Riffs

Fermi Paradox

I learned Fermi Paradox, I kinda cut the outro solo short at the fade out but all the other bits are there 😅
1 week of practice. Battling a runny nose and unwanted string noise, but I think I have the notes memorized outside of a few mistakes.

Tribute

I had a bit of fun and made a cover of Tribute
So this is the first Avenged Sevenfold solo I ever attempted learning. I started trying to learn this all the way back in December. I still am not the best at it andstill need to work on it, and get up to speed a bit, but I can definitely see improvment from December. I apologize for not adding the music in the background I still have to get some things fix so I can edit, plus it will give me a chance to work on it some more. But yeah I'm definitely glad to see even the slightest bit of improvement
Heart of fire by black veil brides #synnersunday
Decided to try heart of fire by bvb for synner sunday.
Been working on this over the last couple of days, still needs a little polish but it is getting there. Nearly time to put on my big boy pants and have a go at the second solo.
A two tone Robot? I was testing my new strings and practiced this for a few minutes. At first I was using only one finger than I tried to do each Did it sound like a robot kind of? It's what I was going for and probably after 20 secs it started to sound okay is this something good?
Solo challenge to myself I figured I would try something outside of my personal ability as I still consider myself a beginner. Will work on this for 30 days and see what progress I make this is roughly 35% speed. Feel free to leave any criticism. Always loved this solo.

Polyphia - Euphoria

I'm working on learning Euphoria by Polyphia so here's a little bit for the people of the Syn Gates community to watch. Sorry it's a little rough!
I was cooking and heard this. I'm going to try again tomorrow and learn the chords better, I started to record after trying it once at 60%. I much enjoy this song my shoulder hurts I should where a sling for a long time but I like playing guitar gonna try to match the recording some too, i just heard it's different

Almost got it. This riff is from a song that saved my life and it's only fitting that it be played on Jimmy's Dragon Telecaster. Just gotta smooth out the picking and get Jimmy's groove down.

Trashed and Scattered

Just started learning this today, and while it’s definitely not perfect I’m really happy with how quickly I’ve been able to pick it up. The last few months I’ve really been focusing on picking exercises rather than learning many songs, and I can start seeing it pay off.
Hail to the king solo cover
Sorry for mistakes and elbow shots. I really needs Floyd rose. Syns guitar is my dream guitar!!

The first part I saw Joe Satriani do in an interview while warming up talking about when Steve Vai and him trained together. It was some time ago. I don't know a lot of their music. It may have been in one of the Guitar World Magazine Dvd's I had. I think it's good to practice because you switch between diagonal angles. I saw the shape in one of the recent lessons I did and remembered it. There's some pattern where it sounds okay connecting them but I forgot. To make the shape E:5 A:6 D:7 G:8 move that shape to different strings, up and down the neck and invert it too, to mix it up more. The invert would be E:8 A:7 D:6 G:5 Got lost after that, was going to try and show this hammer on thing to make the fingers more stronk Energy has been low, didn't want to talk now
Okay time for the 1 month update! I've been working on this quite a bit and have definitely been able to add some speed, though I still have a way to go (this is at 125bpm vs. 110 a month ago). Old video is here: https://synner.com/media/starting-one-month-guitar-challenge-i-am-a-viking.4998/
Final day of this challenge! I want to challenge myself on this one, so I tried to incorperate some tapping in there. I know I am very weak in that area, so I wanted to try and take this chance to practice that. All in all this challenge was fun to do! It allowed me to make stuff of my own, something I had been afraid of doing, so I enjoyed this challenge!
