Hey all,

Kind of a niche question, but does anyone know if/when this guitar will release? I saw Avenged live at MSG and I can't stop thinking about this guitar, but I also couldn't find anything online about it. I know it's a shot in the dark but I'm wondering if anyone knows about this guitar lol.

I have recently stumbled upon some footage of a band of superheroes -_-

Hey so I’ve been practicing a lot recently (I usually aim for bout 12 hours if not minimum of 10) but since I’ve completed all my assignments and shit I don’t really know what to do besides keep repeating the same things over and over and I don’t feel like that’s the best way to grow any tips or things to practice/ideas?

Okay so I have a Laguna ….LE 50 and trying to palm mute is like a BEACH I’m either muting too much or not muting at all, and I can’t figure out how to have a decent medium because even if I do get a decent muting I can’t really play on the bridge pick up because my hand can’t bend that far.

PLEASE HELP

I made a preset for Syn’s synth guitar on Nobody . It’s for Fractal products like the Axe FX. Read the thread linked below for the preset and more info.

You could totally make this sound in your DAW too, or anything that can do saw synth waves.

as a couple of people have posted about, the tab / sheet music does not follow along with what pap gates or syn are explaining in lessons, and any threads i've found about it have been answered "will be fixed soon", but this has been said since january. Is now july, apologies for beating the dead horse but any ETA on when we can learn again?

Yesterday, an Amazon order arrived with my first pedals, a Donner noise gate and the Digitech Drop—a huge thank you to those who chimed in on the thread here, by the way. Had a very fun time trying out the Drop for songs in Drop C# and Drop C, such as playing rhythm to "Hail to the King" without pitch-shifting the recording—so much fun! But what tripped me up was finding notes for some other songs I'm still working on, like one that could be played in Drop D (which I was doing), but is technically in Drop C#.

I'm going to guess I'm going to have to re-learn the fretboard to some extent for each tuning. Any tips, aside from going through the process for learning it the first time in E Standard? I really want to stick to standard notation as much as possible and stay away from simply using tab as a crutch.

What is your guy's preferred guitar of choice? For me it's this kiesel Dc600 I got a couple years ago. Love it and I've yet to play another guitar that plays as well as it does tbh.

Did brooks every play drums for Tenacious D????

Hey I’m from Dayton and I was wondering if anyone knows where and or already does jam sessions and doesn’t mind me tagging with them I’m a pretty shy person and I’m also wanting to boost my confidence and people skills as well as have a fun time with some musicians that love music I can play a lot of styles of music but I’m strongest in funk and metal

Hey all, I haven't been active on this website for a while and I have a question that seemingly everyone around me has a different opinion on. It's really simple, I just need to learn how to clean my fretboard, but yet I've gotten all sorts of different answers and I want to make sure I take extra care of my guitar. The fretboards are very dirty, as I had stopped playing for a while due to personal circumstances. Over the hiatus the fretboards for my guitars are caked in oil and soot and I want to get them looking brand new again. I initially spent about an hour or so rubbing off some of the more obvious dirt with a guitar pick, as to not scratch the wood, but there is still a considerable amount of residue left over. I heard to use steel wool, or lemon oil to get it out, but I don't want to damage the guitar. The frets are also not as shiny anymore, any recommendations on how to properly clean and take care of my guitars?

Thanks for the help!

Hi Everyone, just wanted to say a huge thank you for all the support on my last post and for helping me to realise that my practicing was all over the place. I have tried to narrow my focus to the things that are my weakest areas and areas which I am most interested in and thats theory.

Besides 1st position of the major scale and the minor pentatonic my theory knowledge was practically non-existent, even down to the notes on each fret. Thats all changing.

I have recently been trying to learn theory in digestible chunks which I think was the biggest issue in my approach to theory.

I have managed to slowly start learning the fretboard and as stupid as it sounds came uo with the idea to use spinners to reel of a note and string to help with recall.

The other thing I started to work on were the major scale shapes. I already knew the first 2 however I have been able to get 5 out of the seven so far and I am currently working on getting more confident recalling any position in any key.

The end goal is to hopefully start doing more improv and composition as I have been more and more interested in jazz and players like Guthrie Govan and Plini. Currently my melodies sound like ass but ss always, one step at a time.

Honestly, this song might be a bit above my skill level, but I'm still trying it anyway. I'm having a bit of difficulty working out the chords being played along with figuring out the tuning the song is played in.

The band usually plays in Drop G# (7 string) and this song seems to be on clean guitar + acoustic mix. Are they using jazz voicings for this? Is it a four-note chord? Maybe someone can help shed some light for me.

Howdy,

Is there software that can record from guitar and convert it to tab ?

I can't even think of what to google for with respect to this.

cheers !

Rev came out with a guitar pedal that was partially designed by ChatGPT lol. That's pretty cool. Said it's similar to like a bluesbreaker sound. Limited to 500 pieces.

Hi everyone! Hope you are all doing great!
Is there any source of raw material of A7X songs (like Almost Easy, etc.), Everything separated into different tracks/files? I would really like to learn mixing and mastering on A7X songs, but I don't want to use tools to separate guitars, vocals, etc. because it would really ruin the sound of everything. Thank you everyone!

Currently, I have a Schecter Omen Extreme-6 going into an Orange Crush 20 (not the RT version). The only accessory I have for the setup is an Orange footswitch to change between the amp's clean and dirty channels, and honestly, it stays on the dirty setting except when tuning.
I really want to get a noise gate to deal with the extra noise that comes with high gain. For that, I'm thinking the Donner Noise Killer would work. I'd also like to get a Digitech Drop to play in more tunings without extra setup or gear.
Two questions:

1. All the videos I've seen suggest putting both those effects before distortion. If the amp is handling the distortion internally, that counts as coming after the effects, right? My logic is that it's guitar → pedal → pedal → amp (with distortion circuitry), but maybe I'm way off. Total noob here.
2. Second, any recommendations for the pitch shifter? I know the Drop is good, but it isn't cheap. I'm not looking for an octave pedal, nor a vibrato-ish pedal—just semitones. I'll buy the Drop if that's really the best option, but if I can save money, obviously that's preferable.

Thanks in advance for the input!

Hello, so this is my first time asking for help so I’m sorry if this question is confusing but I’ve recently been trying to learn songs by ear (for the past few months) I’ve gotten a few songs down by humming the song then playing it but I feel like there’s a better way are there any tips on how to do it? I also don’t have perfect pitch so I don’t know how to get “the next best thing”

Does anyone know what the tats on Brian’s hands say? I was looking through pictures and couldn’t find any answers. I know there are probably my a few people on here who do know so please let me know.

Okay, so after I went and talked to my counselor cause I have pretty stressful situations at home, he informed me that his dad had played guitar but he had to connect a hose or something to the guitar and wait for it to like power up or something but every 15 minutes he would get electrocuted… If anyone has answer what kind of guitars were there back then

Just curious if anyone has used a Tremmory on their Custom S? If so what size did you get? Or are there any other Floyd Rose stabilizers that you prefer?

Hello everyone, die hard fan since City Also been playing guitar for about that long.. I am absolutely baffled it took me this many Years to realize, Syn and Pops have there own site/class. Anyway. Glad to be here. Syns been my favorite Guitarist ever since I heard his Solo on "Bat Country". City of Evil immediately became my favorite album. After that was Nightmare. It also came out at the perfect time for me to really feel it. (listened to "Buried Alive" for 2 hrs. straight when my Father was Passing Away) I have had a ton of bad stuff happen in my life and some how they have always had a song to help me through.. Between Matts Powerful Vocals and Syns masterful Playing, I have always had a song for a moment. Just glad to share it with other fans alike.

Curious to see everyone's favorite albums. For me Nightmare is definitely my favorite, can't beat it in my opinion. Two of my top five songs by avenged are on it. What about you guys?

So I'm ordering my tickets to A7X's show in Tinley Park and I noticed the Stage Left Lounge pass that you can add on to it. I was wondering if anyone knows if I would need to buy that for everyone in my group or if I only need the one?

Hi guys!
I’ve got a Schecter Synyster Standard from 2008, and I wanted to know if the newer models had the same neck profile?
Thanks in advance!
