you don't even know what that's mean, and there's a 100% chance you don't know anything except the pentatonic scale

>Steve Vai literally ride's tim's nuts, he's always sucking Tim's dick on instagram
Well, like it or not these guys are the face of guitar now to the younger generation. I personally can't stand his music (theres something about it that sounds very "artificial" to me) but for better or for worse this is what guitar music has to offer now, I guess its better than guitar as a medium completely dying so theres that

electric guitar is alive and well in every other cultural sphere and acoustic has always done well

you're just a burger

kek, polyphia really shit the bed

Actually it's john mayer, yvette young, ed sheeran, and post malone.

timmy hendrix is a literally who.

is a tube amp worth it if you're just going to play it at low volume? Got a Boss Katana but thinking of using my trumpbux on an Orange Rocker 15 since it can go down to half / one watt. I've pretty much never used a tube amp outside of a few times at guitar stores so I don't have much to compare with.

Tube amps are the best tone for your dollar and they're plug in and go. Most of the best non-meme ones are around $500 used. All you need to do is change a couple of light bulbs once a year.

If you actually want a good live tone out of the katana, you have to use the head with a quality cab, or use the combo's recording output straight to the PA and ignore the speaker, and you have to make extensive use of the boss tone studio software. It's a lot of work to dial something good in and you probably don't have a recording/live sound tech or more experienced guitarist who can tell you what a good tone is if you're seriously so new you'd 1: give the katana the time of day 2: ask about it in this shithole. The only digital shit that's as grab and go as a tube amp is the $2000 powered kemper and you need to grab something and have good tone with minimal bullshit.

>But user, I don't play shows or record anything
Why the fuck do you need any of this nice shit then? Nobody else is going to hear it anyways. Just get a fender frontman 10g and a couple of behringer pedals.

square pegger mockery aside tube amps are shitty practice amps. they sound like shit without a full band. seriously. you love the sound of a tube amp in a band, but a tube amp in the corner of your bedroom sounds like garbage.

anyone have chords for Yes! from BanG poppin' party? Finding chords for weaboo shit is hard.

>seriously so new
I've had the Katana for over a year and I've been playing for half a decade.

All I've ever owned are cheap SS amps - Microcube to Mustang 1 V2 to Katana. I don't like all the knobs to fiddle with, nor having to edit settings on computers.

>is a tube amp worth it if you're just going to play it at low volume?
no, absolutely not

No, nobody tabs your weeb songs. Ever.

>divides playing time between multiple guitars, never bonds with one, always a mediocre player because of it
>has an internet approved rig for every genre and sitatuon, only creates generic and uninspired tones, never gets creative
>doesn't want to be creative anyways, only plays covers
>spends more time shopping for gear and modding guitars than practicing, never learns new things
>thinks they're good enough at guitar, isn't good at guitar at all
>never thinks their rig is good enough, but it was good enough the day they had just one amp and one guitar
>personality and lifestyle is the polar opposite of every great musician
>more likely to give guitar lessons than ever go on a stage
>is so obessed with gear they blog/vlog about it, taking hours out of their day that should have been used for practice

There is a deep-seated need for approval of others in this post.

It's a disapproval of everyone in /gg/

And yet quite thick in /gg/ memes.

you mush have a shitty amp jfc

t. probably owns two guitars like a fucking retarded fat autistic faggot who cant even order his own mcnugs without asking /gg/ for help

>Only a Gretsch is good enough.

Hey Zeus, Christy, it's that great Gretsch sound.

i mean theyre great when theyre running hot but if you can get your hands on a tube amp that has a master volume and possibly more than one channel you can definitely have some great tones at a low volume. also attenuators are a thing but if you arent trying to gig or play with people honestly id go for like a terror or TH30. solid state heads are a different argument they are way cheaper for the most part and dont have the same harmonic responses but if you are into stoner and doom then a ss head with a fuzz pedal is fucking amazing

Ignore this zoomer. If you need more than one channel and one volume knob you suck at guitar. Crank it for that tone and play good music.
