    THANK YOU PAPA GATES!

    In honor of Teacher appreciation week I'd like to say thank you to Synyster Gates, Papa Gates, and the SGS admins and staff that make this website possible! This site is very unique and in my personal opinion much better than the other online "guitar schools" I've found. Everything on this...

    The One Month Challenge

    Actually allow me to change my mind on this. The song that I'm going to learn is Fire and Flood by Vance Joy acoustic version. This is something that I feel I have to learn so I can surprise my wife with the song at our baby shower.

    The One Month Challenge

    I'm late to the party on this one but I'm going to do it anyways. I've always wanted to learn the song Roman Sky by Avenged Sevenfold this may be a little cheesy considering this is somewhat of an A7X page but for this next month I'm going to do my best to learn this song.

    Practice Fatigue and Why You Don't Suck

    9/10 this is exactly how I feel on weekdays because I'm up by 5am and leaving the house by 6 to get to work by 7. This is some pretty solid advice and something I might start doing myself. If I can get myself to get out of bed just a little earlier to practice maybe it will have a positive...

    Send riffs

    Do you have cool content on the SGS community you wish someone would notice? Comment to this thread so I can check out your media. As musicians I think it's important for us to lift each other up to the pedestal we want to reach. I am by no means an expert player nor am I in any position to give...

    Comment by 'Zesty Rage' in media 'HTTK Rhythm Cover'

    This is awesome! I would consider turning up the Gain to 10 on your amp if possible A7X songs normally have heavy distortion. But this is great keep practicing and playing awesome cover!!! 🤟😁

    Don't mind the mess behind me. We just had some roommates move out and we're currently trying to move some things around to clear out a room for the new baby on the way

  10. Playing with the CAGED patterns

    Playing with the CAGED patterns

    This is not that impressive but to me this was a huge step as I was never even able to come close to putting notes together like this before I joined this community.

    Trying to Upload

    I'm currently trying to upload a short video from my phone of me playing some simple pentatonic patterns but when I try to upload it I get an error code saying the file is to big. The video is less than 2 minutes long. I'm just trying to show off what I learned in the CAGED lesson. Any advice on...

    Which players would you say defined you as a player?

    I know I'm a little late to the party here but personally I've never had a bigger influence than Synyster Gates and Zacky Vengeance. The first time I heard A7X was when I was 11 and it inspired me to even pick up the guitar. I would also say that Angus Young is a huge influence of mine for the...

    Breakthrough (Long Story)

    Thank you I appreciate it. Someone once told me that Practice doesn't make perfect practice makes permanent and that's one of the many things that drives me to stick with these lessons even when I don't feel like practicing. My dream is to one day soon play with a band to get signed and share...

    Breakthrough (Long Story)

    I've wanted to play guitar ever since I heard the song "A Little Piece of Heaven" when I was 11 years old. When I turned 13 I got my first electric guitar and started learning what I could whenever I could. I even played some songs for a small church in my town. I wanted to play lead guitar and...

    CAGED System – Changing Pentatonic Scales – Two Chords – D & C – Lesson 29

    How do I do that? 😮

    CAGED System – Changing Pentatonic Scales – Two Chords – D & C – Lesson 29

    I think I'm starting to understand what you're saying here. So basically I could play any pattern as long as my notes match the chord? And I could also play those patterns in different positions if I need to correct?
