    A returning synner..

    Thanks for the reply and good to know! I guess I’ll have to download the discord then. Never used it before but I’d definitely like to ”get back” to the community. I liked how active these forums, or should I say the users were back then but this is the future I guess. Thanks for the link too.

    A returning synner..

    Hi, I don’t know if any of you really remember me 😅 It definitely has been a while, 3 years to be exact. I’ve been playing but not very often as life got in the way. I started singing, usually in my car while I’m driving to work because no one can hear me then 😂 Because of the singing I was...

    Am I doing everything wrong?!

    You all got some great points! Could be fun to test how hard it is to play mirrored 🤔 There's only one way to find out I guess..

    Am I doing everything wrong?!

    Never thought about that 🤔 What if could learn faster to shred with a leftie? That's what im thinking, but then again, I'd basically have to relearn everything 😂

    Am I doing everything wrong?!

    Hello, Now that I'm working on night shift for 12 hours, I've had some time to think. I'm born as a leftie but I play right handed. That's because my right hand is the stronger one, and I do everything with the right hand exept writing and eating. So playing right handed has always felt natural...

    Any Norwegian or Finnish Students?

    Im Finnish so I could always try. Can't promise that it'll be 110% correct though 😂

    Pickup squeal

    Yeah, I usually do it Ed. This was an example. Most of time it just starts to squeal so fast that I find it very annoying.

    Pickup squeal

    Thanks for the fast answers! 🙂 Never had this bad of a squeal before even with high gain but havent used the booster yet.. Dominik, I tried to look for it yesterday but couldn't find it. I guess I need to Look again. Thanks.

    Pickup squeal

    Hi there fellow Synners! Now that I took my laptop and really dived in to the settings of my Katana I came up with a great sound, BUT I can't use any volume because my pickups starts to squeal as soon as I stop playing.. Anything I can do besides maybe buying new pickups? BTW. My gain is just...

    BOSS Katana Patches

    Okay. That's nice to know since I have the mk2. I could try it out.

    BOSS Katana Patches

    Nice Idea Adin, and great work with the sounds! Do the mk1 patches work in mk2?

    Proud of myself..

    Yeah. I had to focus too much to the notes and sometimes I have a hard time hearing the metronome. I will definitely give it a try. Somehow I never even thought about using s drum track 😅 Thanks for the tip!

    Proud of myself..

    Thanks Jak! I'd say both 😁 I don't know why but it's harder for me to sweep if I'm going slow. I really need to focus on letting the pick drop to the next string. Probably didn't help that I just made little changes to the pattern before I hit the record button because I really had to focus to...

    Proud of myself..

    I was training the fast sweep-part of the Nightmare solo and while I was noodling I came up with this pattern by ear and guessing, which I then started to practice with a metronome. Took probably an hour or so to get it to that stage but I feel like I'm proud of myself because this was the first...

    Hey guys

    Welcome to the Synyster Gates school! Most of the people in this community has probably felt the same at some point. I had that feeling multiple times when I started playing two years ago, but like Kai said, don't give up! Don't even think that as an option. You just need to try to practice...

    Moving In To The New Year...

    I know the feeling, believe me. Feels like shit everytime. One can only hope, like you said, so let's do that. Let's hope that you'll find them some day. Just remember that we are here for you, always.
