Synyster gates master class solo

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ต.ค. 2024
- This is an original solo piece Synyster Gates created just for the masterclass. Not only does the solo sound realllllllly cool, but its simply amazing. I don't think a lot of people realize just how talented he is at guitar. It was an incredible experience and such an honor to be in his masterclass. Not only is he my favorite guitarist but i believe he is one of the best guitarists of all time. He had two syn customs with the REV inlays onstage but only played one. He said they were the ones from the "so far away" video. Please enjoy.

I would buy a solo album from Synyster Gates
I would too
as would i
him and his dad..would be awesome.
666% agree
this would be the most selled album i think Theo du Toit
Avenged Sevenfold is one of those bands that gets a lot of hate, but in reality is one of the truest, most amazing metal bands out there. People's main complaint is they're not "metal" enough. Syn's one of the best metal guitarists out there.
So true. Being metal or not, the fact is that every single musician in the band is extremely talented, even the singer. That is very rare.
Who says they're not metal?
@@MegaMonte72 so many people, but mostly elitists.
@@bradya456 elitists' opinion don't mean sh*t.
Metal aren't just trash, metlcore, deathcore etc peoples want to hear. But heavy metal, melodic metal, or prog metal also a metal.
Their latest album is considered as prog metal, but their second album was metalcore.
And, Was their first album didn't metal enough for metal heads? It's confused me.
Even their ballads are metal enough for me.
“He who does a pinch harmonic without picking gets rid of the pain of being a man”
You just need to tap on a natural harmonic. In theory it is not that hard, but being able to play it consistant is a different story
you guys are gonna love jon gomm
@@memonik6886 yeah especially if you wanna do it fast.
Bat Country but this is way more batter.
He who installs a sustainiac booster gets rid of the pain of needing to retain old skills.
i want a fucking studio version of this with m shadow singing shit
It could very well be. lol
TheIUrZz i like it the way it is
y me too haha :d
Nah rather not this is so authenic to my ears
TheIUrZz my shadows "singing shit" sums up a7x
This should've been in The Stage. I don't mind if it's just an instrumental, it'll be perfect.
true, the tone actually matches with the album sound, plus, this solo is so damn good!
It could've been a bonus song.
Francis Tuazon what tittle this song??
Francis Tuazon This has more of the style and groove that they used in HttK.
True
In tapping parts, it looks like he uses no force to tap a string but the sound is so powerful, how he do that, he's a genius!
Definitely he is an amazin guitarist, but that facility for the tapping is most part by the guitar he uses. Guitar with jumbo frets help a lot in tappings
@@JoaoOliveira-qb6vm you're absolutely wrong. It's mostly hand strength. With strong hands you can perform complex tapping even on an acoustic guitar
@@javierschiefelbein4084 In parts, i have a really cheap guitar with shitty frets. When I played on the guitar of my friend, with jumbo frets, the tapping and two-hands became rly easy
@@JoaoOliveira-qb6vm jumbo frets probably help, his action is probably set really low too so it takes less force to fret the strings
@@javierschiefelbein4084 bullshit, the pickup he has is an invader which is extremely high output you can breathe on those strings and get a sound i have a pair installed on my omen and it takes very little effort to get a solid sound out of them. hand strength DOES greatly help with getting solid notes however that pickup also GREATLY helps. Try tapping that shit on a low output pickup you wont get that same solid sound.
I see he changed his picking technique. He has improved dramatically imo and he is SUPER CLEAN in his playing now. Respect!
Do you know what the tapping technique he uses is called
chameleonkendamas reverend the two hand tapping part is Atonal tapping or Computer Tapping
Economy picking!!!
I consider him to be one of the best guitarist to ever live
Com certeza
É o meu favorito e inspiração
syn is a genius, explain to me how he manages to get a different sound every solo he plays, it seems that thousands of guitar chords on his fingers and even magic is genius
What people don't realize is that guitar solos are slowly dying out. The world of metalcore and chugging away at the 6th string are taking over (i still enjoy them as well though). Haters can bitch and complain about synyster. I know he's not the best, not the cleanest, etc, but he has a unique and definitive sound to him and is a pretty diverse guitarist if one has listened to all his work. He does way more than chug on the 6th string, and nowadays, that's becoming more and more rare. That is why I respect and enjoy listening to him.
i think in terms of shredding syn one of the most cleanest guitarrist (sorry my english)
andrew ehalt I think Syn is among the best in his own way. In the world of shredding, I think he is maybe top 5? In general, I’d say top 15? I think if he did more slow, emotional playing, then I’d say top 10, but he shreds for the most part with the occasional slow song.
Is he influenced by Marty Friedman or Jason Becker, I just get a sound which is similar to them.
When i have my band I'll put Solo's where they truly belong...
Lead guitarists are becoming more and more rare is why..
This man here, this man is the Greatest Guitarist of this Era. couldn't change my mind if you attempted.
I agree he's amazing
Meh. I'm an Angel Vivaldi fan.
Check out allan holdsworth
LMAOOOOOOOOO
Joe bonamassa
He's tapping with all his fingers...
+derMemory thats how yogurt the ladies
He uses his pinky barred over all the notes to mute any unwanted noise, same principle as a cloth tied over them except it doesnt look so obvious
he's 2 good
***** Bowen In what technique is he using in order to create the pinch harmonic while tapping though? Is it essentially and pull off and then string mute with the tap finger?
8 finger taps:o
New A7X song?
Syn is currently one of most underrated guitarrists, honestly.
I wouldn't think its a new song
Or a New band Jam session, is Awesome.
Pene Flacido Totally agree and nice pic XD
Zander Kimlinger
b-sides perhaps? This resembles alot to what HTTK sounded
Dick in a suit....seems legit
Not a huge Avenged Sevenfold fan, but that was fucking nasty. Dude can play like a beast. Mad style too.
Does anyone else think this should be a track on A7Xs next album? I just really wanna hear this in studio quality.
Look up their channel, they posted a teaser and it was promising.
It's a possibility
+Shiny Kingdra i have you on my pokemon y box:o xDD
new albums here and its sick
Check the solo on Paradigm
This guy is one of the people who pushed me to learn guitar without even knowing, just the energy of him playing ALONE. He definitely deserves all the recognition. He's irreplaceable, unique, different, however you wanna say it. Thank you for teaching me how wonderful the guitar really is. ☺️
Anyone notice he's playing the REV custom!?
Oh dang he is!
I realized it when you pointed it out! That must be the one from the So Far Away music video.
He's good... But can he play Smoke on the Water?
a 3 years old can
+A7X ADDICT It's a guitar player joke, and you clearly don't play guitar to understand this and made a quick snarky remark. Please learn funny jokes because I laughed my ass off to this comment.
+Kobe Gamble I'm glad you enjoyed it.:-)
i laughed for so long at that comment
I think that my be to advanced for him...
I hope there will be a studio version of this soon. Sounds really good!
he truly is alot more talented than people give him credit for :P
I hope they make songs with these solos !
this MUST be a song for the next album!
It sounds more like video game music. It'll probably be in the new game that they're releasing. They said they were implementing original songs in the game so it makes sense. It also sounds medieval which is kind of how the video game is looking.
I’m from the future. I’m hear to tell
You that it will not be in their album but instead released a much shittier sounding album and I no longer am their biggest fan and you won’t be either.
How the fuck does he do a pinch harmonic while tapping?????
Because he is not human. He is Synyster Gates.
+Myth0l0gical exactly XD
+Zack Fraser its not a pinch harmonic he's playing 4 on the g and doing a natural harmonic on 13 of the g
He is a descendant of the guitar gods
+Zack Fraser It was mostly an accident probably, because sometimes I lean my arm against the string on accident while tapping and it lets off a loud pinch harmonic, but it was probably a tap/natural harmonic.
his hands magically dance on his fret board and its awesome!!!
such talent much underrated..btw this song reminds me of the songs from the album waking the fallen! AMAZING!
THIS reminds you of Waking The Fallen?!
Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen it does somehow.
*Overrated
Synyster Gates is one of the most overrated guitarists of this generation.
Oh god, here we go... another elitist who has no clue what he's doing here.
Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen
Actually I do, he is good, but he is way overrated.
He is not even close to be on the top 10 best guitarists of this generation.
He makes the guitar sound so beautiful! he's so crisp and clean. I love how he doesn't strum chords all of the time like most guitarists do. Love his sound and his style. I could listen to a whole cd of just him!
hope this becomes a full length song :3
Wow, what a great piece of music! This is why he's still my favorite guitar player, been a fan since '05. Damn, I wish this was a bonus track on Hail to the King. He should release a solo album, that would be amazing! ...anyone else agree on that! Even the a7x haters might dig that stuff. Thanks for uploading this.
I've heard they're going to relese new DVD with some b-sides with it, like it was with LBC and Diamonds, so there is a hope :D
dat vertical cell phone tho
I can do that no problem. Just give me ten years
JSaddleback give me a couple beers and I'm golden
Hold my beer i got this
JSaddleback just let me record it note for note and cut it together I can do that easily
JSaddleback takes even longer than that;)
I request 30
Syn should make a solo album.
I totally agree, man..
Well, it would be nice too. Sorry, I didn't understand what you wanted to say
This is the Syn I love. Unique, technical, creative, venomous, emotional. Like he was on City of Evil. He really sets himself apart. Solid performance here.
Can the guy who said he's gonna actually cover this do so already because I want to see this so bad ahah
Id enjoy that as well
daily dose of politics check out martins channel he just covered it
Martin Ronning
This is sounds so much like boss battle music. Its awesome!
People only judge Syn based on what he plays on A7X songs. THAT is so narrow-minded of them. Videos such as these shows what he really can do as a musician overall. Don't forget on small clips where he plays very awesome jazz licks & arpeggios too, and bits of pieces of blues & funk in between songs at concerts.
People bitch about how Synyster isn't a clean guitarist, but you know who he plays better than?
All of the big four of thrash metal's lead guitarists.
Technically he's better than Friedman, but I'd have to say in terms of musicality and creativity Marty takes the cake. No hate though, I absolutely love both
Better than chris broderick? No way haha. Syn is good, even if syn read your comment he would punch you in the face for being ignorant. You have no idea who the big four is and their contributions to metal.
moises salcido Chris Broderick isn't in Megadeth anymore, and he isn't their original lead guitarist. If I didn't know who the "big four" are, why would I refer to them as the Big Four? I've seen Metallica live, Anthrax twice, Slayer three times. I'm very familiar with the big four.
You said the big fours lead guitarist. You never mentioned current or passed members. There is no way syn is better than Poland or friedman. You do understand without these bands and members, There wouldn't be a7x. Look at their home videos with the rev. I'm not thrashing syn, he is great but to say he is better than the lead guitarists in the big for is ridiculous. What you can do is compare him to Michael Paget and Jacky vincent. They are all from this generation so it would be to compare these instead.
moises salcido What does it matter if they're from the same generation? Syn is leagues better than Kirk Hammett, Scott Ian, and Kerry King. He's technical on a level that they never could be. I'd put him even with Marty Friedman. He's influenced by all of them, but he's surpassed nearly everyone in that genre. There are other guitarists in this generation that he pales in comparison to. Tosin Abasi and Guthrie Govan come to mind.
This is fucking unbelievable!
Synyster Gates is my favorite guitar player. He makes it look so effortless but its just unbelievably amazingly awesome.
This was a song he wrote For US The Master Class Winners . I was one of the Winners it was so amazing live. It sounded so much better in the Hollywood Guitar Center room Too .A better version will be released soon, this is of one of my friends videos from the guitar contest ,from his I phone. Thanks for the cool comments. Syn is the coolest rock star i have ever met too. No ego just really down to earth and a great person!!
Synyster Gates you are Best! GOD OF GUITARIST !
Okay i too really adore him but he's far removed from best....
what do you mean?
I mean he's clearly not the best...
why? who's bestest guitarist ..
Malmsteen,Petrucci,Satriani etc..
Syn is the greatest guitarist in the world right now
it seems so easy he taps like its a soft pillow how does he do it so fast
he makes it look so easy xD
Maria Cheska it is really difficult
wasif ud dowlah i said HE makes it look easy. i didn't say the solo was easy.
(ps: GREEN F***ING DAY)
Maria Cheska GREEN F-----ING DAY Rocks bro my favorite bands are green day a7x and alter bridge
i'm surprised you like green day and a7x at the same time. pop punk and heavy rock. contradicting.
Thank you so much Trey Quick for sharing this with us!!! As much as many of us would have loved to be there at least someone there was awesome enough to share a part of the experience. Synyster Gates, he never ceases to amaze me, my god.
I didn't think this solo was great musically. But i would like to have tabs or sheet of it since the piece uses a lot of different techniques. I DO think however he's solos in A7X's songs are up there with Petrucci's work, i don't get why only a handfull of guitarists play/write solos that sings and is a much part of the song as the vocals. I'm sick and tired of pentatonic/bluesy solos. Syn and Petrucci all the way!
That was the point, to show several different techniques for the master class he was doing.
Well yeah as far as music goes it wasn't the best. But ya gotta keep in mind that SYN himself said in that class to never write a solo like that. It was only to do a solo with different techniques to show the people in the class.
I still dont get how it isnt musically goos it sounds amazing to me
I love blues but i understand your point
He is literally ripping the soul out of his guitar
He's a phenomenal guitarist.
Wow the best!
I grew up with Avenged Sevenfold: (First heard them when I was 9) I'm 19 now, 10 years later and I'm still in love with their music. Syn just personifies everything musical about my childhood. Though Hail to the King was a disappointment and quite frankly, I think the band will never be as good as they were before Jimmy died, they will always have my love and respect. #forREVer
EDIT: The appointment of Brooks Wackerman looks (and sounds) very promising. The Jade Helm score for Black Ops 3 is biblical. It looks like my heroes are going to make a full comeback. I really really hope so.
Myth0l0gical and they did.
Those harmonies are just awesome
why the fuck does he make this look so easy!!
saturdaynightmare957 cuz he's fucking synyster gates
This is beautiful
This guy is literally the best
He is not human! I have been playing since 1984 and not even close. He has a gift from god!
Only syn can do a pinch harmonic while double tapping
If you are refering the harmonic at 1:42. it's not a pinch harmonic, it's a tapping harmonic. He has his left hand in the 4th fret and hit with his right hand in the limit between 13th and 14th frets. Anyway, it sounds awesome :)
Martin Ronning did when he did a cover of this
@@methoril and so did Hector Trejo
I can listen to him play for hours. God I love this dude.
Reading through these comments is frustrating seeing all of this hate do you people even understand music theory? Or even know the kind of background gates has? He's actually one if the most knowledgable and skilled guitarist of the modern day he learned from blues, jazz and classical. He's extremely smart and extremely skilled so don't hate just because you can't play like him learn to respect people and open your eyes and ears he may play a little different than your used to but his skill I would say is on par with some of the gods he may not quite be there but if you told him to play something he would play it.
he has a completely different style from anyone else.
thats what makes him stand out from everyone. this guy is very talented. everyone else sounds like... everyone else.
Hello, my name is Synyster Gates and I bet you can't play this.
*plays an incredibly amazing and complicated solo*
So basically what I did was...
His style is what makes him one of the absolute best guitar players. The fusion of his ingredients of theory is the recipe of a7x
I love how he's using the guitar that says REV instead of SYN
I really wish I was that good, hats off to syn, he's my favourite guitarist
When someone says that guitar can’t be played like a piano, show em 1:51
SynysterGates is One of the best Guitarist from the 20's when they rose to fame until today's...
Oh man, the official A7X's page shared your video !
it's so incredible to see syn grow as a guitarist over these years, he's totally awesome and i agree, definitely underrated!
hooooooo I love synyster gates
+Lukas Lacote trop coll
+Lukas Lacote gay?
+Vixendrofld must be on Crack
Dude, this deserves so much respect!!! I can't even... Speechless.
PLEASE put this in a song Syn!
I've been waiting for his solo album forever.
syn is getting old! look at his eyes.. not the same as he was between city of evil and nightmare.. i think the whole rev thing took a very big toll on all of them
Maybe because he's over 30 now and he shows it.What did you expect,that he was gonna look all the same in decades?
Miraç Bayrak You're telling me this fucker isn't immortal?
guitarb3ast7x sadly
its normal that it had an impact isnt it? look at the concert in rock am ring this month they were al great
I asked my 13 year old sister how old this guy might be, because I think he looks so young with this hairstyle and without a beard, and she thought he was about 24 or 26 ( actually he is 33) :P infiniteGamer96 I was at Rock am Ring and they were amazing, the hole crowd was shouting "Hail, Hail". :D
Omfg that tapping section REALLY blew me away, was NOT prepared for that...
i can't believe he lost in the alternative press music awards for best guitarist.
Who won?
AlexJasso100 Phil from of mice & men
Yeah well fans voted for that so more of mice and men fans voted :P
wut? Is that supposed to be mean... ;-; you make me cry
Come back to this all the time. Army takes up to much time man
if only A7x sounded this good...
I love just how bored he looks literally the entire time. It's like it's not even difficult for him! Seriously one of the most underrated guitarists out there.
that should be a new song!!!!!, he's one of the bests
This came out a year or two before the stage, and it sounds just like stuff from that album... crazy foreshadowing
I think that it would be better Synyster with former hairstyle.Sorry this Google translator, i russian.
His hair made him a better guitarist?
syngatesJr6661a7x No, I just think so.
I agree, he's still one of my favorite guitarists ever... But now he looks funny haha.
Alex Sadeghi Yeah:)
he looks so puny now i remember when they started he was ripped now hes getting older hes still amzing though
I personally say he is one of the best of this generation. After losing some of the biggest guitarist's in history, he is for sure one of the best. I play guitar, and some of the scales that he is able to do with just his hands and no pick its amazing.
3:13 - 4:18 was very nice
Strong solo Synyster.
His solos are bad ass, end of story.
love how effortlessly he does this
also, props to the cameraman, for the editing, making the image stabilised like that (unless it's an app or some shit, then props to that)
would've been better if he didn't hold the phone in the portrait orientation like a tool.
He sounds like a modern Marty Friedman :O
I've been listening to this for hours
I hope they turn this into a song for the next album
Cool shit right there
This should be on the stage
How in the fuck do you do an artificial harmonic without using a pick?
Thumb and index finger…look up Harp Harmonics
It's called Tap Harmonics. It looks very complicated but then when you research about it, it's kinda easy.
Usually you can tap the harmonics one octave higher, but it must be possible five or seven frets ahead...
Tap the metal space between each fret it's can't be in clean tho need a lot of distortion or sustainiac harmonics if you want you can message me on Instagram and I can send you some tabs for this and how to do that my insta is SYNDYCATE_REVENGE
Absolutley amazing this IS a song for their new album which is being released in 2016-17 cant wait!!!!!
It's been more than three years since this was uploaded.
I still can't play this shit.
Synyster Gates really has it going on!
Synyster Gates:
The man who forever ruined parallel fifths.
Can't you just leave that cheesiness out of your fucking master class solos either?
What do you mean he ruined it? It's not cheesy at all. Parallel 5ths happens a lot and it sounds cool. The only place parallel 5ths doesn't sound good is some voice leading.
Sliip Gates
Maybe if you just got into music. I know parallel fifths happen a lot. But they happen too much. It's part of the reason why the metal community sees metalcore as a big joke for talentless and tasteless dipshits that just began using guitars.
Parallel fifths do not sound good on the basis of just being parallel fifths, that's reasoning for impressionable idiots. It's all about doing them in the right time if you're actually going to be _creative_, and this means sometimes not doing them at all. Syn plasters them all over his work, probably because of tasteless fans going "oh durrr hurr r omg 2 guitars playen at teh saem time that is so kewl dis guys are genies!"
***** No no. I got you. I can definitely see that. And I've been into music for a long time. But I guess I've just taken a bit of a stronger liking to it.
***** But most of their dual work isn't actually parallel 5ths, more 3rds and 6ths.
Oh shit you're right. I'm retarded. I meant parallel 3rds.
Amazing guitarist
He does a masterclass??!?!
it was a contest that guitar center did a few months ago where you would download a backing track to an avenged song and make a cover of it using your own style nd version of the song and then you submitted them and syn picked the 10 he liked most. flew them to hollywood and gave them guitars
You can definitely hear the beginnings of the sound of The Stage coming through here
I'm gonna be putting up a cover and tutorial of this soon. I've got it 99% learned
ill check it out
were you kidding? im checking you channel daily
I'm not kidding. Its still kinda sloppy. Sorry about the wait. Maybe another week or two.
Okay, ill be waiting :)
aladezzz I'm just gonna do a cover video of it and Publish a tab for i on guitar tab. The Tab will be up by tonight.
He's amazing
To any/all haters out there to Syn or A7X, instead of pissing of the "fanboys" or fans of the band why don't you just go somewhere else, like idk twindle your dinks to Nicki Minaj or something argueing with this crowd wont't get you anywhere Syn is a helluva good guitarist and if you disagree post a vid of you doing better and Ill change my mind
People think that people like Steve Vi, Jimi Hendrix inspire me, but thats bullshit Synyster Gates and Zacky V are my fucking heroes and they always will be nothing makes me want to play music more than a great A7X song or something released like this. Thank you Brian and Zachary.
I have it all tabbed out, cover coming soon!!!
tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/a/avenged_sevenfold/synyster_gates_master_class_solo_tab.htm
holy f man thats alot of tabbing. I really appreciate it, thanks!!
Hey man thanks for putting up the tabs. It definitely makes a little more sense what hes playing with it right in front of you. But I do have one concern and thats with the intro bit. His fingers dont match with the tabs. You have the notes cycling around the 12th fret, but the closest he really gets to it is the 11th. But he really seems to stick around the 8, 9 and 10th frets. Idk, I just found it odd.
Bobo Thompson That's true. I accidentally tabbed the other guitar for that part, my apologies, I'll fix it real soon.
mayuiers777 Its all good man. I still appreciate the tabs though. It has definitely helped me figure out that whole tapping section.
Bobo Thompson I fixed the section that was messed up
