    How Do I Write A Bio?

    Welcome back, Jak!!

    We want to hear from you!

    This is the first I've heard of this, Filip. Please PM me with details. Add screenshots of anything relevant. We're meeting with Audentio this week and can bring it up, along with a small handful of other bugs we've noticed or been made aware of.

    We want to hear from you!

    For the legends who have asked about the video meetings with Syn and Papa, I talked to Syn about it today and we will be arranging something for “the holidays” to be announced once the details are finalized, and there’s a commitment to try to be better about it next year.

    We want to hear from you!

    Yes, I am “Captain Ed,” a nickname from the site’s first community leader. Syn still calls me “truth,” because that’s what I speak. I had some issues over the last year and a half that have impacted my playing and it’s bothered me. I do my own AOTM because I’m old and some of the stuff that...

    We want to hear from you!

    I'll admit, I could do more, especially when it comes to watching student videos. I need to be better about that. My only excuse is that between work ramping up and family and all, sometimes the time I could be watching, I spend practicing or playing. I will try to balance it better. Thank you...

    We want to hear from you!

    As long as you're cool and not being a douchenozzle to everyone or someone, it's cool. We REQUESTED the feedback, so if it's clear and honest, we do want to hear it. Of course, there's only so much we can DO about it - Syn is a rock star and can be mercurial sometimes.

    We want to hear from you!

    The rules are the same as they've always been. As Syn said from the very beginning (when he was here all the time), it absolutely HAD TO BE a safe place for anyone to be. Some people have trouble with that. For them, there are consequences. The NFTs are something the band is doing. It's...

    How many chord do you need to write a song?

    You have this backwards. “All I’ve got is a red guitar, three chords and the truth” - Bob Dylan You have to be a McCartney-level wizard to write a perfect song with only two. Mortals require at least 3-4.

    Help

    I've never used a Sustainiac, so others will have to help you there. Glad we hit the noise gate proper. I've put a set of Syns in an Ibanez of mine, and hoestly, I get what you're saying about the bridge pickup, but I've not found a solution, or if it's normal for this pickup. People hear...

    Help

    Couple of possibilities BEFORE you consider the electronics might be bad. 1. Noise gate on your amp/effect unit/plug-in too high a threshold for the new guitar 2. Bad setup (if you play those same notes with no amp, does the STRING still ring out?) There is definitely a problem, but we should...

    What are you currently listening to?

    Some vintage lesser-known thrash with personality. Features Mike Mangini (now in Dream Theater) on Drums, from 1990.

    What are you currently listening to?

    Captivating.

    This really should be his bio on the site...

    Man, I can read stories like this all day long. Thanks, @Brian Haner Sr. !!

    This really should be his bio on the site...

    One of the things that I liked about this was that in addition to it being entertaining and funny, and showing off the diversity of your playing and song knowledge, I actually learned a few things about you. Obviously nothing deep, but it was a nice summary of your road to that point and how...

    Ok which one of you is this

    That house is internet famous for lots of songs at Halloween over the last several years, including Chop Suey. Great song choice, but probably a casual fan.

    What are you currently listening to?

    Dream Theater has been hit and miss for me since Kevin Moore left. The musicianship is always mindblowing, but the songwriting is what makes me want to listen or move on. I've only listened to the album once, but it grabs me in a way that none have since Scenes from a Memory.

    Happy Birthday Jamie!!

    Two-way pickslanting

    Troy gets really deep into the weeds on it, and even though he's the guy that really discovered and named it, I like Uncle Ben's approach to teaching it better.

    What are you currently listening to?

    With all the popular and obvious stuff out lately (Trivium, Ghost, INK, etc), these guys might fall under the radar, but they SHOULD NOT.
