    How fast are you guys?

    The fastest I was able to pick back in the day was 16th notes at 360 or 24 per second, which at the time broke the record from what I was able to find but this was also the beginning of the online guitarists competition to beat each other in speed and people posted stuff much faster not long...

    Synyster Single Coil Pickups

    Coil taps and actual single coils aren’t quite the same, otherwise every guitar would just have humbuckers with coil taps. True single coil tone sounds pretty different. The syn humbuckers might sound good in a single coil version, but the syn pickups were voiced to have a heavy humbucker tone...

    Probably my favorite "Where are they now?" example ever…

    This may be a little before a lot of you guys’ time, but a LONG time ago there was a video floating around of this 9 year old kid that was half the size of his own guitar straight up SHREDDING some Yngwie licks among other things. It was nothing short of impressive and it put all of us shredders...

    The great Rick Beato interview with Syn

    If you guys dont know about Rick Beato, that guy gets into some DEEP theory stuff and is seriously one of, if not THE greatest, musical resources of the YouTube age.

    10-52 or 11-54?

    I use the old Zakk Wylde GHS 10-60 for standard and drop D. I think they’re called “heavyweights” now.The extra thick low string is great for tight riffing and keep everything in tune a bit better since it doesnt flop around as much. You might run into some issues with the strings binding at the...

    Who here can play The Wicked End Solo?

    Im still not fully setup for recording things properly, but just so you dont have to wait, I tabbed out the solo and section just before it on powertab so you can hear what it sounds like. I will do a video, soon, playing the solo and explaining what I think was going through Syn’s mind as he...

    Does bad technique matter if results are good?

    I think a lot of people are kind of confused about what “good” technique is. The only thing you should be considering when judging technique is “Does it sound good and is the player conveying the idea that they want to convey how they want it?” Lots of rock players in the old days had what many...

    Help with the M.I.A Solo

    Here it is in powertab format if you cave on not doing it by ear. I only changed the main solo part, this is otherwise transcribed by some other dude on ultimate guitar. Everything seems pretty accurate. The only part that isnt 100% is the last lick of the first solo before the harmony in the...

    Help with the M.I.A Solo

    If you want a tab for that, I got you. I learned that solo when it first came out in 2005 by ear and have since revised the fingerings after I saw a video of syn playing it. I am 100% sure it’s accurate at this point.

    Who here can play The Wicked End Solo?

    For sure! I just moved out of state recently and am finishing up my office. Once I have everything setup to record in the next couple days, I’ll post that video.

    What kind of pedals do I need for the a7x sound?

    The biggest component is going to be your amp rig. In my opinion, a nice amp is the first think you should go for to get the sound you want. You can buy a $100 guitar and put decent pickups in it and get a great sound if you have the right amp. Also knowing good EQ and gain settings is very...

    Who here can play The Wicked End Solo?

    I just went back and figured this out again after like 10 years if you’re still interested. Im pretty sure I got all the positions right as well.

    YouTube Help!! People Are Seeing My Unlisted Videos!!

    Unlisted means that it doesnt show up in searches, but it can still be seen if its linked somewhere else or someone saved it as a favorite. Private, on the other hand, makes it so NO ONE else can see it but you.

    Who here can play The Wicked End Solo?

    Man, I had a version of that recorded on myspace from like 12 years ago, but I think they took all my videos down. I may mess with it again and figure it out if I have time.

    Peavey JSX Amplifier settings help

    I used to rock one of those amp, pretty great for what they were! I would use the crunch channel, maybe use the fat switch? I never really heard a big difference with that, but when you are using an overdrive in front of the amp, it helps to have a fat tone to begin with so the sound doesnt thin...

    Yet another post about recording

    I dont know what a lot of money is to you, but you can spend maybe $200 or less between a mic and a recording interface that will get you great results. If that sounds like something you’re interested in, there are scarlett solos(which are great) are 109 brand new. Or you can get one NIB(new in...

    Adjusting String Action with a Floyd Rose

    I didnt watch the whole thing, but the title says complete and its 45 minutes long, so give it a shot. Also there are tons of other youtube videos. Type in “floyd rose setup” and “floyd rose action”

    Creating a sinister/ creepy sounding metal song

    You’re talking about a certain vibe and a lot of that creepy and sinister vibe is going to come down to production and recording techniques. Like think about the beginning of shepherd of fire when you hear the crackling of the fire, the wind blowing, that super low tuba note, the bell tower. Its...
