It really doesn't like you trying to delete 816 profiles at once. 250 to go, but I keep having to restart cause it freezes up trying to do this many at once.
Not sure if this will work as well for you as it did for me when I was learning. But, my method was basically just to force chords into muscle memory. So, I would just jump between chords while watching TV. Doing basic chord changes like C-> G -> D and run through that until I felt really comfortable. And just change it up as needed. I'd learn songs too, but once the chord fingerings were second nature, everything else got so much easier.Man, seeing this thread makes me want to try learning again for the 10th time. I always get discouraged and lose interest because I can never move past the "beginner" steps to sound anywhere halfway decent. I have this Fender Blacktop Strat I got from the House of Guitars in Rochester, NY just collecting dust in a corner :(
One thing is, do you have time to play? Another is do you like to play, or just like the idea of playing. A third thing could be that you have a great appreciation for guitar and love to look at an instrument that makes you feel good. Pro tip: there are no wrong answers.Man, seeing this thread makes me want to try learning again for the 10th time.

It's fucking gorgeous man, congratzFor a long time now I've wanted to build a guitar as a fun project. I'd been eyeing up some of those cheaper all inclusive guitar kits on ebay and other sites but after reading reviews of cheap electronics, poor fit and finish, and questionable hardware, I decided to source the parts myself and build something that could actually be a quality playable instrument.
Parts in total cost just under $800 and consist of:
Body - Rosser Guitars Tele/Strat hybrid in Ash
Neck - Warmoth Strat neck, Roasted Maple with Jumbo stainless frets
Bridge - LR Baggs Vintage Tremolo with Piezo saddles + Ctrl X preamp
Pickups - Dimarzio Illuminators
Tuners - Fender Locking tuners
Finish - Wudtone Emedald Isles with gloss clear

Question.
So about a year ago I bought an electric guitar. Right after I bought life got annoying and I didn't have time to even touch it.
I finally have time to actually practice, however, I got a Bass for Christmas, and I personally like Bass a lot more.
Should I focus all my time on the Bass, or can I get away with 75% Bass 25% learning guitar?
I don't want to overwhelm myself, but I do kinda want to learn both.

Anyone here ever try out a hybrid string set? I have a set coming tomorrow that is 9's on the high end, and normal 10's on the low. I have always been terrible at bending, so wanted to give them a try.
Also have some feeler gauges coming. Finally going to learn how to setup my own guitar. With freezing winters and scorching summers here in central Illinois, I figure it is time I learn to adjust this shit on my own. Hopefully I don't break anything! Been watching a ton of youtube videos to figure it all out.
Thanks!Those are both killer fucking guitars, but are going to be so massively different that there is no telling at all which you would prefer. Go to a shop and try and find any higher end tele and see what you think of it. The custom 24s are PRS's most popular guitar, so you should be able to find one with a little searching.
I know I'd be buying used if I were to buy that PRS. New, you can nearly get three of those teles for the cost of that one Custom.
Anyone? :(I'm having a problem with my guitar
One of the pickups is giving me some weird noises that sounds like a persistent kicking sound (don't really know how to describe it) and some static? It stops if I turn off the tone/volume on the pickup (it's the one that's controlled from the top knobs if I'm looking down at the guitar while holding it, not sure which one of the 2 pick is it)
You can hear it very clearly in overdrive but even without it if I set the volume and gain on the amp to max you can still hear
Does that sound familiar to anyone? Can I fix it on my own or do I need to get it to a store?
You could maybe try some contact cleaner on the solder joints but if it was me I'd just take it to a tech.
No idea what "a persistant kicking sound" is. Is that, like, a thumping or popping sound? Maybe stick a recording of it on YouTube or something and we'll have a better idea.I'm having a problem with my guitar

Could be that you receive some sort of transmission signal. In my old rehearsal place I used to get FM Radio occasionally :D
you'll find a lot of the stuff you learn on one will move to the other really well, they are in essence the same instrument in concept.Question.

I didn't know this was possible, that's amazing.In my old rehearsal place I used to get FM Radio occasionally :D
Wouldn't it be your pickups? Seems like something a proper sized capacitor should be able to fix.My wah, fuzz, and boost pedals pick up a local rock station. Tried new cables to no avail.

Gotcha. Well i am no expert but it does seem like a shunt cap of the right size would be able to filter unwanted high frequency signals like AM/FM radio, which would be in the MHz range. Also maybe a ferrite bead inline with the power supplies? Does it happen with batteries?I've troubleshooted by trying different cables, amps, and guitars and it's just a few of my pedals that do it. I read that it could be an electrical grounding issue with the house. I live very close to a broadcast tower though.
These guys sound incredible together. That was a great tune. No idea about the other stuff sorry.He says his really good friend, Pat Kelley, was given this charvel by Charvel themselves...but he never really vibed with it. (this is Pat Kelley by the way..he used to play with George Benson (https://youtu.be/2b4KSU2jyx0 and is a monster shredder)
