    Do I need A Compressor?

    Any distorted signal, whether by natural overdrive, amp gain, or pedal, is compressed as part of the distortion. The only time you would or should see a need for a compressor on an electric guitar is on a clean channel. A compressor does really nice things to a clean electric guitar. You can...

    Guitar tuning

    Radu is correct, though there is a third option that works. It’s called a Trem-setter, and if you install it, it makes your trem work more like a restaurant’s kitchen door (always back to center, where it rests) than a full float. It definitely changes the feel of the bar, and going from...

    Agreed, the shirt is cool, and it’s getting a lot of advertising.

    They just started the set with a pre-show tribute to the VP. It’s on now.

    Vinnie Paul has passed :(

    That unstoppable GROOVE. A Texas badass with a drumkit at his prime. Vinnie lived as large as he was, but this – this is raw talent. Remember, this was from before quantizing, triggering, and sampling really took hold in heavy music. Check out how consistent he was. Damn.

    Jazz Album from Syn

    I’d like to see that. Steve Stevens, who had a solo career after playing for Billy Idol in the late 70s/early 80s, intensely studied flamenco and put out a really good album, “Flamenco A Go Go.” Worth a good listen to hear how an 80s shredder adapts his thinking to that style.

    Guitar tuning

    That is one of the “cons” to a Floyd Rose (or any floating) tremolo bridge system. There are things like TremSetter that can help minimized that, but if you want to be able to change tunings on a guitar with any frequency, you’re much better off with a fixed bridge solution.

    What are you currently listening to?

    Light the Torch. Howard Jones’ best work since Killswitch Engage’s The End of Heartache.

    I need some criticisms for my A7X cover. Is it good?

    I admit I’m not a huge fan of the older stuff, but I do know this one, and this sounds really good. Not a lot I could nitpick either – I hope you’re proud of yourself!

    Question About "Slide-ups" in Lesson 24

    I watched the part you’re talking about, even though I had a pretty good idea what you meant – you described it well. The hint is not in the notation – his embellishment is not notated. The key is to think of it more like a ghost note- it happens slightly before the beat and is not held for ANY...

    Introduction – Hello!

    @rowan, when @syn is not on tour, he is actually here quite a bit – way more than I ex[ected he would be. It’s pretty cool – he will just pop into a question on a whim and throw down a REALLY detailed answer. It’s good stuff, what he and his Dad are doing here.

    Audio Interface behringer um22

    I’ve consistently heard bad things about Behringer audio equipment. It *may* be okay, but for my money the entry level FocusRite is going to be a better long-term option, and still at a good price.
