Synyster Gates - Harmonization (Guitar Lesson)

[@mancinella823]

I can't even get a tune out of a flute, but I can watch this video for hours with a smile on my face, as if I understood a shit 😂

[@katielynn8700]

Amabilis Insania me too! You're not alone... Just looking at him and hearing his voice makes my day. 😍

[@guitarbattleslive1274]

there's no point in asking syn any questions here, it is not his channel. the guy who runs the channel won a free lesson with syn and that's where the "subscribe to a7xentertainment" clip is from as well as this harmony lesson:)

[@A7XEntertainment]

That's right! How come you don't subscribe to me :(

[@guitarbattleslive1274]

i just did

[@nuke2625]

guitar battles live how can he name the channel "a7x entertainment" and have the balls to ask him to make people subscribe to it.

[@MaueTime]

nuclear kid well it still is Avenged Content even tho its a 3rd party 🤘

[@nw8084]

How did he win a free lesson? That's what I wanna know 😂

[@calebengland77]

"Let me tune my f***ing guitar" XD

[@TheSamuraiApocalypse]

I've always loved how he writes harmonies. I could tell how meticulous he is about them just by trying to learn them. It's definitely not as easy as other guitarists make it.

[@c4d135]

I don’t even play guitar and have no idea what he’s talking about but I’m loving it

[@terrillt1998]

It’s mostly music theory stuff lol

[@TheSamuraiApocalypse]

If you tried picking out these harmonies by ear you'd start to see how meticulously crafted they feel. I play guitar but I know very little about music theory. Just being vaguely familiar with some of those terms is good enough for me. The only reason they're familiar is because I've been watching guitar tutorials for 7 years. No need for expensive classes.

[@subutaynoyan5372]

Most licks are constructed by some scales and theoretical structures. A section that is crowded by a ton of notes are usually based on a few main notes, the rest are various fills and scales to create a certain feel. Like when a jazz band is jamming, they usually know only the basic scales of the thing will initially start from, the rest gets improvised based upon harmonical theories. Music is like math, there are certain formulas, principles and rules you need to comprehend and engage in your playing to get it right.

[@ThatOtherRaccoon]

Basically if the tune is in A Major let's say. Then: "A B C D E F G" what they play "D E F G A B C" what you play It's partly based on the scale, the third note from the root, and a whole lot of theory. This is a ROUGH explanation of what he's doing.

[@ExternusArmy]

What he is referring to about avoiding 4ths and 5ths is a concept in music theory called Consecutive 4ths and Consecutive 5ths. This was forbidden by musicians for the same reason he was talking about here. It’s obvious he went to school for music and knows his stuff.

[@americanmetalhead7318]

gaylord you dont need to go to school to learn theory. It’s all over the internet if you just look it up.

All of that flew past my brain but it somehow helps so much, having it in the back of my head

[@tinttori2067]

Syn u rock 🤘🤘 my dream is to be on drums with you all some day cuz ur total badasses (and Brooks is my inspiration) .. im 16 and been playing for 9 years and play Sevenfold every day 😂🤘

[@bucketheadjr4700]

tinttori what about Jimmy? How isn't he a inspiration?

[@tinttori2067]

Yeah well the rev is my inspiration too (and i am a fan)... i love his drumming and his style... he is really the kind of drummer the world still needs... but respect for Jimmy and Rest In Peace knifemaster 🤘

[@bucketheadjr4700]

tinttori He was easily the best drummer ever.

[@tinttori2067]

And for the record The Rev was the reason i first started listening to this band but i mean that Brooks does a really admirable job on the drums nowadays.. his style really fits the band

[@Anggi_Dogy]

tinttori hji

[@terrillt1998]

Very interesting because I always wondered if there can be better harmony than 4ths or 5ths... now I can experiment with 3rds instead... thank you 🤘🏽

Hello,nice to see

[@dwisadega]

I like your playing guitar

[@jamesbaxter2411]

awesome

[@drewfox1582]

Before the stage you guys released a video with a sneak peek of some songs on the album. One of those songs was funky as fuck and I was pumped to hear it but it ended up not being on the album or the later released songs? Where can I find the full version of this song? Or will it be on a future album?

[@markvngnz_894]

Drew Fox sadly that’s all there was too it, shadows confirmed that there never was a song it was just a funk jam session

[@cjleongson]

thanks syn i get what your trying to say.. no parallel harmonies

[@xPBKM4x]

I find myself almost always going a 3rd lower. Just following the scale.

[@marcusd6759]

No idea what the fuck he was talking about when it came to notes but somehow still got what he meant

[@dclong693]

How hard is it relearning the old tunes from the earlier work? I go back ten years and don't even remember writing the damn thing

[@ajalonzo2705]

It's humbling to watch one of the best guitar players fuck up just figuring out where the thirds, fourths, fifths etc are. It lets guys like me who are nowhere near as good understand that even the best don't know every little thing and we all had to start and relearn along the way

[@duboismatthieu8283]

[@itachiuchiha1375]

What I learned was harmonizing with 4ths and 5ths get boring. And in his artistic mind he still likes it at random and I believe I may be wrong but prefers minor 3rds major 6ths. And that he can't tune that shit right now

[@eliezer.elvira]

Is there a way that we can play what we hear in our head? I have crazy ideas but i just cant seem to know where it is on the guitar :,(

[@DukeHoz]

You need more practice and know your fret better, tuning is pretty important too, also don't think with your mind, pick your guitar and mess around until something comes out

[@eliezer.elvira]

KevinHM thanks for the tip dude!!! Really appreciate it :)

[@harold3345]

Search one note at a time until you have all of them. May take a while but if you practice it you will get better and faster

[@MrMassmahem]

Start with the first note/chord and sing it continuously and play different notes on the guitar until one matches. Once you’ve found it move to the second one. I Don’t know if this is the “correct way” but that’s how I do it. Another good thing I do is record myself singing the note and listen to that

[@nikolairodriguez5147]

What kind of chair is Syn sitting on? Anyone knows? My back hurts a lot from sitting on a bad chair and playing guitar :/
