Guitar Discussion Thread V7 - More strings the better - General

[media]http://soundcloud.com/franke-rosenau/melodic-bass[/media] Just recorded this, how do you guys like this?

Work on timing :p

[QUOTE=LasGunz;28933353]Work on timing :p[/QUOTE] I didn't care about timing in that :buddy: because if I did it wouldn't be out of time.

[QUOTE=LasGunz;28933353]Work on timing :p[/QUOTE] If you think he needs to work on timing: [media]http://soundcloud.com/longy2/piece-1[/media] My first ever attempt at composing a guitar piece. [editline]1st April 2011[/editline] btw the sound is shit because it was recorded directly from a pre-amp.

[QUOTE=absinthe;28925634]I'm pretty partial to NI products as I have kontakt and massive already and I like the way they do things[/QUOTE] I'm a fucking NI fanboy, but gotta admit Amplitube is better in several ways (better high gain amp options, cab sim simulation until you move into multiple mics.) Revalver looks like it has a couple advantages going for it too. [QUOTE=Kab2tract;28925680]That Vandal thing looks interesting.[/QUOTE] Yeah, right now it's kinda questionable but it shows a lot of promise.

They're not actually selling telestrats with a high output pup and a texas special, right?

those are REALLY cool, i'd kill for the semi hollow one in sunburst. the 51' is pretty cool too

Spent all of today recording at my friends house. There's something nice about recording in a room with stone walls and carpet floors. [media]http://soundcloud.com/gregdotporter/please-please-please-let-me[/media] Vocals and acoustic by my friend, the little lead guitar part you hear was me.. as where all of the effects and I mixed the entire track in Reaper <3 This isn't finished though, got a few more guitar bits to add.

The singing sounds so friendly :v: like a nice sunny day in the park with lots of green and tree's and all that. Now for horrible content! Today I extended my song 4 and this is a part of it! It's nearly a 3/4 beat in a 4/4 just made the way I liked it! Confusing, hard to play but I like the damn sound :buddy: [media]http://soundcloud.com/dekay-snug/song-4-part-6-mastered[/media] Hopefuly I find some people liking this BZZZZ GRRR here :smile:

[MEDIA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ8CgCtatio[/MEDIA] learning this is a pain in the ass

-snip- i feel dumb now

Tempted to buy one of these. [img]http://members.cox.net/account12/shorttimer1.JPG[/img]

[QUOTE=Dopey Trout;28936044]Godfuckingdammit I want them all. If these are a joke I will fucking burn down Musician's Friend's central office[/QUOTE] These aren't a joke, they were just announced at the Fender show in Frankfurt. I adore the Lake Placid Blue Mustang :D Ah well, one day it shall be mine.

[QUOTE=Camp er Joe;28937019]Guitar bros if you want to have fun with ya mates I got a prank. Tell your mate there is a special spot on your fingertip where it doesn't hurt. Get a pen and stick it in your hard rock calluses, it should hurt only a little bit. But you need to stick it right in and make it believable. After that grab your mates fingertip and do the same to him but stick it in harder. If he doesn't play guitar or have calluses then it should hurt and proceed to call him a little bitch! :eng101:[/QUOTE] I don't know what's worse, the shitty "prank" or the assumption a pinprick hurts anywhere asides the tender bits. [QUOTE=Dopey Trout;28936044]Godfuckingdammit I want them all. If these are a joke I will fucking burn down Musician's Friend's central office[/QUOTE] But they're so fugly. I'll give you the mustang maybe but the pickguards on those other two are downright gross. Also tele necks just look weird on non-teles. I'd rather just have the tele with those electronics. On a different note: [url]http://decibelguitars.com/[/url] [img]http://lh3.ggpht.com/_V8vzH6r-2mo/S0Dxigy8SRI/AAAAAAAAAGk/ieJMpllH1RU/stealthX7.jpg[/img] Just a mockup but it looks pretty ace to me. Too bad the guy making these seems to be dead in the water.

You said those fenders looked fugly and that thing looked ace? wut.

Fuckin' amazing

[QUOTE=LasGunz;28937541]You said those fenders looked fugly and that thing looked ace? wut.[/QUOTE] I like modern designs and my biggest problems with V shapes are the angle of 'em. That seems like a nice chunkier version of a V. And yeah, I found those specific guitars fugly, I have nothing against most Fender stuff. Actually like teles and jazzmasters a lot. But what they make with leftover bits and pieces don't seem right to me. I mean, imagine if Gibson pulled that shit, you wouldn't go buy a shark fin with a paddle headstock and mismatched pups. [QUOTE=Dopey Trout;28937616]Also I love '51's and weird pickup selections so all of those appeal to me[/QUOTE] Okay fine it's just the hollowbody that's scary.

What do compression pedals do? Nevermind, it sounds like when I turn up the volume on my tube amp.

I like the look of Fenders, but they aren't [b]me[/b]. You know what I'm saying? [editline]1st April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Unreliable;28940421]What do compression pedals do?[/QUOTE] Compress! :eng101:

I just got to set up my birthday present: [img]http://resources.ibanez.com/resourceservicehost/images/Ibanez/web/eg/products/test/S570BRD.gif[/img] The best part was that once I got it all strung up with .10s I thought the intonation would be all wonky, but when I checked it, every string was perfectly intonated. The ZR trem was a breeze to work with, thanks to the tension knob on the back. [editline]1st April 2011[/editline] Can't play it till tomorrow though

I'll be going out to lowes tomorrow to try and find some bigger springs for my guitar. I'll probably end up with some for a door.

Holy crap are you using steel cabling for strings?

[QUOTE=IMA SHAARK;28941301]Holy crap are you using steel cabling for strings?[/QUOTE] Basically [editline]ilikevagina[/editline] Hey guys, whenever I usually play, my left thumb wraps around the neck, which is how I like to play. but whenever I play a rock'n'roll kind of line, my wrist hurts a lot and I have to move my thumb until it is almost parallel to the neck. Rudimentary tablature: A------7-7-9-7-7-7-9-7-7-7-9-7-7-7-9-10 E------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5

[QUOTE=Unreliable;28941033]I'll be going out to lowes tomorrow to try and find some bigger springs for my guitar. I'll probably end up with some for a door.[/QUOTE] Only door springs you'll find there are for crappy storm doors. There are springs down in the hardware department by the screws and anchors for general use which should work. Otherwise you'd be looking at using springs for stockade fence in your guitar and that's just fucking absurd.

[QUOTE=SolidSnake52;28942521]That's just fucking absurd.[/QUOTE] That applies to what I'm doing anyways
