    Picks again........Those little plastic, nylon, metal tools.

    Whaddup Synners! So I have been playing around with different picks ever since the Rona stopped the world. And I settled on the Dunlop flow picks since then. But I always struggled with finding my pick of destiny! And for a while I thought I found it, a 4.20 mm Behemoth of a pick. Whilst...

    Take your time and enjoy the process

    Whaddup Synner Fam! Hope you are all doing good. Been a while I posted here, but as usual I lurk around here. I wanted to share some insights I came across over the last couple of months regarding the art of guitar. My first revelation was: slow down! In todays world days go by faster...

    Im done with this unfruitful pursuit. Goodbye shredding for now.

    Whaddup synners, been a while. I have been soul searching for a while lately. Things have stopped making sense. I soon will have played guitar for six years. Ever since encountered this site, my mind was obsessed with shredding( since most of the songs I like have sick shredding solos, that...

    The Genious of Lenny Breau

    Whaddup Synners! I know I have been kinda annoying about the master Lenny Breau, but I feel like I am obliged to share as much about him as I can, since he is not much known. In order to do so, I wanted to share with you some songs of his that I fell in love with: And if you are curious...

    CJ's 2 Cents on: Van Halen's Discography!

    On my journey of nurturing my ear I decided to do something I did back in my days of university (I’m dating myself….): I wrote down a bunch of bands of which I liked a couple of songs of and wanted to explore their entire studio catalog or discography. I wanted to hear the artists evolution of...

    Transcription ear training? Easy transcription songs?

    Whaddup Synners? For all my transcribers out there I had a question. I am starting to pick up ear training and I wanted to ask you all what would be more beneficial for me. For my age I know that I cannot develop a perfect pitch so would training intervals be more effective? Whad do you...

    With the risk of sounding like a narcissist....

    What is up Synner Fam?! As the title says I am coming to you with a risky proposal…but look at yourself more! I suggest that you have an archive of your videos (like in my case my Instagram account) and from time to time look at old videos of yourself. As with any hobby a positive feedback...

    Secret weapons time! Useful websites!

    Whaddup Synners?! Just wanted to share some sites that I found very useful for my current practice routine and goals. My favourite metronome to use: https://www.metronomeonline.com/ A timer that I like to use (because I like to structure my practice routine into time chunks instead of goal...

    Hi there my beloved Synner Family, CJ here (its been a while since I wrote here, love the new interface) Last couple of months/weeks have been crazy insane (For those who know, you know).

    CJ's 2 Cents Version 2.0.....but.....

    Whaddup folks CJ here! I just wanted to let you know several things regarding my 2 Cents videos here on the site. The videos I make are 100% only for the site, and with them I try to enrich the lessons that are here with my own "roadtested" methods. Sadly I am just a beginner in many aspects...

    Breaking down walls? Or something else?

    How is it going Synners? After another practice session today (and another fail at the planets solo), I just had an epiphany: This is just another wall. Sooner or later it will fall. I think you all faced these damn walls before, be it your first chord, song, or specially the F chord with the...

    The key is being relaxed, but how?

    Whaddup Synners! I was just having a go at my obsession planets and after listening to some podcast with Andy James and Rick Graham...one thing they pointed out is how hard sometimes it is to play relaxed. Because some of friends of mine practice martial arts, I noticed how similar the both...
