    Syn-o-caster (Custom Synyster Gates stratocaster)

    That’s pretty sweet! I can say for certain it’s the first I’ve ever seen. One day you should add pinstripes if you’re ever feeling up to it. Customization and modding is awesome.

    Best way to treat my Synyster Custom?

    I have an Avenger SLS which is next to the same guitar. I change the strings about once every month, but that’s because I’m really picky. I generally don’t use any oils or wax. When I changed mine from standard to drop D, I only had to make a very small adjustment to the top spring in the rear...

    which Trans siberan orchestra song should I learn

    Ever since I first picked up a guitar I’ve wanted to learn The Mountain. Really good guitar work there. And Wizards in Winter is my favorite of their seasonal songs. And Faith Noel.

    Every A7X fan here HAS to check out this band

    Wage War, Oceans Ate Alaska, and Make Them Suffer are three really good metalcore bands while we’re on the topic. And the drummer for OAA is legit probably the best drummer I’ve ever heard. Check out his playthrough video on YouTube of Escapist. Man’s a beast.

    Guitar Center Going Out of Business and The Music Industry

    Daily Reminder For Testimony Video Submissions!

    I’ll do a talking bit 🙂

    when to move on

    I try to spend about a week to a week and a half on a lesson, however, I never feel like I’ve truly moved on from a lesson. I feel, at least in my practice, that it’s always important to revisit even the most basic things. Before this school, I had a bad habit of believing that I was in a sense...

    How to develop your own style?

    I try to draw certain techniques from certain players who I like how they do it. IE Syn’s alternate picking style, Steve Vai’s whammy accents, David Gilmour’s bending, etc. After enough time playing the instrument, you tend to develop your own sound based on your habits. That’s why you can...

    Daily Reminder For Testimony Video Submissions!

    I’ll try to get something together this afternoon if I remember. Sounds like a great idea

    Which Unholy Confessions Intro version do you prefer?

    Definitely the love version. Nothing beats the tempo drops.

    Heretic Solos

    It sounds to me like there’s a subtle chorus effect going on. One with the depth and rate turned down so it’s smooth and flowing. Sounds similar to my chorus pedal at least.

    ADHD & Music/Practice

    @mariler, that’s some very helpful advice, thank you. I oftentimes practice standing up so I can move around as I practice, it sounds like that may be similar to the unstable seat.

    ADHD & Music/Practice

    I definitely agree. Usually my go-to method for practice is to learn a song with a specific technique I wanna learn, which is great cuz then I can relate the technique to a song, but it doesn’t completely allow me to take that technique and apply it elsewhere as easily.

    ADHD & Music/Practice

    Hey fellow students, I have a question for y’all. So basically, I have ADHD-C, which is basically most of the symptoms of ADHD. I’m forgetful, disorganized, I can’t pay attention easily, I fidget, and I have trouble focusing on any one thing for a period of time, among other things.. Like right...

    Also, you can bet a buck I’ll be buying some of those signature pickups when they start getting sold on here. Looking forward to it!

    Any Testimonies?

    I bought a mic and pedal from Musician’s Friend. Both well-packaged and arrived in good time. No complaints from me.
