I'm a guitarist and I can 100 percent confirm that this is true

I'm a bassist and I can 100 percent confirm that this is true

I am a Vocalist and I can 100% confirm that this is true

Im a keyboardist and i can 100 percent confirm that this is true

Shall we just become a band? Aha

My friend used to do that when he played drums, soo creepy. lol

+Cameron Fischer Lol i did that when i had stage fright :D it was something beautiful.

+Cameron Fischer Lol, love doing that to people.. It's even better when it looks like you're flipping them off.

+Cameron Fischer I love doing that

lol i do that a lot just because i know they feel like this too

+BeJomon Every musician in the band is guilty of this though XD.

that is exactly what my fucking little brother does we stop playing and i start talking about the song(i play bass) and next minute this cock head starts playing the fucking song while im talking 😐

+BeJomon Guilty. But I was previously in a band that cared more about cigarette breaks and only playing to look cool. So I moved to being a solo artist. :/.

+Josh Kelley Good choice! I would have done the same in that situation.

+Josh Kelley Or found a different band.

Cory Andrews It's even better when it's followed by "Yeah I've been playing, for about 8 years"

***** Why is it always exactly 8 years?

Because they started when they were ten.

+Cory Andrews they started at 5

+Cory Andrews My drummer hasn't a clue what one is either

***** You don't learn songs with one, you practice with one. There is much more to learning the guitar than learning songs.

It's all about technique man. Be tight and develop your own style.

***** That is the dumbest thing I have read all year.

***** Yo man.. chill. Writing gotta come by itself you know. Gotta forget all techniques you learned, and trust your muscle memory. Imagine a sound in your head, and try to reproduce it. Compose in ur mind, even before you touch the guitar. When you get able to connect whats in your mind to the sound you produce, then, you are expressing yourself through the instrument, which is amazing for music. Also, learn how to listen.. if you play with some friends.. listen to them. Dont try to show skills around, and make fancy things you know.. try to fill in the part and reach a beautiful sound. Its easier to compose like that.

being able to play with a metronome is important, its not a matter of opinion or style. every piece is written in a time signature (mostly 4/4) and has a BPM. if the song is in 120 bpm and your hitting outside the beats every few notes, its going to sound like shit, plain and simple. unless your trying to add swing to your playing by hittin the off beats like in jazz. moral of the story, learn how music is structured before attempting to write anything, its going to make you a better musician in the end.

chazzy licks Do i plug it straight into the guitar?

chazzy licks you're

Jake Bowley Give me my sides back

A metro gnome is a small guy that hangs out in the city

That's a nice one))))))))

Good for you dude. You're a credit to audio engineers.

heheh..."just fix it in post" means you shouldn't be in a studio in the first place...I've done it myself doing home recordings...but as its just hobbyist stuff it doesn't matter...

Sure! ...Wait, I gotta practice more first.

haha right?

@Elliot Sharpe There is really no good point to looping. It's about as much use as Autotune. It just gives people who have no business being in the music industry, the means to create a mathematically perfect song. If you can't play the song on demand, why are you trying to record it?! Save yourself a lot of time and money and practice first

said 90% of British guitar players these days.

Lmao I learned wonderwall for the sole purpose of impressing chicks, not gonna lie

+A Pokemon runescape that's the reason why people learn to play it

A Pokemon runescape did it work?

That one cracked me up

+Frank Ravin Different but both great.

Why not Joe Satriani?

+Royale With Cheese Same

have you heard of Steve Howe?

Omfg

That's the tippy tappy thing, right?

Yes

+Logan Bills I know, I was just kidding

lars...

You need 2: 1 is changing it and the other is playing the solo

Music is win

+Bass Lightyeah This is something I can relate to on a spiritual level.

GamesOffNermal MetalBassist They're just creative in a different way. I get my best ideas while playing alone, they hear something and give their own interpretation simultaneously.

+Bass Lightyeah bass is just as important as guitar

GamesOffNermal MetalBassist True.

in fact its even more important because it underlines the guitar riffs while locking in with the drums 2 important things at once

"Just loop it, I'll get it eventually"

Castlemaster712 GOD DAMMIT

That high

You again XD. You're definitely right! I love my Floyd Rose (we have the same guitar, I once commented it on one of your videos, it's an Ibanez GRG 250DX.) BUT the big problem is tuning the guitar... it's SO annoying. But you can do cool things with it and if it IS in tone, it STAYS very long. I think you can agree with me... but if I ever buy another guitar, I'd buy one without a floyd rose tremolo, so I play songs that are written in Drop C or whatever actually in Drop C XD.

+Me Li tuning floyd isn't hard and also not that easy in some point.once you get the hang of it,it's not a problem anymore

+Me Li Personally, I love my FR Bridges; But I never liked the ones Ibanez puts on their guitars, I usually change them for a an OFR, Schaller licensed one or a Gotoh FR (mostly depending on the price class of the guitar) as long as it is the classic high-profile kind. A quality one is setup fast and the same goes for tuning it, but you are out of luck if you want to ever change the tuning. The only thing you can do is use something like an EVH D-Tuna but it requires to lock the FR in one direction.

+Me Li do you rest your hand on the bridge

James Steele What do you exactly mean by that? I mean... if I'm palm muting, my hand is on the strings and If I play "normal" chords or stuff like that, then my hand does Not touch the strings. So I would say no? But as I said, I don't know what you mean....

I do that aswell 😂😂

Same tho but its been a while since I've played with my band so they dont make fun of me for making noises

Frank Da Tank I started just angrily playing the chord multiple times instead of trying to pick it right

Agreed, but still love them! :D

I don't get it 😁

Daniel Scarlett you wont

See? Those are your tears, man. No one can play the ultimate sacred guitar riff. Not even Steve Vai, or Eric Clapton.

No that’s too hard

I hear that when you play smoke on the water it is so hard that you body turns in to flames and you blow up in to a million pieces.

0-3-5 0-3-6-5 0-3-5 3-0

***** It CAN Djent!

***** Hey - A true Dgentleman wouldn't divulge that in public!

+RS TROUT wth is djent? :v

+Jared Dines Avenged Sevenfold shreds - hope that was meant serious, i love them^^

+Die Gaming Buletten I know it's considered heresy among a lot of people, but I love A7X (sue me)

Trevor Stockton yep

Yeah, but ATTILA SUCKS

Pun intended?

+Mercer Go home, Dad.

+Christopher Abeja except drummings, we never forget our tuners ;)

+Christopher Abeja i never forget my tuner...typical guitarist making excuses. thats like a surgeon forgetting his scalpel....

+Christopher Abeja I just have one permanently velcroed to my pedal board so I have one at any gig or recording session I play at.

Matthew Smith but he's damn right about Attila

@@davidgarcia6796 I like Attila

Yes, but since they're pretty big, they are obviously going to get a bunch hate. Anyways, listen to whatever you like, fuck what other people say. :)

jr4chargers Exactly! Quote by M. Shadows, the lead singer for A7x: "Be yourself and like what you like. Fuck everyone else."

jr4chargers But no JB right?

elitebelt JB?

jr4chargers Justin Bieber

EDGE

Dude its a joke. Like you sweep with brooms and women stereo-typically sweep the floors.

Haha get it?! Because they both sweep the floors in a house?!!! HAHAH!!! Seriously though, good joke

WTF?? Not funny

Ibanez tremelo systems are infinitely better.

Why should i hate it? Allright, first it took about an hour to change strings, but now it's not a hard thing. And it's just simply can't get out of tune.

Dániel Horváth tbh floyd rose licensed bridges are pretty lame. if you do any whammying they go slightly but noticeably out of tune. I have one on a well loved schecter unfortunately :(

Vred then don't do whammy, it's pretty lame trick after all

Depends how you whammy. a tiny bit of flattening the notes with neat delay/chorus/tremelo pedals can spice up a lot of stuff. Kinda like tapping and sweeping; good in moderation. But regardless, having a system that says you can whammy and stay in tune and not being able to stay in tune is fucking lame. And to say just don't do it at all because the system is that bad is pretty dumb.

Yeah it does

and you swallow

Hank Hill Yep. That shit lingers for hours. Get the Listerine XD

That grammar thou. And yeah, go listen to metallica for the rest of your life, because they don't do 0-0-0-0, right?... So interesting riffs...

DxArmyMember001 implying that people hate Attila just because they can't play guitar

+Zwyni Savageau I AGREE WITH THIS MAN!

Not only that but Syn studied Jazz in college! He's not just a shredder with no soul. R.I.P. The REV :'(

Syn Gates went to a music school, basically

+Kanshi Talon He went to Musician's Institute for I think two years before joining the band. Plus his dad is a pretty prolific guitarist and he's learnt a lot of blues, jazz and country style from him growing up. I know a lot of really good guitarists including the guys from CHON, Polyphia, Aaron Marshall from Intervals, Tosin, Plini, Owane, Petrucci and while Syn's style differs from them, he's arguably the best in his genre. Progressive and djent and what people are now calling djazz is very different from heavy metal scene musically but Syn really is a versatile, humble and open minded guitarist. He's even gotten into the big band, gypsy jazz style of playing which is very eyebrow raising for someone in his genre

AGREED. I got so excited when he said that

Yw ty u 2

Pair of double ds am i r?

Why you mad? I thought the Whitechapel shirt went pretty well with the pretentious bullshit he was spewing :)

baa

Thrash metal is terrible so is slayer

+Jared Dines Just saw them play last month too :D.

5150 ain't Van Halen

+AllOutWar5000and1 it's a song buy them and the name of his amp

+AllOutWar5000and1 Eddie designed the 5150 amps, so yeah.

its just a prank

Definitely not a hate comment, I like the video. More like capitalizing on the talk of crunchy guitars and breakdowns.

It starts with "Here, check out this song on my demo..."

+Jim Gannon D-do you want a cookie or something?

loquayrocks Who tuned this? Was it me? I think it was me.

Chuck Berry is infamous for not being able to tune his guitar. He's still one of the most influential guitar players of all time.

nicsterr very much

A7x was great.

TheJwwinter just like your mother

They still are great

benserv02 passage to Bangkok is the best song they made ever😁😁😁😁

never have to tune it but when you want to change your strings tuning, it becomes a nightmare

simpletown323 I still have no problem when I change my strings

i meant when you want to go from standard e tuning to dropped d or something. all the strings go out of tune

Some people don't change their tuning every song. If you do, then you don't need a Floyd. Or for drop D you can get a D-tuna. For drop C, you need to change the strings gauges anyway.

I agree! Synyster gates is my Idol!

I would love to see his reaction to a 12 string

Eric Durant I thought I was going to be innocent of all these too. I failed at "If I could practice 8 hours a day I'd be a lot better" - because I have to be honest. I've actually said those exact words. SMH at myself. :D I also say "Dammit" a lot when I am learning a new song and I f/k it up.

Me too!

Me too!

Same

Bassistking Don't feel bad,I have too ;)

me 2 man lets get past this together its embarassing

nead mich yeah i feel kinda bad bro lol

+StuntMuffin01 Pinching is easy xD I somehow learned it by accident, by myself and without guides/videos etc. I don't know why some ppl find it hard.

Minato Arisato Im just an idiot, believe me. I can do it but it doesn't sound great, its passable but certainly not zach wilde

StuntMuffin01 You mean Zakk Wylde? And yeah, my pinching is not at the Dimebag level or anything but I think it sounds good.

Minato Arisato Yeah, not a huge fan of his style (thats why I don't know how to spell the mans name)

Maybe because he doesn't like steve vai?
