What about Wicked End and Sidewinder

[@bobbill2999]

FUN FACT OF THE DAY : THE ACOUSTIC SOLO IN "SIDEWINDER" IS PLAYED BY SYNESTERS DAD, HE ALSO PLAYS THE "TONIGHT THE WORLD DIES" SOLO AND THE ENDING SOLO TO "COMING HOME" XD

[@zvelocity5567]

Ive always pictured Zacky playing that part in sidewinder, I was obviously wrong it was papa gates

[@hansschroeder6400]

As far as Sidewinder, he actually only plays on the back-and-forth part near the end of the acoustic solo. The two separate parts you hear there are Synyster and his dad switching off, Syn plays the rest of the solo.

[@4444538]

And the first solo on angels, from their new album (i knew it wasn't out by the time you commented)

Danny Brady they all do a good bit of writing. if you watch all the "making of" videos from their self titled album syn says he "tries to get most of his solos written before they get in the studio". I could be wrong though.

[@nicbarnett4707]

who thinks this is sped up? I am and audio engineer this kid sped up nothing except some parts where he just played it too fast. Its not perfect and thats proof enough he can really play. Its not hard to fake music anymore sadly

[@illitero]

During the section that I like to call "note hell" (7:03-7:28), he's moving so fast that it looks like it's sped up, but if you watch his hair it moves the same way throughout the video. Besides, if it was sped up, then his playing would at least have been a hell of a lot cleaner through that part. I'm some random dude, and I verify this as *NOT SPED UP* Not to start shit, but the uploader played those solos a lot cleaner than Gates ever did live when this album came out haha

[@RyanDowney275]

Thank you so much man. It's a complete insult to guitarists like us to say that his videos are "sped up"

[@illitero]

Ryan Downey Absolutely no problem, dude. I don't listen to a7x much at all anymore, but I still have respect for what they've done and the skill they do have. Even if it seems that Gates bit off more than he could chew with solos for that album. Between concert videos and the Diamonds in The Rough DVD, he definitely struggled to play those solos consistently. But that album blew them up significantly, so I can understand and appreciate where he was at. I'm 29 and don't have the discipline to even try to play these things, so kudos to you for sure. Never stop playing!

[@chazzylicks488]

That album introduced me to the band. I was desperate to learn how to play guitar at that time, and it was when I saw your solo covers. Man, you have inspired me to start. I passed many fucking hours watching this and trying to play all those solos, and after 7 years, I came here to say that you are a legend. Thank u very much, and great respect from Brazil!
