Music discussion is very lacking here for. Compared to reddit. And yeah I know, ‘just post then’. But when I search for music communities here they’re empty. And it makes sense because no-one is posting. So kind of a catch 22.
now i dont exactly know how all this lemmy stuff works but… to all you musos out there, can you join me and search for music under communities (I’m using summit app) and just at a minimum subscribe to all the ones that you would be interested in(if they were popping off)?
At least that way when one of us posts, the rest of us will actually see it (I suspect).
Anyway. Keep making the world more fun for everyone else.
P.s if your not a musician, but you like golf or something, subscribe to the golf communities even if they’re empty.
I love acoustic and classical guitar. Never could make electric work for me. Maybe had I learned jazz things would be different. Just too hippie
I think finding an electric guitar tone you like is half the battle.
If you’re just playing clean guitar through a clean amp, it’s probably going to be boring for the most part.
Crank the gain up on the amp and/or get a few choice pedals, and you can make it sound like anything you want.
I like fucking around with delays and reverbs sometimes, and just make crazy ambient soundscapes.
For someone that’s keen on classical I would suggest going a very different direction for electric. Low gain, humbucker pickups, neck pickup, flatwound strings, plenty of mids in the mix, and only a gentle amount of reverb for that super-rich soft jazzy tone. A guitar with a bigsby tailpiece is great for applying subtle vibrato to whole chords too, which is not easily achieved on a classical
Lol to telling someone who’s playing acoustic that a clean tone is boring
I said “if.”
And there’s a big difference between electric guitar with clean tone, and an unamplified acoustic.
