Sweetwater is awesome - besides sending me root beer barrels when I order something for $5, when your guitar is on it's way they send you pics of your actual guitar. I'm getting this beauty delivered on Monday:

ColdPie posted:What am I looking at there? Nylon acoustic with a tele body shape? It's a thin body nylon acoustic with narrow-ish string spacing and a sound hole on top facing the player. Tim Henson (of Polyphia) signature. If I understand it right, Tim had some old weird Ibanez like this he liked, but the original line was a complete failure. So Ibanez decided to go conservative and apparently did a pretty small production run initially, but the sales just blew up and now there's a massive backorder log for them. The inlay is indeed the "tree of death". Ibanez did a good ad for it too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fch1tUtXc8I On a non-gearhead note, I spent a lot of time doing some of Bernth's picking workouts the past month or two. Boring as hell but I really could see daily improvement. Last night I was going through some tabs and stumbled upon "I am a viking", and realized I could loving play a good part of it. Maybe this "practice" thing is worth looking into further instead of just noodling. Clayton Bigsby fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Dec 24, 2022 |

Clayton Bigsby posted:Got a notice from the dealer that I can expect this late January. Not quite in time for Xmas but I'll take it! Oh poo poo! Definitely post about this when it comes in, I’m super curious how it plays and sounds. Mainly if it can get a fuller nylon sound, it works amazing for Polyphia stuff but they go for a thinner tone and I haven’t heard anything from it with a lot of low mids. I’m on the verge of picking up an 8 string .strandberg*, I’m really happy with my six string Metal NX I just got and want to have a low-weight 8 to jam with. One thing is, I tried an NX8 a few months ago at the guitar center in NYC and it played very poorly. Awful action, really stiff strings, sounded thin, just all around unfun. But the six has been the opposite - action was a tad high from the shop but I now have it super low, and it feels slinky as gently caress. So it’s great for leads and legato runs. I’m leaning towards a refurb or used as that gets me to ~$1400, which imo is a fair price for these guys. Just worried about QC issues or it feeling as bad as the NYC one did. There’s only one way to find out though, so expect a post in a month or so where I detail if this was a dumb decision! If it does work, I’ve got six guitars to sell though… my collection is too large (16 guitars, 2 basses) and I don’t even play half of them anymore.

I'm finally starting to get back into guitarin' after about a year away from it. I'm not a fan of Justin Guitar (for dumb reasons, its not for me) what's are some other resources? I'm not looking for super beginner stuff. I've been playing to get over the hump of super beginner stuff and I can do barre chords slowly and sorta kind of some solos/lead stuff if its a pentatonic box thing. I know there's that Modern Method for guitar by William Leavitt, but I don't know where to jump in with it. Does anyone have any examples? I can read standard notation and have far more theory knowledge that I don't apply to anything. I'm looking more for "Here's an application of [technique] in [song]". Give me something that makes me good at switching between chords even if its in Ab major or some poo poo. I already have guitar aerobics somewhere around here, somewhere. For reference with Bass, I really liked studybass.com and bass buzz on youtube. Bassists just seem to have their poo poo together.

If you like mainly Rock and Metal(and some other stuff too, Dawes has some fingerpicking stuff and things like that), Riffhard is absolutely worth the subscription. There's lessons and stuff up from a lot of cool dudes like John Browne, Wes Hauch, Dean Lamb, Dave Davidson, Tom Quayle, etc.

I have one of those Hal Leonard Jazz guitar method books because it was cheap and it was a quick way for me to get started again; I don’t really use it now but they have a few other genres too that are probably fine. I can’t vouch if they’re better or worse than the Jazz one though.

Fender Play is worth checking out. It’s similar to Justin Guitar, being video-centric, but no Justin if that’s your main gripe.

Jyrraeth posted:I'm finally starting to get back into guitarin' after about a year away from it. if you have enough theory knowledge to know what chord progressions and triads are, that's probably going to be something you can immediately start working on and see progress. the guitar barre chords don't have the special relevance introductory guitar material places on them, they're just big voicings that sound good on the instrument. triad shapes are just as important, and can be easier mechanically once you get decent at targeting smaller subsets of strings than "all of them". pick chord progressions from songs you like, and play over them with the barre chords you know already. learn some triad voicings, incorporate them where it seems natural/easy. developing a vocabulary of chords you're comfortable with is more important than half-learning lots of them. your barre chords will sound bigger when you contrast them with smaller voicings.

Not specifically guitar related, but if you sell gear on Reverb the IRS has delayed the $600 Form 1099-K reporting BS for a year. https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertwood/2022/12/23/irs-delays-until-2023-onerous-600-form-1099-k-reporting-threshold/

I probably will enjoy it but again I'm sick of this "Try for free! please give us your CC first..." For the record I like Justin as a personality, I just don't like how he approaches things. creamcorn posted:if you have enough theory knowledge to know what chord progressions and triads are, that's probably going to be something you can immediately start working on and see progress. the guitar barre chords don't have the special relevance introductory guitar material places on them, they're just big voicings that sound good on the instrument. Thankya, that's something easy to dive into that I never thought about. Barre chords are but one tool amongst many. Learning shell chords and getting used to finding triads on the fretboard is something I've wanted to do but I never thought it'd be that simple. Def want to get away from super muddy barre chords in general

I have no legitimate reason to buy it but I am very interested in the two notes revolt. I am a total mark who falls for these gimmicky analogue/digital hybrid things but they do mimic the actual recording setup I have slowly assembled for myself

It's okay, but I don't think it offers much beyond beginner stuff. It's handy for a collection of riffs and songs I can play along to if I'm feeling a bit stuck, though.

Haven’t posted in the guitar thread for awhile. For the last year or so I’ve either been playing my acoustic or using my electric just to sample little things to my other electronic instruments. My 9 year old nephew has been playing acoustic for a year now, got a fender strat and Marshall solid state for Christmas (my parents spoil the grandkids) and is already playing it all day. I want to play with him when I visit so I decided to finally get a real amp again and get back into traditional playing instead of just sampling chords to other stuff. After noodling with a few Fender, Marshall and VOX amps in my price range I ended up ordering a VOX AC10 from the official store on Amazon. Got the last one in stock on sale at 399. Feeling really good about that bang-for-buck. It comes tomorrow.

I got myself another Ormsby for Christmas. The neck on this newer run is a bit thinner, and the binding and flamed top makes this one a lot prettier than my other one. I really want one of their X or V guitars now.

Firefly put up some double cut LP Specials, with a much closer body shape than the old ones https://guitarsgarden.com/collections/ffdc/products/ffdc-style-red-color-solid-body-electric-guitar Also double necks, including a 12/6 with three pickups on both and a 4/6 with a bass neck instead of a 12 string. https://guitarsgarden.com/collections/fflg $399-99-$429.99, but they come with a hard case at least.

I mostly play through modelers any more but there is nothing quite like playing through a roaring tube amp and cabinet. Modelers are amazing but, at the risk of sounding like a cork sniffing blues dentist, tube amps have a certain ~*feeeeel*~ that just isn't quite there yet with digital amps. Its worth having to put up with the occasional service to have that feeling now and again, even if no one listening could ever tell the difference, at least to me. I know its dumb but cool poo poo doesn't always make sense and tube amps are cool poo poo.

I grew up having to play through a Roland solid state piano amp mostly in the second input in HS jazz band so I’m just used to used to the sound. I also came here to ask something: I got a TC electronic reverb for Christmas that I love. If I want to use the Chorus or Trem on my JC 30 does it matter that much that I put it through the effects loop? Edit: sorry JC 40
