    Can anyone here play guitar behind their head?

    Never tried when I was younger and now it would just give me neck pain.

    Andrews Livestream 9pm GMT Saturday!

    Was a big holiday weekend in the States with a lot of folks out of town or otherwise occupied with family.

    I've Got a REALLY Exciting Idea!!

    I didn’t know until right this second, but I’ve been out of town for an American holiday (Thanksgiving) for most of the last week. I will get on it!

    Gypsy Jazz

    Outside of Syn or Papa, Ids is probably most knowledgeable/enthusiastic about GJ.

    A Legal Question, about Syns shoutout for my YouTube Channel

    Oh, I don’t know about pretentious. If Syn recorded a plug for my channel, I’d be using it, too. I think pretty much all of us would. Hell, he came to my livestream, and I’ve mentioned it several times to drum up interest.

    Student Project Will be Finished Tomorrow

    If you do another, I’d like to opt in. My big ride made it difficult this time.

    A Legal Question, about Syns shoutout for my YouTube Channel

    In the strictest legal sense, you could be sent a cease and desist order from attorneys representing the old or new record label, depending on which content is shared. If you got such a request, you would have a few days to take down (or make “private”) the particular content they call out as...

    [THEORY] Suspended Chords

    I haven’t had the time to really dig into these, but with the bike race over, I plan to pore over them. Please keep ’em coming!

    Metal Guitar with EMGs for 600€ ?

    Yikes! The SE’s are cheaper here. I think the Holcomb sells for about $800 US, which should be about 700€.

    Metal Guitar with EMGs for 600€ ?

    Not sure how close the price is, but I’d got for a PRS Holcomb SE.

    Question about a Squier Strat

    Honestly, I think someone’s bullshitting you. I’ve never seen a BRAND NEW Squier even close to $500, and a quick look at Musician’s Friend confirms – there’s nothing brand new there in the Squier Strat category over actually $400. You get higher than that, you’re treading too close to low-end...

    Do you think Avenged popularised the topic of simulation in music?

    Though many discussed it before him (Ray Kurzweil comes to mind), Elon Musk’s ideas on the subject sparked a lot of interest. He’s got a broader reach than A7X, and probably influenced Matt and the boys to get into it a little more, if they weren’t already.

    Nightmare Solo at 80% Speed!! 😻

    I had learned a lot of this solo, but none of the faster bits. I may need to be “inspired” and revisit!

    Livestreaming Music Tech Q&A

    Okay, I have now uploaded to the Captain Ed page a follow-up video. In it, I answer some questions that got missed in the original live-stream, and also do more side-by-side comparisons with (gasp!) actual Avenged Sevenfold riffs included. Check it out for more fun and goodness.

    Does the axe fx cab packs in the store work with the axe fox ultra?

    The cab modeling should not be used with a standard guitar amp – it would be like running speakers through speakers.

    Does the axe fx cab packs in the store work with the axe fox ultra?

    So, what you can do is put an FX SEND before the cab block in all of your presets. Then cable the FX SEND on the AxeFX to the FX RETURN on your 6505. Then, you can add the CAB you like to the presets, tweak global EQ for output 1 to taste, and connect via USB to a computer for THAT sound there...

    Tips on pink?

    Form looks good, and I am jealous of your long, well-spaced fingers, practically MADE for playing guitar. Try doing it with winter gloves on and you’ll know my struggle is real!

    I ordered something in the store..

    Fulfillment is putting item in box and shipping it out, thus fulfilling their end of the agreement. I believe in the Inc interview posted recently, Syn mentioned that the store has a “drop-ship” deal with Schecter, so Syn gets the profit on the merch to help run this site, but Schecter will...

    Yet another post about recording

    @dominik – yes, the AxeFX winds up being amp, speaker, microphone, and digital interface (like the excellent Scarlett Chris was referring to) all in one. In my videos, the guitar you hear is guitar -> AxeFX – Computer. That’s it.
