10 Years of A7X Israel club – tribute video
Awesome video and what amazing fans! Being in the US, I take for granted the steady access to concerts by so many amazing artists. Seeing how long so many of these people have waited reminds me of how lucky I am in that regard. I hope they come back and see you again on the next album tour cycle!- Ed Seith

You've probably never seen a guitar like this before
That’s cool! Hard to see from the video, but I’d imagine the strings are somehow locked in place (locking tuners, etc), so theoretically it should be in tune or at least “close enough for rock and roll” when you lock the neck in place. I’ve seen a number of folding guitars, but none quite like...- Ed Seith

Any Advice For My Bending Troubles?
Typically, when you bend, you’re bending up, so if you bend the B string, you’re having trouble with G ringing out after, right? Right hand muting. Just like you palm mute to play chugga chugga Metallica riffs, you can lay the fleshy part of that hand over any and all strings below the one...- Ed Seith

Synyster Gates on The Ernie Ball Podcast
Well, it’s a FRETLESS 8 string, so chord work would be REALLY hard to get precise on it. Plus, he says one up, one down, so not like a Drop F# thing Meshuggah or even Periphery would be up to. I dunno. Maybe something jazzy?- Ed Seith

Anyone else curious about Syn’s “fretless, headless eight string” and what he might do on the next record with it?- Ed Seith

Synyster Gates on The Ernie Ball Podcast
@kai C – It’s not really available anywhere. Syn has teased the idea of finding the masters, cleaning it up, and throwing it out there for the die-hard fans, but he’s been saying that for years, and it’s pretty low on the priorities list, after the family, the next A7X record, and the next...- Ed Seith

Who all is gonna see Papa Gates on the “Freedom to laugh tour”??
If he makes his way to Southern Arizona, I certainly plan to. So far, he’s going from Texas to California then on up to Canadia, so we will see.- Ed Seith

Advice on improv
I look at improv like driving a car. You learn the rules and you practice the mechanics endlessly, making them second nature, so that when you’re actually driving, you’re literally not thinking about the mechanics of it AT ALL – you’re just doing it, and using your brain power for other things –...- Ed Seith

Needing Feedback
I haven’t been sick, as such, but with the diet occasionally leaving me with less energy combined with prepping for the 100 mile El Tour de Tucson bike race/ride the Saturday before Thanksgiving, I spend fall playing less than usual as of now (Saturday morning), I don’t think I’ve played since...- Ed Seith

Am I copying Iron Maiden/Ozzy? Is my riff good?
That’s cool. Definitely has a modern (post 2000) Maiden feel to it, which is nice.- Ed Seith

Went live on Facebook today.
I have not watched any of this yet, but I do want to warn you – if you get zero complete end to end views, don’t take it personally. I would have a hard time just sitting and watching even Syn just stand there and play for two hours. That’s a long time. Just forewarning you, bud! I’ll check it...- Ed Seith

Custom guitars with synyster pickups
I know Dominik Graber has some in one of his Schecters. I plan on buying a set sometime and putting them into either an Ibanez or a custom Destroyerman I have – I haven’t decided.- Ed Seith

Help! (Again, m sorry for being so naive🤞)
Ya, this is a studio track and he’s “lip syncing” along to it. The wah part sounds like it might be an auto-wah effect, meaning that it’s a wah, but operates on a set speed instead of by manually modulating a pedal. John Petrucci uses an auto-wah a lot in his solos. The tapping he’s doing at...- Ed Seith
