    Floyd rose set-up

    Okay, you may need to UNDO the changes you made to action, for sure, and probably the truss rod, but we’ll get to that in a moment. When you change string gauges on a floating bridge system like a Floyd Rose, it changes the tension you’re putting on one side of a balance system. You need to...

    Your Favorite Guitarists?

    I didn’t mention Vai, even though I should have. I assumed he was a “given,” and yet I DID include others that I would also consider “a given.” If the wah solo in For the Love of God doesn’t give you chills, you’re simply not living, but I remember (showing my age here) coming home from the mall...

    How to burn what I play on guitar onto a CD

    Older version of Garage Band should download. My son has an older iPad too, and it still downloads apps. Some of the newer ones aren’t compatible with his older operating system (it won work with anything newer than iOS 9, I think), but it will still download if there’s room.

    How to burn what I play on guitar onto a CD

    Jak is on the right path. There are better ways to get better quality audio, but they tend to involve spending money and a learning curve and I get the sense you’d like to avoid that. You should be able to use Garage Band on the phone or iPad and export the results to an MP3 or aac file you can...

See here for the current time in Arizona: https://time.is/Arizona I will be doing a YouTube Live and as soon as I have the link tomorrow (had to activate the Live feature and wait 24 hours) I will post it here. Thanks and...

    Solo Trouble

    Awesome job, Rowan!!! Funny thing, I did an artist session (lesson) with Mark Tremonti a few years ago, and that was exactly the thing he kept (nicely) yelling at me for: watching my thumb position. GOOD JOB!

    Your Favorite Guitarists?

    If all you know of Ozzy/Randy is Crazy Train and the other radio songs, check this out. Syn just did a secret video about moving bass notes under a static figure. Check out the acoustic intro here. The chord shapes change incrementally with a moving bass note. Then the main riff is in a...

    Your Favorite Guitarists?

    Dead guys: Randy Rhoads (Check out Ozzy’s “Diary of a Madman,” the album and the song, especially. Randy blended classical and metal long before Yngwie came out. Killed in a plane crash in 1982. Criss Oliva, from Savatage. Interesting and different tone. Legato skills til the sun comes up. Great...

    Weekly Encouragement. This is Important for Me To Say

    I constantly struggle with the self-doubt and the spotlight on my shortcomings. I need more of this positivity. Thanks, JAK!

    @Radu – you sure about that? Where the heck are you that you’re 16 hours ahead of me?

    Synyster Fractal Audio video

    He’s said the Hellwin was designed by the same guy that did the 5150s, and the inside-ish word is that his Axe tone is based around the 5153 Red head.

    Livestreaming Music Tech Q&A

    Kemper’s a great unit, too. I debated for a long time between the two before I pulled the trigger. I planned on discussing the differences at least at a high level a little, so if you attend and can offer some input or correct me on a misconception, I would greatly appreciate it!

    Livestreaming Music Tech Q&A

    Actually, I think I meant to put 3pm. Saturdays are tough for me right now, as I’m training for a long bicycling event, and Saturdays are my long training day (working up to 75-80 miles). I wanted to be at least 1 hr earlier than Jak’s specifically because of some of our European friends, and I...

    Axe-FX III – Cab Preset Question

    @tanner, I got the following direct communication from the store: For clarification: they don’t support Cab Lab. We had that earlier on the web page, it was incorrect information.

    Axe-FX III – Cab Preset Question

    @tanner – NO. Hard stop. Unless you have a Fractal Audio AxeFX HARDWARE UNIT, these cab packs will be useless. They can’t be converted. I am going to be doing a livestream demo and Q&A soon for tech in music (AxeFX, Syn’s cab pack, recording software, etc) and also a segment on dialing in tone...

    Cab Pack First Impressions

    Thanks, man. I’m using the 5153 Blue, the 50 watter, I think, but my tone is actually more mid-heavy than most. Pure opposite of the DIME tone, for sure.
