    Is Schecter Synyster Custom-S for me?

    I love my Custom-S. As mentioned above, the Floyd Rose looks tricky, but you just need to watch a few YouTube videos to learn how to use it and you’ll be a pro in no time. And it’s fun to play with. Same goes for the Sustainiac pickup! The action and playability on the guitar is so nice and the...

    Elton John

    This man Rocks like a Croc! And if I’m not mistaken, M. Shadows uses Elton John tunes to help him warm up before a show🤘🏽

    Time issue

    Really when I find myself lacking time to really sit down and practice, I make sure that I’ve got at least 10 minutes to play a day. Anyone can find a spare 10 minutes on just about any given day and the most important thing about those 10 minutes is this: Play something you enjoy, and play...

Lol. It’s hard for me to make it to shows...

    Guitar Work You'd Like To Hear On The Next A7X Album

    Personally I find that if I go into it with some sort of expectation, I end up disappointed in some way. And especially with Avenged Sevenfold… as we all know, no one record sounds like another and so each time I hear a new one, it’s shock followed by delight and amazement with each listen. I...

    Toxic Trolls

    It’s fantastic! I’ve been playing for 13 years, and I’m no expert and am just as nervous as any beginner on here to showcase what I can do. But I’m grateful for this place and how it pushes me to be in the mindset of a beginner where I can just absorb all of this amazing information

    Damn you syn!!! Sarcastically of course

    Excellent, you’re doing it the right way! Take your time and get it down with good position and posture first and the speed will follow. It’s much easier than having to relearn things when you’ve done them wrong for some time! It would be cool to be able to jam with you over live video. I’ll be...

    I don’t think we’ll need the report button. We’ve got good people here already that would make sure they got taken care of. Plus we have Syn and Papa looking out for us too!

    Damn you syn!!! Sarcastically of course

    I was 85% there with Critical Acclaim at one point! Had everything down except those little runs Syn does during the dual part! Bat Country I can kinda pull of most of the solo but it’s sloppy:/ But I’ve got at least one of the dual parts down!

    Show us your music collection

    I don’t have a big physical collection. Some vinyl, but it’s newer and mostly A7X vinyl (one of which is The Stage signed by all five members!) However, I noticed the Amon Amarth in your profile pic and wanted to comment on it, haven’t listened to them in awhile but will have to get back in...

    Singing AND playing?

    Alexi Laiho from Children of Bodom has always impressed me with the lead parts he plays while singing! But it’s all about practice. When I first started trying to sing and play together, I thought I’d never get it. Then I saw Syn singing backups during the chorus of Beast and the Harlot and I...

    Quick question about TABS and sheet music.

    You will definitely maximize your potential by having a solid understanding of both. You can become an amazing guitarist without either. But the best thing to help you grow is to play with other musicians, and that works best if you can all read the same type of music language.
