    Home Studio Gear Question

    So I want to expand my home studio and really start learning to record and mix to have at least a semi-professional sound. Currently I’ve got a Presonus interface to get the mics or guitars into the computer. I’ve got two mics: an Sm57 and a Sm58. I think this will suffice for instruments but...

    Seize the day solo questions

    I’m not sure why…but I’ve always disliked the middle position lol. I don’t think I ever use it intentionally. I’m going to try to use it more often😂

    Favorite A7X Guitar Solo?

    It really depends on which type of solo you want me to name a favorite lol. There’s the soulful ones like Seize the Day and Gunslinger. And there are the solos that just slap you in the fucking face with awesomeness like Afterlife or The Wicked End. It’s hard to choose.

    Seize the day solo questions

    I definitely use the neck pickup. And I’ll have to play it when I go home but I think the harmonic at the end of the solo is at 10 on the g-string. When I was taught how to play pinch harmonics, I was told that if you imagine an entire fretboard between the end of the actual fretboard and where...

    Favorite A7X Guitar Solo?

    Omg. I can’t pick one lol. I guess I might be able to narrow it down to one per album but even that is tough. StST: Not much for guitar solos, but I love the piano solo in Warnmess on the Soul WTF: Second Heartbeat CoE: The Wicked End Self-Titled: Almost Easy Diamond in the Rough: The Fight...

    Shocking news for me… opinions?

    Congrats! If it’s a girl, maybe Briana for a feminine version of Brian?

    Picking hand stance

    Just concentrate on what works for you. Adjust your technique until it feels good and gets you the result you’re looking for. When I look at guitarists I wish I could play like, they don’t all use the same position with their pick hands.

    Nylon or steel?

    I have an acoustic with steel strings. While I enjoy playing it, I find myself wishing I had one with nylon strings because of the mellow sound and feel.

    Dream Trade-Off Solo With Syn?

    So many great songs to choose from! Anything with a badass rhythm but also a portion of the solo that contains dual leads! Bat Country, The Wicked End, The Stage, Critical Acclaim, etc.

    Randy Rhoads – gone 36 years today

    I can safely say that he is the guitarist that inspired me to play. I had already started lessons, and I liked it, but then I heard Crazy Train and that opening riff. And then the solo. And it was over, I fell in love with guitar and heavy metal all in one moment. Cheers to you Randy, probably...

    Schecter Synyster Gates Guitar

    I got lucky and was able to find a white model with the black stripes that was barely used. Back when it was being sold, I wasn’t able to save up quick enough to buy it lol. I always kinda like the joker purple one with the green stripes too but not enough to get it.

    Schecter Synyster Gates Guitar

    Honestly, I have one Custom-S and two Custom models and if I were you, I’d wait and save more for the one with the Sustainiac. The amount of satisfaction of being able to play some of Syns parts that require it is huge. For me, the divebombs near the beginning of Beast and the Harlot were the...

    which guitar should I save up for

    The Damien is fantastic but I would say might be the one I’d cross off the list first. I’ve had one and they’re great, but the rest of that list is even better in my opinion

    Schecter Synyster Gates Guitar

    I would go with the model that has the Sustai I’ve got two without and one with, and I have to say the one with is my favorite and most fun to play!

    Any good AMP recommendations for metal? (Files attached) Marshall Dsl40c

    I use the Line 6 Spider V, and while they get a lot of crap, I find that the ability to edit and create your own tones goes a lone way. The stock metal tones aren’t great, but you can create better ones. And it’s pretty affordable, otherwise I’d go with the AxeFx from Fractal like Syn uses.

    my new composition

    Some really cool sounding stuff here! Just needs some transitions between parts to make it flow a little easier, can I ask what gear/software you used?

    How to deal with keeping the Floyd Rose guitar in tunepast the 12 fret?

    Ed is right! You think the Almighty Synyster Gates (and countless others) would use a Floyd Rose if it wasn’t in tune!? Clearly your “guitar tech” must be a drummer😝
