    Why does this keep happening?

    Hey guys, I believe I have made a thread like this before but I thought I need to get to the bottom of the problem. I have been playing guitar for months with no problems but on sunday I went out for a few hours and came back and I couldn’t play at all, I could barely hold a pick and couldn’t...

    The Pharaoh’s Revenge

    Sorry guys, gotta apologise for that last post, It’s been pretty tough having to try and get everything sorted for the song, however. I think I have a clear vision. The riff I will post tomorrow is one of the coolest riffs I think I have ever written. It is also in a really nice feel and I...

    The Pharaoh’s Revenge

    Wow did this not go as planned, I originally started this with a few ideas in mind and they were all ideas that I knew could work but had no idea how to put together, I am definitely somewhere but the song doesn’t feel like it flows. I have the order Intro-Drum fill-Verse-Chorus-1st verse...

    Getting serious with practicing

    Managed to speak to someone in a discord call (might as well use as many sources as possible) and I now know 4 positions of the minor scale which was a huge leap for me, I am also working on major scale positions so I’m not stuck in one place. Its funny you say that Calvin as that has been...

    Getting serious with practicing

    Hey guys, I have recently as many of you know, been recording and while playing I have noticed that I have gotten pretty sloppy with standards and I think its mainly down to a lack of serious practice, I mainly jam when I practice and its always the same stuff but after 7 years of playing I look...

    How to make seamless transitions between takes

    I will definitely look at that Filip! Hey Ed, it’s really a mixture of both the sections and tracks but mainly tracks. At the moment the only way I am creating some sort of transition between the different parts is where one track starts and one finishes but it’s not always smooth. I will try...

    How to make seamless transitions between takes

    That’s my go to at the minute, fade it in while notes ring out, may have to rerecord the intro but hey, shit happens.

    How to make seamless transitions between takes

    Sorry for the confusion Ed, think I confused myself there, I did mean the sections of the song, it’s because at the moment there is only a single track for each section. If it’s fine with you can I send over my tracks (due to 3rd party software being unreliable it will have to be on discord). I...

    How to make seamless transitions between takes

    Hey all, I have been recording parts to my song (actually pretty daunting to try and come up with something so big and now I built up some hype 😂) the tracks seem good but they sound like just that, a bunch of tracks. Just wondering if there is any tips to smooth the transitions between them.

    Does anybody want a syn school discord server?

    Of course, I wouldn’t dream of taking people away from the school, just a place to chat and socialise in calls and play guitar. By no means would I ever want this to be seen as a rival or a way to take the school down. This place is sick and what im doing is just a little something on the side...

    Does anybody want a syn school discord server?

    The one I was in had a few chat rooms but the main attraction was the ability to play guitar with a group who wanted to chill and have fun, I could just make it that, there would be enough rooms so it wouldn’t get out of hand.

    Does anybody want a syn school discord server?

    I was thinking about making a discord server for people as I have been i. The Dooos discord server (youtube guitarist) and he has chats where you can sit and jam with people and it was a really fun experience. I thought we could do that as well as have gear talks, discuss music and other...

    The Pharaoh’s Revenge

    I have all the riffs sorted just got to see which ones work best, just playing around in REAPER to see what is nicest before working on transition ideas. Then it’s re-recording to a higher standard.

    The Pharaoh’s Revenge

    I have a single track with the basic layout of the song, the hardest bit is trying to transitional the bits and make the drop in speed or dynamics feel natural

    The Pharaoh’s Revenge

    Thanks Ezequiel, glad you like it. One thing I have noticed is how many ideas get discarded before the end result is made. At the minute my idea that went intro-riff-verse-chorus-verse-chorus-riff-solo-riff Now goes Intro-riff (as verse then chorus)- new verse-chorus(underneath solo) and the...

    App to Slow the tempo (?)

    Haven’t tried it yet but DAWs usually have tempo plugins or the ability to slow down what is being played
