    Favorite Distortion Pedal(s)?

    Xotic effects makes some great stuff. I used a boss Super overdrive ala zakk wylde for years and it worked well. I also have the Xotic BB Preamp and it is much more versatile I would say, but a bit more expensive. The MXR Zakk wylde, speaking of Zakk, is great and has a bunch of useable low end...

    What was the harmony thing?

    do I need to learn every mode and scale

    I wouldnt say that you NEED to learn every mode and scale. The important thing is that you can create different sounds in your mind and then pull them out of your chosen instrument. The scales are just ways to explain the sounds that we hear. The MOST important part of theory is having a good...

    Song suggestions for Volume-Pedals

    Yeah, you could do this if you have a delay. Yngwie uses his volume knob on his guitar, but you could totally do it with the volume pedal as well.

    Song suggestions for Volume-Pedals

    Volumes are probably more commonly used in a live setting to control how loud you are with the band. I lot of guys have used it as an effect though. Its usually used to take the initial attack off of a note so you dont hear the pick. Its just a smooth note. Here’s a video of Kirk and Jason from...

    Needing a tab for this

    I was right I think, its a rotary sound with some delay and that sustainer. Its like the sound Stevie Ray Vaughan on the song “Cold Shot”. Here’s a video of me kinda demonstarting it. Excuse the sloppy lick at the end. It’s 5:30 in the monring and I havent slept yet.

    Sustaniac

    Its pretty much exactly like an ebow, but way more effective since you dont have to hold onto it. People here talk about it all the time because its in some models of the Synyster Custom guitar. Here’s a video with Pete Thorn kinda demonstrating it, which on that note, if you dont know about...

    Looking for free skype lessons

    That’s kind of a tall order, especially for a consistent schedule of lessons. It’s gonna be hard to find someone who’s willing to dedicate their time for free. That being said, I’ll give you a couple lessons and hopefully put you on a decent track. Just shoot me a message on here and we can set...

    What drives you?

    Usually just the amp with a little tubescreamer or sometimes a BB preamp in front of it.

    Needing a tab for this

    A sustainer. I believe thats a fernandez guitar. Its what he used before he had the sustainiac, Im pretty sure. And some delay and possibly some kind of chorus or quick rotary effect. Probably the chorus though.

    Contacting Schecter

    I have a schecter with a floyd rose and the bar snapped with normal use within like a month getting it. I called them and they invited me down to the factory to replace it(I lived in West Hollywood at the time) and they set it up for me really quick so it played perfectly when I left. This all...

    Axe FX II Rig!

    I dont know if selling things here is frowned upon or not, but I guess Ill test the waters. If any moderators dont want me to take this down, Ill be happy to. Im selling my Fracal Audio Axe FX II XL with MFC 101 Mark III and 9(!!!) cab packs from ML Sound Lab which includes all the Misha Mansoor...

    Can you create your own scales?

    I dont know if there is necessarily a name for this scale but its more of less A Major that also has the #4 or lydian note. You could totally throw that B back in there and it would work the same way. Post your riff and we can get a better idea how you’re using it!

    Can you create your own scales?

    Post the riffs and we can analyze them! The technical definition of a scale is “any set of musical notes ordered by fundamental frequency or pitch. A scale ordered by increasing pitch is an ascending scale, and a scale ordered by decreasing pitch is a descending scale.” Its more important to...

    Is CAGED really that bad?

    That “learning technique to forget it” is a great way of thinking about it! Im huge on psychology and how people work and a big part of that is excellence and achievement. There’s a book that Ive been reading that talks about modeling excellence and they go into the “learning model” and the...

    double Harmonic Scale

    Both are dope dude! It’s sounds like you have a very creative and musical mind. The only advice I could give is dont get too stuck on individual successes. When you come up with a great musical idea, its super easy to just focus on that one idea. While repetition is SUPER important when writing...
