Are the legato videos working for anyone else? The backing tracks work for me on all. But on Legato I and VI I've tried playing the actual videos and they just load forever and never come up.

Hey there Synners!

I'd like to hear everyone's feedback about "when it's time to move on." I've been researching and on another school I learned "When you start getting bored, it's time to move on." But I'm not necessarily getting BORED, but I'm practicing a really difficult solo that's well beyond my ability. And I'm caught between "moving on" means "quitting" and "moving on" means "it's no longer really fun."

I've been practicing this for almost a month now. And it's one spot that's about 2 measures long. There's a LOT of fast sixlets in the solo (it's not Scream), and I can play about 90% of the solo up to speed but I really want to be able to do this. But it seems like I'll be stuck on this for years and it'll consume a lot of my practice time. Is it time to move on and do something different? Thanks in advance!

Wow, I'm trying to get this up and going again and a lot has changed. Are we not able to write a bio anymore? I remember we had like where we were from, a little bit about us, and how long we have played guitar. I can't figure out how to do that now.

SYNVENGERS, @Ed Seith @Radu-Cristian Perde @Alicia Willis @Jamie London @Millie Imber ASSEMBLE and help me out! (I had to add Jamie in as a Synvenger,lol)

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?

I've been asked to teach my cousin play guitar. It's a one time thing. He has never played before. I figured I could teach him two chord shapes and the pentatonic, but after that I get lost. He probably is going to want to see an example or play a song, my mind will go blanc.

What should I show him as an introduction to guitar? All advice is welcome

Hey there people!
I am looking to make my dream come true and get the Custom-S guitar
The problem is that locally it's out of stock and I can't find a website where I can order the guitar to Israel.
I'm specifically looking for the BLK/SILV design.

Can someone please help me

What is two-way pickslanting? I know a little about it. I know that there's two picking motions the downstroke escape and upstroke. How do I practice this technique and can you change the pickslanting motion in between playing something. Like while alternate picking, you play on one string and the next string is to be played with an upstroke so if you were using downstroke escape motion before, do you change it to upwards escape for the upstroke on the next string?

So recently I have been experiencing diplacusis, or double hearing. The hearing in my right ear is extremely pitched as opposed to my left ear, and it throws sounds off and makes everything sound weird and strange, especially with music, with this music sounds extremely pitched and out of tune. As you can imagine this also throws my guitar playing off as everything sounds off and out of tune, despite my guitar being perfectly in tune and everything sounding in tune to everybody else. I have been dealing with this for about a week or so and it has been driving me crazy. I was just wondering if there were any tips to help while playing, because it has been driving me up the wall this last week. Thank you for any help in advance.

Is it normal to feel uncomfortable while playing a different guitar then usual or is it just me because iv'e been using nothing but my syn custom for a long time but then when i switch to my schecter omen 6 walnut satin it feels completely different and uncomfortable to play does anyone else have this problem or is it just me

so I’ve wanted to make metal covers of pop songs or just add guitar to them and I have no clue how I would come up with guitar parts that match the rhythm/beat of the songs I wanna play. Where do I start and what do I need to do to achieve this?

How in the hell do I control my fingers and keep them near the fretboard??? HOW?!?!? is there some exercise I can do?? I surely got better compared to one year ago, but it's not enough and I can't progress on speed if I don't control that, in both picking and legato. Help

Hi!, where can I find the original tablatures for Nightmare song? I was checking some youtube videos but I think they don't play it the same way as Synyster.
For instance the fast part of the solo looks like Syn use a sweep picking

Hey everybody!

I just picked up my first guitar today and am having a little trouble trying to tune it. I downloaded a few different tuning apps, but I must be doing something wrong because when I try to just tune it in standard the tuners will say I'm playing a different string than I am. For example, when I try tuning the high E string it says I'm playing B. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but any help would be greatly appreciated!

Over the years I have been playing guitar I have become very aware of the problems I have when playing guitar but no matter how hard I try or how many hours I put into watching YouTube videos on the issues nothing seems to get better. It's getting to the point where I dont want to play because its just a constant loop of "wake up, try to play something, fumble around because my technique is horse sh*t and then go to sleep feeling like im making no progress and wasting my time"

I do have a personal guitar teacher which has helped a lot but outside of lessons it can be difficult to maintain progress

The issues I find are:

When I get to the E and A strings when trying to pick lead lines my wrist is practically at a 90 degree angle to my arm and there is a lot of tension in my shoulder as there is no support for my arm as the strings are so close to my body. I have had some success with moving my arm instead of relying on my wrist for all the movement as the natural curvature of the wrist motion is what creates the awkward angles on higher strings.

When I am picking, the strings seem to be immovable, with every stroke it feels as though the pick is having to work unnecessarily hard to push through as apposed to a gliding motion that I see people like syn possess.

Following on from the gliding motion, I find with my picking that the motion of picking in general (because of the reason above) is very jerky. Going across strings foes not feel like a smooth movement, instead every string feels like its disconnected from each other and there are large jumps required to get to each string.

I constantly change picking positions and styles based on what strings I am playing due to discomfort and its difficult to find one that works across all strings

Lastly, I find that my fingers tend to uncurl themselves or move about when playing which is less than Ideal

Does anyone have any tips because it feels as though Im wasting my time trying to learn as I have made as I haven't made any more progress in the 10 years I have been playing than the first 3.

I know that papa gates uploaded lessons on the circle of fifths where syn mentions key signatures, where are the lessons on key signatures and chords in a key. The intermediate lessons cover a variety of theory but I can’t find lessons on key theory. Lastly, I understand building chords lessons covers triads but are there more lessons that go into triad chord theory? Please link the lessons I can’t find them in the school.

Just curious if it feels faster in the last few weeks than previously. Feel free to share any concerns as well!

Hey, I'm looking for recommendations. I hoping to find some hidden gems I really like in the 80s era. I will list some examples.

Cutting Crew - (I Just) Died in your arms, Heart - Alone, Aha - Take on me, Michael Sembello - Maniac, Bryan Adams - Summer of 69, Simple minds - Don't you (forget about me), The Buggles - Video killed the radio star, UB40 - Red red wine, Eric Carmen - Hungry eyes, Billy idol - White wedding, Boy meets girl - Waiting for a star to fall.

Just some examples of songs I like from this era. I do watch a lot of Rick Beato he bashes music nowadays pop music nowadays, But he doesn't seem to analyze any let's say indie, underground artists that make music like these 80s eras. I just really wanted to see if there is an artist like the 80s era out now, today. I really hope there's something out here now.

Does anybody have any tabs or video tutorials on how to play the 8 finger tapping section from the synyster gates masterclass solo.(preferably second part since there’s already a tutorial for the first part on YouTube). It’d be a huge help for me to crack this solo cause there’s no proper tabs nor tutorials of this anywhere on the internet. Login to view embedded media

Heey!
My name is Rob from Holland (Europe).
I found out about this website when it released about 3 years ago.
I've never found the time to really look into it.
Now i do have the time and saw a few good reviews, so thought i might give it a try!

Now i'm stumbling upon a little problem; I don't own a credit card!

Is there an alternative payment method, and can anoyone help me with this?

Thanks

Is anyone on here a big fan of the band Ministry? I have no clue how or when I got it, but I found that I have a guitar pick from Sin Quirin from Ministry that was used when he was playing with his supergroup side band The Great Americon. Anybody want it? I'd prefer not to ship out of the US mostly because I never really shipped internationally, but we'll see. This $10 value (according to eBay) could be yours for FREE.

Video can't open in my web. Helpp

I think I did ok with the guitar but with the voice, I am so unsure. Is it because my chord progression is too complex I thought this would make the song easier to be more catchy and perhaps unique. Perhaps I'm getting too "arrogant" or confident and getting deluded in my ability. The songs demo has just had 2, 1-hour sessions of recording.

It's been a while since I've been on here. Is there anyway when the store gets back up and running if we can purchase a pack of Syn's picks? If this has been discussed before let me know!
