    Trying to work out the intro to a song, kinda lost

    Going to devil's advocate @Ed Seith 's take here 👌 There's definitely an open B and high E in there, which suggests standard tuning, with chords utilising those open strings. Also, listening with headphones, I'm sure those first 3 notes aren't ringing completely into each other- suggesting that...

    Casadastraphobia

    I 100% agree with this. Having that kind of feedback and support all the time would be great!

    Casadastraphobia

    Yeah I definitely agree with this 👌 There's especially a stigma with us guys for some reason. It's probably going to be my first step in trying to beat this

    Casadastraphobia

    It is something I've considered to be honest... The therapy too... 😉🤣

    Casadastraphobia

    Yeah it really sucks, and it's worse knowing it's completely irrational. I totally agree with you though, sometimes exposure therapy for certain things can just be a negative feedback loop - I'll no doubt find my approach eventually 🤟

    Casadastraphobia

    Hey guys! I've been thinking about an experience I had recently while on Holiday in Germany and thought I could get great advice here. I suffer from a rare phobia known as Casadastraphobia, which is (hillariously) a fear of falling upwards, into the sky. (Trust me I know 😂) Any time I'm in a...

    What to learn music Theory wise

    There are so many avenues to go down here but the Theory concepts that have personally helped my own playing are : 1. Knowing The Notes in your Major Scales off by heart **verbally* : If you know each note name in your Major Scales this way (without your instrument) then you can think about...

    "Nobody" from the new album "Life is but a Dream"

    Definitely - 100% fave part visually was the skeleton picking up up 'natural' objects to find that they had Barcodes. It was pretty creepy

    "Nobody" from the new album "Life is but a Dream"

    I give it about three albums time for that end scenario 👌😂

    "Nobody" from the new album "Life is but a Dream"

    They knocked it out the park. Can totally hear the Ye influence in the production and I'm marking out for it 🤟! Syn's solo is probably the Gypsy jazziest I've heard in the note choice in parts too - great intro to the album

    How would pick this?

    Judging by the way it's set out in the bar, it looks like triplets - so a comfortable way of playing these would be: DUD DUD DUD DUD

    Songs that give you goosebumps/make you emotional

    Thanks for sharing Jeremy! I'll need to check this one out definitely 👌 Ah that must've been amazing to witness the song live aswell! I feel like when you're at a gig the same songs hit twice as much 😍

    Songs that give you goosebumps/make you emotional

    Ahh yes! That's honestly the exact same part of Victim that gets me too 😍 and the 'Save it for another time' part. I genuinely think the Vitcim solo is one of Syn's most underrated - just a really raw emotional solo that jives so well with the backing piano/harmony - a heart wrencher rather than...

    Songs that give you goosebumps/make you emotional

    Thanks for sharing this Bx! It's my go to commuting song just now and it's getting me really hyped for the new album 😍 I'll definitely give those tunes a listen - I can definitely see how the Queen tune would hit hard too 👌

    Songs that give you goosebumps/make you emotional

    Cheers for this Ed! Looking forward to getting into this one. Love the fact that's its a solo aswell! 👌

    Songs that give you goosebumps/make you emotional

    Thanks for sharing Radu! Going to give this a listen for sure 👌 One of my students is really into GOW and the initial story of it seems really interesting! That's really interesting how you can pinpoint the Music to that time in your life too, it just shows how much it can impact things

    Songs that give you goosebumps/make you emotional

    Hey guys! Hope you're All Keeping Safe & Well So I was sitting Jamming along to the last half of 'Exist' by A7X today and out of nowhere, the song just 'got me' (if you know what I mean) Full on goosebumps with the ending Synth parts & NDT's speech, lump in my throat, butterflies in my...

    Skill

    Hey man! This is something my students ask frequently. I'd say Technically yes and technically no. You can 100% work and work to get to the point where you can play anything Syn/PG can play live, or transcribe everything he's ever played in public etc - But it will always be an imitation of...
