    Studio monitor recs?

    You could not go wrong. Both their accuracy and total replication range is completely unmatched at the price.

    Favourite guitarists ?

    Besides Syn? Right now these are the ones I'd say I take the most influence from. John Petrucci Rabea Massaad Jason Richardson Buckethead Guthrie Govan Charles Caswell Will Swan Each masters of the craft in their own unique way beyond just setting a "play all the notes" speedrun.

    Studio monitor recs?

    For the price they go, Kali LP6 stand head and shoulders over the others at their price range. Extremely good reponse through the driver design and cabinet engineering. You’ll get the widest range and most clarity from those all the way until you reach ADAM’s A series.

    Spotify year end stats.

    YES. I saw them live about two weeks after they dropped it with Gojira and Alien Weaponry. That was one hell of a night.

    Props to Mitch, he always holds great music interviews. Great guy.

    Considering Giving Up On Lead Guitar....

    Haha, I totally getcha! I'm definitely driving my bassist up a wall though :) Seriously, no matter what style you fall into, there's a niche that needs you to fill it. There's no superiority when it comes to the guitar. We're all making a piece of wood with metal wires sing.

    Considering Giving Up On Lead Guitar....

    Rhythm guitarists getting a reputation of being the B-tier guitarist in the band is (in my opinion that probably isn't worth 2 cents) bullshit. Y'know what a lead guitarist spends the majority of a song doing anyways? Playing the rhythm. The coolest shred solo gets people nodding their head with...

    Do you crank up your amp volume or guitar volume?

    Amp for decibel volume (and tube tone). Guitar volume control to me is purely an alternate tone knob.

    Learning on different neck/fret/scale sizes VS sticking to one?

    Over time you'll find yourself gravitating towards a specific set of preferences in your guitars, but I've never felt it was detrimental to my own personal playing to swap regularly between paper specs. If anything, it can help drill yourself more into muscle memory of the actual technique. I...

    Make a 6 string sound like 8

    Digitech Drop pedal. I've said for the better part of a decade that it's the only pedal along with my tuner that never has the option of leaving my board. Give it a look.

    Jeff Loomis Signature Jackson

    It's gonna be interesting to see how this goes - Jackson is not always known for their stellar quality control outside of their custom shop. But, all brands can improve, so I'll hope for the best.

    I have a question

    This is actually the exact reason why whenever I'm learning a new part/song and I have to do it quickly, I practice it on all the guitars I own. That way it becomes much more of a muscle memory thing and I feel like it really makes practice much more productive.

    On Single-Pickup Guitars

    Absolutely. And to talk about the great players (and whose guitar I picked up), Alexi Laiho stands out. He almost always played with one bridge pickup. Some of his new signatures coming out have a single coil in the neck, but I figure that's more to appeal to versatility. When you hear a...

    On Single-Pickup Guitars

    What's up everyone! It's definitely been a while since I've posted, but I thought I would share something interesting I've been thinking about lately, and maybe get peoples' opinions as well. Recently, I picked up a guitar with a single bridge pickup, and it's been an interesting experience in...

    Technique and the Modern Guitarist - thoughts after seeing Guns n Roses

    EVH's tremolo picking technique is a great example of this as well. He never missed a note doing it, ever, but you look at his right hand and go "what the hell?" It looks like he's just flopping it back and forth. But it's why he sounds the way he does. By all measures for "proper" technique...

    Sweetwater has a Syn Custom-S demo in black/gold for sale

    I hadn't seen that, that's a killer price for all of what the defect is.

    Whats your most fun A7X song to play?

    I've been having a blast with Paradigm lately.

    Sunday Scratch 4/25/21

    I've never branched into much writing heavily until lately. This is something I threw down to get my feelers in my new DAW and to also just have some drum programming under my belt as well. Please feel free to leave honest criticism! Specifically, I am not over the moon about the second half of...

    Whammy Bar for Les Paul

    Floyd Rose would be quite invasive into the body of the guitar. The least invasive installation of any trem system would be a Bigsby tremolo, but that would still involve a handful of screws.
