    Hello my fellow musicians

    Welcome, Avery!

    Welcome, Alex! You are being quite modest. You have succeeded far more than most musicians. You just haven't made that "last step" to world-wide recognition yet - which I'm sure you will. All of the valuable knowledge and experience you are willing to share here will no doubt help the students...

    Yeah. A simple metronome by itself would be an easy install. We have a great team!

    Hey Alex! This is a GREAT idea that Syn and I have discussed before. We are on iteration 4 of the school and it just wasn't a priority. We have also talked about incorporating a virtual amp/pedal setup (with metronome) that you can plug into and practice without leaving the site. Inevitably...

    The book? It's out of print - and I don't have any copies. My publisher went out of business. The good news is that the rights reverted back to me so I can print it myself now. The bad news is I haven't done that yet. lol. Lemme see if I can round you up a copy.

    Introduction to Crossover Picking – Lesson 38

    Great advice Dom! Practicing clean is good to make sure you are executing it properly. And then practicing with distortion to apply it to the "real world" and clean up your muting, etc.

    Hi Alex, The Harmonic minor (Lesson 101) description should be: In this video, we look at the Harmonic minor Scale, it's modes and chord family. Thanks! pg

    The Seven Positions of a Major Scale – First Position – Lesson 52

    Great advice. It also applies to soloing. Hear it before you play it!

    Custom Bogner Amp used on CoE, Self Titled, and more AMA

    Another amp with a completely unique sound. Absolutely loved that amp! I remember using this on the crunch rhythm part of Seize the Day on COE with a Les Paul.

    Papa Gates' Schecter Hellwin Amp AMA

    I appreciate you starting this thread, Alex. We always get a ton of questions about it and frankly, I just never used mine enough to be an authority on the subject. I would add this - whatever the Hellwin started as, it certainly didn't end up the same. Syn and James spent months on it, and...

    Melody & Motif - Lesson 2

    YES! It was based on an Altered Scale - which is the 7th mode of the Melodic Minor. Definitely on the jazzy side.

    Happy Halloween!

    This was a vid from about 10 years ago - when I was getting paid to be silly. Probably one of my better songs - at least harmonically. I poke a little fun at A7X (which they are always gracious about). I always liked this solo. I tried to emulate Syn (as best I can. lol). So it starts tasty, has...

    Congrats to everyone involved! Literally brought tears to my eyes. I'm so proud of you all!!!!

    Double tracking and timing issues

    Firstly, make sure you have practiced what you are trying to play until it is exactly the same every time you play it. A trick I use is to record a track - let's say rhythm guitar. Then turn OFF that track and record another one exactly the same. I play better and more "in the groove" if I CAN'T...

    A WAKE-UP CALL TO SHY BEGINNERS!!!: Please, DON'T BE AFRAID TO SHOW YOUR MISTAKES

    YES Mariler!!! This is the kind of post that brings tears to my eyes. Our dream for this school was to build a community where players could come, share what they know and learn from each other. Our videos were merely a base of operation. A jumping off place. I love to see players of all...

    What are you currently listening to?

    I've always admired the (rare) player who comes along and sounds different than EVERYBODY else. Edge is a perfect example. If you're looking for a Hendrix, Van Halen, shred-guitar hero - he's not that guy. He used/uses his guitar like an orchestra. He doesn't ask himself how the part relates to...
