    Solo Trouble

    The youtube comments section is like Chernobyl. Toxic and uninhabitable for at least 20,000 years. Just ignore it because most of the people are just jealous that you can do such an amazing thing and they can’t.

    Dan Shipway's riff from October 4, 2018 at 3:59 pm

    It is out of sync but I didn’t have a backing track on hand. I will redo the same solo to a backing when I have a bit more time free.

    Big advice

    I completely agree, I wanted to be just like Syn and other players but it just wasn’t for me, I could never be like them because I wasn’t them. Tone is 95% in the hands and even if you do play like your idols you will just be ‘a copy’ of them whereas if you spend time developing your feel and...

    Thanks Ekrem, I just felt like lots of people were sharing really good advice and being really helpful so it is just my way of giving back to the school what they have given to me!

    As long as it isnt software that is designed to be imported in then in theory yes, hopefully it will be a post axe fx addon

    Need Help With Ghost Notes!!

    Damn this is really helpful, I tried and am still trying to learn the first solo in Our New World by Dream Theater and the first 2 notes were a bitch to play. I never fully grasped what they are but this is a great explanation. Cheers Jak!

    HELP! What do I do? My hand shits on me when I do economy picking

    You might want to check my thread for tips but a lot of it is to do with the sweeping aspect, arm movement is everything is everything and once you can do that everything falls into place.

    The minor pentatonic scale series

    Hey guys, I thought I would do a thread to talk about the way I solo this is not something that is too hard to learn and it will give a good foundation and provide motivation to people who are uninspired or have never solo’d before. Let me know what could be changed and if you have anything...

    Favourite syn solo?

    Its not really a solo but the intro to save me. Those dive bombs are just everything😂 would love to nail it at some point

    Solo Trouble

    I cant really make a video but here is another one of the most important things when soloing. Use the pentatonic. SERIOUSLY, this scale although sometimes bland can be a huge help for people struggling and it allows for so much inflection. All the notes work well with each other and it requiers...

    Tips on how to get better at playing fast triplets / "galloping"

    For me its all about having lots of control and playing it tight. Essentially it is alternate picking but sticato like. If you want I can send some videos across to play along to and give advice through PM?

    Solo Trouble

    Can’t really do a video as I am pressed for time but the main point I consider is Don’t run before you can walk A lot of solos sound amazing and they are something that millions of aspiring guitar players want to learn but when you delve into the heart of the solos, they are bitches and learning...
