    This has been bothering me

    Why is it so bad to not like something popular? For instance, I do not like the music of Queen. I have listened to their whole discography and I just don't like it. But when I tell someone that, I might as well have said I like to kick puppies because apparently that makes me uncultured swine...

    Some Life Advice - Be Proud Of Yourself

    By the way, clips of "Whose Line is it Anyway" always helps me when I'm depressed. It's hard to not feel a little bit better with that show on.

    Some Life Advice - Be Proud Of Yourself

    You have no idea how much I needed to read this right now. I've got an addiction that isn't chemical that is harming me. I'm working so hard every day not to relapse back into it. But god it's so hard. Thank you for sharing your story. This school really is a family. Much love. ❤️❤️❤️

    Webinar with Syn & PG

    Thanks to you, Syn, and the rest of the team for putting on a great webinar. That question I had about M.I.A. had been rolling around in my head for awhile and I was so happy to finally get an answer. Next time I'll hopefully have a webcam that isn't a potato and lighting that doesn't make me...

    THE ROYAL SCAM by Steely Dan

    Hey Syn and happy Friday. I'm stoked to see that Steely Dan is an AOTM. I heard Jimmy Page say that "Reelin' in the Years" was his favorite rock solo and that was all the endorsement I needed to give Steely Dan a shot years ago. This is the first time I'm hearing this album in it's entirety...

    2 octave scale tab

    Oh. Wonder why I didn't make that connection. Thanks PG. I'll go back to the lessons. Maybe I just blew through them too fast.

    2 octave scale tab

    Anyone have a link or suggestion to where I can find tab for 2 octave guitar scales? I know I can figure it out all by ear but I want to focus on helping my dexterity with scales rather than transcribing. Bonus if the tab covers all 12 (?) keys.

    What do you enjoy playing?

    When I'm taking a break from "Crimson Day" I like to play simple, 3 chord, country songs. A lot of George Strait.

    Comment by 'Iris' in media 'Crimson Day intro to chorus'

    I was wondering if I should be alternate picking. I don't want to get into bad habits so that's good to know that I should be alternate picking. Thanks.

    Crimson Day intro to chorus

    Please be honest because this sounds like dog shit to me. I've been working on this for weeks and haven't progressed past 48 bpm. Getting frustrated. Am I on the right track?

    Best webcam for recording?

    Anyone have any suggestions for a good webcam to record my guitar? The ones I'm finding say they are background noise canceling which makes me think it might not pick up my guitar well. Using my phone was fine except when I run my metronome app while recording the camera picks up the metronome...

    Down picking or alternate picking?

    What's the easiest way to pick "Crimson Day"? I'm having trouble getting a consistent sound and volume when I pick. And those 16th note runs sound clunky as hell when I'm downpicking. Does it matter how I pick or is it all just practice, practice, practice?

    Crimson Day intro to pre-chorus

    Crimson Day intro to pre-chorus with a few mistakes left in. Can't wait to get it up to speed and smooth out the chord changes so it sounds better. Right now it sounds so disconnected.

    Couple quick questions: How long do the webinars usually last and if we miss one, due to work or something, is there a replay we can access?
