    Syn rebel flag

    Dime may not have. Dime was many things, but an instigator and hater? Not so much. He loved everyone and a good time. If he felt that guitar and the flag was becoming more recognized as a symbol of hate, he probably would have stopped using it. He ain’t Phil, that’s for sure. I personally never...

    Jared Dines is taking original solos of everyone until 1 May

    @Ids, both are amazing players, but yeah, Stevie T…. I can’t handle sixty seconds of him. No matter what I might learn.

    Jared Dines is taking original solos of everyone until 1 May

    Am I the only one who thinks this kid an annoying, arrogant tool? Maybe I’m too old to “get” him?

    Syn rebel flag

    Someone asked him about the confederate flag guitar int he early days of the site, and he said that when he was younger, he just saw it as “southern pride,” but as he was exposed to more of the world, and things became more apparent, he no longer liked what it really stood for and retired it...

    Checking In With You Guys + A New Syn Guitar!

    Glad Holly kicked you in the ass. I love nights like that when I feel like I could play all night! PRO TIP: If you’re a band trying to lure a pretty hot guitar player into your band, don’t sit around sucking on a bong every minute you’re not auditioning the guy! No, sorry, I will NOT be coming...

    I need support from you guys!

    Agree with Sayonil on the vocal melodies – they come across as a bit rigid.

    The Stage intro (2 finger tapping)

    I would say Jak’s advice on stuff like that is really on the mark. Understand the techniques you need to learn and master BEFORE you tackle the piece, and it will be a lot less frustrating. I’ve never been a tapping fan, and I have a lot of other stuff higher on my priorities list, so The Stage...

    I need support from you guys!

    Dude, this is outSTANDing! I definitely hear the A7X/SYNfluence there, but it’s not overbearing. Some of the chord changes and stuff. The whole thing is just really creative and well done, and very mature – I don’t mean that in a “kid” way. You guys don’t sound like you’ve only been writing...

    Songwriting schedule

    It’s a great exercise, and can work on important parts of your brain and expose issues with your processes, but like others who have done this sort of challenge before, don’t expect all the songs to be GOOD. The PROGRESS will be good, and that’s the reward, and in the end you will like some...

    How fast are you guys?

    @Lonski, Jesus H Christmas, you serious? That’s insane, dude. You’re right, though. No real applicable uses. MA Batio has incredible speed. Can anyone name a song by him? I can’t.

    Synyster Single Coil Pickups

    Coil taps are certainly a compromise, but they’re a compromise I’ll make almost every time.

    Synyster Single Coil Pickups

    Syngle coil?

    I wish I had 2500 lol

    I got the ad yesterday and with a satin finish neck and the new premium pickups, I had a moment of regret that I’ve bought three guitars in the last five months and my wife would kill me if I bought another, no matter the reason.

    What Is Difficult for you Guys On Stage?

    To answer the ACTUAL question, though, what I find difficult is when the stage is a sound vacuum. I played a gig one time where it was just so weird – I could barely hear the drummer standing right next to his kit. The whole stage was almost QUIET (at least that’s how I remember it) and it was...

    What Is Difficult for you Guys On Stage?

    That’s ADRENALINE, and while it’s super awesome, it’s also why we have good drummers who can give us a count to start a song, even if the song doesn’t start with drums. A good drummer is keenly aware of tempo, and NOT overstepping it. A band may play some of their catalog *slightly* faster live...

    Stickers/ Customizing Guitars

    It’s definitely a very “punk” aesthetic.

    Stickers/ Customizing Guitars

    I did on my plain black RG550 back when I was in my early 20s. If you go to my profile and look at one of my videos (the one with the long hair, you can see that guitar loaded up with stickers). Nowadays, most of my axes have really nice tops and finishes, and I wouldn’t dream of putting...

    Do perferct guitars exist?

    Well, new IS new, but they are complex, and made of wood by machine and hand, and minor imperfections are part of the process. If it’s got a ding taken out of it, that’s returnable. To each his or her own, I suppose, but I’m willing to accept minor, nitpicky cosmetic issues if the guitar...

    Do perferct guitars exist?

    On the back of the neck, can you FEEL it? The neck is important. If you can FEEL an imperfection, THAT is not really “cosmetic” then.

    Do perferct guitars exist?

    Honestly, it’s pretty rare. My $4k PRS has a minor blemish in the topcoat you can only see up close, right behind the bridge. I haven’t found ANYTHING on the Ormsby yet, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one. If you bought it brand new and you feel there are more issues than there should be for...
