I have a little show in 3 weeks and the band who asked me to play with them has second heartbeat on they're playlist the thing is I have searched some tabs for the solo but they don't seem natural (not like syn plays them) do you guys have the syn tab?

Hello everyone, hope you are all doing well!

I wanted to take some time to put on the spotlight one of our students today and his name is @Ian _Invader !

Ian, we wanted to show deep appreciation for all the help and good spirit you've brought to the forums! You've been with us for a little while now and we are ever so grateful to have you around

If anyone here has engineering experience, I’m wondering if you can answer a question about A7X guitar tracking:

Lots of their music has the rhythm guitars quad tracked, with two guitar tones (a left and a right of each tone). One tone has boosted highs and a lot of fizz, while the other is a standard mid-heavy guitar tone.

Can someone answer why they do it this way? Is it simply an industry standard for this type of music, just a way to make the guitars cut through together, or maybe a unique decision by the band maybe?

I’m trying to understand the overall reasoning behind it. Why not just get the tone from one amp? Lots of band simply double or quad track a single tone.

Thanks for all your responses, folks.

Hey everyone, just a quick update from the merch side of things to announce that we've just dropped some dope new tees for y'all to enjoy!

I don't know if I'm even allow to ask this here,
But guys, has any of u been thru a breakup? Or rejection?
How'd you deal with it?

Hi!, where can I find the original tablatures for Nightmare song? I was checking some youtube videos but I think they don't play it the same way as Synyster.
For instance the fast part of the solo looks like Syn use a sweep picking

I'd love your guys thoughts/opinions on this!

(Apologies in advance for the long rambling story)

So I was talking to a friend the other day about the way we got into our favourite bands, back in the day when music wasn't so easily available in an instant on Streaming apps, and it made me realise just how little I've really connected with any of the new music I've got into lately on Spotify, vs when I had to go out and buy the physical album (with the whole ritual that surrounds listening to it, the callofane picking, artwork book, remembering that track 4 was your favourite etc)

It's like I'll hear an amazing song on Spotify, but I just won't feel any emotional attachment or fascination towards the song or band because I feel like it's this digital, rented, experience, and the lack of limitation to what I can listen to leads me to be less appreciative of what's there because theres an abundance of choice - if that makes sense?

So this got me thinking - I desperately want to get the feeling back I had at 12-13 as a music fan, when I actually had to put effort into consuming music & It was more limited.

My plan is basically to limit myself to a few albums a month but to buy the CD and really soak it all in properly - and to quit my Spotify Subscription.
The question is, which albums should I buy? Also does anyone else feel this way when they stream music?

Apologies for the large essay, thoughts are appreciated!

I’ve been wondering how do you sing in time and rhythm with other instruments. I’m doing in more of a jam session scenario where we are all freestyling not recorded and fully planned out.

I picked up a used sustainiac on Reverb and the sustain is only working on 2 strings and harmony and mic mode are not working on any strings.

tried new batteries, adjusting pick up/driver height, confirmed no obvious loose connections

Anyone have any other ideas?

I know how to play unholy confessions but I just don't think it's right anyone know we're I can go to learn the real deal song

Hi Guys, I made this Back in black cover from AC/DC by remixing a reel from Kriss Drummer.
I was wondering if any of you knows some other "IG musician" like Kriss that makes good quality covers that can be easily remixed.
Do any of you have any experience with this type of collab?

I hope not an octave hehe

i've been recording a few rough demos and would love to hear what they sound like with vocals on them if anyone would like to add to them? Just to note, im not the greatest at mixing so they aren't perfect but they're more than good enough for one of you to add vocals too.

Hello Synners,
My name is Elieve. I'm Javi's mom. I'm borrowing my son, Javi's account here.
First of all, I want to thank you all Synners here who has help my son to be who he is now. You guys are all the best. Thank you so much for all of your kindness.

The second is, I would like to ask my question above, because I haven't found the answers on google. Well, we found an adv on IG for a secondhand black Schecter Synyster Special, that said made in south korea. It's a rare item here, that's why next monday we're planning to check it out on the shop. My Husband and I went on google to learn more about this guitar. I also watched Ed's vid about how to taking care of FR, because we haven't got any FR guitar before. But there's something that bothers my mind. The guitar has a sustainiac on the neck. I googled and all were said Syn Special has SD invader but no sustainiac. I still haven't found any clue of it. That's why I decided to ask this here by myself, because some info will be missed if it was told by an 8yo kid.

Below were some the pics that were given by the shop. Do you think it's legit?I'm sorry, no headstock photo yet. But it was said just like Syn Special description. I will check it out next monday.

Thank you so much for your help.

So I've been in a rut with guitar for the past year or so and I feel a big reason for it is my lack of understanding of music theory.

As a result, I decided I want to attempt to learn more music theory and pick up another instrument. I chose the piano because it has always interested me.

The problem I'm finding right now is I'm struggling to understand sheet music and the basic of how to play the piano. All the resources I found for learning are paid and I find that rather annoying. Anyone have any good resources for beginners to piano? I'm hoping a better understanding of a pianos musical scale, as well as sheet music and music theory, can translate well to playing the guitar.

Plus, almost every guitarist I look up to can play piano and I feel there's a connection there.

Just a quick question, how long do all ya’ll practice? For me it varies on how much time i have! If im having a real busy day i’ll get at least 30 minutes to an hour of exercises in so i make at least a little progress!

Is anyone else's onscreen follow along tabs not working with the lessons?

Hi hi! Idk if any of you guys know who Charlotte Sands is, but I've just finished up another portrait of her (I can share the first one too if you'd like) and I'm super happy with how it came out. Enjoy

When watching a lesson the tabs don’t play along with the video they just stay stuck in the first measure how to I fix this?

I cant find the blood moon hoodie/ t shirt on the website. Are they not for sale anymore? Any idea where i can get them?

So I was messing around in BandLab today with the AI generator and the project was generated in G# Major. I have a notebook full of the notes and chords for scales but I haven't done the # scales yets so i googled it and it came up with this: "G-Sharp major is a theoretical key based on the musical note G#, consisting of the pitches G#, A#, B#, C#, D#, E#, and F" I was taught in class that B# and E# don't exist, so how would they be in G# Major?

Also I found it works best on the top 3 strings of the guitar a lot better than the lower ones. I had to put the puck in a bit of an angle to do it. I took a video of what it sounds like.

Whaddup Synner Fam!

Hope you are all doing good.

Been a while I posted here, but as usual I lurk around here.

I wanted to share some insights I came across over the last couple of months regarding the art of guitar.

My first revelation was: slow down!

In todays world days go by faster because we have a lot of distractions. And comparing ourselves with other players is doing us no favours. Don't let the world distract you from your journey. Every one of us is on their own journey, and it's gonna take as long as it needs to take. A lifetime.

Second insight: find your balance and discipline

Practicing......who really wants to do it? Sitting down and mindlessly playing is way more fun!
Well, if we want to grow...we gotta plant the seeds and water it every day, only way plant is gonna grow!
So what can you do?
Put things into persective, why do you play an instrument? Glory and fame? Or rather because music is part of you? If the latter is the case, practice daily not because you want to, but because it is a part of you and you owe it to yourself!

But how do you actually do it?

Know thyself and figure out what works best you!

In my case, making a good environment for practice help a lot! A scented candle and a nice cup of tea did the trick! I also try to sweeten the deal and watch a video whilst warming up to make the process less of a choir. Once the first step is done, im usually ready to go.

Third insight: invest in an interface!

Seriously, best choice I made recently. It has allowed me a lot of flexibility! I can practice without restraints and the feeling of annoying my neighbours, which in the past held me back inmensely! Be it 6 p.m. or 4 a.m (yes more than once I practice during that time) I get my daily practice in!


Anyhow, I hope this helps!

Happy Practicing I wish you all
