syn sucks balls. hes sloppy as hell and does shitty vibrato and half ass scales. just my opinion. andy recks his ass. this is making syn look to good. the only reason hes known is because hes in a mainstream band.
@Sk8ingGuitarplayer probably way better than you xD. also anyone asshole who compares guitarists is an idiot, no one is better than the other its just preference, and i wish a7x was mainstream where i live. because mainstream over here is nothing but shit rap i swear.
@salikali2 compare him to satch, satriani is alot better of a musician than syn, thats just one example. compared to the legendary guiatrist like satriani, vai, malmsteen, MAB ecx. he is nothing. and a7x is very mainstream by me, i like a7x but not gates. u can compare guitarists up to a certain point is what it think. he is over rated is all i am saying. if its a reference then saying satriani and some kid that plays for a year is just as good as satriani..
@Sk8ingGuitarplayer Can you play better than Syn? It sure sounds like you can based on your attitude, so I'd like to make a request for you to put up a video of yourself playing something half as good as Syn.
@MonsterMetalMusic hahaaha, i will sometime put a recent video of me playing, but i dont like to view playing guitar as a competition. im just saying that he is a very overrated guitar player,
@Sk8ingGuitarplayer i think satriani is over rated. i never liked his music and who gives a fuck who is better. i play guitar and i like syns music and dont consider him over rated, you either like a persons music or dont and then if you dont like it just STFU. its fucking stupid to say hey this person is over rated because i have superior taste and what i like isnt over rated.
@salikali2 satch isnt over rated, and its because people say synyester is a god at guitar, compared to the instrumental guitarists, hes nothing. ur right its all personal taste, but he is overated big time.
@Sk8ingGuitarplayer no one is god of guitar and no one will ever be. anyone who thinks they know who the best guitarist is a fool. i say fuck what people think, people should like what they like and be happy and not have to hate other people or think what they like is the best. ignore any asshole who says syn is the god of guitar because no one is and they know jack shit. these people are just talking out of their asses because people who actually play guitar, most likely wont say that shit.
@Sk8ingGuitarplayer Yeah, I agree that Syn is a bit overrated because he's in A7X, but he's far from a bad guitarist. Sure, Andy is better than him along with hundreds of others but Synyster Gates is still a respectable guitarist.
@meloanaxx lol this is "Synyster Gates Style" ... Syn wrote most of these, but the performer has modified them with his own flavor and changed the key so it all fit. and remember, it takes MUCH more skill to write a solo, than to simply play one.
@Taydawson You're way off buddy.. This includes chromatics and raised sevenths.. AKA Harmonic minor. Maybe some other exotic scales (diminished, ect) overall a well constructed solo. Sounds nothing like a mixolydian scale, and especially not lydian..
I was pleasantly surprised by how much like Gates this actually does sound. I was expecting just someone shredding in D minor, but he honestly takes into account a lot of the little nuances of Gates' style.
Hahah other guitarists must hate Andy James so much all of these "Insert guitarist of shitty metalcore/rock band" style video's end up sounding far better than the original guitarists can actually play.
syn is an amazing guitarist and a pro lol if syn couldnt play this as good this guy. this guy wouldnt be doing a syn style lol . but this is sweet i am going to learn it.
I love how people who can't play a Synyster Gates solo talk SO MUCH shit, but can't play any of his stuff. On the other hand, Andy James, (who in my opinion is better than Syn anyway), play's his style of music to educate people, and not to say "I'm better than Synyster Gates". So face it haters, you'll never be as good as Syn, and you'll NEVER be better than Andy James.
Well basically this guy (or whoever did wrote these pieces) just used the same scale that Syn uses to write his solos (which if I remember correctly, is often a pentatonic scale). To say that Syn doesn't write stuff as complex as this is absurd...I can name a bunch of solos that are either fast with a ton of notes, slower with a lot of feel, or both.
He doesn't always write the riffs but the solos are all made by Syn. To think that he couldn't write something like the stuff in this video is i
@XxboVodxX you obviously have never listened to any Syn solos then, because this replicates a lot of his solos. I hear parts similar to the solos of Nightmare, Not Ready To Die, Afterlife, and a lot of it sounds similar to The Wicked End. Seriously listen to the solo to The Wicked End, it will blow you away. or any other A7X song
Its in D minor but theres an anus load of accidentals and chromaticisms. Like theres an E major arpeggio in there but thats not in the d minor scale. If ur looking to transcribe this, i hope u have a good ear hahaha
@ProvokingYoVillian The E Major arpeggio might come from A7X's use of the E/G# chord, which is just an inverted E Major shape, with the 3rd in the bass. Tabbed out: D - 6 A - 7 D - 6. They use that chord in "Not Ready To Die" in the verses. Usually, A7X use the G# power chord. But, usually, it's just used for how it sounds.
@Tibal4444 uhhhhhh why would that sentence seem like trolling, have you ever herd synyster live, or ever actually? this may be "in the style of" synyster, but gates would not be able to play this cleanly and efficiently like this guy can. Synyster is only popular because he is in a mainstream band, it happens with guitarists all the time.
@ThiefRiverFallsTV i've been to the paris live and got the live from lbc , how can you know that he couldn't play that ? , i think that syn can play it without any problem.
@ThiefRiverFallsTV Syn is as good live as he is in studio.. so what man? every guitarist fucks up live. it happens all the time Syn isnt popular because of a mainstream band, i knew of Syn even before fucking Pinkly smooth. and even then he was one of the best guitarist i have heard play.
@linkfreak1694 Im not saying he isnt good, and yes i know, guitar players mess up, i am one. But the solos he creates and the the patterns he knows are not nearly as complex as these. I have learned almost all of A7x's solos. They are generally not very difficult and reuse alot of the same techniques. This is 3.5 min of awesome, brilliant technique. So i will revise my statement. There is a good POSSIBILITY he could play this, but he could NEVER write something this good. and im done.
@ThiefRiverFallsTV well good thing he doesnt write all of his lics, some yes, but the majority were written by the rev and shadows. and cool that you know their solos and techniques. and i can guarantee that he could play at the same level as this guy. and he CAN write something as good as this.
@ashcoop17 never, any solo of his sounds like shit compared to this one. and everyone please stop tryin to say if i listen to this solo or tht solo that i will understand differently. I have heard EVERY A7x song and EVERY solo and i have learn AT LEAST 3/4 of them. They are not what everyone thinks them to be. and i learned them about 1.5 years in to my playing so that should say how easy they are.
@ThiefRiverFallsTV@ThiefRiverFallsTV dude stop hating, i just wondering why a lot of people always says this guitarist sound like shit, this one better, he shit compared to this...shut up!!
this guy do a guitar solo, gates and a7x make song, learn the difference
@ashcoop17 Im not really hating. Im voicing my belief that he isnt as good as people think, people keep contesting my reasoning, and i just keep having to re-explain my reasonings. Also, saying "this guy do a guitar solo, gates and a7x make song, learn the difference" is just a retarded statement. what this man in this video wrote was a composition, which is a SONG. what a7x does is easy as shit. Intro, verse. bridge chorus. in general, they may switch around the format in songs
@ashcoop17 but they use a basic STANDARD way of writing songs. Its not that difficult to do that. But im not dissing on their songs, i like A7x, i just dont think synyster gates is that awesome at guitar, and i dont think hes as good as this guy.
@ThiefRiverFallsTV Damn... you're just a fucking hater dude. I'm not saying syn's solo's sound exactly like this but they have the same type of feel. and i guarantee he could come up with this. And your talking about how syn isn't as good at guitar as everybody says?? well i have news. playing guitar isn't all about technical stuff but it's also about creativity and syn is probably the most creative metal guitarist i know. He doesn't play solo's that sound like any other metal guitarists.
@jayda101MNE If you really believe Brian Haner(not going to call him by his retarded stage name) is the most creative metal guitarist you know, I think you really need to expand your taste in music
@NorthernComfort you don't tell me what i need to fucking do. i listen all types of music from southern rock to classic rock to death metal. and trust me i know a ton of metal guitarists. and syn might not be great technique wise but his creativity makes up for it. i don't want to sound like one of those fags who think there better than everybody but i have played guitar for 7 years and studied music so i know a little something about it. and syn might not be a better shredder but he is creative
@jayda101MNE Haha 'I know a ton of metal guitarists' too as I've been playing close to 10 years and been listening to metal/rock for longer. I think tecnically he's not bad really, except for that wristband shit he uses, but I know good players that have used that for certain stuff. I just find his phrasing unbearable now(they were my favourite band for a few years until city of evil), you might think it's creative, I think it sounds like shit.
@WSynyster yeah :/ haha and the unfortunate thing is that his pinky is like double jointed or something so when he was learning he could hardly use it to its full potential (reason why he prefers his third finger)

@101poketrainer I know people with more than 30 years of guitar playing worst than him xD
WSynyster 1 month ago
@WSynyster yeah :/ haha and the unfortunate thing is that his pinky is like double jointed or something so when he was learning he could hardly use it to its full potential (reason why he prefers his third finger)
101poketrainer 4 weeks ago
@101poketrainer Sure, but he shouldn't matter, he plays like he have 6 fingers x)

Syn doesn't really string skip, and a lot of licks sound like Jeff Loomis more than Mr. Gates.

Synyster Gates is the least clean, famous guitar player I've ever heard. Andy James is one of the cleanest and most amazing players I've ever heard.

Except Andy James plays 10x better then Gates.... So much better it's not even funny.
