This is what ive been working on for the last couple months i was nervous as hell to post cause ive never posted myself playing guitar on anything but i decided i need to come out of my shell.
There's a John Mayer tone challenge on Instagram and I figured I would participate

I last attempted the Intro to Buried Alive eagerly with a pick, but had some suggestions to try it in its finger playing style. This is a little rough, and I apologize for that. I just wanted to show some progress. Any suggestions for other finger style songs would be awesome!
Breaking the law! Breaking the law! The main riff is very fun to play!
Sweep Pick Original Etude
I used one of Syn's backing tracks
When I heard it for the first time I fell in love with this solo... And now I played it!

The Stage solo cover

The Stage by avenged sevenfold first solo cover
Learned this within a few days, so I'm not exactly on time with the backing track. But it was fun recording it. Happy Valentines Day.
Breakdown of Syn's flawless sweep picking technique and how he does it. Hope this helps some of you who struggle with sweeping or picking in general.
Picking advice on Adrian Smith’s solo from “The Trooper”. What’s the best way to pick progressively faster licks? I show how I do it but they’re may be an easier or better way. Up for any advice and help to get up to speed.
The track, which was originally recorded for 2013's "Hail to the King" album, now include on the streaming version of "Diamonds in the Rough" (CD version released in 2008) which is released on February 7. Have fun 🤘🏽

Ciphers

A bit of a song I’ve been working on called “Ciphers”. The full song is written out, some of the parts are just tricky and I don’t have them 100% down yet so I strung this together from the main parts of the verse and chorus :)
UPDATE: As promised, I did this to a backing track after some more practice. Simple Man solo with backing track. The backing track is the bass and drum recording from the original album recording.
Weekend project. CAUTION: UNDER CONSTRUCTION-both solos from “The Trooper” by the mighty #IronMaiden, missed/extra notes, bad timing and all. #practice #guit...
Here’s a riff for The Synyster Gates Guitar website :) Im playing through a Dean ML 79 into a 50 watt evh 6l6. It's inspired by Jacky Vincent from Falling in Reverse and Cry Venom. I'm thinking of upgrading the neck pickup. Hmmm... anyone have any experience with the Syn neck pickups.
