I'm GAS'ing pretty bad over the Hagstrom Viking right at the moment. Especially the p90-version. I can't really tell what's the big difference between these to: (Viking IIp Ultralux & Viking P). Does any of you know how they compare tonally/playing-wise? I haven't been able to find a lot of details online.

How basic is that Chord Chemistry-book mentioned a few pages back? From reading reviews it sounds like it's somewhat complicated. I have some idea of what interval are. Is that a good starting-point?

Can any of you recognize this?: e|---------------------|-------------------| b|---------------------|-------------------| g|---------7h9p7-------|----------9b--7----| d|---7--9---------9----|----7--9-------9---| a|---------------------|-------------------| E|---------------------|-------------------| I feel like I've heard it before, but I can't place it. h is hammer-on, p is pull-off and b is bend a full note and release.

baka kaba posted:Sounds a bit like Black Dog in a way? That's a really common little bluesy box riff so it depends how you're playing it really, you could have heard it anywhere The bend is right after the string is picked at the 9th fret. So 9 - bend to 11 and release. It might actually be a garbled version of the riff from Edwyn Collins - A girl like you, come to think of it. Or maybe it's just common enough that it sounds familiar.

Schpyder posted:gently caress Gibson forever. Only way I'd consider owning one is if I won it, and even then, I'd probably just immediately flip it and buy a G&L and a couple Reverends. Yeah. It's not like there's a shortage of good or even great guitars on the market. But you got to have an X-guitar to sound like Slash/Hendrix/Clapton. Guitarist are stupid like that.

ihopeirememberthis posted:I'm getting back into playing guitar again. I have a Yamaha dreadnought style acoustic and I'm hoping to replace it with another acoustic that's everything the dreadnought is not. What I'm looking for is something small, easy to play, light under the fingers. I'll probably be using a pick and have smallish hands so a thin neck might also be good. I guess I'm kind of looking for an electric guitar I can play without an amp. Where do I start looking? Any suggestions? Budget is £200, $325. Maybe a centerblock semi-acoustic? I have a Hagstrom Viking that has a quite skinny neck. It's over your budget though. But there's probably an Epiphone Dot or something like it in your price-range.

Which three scales would you learn first if you were a beginner again? Which are most useful/common? Is it smarter to start by: a) learning scale X in one key, all positions on the fretboard or b) learning scale X in all keys, one position each?

How big of a change in string-gauge can you generally get away with before you need to get your guitar set up again? I'm thinking I want 9s instead of 10s on my electric. It's a Hagstrom Viking, which supposedly has a very stable trussrod. Will there any appreciable difference in string-pull between a 9-42 and a 9-46-set? It's weird because it's one of the first areas where I've noticed I have a preference in my playing. That must mean some kind of progress.

firebad57 posted:There's a piece I am playing on my VMJM in which the composer calls for me to tune my high e string down to a D while playing, and as I am practicing it, I'm noticing little clicks at the nut as the string moves down in pitch. I have to tune it down the whole step pretty quickly (over the course of like four 4/4 bars at ~132). Try lubricating the groove with some graphite from a pencil before you break out the sand paper.

I'm playing with the idea of getting a project-guitar to mess around with pickup configuration and whatnot. I got my heart set on a tele and a 500$ budget (but it can be cheaper). So far I've looked at Squier Affinity, Squier Classic Vibe, some of the cheaper G&L Asat-models. What would you get in that situation?

Heartbroken 2Twice posted:When you say 'pickup configuration' do you mean switching in humbuckers? I've seen some reports that the Classic Vibe Custom has humbucker routing in the neck position, so you'd only need to get a new pickguard instead of routing your body. I plan to do all kinds of messing around with this guitar. Experimenting with the pickup-wiring, maybe routing the neck for a p-90 and playing around with component-values. I have access to a metal-workshop so I might try to machine a brass bridge-plate or a nut. Eventually I'd like to build an electric from (near)-scratch, so this is a learning-project.

Hugoon Chavez posted:This was interesting so I'm quoting it in case you guys missed it: I did part of the free content last night and it's quite good for a free video-course. I haven't unlocked any of the training-exersizes though. The gamification part of it, with unlocking new content and logging your practice-time, is pretty motivating. The first part is free, so you haven't lost any money if you find out you can't stand the guys face or that it's not the right thing for you. There's a promo-video on Rob Chapmans youtube-Channel if you want to know more.

Verizian posted:Mainland Europe try Thomann.de and compare their Harley Benton range to full price. The £30 vintage overdrive pedal competes well with full on Ibanez Tubescreamers and their diy kits are the best around if you have basic woodworking skills. I have one of the Thomann telecasters. The TE-80. It's super well made for a 90-100£ guitar. There's some lemons in the Harley Benton brand though, so it's worth your time to google for some reviews before you buy one. e: but generally the brand is amazing value-for-money.

Drone posted:I thought about just spending the extra 20 Euro and getting another Epiphone LP Special II like the one I used to have back in the States (it's just a tad more expensive than the Thomann TE-80 you mentioned). I really quite liked playing it, it was comfortable and I enjoyed the sound for a lower-priced beginner guitar. Like I said, the TE-80 is very good for the money. Only downside Imho is that it's heavy. Like, Les Paul-heavy. But they have a lot of different guitars (even if you only look at their TE-series). So there's bound to be something you can use.

TopherCStone posted:Actually, Thomann isn't even a bad idea for people in the US looking for something unusual. I remember people were buying a Harley Benton Tele that was a replica of Prince's and the shipping was surprisingly reasonable. Yeah, that's the TE-80. They went a little nuts about it on the telecaster forums for a while.

Not really. I get that he doesn't really think they're horrible. But who is this text for? Are there really people so myopic musically that they don't know Tears for Fears had a guitar player? And if there are it seems to me he's writing for a very narrow audience.

Just off the top of my head.
