    MAKING a Guitar

    Might be better to start with a pre fabricated kit, where you still build your own, but a lot of the machining work and stuff is already done.

    Getting down and nerdy 🤓

    I'd watch. My youngest used to do some stop-motion with lego sets and stuff. He stopped just when he was getting good at it.

    Syns Pentatonic Etudes Not Working

    Those particular ones we can't find the original videos for, to correct the SoundSlice. The web team is scouring for backup copies.

    If I had to guess (and I do), I'd say the string is pressed up against a metal pickup cover on the bridge pickup, so the "fretted note" sounds like the 55th fret or something.

    Ahh, the old 1-3-5. The bane of small hands everywhere. Your HAND is fine. Unless it hurts, your positioning is good. Where you're off - at least for TYPICAL fretting - is that most players find it easier to do that 1-3 with first and second fingers. Something about it being easier to reach...

    LIBAD Guitar...

    My workbench! I wish! Of all the Syn guitars out there, aside from some of the fancy one-offs like @Hector Trejo has, this is the only one I’d really want.

    Palm muting

    If you mean the ones circled in purple, they are screws, meant for adjusting the individual string/saddle height. These would be to help adjust the action, along with the truss rod.

    Palm muting

    You’re thinking about it all wrong. This is normal palm muting position for me. Bridge pickup.
