    Thoughts on that new 7 stringed beast?

    Love the finish on it 👌 I've always thought headless Guitars looked strange so I've never vibed with them visually, but this is really challenging that view. I think it's due to the fact that I'm in open acceptance with the 'bold' mindset that Avenged have adopted. If the music can be a trip...

    Overview of a major chord

    When PG is referring to 1 3 5, he is referring to the 1st 3rd and 5th notes of the Major Scale. Think of the Major Scale as the DNA that builds the Major Chord 👌 If you have the C Major Scale: CDEFGABC Then a C Major Chord would be: CEG (135) of the Scale. Notice how the Chord is built: pick...

    Practice makes perfect

    If I have a break between Lessons I usually take 30 mins/1 hour 👌 However admittedly I'm usually not timing what I'm doing, It tends to be more goal based. For example, if I'm working on a certain technique, I'll work until I start to hear or feel a slight improvement, then I'll try and keep...

    Afterlife Solo Practice

    So I've been chipping away at the Afterlife Solo recently - here is my latest attempt! (Ps, apologies - this was filmed on a potato with a quiet amp sound, so the Solo is best heard through headphones with a good bass balance) Enjoy!

    We Love You (SPOILERS)

    I actually laughed when I first heard the tune - just because it was so out of left field and definitely Ye influenced in it's chopiness. I was worried that I'd dissappoint myself by building up the next thing after 'Nobody' to be weirder and it wasn't going to hit that mark - but this truly...

    We Love You

    Definitely agree man! 🤘

    So I did a thing

    That's an absolute beaut! 😍

    We Love You

    100% would dig anything that calls back to that sound! I think it's either a Fans one or possibly something deeper into the Existentialist theme...I'm thinking with it being the song directly after Nobody, which is about death, I've got this weird feeling it could end up being a cynical take...

    We Love You

    Indeed! It'll be interesting to hear people's opinions of the full album after Friday in that case 👀 Haha could be! Or Fans of NFT's
  15. Chris Johnston

    We Love You

    I'm definitely hoping it has elements of both of these! Yeah totally, I don't think you can re-do the stage even with the best intentions 👌

    We Love You

    So I've recently seen on the Avenged Sevenfold reddit page that there's discussion of 'We Love You' dropping this Friday and it's got me wondering: What do we think this song Is going to be about?/sound like? I'm really curious to find out everyone's ideas and predictions! 😊

    Tales of a Musician - I trust people less and less with each passing DM

    The Doom album sounds amazing man! Yeah socials can be a minefield for sure. A straightforward way to get your music in front of Genuine 'possible fans' could be to utilise Instagram's paid targeted ads service. The idea (I think) is that you give Instagram certain parameters of which exact...

    how do i play this or is there a tutorial somewhere on yt or this?

    To add to what Ed is saying here - when you're fretting on the A String with your Index finger, you can use the very tip of the finger to touch the underside of the Thick E string to mute it 👌 It means you can really go for it with your strumming
