Avenged Sevenfold Nobody SOLO LESSON

Here's a detailed lesson on how I approach the guitar solo to Avenged Sevenfold's Nobody!
This is after deconstructing the solo based on live performances in this video: • Avenged Sevenfold NOBO...
TAB v2: www.dropbox.com/s/qukleen3ivw...
From Avenged Sevenfold's song Nobody off of their 2023 release Life is But a Dream.

Thanks for watching! Play along with the tab here: www.dropbox.com/s/qukleen3ivwgnhb/Nobody_solo%20tab%20v2.gp?dl=0 Also check out the live performance analysis of the Nobody solo here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i52WgIVpf8l3gq8

I just started learning some gypsy jazz licks and it becomes apparent just how much Syn is using that genre in his recent solos, which is why they feel so weird to play. Those guitarists are legends

[@KarzGuitar]

Yep that's it! He's a massive fan of gypsy jazz and loves throwing it into his solos, especially from Hail to the King onwards.

Dude thank you so much man, this solo is one of my goals to get and this is going to help me

[@KarzGuitar]

Awesome dude, no worries! You got this 👍👍👍

[@misterkenova6695]

Awesome dude

[@KarzGuitar]

Cheers!

[@rokiroy-pq3wn]

Good man

[@und.battle]

You are really have teaching skill bro, I appreciated it 👏

[@KarzGuitar]

Thanks dude, that means a lot!

[@metalguitaridk]

Thank you! helped me a lot with learning this amazing solo. Solo of the decade for sure!!

[@KarzGuitar]

Absolutely, it's nuts! Thanks man!

[@TheRoyalSaiyan]

Nice work brother. I was in the process of learning it a different way but after seeing your last video and this one I think I'm going to be starting back from the beginning 😂

[@KarzGuitar]

Hahaha fair enough! Sorry :P if it helps convince you, I uploaded a break down of their live performance so I think this method is pretty close 😉

[@GabrielGanem]

Definitely a synyster way to do things. Great work, man!

[@KarzGuitar]

Cheers man!

[@denksnek3726]

Absolutely love the solo & your breakdown of it! Really helpful, think I’m starting to nail it. Slowly but surely lol. Would you be able to do the same with your cosmic solo video?

[@KarzGuitar]

Thanks man, all the best! Yep absolutely can do for Cosmic, actually working on it atm ;)

[@denksnek3726]

@@KarzGuitar Awesome man, you're doing great work :) have a great one!

[@hasahchan4775]

Why syn's playing hand looks soo economic, almost effortless

[@KarzGuitar]

He's a really good player, and he's well-versed in gypsy jazz which I believe utilises a lot of those economic picking movements

[@rahmanodll63]

Thank you bro, I'm having trouble with this solo, it's a challenge for me to learn this solo 😂

[@KarzGuitar]

all the best bro, yeah I think this solo is a challenge for everyone!

[@thejollyguitarist1785]

jolly thinks you did a good job well done

[@KarzGuitar]

thanks again jolly!

[@jogeherrera6144]

Cosmic please 😁

[@KarzGuitar]

Sure dude, I've done a lesson for it here :D kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHTRpX-gh85rsKc

[@Lnninpz]

This is guy is so fast that he can't play slow😮😅👏🏻

[@SynSpiderz]

Quick heads up I've tried downloading the tab but it isn't loading properly and saying there is an error loading it. otherwise thanks for another excellent tab

[@KarzGuitar]

Interesting, I know DropBox can't display tabs but there's no download option? In the centre of the screen, or if you're in the app, the dots on the top right > Save to Device? If not, try this other link to the tab from my top 10 video: www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/hqlx8e8s099qozmbg7mor/h?rlkey=bhudp8z40kp77r3ldxfbv9vzg&dl=0

[@SynSpiderz]

@@KarzGuitar Sorry i wasn't clear, it's the actual file that isn't opening on my computer. I've tried a few other files tonight (Lost and Second Heartbeat) and both were ok, just not the Nobody files, including the one you linked to

[@KarzGuitar]

@@SynSpiderz Sorry to hear that man :( I just downloaded it on a new PC and could open it with GP 7 and 8, so I've got no idea what the issue could be!

[@SynSpiderz]

@KarzGuitar must be the app I'm using to open it then as I'm using GuiarTab for it. If it is tabbed for a 7 string that might be the issue

[@KarzGuitar]

@SynSpiderz oh that could absolutely be it, didn't know that 7 strings could cause an issue. The full song is played using 7, so I kept the solo tab as 7 too but the low A isn't used at all. Check that second link again - I made a 6 string version for Nobody. Lemme know if it works!

[@EliudOnofre-pe3oz]

Where do i claim my free tabs ? Im gonna hope they are 200ug+

[@KarzGuitar]

Ha, no not that kind of tabs :P

[@yonkoblackbeard6455]

what tune is that?

[@KarzGuitar]

Whole song is on a 7 string in Drop A I believe, but the solo only needs standard tuning on a 6 string :)

[@gabriel.psycho]

I think the tuning is ADADGBE . It's a double Drop tuning in 6th and 7th string or something like this . Because the whole song is in D minor ( I think ) but the solo in C minor

[@KarzGuitar]

@gabrielpsycho4549 would make the 6th string notes very awkward + if you watch the live footage, he's playing the 6th string in E (I've got a vid of it slowed down)

[@formynsane]

Man you are playing in standard E, Avenged turning is Drop D. This helps you with the first passage.

[@KarzGuitar]

Not on this one my dude, this songs in Drop A on a seven string guitar. Syn plays the top 6 strings in standard. Check any live vid and that's how he starts the passage. Drop D would actually make the start of the second ascent muuuuch harder

[@formynsane]

​@@KarzGuitar I see he has a 7 strings guitar, but I can't figured out why....what's the reason... Anyway we are playing this live with a Drop D tuning (actually Drop Db for the singer voice) and I was able to translate the second passage around the 12th fret, using a G minor arpeggio in a shape of "C".

[@KarzGuitar]

Because the main riff (that big bend that starts the song) uses the lowest string- I'm guessing you're playing the same note one octave higher. His tone for the main riff is layered with octaves using the axefx which can make it confusing to work out at first! But yeah, whatever works for you is fine - understandable if you prefer a 6 string. This video is just trying to show how Syn plays it :)

[@formynsane]

@@KarzGuitar yes we are actually doing with two guitars, both on fractal, layered with a +12 pitch each, and a synth on the top (both). I'm playing the D on the 7 fret (A string) and he's dropped in C on the lower string, so he's playing the 2nd fret bending it up. Result is pretty accurate, if you have time take a look to our tribute page "Danger Line Tribute" 💪🏻
