    Guitar Practice outside of Syn’s School

    Honestly, learning songs. It gives you a practical application of what you’re learning in the school And it gives you a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment. Plus jamming songs is just fun.

    We Love You (SPOILERS)

    Agreed. I love how it goes from one extreme to another and back again on a dime. They haven’t done anything as balls-out heavy as that bridge in decades. More more more more….

    Surprise Las Vegas show

    There was an enormous gaping hole in the experience schedule for Friday afternoon until Saturday afternoon. There was suspicion even before confirmation. 😁

    We Love You (SPOILERS)

    So... Who was on the Discord at 7am Pacific to hear the newest track from Life is but a Dream, "We Love You?" Thoughts?

    There are hundreds. This page should give you each of the subsections, of which "Fundamentals" is one. https://synner.com/lessons/

    Unusual way of playing

    The easiest way, honestly, is to either commit to it and work the fuck out of it, or change the thing that's holding you back. You can take the existing guitar and have it setup upside down (it will need a new nut unless it's a Floyd Rose locking nut) so you have an upside-down guitar strung...

    Goddamn, that’s awesome!

    Sum 41 disbanding

    That's kinda where I'm coming from. It's not really a breakup - they're retiring, which doesn't prevent any or all of them from moving on to other bands.

    Sum 41 disbanding

    So... they're breaking up... in about 2-3 years?

    We Love You

    A new single on that day would align with the Area15 Experience premiere in Vegas, so that makes sense. It's either about fans or NFTs. :-)

    Problems electronics

    Hi gain and high volume will ALWAYS make for microphonic feedback. After all, a pickup IS a microphone, albeit a very specialized one (and yes, on high gain if you scream into the pickup, it WILL come through your amp) Anyone anytime in a high volume high gain situation needs to be a master of...

    Scrollable Video/Video 1 not loading

    This is all fallout from the web host issues sometime ago. Video2 is the only one that works and, as you said, not entirely correctly. Syn and the web team are aware, but I'm afraid we don't have a target date for a fix. It is not you, it's us - the site is the problem.

    Alternate Tuning

    Mark and Myles have songs that are all over the place, but their default is typically Drop C# (Drop D down 1/2 step) D# A# F# C# G# C# Ultimate Guitar tabs can usually tell you what tuning is used. If there are multiple tunings on a studio recording, they just used multiple guitars to record...

    Harmonics

    First, he's a truly amazing guitarist with a beautiful touch and control. The technique itself is simple harmonics, but how he's doing it is different than how most use it or most learn it. If you notice, he's picking each string with thumb and middle or ring finger, and using the index...

    Are they performing the album before it comes out?

    I have not heard there would be a livestream. Do you have details or are you assuming/speculating/hoping?

    how do i play this or is there a tutorial somewhere on yt or this?

    This is a basic octave. On your fretting hand, use your index for the "5" note (D) and your ring finger or pinky for the "7" (also D, but one octave up). Lay your ring finger down a little bit so a teeny bit is touching the middle string to mute it. Then just strum or play it like a power...

    Are they performing the album before it comes out?
