Synyster Gates - Afterlife Solo

[ZynHD]

Im a fanboy :)

[JWaffles97]

Yeah u heard it too.

[3WordsToSay]

I am the only one who hear that "impossible" at the end ? xD

[MichaelJPMITCHELL]

What's up with the cloth on the top of the fretboard? Someone tell me please?

Syn, you rock!

[austin6ish]

@MichaelJPMITCHELL When you record a solo, you aren't playing any open strings (usually) and if your not playing anything open, you don't want your other strings buzzing, so he ties it up there to eliminate that buzzing during recording. Your Welcome.

[MichaelJPMITCHELL]

@austin6ish Awesome, thanks very much

[noobker]

@MichaelJPMITCHELL so the other strings dont ring and make everything sound messy

[RoCrazy527]

The solo in afterlife is... imposible ._.

[HardRockProphecy]

I know i cant play this song and synyster gates is fucking amazing but he went out of time for a sec

0:11 :D :D :D

[DanielaA7x]

Idolo te amo *-* xD

[lazyliam1234]

The impossible at the end is edited by the uploader, it isnt syn himself

[codysimpson143ya]

@lazyliam1234 true 

[MenInTightsooh]

Haha!!! the "impossible" at the end.



[MrBurritoz]

Thumbs up if you heard "impossible" at the end

[Skatebrigade411]

is that a banana on the top of the guitar?

[codysimpson143ya]

he is sexyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy damn

[Jestridge0005]

[jig744la]

i think that's real syn.

and then watch 3:13

keep watching and u'll know that

[presl3y0905]

.......

[TheBlackveilbrides98]

i like how at the end

Matt: the solo in afterlife was

Syn:impossible...

[MrMrbasskillingspree]

@TheBlackveilbrides98 no, here didnt say that

[TheBlackveilbrides98]

@MrMrbasskillingspree well then someone said "the solo in afterlife was" and syn said "impossible"

[chevy4life869]

0:16 he switches it to GOD MODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[carley19365]

Omg that is the greatest solo I've ever heard. Synyster is like the hottest guy in the world-3

[PAINPS3123]

everybody is comparing synyster gates to chuck norris.

I mean hes good but hes no syn.

[sokkeskum]

@PAINPS3123 why cant you faggots come up with your own fucking comments?!

[PAINPS3123]

@sokkeskum somebody lives in their mothers basement...

[PAINPS3123]

@sokkeskum I would agree but this is a true statement therefore I am within my rights... yeah nerd burn

[sokkeskum]

@PAINPS3123 im just saying, like every top comment is always just a rip off like of another comment. and LOL im 16 so i live with my parents believe it or not -.-' what are you like 13?

[PAINPS3123]

@sokkeskum 15... i agree but its true that syn is awesome so can we agree on that?

[sokkeskum]

@PAINPS3123 yeah lets leave it at that

[gungrave10]

@PAINPS3123

then compare syn with takayoshi ohmura

[BVBisawesomeee]

dayummm in need to learn to sweep

[RenoOfAkatsuki]

@BVBisawesomeee

You and me both. Pretty much the only thing i'm weak at when metal playing is concerned. Not to say i'm a master at pinch harmonics, hammer on's and pull off's, tapping etc. But, i can incorporate them because i can actually perform them. Lol

[BVBisawesomeee]

@RenoOfAkatsuki exactly its the same here not perfect but can do it at least its just sweeping lol

[RenoOfAkatsuki]

@BVBisawesomeee

The two hands just don't seem to synchronize properly. I've watched tons of video's and printed up sweeps and spent time on it too. Ugh! It's frustrating. Lol

[BVBisawesomeee]

@RenoOfAkatsuki xD ikr u have the same problem i have

[RockerJake252]

The 5 star solo tabs on ultimate guitar are pretty accurate.

[Kickass10114]

tabs???

[woods8870]

@billiejoestrongarm tick tock i 'm moving the pawn

it wont be long

the walls are closing in

the roof is coming down

where will your body be found

[SecondDrumbeat]

Guys, the "impossible" is from another part of that making of and just accidently added here. watch it and you´ll know :P

[Sinistro6661]

Toca De +

[MattyyyM]

Watch mine im getting comments saying its the best on youtube!!!

[MrExplorerman101]

Why does he have that rag or whatever it is tied around the neck of the guitar? Anyone?

[nightsaimy]

@MrExplorerman101 it's a banana shell :P

it's to make the sound on the guitar different. people uses most often a rubberband or something :P

[FecklessCretin]

@MrExplorerman101 to mute the strings so the open strings don't ring out and make noise

[666BaJ]

he are fucking great..

[xXblackwidow22Xx]

Synister I kno thinks it is impossable but this video is fake that impossable is added so wtf u talking about

[xXblackwidow22Xx]

why did so many people thumb up this video when it is completely fake he added in the impossible at the end and it looks well enough of you know that though and thats what i don't get

[MultiBulletstorm]

@xXblackwidow22Xx but its not fake...

[GuitaristfromFX3]

Wats that yellow thing on the end of his guitar??

[Brendanlikesthis]

@GuitaristfromFX3 Just a cloth or something. It's used to dampen string noise etc.

[TheJuxtaposedKing]

430,000 people just orgasm'd

[MrVag12]

IMPOSSIBRU!!

[UberMatTuck]

so? I can play smoke on the water? Beat that!

[whatthaafuck]

@UberMatTuck so? hes famous and youre not.

[UberMatTuck]

@whatthaafuck Dude, it was a friggen joke. I love Syn :)

[whatthaafuck]

@UberMatTuck you better ! :P

[UberMatTuck]

@whatthaafuck =D

[gungrave10]

for me, the best solo syn ever created. it have melodies, and it is pretty technical

[ethannewel23]

This is the reason my life goal is to be able to play like Syn.

[97rockmetal]

i can play : 0:00 to 0:07 :D

[xxMark5maNxx]

I tried to play this solo, but all of the strings on my guitar broke haha

[Rainbowguitar27]

i know mine isnt that good but i learned it a month ago so respect that pls :)

[BrandonStrums]

And that was a bad take...

[rudicci]

HEY GUYS, I NEED YOUR HELP... I HAVE A COVER OF THIS SOLO(PRETTY DECENT) MY BROTHER TOLD ME THAT IF I CAN REACH 1,000 VIEWS BEFORE NOV 12TH, HE' LL PAY HALF OF MY NEW GUITAR... IT HAS 700+... PLEASEEEE HELP ME OUT! :) THANKS. (IS IN THE FRONT PAGE OF MY CHANNEL)

[rudicci]

[MattyyyM]

Everyone plz watch my cover of this solo!!

[60millionaire]

the only hard parts in the solo are the parts that sounds easy... -.-

[thepurplecrystalz]

Ah...But can he play "Smoke On the Water"?

[kavoo12]

@thepurplecrystalz you mean Smoke On the Walter"

[EnZiGaming]

@thepurplecrystalz Yes He Can

[Synnerable]

@thepurplecrystalz Hahaha! Perfect ^^

[unreal1298]

lol creative username

[xxjohnjohnxx2009]

yeah the solo in afterlife is imposible after 0:31 lol :)

[RmNaNtCbScRrn]

i came here to watch the comments about the solo, not about the "impossible" shit, we ALL know what happens at the end we all watched it... most of the comments are about that, damn! people drives me crazy, also the thumbs up shit, the "240 we meet again", the thumbs up if your watching this in 2011, people for fucks sake, be original......thats all im asking for

[LendoRec]

errr hmm... now in slow motion please :)

[super7o]

i only have a nickel

[iwillownyourface]

nice wood dildo like capo

[kurtisAyr]

lol the ending - "the solo in afterlife is impossible" xD

[vissie4life]

So 240p

We meet again.

[RmNaNtCbScRrn]

@vissie4life so, that joke is not funny anymore

[matheusmleao1]

vendeu a alma ctz

[Infernal9666]

30 people snapped a string whilst playing this.

[plamasg]

@Infernal9666

I've snapped many strings, and I liked the video x)

[Riighted]

The soloing in afterlife is .. Impossible.

[FckinRock]

Is it a banana on his guitar?._.

[DaGagamel]

only of wathing this video i can see that guitar is beautiful to play

[LukzHenrike]

The solo on afterlife is "impossible"!!! HAHAHAHAH

[onehours]

now i get why my grandpas guitar has a wooden potato on top from the top

[serser1996529]

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. I'm listening this song and solo at least few times a day, but it will never make me bored ;p And it's so amazing that he doesn't even pick between 0:08 - 0:11

[DinoGitaristaDjapo]

Best solo I have ever heared :D

[Sockenterry]

@xXxSk4T3B04RD3RxXx it´s a rig = better sound.

[blevripidou100]

@xXxSk4T3B04RD3RxXx i think its too mute stings that he dont push down on, so incase his hand hits another stings while playing it wont interrupt the genius at work

[matabe182]

thumbs up if you heard that "impossible" at the end lol

[DeathPandaDanceParty]

Was the voice that said "impossible" at the end Ross from Friends?

[bigheadisgreat]

That top comment is just perfection.

[skaterb0y69]

240p at its finest

[proporzione1]

the solo in afterlife is ... impossible....

[Sapypriestdruiddk]

@proporzione1 not impossible..just have to be really good...really really good.

[AdamAlexanderWhitlow]

Yet somehow Adam D from killswitch can destroy him with a simple riff.

[bloocci]

I like the voice in the end where syn says: "The solo in afterlife was.."

Then another voice comes in and says "Impossible"

[Ellisparks24]

@bloocci well done :L

[Aykuthor]

usucknoob123 played it perfectly :3

[TheMountandDew]

wat is the teddy bear thing on his guitar?

[THEST0N3RKID]

@TheMountandDew if you mean the yellow thing toward the end of the neck, it's just a rag that they tie there for a cleaner sound while recording.

[MeLikezCookies]

Rule #1: Do NOT interrupt Mr. Gates' solo's.

[brando6136]

Pretty kool solo but it's not as hard as people make it out to be. It's only tremelo picking, basic sweeping arpeggios, and chromatic runs and the chromatics are childs play.

Pretty kool sounding solo tho.

[Ellisparks24]

@brando6136 grr

[LethaLFender580]

@bezoro2008 no i mean like after he plays the riff that is played as the intro, It looks like hes switching something as he goes into the fuckup

[ruifmoreira3]

@LethaLFender580 Maybe he changed the toggle switch position.

[LethaLFender580]

at 0:17, wat did he just do

[bezoro2008]

@LethaLFender580 a bend? lol

[wadeisawsome12]

@LethaLFender580 he changed the three position thin to something

[iSTRlFE]

@LethaLFender580 I think he changed what pickup he was using, using the toggle switch.

[isaactokatelabateria]

i'm waiting to have parkinson to play this solo by the moment i can't

[KeblerK9091]

I COULD PLAY THIS!!.....If I was Synyster Gates.

[jedd07r]

The man on the video says: The afterlife solo

then the pokemon says : IMPOSIBLE

[Jamsessionroom1337]

The secret to mastering the solo is the banana.

[DreadCrawler]

afterlife solo played a very significant part due to the increasing quantity of young guitar players and skill boost during 3 years........in 2008 i typed afterlife solo and only 2 people covered it......usucknoob123 and alexyeung9 made a tutorial ...............TODAY +-15 year old kids all over the world plays it, proove: just now i tped afterlife solo and open page to page 22, ALL OF THOSE PAGES have kids covering afterlife solo.......synysterGates is a true inspiation for people

[kungfudragon99]

Just watching his hands play... they are majestic.

[jtstaats1]

29 ppl suck...

[xishanali]

why he tied a yellow towel on the first fret?

[DodgemProductions]

@xishanali so the strings wont ring out while he is playing. it is to prevent a sloppy sound

[TheNazz101]

@xishanali Some people use it for recording because it mutes the other strings incase you happen to hit one while playing on other strings. At least thats what I use it for...

[Thiboex13]

Oli Herbert is Lot Better than Syn..

[Gravatrax101]

Yawns...

[flipidy94]

kinda bawring

[jewelsbudd]

@flipidy94 fuck you he is beast

[flipidy94]

@jewelsbudd not saying it wasn't good shredding just not particularly memorable

[Sean2592]

that's one hell of a sweep at 0:24, he is definitely something special

[sarjanAbong]

wow.....so fast...

[seuamiguin]

did anyone heared "the solo of afterlife is IMPOSSIBLE" ?

[kieranxRHCP]

"you must have fast forwarded that!!! no wait you didn't"

[TheBas6]

0:19

STAR POWER ACTIVATE!

[smellmyclock]

i played this PERFECTLY ONCE AND I WAS AWESOME!!! and then i woke up...

[TheMrMurmaider]

@smellmyclock nice work man :)

[666Hellraiser666Zz]

I think I just broked the repeat button...

[BiFFMaN96]

i like the riffs on herts burts into fire XD

[2EOG]

@BiFFMaN96 That's not even by Avenged?

[BiFFMaN96]

@2EOG idc there both still two klick ass bands

[2EOG]

@BiFFMaN96 No they're not? Bfmv aren't even in the same league as avenged sevenfold.

[CabooseKilledChurch2]

@2EOG I agree, I'm not a huge fan of a7x but bullet is absolute garbage

[StormBlitzM37AL]

@BiFFMaN96 BFMV?

[saron380]

Wow...... This is just Arpeggios with tremolo picking. It's really just sweeping. Also a chromatic lick in there so... it's not that hard to do if you've got a grasp on those concepts

[TentativeandIntrepid]

@saron380 its not on how hard it is its about how good it sounds i myself like pentatonic riffs what bout you

[masoudnima]

lol this solo is pretty easy to play now, a year ago i wouldn't have dreamt of playing it but ive learnt most of it

[JoePruzhanovLi]

Pretty cool, but everyone seems to say this is one of the quickest and most difficult solos ever and I'd say its nowhere near. Still cool though

[ArathonSG]

The solo in afterlife was "impossible" ahahah nice dude I loved that part ahahahah

[SirrGreggs]
