    You worked for it, you earned it, and you're ready for it. As @Brian Haner Sr. says, bring a little "fuck you" with you.

    Guitar CAGED question

    For clarity to people studying this, the importance is knowing the shapes and how to apply them, both to chord fragments and lead or melodic lines. There should be no expectation of trying to play the G shape in the second position (A Maj). That's not what it's about. If I tried to do that - at...

    Really clean work, and a nice tone for it!

    Overview of The CAGED System – Lesson 23

    Yes. There are many threads about it on the forum. No ETA, but it's a lot of work.

    Difference in the 12 keys

    I certainly wouldn’t argue with Dime, but I’d bet he was fucking around when he said that.

    Difference in the 12 keys

    To answer the question, I don’t think so. It only changes in relation to other keys your song may also be in. But an entire song in Dm is not going to impart different feelings that it would if it was in Cm or Em. More often than not, such key changes are done to accommodate a vocalists range or...

    Rebuilding old skills?

    So, here, the muscle memory is there, but the dexterity (speed and accuracy) is out of practice. Start with some warm-up exercises and then work into the bits you know how to play, only do it slower until it's fully under your fingers again.

    Are you really quoting Spinal Tap for a legit question? 😝

    hail to the king solo

    The first quick ascending line is a 3-1-3 economy-picked passage. There's a lesson for it, once we get the videos working again with our new host. Until then, you can still review it and pick up the technique. https://synner.com/lessons/economy-picking-the-3-1-3-pattern-lesson-78.78/

    Playing guitar recently

    Might depend on how you're playing the chords. Dammit features a C-G-A-F progression for the verses. If you play the C and G in the 3rd position, the A in the open position, and the F in the 1st position, they're very close together and you can move from one to the other with reasonable speed...

    does the synyster helwin ir work on my mooer ge200?

    I spoke to this in another thread, my apologies. I stand RE-corrected. The WAV files I had for these I made with a conversion tool, and they don't work properly. As of now, these cab IRs are *only* for the AxeFX line, and I don't see that changing in any official way any time soon.

    Question

    Absolutely! Electric or acoustic, standard tuning on both is the same, so chords, scales, etc, still relate. Additionally, if you progress on an acoustic, it will feel a LOT easier when you do transition back to electric.

    Rest of the year shaping up nicely. Got the Deathbats gathering in HB on Halloween weekend, then Trivium with BTBAM a week later, and then the Trinity of Terror (INK, BVB, Motionless in White and Atreyu) first week of December. Booyah!

    I have no idea why, but this was in my head this morning, and I had to rock out to it.

    Hello all!

    Hey Randy! 52 and I got a bass from the same dumpster. Recorded some old demos with it. If it works, it works. Welcome aboard!

    Synyster tattoos

    Used to, at least. I *think* Syn has quit smoking, but yes, that's what those finger tats are all about. Not sure on anything else.
