    Still struggling with the Axe FX II

    Sounded good to me too. Try adding a bass or drum track along with it and see if you still notice what your hearing. All I could really hear was a faint picking noise.

    Introduction to Crossover Picking – Lesson 38

    Right on. I can definitely feel the difference in articulation now that I'm paying attention.

    Introduction to Crossover Picking – Lesson 38

    I kind of do both, depending on what I'm playing. Lead stuff is naturally economy style, but heavier rhythm riffs I seem to alternate consistently. What do you think about exercises and development wise? I feel like I should relearn all of the Alternate picking etudes to perfect that cross...

    Introduction to Crossover Picking – Lesson 38

    Ugh, I just realized that I have always naturally economy picked licks like this. Time to roll back the metronome and start over.

    Synyster Gates Custom S Questions

    There are 2 pots you can adjust on the control board for the sustainiac. One controls how fast the pickup works once the switch is on(intensity). I think the other is labeled as a volume or gain pot. If you adjust the height, getting it too close to your strings may make it cause microphonic...

    Favourite A7X song at the moment for y'all?

    Yea for sure, that was my favorite track off of the album for awhile. It's still a close second to The Stage, that song is just too much of a masterpiece.

    Long-ass Guitar Confession/Practice Advice Needed :)

    I'd asked other guitarists before "what songs do you know" " do you know this or that" and they would kind of scoff and answer "nah, I do originals." That used to be really intimidating. I realize now that musicians like that probably had some kind of formal teaching or lessons. Now instead of...

    Long-ass Guitar Confession/Practice Advice Needed :)

    I'd like to hear song writers opinions on this too. I think I've been stuck in the same pattern as you. Spent years trying to play covers rather than learning technique and theory. I wish this school was around years ago when I started. The direction and focus has helped tremendously. I think...

    I'm really into Set me Free right now too. The riff at 4:10🔥🔥

    Learning new riff...technique advice

    I went through these same steps too, I did notice the sound getting much louder when my kitchen light was on, it has a dimmer switch. Also it changed a bit when the AC runs. Try plugging the guitar straight into the amp and turn the effects loop off before you run through all of the pedals...

    Learning new riff...technique advice

    No worries, that's what we all thought too at first. It's the strangest thing and you can't hear it at all while playing.

    Learning new riff...technique advice

    I've plugged my entire rig into the exact same amp and didn't get that noise. And I dont get it on my halfstack. It's weird because its so identical to the one in her video. Boss katana is a solid state amp?

    Learning new riff...technique advice

    Side question, my tube amp makes that same humming/static noise. Anybody know what causes it?

    Learning new riff...technique advice

    You could try just using that little riff as your own alternate picking excercise. Played to a metronome of course. 😬 Love the song too, one of the first ones I tried to learn.

    Return of the Son of Shooga Googa Goonga

    Lol nice. Sounded almost like Primus a few times. Was this a hidden track type of thing? I miss those on CDs.
