I tried to take this advice and just get things done as I now have a mic, a DAW and a decent set of guitars but writing riff based music that isn't completely derivative feels hard AF. Everything comes out like a freaking Metallica song

try listening to music outside your comfort zone but still kind of in the wheelhouse of what you're aiming for. try and find a cool riff and figure out how it's played. you might learn a new technique, and in butchering the riff come up with something unique

I have a problem. I can't say no to guitars. Got this for a stupid stupid good deal on my local craigslist and couldn't say no.    Ibanez Prestige RG752FX, with case for $450. Feel like I stole the drat thing. Really want to put a set of Titans into this guitar too.

Yeah I couldn't believe he accepted it. he had it up for $700 and I guess his life kind of fell apart in a hurry so he was just trying to get money as quick as possible. It has a few dings here and there, and the bridge is corroded a bit (thinking about maybe ordering a new one but we'll see how much it bugs me). Need to work on the setup a bit, he had it in drop B and I'm going to be using it for Drop G#.

$500 MSRP Gibsons? Going to need to put a lot of fanboys in suicide watch. I hope it works out though, digging that safety yellow one at the top. Definitely going to troll through their social media accounts when the time is right though.

They did but they were still all very brown and traditional, even though I liked them they weren't doing what they are doing here, this is a real breath of fresh air I think. The Firebird does look odd, I keep thinking it's great, then not. But I like the bold new ideas here, especially for Gibson as they usually gently caress things up when they try something new  I can really see me getting that light green one. They have a PRS Vela vibe which I am loving.

Why doesn't the Firebird have Firebird pickups? And why do NONE of them have P-90s? They have a Vela vibe but Vela is HS.

They are from a polish website, reports are that not all models are officially announced and it seems oddly region specific. It's a bit early I suppose, but I really hope this line gets released everywhere, I really love the freshness of them.

http://www.metal-rules.com/interviews/MorbidAngel_Wacken.htm Nature, the swamps where I live, Florida -wetlands. Just natural Florida -wetlands. Not the beach, not the softwater - but the freshwater, the lakes, the woods, the forests and the swamps like we were taking those pictures at for "Formulas...". Stuff like that and also a big influence was videogames on the computer. I play this game called "Quake III Arena" and it�s very popular game today. And I have a group of players - like a team and we are called "The Sailor Scouts". It�s kind of a team, it�s like a "Sailor Moon" which is a Japanese cartoon. And if you know more about Japanese cartoons, they have a certain style. Like with girls where they draw girls and where they do their thing, whatever! So, that�s been a big influence. That type of stuff, my group - my gamning team "The Sailor Scouts" and "Flamebat(!)" and watching it. A lot of stuff I�d watch just to spectate, just watch the game, watch my player�s playing while I�d be playing the guitar and watching the game. Some of the stuff came from that.

Can anybody point me to a resource on how to play this kind of blues/pentatonic noodling around? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9kW6Up9P1g&t=118s It's not especially difficult, but I'd like to 'see' how to do this cascading pentatonic patterns in a tab form or maybe a tutorial video. Anybody got a resource handy for those trying to up their blues solo speed game?

So whats it take to keep a guitar from constantly going slightly out of tune when dropping to lower tunings, C standard for instance, slight tune ups are required every couple minutes as I work on this tab. I'm using an LTD EC-401QM.

Everything comes out like a freaking Metallica song Been meaning to respond for a while, but... life. When you're the riffmaster working in a riff-based genre, you do feel pressured - you get a miniscule amount of time and a handful of notes to try and come up with something original, and it's easy to start worrying that you're ripping off your influences or even yourself. What everyone else said is very true, you should try and listen to as many riffish bands as you can. The way Mudhoney puts a riff together is different than the way Metallica does. Soundgarden is heavily influenced by Sabbath (who isn't?), but still sound distinctive. So your homework is try and listen to as much guitar rock as you can, preferably at high volume around others.  My process is usually to start with a specific key just to keep it manageable, even if I know I'll be throwing in accidentals down the the line. Jumping into keys you're not familiar with can be a good way to break out of a rut - I wrote "Miskatonic Love" in D Dorian because I'd never worked in that before and it seemed to fit the lyrics. (Not to put myself out there as Riffmaster General, it's just that mine is the only creative process I can honestly speak to.) "Potter's Bluff" was me trying to go for something like Sabbath's chromatic runs (think the bridge to "Iron Man"). The other starting point, of course, is rhythm. In my case, my singer sends me the lyrics he's been working on, so I often start from there. The verse riff from "Puppet Massacre" and the chorus from "De Vermis Mysteriis" both came into being that way, which has actually made it hard to teach newer band members who unfamiliar with the lyrics. Rhythms can come from elsewhere, too - sometimes I'll dial in a non-rock setting on my drum machine and noodle over that. "Welcome to the Wasteland" came from loving around with Dr. Groove's hip-hop settings, for instance. The important thing is to not worry about it. Just keep coming up with stuff and you'll feel better about your output over time. Another thing to remember about riffwriting is that you're only doing one element of the entire song. Once everyone else has added their parts it may not sound like a Metallica rip-off any more, even if you don't change your part at all. (Spoiler - you will.)

Is there an agreed upon healthy posture for playing guitar sitting down? I started playing guitar a few weeks ago and have been practicing maybe on average 1 hour each day, sometimes much longer, sometimes shorter. Start of last week while working out I got a really bad pain in my neck, which i thought I caused during an exercise, so I took a week off working out (at first I thought I'd just do body weight exercises for a week but those made my neck hurt the same way). Now a week later I just did some chin ups and the same pain is back, so I think the problem is with sitting and practicing guitar while looking down at the neck or the bridge. I have been enjoying playing guitar and don't want to give it up, so my plan is to stop playing for a week and see if that resolves the issue. If it's because of the guitar then I hope I can find some better way to play.

Seashell Salesman posted:Is there an agreed upon healthy posture for playing guitar sitting down? Try not to hunch your back over or do that horrible posture where you're leaning forward and tilting your head to the right and then turning it left so your face is pointing at your fret hand. . If you're having trouble seeing the frets without twisting and hunching, instead of holding the guitar vertical, tilt the top "back" a bit towards you so that the fretboard and face are angled up a bit. I can't explain this very well.

I'm using an LTD EC-401QM. I have this same problem on my older EC-1000 when tuning down to C standard. Putting heavier gauge strings on certainly helped, i use 54-12s for stuff around C-D standard on mine, but even they feel kind of floppy and the 3rd string will go flat after bends no matter what size string i put on it. I think it helps to avoid constantly changing tunings every 5 minutes, like just leave it in c-standard and play it for a couple of days to let it all settle down.

Having a wound g might help. You could go with a light or medium gauge 7 string set and toss the highest string.

It could be an issue with the nut. If a string is catching on the nut, going for a bend will pull it out of tune.
