  • Question
Advanced Sweep Picking

When it comes to sweep picking I am comfortable doing 3 string sweeps at high bpms, but as soon as I start trying to include more strings it seems near impossible. I came to the conclusion that its either lack of practice since I have only been learning sweeps for about 2 weeks now or that once my wrist bends to a certain point it makes it too hard to be able to sweep back down. If anyone has the secret to make it click please let me know, otherwise please share tips to help improve sweeping.

  • Question
Beginner set up?

Hey. I'm new here and I'm sure I am repeating a question asked before but I couldn't find the answer so I'm hoping not to be too annoying.

I'm keen to learn guitar. I have no experience at all. Except from listening to more music than I like to admit. I currently own an acoustic guitar, and I am assuming it's very basic as it cost £250 about 15 years ago. I have had a little play today and I'm not feeling the love.

I think I am just going to buy an electric guitar and set up but I am so overwhelmed. I don't think it matters but just for info I am in the UK.

Would the Syn custom standard Schecter be suitable for someone learning? What else would I need?

I do believe that I may be having a midlife crisis ha ha ha. However I am determined and would appreciate any help. Thank you so much.

  • Question
Advanced Improvisation

Hey guys! First post on here so I hope I'm doing this correctly. So I've been playing guitar for several years, inspired to play lead by THE Synyster Gates himself. I am entirely self taught, all by ear, and mostly deal with improvisational playing through church and other similar gigs.

The problem is, I want to apply a lot of the cool stuff I've learned from Syn over the years (such as some diminished stuff, some cool shred patterns, interesting note choices, etc.). The problem is, all of the music I'm playing is simple chord progressions (1,4,5,6 type stuff). I can shred all through the major and minor scales, and I understand enough about modes to apply them sparingly, but I've gotten so bored with my note choices. I would love to implement more diminished/dominant jazzier stuff, and I have tried Youtube and other sources, but I can't find anything that applies this interesting playing to the boring chord progressions that I am stuck playing. Nothing I am playing over has any dominant 7's or diminshed flat 5's and what not, making it seemingly impossible to mix what I've learned from Syn with the type of music I am playing multiple times a week.

Sorry for the essay, but I'm hoping that you guys can help me where nothing else has.

  • Question
Changing tuning

Yo guys, I had my synyster custom s set up for drop D quite a time, and I want to change to drop C#.
I tried when I've change stings but the floyed rose has changed its position so I've revert back to drop D.
Does it's because the intonation the Floyd rose have(and then I could tune to standard D# tuning), ot do I have to set up it?
Thanks for the help

Hey guys! Looking for recommendations for a guitar

Hey guys,

I'm Sergey, 30 years old from Vancouver, BC, Canada. I learned guitar as a teen playing from tabs. Played acoustic and electric on an epiphone les paul(didn't like the form factor that much). Into 70-90s rock like GnR, Metallica, Pink Floyd, Queen, AC/DC, RAtM, Zeppelin. Obviously A7X, and also Disturbed.
I've decided to go back to the basics and re-learn the guitar and as a huge A7X fan found this school from one of Syn's interviews and decided to enroll. Currently, I own a spanish and acoustic guitars, but want to get into the electric guitar again. My budget is around 3k CAD(around 2.2k USD) and I need all the equipment pretty much: electric guitar, amp, anything else that you think I should get. Not into les pauls anymore :) The budget is flexible if you think I should add more and it's totally worth it.

Hello everyone!

Hello everyone! My name is Aedan Norris and I am excited to join the Synner community! I'm glad to see such a friendly and active community, where people share common interests and passions. My history with the world of synths began several years ago when I happened to come across a video demonstrating the capabilities of synths and electronic music. I was immediately immersed in this amazing sound world and haven't been able to tear myself away from it since. I'm new to synthesizers, but I'm enthusiastic and eager to learn more. I have some skills in music, and I've already started learning the basics of synthesizer programming and creating my own sounds. I look forward to interacting with you, sharing my progress, and receiving valuable advice and guidance from experienced community members. My main interests include experimental sound, analog synthesizers, and creating atmospheric soundscapes. I'm also very curious about new technologies and tools in the synthesizer field, and I'm willing to dive deep into the depths of modern digital synthesizers. I would like to thank you for the warm welcome and the opportunity to be part of this community. I am sure that with your help and support, I will be able to grow in this amazing field and contribute to the Synner community. Thank you so much, and I can't wait to start interacting with you!

Best wishes,
Aedan Norris
