    Syn's pick type?

    That's really interesting, and makes a lot of sense to be honest! No doubt the 2mm gives a much beefier tone to your attack. When I would try going slimmer at first it felt really foreign. Using a pointed pick really helped me make that transition properly though, because it felt easier to get...

    Syn's pick type?

    I remember years and years ago researching Syn's pick type, getting the 2.0 gator grip and being dumbstruck trying to play anything with it at first :ROFLMAO: Tried to stick with it exclusively...then I started snapping my thick strings during Acoustic Pub gigs when doing heavy palm muting. So...

    Syn's pick type?

    I think I seen him comment a while ago on here about the .73mm, but no idea if it's true :P

    That means a lot @Jeremy Healey! Thank you. I'm not even sure if I've got it properly to be honest. It's just so tasty! It makes me want to go to somewhere sunny :p

    Hey guys, hope you're well! I'm thinking of making a video with some improv hacks in it, based on the Minor Pentatonic Scale. Would this be something that anyone would find helpful? :geek:

    Are these arpeggios?

    Yeah I'd say it's still an arpeggio 😊 Like EGC would be a Cmaj arp in 1st inversion, GCE would be a C major arp in 2nd inversion etc

    Are these arpeggios?

    Hey Jak! To answer your question : A B min arpeggio would contain: 1 b3 5 - all the chord tones of a Bminor chord The D6 arpeggio (D major 6) would be - 1 3 5 6 - all the chord tones of a D Major 6 chord

    Long-ass Guitar Confession/Practice Advice Needed :)

    Hey Jak! I can completely relate to where you're at, as I felt this way a couple of years ago. I can honestly say I cannot remember the last cover I sat down and learned, and I'm the happiest about my playing recently than I've ever been. I'm at the point where improvisation excites me way more...

    One of the best feelings in the world

    Gonna listen to these on the way to work. But well done on all those streams! 😍

    Feeling limited

    Hey Dominik! I've felt like this so many times in the past, and it's usually just before a 'light-bulb moment' in my playing. When you're improvising, you want to have things practiced so much that any time you're playing over a chord progression, that you don't have to think of any theory...
