    Speed Training Tool Not Working/How To Use?

    Hey everyone. I noticed there's a new speed training tool on the lessons. However, when I select all of my stats and click "OK", after each loop I'm not seeing the speed increase. Does it actually SHOW the speed is increased? Right now I have it just set at 1% each time so I don't know if it...

    Having Trouble Setting Up FX Chains In Reaper

    @Ed Seith thank you so much for your help! I'm gonna be sitting down soon to try all of these suggestions. I really appreciate it! I thought Reatune was just to be left on for when you needed to tune your guitar. But you're right maybe it is doing something wonky. I'll let you know!

    Having Trouble Setting Up FX Chains In Reaper

    Hey everyone! I'm getting a lot better with using Reaper but the biggest problem I'm having is setting up FX chains with amp simulators and stuff. A few of the problems I'm having are.... 1. The sound randomly cuts out. If I do a vibrato or a bend, randomly it's like the signal cuts out and it...

    Song writing

    To be honest my friend, words don't have to be your forte at all. You're writing lyrics, not an Anne Rice novel. You can look at the likes of The Beatles and Richard Harris and you see some of the weirdest random lyrics anyone could ever shake a stick at. Then you can get into the likes of...

    CoE, White Album, and Nightmare have no filler. Prove me wrong.

    I always love hearing people's different opinions on this topic but I will agree, there are a lot of albums coming out in the last 15 years that I really only like a few songs off of. I think that's why Avenged Sevenfold has been so successful is they seem to take very stringent time with...

    CoE, White Album, and Nightmare have no filler. Prove me wrong.

    I think doing time sounds more Guns & Roses than Metallica personally. And even more specifically it sounds more like Velvet Revolver than Guns & Roses. It's so interesting to see so many different opinions because for me, hail to the king is one of their albums that doesn't have any filler...

    When you came in with the solo, those pinch harmonics and the notes you chose and even the tone totally made me think of ZZ Top. This was excellent!

    OMG after completing the entire CAGED section and practicing the shit out of it, there's so many goal solos I'm finally learning! Also this is my very first attempt at recording this with the interface the students gifted me years ago 🥰 Jak Angelescu shared a post on Instagram: "My very first...

    Question on Modes

    Hey that's OK! I think it's awesome that you even looked it up, and I love thy fact you said "language of music theory" because that's what it is!

    Question on Modes

    I love the fact you wrote this up! But, is it really heptatonic when talking about modes? I know that heptatonic means that there are 7 notes in the scale between each octave, but DIATONIC scale is the actual formula of the whole step/half step combo that gives it its modal sound. And my friend...
