    🍑STUDENT PROJECT DEADLINE THIS FRIDAY🍑

    Alrighty, I see. While my stuff was supposed to arrive today it hasn’t, because the people running the store are idiots and now it’ll arrive on Monday (oct 1). So i’ll see if I can play anything noteworthy and not forget it lol

    🍑STUDENT PROJECT DEADLINE THIS FRIDAY🍑

    Oh didn’t notice that the deadline was apparently yesterday (that ain’t friday btw lol). But how does it work? Is it just that I send you something under a minute and then a month later send the same thing so we can all be like yay we improved? Or is there something else that i’m missing...

    🍑STUDENT PROJECT DEADLINE THIS FRIDAY🍑

    My first guitar should arrive in 2 days so I may join. It won’t be impressive though lol, maybe like playing a couple of chords or something.

    Intervals Notation Question.

    yeah I know that’s why I put it right after each other with the slashes and stuff

    Intervals Notation Question.

    Ids you forgot the tritone/augmented fourth/diminished fifth buddy. Also Vussel there is a tenth but it’s rarely used, usually folks just say a third (which it is but an octave higher)

    Need Help With a Band Name :(

    Between The Buried And Me got their name from a lyric from a different (quite unrelated) band/song, forgot which it was. But you can try the same. Find a song you think has good lyrics and look for something that might fit without it sounding very copycat.

    Rhythm or lead

    Lead sounds more fun but rhythm is kinda more important, IMO, there’s already the vocals for the main melody.

    Should I be ashamed for pirating softwares?

    If you’re still an amateur/beginner, who cares. Go for it. If you wouldn’t have bought it anyways, the business hasn’t lost any actual sales. Remember, with piracy mankind is intellectually richer. Also, you’re not making any money from the music you’re making (I assume) so that’s makes it even...

    What lessons would you like to see added?

    Writing music and applying all the knowledge would be really useful. Also maybe some setup stuff. Also breaking down songs: chord progressions, scales, and how to play it in general would be cool. You could also just list songs that go with certain lessons, e.g. Highway To Hell goes really well...

    Music games

    Well, Amon Amarth has a game with their music in 8bit which is pretty cool but it’s not really for learning, it’s a platformer.

    Ideal Concert In Your Opinion

    1. Dream Theater (somewhere in 1992-1994 when LaBrie’s voice was still perfect and raspy) 2. Marillion (Fish-era) 3. Pink Floyd (meddle-the wall era) I’d love to see A7X too but it’d be stupid to choose ’em if I can also resurrect dead/disbanded bands lol.

    What do you guys like most about the school?

    Basically what all the other said, and also the fact that the lessons are very complete. You not only get a lesson + tabs, they are also synced perfectly AND you can see the fretboard (very useful, I find it much easier to visualize like that instead of just tabs) AND there are backing tracks...

    Favorite Syn Solo

    I think it’s Exist for me. Especially the intro, it’s awesome.

    It's hard out here for a lefty……

    Maybe you should’ve started on a right handed guitar, I think it wouldn’t have made a difference in the learning process. Then you ofc have the benefit of being able to use waaaaaaay more guitars.

    Favourite Avenged Sevenfold song and why

    Either Exist or A Little Piece Of Heaven. Both amazing!

    What genre do you play ? Is someone here who dosen't even play guitar?

    I like especially prog rock/prog metal, but I also like rock/metal in general. Bands like Dream Theater, Megadeth, Metallica, Pink Floyd, Marillion, Between the Buried and Me, ofc A7X, stuff like that.
