    Sheet music broken on Lesson videos.

    It's not working for anyone. It's a site issue. As Alex says, they're workin on it! :)

    Guitar Basic Tools for Guitar Maintenance?

    Working frets and carving in a new bridge are very advanced, precision tasks. I do a lot of my own work, but I wouldn't even THINK about those two.

    Guitar Basic Tools for Guitar Maintenance?

    Most of the examples you give are not things I would recommend to the untrained, but there are good tools to have. String winder Cutting Pliers Set of Allen Keys (usually metric, but may depend on your brand of guitar) 0000 Steel Wool (can be used sparingly to clean a REALLY gunked up...

    Two New Chords – E & Am – Lesson 13

    Some of the Bee Gee's chicka-chicka wah wah stuff, or the theme from Shaft. Lots of disco.

    Two New Chords – E & Am – Lesson 13

    A lot of reggae guitar is like this - no real downstroke and an upstroke that predominantly hits the treble strings only.

    Two New Chords – E & Am – Lesson 13

    There are NO hard and fast rules. Seriously. I remember an ad in the 80s for GIT with bass god Billy Sheehan, featuring a quote from the man - "You have to know the rules before you can break them!" Of course, it WAS an ad for a guitar school, so of course they're going to say that, but it...

    Guitar Legato Newbie Question

    You gotta walk before you run. If you're just learning legato, do single string triplets first, then 3-1 (three notes on one string, then 1 note on the next string up or down (do both)), then gradually grow it out. For the triplets, cover the major patterns, for example on the 5th fret, you'd...

    Help

    It's not you, it's us. We had an issue with our video host in the latter part of 2022, and while we've gotten the videos back and up, getting it synced to the SoundSlice is another chore. We're waiting on our IT peeps to git 'er done! Sorry about that!

    Take your time and enjoy the process

    On that last point (they're all great, but I want to comment on the last one), I have never felt liberated more, perhaps in my entire life, than when I got my first modeler, a PodHD 500 and could play silently whenever I wanted. It was a brand new life. One of the biggest reasons I'm an AxeFX...

    Guitar Legato Newbie Question

    First, let's clarify some language to alleviate confusion. Ascending refers to moving from lower notes to higher notes, thicker to thinner strings. I know it runs counter to where the strings are in relation to the ground while you hold the guitar, but it's intended to line up with notes going...

    Any singers out there?

    If you want singing that sounds like two cats fucking in the street getting hit by a car, I'm your guy. Otherwise, it will need to be someone else.

    syns guitar pedal

    No, but at this point I would expect any hardware release to be timed with the album release, IF POSSIBLE. It might be later.

    Guitar Guitar tone

    You work with the tone you can get, because aiming for the tone you can't is only an excuse to not turn on the record light. I do think it's usable for demo purposes.

    Guitar Guitar tone

    The only thing explicitly wrong with that tone is that you don't like it. You could hear that tone on any number of records, just maybe not an A7X record. If you're trying to get more A7X tone, try a different amp model in your plugin. Something similar to a 5150 or a Deizel or something. I'n...

    Tuning a guitar with floyd rose

    This is LONG, but it's a thorough explanation of what the Floyd is and how it works, in addition to changing strings and tuning.

    Tuning a guitar with floyd rose

    I made a LONG video about this on a Livestream in an earlier version of SynTV, but it was lost in the migration that happened at the end of the year. I'll see if I I did similar on YouTube and share the link. If not, I think that might be something to tackle on my first SynTV livestream of the...

    My first portrait of 2023

    This is nice work. I *might* have been a fan of MIW, but the night I went to Trinity of Terror, Chris was sick, and MIW didn't play. I did enjoy getting familiar with their material before the show, though.

    Happy New Year! Check up.

    I finally put my ego in check and allowed someone to push me to go WAY farther back to basics than I ever would have thought was necessary, and that's made a LOT of my hand sync click. I still have a lot of work to build up the speed again, but I'm doing things I was never able to before, and...
