Hey guys, Synner app is here. It was released yesterday. How many of you have downloaded it? What do you guys like about the app? I love the app.

Hey all,

Speaking from engineering side: we've been pretty heads down focusing on app and SynTV and such hence why I haven't had time to post much and why the last Legends webinar was late. Ill let @Radu-Cristian Perde post more about times and expectatons but from my own voice I wanted it known that there may be some wonkiness in the next couple days. This is including but not limited to:

1. Some bugs here and there are EASILY to be expected
2. Some things might be shown to you that aren't entirely completed yet
3. You could get booted from your account (just login again if that happens as it likely cleared your cookies)
4. You might get a notice or email that could maybe not make sense (if this happens maybe let me know but can ignore)

PLEASE NOTE: Do not worry or stress over seeing these bugs. I know holidays can be stressful and drama prone, but unless its officially posted if you're seeing something you think you shouldn't, simply ask (you can tag me or anyone on the team). This should NOT be seen as a lack of communication intentionally and more a lack of time. We have limited resources and I promise you we're doing the best we can.

The goal next year is (if all goes well) to have plenty of exciting things. Its always a bit bumpy getting there when you're a smaller platform like us, but if we trust in each other I'm certain we will get there soon!

Happy holidays all and here is to some dope stuff coming down the pathway soon!!

This Fall was really great for Metal releases and my Album of the year was definetly one of them. Now I couldn't decide which of those would be the one best Album of this year but I thought I list my top picks and y'all could do the same or give your opinion on the topic.

So here we go:

Spiritbox - Eternal Blue
Ice Nine Kills - Welcome to Horrorwood
Trivium - In the Court of the Dragon
Jinjer - Wallflower
Bullet for my Valentine - self titled
Seether - Si vis Pacem Parabellum
Gojira - Fortitude

If I had to choose an order this would probably be it, although the top 3 are constantly switching. Right now my Top one would be INK. Can't wait to hear your picks!

Hi, I'm Cate. I'm new to this website. A friend (@guitar man) recommended that I listen to A7X, and I discovered that I love their music! I've been playing acoustic guitar for two years (self-taught), and last year I got an electric guitar for my birthday. However, I know nothing about playing electric. I'm here to learn and meet other guitarists.
I'm also an Evanescence fan, as you can see from my pfp.

I posted a video in the media section. I'm just trying to figure out if somebody can help me with the key signature thus far so I can continue writing. Thanks everyone!

I need to brush up on my music theory, anyone have any good book recommendations? Please and thank you!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I hope you all get to enjoy it with friends and family today.

This holiday always is a good time to reflect over the year and really think about the things that matter the most.

I’m thankful for everyone here and glad we have a place to learn, shred, and get to know like minded people.

Feel free to share what you are thankful for!

Hey everyone!
My name is Armando and I'm from El Salvador. I'm starting to play the guitar again and I would like to count with your experience and advise!
And if there is something I could help you with, I'd be more than happy to do it

I saw this on Instagram and wanted to post it in the meme thread but thought this could be a discussion on it's own.
Where do you think music is heading towards to?

I've been playing for 20 months mostly online and I was learning a lick recently and it's making me doubt that I have flying fingers or uncontrolled fretting hand where you fail to keep fingers near the fretboard. I don't know if my fretting technique really is like that or maybe this problem is occurring in this lick only. So I have attached some videos to the thread for you guys to watch and tell me if I really have an uncontrolled fretting hand or maybe it is only happening in that lick. The first 2 videos are of me playing some chromatics and some riffs and licks. The third is where I'm facing the issue of flying fingers especially at higher speeds. I'll include link to the original creator's YouTube video if anyone wants to learn the lick.
Thanks. Youtube video: Login to view embedded media :

For the Evanescence fans...
what is your favorite album so far?

Hey everyone, the Legends-only webinar is coming up this Friday, November 19th at 1pm CT with community leaders and Papa Gates! In this webinar, we’ll talk about some of the new changes coming to the site like streaming and the app, and have time for a Q&A. I'll post the webinar invitation in the private Legends forum on Wednesday and you can also post any questions here (the link will only work if you're a Legend) to be answered in the webinar! See you guys then!

Hey guys,

Just wanted to send out a quick update about new changes coming to the community! We will be making an adjustment to the user upgrade plans soon and this is simply due to the funds required to keep this site in the amazing shape that it's in while also adding on new features like streaming and the app. If you currently have a user upgrade, don't worry! Your cost won't be changing.

We'll also be reorganizing the upgrade plans a bit. The supporter upgrade will be leaving, but if you are currently a supporter, you'll be upgraded to Legend for a year!

And the Legend package will also be changing with items such as the care package and community webinar being moved to Legend+, our new user upgrade plan. This is simply due to the cost of creating and sending out care packages as that is all done by hand. But if you're currently a Legend, you will be moved up to Legend+ for a year as well!

These won't be changes that will be made immediately, but we will let you know as soon as they happen. I really appreciate everyone's understanding with this as it can take quite a bit to keep a community up to date and continue to add functionality that we know you all will love. If you have any questions please let me or another staff members know and we'd be happy to answer!

I have to learn Mr bright side by the killers for an upcoming jamsession and while I was learning it I realized it's a really good song to work on your picking technique and figured I'd share.

Basically, it repeats the same picking pattern throughout while only having to move one finger for the shapes meaning it's a good exercise to work on inside/outside liking, alternate picking and you can also sweep stuff if you please.

If you have some good beginners songs yourselves, feel free to share!

And remember, have fun!

So basically in buried alive in the solo there's this one part that goes like 123 123 123 123 1234 123 123 123 123 1234 and I can't really figure out how to do it, can anyone tell me what I should do?

Hey guys been a long time hope you are all ok? I was really excited about this song. I paid to get some feedback on a site called submithub and it seems like the song is crap loool. Just wanted to run the song by you guys. I hate being deluded my belief that it is good. Anyway here it is

White and Gold is more my style, but i like black and red better.

Recently, we have been forced to take permanent action against a long-time member of the community.

It began with harsh and repeated acts of sexual harassment on this site and many others that ultimately led to another member of the community feeling unsafe and leaving the site.

There were tangible consequences for this individual, but unfortunately, those consequences only led to bitterness and a sustained retaliation against Community Leaders, public outbursts, and attacks on this site and the official Discord, as well as angry attempts to engage Syn and Papa Gates directly.

As a result, we have been forced to terminate their membership from Synner.

For months now, this individual, through private messages and posts elsewhere, has attempted to paint the leadership in draconian ways. We feel it is important to point out that in 4 years, the number of times SGS/Synner leadership has had to take moderating actions is negligible (the times can literally be counted on one hand).

Syn and Papa Gates have created a wonderful, open, and safe community for people of all origins and individualities to learn, grow, and contribute as they like, and it is our GREATEST responsibility to ensure that continues.

We regret that it came to this, but they left us with no other choice. We will NOT identify this person, in public or private, so please do not ask.

In the recent “Town Hall Meeting” we stated that we would be as transparent as we possibly could, and so we knew the community should be made aware of our most recent action, as it is an unprecedented one. We also want to ensure ALL members of this community that we are here for YOU and to keep this community a safe space for all.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share this cool guitar I got a couple months back. We see all kinds of Schecters here, but none like this. This is a Custom Shop USA Made Schecter Stratocaster type guitar. Not sure exactly how old it is, but I believe it's late '90s. Has a beautiful greenish/goldish sparkle finish. The pictures don't do it justice, it's even more beautiful in person. The previous owner liked EVH so he ripped out the tone knobs so be more Eddie like. Maple neck, some kind of Dimarzio pickup in the Bridge and I assume Schecter pickups in the middle and neck. Has a beautiful off white pearloid pickguard. Didn't come with a backplate, so I bought one on Amazon but I might remove it. Wilkinson Bridge, classic style tuners. Plays great and sounds amazing. Very versatile as I can play metal with it and also get beautiful cleans.

Wish I had more info on it, but it's hard since it's a custom. I'm going to have my tech take off the neck and look for any info regarding when it was made.

I realized I had no guitars with single coil pickups, and I never really owned a strat. I was planning to get a Mexican made Fender, but I jumped at the chance when I found this.

So I bought an audio interface to basically get a good guitar tone and for recording covers. It's a Behringer U-Phoria UMC22. I watched some videos on YouTube for reviews and also heard from a friend that owned it, that it's pretty good. When I first set the thing up, I was totally confused because of Asio then I found how to use it. Now here's the problem, anyone who uses audio interfaces knows that you need to plug the headphones in the interface because if you try using it with the pc output you get weird screeching sound with tons of latency. But the interface has a quarter inch port for headphones and the my main headset has a usb jack so I couldn't plug those in so I used a cheap headphone and a 3.5 to quarter inch converter but the sound was pretty bad. I asked some people on forums they said that you need studio monitors for that but I dont have that kinda money. I could although afford some studio headphones that cost around 3000 rupees or 40.38$. Can I get a good tone in studio headphones? If you use audio interface with studio headphones or maybe have experience about all this stuff, please reply. If yes, please try to suggest some headphones that cost around the price range I mentioned.

hi i'm syn.

Hey fam!

I thought it would be cool if we had a thread dedicated to showing off your SYNNER gear! Feel free to drop pics of your latest pick ups, your collections, or your SYNNER gear selfies below!

And if you’re not following us on the gram, we’re @ synnerofficial!

Anyone listen to Back From The Dead by Halestorm Besides @Snow_White ???

Hey everyone! I kinda thought about something cool. The great thing about this community extending is that we can now learn more about each other, other than music stuff! So I'm SUPER curious, what will YOUR SynTV channel be about?

Mine will mostly be about developing great practice routines based on these lessons, as well as some of my motivational talks I use to do! I have some other things I'd like to cover but I have to talk to the team first to make sure it's suitable material. Let me hear your ideas!
