Hey! Do you have any tips for the solo? I'm having trouble with the alternate picking... Anyway if you could make a video of tips I would really appreciate it! Thank you for your time.
Im just noticing that too many people on youtube are trying to exactly copy the unique way that Synyster gates plays his guitar e.g. the side plectrum hold and his pinky finger sticking out :D Anyway the solo was a good job mate :) Just need to practice on the sweep picking and then have perfected it my friend :D
@TommieSissons sorry to answer to this, since its meant for synyster1gates, but... yeah xD the pinky finger... it came to me naturally xD i tried to improve and play like most of people but couldnt.. then i noticed syn did it too. and i was like fuck yeah! why was i trying to improve it anyways?? xP
@Synyster1Gates Do you need any other equipment exept the amplifier to make the sound you have in this video? I mean like the sound a7x has or close to it :)
@TheFatGoat1 Only equipment i used to record the video was that amp, I put my iphone on top and recorded it thru voice memos app. Really cheap recording lol. I really need to upgrade. I google other peoples settings to match Synyster's. try it. hope that helps!
@TanqMuffin yeah i have an old line 6 pod but i cant install it, a buddy of mine let me borrow it but i like it so i'll look into the xt live. thanks for taking the time
@Synyster1Gates yeah i know i was about to say that but i forgot to add it i have a floyd rose guitar too and im just used to switching back and forth very fast
I hate A7X but damn you can play, just some constructive criticism however, you seem like such an amazing guitar player on your own why would you try to copy Syns picking hand formation??? Develop your own style don't copy someone else
@MartyFriedmanRulez66 I picked up the guitar at a young age and Syn was my favorite guitar player at the time. So i watched his lessons and performances a lot. I did go the longest time going back and forth between upward and downward picking and found upward was most comfortable for me. I sincerly appreciate the criticism and the compliments. Thank you a ton for taking the time!
@inCYDable i honestly dont remember but i used the metal channel and had echo with reverb. lowered the drive a tiny bit so it didnt sound super distorted
@JayGillisTV tabs? i just watch live performances and looked at some tabs on ultimate-guitar. i would compare them to the live performances to see if it matched up, if not i figured it out myself.
@tmblacktrack u caught me! lol. honestly for me its comfortable. although at times, i pick the common way as well. so im back and forth depending on the speed of the solo.
Faster tremolo picks and better sweeps. Also the timing in the video wasn't that great with the harmonies, but I'm pretty sure you played it right even if you couldn't really hear it.
alright, well those last few sweeps at the end are kinda wrong, and youtube is being homo and not letting my post a tab for them. basically tho, they are it's an Eaug 12th position sweep down and up and then a 13th position Faugmented sweep down and up. idk how else to explain it without actually showing you the tabbish bits
dude this is my second time watching this and i just have to say that is a really good cover. im tryinng to learn it rite now but the whole song and that solo is tricky
@zephyr0369 thanks for commenting again bro. but yeah trust me this solo isn't easy and my sweeps are messy but i know its cliche but the more u practice the more muscle memory builds up. it seems like your not getting better everyday doing the same thing but in time it does pay off.
Definitely not 99%. It's better than a lot of people can do though. The sweeps at the end sounded really off and there were some timing issues. Keep practicing. Try to get some better tone too.
@zephyr0369 hey man thanks for the comment, i love comments like these.. i checked out your intro, all you gotta do is tune your guitar other than that its good. keep it up.
This solo was sick as fuck but since I know you in real life why the fuck you practice this song without me, like for reals. But I gotta say it be good solo I can tell you doesn't afraid of anything
any video with a tabs?
