    Picking problem

    It's hard to say without seeing your picking style, maybe a short video of you playing slow then fast from this position may help with correct advice. Your explanation sounds like you have no issue with your hand 'floating' above the strings at slower tempos but as soon as you ramp up the speed...

    Comfortably Numb - 1st Solo

    Been working on this over the last couple of days, still needs a little polish but it is getting there. Nearly time to put on my big boy pants and have a go at the second solo.

    Quality Low Budget Acoustic Amp

    Hmm, maybe check out the Fender Acoustasonic? The 15 watt seems pretty affordable. I have never used a dedicated acoustic amp so can't offer advice from a personal perspective.

    ANNOUNCEMENT: Your Synner Team

    Not telling you guys what you should do, but maybe consider moving the flirting to DM's, this thread is 4 pages long now, 3 of those pages are off topic nonsense 😜 Anyway, congrats on the position Radu!

    how to tune octaves

    I am assuming you are talking about setting the intonation? If you are, it's a little more involved than a clean and string change, there are heaps of video tutorials out there that will walk you through the process though. As for tuners, if you are looking for free app types, while I have...

    Amp Settings

    I haven't used the amp before, but if I was to make some suggestions they would be; - less is more with gain, gain at 10 won't make your tone 'moar metal' it just makes things noisy - don't over-do the bass, enough to get a nice chug but to much will get muddy - use your mids! I would...

    Sounds great, awesome work! For your string noise question, I will direct you to Uncle Ben........

    Nice, sounds great! You raise a good point, sometimes if you find yourself struggling or hitting a wall, stepping back and focusing on the fundementals can pay off big time.

    What are you currently listening to?

    I have lost count how many times I have listened to this song, but added around another half dozen yesterday. I still get goosebumps listening to it. May be time to actually have a crack at learning the solos myself (I apologise in advance David).

    Comment by 'Adin Shepherd' in media 'Progress Check 1 - C Maj Scales, Am Pentatonic, Song Progress'

    I would suggest spending a little time each day learning the the notes on the fretboard regardless of what else you are learning at the time. You could also incorporate some technique practice into your scale practice, as an example play through the positions with alternate picking, starting...

    Comment by 'Adin Shepherd' in media 'Random bullshit'

    Hey, some of the greatest riffs ever were brought to life through 'random bullshit'.

    Not at all, in fact your videos are the kind I like to see on the riff page. Videos showing progress or cool new stuff you have learned to do. The 'show off' stuff, I believe, is aimed more at those that occasionaly drop into the site to leave their latest polished cover with links to their...

    I am not sure if this is something that can be set up, but is it possible to add tags to riff titles? I ask because Jak was saying she has had feedback that people have posted to the riff page asking for help but received none. Perhaps the riffs in question are getting lost among the covers...

    If somebody drops a riff, and it isn't obvious self promotion of their social media accounts, I will watch it and leave a reaction. If somebody drops a riff and requests feedback or help with an issue I will comment if I have useful advice. If it's another Seize The Day solo cover I usually...

    Syn Standard tuning issues

    Yup, what @A.C. said. Floyd floating trems do just that, float. They have two pivot points they rest on and the balanced tension between the springs and strings are what holds it level. Change the tension on either end everything is thrown off. They do not lend themselves well to tuning changes.

    What would your custom Shop guitar look like?

    Hmm, honestly I have never really thought about it before. A quick 'off the top of my head'..... ESP Custom Baritone, 24 frets (stainless steel), neck through design, ebony board (no inlays), locking tuners, Evertune bridge and Fishman Moderns in the neck and bridge. As for the finish, it would...

    Palm Muting: easy songs to practice this technique?

    For Whom The Bell Tolls by Metallica, easy chuggy power chord progressions, along with some switching between palm muted and non palm muted chords (important to practice too).
