    Questions about rhythm and phrases

    Hey, recently I have attempted to start playing more to try and feel rhythm while playing but I haven’t got a clue how, its almost impossible to tap my foot to a drum beat and play at the same time and most of the time finding the beat of a song is quite challenging. I don’t know any other ways...

    How I can be like syn

    The best advice I can give is practice practice and PRACTICE. I played a mesa 2c+ and a jp15 and I didn’t sound like petrucci so it must be in the hands and it is. The best thing to do is listen to syns influences, find where he got his style and learn licks and techniques from both them and...

    The Pharaoh’s Revenge

    After a long time of inactivity on the song I have got the iso track for the verse and would love to know what you think, I am in the process of rerecording quite a bit of it and after that I should be set to get new parts recorded.

    Your views on the Boss Katana 50

    Oh, fair enough, I haven’t played the 50 but I have played others in the range and they are pretty good, Good for an inexpensive gigging amp.

    Is your friend able to use VSTs or can they only use amps for now?

    Fun Project: Gauging Progress

    To be honest, I don’t have many progress videos because Im a huge self critic, if it ain’t perfect it’s scrapped. Need to get out of the mindset

    Just a music question

    I’d have to go with Steve Vai, always a captivating player.

    Does anybody want a syn school discord server?

    If anyone is still interested, the server is fully functional and has procedures in place to make sure rules are accepted. I am currently working on anti spam and procedures for rule breaks but it is structurally sound for now.

    Big things may be happening soon

    So guys, I never thought I would be able to figure out how to do music as a profession until no. There is a state of the art performing arts school in England with protools, mixing desks, full studios THE WHOLE 8 MILES. I never thought it would be something I could do but I just thought F**k it...

    Buying a new guitar

    I am a huge advocate for floyds and have them on my main guitars but if you want a straight up ready to go metal machine I would advise avoiding them. They are great and are a huge part of my melodic playing (think Vai style inflections). But I really need a simple stripped guitar with a TOM...

    Help with harmonizing guitar parts

    Id try a harmoniser pedal if possible, this is obviously not a substitute but it will help you figure out some stuff by ear by hearing what it will sound like.

    Why does this keep happening?

    That may be an issue, I don’t really stretch too much, probably should, meditation will also be a big help I feel, in more aspects than playing.
