Brian May, nice choice.
Surprisingly affordable.
This is my latest purchase.

on me. The truth is that it is a nice guitar and it pleases my eyes too.
my newest guitar also the first guitar that i ever built
>>675799623
Nigga come on this is not even funny
>>675800021
also sorry for potato camera
>>675799931
And I also own this but I'm utter shit at it. How do you even go through an entire song without getting your fingers really tired? Anything with a faster pace than a Lana Del Rey song kills me.
Bought this 5 minutes ago with a "starter set".
About to turn 30 and always regreted never learning to play. Saw Rocksmith on steam sale and went full "impulse" which i basically never do or did all my life.
Well a few hundret bucks aint the world when it all goes the way of the dodo.
>>675799931

>>675800412
That guitar is awful, but you won't regret it. Learning how to play it is great regardless of your age.
And Rocksmith is surprisingly fun although it never liked my guitars or bass for some reason. I could never get the right setting and it misses a lot of chords and notes in game.
Rocksmith 2014 is better built but Rocksmith has a better vanilla tracklist and story mode, which is non existent on RS2014.
Cheapest I could find.
>>675800412
That doesn't look like a BC Rich branded Warlock. The horns seem too long.
Looks rad as hell.
What brand, anon?
Not letting the thread die
>>675801190
Looks to me like a Thomann house brand guitar. Harley Benton or something.
One of my drums sets. The other is a tiny set I use for gigs
>>675800965
Well it got nothing but praise from reviews from GER, ES, GB and skandinavia. Always regarding the price point, of course. What exactly makes it aweful?
From my POV i couldnt do much better. If i enjoy it long term, there is alway the option to spend a few grand.
I got RS2014, as long as the mechanics make sense and you get some sense of accomplishment, it´ll do.
My fingers were never particularly dumb (games, women, pen spinning), so, wish me luck :)
>>675801395
yeah, they made a look a like from what the fore-poster mentioned :)
>>675800021
You work for Crimson?
>>675801773
no, but i did a 2 week course with them
>>675801395
Yea that's it. Looks neat, may invest in one in the future.
For the moment though I'll just keep enjoying my regular Warlock.
>>675796909
I also have a standard acoustic but lent it to a friend
all of my shit is spread out. its maybe ten guitars.
>>675796909
I have this exact bass actually!
Except that I defretted mine and use it as a fretless.
The tone is quite nice, but the body is kind of ass honestly.
>>675801525
How long you been playing?
Also: what style?
>>675801529
Looks awful to me, but that's just it. Also not too comfortable to sit and play. But whatever, I'm on the side of thinking that you must like how your instrument looks specially if you are starting as it will encourage to play more.
RS2014 is a little lacking in the rewarding department. Although you can fully customize the way you learn a song and the session mode is great, it lacks of s proper career mode as RS had.
ESP LTD M1000 deluxe + ESP KH-2
>>675799623
what model is that? Beautiful piece
>>675803192
>having 2 emg equipped guitars
why?
>>675800412
Rocksmith is awesome, although It would be too hard for absolute beginners.
Do some online tutorials first and practice a lot before you start Rocksmith.
A show guitar for a beginner is also the worst possible choice. They are ment to be played while standing.
>>675803123
If it´s just the looks, thats fine with me, held my brothers bass with the same layout mostly lots of times and never had too much comfy-issues.
From RS2014 i mostly expect solid instructions and a realistic learning curve.
Any tipps where to start at all? Or things that are easy to miss and screw you in the long run?
>>675803123
It's just as comfortable to play as a strat style guitar, thanks to the contour in the middle of the body.
>>675803555
Yeah i thought as much. Any good sources for tutorials etc?
>>675803523
Not him, but my guess?
Different tunings.
>>675801102
Leared to play on the exact same guitar.
It is such a piece of shit.
Couldn't believe the difference when I got my Yamaha 120H. Pic related

>>675796909
Goin for that Arctic monkeys sound?
>>675803892
There was a (german) wiki book about starting to play. It tought the basic "camp fire chords" and some theory on scales and harmony (which you should be aware of). Thats basically what I did.
There was a guy on youtube who had some speed excercises which also helped me a lot. Basically you play to a click and make it through each fret of the guitar up and down the fretboard while alternate picking. Doing this every day for like 3 weeks will make you very fast.
You can try to play actual scales like this when you progressed.
>>675803965

>>675804744
I didn´t take a look yet (as this was a stupid on the stop decision), but there must be a whole lot of youtube channels with such lessons, just because the demand is that high and everyone wants thats delicious youtube-money :D

>How do you even go through an entire song without getting your fingers really tired?
learn to incorporate your pinky into your playing, and then with that you can learn economy of motion. eventually you'll be playing more but actually moving your fingers less....if that makes any sense.
>>675806422
Nice. They play and sound miles better than Martins in the same price range.

This is right. You'll get lots more dexterity. Also if you're into hard rock or metal you could learn some chevelle. Their bass lines are usually easy and sound pretty badass.

>>675800412
I learned to play in my mid 20s so your never too late. Rock smith is ok but the way they separate the fretboard up into chunks isn't very intuitive imo. I agree with the other guy who said to watch some online tutorials first. Justin Sandercoe on youtube had the absolute best beginners course, seriously learned do much from him (currently doing his blues lead guitar course actually). Give him a look.
>>675814244
Not anon, but some sets really just force those angles on you. mine does. if i had the money, i'd get a new set..... but i don't
>>675818246
>Justin Sandercoe
Much appreciated. In fact i stumpled across his site already and watch his beginners course in anticipation of the shipment of the guitar :D

learn your place in the hierarchy of the band. you are not lead guitar -- nobody but your ego wants to hear your 4 minute prog bass solo.
I have a ton. I work for a company called No Shadows Optics. We do custom led inlays.
More from No Shadows Optics
>>675820183
He's got a point. It doesn't take 7 strings to be original. It's a little meme-ish. Though I have nothing against it, you can have as many strings as you'd like as long as you are getting your desired sound out of it.

Hi anon, sorry I forgot about the bread.
I switched because I've played Bass for 8 or so years now and just wanted to see if I could pick up guitar to give myself more variety.
That Bass is very much beginner. After a few years of practice and learning get yourself a half decent Bass and go from there. Some Bass techniques can take a long time to learn so take your time a be patient!
>>675823623
Are you saying "Les Claypool" as an example, or are you signing this "Les Claypool"
didnt feel like taking the pic myself, instead have a pic of the exact same guitar (color, model etc)
Classy as always
>>675824362
Probably plays well but that fuckboy star is killing the vibe
>>675796909
I have that amp. It sucks ass.
>>675812717
That starcaster though.. have one. Hate the pickup dial location. Especially when palm muting. The one closest to the string tends to slowly get muted.
>>675824131
No probs, still here.
I got quite good for just a year of playing without having lessons and i lately considered buying a new one but i think i should listen to you because it really might be a little too early

>>675826134
The band is not for everyone, but the individual parts are more so worth noting. I personally love primus.
>>675825800
What's the most technical song you can play? If you think you can hold a bassline down well then it's your call.
At the end of the day it's your money and if you want to buy a new Bass then do so. I personally had my first Bass from when I was like 10/11 until I was 15 maybe? That's when I got my Crafter which is the furthest right in the picture.
If you ever went to a primus show you'd know the crowd chants "primus sucks"
I have one of these. Takamine EG440.
It's BEAUTIFUL, it sounds great, but god almighty it plays like shit for some reason. It feels really fucking stiff. Maybe it's too long, or maybe I should switch to extra light strings with it.

Pretty unloved model here but I don't really know why. Plays well, sounds good right out of the box. It's a little high-maintenance since it's the standard edition and not the $1200+ one, so that might have something to do with people not liking it.

Never played a lee Oskar but I know a guy that plays harmonica professionally and he said they're great, he also plays special 20s. I would go with a special 20 personally, the plastic comb is very comfortable to play and it won't cut your mouth up, they sound great too.
>>675832589
already did
>>675829053
Try a couple different keys too, they sell a special 20 set with C, G, and A for around a hundred bucks.
>>675832858
Thanks bro! It's fucking awesome to play.
>>675829896
Because they're overpriced, you can get an american standard, for about the same price second hand, that will play, sound and HOLD IT'S VALUE much better.
The only difference between the Hendrix strat and a normal strat tonally is in the bridge pickup (which is angled differently). You can buy a replacement picguard, like pick related, off warmoth for like $50 including shipping to get the same effect.

>Your bass actually has a neck
Fuckin' Pleb. I've been playing bass 17 hours a day, using only my teeth, and plugged into a toaster oven for 32 years on pic related. You don't know the hell I've been through to make my art, I Live in Iran where music is illegal, so I can only play shows in underground mob owned whorehouses once every eight months. Once I refused to play, so they cut my left arm off and lit my dick on fire and left me to die in the mountains. But you never hear me complaining.

I agree. I spent my first two years playing bass on an old Columbus jazz bass. One of the pickups was fucked. Using only my bros guitar amp when he was out. Hard times, Il never forget.
heres some of my stuff

I think op has a pretty good setup. Although I'm not a fan ibanez basses.

That brings up the interesting question as to whether horseradish is also an instrument?

How do you find yourself on the ES-355 ?
I'm about to change my guitar soon, and i'm gonna try a lot of instruments before buying the one i find myself better, and i was about to try it soon.

that is the GSR 200 isn't it?
>>675812709
nice

What I would do would be get a decent fuzz pedal. I own a big muff. Love it and so much fun. And get rid of that ibanez. But that's just my preference. Only because I had a ibanez agb200 neck snap on me... not gonna lie it was totally my fault. I do miss it.

I always wanted to play drums but you have to be rich or you have to have rich parents, you can't play drums in a fucking flat..

>I have a ton. I work for a company called No Shadows Optics. We do custom led inlays.
Do you have to tilt the guitar up to activate the star power?

To play Drums you have to have cool parents. If I had kids I wouldn't want them making a load of racket on drums.
