@@cookieprev5176 not true that's being cocky.. Look at Jacky Vincent he's the best guitarist there is in the metal scene and the most humble guitarist..
He isnt over rated, his skill and uniqueness speaks for itself. Avenged sevenfold is amazing in general, live they sound identical to the album. They are all great musicians are they not? Not just anybody gets famous.
Avenged Sevenfold was always my favorite band since i was 7 years old, And to think about it in my mind i cant belive its been like that since 7 years old!
I dont play guitar.. Nor do I want to...but damn this man knows what he is doing.....if speed alone would define you as a guitarist then batio would be unrouchable...I think its about how easily you play the guiyarwand create tunes that truly suit the emotion of the song...its musicianship... So yeah aside from van Halen(the beat it solo) I think this guy is pretty high up
Liebe Freunde der Nacht, also musikalisch gesehen ist dieses "Solo" sicherlich eher drittklassig und ich bin froh, daß das einige seiner Fans hier genauso sehen und objektiv sind. Das sagt natürlich nichts über Bühnenpräsenz und Stimmung aus - ganz klar. Aber Vergleiche mit den "ganz Großen" (ich nenne hier jetzt bewußt keine Namen, so heißt es gleich "hey und was ist mit XYZ, usw.") sind sicherlich fehlangebracht.
I've been playing guitar for about four years at this point and I've been trying to sweep since I first started playing solos and I still can't do it. For me it's not that easy, and that's why I find this particular Gates solo rather difficult.
***** Nope. Not true. If a song is one note dragged for 1 minute I can learn it one second. If you're a really good guitarist, you COULD probably learn this in around 2 minutes. But you'd have to be Steve Vai good.
2:25 that part is some of the fastest and cleanest playing ever. The whole solo is amazing though. Syn is not just a "typical metalcore emo wannabe" he is a genuine metal guitar player. Many people don't know this but Rex Brown of Pantera attended one of their shows and said to them "Your waving the flag now" and Metallica: "We are proud to call Avenged Sevenfold great friends of Metallica" right before Lars fucking Ulrich introduced them at Orion. FUCK the whiners. A7X is quality metal.
That is actually my favorite thing on whole youtube to happen. -_- It's a very common phenomenon, and I just love when people talk shit about other people without knowing the person.
i cant agree on that, as there are guitarist like- Miles dimitri baker and lucas man from rings of saturn. i dont wanna list 100 different guitarists. but those 2 alone would rip synester to shreds.
Louis Porter I love Rings and Lucas Mann, but tbh the style they play and image they will never be commercially successful and as a result of that, will never have the reach Synyster Gates has. Synyster def inspired so many kids to pickup the guitar and start playing. Clearly on average more kids want to learn Avenged licks, and most likely will never hear about Yngview or Vai until they get deeper into guitar. He is def a modern day guitar hero which our generation and the next desperately need considering the steep decline rock and metal music have in the mainstream.
Now I understand why "real" metalheads talk shit about A7X on metal forums when people say that they're the best metal band... I'd never listened to them before (I don't really like metalcore)... That's the 8th Synyster's live guitar solo I've watched and I've also listened to many of A7X songs today (Afterlife, the beast and the harlot, etc)... He's a good guitarist, I can't deny it, and A7X is an ok band, but Syn is definitely not the best... There are many guitarists better than him (Paul Gilbert, Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, etc)... Sorry but the guy is as overrated as the band!
Though I disagree that they are overrated, I can see where you come from saying others are better. This solo is cool, but not NEARLY as good as some of his other playing like the Afterlife solo. The Eddy Van Halen solo is absolutely fantastic and completely blows this one out of the water and Paul Gilbert is awsome too.
No, he's the best guitar player of this generation. Nobody can touch him. His talent is so raw and pure, and nobody can play the way he does, in the entire world.
devin lowden The best of this generation? LOL I can't say that he sucks... that would be stupid! He is a pretty good guitarist and he got his own playing style BUT saying nobody can touch him shows little you know about guitar playing! You clearly never listen to Alexi Laiho (Children of Bodom), Jeff Loomis (Nevermore) or Chris Broderick (Megadeth).... and that was just to talk about few guitar players of the same age bracket as him! I don't even want to talk about Dave Mustaine, John Petrucci and the others badass guitarists better than him! This is my opinion though... If he is the best for you, fine! You got your opinions and I got mine!
Itachi951000 yo he escuchado a petrucci , alexi , dave mustaine y a broderick pero synyster gates es el mejor Es talento puro , es un genio los anteriores desarrollaron la técnica y la velocidad con los años pero syn nació con un don y por eso hace los mejores solos del mundo syn es insuperable y es el mejor de esta generación
This solo grew on me. At first I considered it a compilation of random melodies, kind of progressive melodic metal, like protest the hero. But he certainly mashes up a great set of riffs.
I was today years old when I learned he played this solo in honor of Dimebag. I’m assuming at least because this has a lot of Dime’s solos in it. Been watching this for over a decade too, pretty sure this is the original video I used to watch over and over. In fact I learned the intro on guitar (very easy) then it got to the solo and I was too overwhelmed.
honestly if you want something pretty close, get Invader Pickups and if you want to sound almost spot on, do invader pickups with a sustaniac sustainer. My current setup is Black and White Schecter Syn Custom w/ Invader pickups and a sustaniac sustainer, 24 jumbo fret. I use both a Line 6 DT25 (Bogner tubes). And i am going to be ordering Syn's Hellwin Amp very soon. Hope this helps
EVERYTIME I come back to this video, all I imagine and is Syn and the Rev being driven down a street playing this, and every single rock n roll lover, every metalhead of the country parading after them...
@nightmareX1993 okay, what do you mean by "fight"? I just meant that it is a beautiful solo as no one but Herman Li can make! Synyster is a great guitar player, but he is not at all so popular as, EVH, Hendrix, Rhoads... And thats because he has no feeling in his guitar solos! In this solo he just plays a riff and a fast solo, but there is no feeling!
I was a keyboard player for about 3 years, a drummer for about 4 years and currently I'm a guitarist (I've played a bit over 4 years now), even though I'm not even 18 years old yet. Music is the most important thing in my life. I can easily spend 8 hours straight doing nothing else but listen to music and eat. I recognize a good solo, and this isn't one. Gary Moore - Empty Rooms live 1987 Stockholm, if you want to hear a good solo.
So for all who hate on him, or say he has no skills. Let me ask you a great question; did anyone of you got asked to play in Germany in front of thousands upon thousands of peoples? Didn't think so, so stfu. He is talented and creative. I respect syn and A7X.
I’ve heard this solo a few times like the beginning and is it actually one of their songs like from an old album or is it just one of his personal things to play
a solo is meant to entertain, and that's just what he did. he had the crowd going, with the help of the late jimmy sullivan. he can hammer out riffs and thats what counts on an album
If people don't think he is anything special then so be it. To some kids eyes he is an idol to look up to and that is good enough for me. Don't compare guitarist, they have their skills, techniques and styles of their own. Try comparing the legends side by side they all have different styles of playing so if you can't play any better don't compare. Peace.
What Im saying is that you dont need to know EVERYTHING about music, composing, specs of instruments and so on, to be a good musician. As long as you make noise that sound good, youve won my vote
Look, Mr. Gates here isn't my favorite guitarist...but I'm not going to sit here and talk bad about him and stuff. The truth is, he and I are a lot a like. Why? Because he loves the guitar, and I love the guitar, he loves rock 'n roll, and I love rock 'n roll, his type of rock came from the blues (it all did), and I play the blues, but most of all--he and I BOTH love this thing, that we all are in this for, called MUSIC. True musicians don't put each other down. Rock on, buddy!
They explained this once, he isn't palying to show his skill, he knows he can play well, this is to put on a show for the fans, and they seem to be liking it.
I think I have the same amp as you (line six spider IV 30, right?) Anyway, I found that this works pretty well: RED Metal Full drive Bass: high( about 3/4 of the way) Mid: In the middle Treble: about 3/4 of the way Delay on A bit of reverb (turn the nob just a little) Hope this satisfy's you! ^^
To all the people bitching about how he plays, I hate to have the typical fan boy line, but honestly, I would like to see all of you compose and play the things he does
Look up condemned By AS I LAY DYING live at Heavy HTL 2011 I would post the link on this replay but youtube won't let me. The solo is 2 min and 25 secs in.

Now it's fuckin 17 years. Crazy
He was good at this point, but he really got better through the years

Been listening to A7X since I was 15 around 2007. It's so weird thinking they're younger in this video than I am now 0~0
This solo is okay, he's became better now. I tried to listen to his old solo and this one doesn't disappointed. He's the best \m/.
That was immense
Love the sound of the pick hitting the strings
3:19 to 3:37 is really fast.
He isnt over rated, his skill and uniqueness speaks for itself. Avenged sevenfold is amazing in general, live they sound identical to the album. They are all great musicians are they not? Not just anybody gets famous.
He always knows how to make his guitar cry so beautifully

Its great I agree, but look at some randy Rhodes solos
I also want to be applauded for improvising on guitar :(
*applauds*

Cadê os brasileiros fãs do synyster gates???
i think gates looks cooler with the long hair and the hat than what he looks like now.
+CDR Simmons yeah the 2007-2010 era, I agree. I love the way he looks in the afterlife and almost easy music videos.
Nah
Agree. I don't like his current style

I might as well give up I'm never gonna play guitar this good fuck! xD
If you learn a few scales and play them fast enough, you'll be able to play this well in under two weeks.

Thanks a lot, mate.
(last sentence was sarcastic, obviously)
Anyone know what amps were being used for this ? Sounds like Marshall imo

Excellent quality video and sound. Thank you. I need two cigarettes now because I feel like I had multiple eargasm s.
@cjms1997 I agree. But you gotta think, he wrote this solo for a concert, not a guitar clinic. It's meant to be catchy and flashy, not technical.
