    Guitar My new 1/1 redemption Syn Custom

    Thought I'd share this on here. Words can't describe how happy I am with this. 2010 model. Banged up and been played within an inch of it's life. And I love it.

    Playing with friends.

    I know it might be a bit much introducing him to drop tuning so soon, but if you showed me drop D (I learnt what drop D was on my second day of guitar and I probably wouldn't be still playing if I hadn't discovered it that early), maybe Animals by Nickelback? It's a fun easy tune to play...

    Picking fast

    Sound advice from both there. Papa Gates said it on the last stream. Everyone wants to pick fast and they want it quick. It doesn't come quick. It comes with YEARS of practice and patience. Play slow. Slow as you possibly can to get it flawless and clean. And then slowly increase the speed...

    Bias FX2 Syn Tone Question

    There's a lot to mess about with on EQ on bias FX. I always play around with the EQ on the rack mount (pictured). You can adjust those high and lows to your liking so your lead playing cuts through the mix but not too much when you don't want it too. Also differs in sound if you record listening...

    Thank you❤️

    Caught up with it last night and Papa Gates is an absolute magician. Lady Madonna and Eleanor Rigby are two songs hard enough to play on Piano. Dude just whacked them out for fun on guitar perfectly. Privileged to see that happen.

    Music that deeply touched me: The Batman Soundtrack!

    I enjoyed this! Such a good little read! I saw parts of this movie being filmed in my home town of Liverpool. Loooooots of people called the police seeing batman on top of the Liver building 🤦. Agree that the music is key to what makes it so dark and so different. I think the one thing that...

    Guitar Bending strings question

    Use ALL your fingers. Sounds a little mad, but your fingers need support in bending depending on the gauge of strings you're using. If you're trying to bend 12s with just your ring finger you'll struggle. It's also pointless jumping to bending two strings unless you can bend one comfortably...

    What is your "Everest"?

    I've been thinking a lot lately about guitar goals, and what I aim to be able to play in a certain amount of time (SMART targets if you will) and it got me thinking! What is your "Mount Everest" in guitar playing? Could be a technique, could be a solo, could be a full song, but I'm interested...

    Hey from the UK! Give me your motivation ideas!

    I'm at a place in my playing where I've realised that I've PLAYED guitar for 2 years but only probably PRACTICED guitar for less than 3/4 months. I hate it and it's frustrating me that I can't do the things I want to do. That's what you need to ask yourself. What is it you want to do, that...

    Can't believe my luck...

    What's happening Synners!!!! Some of you might know me as Django, and I've just redeemed my Legend+ status as part of my 1/1 perks with my most favourite NFT ever, Explorer. I cannot wait to delve into this community and get to know some of you, and most importantly LEARN from all of you...

    Low E string issues

    I knew a Floyd was a bad idea. I was sold on the dive bombs (that I can't even do yet 😐). Thanks for the advice mate! I'll order some new strings and get onto YouTube. Appreciate the advice.

    Low E string issues

    They're: Strings: NPS, .009-.042 Gauges Copied from the website I bought it from. Does gauge matter for drop D?

    Low E string issues

    Also I have a Floyd Rose floating bridge on my Jackson. It's at the most level angle anyone ever did see. So I don't think it's that.

    Low E string issues

    Can the string tension be altered on a guitar? Whenever I want to chug, literally in drop D with a metronome to practice my picking, the sting moves A LOT. No matter what angle I catch the string it seems to move massively with my pick, regardless of pick angle or how much of the pick is shown...

    Noob help!

    Man hit wood with stick. Easy. Man hit wood and string with tiny plastic triangle. Hard.

    Noob help!

    This place seems amazing. Thanks to both of you for the advice. It makes perfect sense now. I was all for wedging a drumstick between the strings I didn't need.

    Noob help!

    Hi! I have played the guitar for a total of 5 hours. So far I know what a D is and pretty much anything Papa Gates said in the introduction videos. I'm a drummer so please speak to me as if I'm a 5 year old child. When I play, I've discovered drop D and how easy (and fun) the main riff of...
