Zacky: "wasnt until me and him"

Syn: "What did he says omething about me"

lol

[Felicitysevenfold]

My new music teachers mr.vengeance and mr.gates

[synystergates474]

How many times did zacky say "you know". Haha lol

[otakun]

NO, FUCK, i don´t know!! stop saying "you know" XD LOL

[ZombieBear98]

Zack: 38 "you know"

Brian : only 15 "you know"

[alexiswolf24]

3 Ya knows, not even more than 33 seconds in.

[karma661]

Men shouldn't have those haircuts. Looks homo. Badass guitarist nevertheless

[calialli22]

i want a haircut like Zacky Vengeance...And I'm a girl lol!!

[middlechinn]

syn is like yeah ok now lets make a 5 minute solo

[ChadAnthonyTheReaper]

I love to see these guys talk about music. There's a lot of feeling and structure you get from there albums but the real emotion and memory is stored in all there commentary.

[vipey]

6:30 syn is murdering inocent bunnies in his head out of bordem.

[kikiwew]

4:27 sounds like paint it black

[H3ATxCHAINZ]

Love being rhythm guitar in my band! It allows me to be so free on stage because it's not difficult to maintain rhythm! :D

[drpepperlover981]

hmmmmmm.......ima maybe start doing rythm guitar.

[Voider74KS]

foREVer*

[Voider74KS]

You guys really helped me out, Cause i new like how to do stuff, i remembered notes..but i didn't know that at the start it's good to try and do like easy notes and move your fingers slowly not fast and AFTER you get faster! You really helped me out! Thanks! Avenged Sevenfold foREver!

[Voider74KS]

Can people stop commenting "Zacky said "Ya know" 38 TIMES! OMGZ!" It's a guitar lesson from an Epic band. ENJOY!

[cheymj98]

Ya know, Zacky said "Ya Know" 38 times O.o

[rikroony]

@cheymj98 Cause he's teaching

[ZomBkiller115]

I think there was something wrong with zackys mic....it kept cutting out, y'know?

[SuperCraze13]

zacky favorite word all time is 'you know'....he always say that

[FoRealz42]

ya know?

[xxEmoLullabyxx]

Zacky says 'Ya know' so much! I think I love him. O.o

Syn XD 'Like what you said a couple of... Things ago.'

[jasvenegas3]

@798Marcos yeah I totally agree with you.

[TheNextSynyster]

but, what alot of people don't realize, is that a good lead, is usually a better rhythm guitarist. because, when you work as a lead for a band for a couple of months, as Syn said, he didn't usually worry about rhythm, until he started playing in a band, and since then, he's said that he's become a better rhythm player, listen to all their live stuff, when Syn plays rhythm, especially in Second Heartbeat, he set the rhythm, Jimmy came in 1/8th late, in my opinion, but still, he kept the rhythm.

[TheNextSynyster]

@GTAPanos, I still don't get how i can say, listen to that bass, and some people stop and say, "what's the bass?" that's usually when i turn around, and walk away... lol

[xXstonedXx1]

zacky always sounds like he has something up his nose haha

[kavoo12]

and like what you said... a couple of... things ago. LOL syn

[Yauton]

soo... you know... HAHAHA

[798Marcos]

yeah,im a lead guitarist and in my opinion the rythm guitar is more important than the lead.

see,you can make a music without a lead guitar but you cant make it without a rythm.

the lead was made just to follow the rythm, if you disagre,it shows that you doesnt understand about music.

[Requiescat7]

how can i get zacky distortion??

[GregorySpikeMD]

@Requiescat7 buy a metal muff ;D that's what i'd say and use EQ with few mid and a lot bass/low and treble/high

what amp do you have?

[The6661A7Xdeathwish]

@Requiescat7 He uses Lne 6 distortion pedals/Effects, you should try them out.

[CR7GUITARFREAK]

Zacky is really speaking something. It actually went to me and really helped to appreciate him and the way he thinks even more because im a lead guitarist and wen syn came to a7x i really thought that zacky wud go sour bt man was i wrong. Thumbs up Zacky

[NoctisXLuciusXCaelum]

Damn i want to learn how to play guitar but im not sure if i would be any good at it is it easy

[Ged7x]

Zacky need HE'S "you know" that is for him a stopgap, like a point or something like that. :D

[ShadowzA7x]

....................yknow.....­............ :)

[redlinebam]

the noise gate is annoying hahahaha

[Kickass10114]

yes, zacky, i know

[bsow2012]

i wanna go ballistic speed

[Game4Lord]

it looks like he is using a hughes and kettner head i can say that much, don't kno bout the cab tho

[whatup917]

A couple of.......things ago.....

ahahahahaha! 9:50

[onzkicg]

anybody knows what amp is he using? Amazing tone!!!! killer!

[AngelCampoverde]

you know .... you know .... you know hahaha syn rules¡¡

[BlaCalvin]

i hate this crappy noisegate... :x

[msdyrdek7]

@Decadence161 lol yea ik i hold my pick like Zack does.

[drag0nfis7]

Is this channel made by Synyster himself..?

[MrSparksE]

they like the phrase "in the pocket" dont they?

[msdyrdek7]

@Decadence161 ive always thought that but i didnt know f i was the only one who thought that

[MrDavi2751]

Syn boiando la nos 5:10

[mesolovely1]

neat

[CAlexandriaR1]

lol. "...everything he played was on time, with a groove even though he was going, you know, a hundred miles per hour..."

[nugent321]

thumbs up if you want me to do an avenged sevenfold tutorial on how to play so far away/unholy confessions/bat country/beast and the harlot :) x

[Bludhoundz8]

Zacky and Syn. NEVER has there ever been a better guitar duo. Except maybe Joel and Adam of Killswitch Engage.

[BadAssStevee]

@Bludhoundz8 Hell yeah before there time..Head & Munky!!!

[redswordslayer]

at 4:04 i felt like i was in a guitar world

[justcrust1xD]

@redswordslayer naa its from Unholy confessions :)

[A7XfoREVer578]

the riff zacky plays at 6:05 is from burn it down i think

[Daan6661]

@A7XfoREVer578

Yeah it is:)



[tatoo190]

thumbs up for being a rhythm guitarist

[xAvenged15x]

ya know 

[Charlievee555]

These guitar players are great.They are both great together.Haveing them both in the same band is great.

[DEVILSF3AR]

thumbs up if u thought he was about to play unholy confessions on 4:25

[ZadeArts]

totally agree with them about the rev! R.I.P Jimmy!!<3

[allfu93]

one beat per minute?????? how does that work?

[SUPitsDave]

@allfu93 inc up 1 beat per minute...

if you're playing at 120 bpm, you move it up 1bpm at a time...

how does that not work..?

[allfu93]

@SUPitsDave reread wat i said!!! i never said it didnt work!! i asked HOW DOES THAT WORK!!!!!! VERY DIFFERENT!! young people these days.......

[SUPitsDave]

@allfu93 and I clearly stated how it works...

Me being clear and concise, and you speaking with caps lock on, not understanding what I said and puting god knows how many exclamation marks at the end of your sentances leads me to believe that you're the young person, not I...

[Lucas060606]

5:04 syn starts to sleep .... 5:15 "huuh?" he awake

[RayIshima]

i love how when zacky is giving examples of great rhythm guitarist all he can think of is James hetfield, he doesnt even say GNR's rhythm guitarists name. Its Izzy Stradlin by the Zacky V. Yes i know theyve had multiple rhythm guitarists but i always remember the original members.

[guitarstud47]

@thenextsynyster couldn't agree more (coming from a lead guitarist)

[acdcswimmer]

i would kill for syns guitar (not him) if he said i could have it if i went and killed somebody i would do it

[Liebecks]

@acdcswimmer thats pathetic

[sdevon90]

God, the frkn mic sensitivty is sooooo low, is driving me fukn crazy

[Tubekid200]

yes jimmy!

[morbidduckie95]

James Hetfield FTW!

[TheNextSynyster]

all you lead guitarists and music listeners out there, listen to what Zack is saying! you wouldn't believe how important rhythm guitarists are, same with bass, when you don't have a rhythm or bass guitar, soloing is just annoying, because there's no actual sound backin the lead, rhythm keeps the lead on time, plus keeps the key signature in tact, if you don't know what that means, it's the sound to the song, that's really all i can say for that, really hard to explain a key sig with comments...

[halo2846x]

@TheNextSynyster might be. but in order its a lot harder than play lead guitar and even more difficult to creat riffs and solos.

[TheBeatlesCom]

@TheNextSynyster Theory and music reading is also important, but for guitar, though I read music, theory is more important.

[danielxdglaciuus]

@TheNextSynyster yeah dude that's right rhythm same as bass are 2 Fking important things

[GTAPanos]

@TheNextSynyster Finally, a man that understands the significance of rhythm and bass guitar.

[jakerz96able]

@TheNextSynyster SO THAT'S WHY SOLO WRITING IS SO HARD TO ME!

[masterww3ww3]

@TheNextSynyster

for example.. trashed and scattered (;

[Mychemikalero]

Zacky really Looks like frank iero,talk similar,are rhythm guitarist o_O!,same age,i'm scare(? haahaha

[firecode66]

Avenged Sevenfold is my favorite band, and i play guitar, so listening at them, to their advices, is like......D:

[matiashudson]

mmmmmm creeeo k hablo de guns y salsh...wuuu

[MayPaz14]

so... you know

[MVengeance133]

@njones1091 Yeah but if you listen to the song one after another you hear that they are very similar.

[njones1091]

@ErraticGuitar62 I think they take a lot of inspiration from a7x and I enjoy listening to them because of that. I don't think any band that wants even an ounce of respect will purposely copy a riff or solo section.

[thaleskazekage]

syn gates e xacky v..s all fuck all god os rock metal

[JakeBolt90]

Its simple people, Zacky is a better Rythm guitarist, Syn is a better Lead guitarist, you people that argue about this shit probably dont even play guitar. Go back to playing guitar hero.

[GregorySpikeMD]

@JakeBolt90 lol such a good comment :D especially the ending :p

[FIB3R0PTIK5]

I was watching this, and then unforgiven came on the radio o_0

[MrPodecre]

i honestly prefer zack over syn

[matythesyk4ryo]

You Know :DDDD

[InsaneaTann]

Syn is on of the most talented lead guitarists around, and Zacky is one of the most talented rythem guitarists around, and they're amazing live.

[NickGuitarMalfara13]

guitar world neeed a new syn and zv vid.

[TagsExtreme]

Seems like their favourite word is, you know.. xD

[Dkamiab]

zack is much better for advice he would be the best teacher

[justateenageboy]

notice from 1:40 to 1:46 the 1999 sticker on Syn's guitar looks like 666.. O.o

[Kickass10114]

@justateenageboy well, it does say 6661, dumbshit

[livingunderaword]

@justateenageboy it says 6661 as in the devil won

[delgado4eva]

@livingunderaword 6661 is 1999 upside down signifying the year that avenged sevenfold was created, but yes there is a demonic connotation with the number 666

[ScreamAimFire111]

@livingunderaword no retard its 1999.

[Clicheboards4ever]

@ScreamAimFire111 no retard it´s both because on shecter homepage his guitar is called Zacky Vengeance 6661 . and tthey know the name of his guitar because they designed it. so maybe it´s just 6661 or 6661 and 1999.

[ACOUSBand]

@ScreamAimFire111 actually zacky has made a comment on the 6661 thing yes the 1999 thing is true but he finds it funny/cool how it sounds like the devil won

[ScreamAimFire111]

Respond to this video...no retard its 1999 when the started the band. They arent devil worshipers ya know

[sully1429]

@justateenageboy that zacky not syn

[holtzpackerfan]

@justateenageboy Idiot! That's Zacky's guitar, and that's the point! It's not called the "6661" guitar for nothing! It's also 1999 backwards, which was the year the band started, like most the comments on this awesome video have said!

[dustyandlevon]

The guitar playing begins at 3:55

[TheBrutalSGWarrior]

9:46 and im gonna add to whwt u aid uhh acouple of things ago...

[Narwhals27]

To those of you who think Zacky isn't "anything special", he learned how to play guitar by listening to other artists and playing by ear. Also, he took a right hand guitar and learned to play it by turning it upside-down. He's just as good as Syn. Also, his hair is just as awesome as Syn's. JUST SAYING.

[Kamehamehadoken]

@Narwhals27 But what abput his HAT, OOOHH YEAH I WENT THERE... I kid zacky v. Seriously though I want a Fedora.

[Narwhals27]

@Kamehamehadoken ahhhh i have a fedora. I feel like Syn when i wear it xD

[fredsassy5]

Do we have any Johnny Christ fans lol just kiddingxD

[oXistence]

@fredsassy5 i love Johnny! i love everyone of them :-)

I actually caught his pick on sunday at the concert here in norway ! and i also got Arin's used drimstick :-D

[dragythuno]

Zacky says "y'know" 33 times in this video. I still don't know.

[Dream9531]

Dont decide which guitarist is better. Be happy that such great guitarists are in the same band!

[jpv12597]

these guys r awesome.....enough said

[Stirfrygoblin]

4:08 way to plug your own song... jk I actually love that song

[SaiizDamon]

there are a lot parts syn wrote, that zack plays and a lot part that zack wrote and syn plays, like the high thingy part in scream. this slotmashine sound. zack wrote it, syn plays it. also jimmy wrote the afterlife solo, not syn. they are all talented, okay? everyone. matt, syn, zack, johnny and jimmy.

[guitarman856]

@SaiizDamon thank you for telling the truth

[1991ant1991]

@SaiizDamon i think syn wrote the afterlife solo, in the making vid he was saying about how the rev wanted something crazy.... if jimbo wrote it then fair play to him! that's sick stuff!

[SaiizDamon]

@1991ant1991 syn got the award for the solo, but rev took it home, cause he said it's his solo, so he have to own the award.so i'm pretty sure rev wrote it.

[1991ant1991]

@SaiizDamon sweet!!! YES JIMMY! :D

[roach851]

I like zacky's part in afterlife. It is high and yet interesting. But Syn is epic with solo's

[guitardude671]

Syn looks extremely bored

[soundslikedistortion]

Oh c'mon first everyone hates A7x and now were hting them ourselves by bitchen on talented lead guitarist's.... to be honest it should just be said like this " the best duo ever!"

[ScarredByTearsBand]

syns sitting there thinking "SHUT UP YOU STUPID RHYTHM GUITARIST!!!!" lol

[StatikPanda]

rock in peace rev

[Hadji2ndsystem]

Tropodo almost easy \m/

[marcusleonswadling]

Zacky sounds quite alot like Billie Joe Armstrong from Green day, and they both keep saying 'ya know' lol

[chin679]

lol zacky v sounds like he does not know what to say in it

[nur226]

why the FUCK do they keep saying you know...

[zezuntxiduntxi]

fanboys.

[adammellows]

Both guitarists are amazing XD but still i like how when he mentions the rhythm guitarist he doesn't mention name :P

but i love Syn more :P his solos are a little hard :P

[soundslikedistortion]

yeh, but there is no point in rhythm without a tasty solo ontop, you see you cant have one without the other.

[hat9458]

rhythm guitar and lead guitar, if a7x dont have syn,so that it's not avenged

if a7x dont have zacky so it's not a7x.

both them r awesome.

btw RIP the rev

[IIGAMEZIIFREAKII]

@hat9458 Shouldnt say RIP because a legend never dies!

[hat9458]

@IIGAMEZIIFREAKII (y) the rev isn't dead. He's teaching God how to play drums. :D

[NekoHitomi15]

ajajaja I love the "ya knows" of Zacky! >w<

[lokeynot]

I'm born both xD

[Binadance]

i cant play rhytmns. i suck at it. im much better in solos and a friend of mine is the opposite. so i think there are born solo guitarists and born rhytm guitarists. in my oppinion both are same important.

[frikeygee17]

Zacky: 31 Syn: 4 "ya know"'s haha every other word out of Zacky's mouth is "ya know"

[KILAA7x]

how desperate does jacky look to play his guitar :P

[xhellcat17x]

Thanks for the vid! I'm teaching myself to play, and watching both Syn and Zacky is great since I play ambi.

[Alizawrz]

The audio in this video is so annoying. D:

[MetalliHolic94]

I want Syn's hat.

[guitarnessageness]

it bugs me that i cant here them breathe in.

[mrmerino101]

Poor zacky in the beginning trying to justify his job

I'm joking, I'm inclined toward rhythm and we all still love him

[xXGlenMcCXx]

can i have your guitar synister :D plz

[sdevon90]

woah syn holds competly holds still half the vid!

[Liebecks]

I watch this video often to keep my motivation up! It's awesome!

[VIIZEROIIV]

1:52 and the funny thing is, yours is dead! :D

[seanannersrulez4l1f3]

@VIIZEROIIV dude thats not fucking funny

[VIIZEROIIV]

@seanannersrulez4l1f3 It really is...

[seanannersrulez4l1f3]

@VIIZEROIIV maybe for you asshole

[VIIZEROIIV]

@seanannersrulez4l1f3 Listen all you fags, Its clearly pissed you all off, get to fuck. You little pussies didn't know the guy why give a fuck if he's dead? Get a life dudes, It was a joke... Learn to take them...

[seanannersrulez4l1f3]

@VIIZEROIIV Even if we didn't know who he was it's still fucking sad when someone dies dipshit. When your making fun of someone being dead i don't care if you meant it or not dumbfuck you shouldn't of even said it because you know your gonna get a lot of shit for it dumbass

[amdinunzio1]

@VIIZEROIIV ok well when you have a family memeber die or a child die ill be sure to make a joke about it.

[pshhgay]

@VIIZEROIIV how the fuck is that funny. 

[730799999]

@VIIZEROIIV Ummm, what the fuck? Was that necessary? I think not. Not cool man. Not cool.

[AlexJSimps0n]

And that speech at the start of the video from Zacky is why he is my idle, and why I am a rhythm guitarist

[Gax701994]

@AkPwnsGames amen bro

[blevripidou100]

i just hope that 1 day i could be half as good as them :)

[immyimaginaryfriend]

[jykonrock]

5:14

"it wasnt unil me and him got together..."

zakky, i believe you mean "he and i"
