Hey guys! Hope everyone is well. So glad the lessons are back and running Thank you to everyone who worked hard on getting them back up! I've had my guitar for about a year now and I'm not a complete beginner, but I still don't know a whole lot of things, so I'm starting the lessons from the very beginning. Regarding the tuning lesson, I have been using guitar tuna/my amp tuner to help me tune(I dont own a clip tuner just yet). I've been trying to practice how to tune my guitar using the method in the lesson, but I just cant seem to get it. Is there any tips or tricks you guys have to help me master this skill?

Hi,

I’m completely new to the Synner forum. A very good friend of mine has just given me his Synyster Gates guitar. I have never seen a version like this before and am struggling to find anything about it! It is a ‘Syn Custom NT’ and has a tuneomatic bridge, string thru body, a set neck and Seymour Duncan pickups.
Can anyone tell me about it? Apparently only 10 of them ended up in England, hence the ‘5’ on the cavity plate written in red sharpie. Thanks, Red.

After 8 months 5 days and 6 hours of playing guitar, I started a band and we had our first jam session last Thursday. It was a little difficult syncing up but it was pretty cool. I’m gonna call it a band jam, yes it sounds a bit cheesy but has a nice ring to it, maybe, ok I am not calling it band jam, that is gonna get old really fast. Band rehearsal practice jam session or for short, BRPJS. Anyways, Here’s a video unfortunately the phone fell and most of the video is towards the ceiling. Login to view embedded media

Here I am trying to get better at Guitar by a living legend from a little unknown band that I saw at The Attic in New Braunfels, Tx in 2000. Glad to see how far Avenged Sevenfold has come.

hi if there is anyone with the knowladge or experiance on processor repair i need some help. I've been using Pod xt Live on stage and it started lightly at first but now it uncontrollablely switches tones between channels in the middle of a song while edit button is closed. For more clear explanation for example, when i play the rhythm section with clean channel that has gain on 1 and then switch to the distortion channel for solo with gain on 8-9 or whatever doesnt really matter, the gain of the distortion channel suddenly drops down to 1 same level as the clean channel i used right before. Is there anyway i can fix it myself at home there arent really any good lithuers around me and literally not a single one that can repair pedals etc.

Check it - and all the other cool giveaways.

Hi guys i was trying to record guitars for my songs, and i've heard about blending different amps into one guitar track but i don't have a clue how is it done. so if some one can enlight me on this would be great.

PD: I would want to do this with Virtual amps like bias fx 2 or Amplitube since i don't have any real amp with me now.

So I was sitting in class one day and struggling to think of a good rhythm combination. So I thought hey why don’t I try all of them. If one beat has 16 different variations, one measure shouldn’t be that bad right, and boy was I wrong. I calculate everything for one measure and I got 64. Now you probably are thinking, “Well okay it is a bit tough but spend some time with it and you can find something good”. Heh heh, well that is just going down to the eighth subdivision. The amount of combinations of sixteenth subdivisions for one measure is 256! Crazy right? Really says to how infinite music is.

Hi i have a Christmas gig this Saturday I'm going to be playing Christmas metal songs at the independent in sunderland im really nervous its my second gig and it's gonna be so long

As you know, Zacky Vengeance is one of the amazing guitarists of Avenged Sevenfold, so I decided to make a draw for his birthday and post it here !
Happy birthday Zacky Vengeance
You and Synyster Gates are incredibles guitarists

Hi folks,
I’m trying to figure out how to produce the effect Syn is using in the Chorus of the song Angels.

My ears are hearing a high octave effect and volume swells. It may also be some sort of delay or reverb effect where he has the mix set to 100%.

I know he’s a Fractal user, and that’s what I’m working with. I’ve already been trying stuff with a volume block and a pitch block for the octaves. Nothing so far. I’ve tried some different delays as well, but nothing.

Would love some help from the community!

Does anyone know the best strings for soloing and bends
For my other guitar

The lessons of Synner are amazing. Is there a way to print the tabs that I can use for reference.

I can play most of the solo, but am currently struggling (and have been for about 3 or so months now) to do the part right before the duet, the part where it's a fast up then back down on the frets kind of thing, does anyone have any tips, or advice, on how I should go about doing it, or any exercises that could help? Right now I've just been trying to do it slowly then speed it up but I'm not making any progress doing it this way.

I can see the difference between major and minor, but they have too many notes for chordfinders online.

The notes from the 3rd bar are f a c e f g a b c
The notes from the last bar are e g b d e f# g a b

Hey everyone, we've got an update on lessons! We're currently in the process of adding back the videos and many of them should already be viewable. Will continue to add the rest of them and also sync them up with the sheet music so that you can follow along. Really appreciate everyone's patience with this and I'll update when the process is done

Hello everyone. I know it has been a while since I have been online. My daughter was born Sept 18th so it's been a busy couple of months. I do have some good news though. I am going to start playing again in my free time. I ordered some new headphones so I can play quietly lol. Also I have a couple of new guitars as well. The first is an Ibanez gio my girlfriend got me as an early Christmas present. The second should be here on Friday. It's an Omen Elite-7 multiscale. I'm excited for that to arrive. As you can see I clearly have a thing for blue guitars lol

We are unable to view the lessons videos, may we know when will it be fixed? Please fix it soon. We are unable to do the classes since a long time

my high e string keeps going out of tune when i bend it
It just won't stay in tune
Can someone help me

i have a blackstar id:30 tvp amp and i want an 80s style lead tone. eddie van halens lead tone for example. if anybody could help that would be great, thank you guys.

So this has been something on my mind for a long time. Lately I haven’t been able to truly expand my listening habits. I’m worried I’m “listening to the wrong thing” to get to be the best guitarist/musician I can be, so I default to albums I know and love but never find new music. It has led to me being undereducated even if I have a music degree. Has anyone had this? How did you get out of it?

Hey guys! Just signed up today, mainly because I was watching YouTube videos of people playing avenged songs and I remember Syn had a site. So, here we are!

I have been playing off and on (lots of off times lol) for 15 years and I never seem to be able to keep it up all year round.

I used to have a guitar teacher and that helped me with motivation but I never got anywhere close to where I want to be.

I started off wanting to play fast, learn solos and impress people. But I would always get stuck on something I couldn't figure out then give up and try again in a few months. Things like arpeggios, bends, weird chords would be something I would practice but wouldn't keep it up long enough to nail the song.

So basically I am a semi decent shredder but when there is something too technical or cord based, I tend to lose interest or find it too hard. It may not even be fast. Like the bends in bat country were harder for me than the shreddy parts. Seize the day bends too.... like the acoustic part to fade to black pisses me off, yet I was playing the solos easy. I learnt the hard parts, but I suck at some of the easy stuff like barre cords etc.

Anyway. Just joined up to try the courses and relearn some stuff I may have forgotten and take another crack at this guitar stuff. I need to try learn what I should be learning instead of just shredding or making my own solos up.

I run a social media agency and am very busy, so I need to try make time for this stuff.

I don't want to be a rockstar or be in a band. I just want to play songs I love and make some cool songs.

Pleasure to meet you guys!

Had some time to kill this morning, took a stab at recording a cover of Set Me Free. Used the Fractal Axe FXIII with some tones I created and Cakewalk recording software. Any tone / mix tips are appreciated!

Pretty much as the question is asked. I've gotten my E shape barre chord down with no problem on a standard 6 string. But I normally play and practice on my 7 string (tuned to Drop A so I have E standard on the top 6 strings). How do I properly do a barre chord? Do I fret across the 6 and mute the 7th with the tip of my finger, or do I reach my index finger over the 7th and mute it? There aren't a lot of resources out there haha
