    The Phrygian Mode – Lesson 62

    Thank you, you as well. This definitely helps. It's finally clicking as to how the scale shapes are interchangeable within the modes.

    The Phrygian Mode – Lesson 62

    If we're using the Phrygian mode in E minor, are we borrowing notes from the C major scale?

    Concerns about my Syn Custom S

    Try turning them clockwise, one of them is a volume knob for the pickup.

    Concerns about my Syn Custom S

    Did you try adjusting the pots on the sustaniac board, underneath the rear cover. 2 little blue knobs that are easy to miss. You'll need a small Philips head to adjust them.

    Help with Guitar Pro 7.5

    I read pro tools instead of GP lol. Ids is right about the sound banks, make sure you have the real sound engine ones downloaded and installed or try clicking off the RSE option in the Sound pull down.

    Help with Guitar Pro 7.5

    Do you currently have an audio interface plugged in? Usually you have to go into the settings with a DAW and setup up your input and output/playback devices. I haven't used pro tools in awhile so I cant picture it. But there should be an audio interface setup somewhere in the program itself...

    Legato I

    For my own clarification, this is a F major/D minor scale played over a G minor chord?

    Pickup problem

    I spray mine directly into the switch from outside the guitar, while switching it back and forth. It doesn't take much.

    Which guitarists inspired you to start playing guitar?

    A friend of mine started jamming riffs from Aenima. It blew my drunk mind. Bought a guitar a few days later. Seeing Syn live at a festival got my to start taking it serious some years later.

    Pickup problem

    Try spraying some electric contact cleaner into your pickup selector switch. Mine does this too. Just dirty contacts.

    Adapting scales for drop tuning.

    Shit man, that's it. I'm always overthinking stuff like this and it's as simple as that. Match the 6th string to the 4th. Thanks dude. 🤘

    Hard tail guitar for down tuning

    Can you describe the feel of the fender you prefer? Is it the weight, the neck width, scale length or fret size? Figure out what you like about the feel of the fender compared to the Gibson and use that as your search parameters. Sound wise, you could try a fixed bridge guitar that has coil...

    Adapting scales for drop tuning.

    How do you all visualize and adapt your scales when switching to a drop tuning? I do 99 percent of my practicing in standard tuning, but play and write in a drop tuning. Typically I just ignore the low string when it comes to scales, but it feels limiting. The low string for chords and riffs and...

    Roast me! Aka, I don't know if I'm picking the right way..

    Right on, yea if it cramps, its too hard. I keep mine fluid and moving with my hand, just lightly grazing the guitar.

    I am struggling to find the desired tone from my guitar and amp. help.

    That's another thing I realized with tone guides. Or amp demos. Its really hard to find guides specific to modern metal. My dad is a blues guy and always gave me tips that ended up being pretty contradictory to what I was looking for with hard rock or metal.

    I am struggling to find the desired tone from my guitar and amp. help.

    Man, I thought the same thing about pickup selection for the longest time. It was my LP with the rhythm label right there on the switch. It wasn't until I saw a vid of Syn mentioning most of his solos were played on the sustaniac that I finally realized, and then started noticing Dime, Zakk and...

    Roast me! Aka, I don't know if I'm picking the right way..

    Was that noise in the background your metronome? I would just recommend slowing down a little bit and focusing on keeping it even. Not sure why everyone is against the pinky on the guitar now. I keep mine loosely touching the guitar as kind of a reference point, not anchored down though. Also...

    Still struggling with the Axe FX II

    Somedays things just sound weird. That mix sounds pretty fucking great to me though. I can hear both guitars pretty well. Personally I don't have a super discerning ear for the details like some do. Trying to learn how to tweak my own tone between live sound and recording sound. I've noticed a...
