    Anyone good at video editing?

    That’s $50. Is it good, Calvin? Is it WORTH IT?

    Anyone good at video editing?

    I do pathetic and basic stuff, and use Adobe Premiere Elements. It’s probably not the right or best choice, but it’s what I have. I’m pretty sure it can also be done in Reaper, as well.

    Day one

    Agree totally, and you definitely want a thicker pick. Before you set down to practice, try some finger stretches. There are more in-depth stretching exercises, but probably the only one you really need is for that reach. Take the pick-holding fingers on your picking hand – the thumb and the...

    Stage solo recorded just needs to be edited

    This is really nice, Andrew. It’s got a great feel to it, and I dig it. There’s a spot right around the 30 second mark where the timing is a little suspect – not major, and you could quantize it a little in your DAW, I think, but it would make it pretty damn near perfect. NICE! The mix and the...

    Proposal for Syn’s Fractal AXE FX Presets

    I would love it, though not really to USE them; just to pick them apart and learn. I think Cooper Carter is probably the guy who helped build them, and I’d love to be able to dig in and understand his work and process. Syn’s tone is awesome, and works amazingly well for him and Avenged...

    I need help in progressing my guitar skills

    So you don’t want lessons because they’re boring, and you don’t want to watch the actually-quite-good videos here because they’re boring, but you want to be super-mega-awesome guitar player. You have unrealistic expectations. It’s a LOT of work. It’s a LOT of repetition. It’s a lot of tedium...

    May someone help me gain more skill in my playing ive veen playing for a year an

    It is a process that takes many years and much dedication. Most people expect to get better way faster than they do. Work through the lessons, taking at least a week for each of them. Play EVERY DAY. Make a video diary of your progress, at least once a week, so you can look back and see your...

    Synyster Gates School Report Project (Jak's June Contest)

    Double bonus points for Bowie, Anna. Your chording is CONFIDENT and your timing is solid. Your strumming is relaxed (where it should be) and flows really well. Your typing fingers say “I have no self-confidence,” but your picking and fretting fingers say something else. MOAR, PLEASE!

    Does anybody know a somebody

    If you have YouTube links, post them here. We’d love to hear them. In the US, and most primary-English speaking countries, using “gay” in a negative way is no longer acceptable in good company – especially during Pride month. Syn and Papa, and by extension those of us most vocal here, strive to...

    Correct!

    Day one

    If you can get verified, upload them to your riffs page. It’s hit and miss for accomplishing that right now – the administrators are working on fixing several user interface issues.

    Day one

    Welcome, Mitch! A Floyd can be more difficult to work with, not “because it’s a Floyd Rose,” but just because it’s a floating bridge system. Any and all of them have the same tuning pitfalls, but the Floyd is the most stable once it’s in tune, so it’s the best if you like having a whammy bar and...

    Syn school collab

    A simple progression in a common key – maybe just two chords, like a John Mayer verse :-). A 30 second loop for each person to solo over. I think you’d have to limit entries to only the isolated track (stem) from a DAW, as opposed to a mixed track or in-room playing over the rhythm. Getting...

    HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!

    I keep trying to get my kids into it. My daughter loves Five Finger Death Punch. My youngest son is all about Imagine Dragons. Middle child doesn’t see the point of concerts, since you can’t lift there – “music is all about getting pumped!” I’m not sure which is worse. I’ve failed as a dad. 🙂

    Does anybody know a somebody

    Gay music is hugely successful. Elton John, Queen, George Michael, ROB FUCKING HALFORD… If you’ve got gay music, it must be FABULOUS, so please share it with us!

    My Riffs

    Amazing, Nick! Love seeing your progress here. Someday, I’ll get to the part of my list of skills that has “tapping” and get started on it. Sounding awesome! And I’m loving the roasted neck on that AZ. Beautiful guitar!

    SGS app?

    If I remember right, it’s at the bottom of a VERY long list of things to get done. Prior to that, they really want to stabilize the site and have all the bits working proper-like for desktop browsers.

    The Seven Deadly $yns

    By the way, I have been guilty of EVERY GODDAMN ONE OF THESE, even in the six months, so thanks for kicking me in the side of the head, Jak!

    The end of the hunt

    Congrats, brother Dan! She’s gorgeous! Treat ‘er right!
