I guess manufacturing methods have come a long way since the last time I was in the market for a beginner guitar. And now of course I want a cheap Tele.

Buy a Boss Katana 100, it models basically every pedal Boss makes. Just run a cable out of the FX send into the front of your actual amplifier.

Wound third gang what up! Just finished putting a set of tens on my strat as well. It's certainly made my chord changes noisier, but can’t really tell a difference quite yet.

If you get the Katana Mini, make sure to buy a power supply or a whole bunch of batteries. It doesn't come with either.

The THR5 is about $100 cheaper than the 10, and only things you lose are the three-band eq and memory slots.

You got old. Time to buy a strat, sorry. Edit: The actual answer is that a bunch of veins and nerves go around the elbow exactly where the guitar is digging in. Try rolling your shoulders back. Siivola fucked around with this message at 08:37 on Jan 30, 2019 |

Try swapping the pots with each other before buying new ones. That way you'll know which kind of taper you prefer for your volume.

If you can, try turning down the boost in the pedal and turning yourself up at the mixing desk.

I've got GAS for an SD-1 because it's reasonably priced and a store nearby sells them. Literally no other reason. I can't even play the drat guitar yet.

If you dig around, the TPS boys have done videos on sanely-priced wet-dry rigs and simple stereo rigs as well. Dan rigs pedalboards for a living so they tend to get down to the weeds on topics like this.

If it sounds bad, fiddle with the placement. Try pointing it at the 12th fret instead of the soundhole (or vice versa) and play with the distance.

Gnumonic posted:I think what's loving with me is that I can't figure out what the "strong" parts of the beat are on a 5-tuplet. If that makes sense? But I'll try these and see if they help. Edit: If your metronome is clicking at 4/4 you're basically playing a 5/4 polyrhythm, which is pretty tricky. Try 2/4 or 1/4. Siivola fucked around with this message at 10:03 on Apr 21, 2019 |

Traditionally, all three pickups on a strat are the same. The tonal differences come from position and pot values.

Elvis, Johnny Cash and the Rolling Stones all have a bunch of songs that are a basic 12-bar blues or something equally straightforward.

That's where the other four pentatonic boxes come in. Remember how the second shape connects to the first? That second shape is still rooted in A, and full of those sweet A minor pentatonic notes, only higher.

former glory posted:I don't quite follow. Is the first shape the major scale and second the minor pent? I can see how they relate to each other in that the A roots are all there in the minor pent, but it has these higher notes all the way along between the octaves.  Any note marked on the charts belongs in the scale. Because they slot neatly into each other, together the five boxes cover all the notes in the pentatonic scale over twelve frets, and then the pattern repeats.

Mm, how first principles would you like to go? If you need a crash course on music theory fundamentals like "what's a scale anyway", I recommend this playlist.

What's your setup and what are you trying to do? Edit: The answer is probably "turn down the gain knob" but hey you never know.
