    Slipping tuner

    Lot of possibilities. Is it a nylon or steel string acoustic?

    Rockstar Student Award Update, and Other Updates!

    Not two minutes ago, my wife called downstairs to me. "Can you help me with the thingie in the thing?" Sadly, I knew *exactly* what she meant.

    You actually completely missed the point.

    When I was a kid and that song came out, of course, you'd only hear it on the radio, and we'd always listen for whether he said "son of a gun" or "son of a bitch" because some radio stations were prudes.

    I've now had two hour-long deep-tissue massages to relieve the built up stress poisoning my body. Like Shrek, I've got layers like an onion. It will be one or two more sessions to work it all out (very sore and lots of swelling) but I feel better - a lot better - already. I had no idea I was in...

    What are you currently listening to?

    Today for my bike ride in 107 degrees (42-ish for you non-Yanks), I moved on from Mudvayne's Lost and Found into some Hellyeah. I've found that while Hellyeah started as a kind of bar-band feel, the further away from Mudvayne reunion they got, the closer they got to the sound. Chad still sounds...

    A Thing I Learned From Bill

    That was Stevie's secret. He threw all his worries away and just played.

    A Thing I Learned From Bill

    That is AWESOME. I know part of the reason for my metal minute videos was to get used to the idea of putting the performance out there, even if it wasn't great, because I know, like you do, that EVERYONE does it. That's the danger of YouTube. You have people who play something 300 times to get...

    Pick Choice?

    He does indeed. I tried them in my latest quest for new pick, and wound up not caring for them after all. Right now, the one I'm enjoying getting used to most is the Flow 1.0. Second place is the Tortex Flow 1.14 (purple!)

    Pick Choice?

    The Big Man is on these, too. I think he uses the Tortex 73s, the yellow ones.

    2nd string on the run

    Get yourself a pair of needle-nose pliers. turn out (loosen) the screw that holds the string in place. Use the pliers and the kind of movement usually reserved for removing a pick from the soundhole of an acoustic guitar to get the little black metal square block out of the cavity for the...

    Comment by 'Ed Seith' in media 'Untitled new Riff'

    This is awesome, dude. And maybe I'm just old school, but you've arranged a bunch of other parts around that riff - you've got the foundations of a song there - much more than just a riff. I get a solid Trivium vibe from it (not just because of the shirt) and your tone actually sounds kinda...

    Collab! Composition Deadline

    That's good. I've had a lot of shoulder pain and been extra busy at work, both of which have made playing difficult. Second, targeted deep tissue massage Friday and a 5 day weekend. Definitely will make progress!

    Synyster Gates Guitar Rarity

    Daniel, I think that top on is a Black Moon. They made 50, and they were all autographed and sold mostly (or entirely) here on the site. They were $2500, and Syn promised there would be other benefits attached to them in years to come. The Admin of this site, Jak, was gifted one of them by Syn...

    Feeling limited

    Lots of options for distance instruction, even 1:1. Lots of popular IRL and YT/IG musicians doing Skype lessons. A good instructor can help you isolate your problems and push you to resolve them.

    Knuckles under techniques are not for everybody. I can't even get my hand to work that way. I hold the pick like a key for a door, and my other fingers fan out. If I tried to curl my knuckles under I wouldn't even be able to get the pick to touch the strings. What works for Syn and Papa is not...
