    New Avenged Sevenfold Album?

    When Syn talked about it in mid-2019, he said it was progressive like the Stage, but the songs were "more compact" - not 8-10 minutes long. However, it's entirely possible all of that work was scrapped or reworked, since he felt it was close to complete back then. So, all bets are off, and NONE...

    SynTv/Restringing and working with a Floyd Rose and other guitar stuff - Tuesday 7pm MST

    I don't have a Syn Custom, but I have never heard of a warranty like that in 35 years of buying guitars. I mean, I can see not warranting a non-floyd nut if you put super heavy strings on it, but this seems odd. Do you have a pic of this?

    All members. You need to log in, but it's free. (or maybe you DON'T need to log in? I don't know - take Mike's word over mine)

    SynTv/Restringing and working with a Floyd Rose and other guitar stuff - Tuesday 7pm MST

    I think it will be recorded for playback, and I'll also look to doing some in the early morning US to make it easier for overseas friends!

    Plugins

    As far as amps that aren't Hellwins, models of the 5150 get close for his more current tone. Bogners probably for the WTF era and some of CoE. Moderately high gain, and EQ to taste, aware that Syn does NOT scoop the mids out like Dime did.

    Beginner What Chord Is This?

    The A5 version would be with A and E, so an A5/E x (5) x (5) 2 2 0 0

    Beginner What Chord Is This?

    Well, that's this: x 3 2 0 0 x Which is basically a D5/A - So a D5 would be a D power chord (root [d] and fifth [a] only, and maybe the octave), with the /A being an "added" lower root note.

    SynTv/Restringing and working with a Floyd Rose and other guitar stuff - Tuesday 7pm MST

    Nope, not for watching. In fact, I don't even have my own channel yet. I think Radu has to facilitate it for me while we continue to build out the system.

    SynTv/Restringing and working with a Floyd Rose and other guitar stuff - Tuesday 7pm MST

    It *should* just be showing up a little before the start time and clicking the SynTV button in the banner across the top of the page?

    SynTv/Restringing and working with a Floyd Rose and other guitar stuff - Tuesday 7pm MST

    For my inaugural stream, I'd promised we'd talk about the Floyd Rose floating bridge system, how to change strings, what makes it different than other tremolo/vibrato bridges and why it's different. Pros and Cons. And all of that within the context of restringing a Floyd guitar. Hope you'll...

    Have you forgotten how to play your instrument on stage? I have

    I’ve never had this, either, but thanks for sharing. Now it will probably happen next time I gig.

    Best distortion pedal for syn tone/sound?

    It's likely not their fault either, and the shortage is driving prices up globally, not discounting them. It's not marketing, it's all downstream Covid.

    Palm Muting: easy songs to practice this technique?

    Extreme II Pornograffiti is the album to listen to. Nuno is INSANE. One of my guitar heroes when I was a young player.

    Best distortion pedal for syn tone/sound?

    They may be giving unreliable estimates, and he doesn't want to share that and disappoint when it gets pushed back? I dunno. All I know is that Syn is as bummed about it as we are.

    Singer here, any others?

    It will depend on whether I can get some alone time. Full house, and little confidence, ya know?

    Holding a guitar

    People both right and left handed usually play righty. You CAN play lefty, but it’s a lot harder to find lefty guitars and the choices will always be limited. Since guitar is a two-handed instrument, it’s easier just to learn righty. YMMV

    Singer here, any others?

    I’m the best singer in the world. Alone, in my car. Elsewhere, much less so. Solid backup vocalist, decent pitch, but never really developed it. At some point, ima write a whole song including bad lyrics, and sing it. When I do, I will share it and y’all may wish I hadn’t. Half kidding.

    Best distortion pedal for syn tone/sound?

    Here will be the best place to find it. At present there's no release date. Per the inaugural chat with Syn on SynTV last week, he is "in queue" for the needed parts, but there is no timeline and no commitment, and all he can do is wait. Covid-induced global supply chain issues, especially on...
