    How do I get the guitar effect at the end?

    That looked like bass guitar feedback on the bottom, and either a modulating effect on the guitar that had the rate turned down at the end, or maybe a synth.

    Syn Satin vs Gloss

    Agreed, Schecters feel great on both. I've got one of their bolt on Avengers and it plays and feels great. My 2 set-in Avengers are my favorite by far though. Is your LP a Gibson?

    Getting a Syn tone.

    A tube screamer in the front end helps. A high gain tube amp. And I think he dials in more highs and mids to cut through the two guitar mix. I had read or saw a video mentioning he likes to use a compressor too. Beyond that, a 10 band eq and maybe another pedal with resonance and presence...

    Syn Satin vs Gloss

    I've got both and definitely prefer set-in necks with a satin finish. Your post is slightly confusing. Bolt-on vs. set-in neck? Or Satin vs, gloss finish?

    Sweep Picking VII

    It looks like the second notes at the top are pulled off. If you use the same technique from sweep 1. That's how I've been playing them.

    Three finger power cords

    Same, I use two fingers for standard power chords and one for drop tuned power chords. Have you tried laying your index over the strings more like a bar chord?

    To lift the finger or to not lift the finger?

    What he said, stay in position but fret the notes individually to keep it clean.

    Standard Tuning Rhythms

    The Offspring have some cool rhythms in standard. Gone away and The kids Aren't alright are a couple I used to jam.

    SO EXCITED for the new Epiphone Line Up

    I have 2 cheapo epiphone special 2s that play surprisingly great for 80 each. Pawn shop specials. Looking forward to seeing Adam Jones's custom Gibson LP this year hopefully.

    What should I practice?

    Try to find solos you enjoy that have a video lesson online too. Those helped me being able to see how people pull off some of the licks. Certain bends used to hold me up because I would do them wrong. Once you learn how those tricks are done, learning by ear and improving parts gets easier.

    Advice on Tube Amp? (I'm looking to upgrade my old amp)

    I've been running a Marshall DSL100HR into a 4x12 Marshall cab and have loved it. The DSL series is pretty decent for more affordable tube amps. The DSL40 combo is great too. Great cleans on both and the ultra gain channel is great with an OD in front and an EQ in the chain.

    struggling bending/vibrateo (with example video)

    The first part of your bends sound pretty ok, I think the part you should work on is the release of the bend. Try to either release the bend faster or play a different note in place of the release. Also, that problem with the strings catching your fingernail. We're taught to keep our fingers...

    Where do you practice?

    You’ve got a chill looking spot. I like it.

    My playing is so sloppy to me why?

    Try playing through some good noise canceling headphones and see if it still sounds sloppy to you. Without hearing you, i’d say try turning the gain down and play through your neck pickup to clean the sound up a bit.

    Unable to upload a riff – help!

    I’ve been having the same issue Adam. Verified my account with FB and google and have tried both YouTube URLs formats. I’ve tried uploading through my galaxy s8 phone and with chrome on my laptop. All with the same “verification” error.

    Noisy string bends

    I had the same issue with bends for awhile. I started consciously using both hands to mute every string that I wasn’t picking. Basically a habit of keeping contact with every string and then relaxing contact on the notes I wanted to play. Starting out I imagined I should mute strings when...
