I just can't seem to make my barring finger cover everything without lifting the rest of my hand, or muting. Particularly the A chord. G is a problem, though not as bad. C, E, and D just need time. How can I fix my barring? A side note- I have 20 frets on a 25.5 inch scale, so my frets are slightly larger. Could this be making a difference? I'm upgrading soon and it should be 22 or 24 frets on a 25.5 scale, but I don't want to rely on that

Hello all, I'm new here and recently bought my first Custom S guitar secondhand from a guitar center. When I picked up the guitar, I noticed the allen screw meant to keep the tremolo arm in place was missing and nowhere to found so now it's always moving or popping out if I lean over which is really annoying. Anyone know the size of this screw or where I could potentially get one? Obviously with the FR 1500 being exclusive and all I can't find anything else on this anywhere...

Good afternoon, good morning, good night fellow Synners! I am currently on my way to prom. Feel free to share you prom experience if you have gone to prom!
I am very anxious

Just one question, is it possible to get a good sounding pinch harmonic on the first or maybe second string?

Does anyone know whats up with the videos. I can watch the first segment of all the lessons but after that it just replays the same segment. I saw they removed the 'videos currently having problems' message. Am I missing something or does this issue happen for everyone?

So I’m not sure if this is fixable, but the toggle switches for my Sustainiac are loose. First it was the mode switch, and then the on/off switch became loose too, but I don’t know how to fix them. And it makes it to where my guitar literally only has a bridge pickup, because no signal comes from the neck now.

By “losse” I mean like they’re still connected to the guitar but they just flop around with no function instead of clicking back and fourth like they should. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, How do I stop/prevent my fingers from flying to far from the string, especially while playing the pentatonic scale? I think the problem is with my middle and ring finger.

Would you be interested in tuning in to a live stream of me learning the solo to "Nobody" by ear? I tried recording the process and wanted to make a video but I ended up recording 4ish videos, each at 40+ minutes so that idea's out.
I may only go live for about an hour if I am to schedule a stream, but let me know how you feel about it!

Hello, I'm self learning the guitar. I'm confused, after learning several chords what should I learn to improve my skill?
I play acoustic guitar btw.

Hey, sorry to double post in the same week. There's a song I'm trying to transcribe on guitar and I'm totally lost on how the guitarist is able to play the intro so quickly.
Here's the song for reference and there's no tabs online, so I'm trying to play it by ear.

Is he utilizing finger rolls and legato or am I just overthinking it? Should I slow it way down and try to just go for it?

What are y’all’s opinions on the new song ?? YouTube is full of dislikes.

Hello, I recently start playing the guitar, and I was wondering how do you make that sound at the end of the stage outro song with the acoustic guitar?

So, I've looked at tons of videos and I can't seem to find any information on this, it may be something that other players assume should be general knowledge, so here we go:

What is the correct thumb placement for playing drop chords on the first three frets that will minimize tension for playing and hammer-ons? Can someone show me a picture or video example so I can get this right? Thanks!

I know triplets, several scales, the notes on the guitar, CAGED, and basic major and minor arpeggios, what is a good next thing for me to work on? I am kinda lost on where to go next

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

I bought a second hand custom-s which was barely used and in good condition. Everything works apart from the sustainiac. I have replaced the battery with a new duracell one but it was only working in the lower strings. I raised the height and it worked on the b string also now but it still keeps cutting out on the high e string. The only setting that kinda works is the feedback setting in the middle, the sustain and harmonic keep cutting out. Could anyone help?

Hello, I am from India and there is literally no seller for the syn custom-s where I live.
Is there any way I can get my hands on it?
Is there any way to win it? I've always wanted it.

Hey Everyone! I got a bit of a different question to put out there.

So very recently I managed to purchase a Hellwin! Exciting. The difficult part is that it is from the UK and requires a 240v power supply, where here in North America we use 120V. This is fine as I have a work around via a little transformer that converts the power to 240v. Ive been using it with the Slant Hellwin cab it came with no issues, and it sounds fantastic!

Leading up to my question, I also own a 5150 Iconic Head and Cab. Its a straight cab with a 16ohm impedance (which is also the same as the hellwin slant cab I have).
SO, my question is, am I able to use the 5150 Cab along with the Hellwin Head and Cab to form a full stack? And what impedance selection should I set it to on the Hellwin head (8 ohms or 16 ohms?), but would the wattage requirement difference affect anything?

Pictures of the back of each cab for reference:

I've been trying to learn tapping for a bit, but its super quiet when i try. Is this an issue with my pickups? I have a fairly cheap guitar but wanna know if i could be doing something wrong.

One of my guitar goals was to play Vinai T's Move the Sky. Of course, I understand that it will take a lot of practice. However, as I skim to players who covered it, I was wondering whether the phrase played at about 2:00 - 2:04 in Login to view embedded media , is considered legato? How do I go about practicing that and which lesson in the school should I focus on? I really have issues when trying to descend when practicing legato. As for my level, at the moment I have played almost 2 years and can comfortably play Neil Zaza's I'm Alright at 100 bpm ( slow, but getting there . I also need advice on how to reach the alternate pickspeed in 2:27-2:30. Will any alternate picking exercise do and what speed should I start practicing and how much should i bump the speed every week? Thanks in advance!

Syn, if you're really out there watching over us- please, for the love of G(O)(D), do a playthrough video of "Nobody", or at least the solo! And if you're feeling extra generous, breakdown the solo and thought process behind it.

It would be great guitar content for the great guitar school we are all currently occupying.

I think mine would be Afterlife

Hey all! I've ran into this note pattern a couple times now in a few different songs, and I'm wondering if there is a proper way to pick it? I struggle with this one more than others! I've messed around with it a little, such as trying to alternate pick it and just down pick it, but it just doesn't feel right.

Any input is greatly appreciated!

I have a problem with the hellwin ir-s i don't know how to make them sound good it always sounds very scratchy high pitched, too many highs
Do you have any idea how to make them sound good? Like add a certain amp or preamp or cab or something
