Why isn’t my amp working I have it on full volume but it just does not work through it turns on but there’s just no sound coming out of it

Yo Family!

I just wanted to express my deepest gratitude for everyone that showed up today. I had such an amazing time kicking things off with Papa Gates and our lovely host and dear friend, Radu.

I can’t wait to do more of these. We didn’t even scratch the surface of what we have in store for you all. I’m so excited to share my life’s passion with you, piece by piece, note by note.

I’ve been so fortunate to have an amazing father who’s given me a front row seat to talent and experience. I’ve been living a dream having best friends that push me every single day to be a better songwriter, guitar player, producer, performer, and entrepreneur. And the sincere honor of having a family as devoted to each other as you are, is pure heaven.

Let’s keep the passion going Synners, let’s share with each other, learn from one another, and continue to build Synner into the greatest community in the world.

All my love and gratitude,

SYN


P.S. Papa Gates is comin at ya with his first song from his new blues record I produced. It’s fuckin killer and I can’t wait for you to hear it at his stream in 2 weeks.
LFG

Don't know where to post this or who to ask but has anyone gotten this before? In the middle of them answering my question my stream went offline. I refreshed and got this. It's not working on my app either. It's very frustrating. Not that I'm blaming anyone. I haven't had too much sleep. Guess I'll catch the replay.

Hi guys been a synner for a while but upgraded to a Legend+ gonna be a lot more active hopefully so see you guys around.

Today marks a year since I joined Synner on my old account. When I first joined Synner, I had no idea what I was doing and I had just started playing guitar. I was doing school remote and since the classes were shorter I would spend the rest of my day practicing lessons from here. When summer came around, I had even more time to practiced and eventually started a band with my best friend and its brought us closer than ever. I never knew that within a year I would be capable of growing so much as a musician. It's even been able to bring me and my dad closer since i can teach him things from here than he didnt learn when he started playing. To anyone starting out on this site or has a lack of motivation: hang in there! You may not notice it but the more you practice, the more you grow as a musician, even if you don't see it in the moment

There´s this german vocalist called Stefanie Stuber, you probably heard of her Lamb of God - Ghostwalking cover?
Anyway, she did an amazing job on Nightmare.
So I needed to share:

Hello everyone!

Our dear @Alicia Willis is going through something difficult. As stated in the link below, her mother, Stephanie, has suddenly been diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer. I won't go into more details as I'd rather let her own words tell things how they are but all I want is to show some love and support to Alicia because I believe we all love her so so much and I believe that in time like these it's important to be there.

After all we are the Synner family. We're there for each other and we're all in this together. Please consider donating and/or showing some love!

@Syn Gates tell us how ur so good at playing the Nightmare solo!

but i don't know where should i start at the SGScan anyone help me ? thnx in advance

I've been thinking a lot lately about guitar goals, and what I aim to be able to play in a certain amount of time (SMART targets if you will) and it got me thinking!

What is your "Mount Everest" in guitar playing? Could be a technique, could be a solo, could be a full song, but I'm interested to know what you consider currently an unreachable peak that you would love to climb one day.

For example, if I could ever play Minor Swing by Django Reinhardt (even with all my fingers!!!) then I could happily say I've reached my peak in playing.

Hey everyone!

So I wanted to talk about the recently released ''The Batman'' Soundtrack. First of all, I LOVED the movie! I thoroughly enjoyed it but we can discuss that in a much deeper way later. In the meantime, I wanted to talk about the music which just really hit me and I've been listening to it quite often.

There are 3 tracks in particular that I wanted to talk about and how they connect to the movie/character.
Very specifically, those tracks are the theme for 3 of the main characters, namely: Batman, Catwoman and The Riddle.

I would advise to listen to the music before reading my extended thoughts down below!

Let's start with ''The Batman''

First thing I noticed is of course the main dark piano line which is very reminiscent of the ''imperial march'' from Star Wars. But then it lights up into an orchestral piece that is very beautiful and epic that has a strange sense of hope within it while still keeping the darkness that remains at the heart of the character.

Second is ''Catwoman''

With this one I loved how it starts with a gentle Fancy Piano line that then transforms into a very ''Grand'' there I say orchestral line that reminds me a lot of ''The Godfather'' Theme. The piano line feels like something you would hear in a fancy club while the orchestral piece has a side of tragedy attached to it to my sense.

Lastly is ''The Riddler''

Riddler is the bad guy of the movie of course and the way his character is portrayed is as a creepy serial killer that is very much unhinged. And so it appropriates for this track to start with a very creepy choir before suddenly jumping at you with it's much more epic orchestral piece which just has a sense of horror brought in particularly with the thrills produced by the string section.

Extended Thoughts:

So with all said and done, the real thing that I wanted to talk about is how the each of those musical theme capture the spirit of the character they represent, which is of course a sign that music fulfills it's purpose in this context. Music is a form of storytelling of it's own. Yes it is facilitated by lyrics which then explicitly tell the story in a popular context but when going deeper with instrumentals, the choice of notes, the performances, the orchestration, the images attached to it all come together to tell a story of it's own.

The character of Batman/Bruce Wayne is consumed by anger and sadness due to the trauma of his parents death. Now the way he deals with his trauma, which is dressing like a bat and beating up criminals, isn't what your average therapist would probably advise, it does come from a place of trying to make things better and to make sure no other kid goes through what he went through. And while at the beginning of the movie he might have been still conflicted about the way he should do things, by the end of it he does find the light within to become the symbol he needs to be: the hope Gotham need. And I do feel this in the theme which is why I think it's a really beautiful one that dwells in both the Darkness that is at the heart of the Dark Knight but also at the Light that comes out his intentions.

Now the movie has been out for a while but just in case I will issue a SPOILERS warning. Selina Kyle/Catwoman in this movie is a waitress in the icberg lounge which serves as a club in the upper floor but then becomes a fancy lounge swarmed with the wealthiest and most corrupt of Gotham, one of which is the boss of the Gotham Mob. It is later revealed in the movie that said mob boss is the father of Catwoman who abandoned her and killed her mom when she was a child. I feel like her theme really captures this very well with the ''lounge'' feel to the piano while the orchestration, which as I said reminded me of ''The Godfather'', makes the connection to the mob. Of course, the note and instrument choices is really what brings it home because her theme has a real sense of tragedy to it and a sort of ugly anger which is very much so appropritate for her character.

Lastly, there is The Riddle/Ed Nygma. In the movie, he is a serial killer who operates in the shadows. He stalks his victims and he is very calculated in the way he prepares for the kill. But once he's ready to step out of the shadow to commit the act, he does so in such a brutal and horrific way. I think i've said enough about him. But this is quite literally what happens in the track itself. It all starts very gently yet still creepy but then you get a literal jump scare within the track and once the music goes into full motion, it goes strong and just brings the intensity of the horror to a whole new level which is again, a perfect parallel with his depiction on screen.

All and all, I do believe that Michael Giacchino nailed it through this score and really captured the essence of those characters so of course, I am very hopeful that he will return for the next adventures of The Dark Knight as a composer.

Of course, I loved the movie. And I am a big fan of Batman as a character. Music is always essential in order to bring these stories to life in this way and this one certainly didn't miss the mark which is why it became music that deeply touched me.

Let me know what you all think!

The Canadian trio that has Rush elements, but isn't Rush.
I've always liked this song since I heard it as a child. But revisiting it over the years, just so much pops out to me. It has awesome melodic phrases vocally and instrumentally, vocal harmonies, a driving beat, perfect entonation, stage presence, those tasty licks (chops too). It has an intro and 1st verse that could pass for a power ballad, but the majority of the song is SUPER HEAVY. It's not too short or too long, that perfect 4 minute mark, with a good hook. Triumph has to be one of the most underrated bands of that era. Definitely in the conversation.

I also had no idea that Owen Wilson and/or Johnny Lawrence from Karate Kid had a band, but nice to see they've aged so well since the 70s&80s. Even the bass player I believe we've seen show up in a mugshot, before he went on to star as the tool man in 'Home Improvement'... Ugggghyyaaa

I have a sechter sun valley schreder witch has a push in bar. I lost the screw that tighten the bar. Can someone send me the link to buy another screw

I have a sun valley super schreder and I lost the screw that tighten the whammy bar. What can I do. Can I buy from somewhere that tile of screw?

Hi everyone, just signed up. Obviously I’m a Avenged fan and a Syn fan, which is how I came upon this site. After 41 years of excuses not to learn guitar, I’ve finally decided there’s no better time to learn than now. So excited to begin, and learn/experience what this community has to offer!

thanks!

Hey Everyone! My name is Carlos and I've been playing guitar for about 5 years now.
I joined this program because ive been heavily getting into A7X because of a friend and I think they are awesome!
I also joined because I think Syn is badass and he is a fantastic Musician along with his awesome dad too.
I plan on learning a lot from this program especially in working on my theory and technique so i can be a great lead player for my band.
I cant wait to rock out!

Just introducing myself here. I'm an audio engineer building my own company based out of Northern IL. When I'm not doing that I perform solo metalcore

Love to see this platform being built up. Here to help with any of your audio questions or needs.

I play keyboard sometimes to switch things up, one of the things I like to do and on my guitar as well is piecing together chords or things I think sound nice.

What kind of chords are these and what do you maybe think of the sound?
I already forgot.... but took pictures of 2 of them this time.




is piano classical?

Would the truss bar make the strings lower?

Action is the right term?

Cleaned my guitar, tighten screws and changed the strings yesterday.

I thought maybe this could be changed too.

I may have read it here in the past but I forgot, sorry.

Thanks in advance, have a great day!

It's like 4 or 5 picks
