    Synyster tattoos

    I know he swore he was going to get a lot of black line-art stuff because he didn't want to look "like a box of Skittles." He very much feels like they look like a box of Skittles. More than that, I couldn't tell you.

    App

    Officially, I don’t know, but guessing, I would say the app needs tweaks for the video changeover as well? Not sure why they’d remove it, but… @alexj ?

    How do you get your guitar tones

    I use the AxeFX, which is the single most inspiring gear I’ve ever purchased. Within that, I use the 5153 Red amp (5150 Mk III 100wt) and one of Syn’s 4x12 cab models (I think it’s the Hellwin, but it could be the Bogner). I have a wah dialed in to turn on automatically when I step on the...

    Guitar Chaning strings on a floating bridge

    That’s not the locking nut. That’s a “string tree,” and as others have said, leave it alone and slide the strings under it. The locking nut is the part below it where you removed the three Allen screws holding down three blocks that clamp over two strings each.

    Cover song for album, needs license?

    Additionally, the original songwriters get paid for that song on the album.

    My new guitar is buzzing

    Can you post some video? Need to hear it. Move up and down the neck playing notes all along it so I can hear everything.

    Let's Start Our Own Lessons! 💪🏻

    I'll repost some of the lesson-style videos I've done over the years. Here's the first - using a metronome.

    why am i missing lessons clips at and listed as a new student? My account is as old as the site is,

    Your videos are not gone from here, because this site never hosted student videos - EVER. We can only host LINKS to your videos, so if you can find them under your account on YouTube or wherever you shared them from, they are not lost. If I remember right, a lot of posts were lost in the...

    My new guitar is buzzing

    Okay, so your best first bet is to LOOSEN the truss rod 1/4 turn, then give it 24 hours to settle the wood and see if it’s better. Your truss rod is under the triangular plastic cover right next to the J in the Jackson logo on the headstock. Remove the cover and use the Allen key (or other...

    My new guitar is buzzing

    Might be a slight adjustment, but could also be a nut cut too low. Can you bring it to where you bought it or call them? There's a LOT of things it could be without being a manufacturing defect, which is unlikely. Does it buzz ONLY when you hit the open string? What about if you fret the first...

    Bad habits and frustrated

    Kindred spirit here, my friend. I am 52 and have been playing since I'm 14, off and on. I definitely know a lot of full songs, and have written my share as well. Also could be regarded as a pretty solid lead player, but where we converge is that LONG period of resting on bad habits and thinking...

    Coming here from JustinGuitar

    Hey Antto! Welcome! It's worth starting at lesson 1 in the beginner's section, just in case there's anything you missed over with Justin. Plus, you'll get better acquainted with Syn's dad, Papa Gates (@Brian Haner Sr.) Papa's got the most astounding pile of theory knowledge and other stuff...

    Hi guys! I just made an Avenged Sevenfold song style called "Madness", it's only made for fun, pls let me know what you think!

    Wow, this is fantastic. Song definitely has an A7X feel to it, and some of the soloing, I'd bet if Syn was listening, he'd be like, "Did I play this??" Really outstanding work, my friend!

    What are you currently listening to?

    I'm also listening to the audiobook of Brian Greene's "Until the End of Time," which Shadows recommended on his tweeter feed. I get a kick out of astrophysics. This is the guy, but NOT the audiobook:

    What are you currently listening to?

    I'm a few listens in on the new Slipknot, and so far, it's the album I've enjoyed the most since Vol 3. Slipknot are very hit and miss with me - especially when they stray away from melody in favor of more percussive sounds.

    Thank you all so much

    "Noise. Lots of loud noise." That's the cornerstone of metal right there!

    A Synyster Tale

    “Well, shit,” she thought. This is not how the day was supposed to go. It is what it is. She set about draining the blood and harvesting a handful of the organs, pausing to enjoy the delicacy that was a fresh pair of blue eyes. After that, she dragged the half-empty meat bag to the bathtub. She...
