    Synyster Gates tone (How he achieves his distortion)

    Thank you, Eduardo! There may have been a variation or two over the years that I'm not aware of, but as far as I know - that "iconic tone" was always amp gain. Any pedals were compression, chorus, eq, etc. Syn would obviously have the definitive answers. On the last album I know they...

    Synyster Gates tone (How he achieves his distortion)

    Early on, (COE, Self, Nightmare), it was a Bogner. No distortion pedals. Once he got the the Hellwin up and running he used that - also no distortion pedals. Just a Boss Compressor pedal. The Stage was a Hellwin (and no doubt some other amps as well). But he also used a ton of pedals for...

    Welcome! Go through the lessons. Skip the ones you know - but make sure you REALLY know them. It never hurts to go over something you know "pretty well". Even something as simple as the pentatonic scale. You start with a three-note arpeggio, then add two notes to make a pentatonic scale. Add two...

    Super saddened

    Wow! Three seems like a lot. Can't imagine what happened. Termites? Woodchucks? An Ibanez sleeper cell? Who knows?

    Our song made it on the radio!!!!

    Awesome! I remember hearing myself on the radio for the first time. I pulled up to a stop light and heard my voice coming from the car next to me. A surreal moment for sure. I wanted to yell, "HEY, THAT'S ME!" - but I didn't for two reasons: They wouldn't have believed me and I didn't want to be...

    The Major Scale – Lesson 7

    Not sure intervalic formula is all that important. The important thing is to be able to play the scale, (so you can pick notes from the scale). I don't really think about intervalic formula at all when I play. It would be like thinking about spelling when you talk. I might be thinking bigger...
