I think avenged sevenfold is overhated. It's like that one meme: avenged sevenfold sounds awesome when someone ain't in your face tellin you its garbage or it's not metal

[@0oreaper135]

No reason to hate a7x, they're extremely talented and listening to them got me into the heavier metal genres

[@nuoxy]

Bro I grew up listening to bands like avenged sevenfold bullet for my Valentine and now I’m into many different genres of metal

He should do a cover of “Save Me” if he hasn’t done it yet. It may be an 11 minute song, but it’s an amazing song

I like to think that this song was where Portnoy tried to give the album a personal touch

Hey man! I "accidentally" accepted a gig for an Avenged Sevenfold tribute band for May and now I'm looking through your videos and learning them with your help and the tabs. Amazing. Couldn't be more grateful! Haha, thank you!

i always wondered why me playing never sounded exactly right, its cause every tab is completely different, your tab is the best ive heard since it sounds exact to the song, thank you for this, revived my love for nightmare, gonna learn this tab now and try to break old habits ! wish me luck

[@flamegamingx4717]

I love this tab, but this song is still extremely hard for me lol. I cannot seem to get that part right before the main chorus, it is very fast and I have been practicing it for weeks. Even on bass it is the same struggle...guess it will just come to me eventually idk.

[@TheWackyRigger]

@@flamegamingx4717 ive been playing since about 2012 and when i played yesterday i was trying to play a bunch of songs i used to know and it upset me because i kept messing up, i stopped playing like i used to and i almost lost my touch for guitar, its hard to learn stuff correctly and then also remember the muscle memory after a while of not playing, it honestly had me pretty upset cause i felt i was starting to suck at guitar lol but to a lot of other people im still pretty good at playing, and great at some songs, just the problems that come with guitars haha, I buy a really nice dream guitar and then play like shit cause i havent practiced constantly like i used to with my $100-$400 guitars, take it slow and learn it right is the only advice i have, normally i play youtube videos at like half the speed till i get the flow right, then 75 and then after a thousand retries then fullspeed, but then if i wait 2-3 weeks i forget how i played it lol

[@davidbriones2421]

That was awesome man. Ive loved rock and metal since I was 5 years old and I must say watching u jam and seeing how much you we feeling it made me so jealous cuz I wish I could play as good as you. I don't even play but I am very passionate with music. Which is probably why I'll be wearing hearing aids when I'm 50.

In a previous band, I had to learn this one on drums. Now I'm having to learn it on guitar. The way you have this laid out with the tab scrolling the bottom is simply impeccable. And the EB JP model is nice to look at as well ;-) Thank you!

[@electricwolf6669]

The chuggy part after the solo is absolutely my fav part to play

[@A_Little_Piece_Of_Music]

This is in top three of their best songs for sure! Awesome cover!!

This used to be my favorite song to play along to when it came out (and I still had the chops). Love hearing this take on it.

If you watch syn play it live, he does the 12-13-14 13-14-15 chromatic bit in a different position starting with the 17th fret d string, 4th finger so he can economy pick it. it's doable both ways, but if you're going for true to the way he plays it..
