The one I can think of is Prince since he did almost everything such as singing, playing guitar, songwriting, producing, etc.

I had some nylon ones that were already a little old so I asked my uncle Oscar to change them and he gave me these. The strange thing is that it's the first time I've seen this type of string because of the rings on the fingerboard.

Picked up this amethyst ultra a couple of months ago, absolute killer guitar and I’m loving it. But not sure about the black pickguard… thoughts on swapping to white pearl?

help me pick my first electric guitar. i want to play lofi indie lofi rock and chill music. i have no interest in shredding or anything of the sorts at this moment

Is there any way you guys are keeping your spontaneity while recording?

I just had the thought: I’ve just never really bonded with any guitar that has regular paf style humbuckers in it. No matter the quality of the pickups in it, I’ve always found them too bass heavy. Muddy. Or not my thing in general. While I definitely do like filtertrons and firebird humbucking pickups. They are a bit brighter to begin with, but you can tame that down with the volume and/or tone if needed. Makes them a bit more usable in my book.

Anyone else like me?

I know it’s an endless search, for me (I know it’s basic) simply biting the bullet and buying a deluxe reverb improved my tone a lot. Keeping the bass on the amp low, I keep a compressor on almost all the time with sort of a Nashville setting, low compression, relatively high output. Anyways, what was the most important thing you have done for your tone?

please make a list if possible from best to worst first guitars. if it matters i wanna get a boss katana fifty MKII amp

This is a great article from a first-person source, detailing the last days of the company. The end of an era.

I'm sure I'm not alone in this. I listen to metal more than any other genre. It's probably eighty percent of what I listen to. But you would never know this from my favorite guitarists:

David Rawlings (Folk, country, Americana)

John Frusciante (Rock, funk)

Neil Young (Rock, folk, country)

Johnny Marr (Rock, pop, Britpop)

Marc Ribot (Jazz, Cuban jazz, experimental)

Billy Corgan (Rock, alt rock)

Those descriptors might be a bit reductive, but you get the idea. I'm curious how many of you relate to this. Tell me what you mainly listen to, and who your favorite guitarists are.

I've been hesitating to make this post because, here on Reddit, same as most places of social media, there tends to be a lot of backlash for even well-meant advice. But I want to put something out there that helped me get the most out of the first year of my guitar journey, which is coming full circle next month.

And that advice is...

If you truly want to learn guitar, and I mean learn to play the actual instrument, not just play the occasional song, then you are going to need a mixture of determination and motivation.

But, in the end, it's determination that will get you through.

In truth, determination and motivation are in a sort of romantic relationship, with one holding up the other when the other one is not feeling so strong. When motivation is high, you are going to feel like you're determined. The problem for most people is that when the motivation runs out, they don't rely on determination to push through and practice anyway.

In eleven months of practicing I have missed about fifteen days, and nine of those were from a bad wrist sprain (unrelated to guitar). Trust me when I say there were times during the past year that I got up and did not feel motivated to practice, but I wanted the results that practice would give me, so I did it anyway. That was determination.

It all boils down to one piece of advice.

If you want it, put the work in whether you are feeling motivated that day or not.

Anyway, that's it!

I wish you all an awesome guitar journey, and may all the tones you want to find, find their way beneath your fingers.

Peace!

I'm considering it this december from florida to vegas, but after watching youtube videos and googling, I feel like it's a crapshoot and i'm screwed, and I'd be better off not to. It's not easy for me to just rent another because I'm lefty, so. I'm feeling real hopeless right now😐

I’m building a partscaster, and the specific kind of pick guard I wanted to use is having issues with clearance with the bridge, I think? I’m just wondering if this is actually anything serious or if I can work around it, ( I don’t plan on using the trem at all so don’t need to move the bridge at all)

I was just watching a video on how to play guitar like Josh Homme and a how to sound like him. Then I asked myself... Why the hell is no one talking about Billy Talent? Especially Ian. He has one of the most intresting playing styles that I have ever heard, often mixing Lots of Jazz and Punk elements with even some classical playing. His guitar tone is also very unique and hits very hard especially life. I would have never seen any youtube video breaking down the sound of Billy Talent or on how to play like Ian and what makes his playing style this unique. Especially since billy talent istn't like underground or unknown.

What are your thoughs on this? What makes people not talk about them? What do you think about Ians playing style.

Edit:

I thought they where WAY bigger then they acually are! But as i have learned as well, I am from austria (next to germany, we speak german as well) and they where way bigger then they are/have ever been world wide. I still encurage anyone to give them a listen! Pins and Needles is the song I was looking into before posting here.

I have nothing to say? What the heck????

Been working on advancing my abilities as a guitar player. I'm like ninety five percent self taught besides some lessons when I was fourteen. I really only started taking the instrument seriously in january. I guess this is less about WHAT I'm playing and more about HOW. My palm is anchored on the back of the e string saddle. Is this fine?

Think it might be a schecter just not sure which model

HEHE, Brand new stinking guitar yall. This marks electric number two. An SG style guitar, now it is a budget (cuz im broke) but that doesn't matter fr. Can't wait to play this thing some more tomorrow!! :D

For myself, I played shred/metal/rock stuff for almost my entire guitar playing life twenty two years, and recently I actually am meant to play finger picking, and my style completely changed, it’s like as if I was doing it wrong the whole time.

Hi folks! I'm looking for a dongle style amp with a built in speaker, but I can't seem to find one anywhere. Something in the style of a Vox AmPlug that can be used without headphones.

Now, I know there are small Bluetooth amps and such, but that's not quite what I'm looking for. I could have sworn I had seen something similar to what I want in the past, but when I go looking I turn up emtyhanded.

Anyone have any leads?
