    What do you enjoy playing?

    If you wanna do what they do, you gotta put yourself there with them, as them. Intimidation is a wall that you build, and if you keep allowing yourself to do so, you're gonna build so many walls, you're eventually not gonna be able to progress :) Don't be shy to learn a simple Green Day solo...

    Old Synyster/Zacky guitar tutorial-missing?

    I think I know which one you're talking about. It's either the one @Alicia Willis just shared, or it's the one with the loud epic transitions in between songs haha. They played Beast and the Harlot intro and cuts into the solo, and Burn it Down intro, and Seize the Day solo. I remembered that.

    How to perfect playing a song to play live

    You gotta do it more and more :) I used to have stage fright, but because I wanted to express my passion for playing guitar, that motivated me to push myself to go up there and it worked wonders. Sure, mess ups happen, but the more you do it, the more you get comfortable ;) No one else but...

    #OneMonthChallenge - Critical Acclaim solo cover 🤟🏽

    Back then I'd just memorize the harmonies and mindlessly shred over the shredding bits, but this time I took the time to literally slow the song down & properly pick out the notes. Asides from the technicality, I also developed a deeper appreciation to the chords used in especially the 1st...

    Syn Custom Pros: Purely passive setting, split coil functionality Cons: not really a con, but you just won't get that crazy Sustainiac functions. The sustain on its own is pretty damn good tbh Syn Custom-S Pros: Expands possibility of playing with the various Sustainiac functions Cons: again...

    Tips for nervousness and anxiety?

    To add-on to everyone up there, also remind yourself of your goals. Tell yourself that this is what you want, and you've gotten the opportunity, so it's now or never!
