    Finger pain and skin peeling

    Its pretty normal to be honest with you, everyone goes through it but overtime your fingers will get used to it, my skin peels after many years but its not too much of a problem. It’s like they say “No pain, no gain”.

    AMP suggestion

    To be honest there have been big advancements in computer plugins, all you need is a 1/4″ to USB lead and you are set.

    How do you get a rammstein style sound?

    Good lord haha, that is a seriously good tone, has a nice bite to it, I will definitely look around for options as the axe fx isn’t something i have considered.

    How do you get a rammstein style sound?

    I have been listening to lots of Rammstein lately and I really want that guitar sound. I can’t really describe it but it has a razor like attack and has lots of weight behind it. Does anyone know what they are using or how it can be done on a budget? As always, any help is appreciated.

    Video With Stretches For Guitarists/Carpal Tunnel Courtesy of My Singer

    I think it is sorted now, my position of the right arm was odd which lead to difficult movement but I have played it quite a few times with minimal to no pain.

    Any tips on reducing arm pain, its not bad in my wrists but at the elbow joint I get lots of pain while playing certain riffs, Is this to do with playing or muscles? It mainly occurs when I play the extended intro to du hast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV6x2Ctk6CI

    I need help

    move all of it down by 1 fret, as long as you are able to practice the muscle memory then the chords and melody will be easier 🙂 \M/

    Ask Papa Gates.

    How do I incorporate the Floyd rose or sustainiac into my playing because I am saving for a syn custom and I want to make full use of all the features but I wish to do it in a musical way. Thanks for all you and Syn have done for us on the site!

    Writing songs without good music theory knowledge

    Every riff I have ever written is with absolutely 0 music theory. I wrote one and i turned around to my guitar teacher and said it was in f major. It turns out it was in e flat major. What i tend to do is play the first note of the chords and see what scale they lie in. So yes it is possible.
