I recently came across this fake Synyster Gates guitar that initially had PG and I fooled until Syn confirmed it was fake. I figured it would be a good idea to share this here so people can reference it in case they come into this situation.
As soon as you see it, you're probably thinking "Of...
Looks and sounds right to me. Just apply more pressure for more of a mute, less pressure for less of a mute, and use your hand to stop the note for a tighter and shorter “chug” if that’s what you want
Update on this, unfortunately I won’t have anything on here tomorrow. I was supposed to go see one of Avenged Sevenfold’s longtime engineer/producer today but we had to reschedule. So hopefully I’ll have some stuff soon
I had this happen before, I think the issue was there was a sharp piece of metal or something sharp somewhere on the hardware that was causing it to snap. I took it to get looked at by a professional and he fixed it
Just wondering if anyone has any personal experience comparing the SD Invader pickups that used to come in Syn models vs. his newer custom set pickups. The only thing I can really find is that Syn's new pickups have a little more output than the Invaders. There's an EQ graph for the Invaders on...
I just checked out Import Music and converted the prices to USD, and those prices are crazy. Much higher than here, but I guess that's due to the import price and all that. I think you're best bet is ordering a guitar from a different country on Reverb. Here is a link that'll show you all the...
You can't just put a Floyd Rose on a guitar that doesn't have one, you would need to cut out a hole in the guitar to place it, install a cavity in the back for springs, add a locking nut etc. It would cost less to buy a guitar with a Floyd Rose
Where do you buy guitars from in Argentina? Do you...
Hey Ezequiel, how long have you been playing guitar, what kind of guitar(s) do you have now? If you’re newer to guitar and have an entry level guitar, this will probably be a good step up for you. If you’ve been playing for quite a while and are used to mid range guitars, it might not be what...
For the same price you can probably get a used Peavey Vypyr (which are excellent for the price point in my opinion) on craigslist or offerup or something like that. I don't think you'll be too happy with the Fender Frontman overall and you'll probably outgrow it not too long after you get it.
I've been playing for almost 15 years and will still get tripped up every now and again when crossing strings and alternative picking. But that's because I don't practice as much as I should lol.
First, I would try small things like what size pick you're using, and the shape. Some people like...
One more thing I'll add to all of this is that while the Riff section may be dying out, there's still a lot of students receiving help and feedback on the Forums. A big portion of guitar is mental aside from physical, and people would rather type out what they don't understand mentally than make...
