  1. Outro solo to song I’m releasing soon!

    Outro solo to song I’m releasing soon!

    Hey guys! This is a solo I recorded a while back! When writing these solos, I try to showcase the influences I love. You’ll hear a lot of John Mayer and some gypsy jazz. Thought I’d share here! I’d love to hear opinions!

    Synyster Gates tone (How he achieves his distortion)

    Thank you Mr. Haner! This is exactly the information I was looking for. And who better than you or the man himself to answer? I’m a bit surprised that he was using mostly amp distortion for his whole career. Simple but iconic tone. Being that you mentioned gypsy jazz, when will we get to hear...

    Synyster Gates tone (How he achieves his distortion)

    Sorry, I’m not seeing anything that covers specifically how he has achieved his distortion in the past. So while his new gear that is coming out is probably going to be awesome, I’m specifically looking for what he has done for records and live performances in the past. I’d specifically like to...

    Synyster Gates tone (How he achieves his distortion)

    I’m sure similar topics have been discussed already, but I’m curious specifically about how he achieves distortion. Does he use distortion pedals into a clean amp? Does he get the amp to distort then run distortion pedals? I’m sure these answers may vary based on albums, live performances, and...

    Which players would you say defined you as a player?

    We have similar lists. Synyster Gates, John Mayer, SRV, BB King, Yngwie Malmsteen, Django Reinhardt, Bireli Lagrene, Steve Vai, and maybe Antonio Carlos Jobim. There are plenty that influence not only my playing in a general sense but harmonically. People, (not all guitarists), that I believe...

    “Don’t worry about me”- Django Reinhardt: Opening solo

    Django Reinhardt’s birthday just passed and I posted a solo of his that I transcribed, on my Instagram. There are a few players that have had massive influences my musical development. From Synyster Gates, to John Mayer, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, and a few more really had...

    Comment by 'Eduardo96' in media 'Gypsy jazz etude In Am'

    Lol I play gypsy jazz but I was really asking if it was a luthier made instrument or what brand it is. Thanks though.

    my rhythm sucks what can i do

    There are a slot of things you can do. Here are just a few suggestions. -Play the songs you already know, with a metronome and not the song/backing track playing in the background so that you know that you actually know how to play the song without (over) relying on prerecorded instruments to...
  10. I can’t give you anything but love - Etude

    I can’t give you anything but love - Etude

    Posted this twice because I figured it fits in both tutorials and jazz. Here’s an etude I wrote over one chorus of an old standard. The goal of this etude was to try to write lines that were breaking out of the fretboard shapes I felt too stuck in, to focus on triplets, focus on altered...

    I can’t give you anything but love - Etude

    Here’s an etude I wrote over one chorus of an old standard. The goal of this etude was to try to write lines that were breaking out of the fretboard shapes I felt too stuck in, to focus on triplets, focus on altered lines/tritone substitutions, and to try get any bebopish phrasing that I...
