Hey Everyone! My name is Carlos and I've been playing guitar for about 5 years now.
I joined this program because ive been heavily getting into A7X because of a friend and I think they are awesome!
I also joined because I think Syn is badass and he is a fantastic Musician along with his awesome dad too.
I plan on learning a lot from this program especially in working on my theory and technique so i can be a great lead player for my band.
I cant wait to rock out!

There´s this german vocalist called Stefanie Stuber, you probably heard of her Lamb of God - Ghostwalking cover?
Anyway, she did an amazing job on Nightmare.
So I needed to share:

How do I know if my hands are in sync while playing fast licks in 3 notes per string style? When i play something like that, it sounds fine to me but others say I'm not in sync which means I can't hear it for some reason. So my question is, how do I differentiate between synchronised and not synchronised playing? And how do I get in sync?

Hey everyone!

So I wanted to talk about the recently released ''The Batman'' Soundtrack. First of all, I LOVED the movie! I thoroughly enjoyed it but we can discuss that in a much deeper way later. In the meantime, I wanted to talk about the music which just really hit me and I've been listening to it quite often.

There are 3 tracks in particular that I wanted to talk about and how they connect to the movie/character.
Very specifically, those tracks are the theme for 3 of the main characters, namely: Batman, Catwoman and The Riddle.

I would advise to listen to the music before reading my extended thoughts down below!

Let's start with ''The Batman''

First thing I noticed is of course the main dark piano line which is very reminiscent of the ''imperial march'' from Star Wars. But then it lights up into an orchestral piece that is very beautiful and epic that has a strange sense of hope within it while still keeping the darkness that remains at the heart of the character.

Second is ''Catwoman''

With this one I loved how it starts with a gentle Fancy Piano line that then transforms into a very ''Grand'' there I say orchestral line that reminds me a lot of ''The Godfather'' Theme. The piano line feels like something you would hear in a fancy club while the orchestral piece has a side of tragedy attached to it to my sense.

Lastly is ''The Riddler''

Riddler is the bad guy of the movie of course and the way his character is portrayed is as a creepy serial killer that is very much unhinged. And so it appropriates for this track to start with a very creepy choir before suddenly jumping at you with it's much more epic orchestral piece which just has a sense of horror brought in particularly with the thrills produced by the string section.

Extended Thoughts:

So with all said and done, the real thing that I wanted to talk about is how the each of those musical theme capture the spirit of the character they represent, which is of course a sign that music fulfills it's purpose in this context. Music is a form of storytelling of it's own. Yes it is facilitated by lyrics which then explicitly tell the story in a popular context but when going deeper with instrumentals, the choice of notes, the performances, the orchestration, the images attached to it all come together to tell a story of it's own.

The character of Batman/Bruce Wayne is consumed by anger and sadness due to the trauma of his parents death. Now the way he deals with his trauma, which is dressing like a bat and beating up criminals, isn't what your average therapist would probably advise, it does come from a place of trying to make things better and to make sure no other kid goes through what he went through. And while at the beginning of the movie he might have been still conflicted about the way he should do things, by the end of it he does find the light within to become the symbol he needs to be: the hope Gotham need. And I do feel this in the theme which is why I think it's a really beautiful one that dwells in both the Darkness that is at the heart of the Dark Knight but also at the Light that comes out his intentions.

Now the movie has been out for a while but just in case I will issue a SPOILERS warning. Selina Kyle/Catwoman in this movie is a waitress in the icberg lounge which serves as a club in the upper floor but then becomes a fancy lounge swarmed with the wealthiest and most corrupt of Gotham, one of which is the boss of the Gotham Mob. It is later revealed in the movie that said mob boss is the father of Catwoman who abandoned her and killed her mom when she was a child. I feel like her theme really captures this very well with the ''lounge'' feel to the piano while the orchestration, which as I said reminded me of ''The Godfather'', makes the connection to the mob. Of course, the note and instrument choices is really what brings it home because her theme has a real sense of tragedy to it and a sort of ugly anger which is very much so appropritate for her character.

Lastly, there is The Riddle/Ed Nygma. In the movie, he is a serial killer who operates in the shadows. He stalks his victims and he is very calculated in the way he prepares for the kill. But once he's ready to step out of the shadow to commit the act, he does so in such a brutal and horrific way. I think i've said enough about him. But this is quite literally what happens in the track itself. It all starts very gently yet still creepy but then you get a literal jump scare within the track and once the music goes into full motion, it goes strong and just brings the intensity of the horror to a whole new level which is again, a perfect parallel with his depiction on screen.

All and all, I do believe that Michael Giacchino nailed it through this score and really captured the essence of those characters so of course, I am very hopeful that he will return for the next adventures of The Dark Knight as a composer.

Of course, I loved the movie. And I am a big fan of Batman as a character. Music is always essential in order to bring these stories to life in this way and this one certainly didn't miss the mark which is why it became music that deeply touched me.

Let me know what you all think!

So yesterday I did the intermediate techniques bending strings but I can't figure out how to bend both strings at the same time does anybody have any advice

Just introducing myself here. I'm an audio engineer building my own company based out of Northern IL. When I'm not doing that I perform solo metalcore

Love to see this platform being built up. Here to help with any of your audio questions or needs.

The Canadian trio that has Rush elements, but isn't Rush.
I've always liked this song since I heard it as a child. But revisiting it over the years, just so much pops out to me. It has awesome melodic phrases vocally and instrumentally, vocal harmonies, a driving beat, perfect entonation, stage presence, those tasty licks (chops too). It has an intro and 1st verse that could pass for a power ballad, but the majority of the song is SUPER HEAVY. It's not too short or too long, that perfect 4 minute mark, with a good hook. Triumph has to be one of the most underrated bands of that era. Definitely in the conversation.

I also had no idea that Owen Wilson and/or Johnny Lawrence from Karate Kid had a band, but nice to see they've aged so well since the 70s&80s. Even the bass player I believe we've seen show up in a mugshot, before he went on to star as the tool man in 'Home Improvement'... Ugggghyyaaa

I have a sun valley super schreder and I lost the screw that tighten the whammy bar. What can I do. Can I buy from somewhere that tile of screw?

Bands like slipknot go down to drop A tuning, and cannibal corpse goes down even further with drop G, but are there any bands that you know of that go even lower than drop G? Be interesting to find out, and I’ll probably check out some of their music!

hey people Been a lurker for a while thought I’d get involved! I’m 19 from England Uk been a guitar player for about 5 years now and I’m a huge sevenfold fan! I’m currently learning paradigm and after I’m done I’ll never wanna hear a metronome ever again!

Again I hope this is the right place!
Does anybody have tabs or just general knowledge of the higher solo? All tabs online are transcribed poorly and I physically CAN’T learn it by ear there’s so much going on haha, I’m aware it’s based around pentatonics and few sweeps but I can’t figure it out

My cousin is autistic and LOVES rock and metal. He has an encyclopedic memory of rock and metal facts. He has 4 sketch books filled with drawings of bands. Most of which I've never heard of. Anywhos, he drew A7X. I don't think he has the spatial reasoning to understand a left handed guitarist, so Zack is right handed in this drawing. He also drew Hendrix right handed. Hope y'all like it.

I play keyboard sometimes to switch things up, one of the things I like to do and on my guitar as well is piecing together chords or things I think sound nice.

What kind of chords are these and what do you maybe think of the sound?
I already forgot.... but took pictures of 2 of them this time.




is piano classical?

Hello it's my first time posting a thread.
I'm 8 y.o. I'd like to share some of my first chords when I started to learn playing guitar 2 years ago.

My mom use Baby Chords or simple version of open chords (she read this stuff somewhere) to make easier for my hands.
I used only 1-2 fingers to make the simple version.
Example : Dsus2 for D, Am7 for Am, or third fret of the high E for G.

I used these chords for 2-4 weeks then when I was ready, I started using the "full" version of open chords.

Would the truss bar make the strings lower?

Action is the right term?

Cleaned my guitar, tighten screws and changed the strings yesterday.

I thought maybe this could be changed too.

I may have read it here in the past but I forgot, sorry.

Thanks in advance, have a great day!

It's like 4 or 5 picks

So basically I've joined a band with the local rock school in my area but I wanna create my own band outside of the rock school. does anybody have any advice for creating my own band?
