Local auction near me has a wrecked les paul.. any way to tell if this is a genuine Gibson from these low-res photos? It looks like the maple cap has split from the body and the body is hollow, but apparently Gibson has a "chambered" weight relief option that could look like that.

It has no binding on the body or fretboard, so there's no nibs to look for on the edge of the frets. The bridge posts seem correct? I don't know what models, if any, have a P90 in the neck and a humbucker in the bridge. The truss rod cover looks correct. e: I read that all gibsons are nitro rather than poly, I think nitro cracks as it ages? The weathering on the headstock looks very weird and hard to tell if nitro or poly mewse fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Feb 28, 2024 |

Looks right for a Gibson BFG (barely finished guitar). Right setup, and no inlays or binding on those.

I really like the BFG pickup combination but found the alligator finishes horrible. There was a P90/Hum signature called the Lou Pallo which I did like - basically a black Standard with natural back and sides and LPC inlays. He was the second guitarist in the Les Paul Trio.

How do people feel about the 64GB iPad for doing some light recording? An extra $150 is a lot of scratch for more space. I'm guessing I'd want to leverage external storage quite a bit anyways.

I have a very dumb beginner question/problem. I don't understand how to use a metronome to keep time on a song that has musical segments that don't line up cleanly in the meaure? I can play one song, this simple rendition of the BG3 main theme: https://youtu.be/ykBfFRbpVlo?si=CGDFAF6MUWJ1ORF_ I know the whole song now and I can hit most of the notes more or less correctly every time (like it's rarer and rarer for me to hit the entirely wrong string or catch my thumb nail on the string above it, etc). It's getting to the point that I can hear (and correct) finer and smaller problems when I play, like I'm not worried so much about learning the song but about playing it well, so that it sounds good. So that's all fine, good stuff. The problem is with the metronome. If I'm understanding the video, bits of the song don't line up with the bars and measures? Compare this to bad moon rising, the only other song I learned (before I realized I don't actually want to strum chords in rhythm guitar, I want to finger pick melodies), all the changes happen on a very clear alignment with the beat. So, I'm not sure how to use the metronome to keep time? Just keep practicing and be aware of where I am in the measures even though it may not line up with where I am in any particular bit of playing? Sounds hard! Edit: Bar 22 is mostly what I'm complaining about. Jack B Nimble fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Feb 29, 2024 |

Are you using the metronome alongside something like Spotify, or using the metronome and playing it on guitar without the backing track? Either way the answer to your question is to look into a click track, which is basically a preprogrammed metronome that will do tempo changes when you've programmed it to. I've only ever used them inside of a digital audio workstation and don't know a standalone program/product that will make these.

I'm pretty much exclusively acoustic-electric these days, but just wading into the ideal setup with my band am i crazy for just bringing my pedalboard and an Alto powered loudspeaker (2000watt 15" speaker) for this small club gig I have tomorrow night? more EQ would be cool but I think its dialed in enough and has been plenty loud in rehearsals, not even halfway turned up

I was just turning on the metronome on my "guitar tuna" mobile app and trying to play. Maybe I should actually look into it more; I'll check out that click track and more on metronomes generally.

It's hard to read on my phone but I think bar 22? You have to hit four E11s after a pause, three are one bar and the fourth is on the next?

Jack B Nimble posted:It's hard to read on my phone but I think bar 22? You have to hit four E11s after a pause, three are one bar and the fourth is on the next? So it seems like you're wondering about counting sub-divisions? So like the metronome is playing quarter notes (one, two, three, four) but at the end of that measure you're playing sixteenth notes (four times as fast: one-E-and-A, two-E-and-A, three-E-and-A, four-E-and-A) and you're playing the E-and-A of four and then the one of the next measure. Yeah? One thing you can do to get used to this if you're brand new to it is to count it out loud. Like with words with your mouth. So set the metronome to play quarter notes and say along with it, "one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four" over and over. Then do eighth notes, twice as fast: "one and, two and, three and, four and, one ...". The numbers fall in the same place they did before, and the ands go in between them. Then sixteenth notes, twice again as fast: "one-EE-and-AH, two-EE-and-AH, three-EE-and-AH ...". It gets pretty fast depending on your base metronome quarter note speed. Once you've got the hang of subdivisions vocally, start playing each on your guitar, maybe along with your vocalizing, if it's easier (it may or may not be easier, depends on yourself). Just one single note, like an open E. Quarter notes along with the metronome (slow), then eighth notes (twice as fast), then sixteenth notes (twice as fast again). Then you can start playing the rhythm of that measure of the song (e-and-a, one). The one will fall exactly along with the metronome click. You can find a lot more on google/youtube some of those terms. Does that help a bit? ColdPie fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Feb 29, 2024 |

Jack B Nimble posted:It does, thanks. I'll work on those exercises just like I worked on learning the notes to the song, and build up over time. It can help to set your metronome to count eighth notes instead of quarter notes when practicing harder 16th note divisions so long as the tempo isn’t too fast. That BG3 song seems like a tempo that would be ok to do. It’s easier to feel where the syncopated 16ths go when you can hear the “and” (+) of every beat from the metronome instead of a slower quarter note beat. If your metronome can’t be set to eighth notes then just double the tempo. So if that was at 60 bpm (guessing but it sounds around there from what he was playing) you would set it to 120 and consider what you’re hearing to be 1 + 2 + 3 + etc. instead of just 1 2 3 etc.
