The gibbis knows that dead spots on the fretboard, attack, sustain, moisture content, wood density and mass, finish type and thickness, and least of all timbre are relevant to the quality of a guitar. Aesthetics matter. Wood is just wood, dumbass. you are THE WORST,

Thanks for the compliment on my guitar licks. I'd love to hear your stuff sometime! Didn't you say you had posted works in progress somewhere? What gear did you play it on? Is it pretty? Any ugly guitars in it? Link me some, it's only fair. I shared, it's your turn!

i'm not even convinced that having a set neck or neck-thru guitar is any better than an inexpensive bolt-on. plus repairs are easier with a bolt-on.

Meant to add, you're definitely correct: repairs and upkeep are so much easier and cheaper with bolt-on necks. Some people just won't settle for less than neck-through, though. Musicians are finicky.

bunky posted:i'm always coming on to everyone. even you, "try-hard guitar guy." But you see, now you finally understand the "You Suck" on my old Kramer Striker 3000ST from 1988. It was to motivate me to try hard. And I did, and the results, however feeble they might be, are online right here for you to pick apart. You won't, though; because you have nothing to come back with except hollow, catty, try-hard "the-bitch-is-back" retorts. To the back of the line with you. Anything else you want to say, save it for PMs; because you've played your hand here and your bluff failed. Adios, Senora. Vayos con Dios.

i saw this steve vai thing vh1 classic played years back and i guess it was the part of the show where he farts around with the whammy bar. anyway he goes on this rant about britney spears for some reason even though it was definitely in the mid-2000s, so past when she was in the public spotlight or anyone normal gave a poo poo about her. then he ends by undermining his autist spiel by saying she's okay all music is good, but adds that he bets "she can't do this" then makes one last triumphant fart noise with his whammy bar because he a man in his late forties totally showed that chick half his age what's what because she didn't spend her teenage years studiously learning the subtle mechanics of the floyd rose double-locking floating tremolo system

Some guitars have entirely too many loving strings. Korn started it with the loving 7 strings (because when you're in drop A it's important to still hit dem high notes right guys?), but then no poo poo stop JUST GET A PIANO ALREADY YOU PRETENTIOUS FUCKS speaking of korn here's fieldy with a 15 string bass. 5 tripled groups, like a 12-string guitar. for that bright, chiming bass tone you want in a nu-metal band.

O, and all you 7-string people? Yeah, that was Vai and Ibanez in 1989 when he first released it on an album, Korn was just forming. Look up "Passion and Warfare." Fucknag, the Chapman Stick has been around since at least 1974. Bolek posted:don't know why you're all mad at steve vai Because they are ignorant as gently caress-all. Vibrato-arm tricks were novel and fun back then. So were crazy paint jobs, monkey-grips, and features no Strat-style had ever had like deep cutaways, cool tremelo routs, and awesome 24-fret necks with scalloped frets, tilted-back headstocks for better string tension, and great access to the high notes. But remember this is the ugly guitar thread so the era or the features mean nothing. While I'm at it, let me tell you about a band called King's X whose bassist played a 12-string Hamer bass. They are the band that inspired all the drop-tuning bands you've pretty much ever heard of: http://www.12stringbass.net/doug.htm No offense, Bort, I love a few Steely Dan tunes but they're before my time. I like the solo to "Hey Nineteen," though. The chord progression is even cooler. Dr. Faustus fucked around with this message at 09:30 on Dec 27, 2013 |

bunky posted:I clicked on all of your links and to be honest, I loved every minute of my exposure to your skills. I'm gonna kinda almost take up for Dr. Faustus, for a second or two. I gave a fair listen to all of his links, and he really does have some respectable skills. He's a good lesson for aspiring guitarists, and that lesson is: There are two types of guitar players. One type is like my old friend Mike. Mike was competent but not great at the instrument. But he was dedicated, reliable, and fun to be around. For over a decade I never performed live or recorded a track without Mike being there, and Mike never missed a mortgage or house payment and he filled that house with all the toys a boy could want. Mike was a team player. The other type of guitar player is the Scarlett O'Hara drama queen that minces around the tour bus pissing and moaning and generally making everybody miserable. Sure they have technical skills, but after three days on the bus you realize you don't care. So you hand them an envelope with bus fair and ditch them at the next truck stop. Years later you see him working at Lowes stocking lumber and bragging about his mad shredding skillz to his twenty year old shift manager. You decide not to say "Hi" because you don't remember his name. It's probably "Dick". So you kids remember that if you want to make a living making music, the person you are is just as important as musician you are. And most importantly, don't be a Dr. Faustus.
