In my dusty shed atm but I'm converting a similar sort of table to hold all 4 amps so I can have some room in my bedroom and jam there.

I have a jazzmaster and I've only been playing like a month. If you want a guitar to make a sound you just have to be good at guitar. I thought JM looked cool so I got one.

Yeah, I watched a few videos. They have alnico v magnets on amazon $14 for a 4 pack. Was considering taking the ceramic pickups out of a cheap pre-gio Ibanez with "powersound" pickups and putting with one of those for some sort of project like I actually have time for projects

play it without using the speedup on your looper
the vibrato and end of the notes give it away its so obvious in the note decay

Why should I leave frets 1 through 5, when I can play anything I want there? It's where everything is safe, where everything makes sense. Guitar Hero happens there. Maybe that's why.

Their usual answer is "I just listened to a lot of different records/learned a lot of records/played along a lot of records"
Steve Vai said For the Love of God came about from meditating on those 2 starting chords, the E9 FLydian thing

I mean yeah that’s one way to do it I think and that certainly builds a lot of vocabulary, but sometimes it doesn’t give you the answer of how to improvise in the style of someone. I’ve been studying James Jamerson’s bass lines for the last two years; I’ve learned and played probably 30 of his recordings. It can be broken down into 3 types of devices: harmonic devices, chord-connecting devices, and rhythmic substitutions. He had this ability to write basslines that were heavily syncopated counter melodies to the vocals, filled with flurries of notes that somehow stayed in the pockets without overplaying. Here are two examples of songs like:
https://youtu.be/LEyD0qBFUNg
https://youtu.be/DSMLUjukpRU
1/2
>>
>>129571814
But if you break down every single bassline, every 1st and 3rd beat which are the strong, harmonic beats of a measure in western music (including anticipations) he ALWAYS plays a chord tone on that beat no matter how dense or syncopated the playing. He recorded a couple hundred if not more songs at Motown but he had a couple dozen intervalic devices that he liked to favor and was drawn to certain ones in specific keys, like octave drops when playing in F. He would play with the length of these devices sometimes playing a one bar phrase over two bars or even condensing it down into a single beat or two. Then he would use scalar or chromatic devices to gently walk up to the next chord change unless he was playing riff based songs or pedaling. I’ve understood the devices and rhythmic substitutions for a long time but I had to practice writing quarter note jazz basslines for a year to even begin to understand his harmonic and melodic framework. I’m still not there but it all just finally clicked together recently.

It sounds kind of lame typing it out like this but it was important for me to understand how a session player could write what is considered the most dense, in the pocket, melodic basslines in 15-20 minutes and also served the song without overplaying.

thanks mane. the final piece of the puzzle was learning that the passing notes including the devices on beats 2 and 4 were always just chromatic/scalar connections to the chord tones on beat 1 and 3. I don’t play guitar really outside of strooming but it would be interesting to figure out what makes someone like steve lukather tick

>fighting with a setup again
>the musicnomad guy says 1,5mm low E is medium
>stewmac says 2mm is medium
>mine is slightly above 2mm and buzzing at one point
I have set an even larger neck relief (bit more than 0,010 inch) and yet it's buzzing through the amp when playing slightly harder (passionate strumming). How do people get actions that low?

What's your first electric/acoustic guitar?
>>

>>129572202
I intend to built a Fender baritone out
>Classic Vibe Squier Strat $350
>Fender MiM Baritone Neck $350
>new pickups should the Squire turn out to be lackluster $100-150
That's $800 tops for a pretty Classic Vibe body (which is at least on par with MiM Fender) and a genuine Fender neck to create a pretty unique high quality guitar to my liking and specifications.
Considering the chinkshit Indonesia Fenders are like $650 and the cheapest MiM player Fenders which are worse than Classic Vibe Squiers this is a fucking steal.

first acoustic: some dogass strad-o-lin korean nylon acoustic that my dad got it the 1970s but never learned to play
first electric: a turbodogshit dean vendetta I (diamond back tuners, yes those terrible ones) that I bought off my cousin in 2005 for $90

You might need a fret level and crown
Whatever this guy defines as low or medium action should be a good working definition of it
https://youtu.be/93oPzQ0t99s?t=131
Try recording it with a proper mic (shitty phone mics wont pick up the details) or through an interface with the tone you use mostly. Maybe it's not heard through there. If I use split coil and positions 2 3 4 on my superstrat I can hear the buzz sometimes but not really with humbuckers. I can tolerate it because I like playing with almost no relief in the neck more than the occassional buzz that I'll suffer when I smack the low E string.
