    Best metal guitarists of the year?

    Not sure if you're referring to the genre Rhythm & Blues? If so, here's what I have to say: This album was much more psychedelic rock blended with metal. The more music you listen to and the more you look into what the artist (Slipknot in this case) has put into each given song and album...

    Etude challenge

    I know tapping, alternate picking, and some very shaky legato (three note per string pull offs are a huge challenge for me). I have not tried sweep picking or economy picking but I am willing to try! Enjoy and cheers! :ROFLMAO:🍾🍹🍻

    MUSIC THEORY - Lesson 9 - Simple music intervals

    I think that an easy way to think about this or remember this is with the idea of a major scale. Follow along with the image below: W=Whole Step H=Half Step The intervals for a major scale are: ROOT-W-W-H-W-W-W-H(OCTAVE). Think of these intervals at the 1st in the scale, 2nd, in the scale...

    Best metal guitarists of the year?

    THIS!!! A THOUSAND TIMES THIS!!! I became a Slipknot fan in the past year, and the more you delve into it the more creative you realize they are. There are so many layers to each of their songs, and We Are Not Your Kind really exemplifies how they strive to create something new, different, and...

    Etude challenge

    Yes! Where do we start? Name one for me and I will work on it relentlessly! I can't guarantee it will be as speedy as the master himself, but I'll give it everything I got!

    Buidling a guitar/bass

    Unless you have: Been woodworking for several years Built several guitars from a kit before Have all the specialized tools to do the job I would advise against trying to build your own neck and/or pickups. The neck is not an approximate project, the measurements have to be EXACT. It may be a...

    Key vs Scale?

    I think I may be oversimplifying, but I think of a scale being the notes (pitches) you are playing and a key being the chords you play along with it. The chords typically will be the same letters as the notes in the scale, but with an added (major, minor, diminished, etc). For example - The...

    Not good tempo, but good note choices?

    It's beautiful! If you modified it yourself, how difficult was the Sustainiac to wire? Also, I think you should post about it in the gear forum! It's a truly impressive and sleek guitar. I don't think there's a gear or setup sharing thread, but Captain Ed's Kitchen seems like the closest place...

    Where should I learn theory?,

    If you check some of the posts on the $student forums, you'll see that one student is actually starting to write pretty comprehensive threads on different music theory topics. I imagine he is planning to go more in depth and cover more topics, but stay tuned and check it out. I believe the...

    Not good tempo, but good note choices?

    That sounded really great! How did you manage to get a white Avenger with a Sustainiac in it? The sticker is a nice touch btw ;)

    Right/Left Hand Synchronization

    Technique wise this is something I haven’t yet tried! When you do string skipping, is there a specific picking technique to try? (Alternate picking, down picking, economy picking, etc) Should I try to mix them together or practice the techniques separately?

    Right/Left Hand Synchronization

    Thank you for the tip! I'll try it out!

    Right/Left Hand Synchronization

    I was wondering if there were any exercise that could improve the coordination and synchronization of the left and right hand? I've found that any time I try and go above about 80bpm, one hand wants to go faster than the other. Does the synchronization just come with practice or are there...

    MUSIC THEORY - Lesson 3 - Music sheets

    Thanks so much for the reply, can't wait for that tutorial! So, just a clarifying question: even if it's just a single note (not notes stacked on top of each other) it may imply you're supposed to play a chord there?

    Mid 2000s A7X Pics

    I personally own a Standard. The pickups are Duncan Designed instead of Seymour Duncan, but the big difference is that the Custom has a set neck. I didn't realize that until I bought it (I bought it online and the ad only had one picture).

    MUSIC THEORY - Lesson 3 - Music sheets

    This may seem like a silly thing, but I keep seeing augmented notes on the staff when I see sheet music. Why would a note be augmented instead of being labeled as the next note above it sharped? For example, why would something be labeled as "E augmented" instead of "F sharp"? If they are the...

    How many times have you seen A7X live?

    Once! I had the privilege of seeing them open for Metallica in Seattle in 2017! What a show!! I spent almost all my saved money to get there, and got squished in the GA crowd! My favorite memory of that show is M. Shadows catching a pair of panties that was thrown up to him. I can't wait until...
