    Syn Gates Custom Dimebag Tribute

    Personally, not a huge fan. Mostly because of the lack of shine or anything like that, or hardware. I’m sure with it finished, though, it’d look amazing.

    Chugga chugga picking style

    Personally, I use two fingers to pick as I primarily use jazz picks. Thick picks too. I think it all comes down to the person and play style as many others have said. Like Sayonil mentioned, picking style changes. About 6 months ago I played only in a strumming position with my hand, while now I...

    Can Someone Do Me A Simple Favor?

    I’ve not gotten a single email since last month, for example when I needed to reset my password for possible suspicious activity I never got the email. Please fix it, for everyone’s account safety and such

    Stringing issues

    I can try. They usually snap when I haven’t changed strings at all, for example on my Ibanez before I took it to get a set up the high e broke and the friend I bought it from said that he’d yet replaced the strings as they were all rusty and dirty. I over exaggerate, as I meant that of all the...

    Stringing issues

    They’re old strings. I plan to buy new ones soon. And for me, tuning that high e string up terrifies me as I always snap it first while playing and it always strikes me. But yeah, I plan to buy two sets of new strings for my acoustics and another set for my strat as it hasn’t had a replacement yet.

    Stringing issues

    It’s a steel acoustic, and I am pulling the strings through, still no success. I might have a rod issue but from the looks of it, the neck is nice and straight. I’m not sure honestly, it might be an issue with the tuning pegs. I think it might have to do with one of my strings being stripped at...

    Stringing issues

    Lately I’ve been having major slippage issues and tuning issues with my acoustics. It’s the same tuning machine on both guitars, too. Basically, when I go to tune them, the strings will detune majorly almost to the point of coming undone. I’m not sure why this is happening but I suspect it’s...

    Jam questions

    Heyo, so I saw a recent post on the forums about a discord server (I believe) Ids made, just wondering if anyone is down to Jam over discord? I think it’s awesome to meet new people who play, as well as learn some things from fellow guitar players. If anyone is down, my discord is...

    Does anybody want a syn school discord server?

    yeah, my discord is Hearts/Wires#8851. But I think i agree with kfir, when the forums gain traction a discord server among students would help more than right now, as the school is small in terms of current forum users

    Talent show advice?

    we have a pretty long time period for practice and rehearsal, so I should be fine with my parts by the time we go on stage. I mainly want to participate because of the reason you said (better to do it than not) and because I don’t always get to jam with him or in front of others, and because...

    Newsflash For The School

    The “my riffs,” “my topics,” and “my replies” buttons simply refresh the page. It gets frustrating when I’d like to look at my older posts to view the criticism and help people have given me, would love this fixed.

    Talent show advice?

    So, me and my friend River intend to participate in our schools’ talent show. We plan to play “Shepherd of Fire” as a partnership, him playing lead and I on rhythm. We only get two minutes for a set and want to do either the solo or the best parts of the song. As I have never played live...

    So any gamers here?

    Yeah, I’m into stuff like fallout and rocksmith, as well as a good bit of COD. Mostly on Xbox though, so im very limited

    what was your first guitar?

    My first ever was an old Ibanez AX Gio, and an orange crush 12. Played good for a while but neck is all bent and pickups are busted. I plan to “renovate” it I guess you could say.

    New Hellraiser

    thanks for the recommendations and tips, I will most definitely look into the Hellraiser (or omen for that matter.)

    New Hellraiser

    I’m considering buying a new Hellraiser so I can play more A7X stuff or metal in general, but I am unsure of whether it’s worth it. Guitar Center says it’s good condition, but I’m not 100%. Advice? (I don’t know if the link will work, but this is what I’m looking at...

    Who/what inspired you to play guitar?

    Mostly watching Synyster as well as David Gilmour play. As soon as I heard “Nightmare” and “Shephard of Fire,” I knew I wanted to play them.
