learn a few jazz chords and that thing where you play partial barre chords but let the b and e string ring open also the iron maiden progression (i-VI-VII-i) played as slow arpeggios is surprisingly not a vagina repellent Alec Bald Snatch fucked around with this message at 08:47 on Dec 29, 2013 |

thelightguy posted:Actually it is really kind of sad, Agile makes better sounding, better quality Les Paul-alikes than Gibson makes Les Pauls, and they charge loving pennies for them. agiles are basically rebranded epiphones/ibanezes depending on model made in the same korean factories, except they're paying whoever does the fretwork a little more because they always have really well-dressed frets gibson's the one company where you really are just paying for the name on the headstock, which nobody except the dr. faustuses of the world gives a poo poo about. at least fender still puts out an okay instrument at a reasonable price, and you can still get a japanese made one (which are the best, hands down) for only a few hundred if you can find one the early 90s mexican standard fenders which had a small "squier series" label on the headstock are really good. at the time only the bodies and final assembly were done in mexico. the necks were still made across the border in ontario because they hadn't set up the tooling yet in the new factory, and they shipped them back up north for final qc to ensure the mexicans got it right

White Dog Eggs posted:Famous guitar players never use actualy branded instruments, if Gibson signs a deal with someone to play nothing but Les-Pauls on stage they will go to a master luthier, get them to build a bespoke instrument them slap gibson on the headstock and make the luthier sign an NDA, it's skeevy as gently caress. to their credit ibanez is kinda open about that with lacs e: and i think fender does the same with the masterbuilt series, though they're way too expensive for what they are Alec Bald Snatch fucked around with this message at 05:39 on Dec 31, 2013 |

Bonzo posted:This explains any endorsement deal of drums, bass, and guitar In the 80s. So many assholes bought $150 guitars in 1986 because EVH had a Kramer logo on the headstock. the irony there is van halen's frankenstrat is just off the shelf warmoth parts, which the real deal shredder dudes on shrapnel who put out all those instructional tapes used as well tbf warmoth is pretty quality stuff and still cheaper than buying a whole guitar if you're going the made in usa route e: speaking of custom shop/endorsee nonsense

Dolphin posted:The Heritage is run by old Gibson employees that refused to move to Nashville and they still build their guitars in the original Gibson factory in Kalamazoo Michigan. Much better than Gibson, and much cheaper. i dunno, heritage charges about as much as gibson does these days, though they are nice edwards (esp) is probably the best current non-gibson lp maker. even with shipping/customs and poo poo from japan they're still about half the price of a new gibson. and they come with good stock pickups and a less doofy headstock

kind of an odd history lesson considering a) nobody except guitar for the practicing musician subscribers have ever heard of king's ex and b) blue cheer, led zeppelin, black sabbath, van halen, etc. but i guess if you're the kind of person who can stand to listen to more than a minute of steve vai and have zero frame of reference it makes sense

so i just found out ibanez put up all their old catalogs, which is a great resource for finding ugly guitars to post. anyway going through them i realized this thread has a perfect mascot (other than poster emeritus and our muse dr faustus): mr. frank gambale frank gambale is according to the copy in one of the catalogs a "distinguished jazz guitarist and sweep-picking virtuoso", which i guess meant something in the dark ages of guitar playing, unlike today where every 14 year old kid can bust out more sweeps than a janitorial staffing service, but none of them know how to write a memorable riff during his endorsement deal with ibanez, his appearance in their catalogs chronicles the sudden rise and prolonged, increasingly bizzarely-dressed fall of one seriously weird looking dude and his ugly guitar, as he's gradually pushed further and further back while young upstarts like the korn guys, some dude from offspring, dino cazares, and even giz butt from the prodigy get higher billing as the 90s wear on 1989:  1990:  1991:  1992:  note: apparently mr. gambale has taken to shopping from the mckids collection https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSlXIWhJ6gA 1993:  1994:  as frank takes a backseat to the guitar ibanez desperately tries to peddle to the five remaining people who even know who this guy is and haven't already bought his signature axe, we note a special friend makes an appearance in part of the same photo:  that's right. none other than our friend, mr. bassface himself john patitucci  1997:  1998:  big changes in 98 for ol' frankie. he finally allowed his mom to cut his hair after she'd been nagging him for ages that he'd never find a nice girl looking like a drowned rat. apparently he also had a disco ball surgically attached to his knees. perhaps from a freak sweep-arpeggio accident? and finally we come to 1999, when gambale's endorsement ran out and his last appearance in the vaunted ibanez catalog, almost as an aside. a tiny photo tucked in the corner of page 10, alongside guys from such well-remembered bands like pitchshifter and reel big fish  thanks for taking a trip down memory lane with photos of some goober's lovely haircut. here's another page of totally rad guitars from the ibanez usa custom shop, which seemed to have been painted by the design team that makes those shirts with the wolves and unicorns and wizards dunking flaming basketballs

Rhopunzel posted:Yup precisely. I was even thinking of Guthrie Govan as one of the bulletproof artists they'd reference. I had a similar realisation with art - I can appreciate stuff like that from a technical standpoint, but it would never go in my playlist. kinda says everything that needs to be said when you type his name into youtube and an actual song doesn't pop up until like the third page of results Rhopunzel posted:marty friedman was one of my idols but that j-pop poo poo was just lol, i really hoped he'd have come back when megadeth reformed in 2004. he probably makes way more money now as a tv personality than he'd make touring with the grampas of thrash oldies tours
