    Easy song suggestions

    Any suggestions for songs that are relatively easy to learn for beginners? I keep finding myself learning chunks of songs, but not other sections due to the techniques and skill those sections require (Enter Sandman being one example). Many thanks! 😀

    To A7X and Syn gates Lets talk about what we want the next album to be like

    I don’t have a strict vision for what direction I want to see them take. I want something different but still familiar, which is what the stage did really well, and Hail to the King imo. As long as the passion is there then it will show, and I will more than likely enjoy it!

    Breaking bad habbits

    I have been playing for 5 months, and I find myself still making stupid mistakes, like missing strings, strumming the wrong string or hitting the wrong fret. Are these habbits that ever get completely broken, or does everybody (including our Lord and saviour Synyster Gates) do this from time to...

    Practicing

    I’ve had the same thing happen to me before. Everybody has off-days where they don’t have any motivation to practice. I just begin to try out new exercises to keep things fresh as long as it’s still within my capabilities, or go back and refresh my memory on something I may have forgotten...

    Where's my pick?

    When you’re playing an acoustic guitar and it gets lost in the hole….. true pain.

    Tips to make the site better!

    Another good feature would be a member counter showing how many people are signed up, or even better a “players online” counter to show how many people are online at this very moment.
