Hey guyss, I am so happy. Yesterday I got an audition for Prambanan Jazz, it's a quite big event here. The preparation time is short, so I played the comfiest song for me, which is Hail to The King. I've played this hundreds times, but the real challenge is the strap. LOL, I'm so weak.
I use my lightest guitar, my Axion Ibanez (thanks @Ed Seith for the guitar recommendation), but still heavy but thankfully save until the song ended. LOL
Next month I'll be on the next round and performing on the event. I'll be performing For The Love of God on my Reaper. Wish me luck and stronger.

Part 3. I couldn't find the original threat. I don't know who originally created it but let this tradition continue?

So, it got me thinking, I want to do college and get a major in like web design, or possibly animation, taking animation in high school was pretty fun, I was thinking about making another video just for the fun of it and all, but I want to start a YOUUUU TUBBEE channel and like post my stop motions on there…but like I haven’t made a YouTube channel yet because I can’t upload anything yet and I want to get better supplies for my stop motion stuff. Other than guitar stop motion seems to be my other hobby, and baby talking to chickens. Other than that I would ask if y’all would subscribe if and when I do get it set up might be a couple of months till then.

Hey everyone! Just signed up recently after I learned about this site/school, of course I'm a huge Synyster fan, and I can't tell you how grateful I am that something like this exists! I tried self-teaching acoustic a while ago and it didn't go well, but my passion for learning and wanting to make music has never gone away. I'm a CVICU RN, as well as a freelance artist/illustrator. I'm always looking for new creative outlets since the ICU is a tough place and sometimes I need something more to focus my energy on. I'm a total beginner (I can restart your heart if it stops, but I can't play guitar yet to save my own life) so I would appreciate any advice/feedback as I go. I'm managing my expectations, so at this point if I can end up playing a really metal "Mary had a Little Lamb" I'll be happy. I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you!

Hello I'd like to start the discussion about accurate interactive tabs for many Avenged Sevenfold songs. As many of you know alot of these songs are very technical, not having a proper tab only adds to the stress of learning a song.
Interactive/Pro tabs also relive some of the stress of learning songs I think I would be a great feature.

So I am going to buy a new guitar, and I want to know if anyone has any recommendations, I need it to be at least under $400. I found this one but I am not sure on it https://www.glarrymusic.com/glarry-...d-hh-pickup-tiger-stripe-black-blue-p332.html

What is your guy's preferred guitar of choice? For me it's this kiesel Dc600 I got a couple years ago. Love it and I've yet to play another guitar that plays as well as it does tbh.

For Context this image was taken from the studio session on the making of “Brompton Cocktail


When searching via image on Google there are far too many options for me to single one out to be for sure. I know it isn’t an Ibanez headstock so that rules that out. A result I found was 2003 Fender Showmaster Custom Shop however I can neither confirm or deny this. If anyone else can figure out please let me know

Everyone wish a happy birthday to the legend himself and one of the great founders of this awesome community, Synyster Gates! Thank you for everything, we love you!!

Howdy,

Is there software that can record from guitar and convert it to tab ?

I can't even think of what to google for with respect to this.

cheers !

Alon, 22, guitar player of 8 years.

Will be here for a couple weeks and was looking for similar minded players (Avenged Sevenfold, Killswitch Engage, Bullet For My Valentine, Trivium, etc)

Will be glad to chat!

So recently ive been looking at how my arm is for my fretting hand and its very hard to explain but I don’t think in the right posture or position of my arm I know it takes a lot of time to get it used to but like when I stand up to play I can’t get my fingers to hit the right strings without hitting another string It’s bugging me because I’m learning a song and I struggle to get my fingers spread enough from the first fret to the third and then the fifth fret and then I look at my thumb and I end up pressing against the back of the fret board. ‍
There is more but like it irrelevant. Help meeeeeeee how do you guys play and stuff, I mean I don’t want to end up being in a bad habit way

Hi, I know it's been a while I didn't come here, I got a lot of stuffs in life but I am back with a new fan art of Synyster Gates in non pixel art chibi version

Happy birthday to one of the best and my favourite guitarist Synyster Gates, thank you so much for creating this school. I had amazing moments with this community and this amazing school. Thank you for being an awesome person

I hope you enjoy the draw

In this lesson we continue with Sweep Picking exercises over chord changes.

a little over a couple months ago, I was assigned to learn Bat Country for my band’s School of Rock (from tustin area D). i had heard of A7X but being a little immmature in my musical style and inspiration, i never listened to them at all. for four years i thought A7X was one of those overrated bands that was actually fine. i think I internally fainted after i heard the solo for the first time, and i instantly fell in love with the band. i grinded two hours of practice every day, just to get the solo perfect (the first week the band couldn’t get past the breakdown section), and then the final performance came. i wasn’t sure I was gonna have as much fun as I was going to have, as I had practiced the night before until 1 in the morning, until my hands were red. but alas, all things came to a close, now @Syn Gates is one of the reasons I play guitar in the first place, happy fuckin birthday DD

Hey everyone, so I started playing guitar in 2010 when I was 10 but didn't start taking it seriously until 2019, started actually practicing different techniques and improving all around. Got to the point where I was miles better than I used to be. Could actually play some very hard stuff pretty well. Even got the scream solo down at one point and even most of paradigm.

However, I made a fatal mistake. One day I decide to start learning a piece of In the Name of God by Dream Theater. Stopped practicing my usual routine and pretty much just focused on that. Found that I wasn't getting better and eventually noticed that when I tried playing old stuff I was very proficient at I couldn't. It was as if all the years of practice never happened. To make it worse my fretting hand felt very off and I was actually worse than before I had even started practicing. My hand felt as if something was wrong with it

But my theory is I practiced the DT song with bad habits for so long that it messed up my fretting hand.

It was pretty devastating and at some points I even felt like just giving up and not even trying to get good again. I tried seeking advice from some pretty good guitarists but unfortunately none could really help.Its hard to describe just how bad it feels to go from being able to play a lot of syns stuff to barely being able to play the simplest stuff but it's something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

At this point I've gotten back to my routine and am playing everything at like around 30 bpm (I was able to play most stuff at around 220 bpm before)

Hopefully I'll be able to get my skill back but it'll take awhile tbh , probably a couple years it feels like.

Whole point of me posting this is to advise anyone out there with a routine to keep at it. And most definitely make sure you're playing with proper technique! Would hate for what happened to me to happen to anyone else :/

I have recently stumbled upon some footage of a band of superheroes -_-

Greetings Synners.

I have this AMP and a guiter. esp guitar (EMG pickups) I am not here to flex. I am only here to ask a question. What would be an appropriate tone to use if I were to replicate the Avenged sound of well, you know who. If there are any suggestions please let me know in the comments section down below. This setup is all I have at the moment. I recommend telling me the settings using the template below

template:

Gain: 1-10
High: 1-10
Mid: 1-10
Low: 1-10

I look forward to hearing some of your responses that could potentially help me create this Avenged tone.

I made a preset for Syn’s synth guitar on Nobody . It’s for Fractal products like the Axe FX. Read the thread linked below for the preset and more info.

You could totally make this sound in your DAW too, or anything that can do saw synth waves.

as a couple of people have posted about, the tab / sheet music does not follow along with what pap gates or syn are explaining in lessons, and any threads i've found about it have been answered "will be fixed soon", but this has been said since january. Is now july, apologies for beating the dead horse but any ETA on when we can learn again?

Honestly, this song might be a bit above my skill level, but I'm still trying it anyway. I'm having a bit of difficulty working out the chords being played along with figuring out the tuning the song is played in.

The band usually plays in Drop G# (7 string) and this song seems to be on clean guitar + acoustic mix. Are they using jazz voicings for this? Is it a four-note chord? Maybe someone can help shed some light for me.

Yesterday, an Amazon order arrived with my first pedals, a Donner noise gate and the Digitech Drop—a huge thank you to those who chimed in on the thread here, by the way. Had a very fun time trying out the Drop for songs in Drop C# and Drop C, such as playing rhythm to "Hail to the King" without pitch-shifting the recording—so much fun! But what tripped me up was finding notes for some other songs I'm still working on, like one that could be played in Drop D (which I was doing), but is technically in Drop C#.

I'm going to guess I'm going to have to re-learn the fretboard to some extent for each tuning. Any tips, aside from going through the process for learning it the first time in E Standard? I really want to stick to standard notation as much as possible and stay away from simply using tab as a crutch.

Did brooks every play drums for Tenacious D????

Hi everyone! Hope you are all doing great!
Is there any source of raw material of A7X songs (like Almost Easy, etc.), Everything separated into different tracks/files? I would really like to learn mixing and mastering on A7X songs, but I don't want to use tools to separate guitars, vocals, etc. because it would really ruin the sound of everything. Thank you everyone!

Hi Everyone, just wanted to say a huge thank you for all the support on my last post and for helping me to realise that my practicing was all over the place. I have tried to narrow my focus to the things that are my weakest areas and areas which I am most interested in and thats theory.

Besides 1st position of the major scale and the minor pentatonic my theory knowledge was practically non-existent, even down to the notes on each fret. Thats all changing.

I have recently been trying to learn theory in digestible chunks which I think was the biggest issue in my approach to theory.

I have managed to slowly start learning the fretboard and as stupid as it sounds came uo with the idea to use spinners to reel of a note and string to help with recall.

The other thing I started to work on were the major scale shapes. I already knew the first 2 however I have been able to get 5 out of the seven so far and I am currently working on getting more confident recalling any position in any key.

The end goal is to hopefully start doing more improv and composition as I have been more and more interested in jazz and players like Guthrie Govan and Plini. Currently my melodies sound like ass but ss always, one step at a time.
