    Solo Trouble

    Awesome!!! I could not BELIEVE, when I discivered this, how long this has likely been holding me back. I’m still in the process of backing up to move forward, but i feel really energized about moving forward now. That I might be able to help someone else makes me feel especially awesome! Thanks...

    Should I Go Live With My Tutorial?

    As long as you can do it at a time when a lot of folks can join, could be awesome. Then trim the fat and upload it?

    Solo Trouble

    I started a new channel based on this. The first video I wanted to be a bit longer than a minute, but I will follow up with my ideas and videos for this Syn request as soon as I can. Until then, my recent discoveries about picking mechanics Check it out and let me know what you think!

    Favourite syn solo?

    Nothing can top Syn’s own answer here, but I’m going a different way. I don’t *want* to play them perfectly. To play them perfectly, I’d have to play like Syn. For better or for worse, I PLAY LIKE ME, and when I take on one of Syn’s solos (or anyone’s, for that matter), I approach it from a...

    3/4 to 4/4 smoothly

    Check out the verses of Tesla’s “Gettin’ Better.” Count it out: 1&2&3&4&1&2&3&1&2&3&4&1&2&3&. Best way to get the feel is to count out during a song that employs the signatures you’re wanting to change.

    Solo Trouble

    I don’t know that I can manage to keep “hello” to a minute, much less a lesson, but I have a good idea what I will cover here, and I will keep it as brief as possible. Thanks for the idea, the support, and the love, Syn! You always inspire taking it to the next level!

    Resume

    Going to have to clarify what this is for. A resume and an electronic press kit are two very different things. If it’s a resume, like for a regular job, I’d be happy to look it over. I’m in IT for one the biggest banks in the world and I do some hiring, so I know what to look for. If it’s for...

    Tips on how to get better at playing fast triplets / "galloping"

    In the same way you work on downpicking with Metallica, you work on triplets with MAIDEN. Learn The Trooper, and learn it standing up, starting slow. You get that up to tempo and good to go, and you’ll be in good shape on galloping triplets. If you want to start slower, but with more endurance...

    Legato on Acoustic

    Hi Andrew! A few things to unpack here… 1. Hammer-ons and pull-offs on acoustic. It’s important to note that how hard this is and how uneven it sounds is a direct result of the guitar, not the player. When you see an acoustic player able to do great legato runs and stuff, you have to accept that...

    "Band Practice" More Beneficial Than "Sole Practice"?

    Lots of great stuff here. The only thing I would add is that if you don’t do band practice frequently (and you don’t – once a week is not frequent), then there are things you can do to help make band practice more productive. Not judging, my band only practices once a week, as well. Less lately...

    Axe FX III Presets

    @jak – not gonna happen. Let me tell you what happened. Last Tuesday night, wife and I are making dinner. Parmesan-encrusted pork chops. Chops are on the pan and there’s the plate. “Ooh, cheese!” and I grab a large pinch and toss it in my mouth. “Tell me you didn’t just do that?” “Huh?” “The...

    That would be the right thing to do, assuming he cares about us, his fans. Ahem…

    Schecter Apocalypse /Sustaniac?

    Sustainiac is technically not a pickup, but a technology that can be embedded into a pickup. It’s not a Schecter or Syn technology. Guitar Sustainer Guide

    Axe FX III Presets

    Has there been confirmation they’re releasing them? All I’ve ever seen is that they’re working on them WITH him, FOR him. I would very much love to see them out in the wild, especially if I can use Frac-tool to adapt them to my AxeFX IIXL+, but I have not heard anything official about that from...

    String tension v playing

    9s for D Standard, huh? Hmm.. I do not recommend going lower than 9s. You may have to just get used to it.

    String tension v playing

    Lighter gauge is the ONLY way. What gauge were you playing in D standard?
