    Battery for sustaniac?

    Settle down and be respectful. NOT everyone knows that, and your disrespect is not helping. Perhaps more details in your question would have helped. I thought that's what you were asking too, and I *guarantee* I've been playing longer than you. I don't think brand matters. Eric Johnson created...

    Remy’s Workshop Ep. 2 - Gear Discussion

    The replay is worth watching, but you have to skip ahead about 20-25 minutes because Remy went through his whole presentation with no active mic. Once you skip ahead, it's a great show!

    Guitar Simulation Solo HELP

    Yeah, Syn did say clearly in the recent Trax podcast that ALL parts of all of his solos are planned out, so that was done deliberately.

    No. They've been around for several decades, offered as options in many different guitars and also sold individually for custom installation. Even today, Schecter has many non-Syn models that come with a Sustainiac in the neck position, even though his current signature models don't come with...

    Guitar Springs on guitar

    Matter of personal preference and feel. At least 3 with those strings, but 4 if you want a firmer feel on the bar. Either way, you want to make sure the bridge is parallel to the top of the body when the guitar is perfectly in tune, and that would be managed by the two screws holding the...

    Syn gates thred

    Well, Michelle has largely been responsible for his look through the years, and she's solidly fashionable and trendy, so I doubt we're gonna see the look from 20 years ago on 40+ year old Syn. But you never know!

    R.I.P Taylor Hawkins

    For me, it just hits when someone younger than me, with a younger marriage and family than me, passes away and leaves that all behind. It's tragic, and by all accounts, he was a solid human and definitely a respected drummer. Shocking.

    The Rad Synner Show #3 - Hector Trejo

    I listened to the whole album earlier, and I am truly beside myself. I haven't enjoyed an instrumental guitar album this much since Passion and Warfare in 1991, I think. Hector is a truly gifted musician, strong songwriter, and a monster guitar player. That "Goblins" has so much Danny Elfman...

    The Rad Synner Show #3 - Hector Trejo

    I've got a busy day, but I hope to be there. Hector is not just a great guitar player, he's a wonderfully talented MUSICIAN, and what I've heard of this album so far bears that out. Can't wait to hear the rest this morning and follow it up with some Hector and Rad time tomorrow!

    Take a break, have a meme

    Last night for BTBAM, I was in my usual place - near the front of the "fans" section.

    Hi, my name is Amadeus

    I'm old. When I see this thread, I can only think of this. This song was HUGE in the US in the early 80s. Welcome, Amadeus!

    Important PSA for All Tube Amp Lovers

    AxeFX has virtual tubes that are always optimized and never wear out. Just sayin... (My MT-15 doesn't get enough use to wear the tubes out)

    Reverse Bend Tips

    It looks like you're needing to do a pull-off, but that's a stylistic choice, and a pull-off is not MANDATORY for that kind of thing - you can pick that last note OR do a pull-off. Now, a pull-off is not just lifting the finger off. That finger has to tug the string a little bit and almost...

    Battery on sun valley schreder

    Active pickups ALWAYS require batteries that work. Whenever a cable is plugged into the output jack, the battery is powering the pickups. I've had batteries last six months or more, but it depends on how much you play it and whether you forget to unplug it from time to time. When the battery...

    Any avenged sevenfold concerts or festivals in 2022/2023?

    Agreed, CoE has been my favorite A7X album since it came out (and one of my all-time favorites ever - no small feat at my age) and The Stage is the first album by ANYONE that surpassed it.

    Reverse Bend Tips

    So you're fretting the note at the 5th fret, but bent up a whole step to the equivalent of the 7th fret note (for example, bending an A up to a B), picking it, and then having an issue releasing the bend smoothly to get back to the A note?

    Obligatory "Lets Talk About the New Ghost Album" Thread

    Great write-up. I feel like Ghost started out in a late 60s/early 70’s Alternate timeline as a Blue Oyster Cult offshoot, and what I’m starting to realize is that they’re moving forward through time from there. I felt like some of the recent albums had strong danceable beats almost like a lot of...
