  • Question
Transitioning and strum patterns

So there are two things that are confusing me. First is something I kinda got down and that transitioning from a verse to a chorus or chorus to a bridge. What are some steps or ways I would to kinda build up verse to a chorus or another part of the song. Second is strum patterns. I have been having a lot of trouble finding good strum patterns to use in a song so what should I practice to start heading in the right direction. The only two I really know is just either straight eighth notes or the one strum pattern that Avenged Sevenfold uses in like 50% of their choruses (natural born killer, heretic, etc.)

Guitar strings

Hi guys! I'm here with a question about the guitar strings. I play an old and cheap electric guitar (model Les Paul) and I've always used to use strings with 10-46 scale. Currently, I'm using the Ernie Ball regular slinky (the ones with the green pack). My question is, if I want to try the super slinky (the ones with the pink pack), which are 9-42 scale, could I have some kind of problems with my guitar? Is the string scale related to the guitar model, or is just up to the style/type of music you're going to play? I've always put the 11-52 on the acoustic guitar and the 10-46 on the electric, but I've never tried the 9-42 and I'm just curious.

Digital processor trouble

hi if there is anyone with the knowladge or experiance on processor repair i need some help. I've been using Pod xt Live on stage and it started lightly at first but now it uncontrollablely switches tones between channels in the middle of a song while edit button is closed. For more clear explanation for example, when i play the rhythm section with clean channel that has gain on 1 and then switch to the distortion channel for solo with gain on 8-9 or whatever doesnt really matter, the gain of the distortion channel suddenly drops down to 1 same level as the clean channel i used right before. Is there anyway i can fix it myself at home there arent really any good lithuers around me and literally not a single one that can repair pedals etc.

Floyd rose troubleshooting

So I have a schecter hellraiser with a Floyd rose on it and I have it in drop c and I play with Ernie ball 10-52 strings and lately the low e string feels loose or there isn't enough tension on the string and the other strings feel fine.
The low e string has this snappiness sound to it.
Any advice

  • Question
Tuning

Hey guys! Hope everyone is well. So glad the lessons are back and running😊 Thank you to everyone who worked hard on getting them back up! I've had my guitar for about a year now and I'm not a complete beginner, but I still don't know a whole lot of things, so I'm starting the lessons from the very beginning. Regarding the tuning lesson, I have been using guitar tuna/my amp tuner to help me tune(I dont own a clip tuner just yet). I've been trying to practice how to tune my guitar using the method in the lesson, but I just cant seem to get it. Is there any tips or tricks you guys have to help me master this skill?

Guitar Effect in Angels Chorus

Hi folks,
I’m trying to figure out how to produce the effect Syn is using in the Chorus of the song Angels.

My ears are hearing a high octave effect and volume swells. It may also be some sort of delay or reverb effect where he has the mix set to 100%.

I know he’s a Fractal user, and that’s what I’m working with. I’ve already been trying stuff with a volume block and a pitch block for the octaves. Nothing so far. I’ve tried some different delays as well, but nothing.

Would love some help from the community! :)

  • Question
Barre chords for 7 string guitar?

Pretty much as the question is asked. I've gotten my E shape barre chord down with no problem on a standard 6 string. But I normally play and practice on my 7 string (tuned to Drop A so I have E standard on the top 6 strings). How do I properly do a barre chord? Do I fret across the 6 and mute the 7th with the tip of my finger, or do I reach my index finger over the 7th and mute it? There aren't a lot of resources out there haha

  • Question
Guitar Bat country solo help

I can play most of the solo, but am currently struggling (and have been for about 3 or so months now) to do the part right before the duet, the part where it's a fast up then back down on the frets kind of thing, does anyone have any tips, or advice, on how I should go about doing it, or any exercises that could help? Right now I've just been trying to do it slowly then speed it up but I'm not making any progress doing it this way.

Lead Guitar

I’ve been trying to practice my lead guitar skills so I go on a backing track to do that and… I have no idea what to do. I’m even questioning what lead guitar is. I look up on the internet for help and I couldn’t find my answer but maybe I did, I have no idea. Is lead guitar just soloing over the rhythm because that is what all the sources on the internet were saying. What is lead guitar?
