    Headless are typically expensive because a lot of parts have to be made specifically for headless - bridge, truss rod, nut, and however you do the end of the neck. I find them to be lighter overall and better balanced/more comfortable, even though they still look weird to me. I would definitely...

    I changed the name of my YouTube channel. "Cooking with Captain Ed" lacks punch and could be confusing. I took Jak's other part of her name for me and just changed the spelling of my last name, so it's "Captain Ed Scythe." Years ago, one of my bands actually wanted to call our band "Scythe" and...

    Comment by 'Ed Seith' in media 'If Fireflies had a guitar solo'

    Brilliant, Simon. I love that despite developing these monster chops in such a short time, you haven't sacrificed creativity, personality or expressiveness to do it. You're a true musician with a talent and maturity far beyond your years. When I find a fountain of youth, I wanna be you.

    Majority Rules

    Yeah, mine were the Jazz III Stubbies, the little purple ones. Started using them about 1989 or so and only started looking at alternatives in maybe 2012 or so. I tried Jazz III sized thick picks of different varieties, as bigger picks all felt foreign to me. Once I tried the JP Ultex picks...

    Majority Rules

    I used 2mm stubbies for decades, then started looking at alternatives. I landed happy on 1mm Flow picks.

    Tube Screamer/Overdrive Pedals AMA

    Goddamn, thanks for making me feel old, man. My oldest child is a year younger than you. Get off my lawn.

    Mixing

    I watched this video the other day, and it was very enlightenting. Going into something you don't get often, which is how to HEAR a compressor and what it does. Very informative.

    How do I practice?

    Hi Eslam! Hope you're still enjoying your journey. The metronome question comes up a lot, even from more seasoned players. Here's a basic primer I threw together last month.

    So, it happened…

    Thanks for resurrecting this thread, bud! It all seemed a lifetime ago and it was awesome to re-read what I, Syn, and everyone else wrote about. Thanks for the memories!

    Tutorial on how to (not) participate to the contest

    I can't believe I'm just seeing this now. Fucking brilliant, man. I love it, and I love your personality and your talent for editing these videos together. You are a huge asset to the school!

    Can't play with recording

    It is very likely in your head. One of the ways you can trick your head is to learn to play it 5-10 BPM faster than the recording by metronome. Then when you play along to the recording, it actually sounds a little slow and you don't suffer from as much anxiety about it. Harder to do when you...

    Problems with an old Squier!!

    Nevermind. It was my eyes. I looked on a different screen, and I can see it. Slide a cable into that jack while it's out though. See if the cable goes in snugly and makes contact in both places.

    Problems with an old Squier!!

    Not sure if it’s the angle or my eyes, or if I’m right, but it looks like the “tip” part of that Jack is broken off? The cable you plug into it is in two parts, separated by a plastic ring near the tip. There are also two parts of the Jack - one to touch each part of the male cable end. It...

    Starting to show major improvement.

    That sounds suspiciously like the kind of statement that should have a progress video to show it off!

    Stairway to Heaven opening chord shape

    I've got big hands but short sausage fingers and I just looked at how I play that chord. You have to bend that last knuckle on the ring finger so it comes straight down on the string perpendicular. It's easy to get used to using those fingers flatter to help with muting on leads and stuff, so...

    Guitar-Related Member Upgrades

    I like the idea of something tangible and guitar-related. The realities of international shipping have an effect on physical things. I know one of Syn's BIGGEST things is that NONE of the lesson material is behind a pay wall, and I don't see that changing, but if he has the time, he could...

    What are you currently listening to?

    Any time anyone complains about modern lyrics, I can point them at this gem. Great song, but... Wow.

    Restoring an UN-loved Syn Gates Custom (original model) and key model differences!

    I don't think so. It's definitely something that would be called out in the spec sheet. @Brian Haner Sr. , do you know?

    Amp sims

    The interface is incredible. I love that. Tonally, I'd have to hear it, to actually play with the tones and feel it. Now, my AxeFX II XL+ is two revs back on hardware and probably a dozen back on firmware, and Cliff at Fractal is working on ANOTHER new ground-up rebuild of the amp firmware for...
