Hey schooool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I was wondering if u guys have any tips on how to practice the 1st sweeping part of h.t.t.k?
also im wondering how and why just why syn is so fucking good at guitar and why such a beauty like the H.T.T.K solo is so hard to play.(to me at least)
It sucks cause im studying for A/L and can't practice as much (((

I've been playing guitar for a while, and I've only started with power chords back in March of this year. I've been loving playing along with songs that I like for the past 2 weeks (I've mostly focused on practicing certain techniques without playing, so I'm implementing more playing time now). I've been playing Dammit by blink-182 and I've slowed it down in my DAW to about 40BPM. For some reason, I choke when it comes to palm muting after the intro to the first verse, and I seem to have an issue where there's a noticeable gap in between shifting up from the C power chord to the G power chord, unlike the record. What can I do to make that shift sound more smooth? Should I slow the song down even more than that? What could I be doing better?

i want to buy the hellwin ir but i dont know if it will work for my mooer ge 200

Hi my friends, I have a little problem. The video lessons is not working, it works only on SYNTH version. Do you have the same problem?

Hey! Have y’all seen this?


I am usually not an acoustic guy but this release has me hyped! Beautiful guitar that seems to combine the best of electric and acoustic for a surprisingly “low” price. May get me one soon.

What’s your take on this?
Oh and how has everybody been?

As of right now I don’t have my electric guitars. Is it possible to still learn the syn school with my acoustic guitar?

Good day everyone!

For those of you here who are new to Synner, we sometimes like to underline the work of students here who participate, work hard, are helpful and just in general a pleasure to have here by putting them in the spotlight a little!

This months spotlight student is @Javier Wienarjati!!

While he is still very young, he has a clear passion for guitar that he wants to share as much as possible with everyone around. We also see him being helpful in the forums a lot and so, we just wanted to salute you Javier and say how thankful we are to have you here!

Hey guys, I just got my guitar in about two weeks ago and have been playing around with the sustainiac a ton.

Anyways, the other day using only the neck pickup (the sustainiac) with it being turned off was dead. The pickup was not working, but when the sustaniac was turned on it worked perfectly fine. I figured it was a battery issue grabbed a 9V Duracell and changed it out. The good news is the sustainiac pickup now worked with it being turned off and was getting normal sounds.

The big issue however was now the sustain was not nearly working as well as it used to. Before I could sustain notes infinitely and this one while it can sometimes do it infinitely it's random at best. The note has to be struck extremely hard and even then the note will decrease in volume quite a bit before it reaches the sustain point, this was not happening before as I could slide around anywhere and hold it infinitely. The other issue is the harmonic mode. Unless I turn the harmonic mode on right away, the note doesn't have enough volume to trigger it and it just dies. I've tried two different Duracell 9 Volt batteries and I get the same issue (mind you I have had them for a few years but haven't used em).

Any help or advice on this issue is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Since the videos have been down I've been practicing mostly the first CAGED lessons more and again, it's going good ( maybe could be better ), I was wondering about playing in different Keys.

If I for example take the chords E Major, A Major, D Major in open position and play those shapes barred from the 3rd fret in E standard, would that mean I'm playing in the key of G?
Is that a way of doing it or would I need to translate the chords to the proper shape.

Another question is, if I play the G Major CAGED shape chord and just slide it around, is that playing in the Key of G?

I remember something like to play in a Key I need to find the tonal center, so maybe that answered my questions some.
The tonal center would be like the third or fourth chord in the middle of the key and 7 chords excluding the octave/interval? ( maybe wrong )

Some stuff I was thinking about

Thanks

Hi everyone,I'm Randy. I'm 62 and have picked up and set down the guitar more time's than I can remember. I have never had any lessons just picked up a few things from friends. My first guitar was pulled out of a dumpster and required a little work to make it somewhat playable. The action is still high and gets some buzz when not keyed properly but I have heard it sound pretty good by someone who played a lot. Sorry for the long introduction but happy I found this site.

Does anyone know what kind of tattoos Syn has and what they mean?

Hii! I'm pretty new here and been wanting to learn guitar for a long time. I know that the lessons feature is down and I'm excited for it to be up again. While we wait though, I was wondering if anyone knew if I can find any beginner lessons like these either through an app or another website?

Happy October spooky Synners!
The homie @Radu-Cristian Perde and myself will be live today at 3pm PST/6pm EST on SynTV talking spooky shit! We're going to be giving our thoughts on the new 'Hellraiser" film as well as discussing the paranormal, haunted locations, and the origins of Halloween! Super stoked to hang with y'all!
See ya in just a bit!

Hey kids! A long time ago this school use to be hopping with tutorials and lessons taught from our very own students. The lessons haven't been working for well over 2 weeks, and it's starting to cause some agitation among the students. What I wanna do, is have this section for us to drop our own lessons here. That way, we all can still continue to learn something from each other. So if you have taught something on your youtube channel, or a prior video that you've uploaded, or you wanna drop a fun new lesson below go ahead and go for it!

I'll be uploading my own lesson very soon! Let's keep the learning going

Drop your lesson videos or links down in the comments below! They can be on covers, solos, theory, gear, playing live, techniques, anything!

@Hector Trejo @Christian Schulze and @Chris Johnston you guys are notorious teachers. Do you have anything you can drop below?

Hey Y'all !!

It is officially spooky season !

I wanted to get the creative juices flowing in a non musical way.

I'm sure many of us in school participated in a group story telling project in our Literature classes in which one person wrote a sentence, and the then the next, and so on, to create a full story.

That's what we are doing here, except it is not limited to just one sentence!

Write as much as, or as little, as you feel to keep the story going.

The imagination is limitless. Let's see how far ours can take us.

I'll start below in the comments. Help me complete this story.

Hi, videos do not play for me. I tried on 3 different browser but nothing helps. Is there any fix for it?

Hi, my question is if I want to put a cover of "Unholy Confessions" on my album, how does that work?
Is it not allowed, do I need permission, pay a fee or what?

I was just wondering cause on some albums I've listened to, there's sometimes a cover song from another band.
Thanks!

Hello everyone. Just curious how some of you guys get your tones. Weather it is tones from the 80s hair metal, Blues or your favorite guitar player. Just thought maybe it would be interesting to see the different types of setups.

Hi, I haven't been here in awhile. How long has the video player been down and not working? Is this site abandoned by Syn?

Hi everyone!

Hope that this fall season is treating you well so far! As you know we had to skip last month's PG show but we are back in force so mark your calendar for Tuesday October 25th at 9h PST/12h EST/18h CET!


See y'all very soon!

Hey everyone, it's already that time of year again! I'll be reaching out to all annual legend+ members to collect your address so that we can send you a care package at the end of the year.

Excited to be sending these out again and hope you love them!

Sup SYNNERS!
It's my first time changing strings on my beautiful Syn custom S.
And I wanted to ask if I need to remove this piece while changing the strings (It's called a locking nut?)

Thanks for everyone in advance

I have the app but I can’t use it because it says it’s not available in my region I live in the (us) anyone have any ideas of what I could do

I just bought this brand new jackson js-32 and for some reason whenever i pluck the low E string it keeps buzzing although i'm not plucking it that hard. Keep in mind its brand new so should i contact jackson guitars and have it returned? Or is there an easy solution to that?

Hi, I'm new here. My name is Antto, and I started playing guitar around February of 2021. I was nearly finished with JustinGuitar's beginner course grade 3 (last one), but he's still in the middle of uploading videos for the modules which I don't see being done until around the beginning of next year. However, the more I listen to music that I like, the harder it gets to wait!

I believe I'm proficient enough to progress to the 'intermediate level' of guitar playing, but would I be ready to start the Synner course once it gets back up? I'm sure it's a different learning flow than I'm used to, but is there anyone else in my shoes? Any advice? Thanks in advance!
