    The scene that always cracks me up to no end is when they find Uncle Waldo and he's shitfaced drunk 😂 The bit where he goes 'WHOOPEEE!' (1:55) 😂

    Bear Necessities will always be a banger! And you just reminded me of the bit in Aristocats where they jazz so hard the piano falls through every floor of their house :ROFLMAO:

    The Harmonic Minor Scale - Lesson 101

    It's definitely one of the key flavors to the Avenged sound. I noticed Syn seems to use Phrygian Dominant type motifs when he's doing his live solo breaks - it's so clever cause they don't sound like typical cliche cheesy metal Phrygian dominant leads :love: one of my favorite things about his style

    good amp settings For metal or rock

    Right enough! A lot of the time I end up doubling back myself on the gain, cause it gets a bit mushy sounding :LOL: I'd recommend playing around with some compression if you're looking for that kinda tone, it was the kinda eureka effect for me when doubled with gain to get the sound I was...

    good amp settings For metal or rock

    A good Metal sound can depend on a few things - The way I tend to get a sort of A7X like tone is - (this is with my Strat) : 1. Bridge pickup on guitar 2. A decent amount of Gain but not drowning in it - maybe about 3oclock position? 3. Half way on Mids 4. Half way on Treble 5. a bit less than...
