It's gonna be a new guitar day in the coming months but there's really not many options I can get. I'm hoping Harley Benton releases some new stuff because they've removed all their higher end hardtail strat shapes for some reason. Beyond that there's just super shredder Ibanez which I don't think will work cause it turns out I'm not a big fan of very flat radius guitars. There's that AZ standard which I'd buy in a heartbeat if it came in hardtail. I really don't understand why companies are allergic to making hardtail strat style guitars...

On a computer I use this:
https://guitar.sk/guitar/guitar_software.htm
1.3 mb free, no spyware or bullshit. Ugly as sin. But has both MIDI and microphone tuning capabilities. Also has many built in alternative tunings. I've used it since the Win XP days. Never lets me down. But it's ugly as fuck as Bunty was learning photoshop filters. I once asked him to change it and release it without the gay filters but he said no...LOL! But it's free.
-High accuracy (uses 16 bit / 44100 Hz input!)
-You can tune guitars with no signal output (through microphone)
-27 different tuning types (standard, lowered, dropped, open tunings, Hawaiian etc.)
-Modulation of root frequency
-Tuning with midi tones
-Nice and simple environment
-it's free!
I also use an online piano and tune my B string first since it's right beside middle C and go from there...

go to a guitar center and play both first
they are all good guitars, but they are very different. strat has more snarl, JM has thicker mids. the difference in the feel of the trem between both is huge. try, then buy. I prefer the black strat over the green one.

>finally broke my mustang out of humbucker hell
The previous owner had a Seymour Duncan hot rail in this thing, but I found a genuine 1970s mustang bridge pickup snd I soldered it in tonight.
Mustang cavity is a joy. I love how easy this was to solder in. I’m really a big fan of the way these guitars are wired.

>>129908460
I've used everything from 7.5 to 12 to completely flat boards, I really hate fully flat boards but the radius'd ones don't feel much different to me, except for the fact that on smaller radius necks I had to set the action higher or they fret out when I bend and deaden the strings
>>
>>129908471
Stay away from affinity series unless you want sharp frets. Either of the CV ones will treat you well. Jazzmasters are a weird guitar; they don’t really fit in much but they’re still well loved and respected.
I’d love one someday, but it’d have to be a MIJ with matching headstock. I’ll know it when I see it.
That said that strat is cool too, but I wish it were SSS. Humbuckers are not a good thing, fender humbuckers especially. It’s not the 50s anymore, people aren’t bleeding for sustain. Humbuckers just muddy up any cool jazzy or technical chords you may play.

>>129908637
Yes I imagine it's something you'll get used to eventually but still.
>>129908665
Yeah 12 is alright. Guess I'm used to it by now so I'd compare everything to it.
>>129908748
That's one of my bigger worries really. I'd prefer a fairly low action but I also don't want bends fretting out.

R*ddit says you shouldn't partially strum a chord but if you just strum the low 2 and/or 3 strings it's a power chord & if you just strum the bottom 2 and/or 3 strings it's a power chord or triad so what's the deal

That's terrible advice. Varying up how many strings you strum is an easy way to make whatever you're playing more interesting. There are few things more boring than robotically strumming all 6 strings in the same pattern for an entire song.
>>
>>129910090
I often see beginner lessons just outright say the high strings can form the basic chord. Maybe just to get people started on the absolute basics.
Like this is still G..
G - 0
B - 0
E - 3
A G power chord is its own thing. Technically it would be labeled a G5, being the G root and the 5th (D).
>>
>>129910090
power chords are two note chords 5 or 7 notes apart and they don't warble and there isn't enough information in them to tell you if they are minor or major chords
3 5 x x x x is a power chord, so is 3 5 5 x x x

Lesson went great. Got my teacher to show me how to play the page then he rambled about chords and stuff. still havent made that routine I want. Hopefully next week that can get it made. Funny thing is at pretty much every lesson so far we don't do much playing. It's all very helpful theory discussion for now

>>
>>
>>129913282
I practice bass a lot on my own. I get why it makes sense to play in front of the teacher but there is a huge lack of information on my side when it comes to making up basslines when jamming. I can learn every shape or song ever but without theory knowledge, I cant effectively use what I'm learning

>>
>>129913190
nta but my lessons are similar. we start with demonstrating what i've practiced, then he proposes something new, and i ask a million questions so i have some level of understanding before i spend the rest of the week practicing. if you spend your whole lesson playing, you're just paying for a practice buddy.
don't get me wrong, you can and should jam with your teacher to learn how to play live with another musician, but that's a small part of their value. the large part of their value is their knowledge and experience which you take via conversation
>>
>>129913719
my teacher is austitc and went to school for physics and music theory and it's really easy to get him going. it's like an enthusiastic chatgpt but doesn't hallucinate and intuitively knows what to focus on
>>
>>129913719
I’m sure anon if leaving out details but him observing your playing for critique and sending you home with practical application material is 80% of what you should be paying for. doing nothing but talking theory is crazy imo, again assuming we taking the entire post at face value
>>
>>129913791
i disagree with this. correcting your technique is useful but it's not 80% of the value. the biggest thing is really the transfer of theory knowledge and showing you how to apply it. better to apply it during the week while practicing than wasting your precious 30m/1h of lesson time. you should really only need like 5-10 minutes of playing
>>
>>129913791
This is exactly what happened. I didn't go into extreme detail about what we did but it wasnt 100% talking. We did play but majority of this session was talking because I brought my book and asked him to explain something, which lead to me asking more questions.

Goddamnit how the fuck has my guitar teacher not taught me this shit as a kid? You telling me I fucked myself out of playing the instrument because I assumed my disability was the reason that these chords were so hard, rather than the guitar being set up wrong?

Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.
He probably paid to have his shit set up regularly and never learned himself. It's shockingly more common than you might expect.
My ex played for 20 years and still asked me to change her strings and set up her guitars every so often. I enjoyed doing it but it's crazy that people can hold this thing in their hand so often, can play it well, but never learn the ins-and-outs of it.
But as I typed that, I realized I don't know shit about cars despite driving one everyday.

Sup fellas
I've ordered myself a Yamaha Pacifica 120H and a Fender Mustang 25LT, gonna receive them sometime next week. I'm a complete beginner, so it's gonna be my first guitar.
Could I use this setup to learn some country and bossa nova songs? And also midwest emo, math rock, this sort of music. Or would I also need an acoustic for certain genres?
The amp does come with an acoustic preset which (IMO of course) does sound pretty good.
>>
>>129914849
hello I’m the biggest redneck in this thread. like 90% of country music has electric guitar parts, typically played on a telecaster. just pick really close to the bridge on the bridge pickup and can’t the bass on the amp if you can’t split your pickup coils. anything you learn can be transferred to acoustic you’ll just have to adjust to the higher string tension. if you’re not performing or professionally recording nailing the tone is really not a big deal
>>
>>129914905
So I can change the acoustic preset to sound closer to something like this, right?
https://youtu.be/DKFlBd9jJ2I?si=Dw4qGKtygKq8uifs
Out of the box it sounds too clean IMO, whereas the guitar in the video is a little dirtier and heavier
>>
>>
>>
>>129914971
hard to say because that video was most likely overdubbed. it’s impossible to to get the sound of a micd acoustic with pickups. even the best $400 LR baggs that are actually in acoustics still sound off imo. you could try adding some gain idk never used one of those amps

I know, was speaking strat shape in general. I'd love a charvel but those are out of my price range at the moment. Benton used to have models like that but they're all out of production it seems. Ibanez only makes them with a flat as fuck radius. I dunno what else is out there.

His story is a good illustration of why America became so successful. Europe wasn't just impeded by Feudalism, but also Guilds. You couldn't get your start in anything except tedious guild apprenticeships. And it was autistically segmented as well. Like if you were a furniture maker like he was, you couldn't change mid career and try your hand at guitars or violins without having to start from the bottom in a instrument specific Guild. You could be master Carpenter with furniture, but would have to cuck yourself all over again.
That's why Martin moved to the US. He wanted to make guitars, but not deal with the Europe's guild bullshit. I think a lot moved to the US for similar reasons. This is partly what they mean by it being the "land of opportunity".

I generally prefer it without the pickguard so the front looks nicer but I appreciate the pickguard for the customisation options where you can change the look, pickup configuration and even the position of knobs and switches. Doing both is the worst of both worlds. I can appreciate why someone would like it but it just ain't for me.

He'll go back to bass. I'm a guitarist primarily and once I started playing keyboard, I was getting really damn into it to the point I was neglecting guitar. I went back though, your primary instrument always wins. Learning multiple instruments is definitely a good thing though and everyone should do it.

lol thanks. here’s half a song I’m stumbling through atm. I can play the lead well enough on its own but playing chords reliably has been challenging for me, and the lack of confidence carried over to the second half of the recording. I do have several months practice just strumming chords under my belt but actually practicing chord transitions only seems to yield marginal results for me. idk what the problem is maybe it’s just me

you only need 10-15 mins practice every day to see development. if you’re juggling multiple instruments I would probably stick to just practicing core skills on the secondary. a huge time sink for learning an instrument is assimilating vocabulary which is not really necessary for core skills.
