Most of it you just pick up. Can you remember when you learned what a frame rate was? or a texture map? of course not, it just happened one day.
If you find a good forum, it can be a godsend. if there's a guitar forum as helpful as www.talkbass.com , then you're set.
You mean you dont like your threads ruined with unfunny tired rhetoric? How interesting...Quote:

I could just imagine the thought process in your head... "OMFG DIFFUSIONX MADE A THREAD ABOUT LEARNING GUITAR AND HE HATES NINTENDO, TIME FOR SOME PAYBACK LOL! RICH AND JEREMY AND SHIN JOHNPV WILL LOVE ME FOR THIS!". Give me a fucking break. What's next, you go to my Jeff Buckley thread and say "Nintendo hates you listening to Jeff Buckley!" or my college football thread and say "Nintendo hates you watching college football!"?
Go away unless you can come up with some good funny or want to discuss guitar.
Your guitar playing sucks more then Nintendo...
And you tell me this in a thread where I say I am "beginning" and "starting". You are embarrassing.
JMET: I like you man... but the Nintendo comments really aren't very funny. Just cut it out... you're better then this.Quote:

Go there. Not only will you find guitar effects discussion, you can ask about all sorts of music tech stuff.
And about guitar effects pedals: There's no "right" way to hook them up, but there are some major guidelines to stick to. For instance...
You can either put the effects in the effects loop or right in front of the amp. Totally your choice. Change it depending on the song if you like.
Effects "order" is a biggie. Guitar -> distortion -> reverb is pretty common. Guitar -> reverb -> distortion would be avoided unless you wanted some sort of odd special effect. In general, you always want reverb at the very end of the chain unless you are looking for something unnatural. You usually want distortion near the front of the chain, but that is a little more flexible. Guitar -> distortion -> phaser -> reverb is how I'd probably do it, but guitar -> phaser -> distortion -> reverb might be a nice change, and wouldn't be drastically weird.
Bottom line is learn the hard rules (like reverb at the end) and stick to them until you understand all of the "why's" about doing them. Then you can think about breaking them. It's all about just doing it.
edit: And learn gain staging! Google it, read about it, and practice it!
Your right, I should just comment on how bad he sucks at playing the guitar in any thread that mentions music...Quote:
