Hello,

I recently bought an electric guitar and an amp. The amp has a 3.5mm audio output which I can plug into my computer and record the audio coming from amp. Do I still need to buy an Audio Interface? Also, which applications are commonly being used by the community? I heard amplitube and logic pro, but I do not know the details.

Thanks!

I’ve hit a roadblock for songs to learn recently. I’ve just finished learning cliffs of Dover and I’ve started another longer project (Glasgow kiss) but i want some more songs to improve my technique. Here are some solos I’ve learnt over the past couple months: Domination - pantera Symphony of destruction- megadeth Lucretia - megadeth Afterlife - avenged sevenfold Shepherd of fire - avenged sevenfold Eruption - van Halen Cliffs of Dover - Eric Johnson My weakest points are probably my economy picking and alternate picking so I’d prefer something that helps with that. Thanks

Hello all,

Recently I started playing acoustic guitar and singing in 2 bands. Loving it so far, but I'm looking for advice on what gear I need to fulfil my needs.

Most of the times we play, I put my guitar and microphone straight into the PA system. Sometimes I use my guitar amp for my guitar when it's a small venue. We don't have a sound guy so we do everything ourselves. Is there a way I could set things up so that I have some control over my mic/guitar without having to physically go to the PA system?

We do alot of different things. Sometimes I'm the main singer, sometimes I sing backing vocals. Sometimes I want alot of reverb, sometimes I just want it pretty dry. With my guitar it's the same: Sometimes I strum chords, other songs I play fingerstyle and want some reverb and more volume. I've experienced with playing my amp through the PA and then adjusting on the amp, but that was far from ideal. Also it doesn't give me options for my vocals.

So my question for the people here with more knowledge and experience: What gear would you use to achieve this if you were me and how would you do it?

I started researching myself but there is so much gear out there, that I am a bit overwhelmed and was hoping to get some general direction here.

Thanks in advance for reading and trying to help.

Hi All,

I've been obsessing over the guitar tone in this track for years. Could anyone offer some suggestions on the best guitar / amp / effects combo to replicate the tone, especially in the solo at 2:09. Guessing it might be a Jaguar through a reverb unit (and tremolo?) into a Fender amp. It sounds Tele-esque but there's some manual tremolo / whammy involved so maybe not...

Please help! Thanks in advance!

Looking for an acoustic guitar for 2-2.5 k and keen to see what you all think?

I am wondering if it is worthwhile to trade in my Headrush Gigboard for a dedicated USB audio interface, e.g. Focusrite Scarlett, to deal with latency issues.

Background

I am a bedroom guitarist with a family. Ideally I would have had a simple set up with just a couple of electric guitars and a valve amp but I simply haven't been able to get an amp quiet and practical enough for my situation. I have a Headrush Gigboard which I hoped would mean that I could play without having to be on a laptop at the same time but unfortunately I'm just finding it frustrating dealing with it. The user interface is nice enough but I just get lost in the MultiFX swamp. I am a software engineer so I am tech-literate but this is an area where I don't want to be doing my day job for my hobby.

Situation

Recently I have been using the Headrush as simply an audio interface to my MacBook and using virtual amps in Garageband and/or from NeuralDSP. This has been working a lot better for me - I can start with a 'simple' amp setup with 'obvious' controls and it is easy to have backing tracks etc if I want. Unfortunately I seem to be experiencing noticeable latency for the output audio - regardless of (onboard) speakers, (wired) headphones etc. It seems ridiculous to be using the Headrush simply as an interface and I am wondering whether I should trade it in for a dedicated USB-C audio interface.

Question

Is it likely that I could significantly reduce latency moving from the Headrush Gigboard to a dedicated/more recent guitar to USB-C audio interface?

Thanks!

Hi! So I’ve managed to save up quite a bit of money to buy an Epiphone Les Paul, my dream guitar. My question is, which model should I get? I’ve been thinking about the classic since it fits my budget range and also has coil splitting, but yesterday I found out about the muse, and it’s 200$ cheaper. I also thought about buying the studio since it’s a but cheaper than the classic. However, the colors offered on the classic are just too good looking. I’ve never thought about buying the standard since it’s kinda expensive and doesn’t have coil splitting. Can you help me decide, give me a few suggestions? I also can’t go anywhere to try them out, my town has only one small instrument shop that sells squiers. Thanks in advance!!

Active humbuckers or some p90's. btw it will be more rock indie

Self taught acoustic guitar player here. Been learning since 7 months and can play a decent amount of songs even with Barre chords (which is an achievement for me). So I wanted to ask how can I learn heartbeat percussion on guitar. It'd be great if my senior guitarists provide me some tips for the same like yt lessons or any other info that I should know.

Also I wanted to ask that my nails doesn't grows that much so can I use guitar finger picks??

Thanks for reading allat. (sorry for any grammatical error)

Regards

Hey all, yesterday i was changing strings and one of the saddles broke, can't find a replacement saddle and thinking about swapping the tremolo with a Gotoh GE1996T, is it a direct replacement or do I need to modify something?
My guitar is a Jackson JS32 dinky

I'm not sure how to bend my fingers properly so that the other notes don't come out muffled. How can I fix this?

Im new with guitars, started a few months ago. What are some things you look at when classifying a guitar? "Yeah thats a Fender _____" or "That is a _____ by Gibson"

I’m currently looking at these two guitars, and I’m wondering which one is the better option, thank you

Some songs I’ve learned are: let it go, landslide, beginning of the bug collector, Mary

I’ve been playing for a few months now and I’m trying to find a song I can learn that will challenge me but not to the point I’ll end up giving up on it midway

I have this thing, I like it, gonna keep it.

Heard you could use it as an expression pedal for something other than whammy.

If so, how is that done. Connect aux data to TRS converter to pedals expression in, or connect the VJ pedal input to other pedal via expression input?

Steve Howe has done some wild playing, especially in the 70s and 80s. My question - what kind of scales and harmonies was he using on the album Relayer; specifically the guitar break in Sound Chaser? It's more than purely atonal, I hear pieces of harmonic minor, diminished scales, Phrygian related stuff, but what else? Any insights? Any related comments are welcome.
