    Seize the day solo questions

    What I have seen some people do is, play almost the entire solo with neck pickup ( better if you have a mid pickup, then combine it with neck one). Just before the pinch harmonic, when you get a fraction of second breather, switch to the bridge one and make it scream, sounds so sweet. I have...

    Favorite A7X Guitar Solo?

    There are so many. But for me, This Means War and Hail to the king will top the list.

    Synyster Gates School Merch?

    Man Raf, post your covers as a new post in the forum or in the ‘Create a riff’ section. Otherwise it will be lost in the comments in the future.

    How often do you use tapping licks in soloing?

    Ids, then have a look at two songs. 1. Midnight by Joe Satriani 2. Roses for the dead by Funeral for a friend. I find them so cool

    How often do you use tapping licks in soloing?

    The first time I was blown away by this technique was while listening to The Stage. How often do you use tapping or even double hand tappings in your solos? And how to do construct them? I need some suggestions

    Soloing help?

    Have a look at the masterclass from the man himself, Syn. He showed how he incorporates different elements to add more variety into his solos. No one can imitate him but we can learn the idea from him. You can try some staple licks of different genres and incorporate them in your solo. or you...

    How can i play at night without making too much noise?

    Avoid holding the pick too tight to avoid the clicking noise when you hit the string. If you try this on an electric without amp, you can feel the amount of noise that you are creating. Gently hold the pick.

    need help with improv and stuff

    Improvising can be seen as creating your own sound over something already given to you. You will play straight from your heart, often without thinking. In that case, it is often difficult to start as a complete blank slate. if you take certain things inside you and then start improvising, things...

    What are people's writing habits?

    I would like to add what Ed Sheeran said once. He said that a song writer is like a water tap. You open the tap and the bad dirty water goes out first. Then the clean water comes.You just have to open the tap. So do not wait for the perfect moment or inspiration to come and then start writing a...

    Improvisation

    Just talking about technique, rather the need of it, I hope this video makes you think.

    Harmonizing a guitar lead

    Just to give you an example. Play a simple melody on C major scale. Say, C D E C E. Now shift the entire melody by 2 or 4 notes. So that the melody starts on 3rd or 5th note of C major scale. This melody will be E F G E G in the first case. Now record the 2 melodies individually and then play...

    I need an expert on this one.

    I am not an expert, not at all. But i will share what i think. maybe we should use terms like legato and tapping only in the context of guitar. it may happen that the meanings of a term differs slightly in flavour from instrument to instrument just for the difference in playing style. For...

    Breaking out of your comfort zone

    There are many ways to approach this problem. Almost everyone faces this problem at some point. You can take the Zak Wylde approach. He confines himself in a Pentatonic scale and tries to find new licks in it. You can go Paul Gilbert way. Try building awesome arpeggios in a scale. Another...
