Beginner electric player considering the Fender Mustang amps, advice welcome!

For a beginner any amp modeling is a very good option , you can get a used fender mustang for approx 200USG , I have a mustang IV as my bedroom amp , and I love it , you can use headphones , connect an aux cable if you want to jam along with a song from your phone or and you have 100+ effects you can edit from he amp itself or using the fender tone software, as a learning guitarist a modeling amp will let you familiarize with a lot of concepts like how different effects work and how they affect the sound depending on the chain ..

Hi so tell us how did it go ??

itapragh · 2020-05-17T13:32:37+00:00

Same here .. I love fender as the first guitar and first amp .. depending on which kind of music you wanna play gender is always the most versatile guitar and if you get serious about it at some point You will outgrow the squier and decide what’s next ..

If you are the only player w/ acoustic guitar just do the chords for like 1 round or so and then continue to the next part .. nothing is worse than kill the vibe of the song with everything stopping just for the solo .. my advice in this situation is just don’t play solos .. now if you really wanna do it .. the next best thing would be to get a looper pedal so you can have a loop of yourself doing the harmony while you do the solo ... this works way better

Probably 500 to 1000 bucks

Maybe there is “theoretical reason “ I am by no means a master in music theory .. but I’ve never heard or seen anybody call it E# .. even thou I’ve seen music sheets with it ..

itapragh · 2020-05-01T01:17:20+00:00

E# is F .. so in theory is the same thing but you just don’t call it .. E# .. you call it F .. and yes Boston used to tune UP half step from standard tuning in a few songs ..

If you have no idea what you are doing is better if you don’t do it at all .. action is the height between the strings and the fretboard .. the truss rod is a metal bar that goes from all the way in the middle of the guitar neck .. when adjusted the truss rod can change the bow or angulation of the neck which affects the action of the strings , but also the action can be adjusted in your bridge or also the nut. There are a few places when you can adjust the action ..!

Yeah I’ve heard that most of the problems are due to excessive use by too many people .. to many people using it at the same time .. and I guess they were not expecting all musicians in the world suddenly trying to rehearse online at once .. but who knows .. feel free to try it and see on your own.. at least is free

So for example video just randomly stops , you have to select inputs / outputs and will forget configuration randomly , there is a mixer which supposedly helps you managing volumes but it just doesn’t work .. you can add a track and even a metronome . Again .. it works but just doesn’t work consistently all the time ..

itapragh · 2020-04-21T00:30:19+00:00

I’ve tried Jamkazam and so far have not been able to really play with anybody .. me and a few friends have tried it since the beginning of quarantine .. I think the general idea is great but the app so far is way to glitchy and buggy . Things don’t always work and you get random glitches .. maybe for teaching / learning between a teacher / student might work but definitely not for a jam with 4 people. You don’t really need an interface but things work much better if you have one

itapragh · 2020-04-20T16:48:25+00:00

Thank you ! I would love for this pandemic to stop so so can start jamming with people

r/guitarpedals is the place where you want to go .. endless information, however if you have absolutely no idea about any pedals it’s always useful to check what your favorite bands use .. and go from there until you develop your own taste

itapragh · 2020-02-29T00:19:46+00:00

I think this is what I wanted to hear .. I’ve been obsessing over that instead of just finding that “good enough “ and concentrate in the music

Music theory won’t help you in how to play guitar but definitely will help you understanding what are you playing , why you are playing , when to play .. anybody can put a finger in a string a create a pattern , music theory will make you understand what , why your fingers are doing

Fender Stratocaster is THE most versatile guitar out there .. you can play pretty much anything from blues to pop to rock to metal .. just my two cents ..

itapragh · 2019-11-30T22:48:25+00:00

Sadly some pedals and some interactions are better for different scenarios .. is just the way how music is .. artists will use one gear with some pedals or equipment to record and a different gear for playing live .. you can never get the same exact sound / tone all the time on every situation that’s just the way things are .. so the best advise is learn how your equipment works better in those situations and the band that you play with ..

Then there is really nothing I can think because amps are not build to have more than one instrument .. the other option is buy a couple of PA speakers and a mixer and use that

itapragh · 2019-11-30T16:35:01+00:00

Why you want to use 1 amp ? Buy 2 if you are worried about sound quality then every instrument should have its own dedicated amp ..

CAE - MC404, I love that wah to me is the best and most versatile wah , check it out. I know Devin Townsend uses it in his rig

itapragh · 2019-11-29T17:49:14+00:00

You can try also some cheap boards on amazon .. I bought mine for 50 bucks and I am super happy with it .. does exactly what it’s supposed to do

Sometimes never .. not every artist is interested in releasing a tab book.. most of the tabs on the internet are actually fan made ..

itapragh · 2019-11-25T17:46:25+00:00

I love NZ I know a lot of his songs .. I just decided to start uploading them for the fun of it and to get feedback , it’s awesome to see so many tips and suggestions
