I remember my Dad telling me about this when they started letting people sign up when the program was still being worked on, as he is a MUCH bigger fan of A7X then I am and pays more attention to news concerning them then I do. Anyways, I signed up for free on the website yesterday, and I was completely blown away that instruction like this is available for free. The lessons include a big sheet music page that has both traditional notation AND tab versions of the lesson, which are accompanied by a video feed of guitair GOD Brian Haner Sr. (aka Papa Gates) who is Synester Gates' father and supierior in exceptional guitar playing, sitting down in a very Carl Brown-esque (GuitarLessons365 on Youtube) set presenting the lesson to the student, going into great detail about the logistics behind every scale, chord, and picking technique that are available from the three different levels of difficulty, with each level containing 36 different lessons adding up to 114 in total, all for free. Next thing I know, I'm practicing the Major and C Major Scales and having fun doing it, all with the first 9 lessons.
But the school isn't just for beginners, there lies a fourth section called "Syn's Etudes", which are a series of challenging exercises from the man himself, covering Alternate Picking, Economy Picking, Legato, Sweep Picking, and Tapping, each with 10 levels of difficulty adding up to 50 exercises in total, that any player, no matter how skilled, could benefit from. All for free.
So what I'm asking you guys on Equipboard to do is to check out this awesome program and get better from it, whether you're a beginner like me, or a seasoned shred master. We all have something to gain from this.
