Avenged Sevenfold Sidewinder not fake version

[ugxsan]

It's not too fast, the tempo is alright, however it does sound off. Not surprising. He's doing two guitar parts at the same time.

[Tzevi89]

sounds all wrong. and its waaayyyyy too fast.

time to buy a metronome

[EspenTremonti]

horrible



[LAPD37]

Extremely sloppy

[megotvtec]

why are you playing so out of sync?

[m3tALH3aD142]

0:29 - 0:33

sounds like a funk song.

[hjustin93]

Good fucking job man! This is a hard ass solo

[ScreamerzProductions]

@ERPPP He'll shave when you grow some balls.

[TheBielms]

Dude, U SUCK

[CiscoMcLovin]

yeah this is garbage

[MrMe1122334]

sucks

[BillyWigmore]

fake. lol jk, it was shit

[xfuuckkkstaarzx]

dislike!

[Seraphblood]

You play really fast, and fairly accurately. However, I would have redone the video. There were just a few too many rhythm slips and sour notes etc. But I can tell you know how to play it.

[il0v3m3t4l]

stop fucking criticising. this dude is fucking awesome, and is probably much better than all of you faggots will ever be.

[TheMangasm]

lol i would never accuse that of being fake, think i nearly threw up.

[iLknowLurLmum]

maybe ppl should stop whining. I like avenged sevenfold they are an awesome band and it was close enough to the real thing. if u think its so shit y dont u post a video of it.

R.I.P the REV

[randallcormier]

you should take more time to learn the solo correct, then record it once you got it note for note

[cyberman7000]

isnt playing guitar all bout what makes him happy though? its not note for note but that he could write something that still sounds that great is saying something. playing the original doesnt make it yours.

[yungbrooklyn487]

Lol this vid was actually one of the best ive seen so far...even though towards the end he had a little tempure tantrum LOL xD but bigcatA7X is right. its fucking hard to play acoustic that hard

[worldzfinezt]

nazi party

[BigCatA7X]

stop rippin on this guy. He's fuckin awesome and i'd like to see any of u bastards play as quick as him on acoustic. Good job mate

[duff5000]

great job, keep it up

[Ab0rti0N]

FAKE

[isitzain]

while you can play this solo better than i can, yuo're making many a mistake

[xKamikaze13]

what guitar are u using?

[audiofunkdialect]

i think its a martin semi hollow acoustic electric

[nate2401]

U look funny

[gcpdrummer]

syn doesn't play most of it. his dad does.

[isitzain]

his dad plays the first 8 bars, syn plays the second 8 bars.

[audiofunkdialect]

how do you know that? i thought i read the his dad plays the whole thing at the end

[isitzain]

well you can tell that there's 2 different guitarists. main.y because of the panning. if you listen to it through headphones, for the first 8 bars its hard panned to one side, then the next 8 its hard panned to the other. everything played on one side is one guitarist and everything on the other side is the other guitarist. the second 8 bars of the solo are panned to the side that all of syn's stuff is panned to.

[audiofunkdialect]

yeah but unless this information has been released officially, you can't know that, bands use panning techniques all the time meant for stereo listening

[musicman12]

I'm the one who played the solo

[audiofunkdialect]

and? not really sure which comment you replied to but it doesn't seem to make sense for any of them

[Sommarkattt]

Joke, its not a fake. But ur doing it without breaks, and no feeling. Soz, but its shit

[Sommarkattt]

fake

[LameAimer47]

awesome guitar playing there!

[davidcaruso1]

or syn and his dad i guess, it sounds like an acoustic through most of it and then an acoustic and classical at the end

[davidcaruso1]

Syn plays most of it but they both come in on the end, it sounds like syn is on the acoustic while zacky is on the classical guitar. He's trying to play both guitar parts at the end which is why it sounds off...

[brainac0cult]

its fake.

[nickzimm]

how?

[brainac0cult]

just joking dude!

[brainac0cult]

jkin btw

[nickzimm]

hah. k

[JeickOA7X]

esas ya son mamadas ¬¬'!

[uchihathegreat]

doe Brian sr. or syn play the solo in this song

[froloshki]

Brian does :)

[virtuastudios]

papa gates plays it and he also wrote it

[Samfisherofwoe]

Syn's dad

[FetusElitusInc]

I can't believe nobody has realized this yet, but i'm pretty sure he's making some of those mistakes on purpose to prove that he's actually playing the rest of it, which he plays just fine.

[SYNGuXxX]

jajaja well done dude, its sounds pretty good...

Keep up the hard work

[oscar1901]

your doing it too fast, but good played

[akio9]

stupid dumbass who the one say his playing is a fake

this guys is amazing

:D

and that solo is not imposible to play atm

[KeepsMeBurning]

ITs not even Syn who makes the original solo its his father he says it him self.

[fleaandstump]

fake

[Konstipoju]

holy shit O.o amazing!

[ShaunHeavyGuitar]

pretty good lol.

[Widmaark]

That was awesome dude!

[LILoRUBE]

Like it :):) screw all the haters ... they know shit about jack shit tbh lol ... keep playing xxx

[JoeLerum]

i bet 90% of the people giving you shit about this can't even play guitar

[KipXtReme]

no offense man but i dnt think it was such a good idea to show ur face in this video...and whats up with the ending there?

[musicman12]

I just thought it was a good idea to show my face.

[KipXtReme]

well shit man... if youre trying to prove 60 thousand viewers wrong bout a fake vid or whatever the least u cld do is actually LEARN the fckin solo and hit the notes and keep the rhytm but shit man....didnt u watch it after u filmed it,, u actually thought that ppl would watch the response and be impressed or some shit and with the number of views youre havin id be embarassed as fuckin hell to be showing my face while playin like that man

[musicman12]

It's an image thing, I've got a big ego to support.

Basically, I just want to know if you'll be in my band. You can sing but I want the cameras on my face. I'll make faces like that all night... And you can just sing.

[freemilehouse]

fuck you

[SomethingxObscene]

okay, why dont you go and learn it then play it without a backing track.

Unless you can do better, just stfu fag.

[jackle15jew]

@KipXtReme wow kid i bet u cant even play guitar and sense u play guitar hero u think ur the shit dont criticize when the actual artist plays an acoustic solo on a electric guitar ok post a vid of you playing guitar before u insult a musician because i bet you this guy playing the sidewinder solo is way better than u are

[B4TBOMRKITE]

@KipXtReme lol i thought the same.

[musicman12]

@B4TBOMRKITE

you think like a bird brain, no offense

[madmikeman08]

how could that be fake he sucked sooo bad

[ClupeGuitar]

so right

[varunorama]

totally agree...dont do it again!!!!!

wow...

[suenamejordesnude]

i have no idea why everyone is slagging this off,

its an amzing rendition- fucks sake the dude plays BOTH parts at the end!

its a fucking odyssey of a solo so of course hes not gonna play it perfect from start to finish

really good man :) really impressive- tho yeah, a bit too speedy. i really wish theyd play it live, ive never seen em do it

keep playin xxx

[GibsonRock4All]

hahahahha

dude

they dont play it live cause its next to impossible to hit perfect

ahhaa

and not to mention it would be very difficult to switch between all the different beats and guitar sounds and such on the fly!

its better left in the studio

despite being an amazing song

[LargoMadMan]

Dumbass, thats why they have an amazing tool called an EFFECT PEDAL!! If they wanted, they can play it, and its obviously not "next to impossible" to hit perfect because its been done by them, SO MANY TIMES! PLay, Synyster rips such more harder solos then sidewinder, so you should check yourself.

[GibsonRock4All]

hahha

now i understand that you dont play guitar

but i will have to say that he doesnt play solos the exact same in concert as on the album

im a big a7x fan so i can see this

being that i also play guitar i can tell when a guitarist is playing a different solo because its easier...

its much easier to play something near the original than the exact solo from the album every time

much of the time they are on the album the way they are because they got MANY many tries at hitting it

nothatinonsyn

[Mert0504]

Seriously man you better watch your step or I'm going to make out with your dad.

[B4TBOMRKITE]

ya its awesome but like he said. it really would be a really difficult song to play live and sound good.

[John3710]

join my band haha

[Fromaster39]

Everyone shut the fuck up

His rendition

Yall are the reason music today sucks

[musicman12]

I thought I destroyed it with tons of class. Notice how I use a pick. Also, I'm not normally a messy person. Maybe it's my guitar that's messy, DESPITE THE FACT THERE'S NO TRASH ON IT.

[vadershommie]

i liked it....

[falige]

im sorry but if u cant play a song dont post a video of u destroying a good solo

[santanic15]

sry to say this but....

its a MESS

[Snow4LifeNEver]

why the fuck would this shit be fake

he missed almost 100% of the notes and he was playing way too fast, which made him miss even more notes

[sunexerxfaenxgal]

this is fake -.-

[sunexerxfaenxgal]

This is fake -.-

[Sommarkattt]

u can go fuck yourself. The original solo is so pure. Avenged Sevenfold plays with variation. Its the best band ever

[mrgrimm25]

sounds like youre strangling a chicken with a guitar wire and hes plucking it with his beak as youre strangling him.

[stevemcneal2]

The out of placement for a metal band is what gave the band a good review of their album. The same shit from a band is cool but if it stays the same it gets rather old. So bands slowly change their music style.

[xlongoriax]

that solo isnt even that hard and you didnt do it right only a few parts

[Mert0504]

If you think this video is real you have down syndrome.

[n3ur0tic88]

Wasn't even close.

[Joeysic66]

Your just like Synyster Gates, just minus the being good at the solo. :)

[SevenFiveThree21]

Dude, you did pulled it off but it sounds a bit rushed. Good job though, it's amazingly hard to do it and you did it sped up xD

[justchill919]

good....

but slow the fuck down

[darkxspectre]

RICK YOU BEAST YOU FUCKING OWN

[guitar1017]

love da guitar face at the end 5 STARZ

[pyrofreakboom]

good good just gotta clean it up keep practicing but a little slower so both your hands can get in tune with eachother

[Fressemannn]

good job! :D i think youre skilled and weird but we're all weird somehow.

[musicman12]

Haha yea no worries, I embrace it. I enjoy life by being myself. Whatever that entails. (minus being creepy, conniving, or an ass and actually being serious.)

..... Now you know.

[musicman12]

I figure it's more creative this way. I'll transcribe it better and post another one maybe sometime in my life.

[shredder27]

loosen up dude, you look soooo stessed out

[musicman12]

hahah, I prefer stress. Just thinking about ALL the work it takes to do that solo transcription tires me out for the day.

[tbaldwin102]

learn it the real way.

[rustysack]

that was pretty cool i like the original better but i respect the talent it takes to even get close to a solo like that

[pokolvrolok]

Hi does anyone know if it was Syn who wrote the solo for sidewinder or his dad?

[ricreech]

THATSSSS TOTALLYYYY WRONG MAN!

[musicman12]

I'm glad you brought attention to it.

and to Germanisme, it was sloppy. I did three takes and a couple of them had more mistakes up front but not at the end. I figured I'd just post the best of the 3 overall and I didn't want to spend more than 10 minutes because then it's like I might have got a lucky take. Which isn't doesn't clearly show you 'normal' skills. At least I feel that way.

[Germanisme]

Wow that was pretty good, but towards the end when in hugh on the frets it sounds very sloppy, if you put it on an amp it might sound better. :)

[hipto13]

i think that was great but i feel like u were speeding it up. Which is very impressive still but i think if u went a little slower it would have sounded a little cleaner. but props man i dont know anyone that can do that.

[normajean46]

its real but sounds like shittt

[volcomsc20]

whats wrong with you? That shit was amazing!

[killerazy]

its good! whats wrong with you?!!thats shit was good!

[ilikeurmom12]

holy shit man, that rele was amazing, i need to learn that solo

[Finite101]

Thats pretty impressive man. Keep up the good work.

[overheadproductions]

youre not synchro, piece of shit

[Lizard818King]

I must say some of the song is wrong. But even knowing that it doesn't change how well you just played a pretty fucking sick solo on an acoustic guitar. I love metal and all these covers just overkill the gain. Way to show some real skill.

Extremely impressed with playing the duet on one guitar. At one part you play both at the same time. One is right one is noticably wrong. But that doesn't matter, was the only way you could have done it.

Keep it metal

[PutOpiXel]

LEET xD

[freddodaguitar]

im impressed that you can play the two guitar parts at the end at the same time

but the main two parts of the solo sounded fukin terrible.

it was totally wrong.

[musicman12]

Call me sometime I'll play poorly transcribed solos for a family convention.

[intheleafwetrust92]

yeah fuck all off ya that aint fake, wtf are u going on about just coz ur all jealous that he rules and you don't

[systomaster]

can u message me telling me what kind of guitar your using? thanks man good video

[musicman12]

Taylor T5 (Thinline 5 way). Standard.

[BadmintonSpartan]

that is one nice guitar man

[bangushotme]

:D wow u r kwl :D i am rubish on guitar lmao

[Dumpydarkshot]

i loved it man its awesome :D

[stankylittleangus]

that's good but you should hold some notes longer, sounds kinda weird at parts...good job man. and hahahahahaha camo baseball said he had more hair on his asshole what a freak.

[AvengedSevenfoldAlex]

why is everyone focusing on the beard not the music. good job on the playing, i didnt see the other vid so i dont know if it was a fake or not, but good job on this one.

[musicman12]

It is a shitty beard.

[AvengedSevenfoldAlex]

i have to admit yeh, but that wasnt the point of the vid...was it?

[musicman12]

I left it out there for everyone else to interpret. To me it's about a very bad beard and weak mustache. When I grow up more it'll probably be about what I actually played.

[massacreflip]

ur hella good

fuck ur haters they're just jealous

[mmmmegh93]

amazing job. keep it going

lol to the last part

i tend to do that myself.. once i mess up i just go wild haha

again, amazing job :]

[camobaseball]

wtf is on your chin man????

[musicman12]

hahah It's excess. As Americans we always have and use more than we need. So what's around my chin and cheeks is my greed.

[camobaseball]

no i think its a shitty excuse for a beard, i have more hair on my asshole

[musicman12]

hahahahah I raised this beard since I was a child man damn guy that hurts. It was impressive in 2nd grade but its lost its appeal over time.

[camobaseball]

No. I think its a shitty excuse for a beard. I have more hair on my asshole. Other than that, great cover!

[Shad0wsFall666]

hahaha you are fucking stupid, get a life

[Colby10123]

im pretty sure that synester plays it..his father just wrote it? idk

[musicman12]

Dear everybody,

I've trimmed my beard many times since this video. This is not a good beard.

I promise,

Musicman12

[Mert0504]

Sweet video. It's clearly a fake.  Your a asshole.

[musicman12]

hahaha who is this?

[MixoFiasco]

Wow real nice dude. A bit different to the original solos. But the last bit is awesome lol u play both syn's and zacky's parts! well done lol!

I didnt wana say it again, coz everyone already said it, but yeah, a little fast. But damn, have u got some awesome speed in those fingers!

[surfboypacific]

Bro syn Doesnt Play That its His that That Play The Last Acoustic Solo

[theShutdown]

omfg.. i would cut my arm of or something to get the ability to play that part of the song. i love it, Zacky & Synyster owns my universe :D and the way you're playing you can have a bit of it to .

[vergilg2]

gettin' there

[abhishekcs27]

lol the last part

[m0m01928]

good... very good try... very near to the original one... kinda sick to be performed by only one guitar

[musicman12]

I can't finger pick that fast, but I've been working pretty seriously on finger picking for the past year. I'm trying for a 5 finger technique though as opposed to playing primarily with thumb, index, and middle fingers.

[chinsack]

Oh shit, on second thought, it probably is picked =\ oh well. Eh here comes a youtube egofag.

[chinsack]

Haha! Yeah the facials were good. Uhmmm have you checked out that kid that does it on acoustic? That part is supposed to be finger picked :( The band gets syn's dad to play it lol. I need to sit there and figure it out like you did, but I'd feel better being able to finger pick that fast! Good job though.

[R3STRIKT3D]

he took the solo and made it faster, u own everything man.

but the best part was the facials at the end :P haha

[opossimply]

That was fucking fast,man!

[areyouacucumber]

sweet you played it faster.. like it was'nt fast enough :P

keep up the good work

[rxx77]

this is sick guy i love the part at the end where its 2 guitars but you own it up yourself. the other one doesnt really sound fake, but this one is better

[PoGoX7]

Ha Ha good stuff man... Nice little cover there,,,

PoGo...
