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

    I wanna hear whatever they wanna come up with! This band has always been their brain child, and they’ve been killin it for years! The only thing I want is for them to write without inhibition and limitation and just be as free as possible.

    Anyone else notice this?

    Hes always been about the economy picking. Lelouch is right though, he changed the way he held picks after really pursuing gypsy jazz. The bands composing abilities took a big leap after nightmare. I remember him saying in some interview that theu had been analyzing classical compositions with...

    Vlader Lauder?

    Yeah, I looked at it. It has like 80 followers. I think its probably just someone with a lot of time on their hands that likes to troll

    what's your favorite a7x album and why?

    They all have a ton of value in their own ways. Everyone listens to different music for different reasons. Many different songs serve a different purpose- some are happy, some are sad. Some simple, some complex. Some writen for a groove, some written for harmony and melody. I love them all...

    A question for the pros

    Yeah, Ive taught music before, professionally. Im mostly just a knowledgable guy though! I enjoy learning for the sake of learning, and not even just for music. I have a lot of passions like music of course, economics, social dynamics and structure, a little bit of history, science, martial...

    It's hard out here for a lefty……

    Btw, I also have a theory that its better to learn the opposite of what you would normally play. As a lefty, if I played right handed, my left hand would be the fretting hand which does most of the work. Just like righties should maybe play left handed? Especially when youre just starting out...

    It's hard out here for a lefty……

    Yeah I started on a righty guitar as well! I was super lucky because my first guitar was a right handed Gibson SG, which I strung backwards. It was a great guitar, with a super chunky neck so it had a great tone and made every other guitar so much easier to play. The one thing that really sucked...

    Stretching

    I’ve been meaning to get that video of the “Tornado of souls” solo up to show technique and hand position, but video recording has been crashing my system and I can only get about a minute out, so Ill get it up as soon as I figure that out.

    Gypsy Jazz Player

    Since people hve been talking about it and one of my teachers recently posted it- here is a video of Greg Harrison, who was also a teacher at the Musicians Institute, playing a bit of gypsy jazz. Is also a monster shredder and has a Meshuaggah-type band called P.D.P. He’s an all around great...

    Lets Share our Dream geetars

    Is that a reference to “airheads”? If it is, you just scored so many brownie points

    What Type of Shecter Guitar Would You Recommend For Me?

    Yeah price range is important, but more importantly is “what kind of music do you like?” list your top 5-10 favorite musicians/bands of all time to let us know what suits you best.

    What is your opinion on attending a music college ?

    Yeah dude, Im an MI graduate. It was a truely incredible experience being completely immersed in music and seriously rubbing elbows with literally THE BEST musicians in the world. Easily the best 2 years of my life, so far. My advice to ANYONE going to music school is #1 just focus on learning...

    Vlader Lauder?

    Volataic Oceans was the fake name for the album originally(supposedly) Chris Jericho “leaked” the album name, but it was to throw off the scent on the album release. They may still be doing something with that though, who knows?

    PRS or Schecter

    It depends on a lot of factors. I have owned mostly schecters and have been playing them since 2001 right around the time the diamond series started because I’ve always loved their neck profiles and the quality/price ratio. That being said, I caved and bought a PRS Custom 24 a few years ago when...

    How to get avenged sevenfolds tone?

    Here’s a short little video I just did. Notice how the sound changes when I moved my picking hand further up the strings and back down? Where you mute your strings makes a difference, how hard you pick makes a difference. I like to mute my strings really heavily and then pick really hard and it...

    How to get avenged sevenfolds tone?

    Tom, what gear do you currently use? All amps and pedals sound a bit different and need to be EQ’d a little differently to get a similar sound. Also, the gear that Synyster uses is somewhat high end and expensive, but that being said, he still sounds like Synyster Gates regardless of what he’s...

    Footswitch

    Honestly they ALL have a use and purpose. There is absolutely nothing wrong with using effect pedal, especially when they are used in the right way! I would say its best not to rely on them to make good music, you should do your best to do that with just you and your guitar, but there is no...
