    Hail To The King Solo Tutorial (Feedback Appreciated!)

    Damn. I have never in my life ever been able to pay this much attention to the detail of a song I was learning. Ever. Props.

    Tips for buying a Schecter Guitar

    The Diamond Series is a good, enthusiast-level axe. I have one, as I wanted to try out a 7 string. I swapped the pickups in it, but it’s otherwise a really nice guitar. Well-built.

    AMP suggestion

    As others have said, the Line6 products and Boss Katana – modeling amps with lots built in, offer the best tone for the buck for the newer player, and even some very seasoned players like the all-in-one. I know any time I go to Guitar Center to try guitars, I usually wind up plugging into a...

    Cool Guthrie Govan video

    Guthrie is inhuman. I’d love to hear Syn and Papa’s thoughts on him.

    A7x tab book accuracy

    There’s a tab book for The Stage? I’d buy that, but I’ve never even heard of it existing.

    Buzzing sound after i wired my new pickup

    It sounds like a grounding issue, TBH. Soldering guitar connections is a pain in the ass and they have to be PERFECT for maximum fidelity. It took me forever to get passably decent at it.

    Is it ok to wrap your thumb round the neck?

    I did an artist session with Mark Tremonti, and he was constantly getting on me about proper thumb position for legato and scale playing, but felt it was cool to wrap around for bluesier, bendier stuff. All of his speed is thumb on the back. I’ve been working on it. It’s uncomfortable at first...

    About to get my second ever guitar and need some advice

    For that tuning and those strings, you may want to look at what’s known as a baritone guitar to begin with. Because it’s built from the start to be in B standard tuning, all of those changes are already made to it, and the scale length is a little longer (more space between frets) which totally...

    Help with HTTK solo

    Agree with Ids, based on: 1. Jak’s breakdown and explanation, after literally years of analysis 2. Syn’s propensity for economy picking, and desire to use it whenever it makes sense (it makes sense in the spot you’re asking about) 3. Jak’s breakdown and explanation

    A7x tab book accuracy

    On more improvised solos, especially fast ones, there are a lot of off notes and phrasing. On a lot of other stuff, I’ve found that while the notes may be right, it’s like it was tabbed out by someone who doesn’t actually play guitar, because the shape and position choices make no sense. I used...

    what made you guys join this school?

    I could have written what you wrote. Damn near verbatim.

    With a heavy heart

    You’re not letting us down, because you’ll be back when you can. If I might suggest, don’t walk away from the guitar entirely. Take a break from really STUDYING it for a while, but do your best to try and find even 10-15 minutes each day to get your fingers warm on the strings. Play some songs...

    Having a hard time economy picking

    When Papa’s both spot on right, and laugh out loud hilarious, you just know he sat down at the computer with half a bottle gone…

    Super job, Jak! Syn and Papa should pay you! But then, we should be paying them for all this content here, so I guess it’s even stevens for you. One TINY recommendation would be if you could run the whole stereo audio output through some compression to even out the volumes? I can recommend some...
