    "What's a metronome."

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

    Guitar Player : "starts playing something"
    Band : STOP!
    Guitar Player : Okay, okay....

    As an audio engineer, i hear a lot of people say things like "just fix it in post" or "Just loop it"
    If you say that in studio, EVER, i will throw a 57 at you (They never break, its quite aerodynamically efficient too). Did that to the lead guitarist in a metal band I recorded the other week. Your job is to play the music right, our job is to capture it.
    That said, anyone want anything mixed?

      @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

      ***** 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.

    • @enigmam5357
      @enigmam5357 10 лет назад +16

      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.

    • @mellyslife5950
      @mellyslife5950 9 лет назад +3

      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.

    • @behemothokun
      @behemothokun 9 лет назад

      +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.

      @Andres9632 10 лет назад +17

      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.

    the reason why lots of people hate floyd rose bridges and tremolos is because their a pain in the ass to set up and because theres alot more possible tuning and string breaking problems but once you have them set up their just awesome!! There really good for fast metal and melodic players plus you can always block the tremolo springs in the back so that its more like a les paul and when you pull a string the tremolo always stays leveled so that the other strings dont tune out.

    About 4 years ago, a buddy of mine (he was apprenticing with an audio engineer) had me in the studio recording so he could learn metal. I accidentally ended up writing a song in a 3/4 without realizing it. With the metronome playing i just couldn't get it on a whim the engineer said to try recording without the click. I did and nailed. He said in 33 years that was the first time he saw someone play better legitimately without a metronome.

      +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

      Some people don't change their tuning every song.

      For drop C, you need to change the strings gauges anyway.

    Hey, an amateur guitarist here. And I have a question.
    3:07, that sway he adds to the tone. Does that require a pedal/plug or what ever, because I have tired to do that so many times, but it just won't work.
    (Basically just bought a guitar and started out playing along to song I like via Songsterr.com, that is the level I am on)

    • @de-rrett7937

      What youre thnkking of is a pinch harmonic. Trust me look up videos on how to do it, and keep practicing. When I first started to try and do them, it sucked. Practice really does make perfect my friend. Don't give up!

    • @Morgoth714
      @Morgoth714 10 лет назад

      He's playing a natural harmonic at the third fret (it's hard to produce without lots of treble/gain) and using excessive vibrato on it.

    • @PyroMonster94
      @PyroMonster94 10 лет назад

      Morgoth714 natural harmonic is a different thing, its when u just touch the top of the string very gently and then pluck the string. And u cant play it everywhere.
      What he did on the video is pinch harmonic.

    • @Morgoth714
      @Morgoth714 10 лет назад

      PyroMonster94 It could be either, but since he did it at the 3rd fret it was most likely a natural harmonic.

    • @PyroMonster94
      @PyroMonster94 10 лет назад +3

      Morgoth714 lol u dont know what are u talking about. It cant be a natural harmonic since you can clearly see he is bending the string and natural harmonic sounds totally different anyway. Btw unlike natural harmonics, pinch harmonics u can play basically anywhere.
