Fucking Fender mafia! Why are boomers like this?

Fender is what people want to play duh

>>129242469
cool shit will sit for an eternity because it’s mostly boomers and parents making in store purchases

>>129242494
I'd argue an SG has more wall appeal than any fender.

Phill talked about this but FMIC gets you fender, squier, charvel, and gretsch all under one account, one payout. Most stores only have 2-4 accounts because it's convenient and safer

does the type of metal/plastic casing affect the tone of the synth?

Jaguars don't sell to normies they look weird. Normies see the SG as the "cool" guitar and the strat as the "generic" guitar. They don't know the other ones.

>>129242469
My area has two stores, one of which has a handful of fender/squire strats because it's focused on school band rentals, and the other only carries b-tier brands and lower, with the most notable brands being cort and tagima.

I wonder what the bass6 would sound like with jazzmaster pickups

>>129242495
Gibson is the old man guitar now and fender is what kids want to play.

JHS may be a meme brand at this point, but their Muff in conjunction with EHX is worth checking out. It’s the best sounding Muff for my money and pairs really nicely with OD and even Muff stacking. I’m going to preempt the anon who will say “your pedals are too spaced out”, the closer your pedals are together is a direct correlation with how gay you are and how well you fit in on r/pedalboard. Shoe size factors into this equation as well and everyone knows that correlates with dick and ball size and by extension, level and quality of toan.

>>129242776
Fender sits in the same category in my mind. It's resting on 50+ year old laurels just like Gibson.

Not for a long time. I don’t see it in the foreseeable future either, I’m in the work 10+ hours a day phase of my life, maybe when I hit 40 or 50 I’ll join a bar band or something.

>>129244913
i get it but isnt that like 70% of rock music. if i want clean i should just go acoustic. I could dial the reverb and echo back a bit and show the power chords and pedal tones im using. its pretty simple playing. Well maybe not the strumming technique. Its finger picked with some light touches and harder pickings strewn about. Im just kinda dancing with the reverb.

Should practice be done on distortion

Just be yourself.

https://voca.ro/12hjmN5LkcxD

>>129248069
Depends what you're playing. Wes Montgomery? Cannibal Corpse? Practice with high headroom clean, with distortion, then at band practice volumes

If you only play clean you might not notice you're making extraneous noises
If you only play distorted you may feel confident you're getting the notes out but it might be the compression carrying your technique
If you don't practice playing loud it may suprise you when you actually play with a drummer

>>129242469
Not sure if it's still like this, but I worked for many years in a big music store in Scandinavia and you could only carry Fender products if you had a certain amount of it. So you basically had to carry their entire catalogue of products if you wanted to sell anything. And you pretty much made no money from them. The profit margin was so low you could barely get employee discounts on any Fender stuff.
That's probably why stores pack so much Fender gear. Fender have also been way better at appealing to younger generations while Gibson have gone full on Harley Davidson strategy.

get a compressor pedal friend ;-)

No. If you can’t hear the notes you’re fucking up you’re just hiding behind it.

Only to practice muting. Unplug for everything else.

Shit advice

>>129248069
Sometimes is fine
You dont want to always practice on distortion because you might accidentally be hiding/missing errors in your finger dynamics
But also you do need to have some understanding of how distortion affects your playing so you should practice both sometimes
Generally though you want to practice with clean tone and then turn the distortion on for full playthroughs

>>129248550
if you can't hear the mistake with distortion, did the mistake matter?

Well this is my first production ever, the bassline is my guitar with 1 octave lower, the only part I don't play myself is the drums
I intended to play post punk but ended up with that I don't know how to qualify it
sync is not perfect and some effects should be improved but what do you think? Anything can be helpful

>>129243977
Very nice

>>129244013
Very nice. Is that a MIJ?

you could probably play some more notes, there’s a lot of space in the song also try aligning the bass with the kick drum

What should I practice today?

I was wondering if it was too boring indeed thanks

>>129245443
You tried so hard and got so far..

>>129249255
boring night not be the right word but it could help drive the song

does anyone else enjoy playing guitar? its fun

Arpeggios

>>129249598
We don't do that here. We buy guitars and post pictures of them in stands

>>129249621
ah so its like /v/. got it. ill head back to /fit/ to discuss music

>>129249598
I enjoy pretending to play guitar

>>129249633
Ive had some of my best music and guitar discussions on /v/ and /sp/ unironically

>>129242452
Why do they flip-flop the pickups so the screws are down at the bridge, but up for the neck? Is there a tonal difference?

where can i buy a bc rich stealth for a decent price?

>>129249123
MIJ, 1994, lace sensors from siamese dream era, perfect neck with low frets plays chords like nothing else

>>129249621
I bought a guitar, sometimes when I get pissed of from practicing I just pretend I'm playing the song accurately, or just play with the features.

Post a specific exercise you like

>>129248942
First take: the mixing is horrid. It hurt my ears listening with headphones. The "bass" sounded nice. Get your ass to /prod/ and get mixing tips.

Aside from that, I enjoyed it. What this really needs is s b-section. It feels like its building up to something that never comes. Doesn't have to be too crazy. You could literally just play the same shit but with some big messy powerchords.

If you want to cheese the solo, get a whammy pedal.

All in all, solid effort especially for a first production.

>>129249845
who tf is "hinds"?

>>129249851
Here's a good exercise.
C Major (Transpose this to other keys)
CEGAFGE
DFABGAF
(Repeat this pattern up the neck)
The entire time you do this, you must stay within a 4-fret spread. If going to the next note requires you to stretch your pinky or index finger out of position, that means you need to find a place along the way to shift to the next scale position on the neck.

>>129249875
by "repeat this pattern" i mean do the same pattern but the first note goes up the C major scale, so each time you repeat the pattern it's gone up by one note

>>129249883
>1 3 5 6 4 5 3

What's the idea behind the pattern?

>>129249898
IDK that's just what my teacher had me practice and I like it. There's a lot of note skipping so it forces you to think differently about when you should switch to the next scale pattern, but it ascends and descends in a predictable way which gives you time to figure it out.

>>129249851
incline db bench press and atg barbell squats

>>129249898
Also I fucked up theres one more note
1 3 5 6 4 5 3 4
Then when you repeat the pattern it loops into the next sequence nicely.

>>129249977
my favorites are yates rows and barbell curls

For me, it's Arnold Press. I had a shoulder injury and really thought I needed surgery, but a few weeks of Arnold Press completely cured by shoulder pain. Don't sleep on it

>>129250030
lifts like those always seemed a bit memey to me. i found that the more bread and butter an exercise is, the better it was for me. standard presses, rows, curls, etc. zerchers are lit though

>>129249851
I do squats incline chest press dumbbell and barbell, dumbbell curls probably my favorites.

>>129249995
hell yeah. those rows are great for rear delta and traps

>>129249990
Am I supposed to use the same 4-frets spread all the way through? Or can I change it when I have done the pattern starting from C and go to do the pattern starting from D, etc.?

>>129250213
It will not be on the first note of the pattern, it will be somewhere in the middle of a pattern when you need to shift your whole hand up a fret or two to the next position. If you do it at the start of a pattern only, you'll hit a point where you can't fret the next note without stretching, and the point of the exercise is not to do that.

>>129250213
I would separate your practice so you can focus on developing the muscle memory of the scale itself better. keep same shape when changing keys, if you want to practice different shapes keep the same key

>>129250121
I thought it was a meme too, but one day I just thought, "well, Arnold is Arnold" and that night my shoulder felt better than ever. Been doing it twice a week last few months and my shoulder is basically healed. For reference, my shoulder was so fucked I could barely drive my motorcycle

>>129250264
oh i can see it definitely helping if you have a shoulder injury when you put it like that. glad it helped, injuries are such a pain in the ass.

>>129250264
I’ll try them. I tore the rotator cuff in my right arm a long time ago and my right arm will hurt and go numb when I do push exercises

>>129250226

>>129249861
yes the mixing is chaotic it's a whole new world for me that need some time to understand. I struggle to follow a guideline and building it like a story but with this first try I learnt a lot where I was unable to get my head around before on how to leave some space between different parts, how to "finish" a song. I was planning to add a b section indeed because it feel too short but I wanted some advices first to see what could go wrong for now

overall after a few days struggling I finally really enjoyed playing and improvising over each layer of the song. I planned to do a particular musical style but it's a lot easier to play whatever you have in your mind

really nice feedback

>>129244155
babby finally grew calluses

>>129250373
Very good anon, practice that for a bit until you can make it all the way up two octaves above the root. Then work on increasing speed with smooth transitions to each position.

>>129250390
I’ve been playing bass for 3 years and the only callus I have is on my right index finger from popping

>>129246567
Yuropoor here, is country really such a big deal in muttland that something like Nashville can sustain itself?
From what I see on youtube Nashville houses tens of thousands of guitarists who all own expensive as shit gear and somehow manage to make do with bar gigs.
Are housing prices so low there that so many artfags can congregate in one place without saturating the market to such an extent that the whole thing crashes? On top of that it seems Nashville is purely blues and country shittery, maybe some pop. So it's even more niche.

We have nothing like this in Europe, all our hubs are simply in the big cities and those are big for other reasons, no huge music city that fully sustains itself on musicians moving there.

>>129250468
country has been just pop for decades and yes

>>129250468
People have been moving to Nashville from other parts of the country for more than a decade, to get away from states that have gone bad like California. Eventually Nashville will suffer from overpopulation and the wrong kind of population too, but for now it's a really cool city. Nashville has the kind of fun vibe that Austin had a long time ago before becoming too liberal and too hipster.

>>129250502
do NOT click on this… wow…

>>129250477
>>129250488
But how the fuck does a city that is purely comprised of professional musicians thrive? All Nashville fags you see online are either doing studio work recording some solo "artist" song that won't even get 1000 listens on spotify or they do 20 gigs per day in bars yet they all have walls full of Fenders and Novos and boutique amps. Does rent not exist over there or what? It seems even bigger content creators from other parts of the country cannot live such lavish lifestyles despite doing the same job.

>>129250468
>>129250488
the guitar scene is full of trust fund babs who pay to play, you can’t break in without either cash or connections

>>129250511
Sounds nice. But it is a guitar, not a bass guitar

>>129250558
see>>129250580
the vast majority in Nashville are mediocre larpers, even the session guys are trust fund

My fingertips are hurting a bit, on both the left and the right hand. Enough practicing for today I guess

>>129250558
Online is not reality. You are seeing what someone has decided is profitable for you to see. A kid with no success who spends a fortune on music gear anyway is exactly what you're meant to be seeing.

>>129250589
i imagine this exercise is even better for bass because stretching is even harder

>>129250601
I mean someone like that black dude who robotically tells guitar reviews and amps or Rhett Shull are obviously trust fund, but it's hard to fake actual gigs like for example this dude: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLfsreSW_uY
yet he has five figure worth of gear just chilling behind him and so do all those guys he gigs with while living in huge houses in Nashville, I'm always wondering how the fuck these people sustain their lifestyles, I doubt all those tens of thousands of Nashville musicians are trust fund babies.

>>129250671
>i've never heard of this guy and yet he makes a good amount of money making music, what gives
>huh? what's a studio musician?

Played my strat today. Made me feel like a piece of shit the whole time. What a piece of shit guitar I don't even know why I still own it. Tone as limp as my dick when I'm coked out and already fapped twice earlier. Neck feels ok. Nice ergonomics but single coils are gay and replacing the bridge with a humbucker is even gayer because humbuckers in strats are gay. May sell it. Or play it in five months and once again feel like a piece of shit.

>>129250671
instead of being a snark i'll just tell you. moving to nashville as a studio musician is like moving to san francisco as a software engineer. there are people there trying to make things, which creates a demand for people that will help them do that. nashville is full of people ready to spend money to record their music, and this guy uses them for his paycheck
this kind of thing only works in a city with lots of people trying to record music

>>129250711
Just put it away until your memory of this day fades and you forget that it's a piece of shit. Then pick it up, play and be disappointed again. Never learn, anon.

>>129250711
it feels like shit because you just switched to it after playing a different guitar. your shit is not dialed in

>>129250671
they aren’t really making it. they’re all triple dipping gigs, social media, and lessons. I was taking lessons with bryan sutton who is arguably the largest acoustic session guitarist in the country and he had way too much time to do lessons. most places won’t even look at you nowadays unless you have a social media presence. ticketmaster and streaming apps have raped what little money people still spend on music

>>129250812
>arguably the largest acoustic session guitarist in the country and he had way too much time to do lessons
He has fat residuals propping him up, he doesnt need to do much now

>>129250935
perhaps. he is still taking a ton of session gigs

Struggling with my peavey cause I can't rest my finger properly for fingerstyle and I'm not very good with picking.

>>129251014
wdym no finger rest doesn’t it have two pickups

how do I unsee the penis headstock on the grabber bases

>>129251040
My thumb keeps slipping off the pickup. Im a bit retarded

>>129251042
if it was up your ass you’d know

>>129251068
it’s not really proper technique to stay on the pickup all the time. I move my thumb to the string above the one I’m playing and left hand is muting the ones below the one I’m playing

>>129251069
you've been in this thread making this joke for the better part of a decade
a decade anon

>129251069
ya see... that was uncalled for

>>129251084
the joke was it’s a phallic object and if it was inserted into his rectum he would in fact no longer be able to see it

that is literally all the arts.
