I saw Tera Melos live tonight for the first time in many years (they were opening for Minus the Bear) and I guess they could either qualify as awesome music poo poo or stupid music poo poo depending on how you look at them. I was watching the guitarist's feet for most of their set. He's got this gigantic pedalboard and he was just constantly jumping from pedal switch to pedal switch and it was loving hypnotizing to watch  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJALu4w-VKQ

Chalupa Joe posted:I started out playing right handed, and switching to playing lefty after a few months of struggle instantly felt more normal to me and was a heck of a lot easier in that it didn't feel like having to constantly fight the instrument. Ditto, but it was after a few hours. It just wasn't going to work. I switched the guitar around and then it made sense. I'm a lefty that's been playing left handed guitar and bass for decades. Danyull posted:I'm left handed and in 10 or so years of playing have never once even tried a left handed guitar. My left hand has always been better at finer movements like writing while my right arm is stronger, so it's always made sense to me for the left to be the one moving around to hit frets. If anything I feel like it should be the other way around for right handed people There is more than one way to be left handed. Different people are different. I played drums for a while, saw no advantage to switching the kit around. I shoot guns right handed. Do what works for you.

Lester Shy posted:I understand taking a right handed guitar and stringing it backwards if you're left handed, but I cannot wrap my head around just flipping the guitar over and playing like that. Eric Gales plays it just flipped over. In fact, I think his brothers do too; I remember reading something about the oldest one watching Hendrix and figured that's how you are supposed to play and then showed his brothers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-f2Pby42eA

So I'm pretty sure my next guitar is going to be a fancy Ibanez that has a Edge-Zero ii bridge. I have generally avoided locking tremolo's for 20-something years now, because I had a Jackson Dinky with a Floyd when I was like 13, and it was a nightmare to deal with at the time. Is there some sort of guide for how to properly setup an Ibanez edge-zero ii bridge? Dr. Faustus I know you have a billion guitars with that bridge,or something similar, teach me your ways please. I have looked on Youtube and found a few ok videos but I need an even more basic explanation, because it's all new to me basically.

Avoid the Edge III. It works fine at first but one misstep and the knife edge pivots just crumple like butter and you can't just drop in a new trem without spending hundreds. Other edge trems are better as you can replace the knife edges. Setup is a balancing act between the springs in the back and the strings in the front and the challenge is getting all 6 strings balanced while in tune, as the springs are essentially offering even pressure on the back you're really balancing tension from the low strings to the high ones, so always restring and tune in the order 6-1-5-2-4-3. Once you get the lowest and highest strings balanced you'll have fewer problems.

Verizian posted:Avoid the Edge III. It works fine at first but one misstep and the knife edge pivots just crumple like butter and you can't just drop in a new trem without spending hundreds. Floating bridges are a pain in the arse to change strings on, and people will say that you have to change one string at a time. This is a lie: Here is the process I've done for Edge and Edge Pro bridges on the RGs I've had (It works for me, if you break your guitar somehow, it's not my fault)  1) If you put a small block of wood (or a pad of post-it notes works well) under the bridge so it can't fall into the body - You want something which is small enough to easily get out again, and thick enough so that the bridge sits flat, then you can remove all of the strings and not have to spend 3 hours setting everything up again. 2) Remove all of the strings, loosen off the clamps, and set the fine-tuners to halfway - the springs pull the bridge back against the block, you can clean all the 3) I usually feed the strings in so that the ball-ends are at the headstock because I'm lazy and can't be bothered cutting them off, and the balls stop the strings from slipping when you tune up (if you have locking tuners or vintage style with the slots instead of the holes this probably doesn't work and you'll have to cut the ends off anyway). 4) cut the strings at the bridge end about 1-1.5" from the saddles (This just happens to be in line with the edge of the cavity that the bridge sits in), then feed them into the bridge and clamp down. You want enough length that you can tune up to pitch, but because they're held on by the balls at the other end, you don't need more than a turn on the tuning posts. 5) Tune up - stretch the strings etc, once everything is in tune (i.e. balanced properly) the block under the bridge becomes loose, and you can take it out. 6) Check the tuning, fix the clamps at the nut, adjust tuning if necessary at the fine tuners and you're done. The preload on the bridge springs shouldn't need adjustment unless you change string gauge or are setting up for alternate tunings.

Chalupa Joe posted:S'truth. I like to leave plenty of string curled up for two reasons: 1) KD knows why, and 2) If you break a string at the saddle (that's where my breaks always happen) you can un-clamp the saddle, throw the little bit of trapped string away, unwind some string from the tuner, and clamp the string back down. The string is already stretched so pretty much all you have to do is tune back up, clamp back down, and fine tune. Keeps you playing until you're ready to change strings. And it looks really goofy which to me is a plus.

Dr. Faustus posted:This is almost step-for-step exactly what I do, except when I do string "backwards" through the tuning peg and down to the saddle, I don't pull the string all the way to the ball-end. Or, when I string normally I often don't trim the string at the tuner. Wait, so what's holding the string in at the other end if you have the balls at the headstock?

Floyd Rose style bridges are "double locking" as in they lock the string in the bridge and at the headstock via a locking nut. This is supposed to increase tuning stability.

To be fair they work really well at what they set out to do, there's just a lot of tradeoffs to live with. What ended up killing it for me was that having the bridge suspended on springs gave the strings kind of a spongy feel that I didn't care for.

The obvious solution is a headless guitar with double ball end strings. It just makes the most sense. It offers simple and stable design options. And now there are more access to strings to satiate different tastes. So you can adjust the tension based on the preferred scale length. String changes would only take a minute or so with no clipping strings. I mean look at a headless guitar and tell me where it is over designed?

http://users.wfu.edu/breckers/howtoplayguitar.htm quote:The first guitar I bought was a Silvertone. Later I bought a Fender Telecaster, but it really doesn’t matter what kind you buy as long as the tuning pegs are on the end of the neck where they belong. A few years back someone came out with a guitar that tunes at the other end. I’ve never tried one. I guess they sound alright but they look ridiculous and I imagine you’d feel pretty foolish holding one. That would affect your playing. The idea isn’t to feel foolish. The idea is to put a pick in one hand and a guitar in the other and with a tiny movement rule the world.

I just realized I need to buy Tekken 7, so I'm gonna My last comment on current tremolo chat: If I want to do divebombs and squealy harmonics, or just want to play pretty chords and put a nice vibrato on them, I would much rather do that with a solid double-locking trem. That said, in my day-to-day playing I would much rather play a hard-tail and just work my way around those flourishes. I'm lucky in that I actually enjoy putting an hour or two into re-stringing a guitar, because I will strip it down to parts and clean it thoroughly and do a pretty meticulous setup on it before I finish. That doesn't mean I don't really prefer to just cut a set of strings off, zip a set on, tune stretch and go. And I won't even get started on how limited you are with a floating trem if you want to change tunings. gently caress that noise. You basically have to dedicate a guitar to be the platform for just that tuning, then decide if you need to change string gauges. Not so bad if you have several guitars I guess. Hard-tails are awesome and if Ibanez offered more H/S/H RGs with hard-tails I would be buying them. Dr. Faustus fucked around with this message at 14:05 on Dec 3, 2018 |

I’ll echo that Floyd Rose trems are a lot of fun and that divebombing rules, but they are tricky. Bending any note noticeably causes every other string to go pretty significantly flat and changing strings or adjusting the action takes about eight times longer, etc. Non-floating trems are way easier to play in terms of note stability, and you don’t have to be quite as delicate with them, meaning you can beat on them a little bit harder when you’re playing. Also, in my personal experience, Floyd Rose guitars tend to not have quite the sustain of other guitars due to not having nearly as much contact with the body wood, although the significance of this is debatable as anybody who knows what they’re doing with a Floyd is going to have the distortion turned up to 11 because what the gently caress even is the point of having one if you’re not flicking the trem arm and divebombing harmonics left right and center constantly under full gain?
