Avenged Sevenfold - Afterlife (Guitars Only)

[@felphero]

After hearing this I'm 100% sure Syn records at least all the harmonies by himself and Zacky just learns em later

[@newbeginning1510]

Zacks got a chill job as a guitarist haha

[@Clitches]

Ngl Zack is an amazing player if you listen to sounding the 7th trumpet it’s confirmed he did all the songs on the album himself besides the intro

[@AlexJasso100]

Love how you can hear the picking on the strings during the solo.

[@INV3L1D]

you hear it in the intro riff, at the beginning of the video

[@CollinsFTF]

Don't forget Zacky Vengeance as well it's not all Synyster gates

[@TheRokyt]

Jake Collins That is true. But for the ALBUMS, syn records ALL the guitar tracks. So essentially, you are just hearing syn play right now lol.

[@joelcoool]

+rokyt not STST though obviously

[@Marck6034]

bruno donizete how do u know zacky recorded these songs?

[@therev9501]

bruno donizete The Rev wrote brompton cocktail but that's your choice

[@donovanrobinson5811]

Absolutely I think zacky is just as equally important as syn, easily my favourite guitar duo of all time

[@residentskumfuk99]

the riff is so simple yet difficult to play. props for that

[@jakeriefke3268]

you talking bout the solo? cuz the riff is not hard to play at all

[@residentskumfuk99]

Im learning it off rocksmith which is a diffrent way if im not mistaken plus i have short fingers so yea haja

[@jakeriefke3268]

+bryan garcia well yeah and it depends how long youve played but yeah its hella fun to play. you should learn the solo if you ever want to it takes a while to get the sweep picking down but its shredderiffic

[@residentskumfuk99]

Yea im still learning picks (one year and a half of playing) but ill get the hang of it soon

[@jakeriefke3268]

+bryan garcia Nice man. rock on

[@hafizimanap3909]

the solo of this song is legendary.

[@msurff1]

This whole song is full of great guitar riffs and solos. A must learn for shredding. That sound is so good.

[@Shanksftw]

not a huge fan of A7X but damn, synyster gates is seriously shredding here

[@timofcent1]

I used to feel like him and the Rev were what made the band great. I've become a fan of all the guys in the band since then. (By the way, it's cool that you said "not a huge fan" instead of "God, A7X fucking sucks! Listen to some real music!", like what most people say)

[@roryh50]

i didnt think hail to the king was all that great but for a band that lost their best friend, it isnt the worst album either

[@chancebattenberg8400]

+gw2man35 I think tribute is the word your looking for.

[@chancebattenberg8400]

I guess either of those could work.

[@O.R.T.S]

mother of gods... I thought Afterlife was already enough to give you goosebump on how eargamic it was until I gave the "guitar only version" a listen.

[@somebodynobodymusic]

These guitars have some serious crunch to their sound! You don't realize when its all together, but wow!

Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen so unsure but it seems, 'cause we've been waiting for you Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway I see a distant light, but girl this can't be right Such a surreal place to see so how did this come to be Arrived too early And when I think of all the places I just don't belong I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far I don't belong here, we gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife 'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain Can leave this place but refrain, 'cause we've been waiting for you Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway This peace on earth's not right (with my back against the wall) No pain or sign of time (I'm much too young to fall) So out of place don't wanna stay, I feel wrong and that's my sign I've made up my mind Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife 'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you This place full of peace and light, and I'd hope you might take me back inside when the time is right Loved ones back home all crying 'cause they're already missing me I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be (I am unbroken; I'm choking on this ecstasy) Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me (Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live) I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife 'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you This place full of peace and light, and I'd hope you might take me back inside when the time is right

Syn recorded almost all tracks on the self titled album, I'm not sure about the rest though. Syn also writes a majority of it, Zacky not as much but they still have done both.

[@ThrowingItAway]

I've never seen zacky ever doing any recording... I've seen him watching syn do the recording and sitting beside him. Recording sometimes really fucks with your brain, maybe zacky doesn't do well in the recording situation so he lets syn do it and learns what syn plays.

nope i dont hear anything. either you're subconsciously substituting it in because you know what its *supposed* to sound like. or its the accenting on the rhythm guitar when syn and zack play harder on the beat
