[MrDestabilize]

[vaynnes26]

[BdJuLy9]

[megamagnum100]

[797KiKO]

GREAT JOB MAN!!!!!!

[BaeverN]

Nice guitar and good playing :)

[GetAvenged7x]

O.O Not my favourite...

[TangeClown]

@GetAvenged7x no u in favorite

[EvanEatsPie]

Perfect :)

[AngelOfChaos963]

i don't use my pinky very much either

[Greenman109]

@A7XHellBlaze what settings do you have your amp on for this song? 

[MrRichardsome1]

<3 that note at the beginning

[MrRichardsome1]

pretty good :)

[tacticalboi]

why the lack of use with the pinky

[A7XHellBlaze]

@tacticalboi One of my first videos, please check out the rest of my videos :)

[AZMALING]

@A7XHellBlaze is that a schecter c1?

[blackquake4]

how do you hold the same note (in the beggining) for so long? I just, can't do it

[blackquake4]

Yeah, it's good

but there are some parts wrong, and yeah, you really need to alternate pick

but u play good

[A7XHellBlaze]

@blackquake4 This was one of my first videos, please check out the rest of my videos :)

[XxZ3ROmeroxX]

How can u hav all that equipment and still can't do a dive bomb

jkjk

ur cover is tight

[XxZ3ROmeroxX]

@XxZ3ROmeroxX  I know right!

[A7XHellBlaze]

@XxZ3ROmeroxX This was when I first started playing guitar. I didn't even know what a divebomb was. I actually do divebombs on some of my covers now.

[XxZ3ROmeroxX]

@A7XHellBlaze Me Too!!! haha cool cover

[TangeClown]

@A7XHellBlaze you started with a hellraiser? lucky man!

[sgtkingy]

thats good man nice but u need to alternate pick.. then you will get some real sound

[A7XHellBlaze]

@sgtkingy Thanks, I do alternate pick now, this was one of my first videos.

[Stompboxes]

I returned this guyitar for a avenger =D

[Metallica6153]

you need to alternant pick

[A7XHellBlaze]

@Metallica6153 I do, this is one of my first videos.

[Guitarra123100]

Tocas bien, eres zurdo verdad?, yo tambien QUE BUENA GUITARRA

[whokn0w5]

@Guitarra123100 en la descripcion el explico q es la camara

[radioactive1308]

nice

[TheGDShenanigans93]

thats awesome !

[gr8gonzolaz]

cool keep rocking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sshhiioott]

when you can hear the sound of strings pickin, its time to TURN IT UP!!! good work

[A7XHellBlaze]

@sshhiioott Thanks! This was one of my first videos done by ear, that's why it seems more basic, but I'm glad you liked it!

[2012mf1]

my 8 years brother n play that better!!!!!!!

soor but cant deny the fact

[A7XHellBlaze]

@2012mf1 Show me. Yea I thought so... you can't.

[Flames262574]

@2012mf1 dude this sounds exact, 100%, you cant play higher than that

[Kevin182Br00t4l]

i thought u were a lefty at first and i got excited cuz im a lefty...but then i read the description lol

BUT GREAT JOB

[niceguy303]

Well done, but the solo isn't actually extremely hard. Try "Seize the Day" by Avenged Sevenfold.

[A7XHellBlaze]

@niceguy303 I did, please check it out if you would like. I have both the live version and the album version.

[ebutzorun]

you play some wrong notes :S

[A7XHellBlaze]

@ebutzorun Yea I know, this is my version so I tried to make up most of the notes by ear. I do many covers by ear and this was probably the first one ever.

[ebutzorun]

ah lol

well then, keep on rocking ^^

[eXeCuTeRw00t]

use your pinky

[A7XHellBlaze]

Thanks for the comment. I do use my pinky, but only when necessary. For this solo, it totally wasn't necessary.

[sarhanbinbasiron]

nice

[Stride278]

i meant no one does the first note right

[hooplaKID]

its not even a note

its a divebomb

if it makes you happy ill do it

[Stride278]

yeah, i know that, he just explained that to me a while ago

[Stride278]

holy fuck this is bugging the shit out of me!! one does the very first note right.... i mean, yeah, its sounds like it.. sorta... but its not learn it right!! but also good job :p

[A7XHellBlaze]

Haha I understand completely. I can do the long dive bomb that Syn does, but I just don't have enough sustain for the harmonic, since it doesn't last that long. If I had a Sustaniac, I would definitely do it, trust me.

[Stride278]

you can? awesome!! most people don't even try :p well, at any rate, it was a 5/5 cover vid man

[Happyfeet5321]

ur the first person ive seen do the whammy scream its great to

[aLLanviciouz]

great

[burgdorfftw]

hey nice job 5 stars

ok everyone has his own version of this solo but no one can teach it. it wold be awesome of you if you could make an "how to play the river solo" video of your version. i wanna learn it but i just can't hear things out of songs so would be great nice job greez

[A7Xfanatic34]

Another good cover man. Im putting up a cover of this solo soon, but :23-:29 seconds i cant figure out what syn plays, and many different covers on youtube are different at that section. Anyways great cover :) (love the wammy)

[A7XHellBlaze]

Thanks for the comment!! Haha and yea I was confused about what Syn plays as well, that's why mine is a really simplified version, it sounds similar, but not as complicated. I would re-do it, but I realized people actually like this version :)

[musickid1337]

yo nice cover, five stars, check out my cover of the solo and the song please if you have time :)

[wille353]

Man that was insane best ive heard keep it up bro

[A7XHellBlaze]

Thanks so much for the comment, I'm glad you liked it! Your cover is awesom as well! Originally, I was very unhappy with this cover, but since a lot of people liked it, i just kept it :)

[wille353]

Np man and thanks mine is actually by ear so thats how i learned it btw what guitar are u using

[A7XHellBlaze]

All my equipment is under my info, but I'm happy to tell it to you, it's a 2008 Schecter Hellraiser C-1 FR . In this video, it's equipped with EMG 81tw/89, but I've recently switched to Seymour Duncan Blackouts :)

[wille353]

nice man was is alot of money?

[A7XHellBlaze]

The guitar was about $850, but the SD Blackout pickups were a gift from my brother.

[wille353]

yeah man thats alot but i can mange it, its a really nice guitar and i can get free humbucker pickups

[number3crow]

i just got that guitar today and i am SO happy i did....i can truly live now that i have a tremelo lol but i got the black cherry instead of gloss black

[JAMVVK]

you should got a thin pick

[StoGuitar2012]

this is prolly one of the best covers ive seen of this solo. the only thing is that it starts with a dive.

but other than that you did a really good job

[A7XHellBlaze]

Thanks for the comment! Yea, it starts with a harmonic then into a sustained dive, but back then I didn't even know how to do that, haha. I was thinking of re-doing it by following reliable tabs, but a lot of people liked my version of it and I'm glad you like it as well :)

[ingratta15]

i made a video response i'm very amateur though so please don't be too harsh :(

[CheetahBoi95]

yknow the good thing about ur camera is even if it shows you as a lefty,it helps the majority right handed guitarists follow you and get the notes.

[ingratta15]

i think this one is my fav :) thanks for subscribing to me btw i'ma make a response video of this when i can :) (so when i get the bottem E string lol :P)

[A7XHellBlaze]

Thanks, I was actually going to delete this video at first, but a lot of people like the simplicity so I just kept it. I can't wait to see more of your videos! :)

[ingratta15]

if you wanna request anything for piano i'll give it a try since you've pretty much played everything i could ask on guitar

[rjl1203]

first off, great job. but if you listen for it you'll notice he slides into more of the notes rather than jumping straight to them. but overalll great job.

[A7XHellBlaze]

Thanks for the comment!! Yea, I wish I had ears like a bat back then, then I would notice it, haha. I should find a tab for this solo and do it again, but this video has good ratings, so there's no need, haha. But yea, I did my best, thanks again :)

[rjl1203]

nah man u did great. seriously. i've been playin by ear since day one. so i automatically listen for stuff like that. and the fact that my style is similar to synysters makes it easier for me to hear what he does. ya kno? lol im borderline obsessed with his playing. it's amazing.

[DrAcoAnDReWcool]

you got a good ear mate...=D

i love your solo...easy to play and simple...^^

[A7XHellBlaze]

Thanks so much, I appreciate your generous comment! :)

[killer92tacos]

is the solo easy or hard at all?

[A7XHellBlaze]

Well since I did it by ear, it wasn't that bad. But the actual solo sounded more complicated, I just simplified it.

[CheneyTheDevil]

Nice Job dude! :)

[A7XHellBlaze]

Thanks for the comment CheneyThe Devil!! :)

[iReTriiBuTiioN]

dude nice guitar. im thinkin bout buyin that same one.

[A7XHellBlaze]

Really? That's awesome, I guarantee you will fall in love with it once you get your hands on it :)

[xmcflygreendayx]

well donee =D

that was amazing fair playy :)

[A7XHellBlaze]

Thanks very much for the comment, I appreciate it! I know it's more basic than the original, but everyone seems to like it and I'm glad you like it also :)

[CheneyTheDevil]

By the way I liked the simplicity of it.

[A7XHellBlaze]

Thanks!! That really means a lot :)

[A7XHellBlaze]

Thanks man, that really means a lot to me. I'm glad you liked it better than the original :)

[A7XHellBlaze]

Thanks for the comment! Umm yea the real solo for this is actually more complicated. Since I did it by ear, I tried to simplify it because I couldn't hear some of the notes that well. But sorry, I don't have tabs for any video I do except the first part of the Critical Acclaim solo. The reason is I either do it by ear, by looking at other videos or I have a tab book.

[PeidoLord]

man do you have a pinky?

so use that thang

[A7XHellBlaze]

Thanks for the comment. Haha yes I do have a pinky, but there was no use for it.  And no, it doesn't make it easier and it's not necessary at all. There is no rule in a book that you have to use your pinky all the time or at all for that matter, haha. As you see they are mostly bends and hammer-ons and they are not far apart.

[Triushiz]

Guys witch guitar i should buy steel string or nilon ? And why that?

[budakdk]

Well, it sounds alright to me.

i dont know, maybe its just me.

But the tones fine to me.

And yes, i do listen to Joe Satriani.

[memkills]

its not all about right notes....u need to work on tone...and gettin all those other strings quiet while playin..stuff like that..

[A7XHellBlaze]

Thanks for the comment, but is this a response to anything or just tips? I just fixed the tone with SD Blackouts for this year and I don't think it sounded muddy so I'm a little bit confused, haha.

[memkills]

wat me is sayin is that it it sorta "muddy" but slightly and to sound juss amazing u need to completely do away with that......if u listen to joe satriani..u'll here some really really amazing sound from a guitar..tone wise.

[A7XHellBlaze]

Haha yea, trust me, if I sounded like Joe Satriani, I wouldn't even be on youtube posting videos. These are just fun :)

[memkills]

lol yea...im juss bein picky..lol

[jnclassicalguitarist]

That's cool, Anthony!

Are you using Mac?

[A7XHellBlaze]

Haha yea, how did you know? I use the photo booth camera because it has cool effects, but it always has this mirror effect when I record which makes me look like a lefty.

But I am a beginner at guitar just like you except mine is electric. I've only had it for 5 months, but I enjoy it every time I play it :)

[jnclassicalguitarist]

Enjoying is the important thing! Even if my left hand is tired and fingers sore, I still have fun. :)

In Photo Booth, click Edit menu, then Flip.

Have you tried using iMovie? That's what I use.

[A7XHellBlaze]

Haha, you must have steel fingers by now because of all the calluses you develop :)

Hmm...for photobooth, I noticed that it only flips the photos, but not movies. I was so bummed, haha.

And for imovie, I've tried it, the only downside is that there are no cool effects, which is what I use for a lot of my videos. But maybe I should start using imovie for next year. You'll know when it's imovie when you see me as right-handed in my videos :)

[cooldude1227]

yo thanks to you im learning so much more on guitar!!!!! haha your great dude. keep up the good work :)

[A7XHellBlaze]

Thanks for the comment! I'm so happy that your learning a lot, you'll be great in no time! :)

[5NemesiS91]

what the fuck are you doing....learn more man

[A7XHellBlaze]

Please show me what you did in three months with a guitar, then I'll consider to take in your comment like it matters :)

[ecuadormexico]

ur fucking stupid u POSER

[joasz]

very good im giving you 5 star...

[Zypheros]

Not bad dude, this is a good song. 5 stars. By the way, it's refreshing to see a lefty haha.

[graymic]

niceeeee, i love that guitar so much too xD I really like the fact you got a lot of control over the playing. so nice cover 5 stars!

[A7XHellBlaze]

Thanks greymic!! When I did this solo, I started feeling the power of the Hellraiser, haha. But for real, if you have the money, you should definitely get one. Then again, the guitar you have now doesn't look or sound bad at all.

[a27wolf]

Could Syn have made this solo any easier? Jesus fucking christ...

[A7XHellBlaze]

HAHAHA!! Well, I have no clue how Syn played it, this is all by ear so I wouldn't know. I hope you liked it though!! Please check out my newest one, it's the last one of the year, which is the Seize the Day live version, thanks.

[a27wolf]

okay. i will.

[cripley507]

syn prolly had to make it easy so the guitar player for GC could play it

[jlloyd86]

hey man im not sure if it was exactly like it should be or not i aint learned that one yet but if it was freakin awsome bro! and if not that was freaking awsome improvastion either way man great job! imma have some of mine and my bands later on

[A7XHellBlaze]

Thanks for the comment!! Yea, it's sounds close to the real solo, but not exact because my ears can't catch all the notes, but I tried my best. And I'll be sure to check out your videos when you put them up :)

[JooBean808]

Wow, great cover man. How long have you been shredding? And fuckin' awesome Schecter. The Hellraiser is so underrated, people always go for Fender Strats.

[A7XHellBlaze]

Thanks, I've been playing since July 30, 2008 so it hasn't been that long. And yea I know what you mean about the Hellraiser. The neck is so fast and the look and feel is amazing.

[SynShadow88]

Great job dude! I think it was pretty spot on and the beginning was crazy. 5*!!

[A7XHellBlaze]

Thanks, I appreciate it bro.

[gavrielproductions]

sounds awesome, what's your equipment?

cheers :)

[A7XHellBlaze]

Thanks! My equipment is shown on my page, but I can tell you anyway.

Guitar: Schecter Hellraiser C-1 FR

Amp: Line 6 Spider III 15

Effects: BOSS GE-7

The amp and effects are basic for now, but they are great for beginners.

[AriatsuBL4cK]

nice guitar and nice playing :)

[A7XHellBlaze]

Thanks Ariatsu! I appreciate the comment!

[nascream79]

Awesome solo:-)

Your guitar sound is amazing...

You play with a lot of feeling, really nice!

5*

[A7XHellBlaze]

Thanks Nasreen!!  You're awesome :)
