i wish i could play guitar....i spent too much time on guitar hero though....is it possible to play the guitar if you have trained on GH? I am pretty good i once got 89% accuracy on professional level smoke on the water....thats a damn hard song to play....id like your opinion before i go out and buy a real guitar...thanks.
@lumpfish99 whether you were FCing songs all the time or bombed them whenever you picked up your controller, playing GH just isn't going to compare, nor pertain (that much, it might help you get a feel for music) to playing a real guitar. And I'm pretty sure training on GH won't stunt your playing in anyway. If you wanna make music go out and get a guitar. It's a pretty serious commitment if you want to get anywhere though, but if you don't give up it is really, really worth it.
@lumpfish99 Well the truest answer i can give to those questions are: it depends, it depends, and it depends, respectively. Every guitar is an individual, so no two of the same are never exactly alike, but if you spend more than $150 you probably won't go wrong. As for how long it takes to learn, that depends on how intensely you practice. You could make the same amount of progress in one month or one year. Lastly, you don't NEED a paid teacher... (see next post)
@lumpfish99 But you do need something to learn from. There's got to be as many guitar websites littering the web as there are porn ones, so you can look at those (the guitar ones) for some help. I used this one a lot when I started learning, justinguitar . com. Again, all this really depends on your level of commitment. And you should also talk to more than just me about it. Go to a guitar/music store near you and talk to the peeps there, do some online research, etc.
@maafa1619 why would you bash John? The man has incredible talent, and yea he comes off a bit arrogant sometimes, but being a guitar player myself I can truly jam to Johns songs and appreciate the musical "ear" side of it, not just the skill. Why would anyone wanna play a John Mayer song? Such a silly question. Guy has serious serious talent, an is likely one of the best singer/songwriters alive today beside sir Paul McCartney, Elton John, and a select few others. Give credit where credit is du
ill be honest...i clicked on this video cuz of the guitar..i think anyone who says that thats not a nice guitar dont know what there going on about...i think that amount of fretware is totally necasarry, just look at blackie or the nocasters from the fifties....great job man!
@EricClaptonBoys He douched it up in an attempt to make it look vintage. Classic d-bag poser move... which, now that I think about it, answer the question posed in my previous post.
Hammer fills out of 'Cage" shapes, around long before Mayer or Hendrix . There were plenty guys like Curtis Mayfield and Steve Croper doing it in the 50s. BTW that amp sounds amazing, did i read correctly? its a Fender Twin with a 15" speaker?
You sound good, and the lesson was helpful and concise.
I'm here to ask why on earth would you do that to your guitar? You're supposed to earn that over time. You didn't actually play so much that it work through the finish on your fingerboard. You didn't leave a cigarette burning during your vocals and let it get too low. Your paint isn't chipped from years of little accidents over time. I see it, and it feels like you're cheapening what you're doing.
@hllv Eh. i get what you're saying man. but once i sanded down the paint and got it to where it is. you'd be surprised at how much the actual tone of the guitar improved. Plus, i'd say sitting there for a month sanding on it little by little and polishing off parts and finding and buying new old stock hardware and then installing it myself is in many way's "earning" it. it's not like i just bought it like that.
@bbonta I really enjoyed your lesson aswell, your pretty dead on with that thing. I'll be as neutrally honest as possible though, if its for the tone, you could have sanded down the whole thing and made it look woody and nice. honestly its a bit pretentious looking especially when you have to make up an excuse. its easy to tell the difference between "reliced" and just old. one looks like a crazy person's guitar, the other looks like someone really loved its company over many years.
@bbonta im not against reliced guitars, but the thing i don't get is, if the guitars really sound better when the're reliced - without the paint - why the hell would they do put the paint on the guitar anway? it might look nicer in some eyes, but i think the majority would prefer guitars that sound better?
@F8P7Q The paint increases resistance to wear, it also affects how the body resonates ever so slightly, hardly noticeable. The paint on the neck can affect manouverabilty. It's mainly a case of what each guitarist wants and feels comfortable with.
@hllv I would agree that the finish on the fretboard is a bit overboard. There are too many wear spots and that makes it look unrealistic. However, the fretboards now aren't finished with nitro like they were back in the 50's. The odds of that happening to a current fretboard even after 50 years of playing is very slim and I happen to like the look of a worn fretboard.
@hllv The music universe needs less players like you and more players like Bennett bbonta . Would you say that John Mayer didn't "earn it over time"? Because this is exactly what JM did to his own guitar "Black One". He relic'd it himself. Look it up. Im glad to see young players going somewhere and paying attention to tone and personal taste. PERSONAL taste is what differentiates musicians. Stop imposing your own personal rules and codes on others. There are no rules in music. Vibe on!
@7thSYNDICATE Relicing is done for the look, not the sound. It wasn't because specific sections of the paint affect the resonance and sustain of certain frequencies. It wasn't because the finish was causing a slow spot on the neck.
If you actually cared, you'd be focused on original material rather than poorly defending a non-issue. What you look like shouldn't dictate how good you sound, and it's because people like you exist, that we have such generic music on the radio.
nice mate! i have also a self relic'ed fender :D but stratocaster with some custom shop 69 PU i love your new camera and also your dreamy typically JM sound your amp has
