Just wanted to say: respect, sir! You're an amazing human being! Thank you so much for all the time, work and thought you put into all these amazing videos! It's people like you that make me question what I want to leave behind, what is my contribution to this world - and in the process maybe (or not) find some semblance of meaning. Aaaaaaaanyway, I highly respect you and wish you all the best!

Ciao Papà Gates, innanzitutto voglio davvero ringraziare te e Syn per averci dato la possibilità di migliorare ogni giorno con questo incredibile sito. Fortunatamente la maggior parte dei video funziona di nuovo, ma alcuni continuano a non funzionare, ad esempio quelli sulla tua Masterclass di blues o alcuni su Syn'etudes e molti altri. Comunque grazie ancora e stai al sicuro.

Hello Mr. Haner Sr,

First of all, thank you for setting up and running this great guitar site!!

Unfortunately, I'm having an issue with this page;

https://syngates.com/lessons/edcag-playing-over-two-minor-chords-lesson-36.36/

When I click the green MARK COMPLETE box, a blue MARK COMPLETE box opens so that I can "confirm completion."

But when I click on the blue box I get redirected to an error page which reads:

----

Error 502 Ray ID: 63946f898e5b5f02 • 2021-04-01 20:06:02 UTC

Bad gateway
You Browser: Working
Tokyo Cloudflare: Working
syngates.com: Host Error

It's been like this for four days. I am based in Japan, and I'm not using VPN.

Anyway, thank you again for all your help and inspiration!!

Was it you that was saying you and Syn did the outro on sidewinder when the Spanish scales kicked up?

Would it be possible to buy a signed copy of Carney Man? Please let me know! Thanks

Hey PG,

I saw you asking for a link to my rundown of your solo somewhere. So here it is, some pretty cool stuff in there(I also tweaked some bits a little bit because that's what I do with everything

)

Hey Papa Gates!

I'm trying to expand my musical knowledge, skills, and taste, by listening, performing, and delving deep into jazz music. Knowing that you are a well renown jazz artist and fan, I was wondering if you could send me a list of not only the basic / essential jazz artists, bands, and records to get into. But also some of the more obscure and greatest jazz artists, bands and records. That would be strongly appreciated as I am very ambitious and eager to get into jazz music.

Thank you!

Two lessons into your blues series and you are just a different person in these videos! Your feel and love for the blues is unreal and it really shows!

Jaxon Muller · May 13, 2020

What's the over-under on calling yourself "Grandpapa Gates" now that Syn has some sweet little nuggets of his own running around?? I saw McKenna petitioning for it on FB ahah NOT MY IDEA

Csgozzo91 · May 12, 2020

Actually, I just finished the Blues Master Class, it's was very helpful, and I don't have words to say thank you, I am honored to have a high-quality teacher like you and thank you so much for all the knowledge that you share with us here, and the effort that you guys put into the lessons, actually a hard work with an exceptional level!
Much respect and from here a student that appreciates all the time that you invest in every lesson, have a big value!
I'll be sharing my progress with the lessons (if my son let me do it) and hope you like it!
Thank you, thank you, thank you a lot @Brian Haner Sr. !

Csgozzo91 · May 12, 2020

Hello @Brian Haner Sr. ! I hope that you are well and with much health in times of quarantine. That's the only thing that matters. I've been playing since 13 years old, making 15 years since I've started. In 2011 I have stopped playing, mostly because of going to university while working. It consumed all my time and I hadn't time to practice really.
Since I graduated, I've tried to return a lot of times without success, but now I'm here to learn new techniques!
I've already studied a lot of music formally in the past and came here because there is something to learn always.

Dominik Gräber · Mar 27, 2020

Could you tell us what chord this is?? Do you use it a lot??

Jak Angelescu · Mar 6, 2020

Just dropping some love on your head! The students have an Instagram chat and I'm being a blabbermouth and passing on the word that there was like a ten page discussion about how incredible you are and how thankful they were. Especially for how active you are here and how helpful you are.
I don't get in the chat much but when I saw all those wonderful things I had to tell you

Jeffstrife · Feb 17, 2020

I ordered Syns signature guitar, out of the box will it be ready to set for drop d?

Jak Angelescu · Jan 27, 2020

Thank you so much for the help in the blues lesson today! Much love!

Ted Hoffman · Nov 28, 2019

Cool blues master class... The jazz blues and jump blues stuff is all relatively new territory... I was hearing also a rather Latin style turnaround in the vein of " One Note Samba" ...not sure, trying EMaj9 GMaj7 CMaj7 B7b9.... Hmmmm....sorta. That's obviously not in Bb
