    Solo Trouble

    Thanks Jak. I will do one on using Vibratos. (Just so that no one else ends up doing this and each one of us cover a different topic)

    Solo Trouble

    Wow Syn. Thanks for considering me as a pillar.You truly inspire me a lot. I have to really think of something brief, precise. I will try to come up with something I often use. Like Ids said, is there any deadline? Jak, I like your 1st 2 ideas. You will do a great job with any of them.

    Create Scales whenever you want

    Thanks Ids. I did not know that. Anyways, it’s a cool concept to use. Very challenging though.

    Create Scales whenever you want

    First: Why?? There are millions of scales out there and each one has it’s own mood, tricks etc. So you will never run out of new licks to discover that is for sure. BUT… sometimes it may be daunting. The fact that there is sooooo much to learn may be not so exciting always. And trust me, when...

    Lost feeling when playing old riffs

    Ya, sometimes I do feel it. So what I do is, I try to change or modify those old riffs. See, You have learned a lot of things since you made those old riffs. Try to apply those new techniques to them. Maybe insert some harmonization. Some crazy bending here and there. Or a tasty pinch harmonic...

    What does Syn do in So Far Away?

    Ed, that was a very helpful article. Thanks man. Andrew, I loved those squeals in that solo. Sometimes it felt a bit overwhelming bit it was crisp.

    What does Syn do in So Far Away?

    Thanks Ed. I really did not think of the interpretation you came up with, about Syn cutting of the note. Ya, it makes perfect sense. It is surprising that, even after listening to a song 100 times, we can miss certain aspects of thought process of the artist behind the song.That was superb...

    What does Syn do in So Far Away?

    Wow, such wonderful insights. Thanks guys. So one thing is for sure, I can’t get this effect with my current guitar…a fender strat with rusty single coil pickups.

    What does Syn do in So Far Away?

    In the first half of the song, sometimes a note has a high pitched, shrieking tail end to it. It sounds like some artificial harmony but I am not sure. I really love that vibe, let’s say, the aftertaste of those notes in that solo. I am clueless about how to do it, how to bring out that tone...

    Noisy string bends

    I agree with Steven. That is a good tactic and has many other benefits as well. You can use a hair band kinda thing on the fret board towards the head stock. You might have seen guitarists using this to mute unwanted ringing

    Lessons

    Make a lesson on whatever you think do the best. It may be a certain lick, certain imrpov on scale, anything particularly you think you can do very well. That will be a good starting point.

    HELP ME WITH IMPROVISATION

    I do not know if what I do is the proper way or not. But first, in any chord progression, I try to find a minor and a major chord which are either in the progression, or matches with any chord in the progression (say I find a chord a G major but it G7 in the progression). Then start playing over...
