    How Did You Get Into A7X? Did The Music Help You Cope Ever?

    I got into Ax7 last summer and I can’t really tell why not earlier because I knew about them. I can remember cooking for kids on a tent camp about four years ago. There was colleague and we talked about music because we both liked rock and metal and she was totally into Ax7. At that time I knew...

    Which countries are you from?

    I’m from Germany. @jak Yeah our chocolate is great but our bread is the best 🙂 I envy those living in North America because of all of the small bands I listen to are only touring in your area and will probably never come here. But we can’t have everything we want.

    Thought I'd share one of my favourite work outs

    I guess the shorter are shorter because you just added the numbers in the others and didn’t replace the – with the number. ——–5— —-10—— –4——— instead of: ——–5—- —-10——– —4——— Just like my example you have to delete as many – as many numbers you put in. I had the same problem once. Thanks for the...

    Finger pain and skin peeling

    This is something I guess everybody goes through. Sometimes I got blisters from pull offs and I didn’t notice it until I was wondering why the strings got wet. I think the first year is really bad. Sometimes the problem reappears because of keeping the hands in water for a long timespan. I used...

    Syn- Stubborn pinky

    Thanks Ids. I think this will take me some time 🙂

    Syn- Stubborn pinky

    @Ids After the pinky leaves the fretbord it is not bended at all and about 3-4 cm away from the fretbord. By now it has no bad impact but i guess it might have if I get a faster.

    Syn- Stubborn pinky

    My problem with the pinky is that it moves far to much.

    My profile page is gone

    I think every profile page is gone at the moment. Even if I click on someones there is “Page not found”. I guess they are updating like Ids just said.

    Misheard A7X Lyrics? (For Fun!)

    I just listen to Coming home and I heard: “Walked many roads to win these enchiladas” instead of:Walked many roads to witness ancient idols”

    Going to see Metallica live soon!

    If you want to know what songs you can expect on the tour then go to setlist.fm. People post there what bands have played on their gigs. Most bands have setlists for tours that alter little over the tour. They have some cornerstone songs and some changing. This makes it a lot easier to the front...

    Attention Span

    Don’t worry that much and just take your time. I actually haven’t uploaded any video by now. I’m too busy learning theory. I guess you can’t remember all the patterns that fast and this will take a lot of time. Maybe try to mix the theory up with some technical things like picking or strumming...

    Olympic ceramony rock band

    Yeah I’ve seen parts of it and it was awesome. I was pretty impressed that they chose this music and I think it fit well.

    Stopping unwanted pull-offs

    Try to move your fingers vertically onto and from your fretbord. Maybe it helps to slow your movement down and slowly increase the tempo if it works. I hope that helps.

    What are you currently listening to?

    I started listening to Baroness and I dig them. I knew Shock me a while ago but never started listening to their over work. Though I liked them on Spotify. A few days ago I started listening to their work and it’s awesome!

    Share Your Breakthroughs and Achievements!

    I’m forcing myself to learn alternate picking at the moment. And I know I will get much faster and finally stop playing melodies like it just comes up and then end up in mistakes. The CAGED system helped me a lot, too. It helps to understand what you are actually doing. I knew the pentatonic...

    I'm new

    Hi, to some extent I know how you are feeling. Sometimes it really helps me to play guitar. I just try to enjoy the time and do something I like. And I try to think that I don’t have to be that good at it. I probably never do it as a profecional. In these cases I just play something I can play...

    how do I play fast mostly solos

    Try to reduce your movement to a minimum. For example if you only pick one string, try to stay as close as possible to the string after every hit.

    How did you get referred to the SGS

    I know your channel but I read about it in some interviews before. I had much luck because I just really got into A7x about a half year ago.

    What pick size you guys prefer ?

    I preferred to play with fingers as I started to not just strum. Half a year ago I really started to play with picks and I like to try around. Until now I like to use 0,72 or 0,88.
