    my rhythm sucks what can i do

    Adding on to this - you may wanna get someone else to hear it and help give some inputs too! The mistake most of us tend to make is having that ego of "i'm right and no one can tell me i'm wrong", but in actually fact, there are times people can hear what we can't or haven't heard. Cheers...

    Duet with me - A7X style!

    Hey Synners! I'm looking to doing dual harmonizing solos or full song covers with you guys! Preferably A7X songs - but if you have other dual guitar songs in mind, like BVB, BFMV, etc., let me know too! I'll take care of the split-screen editing & etc.! Looking forward to have some fun during...

    Seize the Day Ending/Bat country "Sweep"

    Hahahah i totally get what you mean bro! I spent quite a fair couple of weeks to figure out if i prefer to sweep or alt pick for bat country. Alt pick's tiring but powerful, sweep is smooth but requires more focus and control.

    Seize the Day Ending/Bat country "Sweep"

    Based on how I've tried both solos, because of the speed of the sweeps, it's kinda wiser to use the "alternate picking" because the notes aren't going as fast. Using sweep picking, especially on a song like Bat Country, may make you have the tendency to go too fast, thus alternate picking helps...

    Seize the Day Ending/Bat country "Sweep"

    Yup, it's alternate picking. You can experiment with both sweep and alt, then you'll get a better understanding as to why he used such technique. I'd say that for the case of Bat Country and Seize the Day, it's probably considered the "lower tier" of sweep picking, as compared to sweeps like in...

    Burned out

    REST! Rest is also part of the practice routine! It applies to everything, not just guitar :) Once in a while, we need a break! Take it as if you have a "rest" bar in the scoresheet hahah. That's why schools have lunch breaks, that's why work have off days, that's why we humans need to sleep...

    Seize the Day Ending/Bat country "Sweep"

    Based on those two videos, seems like alternate picking. I've tried doing both solos with sweep and alternate picking. Sweep picking has a smoother movement obviously, but has the likelihood of notes crossing/overlapping if you don't control the muting on both hands well, whereas alternate...

    Syn’s Tip Riffs for Pedal Contest Entry - Muz Malek

    Hey Synners! Came up with this cool little piece, inspired by lesson 101 & 102 - Harmonic Minor & Phrygian Dominant scale, featuring "Shepherd of Fire"! Recycled drums from Shepherd of Fire, because I don't have the resources to create my own track(budget). The main/intro melody utilizes the...

    Floyd Rose 1500 series

    Hey Synners! As far as I know, the Floyd Rose 1500 so far has been very exclusive to only Schecter Guitars, with the exception that Jackson has one too but only on the Jeff Loomis signature(he probably wanted to bring it over when he made the switch). I've been trying to contact both...

    Intermediate Find that Chord!!

    You translated the page to English, right? Don't worry. It doesn't mean anything. It's probably an auto full-stop or something when translated from German to English.

    Intermediate Find that Chord!!

    Hey Synners! I'm not sure if anyone had shared this before, but I came across this really cool website where it allows you to find out the name of the chord that you play on the guitar just by selecting the frets & open strings, and so on. Check it out right here! >> Chord Analyzer Once...
