    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?!

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Very good evening to all of you! 🤘🏻 I've been busy with life again but I wanted to make video to honour Jimmy. I'm a little late but I hope it doesn't matter. I actually wanted to make a better and longer video but I just simply didn't have time so I made this today. Let's all stop what we are...

    Boss Katana 100 mk2 sound check!

    I've meant to do this for a month now and finally I grabbed my self from the neck and did it! Only a short video though, because my internet is fucked. Finally I'm starting to be somewhat close to figuring out the right sound for myself. Btw. Do you guys have any tips to improve my playing...

    I think I might need help..

    So, straight to the thing. I’ve almost hit an dead end, again. I know that it’s normal when you’re learning to play but I just feel like my progression is way too slow, especially on the more technical stuff. I don’t know if it’s my overall playing technic which sucks and makes my progression...

    Unable to learn any faster solos?

    Hi. I’ve been quiet for a long time but don’t worry, I’ve been practicing almost daily. I’m not good at writeups but I finally figured something out and felt the need to say it out loud because that’s why these forums exist so just bare with me. Let’s start from my own experience. I’ve been...

    Clumsy fingers

    First of all, hi to all of you. I’m Riku from Finland and I’m self-taught guitarist who has been playing on an acoustic for a little over a year now. I feel like I have extra clumsy fingers some times and that just makes my motivation go down.. for an example; I have a lot of chords in the...
