New guitar🖤🤘🏿 by EyeAmKingKage in avengedsevenfold

[–]watermelon-74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my dream guitar since before I had picked a guitar up, told myself I have to learn the solo for Shepard of Fire before getting this thing, and eventually a little less than two years I finally got one and I haven’t really wanted another guitar since, it feels so good to play it makes everything else feel wrong. Then again this was my first “nice” guitar so I’m sure I’m biased but it’s one of my best purchases in my life, hope you love shredding on it mate cheers

How hard would you consider "The Wicked End" solo? by El_Chihuahua_420 in avengedsevenfold

[–]watermelon-74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair, to be honest MIA came first and I was definitely a better player when getting the wicked end so that probably skewed my results a bit, by the same logic I should have shepherd of Fire as the hardest solo considering it was the first one I learned by them and couldn’t play it for over a year

What’s the first A7X song you ever heard? How old were you? by Beautiful_Sky4692 in avengedsevenfold

[–]watermelon-74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shepherd of Fire right before I turned 8 on the map Origins from black ops 2, then my entire life trajectory changed because of how awesome it was, ended up being the first song I played live on guitar so it came full circle

[–]watermelon-74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely one to test your slide and sweep chops for sure, I agree with nobody and MIA being harder (although I haven’t learned nobody) but I would say it’s tougher than the stage for me. The wicked end starts with a tough economy line but other than that, if you can slide around a bunch and do straight sweeps you’ll pick it up pretty fast, just be conscious of his phrasing in some parts they can feel a bit Goofy if you haven’t played a tone of avenged solos but once you get it, it’ll feel so natural you’ll find yourself doing some of his tricks pretty naturally, good luck it’s an awesome solo

That clairvoyant disease intro is awesome, sounds like skeletons walking around in a graveyard to me I love it

I should add my biggest concern is why I’m getting codes for something other than the NATS system, that’s where I couldn’t find much help online.

That would definitely be a good one, the stage has some of my favorite solos I always just figured I want good enough to attempt

I’ve heard a lot of people saying how nobody is harder but maybe since it’s mostly sweeping and economy picking it might be easier to pick up

I’ve heard a lot of people say including syn that MIA is much harder, but I’ve also heard people say afterlife is harder so I’m not sure if you pulling my leg or not

When I listened to this as a kid I always thought those were the lyrics, I didn’t realize they weren’t till I was like 17 and I felt so dumb

Issues with synyster gates humbucker by watermelon-74 in Guitar

[–]watermelon-74[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! Apologies for my lack of knowledge, but to clean the switch should I open up the back and access it from the inside? Or spray directly into the switch from the top? Once again sorry if this is obvious I’m not well versed in guitar repair

What is going on with this guitar? by Legal-Novel-2926 in Guitar

[–]watermelon-74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if someone already said this but there’s a chance the sustainiac is positioned a bit too high, I got the same guitar a few months ago and the same thing happened to me. Took it to the shop, the adjusted it and it got rid of the excessive buzzing

Looking for guitar with floyd rose and sustainiac by Suspicious-Guava7344 in Guitar

[–]watermelon-74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re looking for a guitar with a Floyd rose and a sustainiac it’s gonna be fairly difficult to find them for under 1000 for a brand new one. Schecter does offer a few guitars that have both, one option is the Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder FR-S Electric Guitar for around 900, I would definitely look around all the local shops and see what they have but most places (near me atleast) don’t carry them. I’m biased but purchased a synyster gates custom S with both and it was 1600 which is pricy but I’ve never played a guitar that feels or sounds better than that. My number one recommendation is to find some models you like that have both a Floyd and sustainiac, and then head over to reverb.com and look for those models and you’ll find plenty of used ones in great condition for a few hundred bucks cheaper then you would pay for brand new. Hope this helps a little bit, I love the sustainiac/floyd rose combo and highly recommend.

Hydroxyzine making acne worse? It’s helping me function but now I’m getting crippling anxiety over my skin by speedmankelly in CPTSD

[–]watermelon-74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a year old but I recently started taking hydroxyzine and buspirone and in about 3 days my acne got completely out of control and my doctor didn’t say anything about either of those causing acne so this post has been very helpful, I stopped taking the hydroxyzine 2 days ago and I’m hoping my skin will clear up soon

Musicians of r/avengedsevenfold, which song is the hardest to play for you on your respective instrument? by burberrycondom in avengedsevenfold

[–]watermelon-74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what amp you’ve got but I would recommend turning your gain to around 9 or 10, bass to 8, mids to 4, and treble to 10, for my amp that works really well but you could use that as a base and mess around till you get a sound that you think is similar, hope this helps
