    whats your favorite a7x album?

    Nightmare for me because I remeber listening to Welcome to the family (my first and favourite song) and hearing the riff pounding and then the solo came in and it was like I found god. Not to mention songs like natural born killer and god hates us just for the relentless thrash.

    ANOTHER question for Syn or Papa Gates regarding weaknesses

    I just try to force something out or I just mess around with it, nothing is ever prepped for me I just find something that sounds great by mistake and then after that plan it out. The seed is forced and the plant just grows.

    ANOTHER question for Syn or Papa Gates regarding weaknesses

    I think of techniques as a melt in the middle dessert,You have the dessert itself which is the solo that you can enjoy but the melted chocolate in the middle is to top it all off. You can have a sponge cake on its own but you can’t have a plate of melted chocolate Does that make sense?

    Cheers mate, I play really aggressive to get a rammstein style attack but I think it may be beneficial to try out new styles to help.

    Question on wrist movement

    I have been playing guitar for quite a few years but I am starting to doubt myself, I find that i begin to question the amount of movement in my wrist because I feel like it isn’t very loose. I play quite a lot of rhythm so I have a decent amount of control but I am unsure if It is too much? I...
