How many guitarists does it take to screw in a lightbulb? 1,001. 1 guitarist to actually do it, and 1,000 other guitarists to stand back and explain why they could simply do it better.
Hes so underrated, he sweeps so well and for people who dont play guitar, sweep picking is EXTREMELY difficult, its very unique honestly. Im trying to learn but syns just one of those few who can do it so fucking good like i cant, hes so underrated, hes definitally in my top favorite guitarists. I WISH i could play like him, or have one of his custom guitars cause my i love his sound😂 if anyone that is reading this that can sweep please give me tipsXD im self taught and dont really know all the pentatonics, or arpeggios but im learning
In his masterclass video's he talks about Economy picking. not sure if that is the thing that you mean cus i dont play guitar, but maybe if you look up 'economy picking' you can get some tips.
Lolcatification economy picking comes after sweeping, it's essentially sweeping but repeating each string. you need to have sweeping motion nailed to economy pick well
VORTEX GAMING ive tried, im not a paitent person and i get frustrated with myself easily haha but every now and then ill just pick it back up for alittle bit to practice
@@antoniustok1041 you're an idiot if you think Gates is technically better than Mayer. Mayer plays with the Grateful Dead, covers Jimi and SRV, even Clapton says "he doesn't even know how good he is" Mayer can play more than 1 style, plus he sings as well. Saying Gates is better than Mayer is like saying Yngwie is better technically than Steve Vai. No't happening.
Man, I'm a fan of the band and this is pretty shit honestly. It's just divebombs and some amp effects mixed with some incoherent shredding, which defeats the purpose. He's a great guitar player and has some really unique stuff, but this is nothing. The song bit they played is a jam they played for a while and ended up even turning it into a song for a game, so that's not necessarily an improvised solo either. I've seen way better from him.
Elusive Anomaly I'm very aware of Yngwie, but thanks for the reference. Jason Becker was/is quite awesome too. Too bad what happened to him. Michael Angelo Batio is also insanely good. Marc Diglio from the band XYZ is a great player too...very tasteful chops. I could go on all day.
I figured you knew about Yngwie but you're welcome anyways.I didn't know about Michael Angelo Batio though so thank you much for the return reference.Fascinating.
Man, it's entertaining when a band that is known for its solos has a guitarist who can effortlessly nail everything off their records. Really dug this video.
Synyster Gates is the reason behind me playing guitar... though I suck... He inspires me alot to practice each day ... The way he plays and his skills are off this Univers
honestly I love both slash and syn but I think I'll have to stick with syn because not only are they both my idles but in 2014 I went to my first concert and seen a7x and watching him rip those solos and crap was completely amazing @synester gates
@@nutyeet4016 that's why guns sells out football stadiums?? I doubt you'll ever see Avenged Sevenfold split up, get back together in 23 years and tour world wide. Appetite for Destruction was one of the best selling albums ever
Ueah but where does the criticism come from? Is it that they just hate him as a person, or do they hate that he is better than their ruggid tapping skills?
It shows that Syn is always working his ass off at learning new techniques, ways to play each and every note and from a musician, that man had super mad skills! I could listen to him play for days on end. Amazing what he can do with the right guitar.
That ending, there's no way that wasn't a scrapped song from hail to the king. They should do a cd with all of the scrapped hail to the king songs like they did with diamonds in the rough.
Sounds like a serious teaser near the end, wouldn't be surprised if it was in their next album where they go back to their own style since the last one was pretty much a tribute to their inspirations
That was pretty epic. Last solo/jam I saw was back in January 09 with The Rev. So jealous they didn't do this at Desert Uprising. Thanks for the upload!
lol, so many haters... this guy is fucking amazing at playing guitar and is even one of the fastest guitarists that have ever lived. (haters gonna hate on this comment)
+Dan D i dont make the lists. plus, just because someone is faster, doesnt mean the person youre analyzing is slow ;) like i said, "haters gonna hate this comment", and it really happened
For those who are saying that the last part with full band sounds like Hail to the King. It is stage selection music from their mobile game that they released a few years ago. You're welcome :)
Ok I thought the syn gates custom guitar with red pin stripes where nice but in gold with golden death bate inlays and golden tuning pegs and golden chrome Seymour Duncan invader SH-8 , that my friend is a work of beauti
They make a variety of them. He has black and silver, black and gold, white and gold, green and purple, black and red, and probably more that I can't think of off the top of my head at the moment.
nobody will ever match the style and raw talent of dimebag. He literally changed the face of an entire genre of music. And its interesting that Korn has more grammys than Pantera
Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Frank Zappa, Randy Rhoads....dude, you really should think before talking, love dimebag but hes not the only one and there are way better players out there
is it the bending? the speed? the accuracy? doesnt take a music genius just to know this man is one of best guitarist ever.. prolly not the best but he is in the list.
***** This is the lighting making it yellow, ive seen a picture of a light half shining on it, so there was yellow looking stripes, but half still the white stripes. The custom guitars he has are the usual black with white stripes, black with red, and he has a white with black stripes.
It's black and gold. He still uses his black and white one too. He'll switch between mid show because they're tuned to different keys for different songs.
crazy to think i was at this show. i remember watching this video right after and it blew the fuck up. so wild. first big rock show for me and damn was it a good one
For everyone looking for tabs for the part later in the video.. If you search syn gates live solo cover there is a player who has it tabbed out in the annotations.. you're welcome!
Draken Knight Almost no one says this nowadays. Actually I know alot of people that like metal eventhough they arent your friendly stereotype metalhead with loads of band merch n stuff.
Simsom Guppington you do know my comment was towards the electric guitar right? not a specific brand or type of music, Blues uses the electric, Rock uses the electric hell even country now uses the electric guitar. The instrument used to convey the song like a story, I was just saying lots of stuck up country clubbers think its noise, tell that to BB King I say
THIS BAND IS RIDICULOUS!!! I SWEAR WHEN I SAW THEM WITH THE REV THEY WERE ALL THE PINACLE OF WHAT THEY DO? THE OLD STUFF IS TRULY MUSIC FROM ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL UNIVERSE!!! foREVer!!!
This man is already a legend
Synyster Gates has a particular set of skills. Skills that make man like him a nightmare to people like you.
Love how that was taken from Taken
+GARRETT K (CODrevolution) I mean, damn, there's been three Taken movies. At some point, you just have to assume he's a bad parent....

Syn is a talented guitarist (especially when comparing him to many modern guitarists).
I'd still prefer Mayer
Lol ofc he's one of the best in this generation
@@jeffboy13 different style, but gates technically way better than mayer
@@jeffboy13 I love both to be honest.

Great to see some young guys who know how to throw a solo down. I feared it was a lost art form.
It's never a lost art form! NEVAAAAA

hes like a killion uears old
Now he's not young anymore 🤣
@@harishhannan8764 still one of the younger and greatest guitarists
Just found out about this guy's amazing musicianship. What a talent!!
+TheRetroWoman80 He is very good. Just for kicks...look up Jeff Loomis. Miles of machines is a masterpiece.
I will do that. Thanks so much for the reference. Don't stop the music!!!
You should also check out Yngwie Malmsteen because he's so very talented.
Elusive Anomaly I'm very aware of Yngwie, but thanks for the reference. Jason Becker was/is quite awesome too. Too bad what happened to him. Michael Angelo Batio is also insanely good. Marc Diglio from the band XYZ is a great player too...very tasteful chops. I could go on all day.

That solo at 6:03 needs to get on a future album. Fucking amazing!
i agree with you
Lanx Gapz i mean that was perfect
yeah,
Its gonna be on their video game
I went to their show in The Netherlands, and he played the same theme. It was mindblowing hearing that.
God dang. The way he switches over from normal to wide with his left hand, keeping the same dexterity, is amazing.
Man, it's entertaining when a band that is known for its solos has a guitarist who can effortlessly nail everything off their records. Really dug this video.

I wonder how many people criticizing his playing style even play guitar..
Right on point. Wonder where they bring in the criterias too
I play guitar and im not criticizing i love gates🔥🎸
What playing style? Not spitting and flipping a beard around like zakk?
Ueah but where does the criticism come from? Is it that they just hate him as a person, or do they hate that he is better than their ruggid tapping skills?
I play guitar and Gates is awesome, love his stuff.
It shows that Syn is always working his ass off at learning new techniques, ways to play each and every note and from a musician, that man had super mad skills! I could listen to him play for days on end. Amazing what he can do with the right guitar.
6:05 to 6:25 the best 20 seconds of my life
Song name bro?
@@elieabousamra5823 andronikos theme
I feel sorry for your wife
You must lead a shitty life.
That ending, there's no way that wasn't a scrapped song from hail to the king. They should do a cd with all of the scrapped hail to the king songs like they did with diamonds in the rough.
You were fckn right! Its The Stage 2.0 :D
Its not scrapped from hail to the king, the mobile game they have has this song, this is just the "metal" version of it
Androniko's Theme off the HTTK Deathbat game it's on spotify
I Like this solo,
this is the best synyster gates solo !!
yeah but can he play smoke on the water
no need to embarrass the man
JOKERxRIDDLERxDC it's so fucking easy for him in playing such song.
Madhatter25 STOP xD
Hail to the king live from donington
Lmao only Lil Wayne could do that
They need An A7X Guitar hero and at thee end you face sin in this
Syn #
yes that would be awesome and for the bass and drum career to face Arin and Johnny
Not Arin. It would be better to face Jimmy
David Mardakhayev First Arin and then jimmy :)
Kyle Mcglaun I see why :D
i will watch this for the rest of my life
Absolutly amazing.
Sounds like a serious teaser near the end, wouldn't be surprised if it was in their next album where they go back to their own style since the last one was pretty much a tribute to their inspirations
As much as I want that, I'm pretty sure it was a song off hail to the king that didn't make it onto the album.
guitarb3ast7x Pretty sure about that too ^^
More then likely but I'd like for my theory to be true :3
Who wouldn't? :3
Do you know the name of the last solo?
I don't mean to hate or anything but it kinda sounds like avenged sevenfold
Markus Sæther :|
cant tell if troll or just stupid
Umma Gumma14 Probably both.
...
Sean Wieder yeah youre probably right
So glad to see that they're working these back into the show.
4:51 Hit the lights intro.
i went there for my birthday!
That was pretty epic. Last solo/jam I saw was back in January 09 with The Rev. So jealous they didn't do this at Desert Uprising. Thanks for the upload!
The way they all come out is fuckin magical
Every year his solos just get better and better it's incredible
lol, so many haters...
this guy is fucking amazing at playing guitar and is even one of the fastest guitarists that have ever lived. (haters gonna hate on this comment)
not for me.agree on u Tuxita99.👍
Fastest? Go back and listen to guys like Vinnie Moore, McAlpine, Gilbert, Yngwie, Lane, Lynch, etc.
Dan D I agree with you sir!
+Dan D i dont make the lists. plus, just because someone is faster, doesnt mean the person youre analyzing is slow ;)
like i said, "haters gonna hate this comment", and it really happened
+Tuxita99 Yeah, because it was false.
Lol the A7X drummers are like the Spiderverse.
The Rev - Toby Maguire
Arin - Andrew Garfield
Brooks - Tom Holland
And you miss out Mike portnoy
That's so true tho
@@aviukehie1991 Mike wasn't supposed to be permanent tho but I see what you mean
@Giratina,Mike was the best version of all besides Rev
The Rev is probably rolling over in his grave at the thought of being compared to Toby. 🤮
For those who are saying that the last part with full band sounds like Hail to the King.
It is stage selection music from their mobile game that they released a few years ago. You're welcome :)
This guy is a legend in my opinion.
Oh my god.That was totally amazing!
This dude right here, he's the definition of a rockstar😂
Same solo played in Stockholm, Hovet on November the 8th, it was bloody epic. Been looking for this!
The perfect example of why i love AX7 the most...fking Gates. Just GOD!
Was here, amazing show.
Synyster Gates is the worlds greatest electric guitar player + he has an amazing hair
Hes a great player but not the worlds greatest. Please say you have heard of and explored Malmsteen and Steve Vai.
Tony Stark and Satriani!
***** of course Petrucci but if we could go al lday naming amazing guitarists!
What a great guitar solo I’ve been listening millions of times
I would like to hear him play the national anthem
2018 and im still here for his godlike solo
2022

Just as I purchased the Red and black one they made this one and the purple and gold one. haha damn
They make a variety of them. He has black and silver, black and gold, white and gold, green and purple, black and red, and probably more that I can't think of off the top of my head at the moment.
I have the white and gold one
Fuck you
@@Mrcac35 I have the black and gold \m/
I could watch this every day I want too
He is a guitar legend.
Hail to the king was one of there greatest album they ever made hands down the guitar work sing drums all epic
nobody will ever match the style and raw talent of dimebag. He literally changed the face of an entire genre of music. And its interesting that Korn has more grammys than Pantera
nah
I agree, but Syn has to be the best living player in the world.
Allen Junge
Michael Angelo Batio. Yngwie Malmsteen. Rusty Cooley. Just naming few.
David Davidson.
Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Frank Zappa, Randy Rhoads....dude, you really should think before talking, love dimebag but hes not the only one and there are way better players out there
This solo always the best for me good job mate synyster gates all love for you :)
is it the bending? the speed? the accuracy? doesnt take a music genius just to know this man is one of best guitarist ever.. prolly not the best but he is in the list.
I'm going to see them next month, I hope he plays that solo, they, well him especially my biggest inspirations for writing music.
I like his black and white guitar more, tbh
i think it is his black and white one, but the lighting is probably fucked cause its the arena in cinci

This is the lighting making it yellow, ive seen a picture of a light half shining on it, so there was yellow looking stripes, but half still the white stripes. The custom guitars he has are the usual black with white stripes, black with red, and he has a white with black stripes.

Marker streaks and horned head... Awesome

I didn't know Bruno Mars could play drums ;) :p
haha bruno mars CAN actually!
Hahahah
Synyster Mars
😂
😂😂😂😂😂
I watch this like million of time he’s a great guitarist player
I love what he starts playing at 6:05. Anyone agree?
Strictly Psycho it’s the Andronikos Theme from their video game
I'm very impressed with the synyster gates style guitar playing
great but I am sure he cannot play Lil Waynes solos
Master Kostas no one can lil Wayne is the best guitar player in the world (sarcasm)
Noone except Wayne is that bad
Nah like on a serious note tho, can he play some Chris Broderick?
Because lil Wayne sucks
Yeah it's hard to suck that bad.
Just enjoy it.
he's the man, A7X forever!

In 2022 i miss avenged sevenfold's concert and ari ilejay😢 biggest fans of avenged Sevenfold
The thing they play near the end is Andronikos Theme from the game :D
the second to last part of the solo has soo much of a Groove feeling to it
And bruno mars on the drums!

Source ?
how the hell do you know that?
You mean like how that "Unwind the chainsaw" solo thing was on Hail to The King right?
the solo at the end was a song they scrapped from the album. An "8-bit" version is found in the new Deathbat Game.
Solo una parola: WOW
He is my favorite he is so awesome tbh
Is it just me or does some of the stuff he plays sound like it's from The Stage.
He LOVES playing with the crowd.
urban dictionary darn that guy is so syn gates in bed which means which means really talented lol
