    This Is Why Learning Your Scales and Positions is Crucial!

    I think you might have posted the wrong link, it just takes me to a login screen

    Let's Pump Up The Jams!

    I agree. I feel like most people in the riff section don’t post their videos to get advice in order to get better, but rather to show how good they are for likes. I get it though, I’ve been guilty of that a couple of times as well. And while there’s nothing wrong with that, I think there are...

    Pain on my fingers

    What kind of pain is this exactly? Is it pain in the joints of your fingers or is it more like pain on skin of your finger tips? If it is the latter, this will probably go away eventually. When I start learning new songs with a lot of bends and vibrato, my fingertips can get sore from intensive...

    need help with improv and stuff

    Thanks. When I want to do new things I tend to worry about everything at once and end up doing nothing at all lol. I guess that’s something that’s really been holding me back, not just guitar related but with life in general.

    need help with improv and stuff

    I’ve been playing guitar for about 6 years, but this mostly consists of playing songs or part of songs that I like, without really paying any attention to improvisation, writing or music theory, although over the years I have gathered some knowledge about music theory. Also, I have never played...

    My Addiction To Alternate Picking? (Syn, PG Advice Would Be Amazing)

    I posted a video of me playing HTTK solo at different speeds, just for fun. The way I play it is probably not entirely how Syn plays it, but maybe it can help people. Hail to the King solo practice (50%-100% orginal speed)

    My Addiction To Alternate Picking? (Syn, PG Advice Would Be Amazing)

    Yes i’m almost 100% sure that part is economy picked, I’ve been practicing that solo recently and that particular part feels very smooth with economy picking. I also rely a lot on alternate picking, but recently I’ve been realizing that economy picking might actually be the better option for me.

    Guitar to PC?

    Yeah when recording I usually just play without being able to hear the amp, this isn’t really a big problem. But it would be better if you could actually hear the amplified sound to hear the nuances that you can’t hear with just the acoustic sound.

    I need an expert on this one.

    Well, since in guitar playing the term legato is usually used for techniques involving only hammer-ons and pull offs (see for example Syns’s legato etudes) I would say tapping is legato, since tapping is basically hammer-ons and pull offs with your right hand (or left hand if you play...

    Guitar to PC?

    When I try to record from my amp directly into my PC and check the “listen” box on the recording device, I hear what I’m playing but it’s delayed. Is there a way to fix this?

    Oh boy, it happened again

    I think that goes without saying

    Deleting Riffs ?

    I believe the way I deleted a video was indeed how papa Gates described. perhaps the option to delete riffs was mistakenly removed in an update?

    Deleting Riffs ?

    I deleted a video directly from my profile before but I can’t find out how I did it. Weird.

    What kind of picks do you use and what kind of music do you play?

    I’ve been using the John Petrucci signature picks for quite a while now, but recently I got the tortex sharp 1.5mm and ultex sharp 2.0mm to try them out and now I can’t decide which of the three picks I like best.

    Capo

    I never really used a capo, but is there really a point to buying an expensive capo? I mean all it does is pressing the strings down, no need to spend a lot of money on that. Please do tell me if i’m wrong though lol

    D K's riff from March 10, 2018 at 12:52 pm

    Some tapping excercises I came up with using only hammer-ons (no pull-offs), comparable to the overhand tapping in Syn's master class solo, but simpler. Could be used to increase finger strength and you can get creative with it. Feedback is always appreciated. 🙂

    Misheard A7X Lyrics? (For Fun!)

    Sorry for the bump, but this just popped into my head. In lost, instead of “the end is knocking” I heard “Diane is not gay” (diane pronounced as dee-ann). I knew this was probably not what he was actually singing, but I couldn’t figure out what else it could be.

    Favorite riff/solo to play?

    Hard to say, this changes all the time for me. Basically my favorite thing to play is specifically what i’m learning at that time. But something that I often play whenever I don’t know what else to do is stream of consciousness by Dream Theater (only the easy parts though lol).

    Have you read this?? (here at the school)

    Yeah this is pretty well hidden on the site, they should make it more visible as it is pretty cool to read about that stuff.
