This solo grew on me. At first I considered it a compilation of random melodies, kind of progressive melodic metal, like protest the hero. But he certainly mashes up a great set of riffs.

[@KimboRamboFin]

I was a keyboard player for about 3 years, a drummer for about 4 years and currently I'm a guitarist (I've played a bit over 4 years now), even though I'm not even 18 years old yet. Music is the most important thing in my life. I can easily spend 8 hours straight doing nothing else but listen to music and eat. I recognize a good solo, and this isn't one. Gary Moore - Empty Rooms live 1987 Stockholm, if you want to hear a good solo.

[@ChandlorP]

[@unkrazy2782]

This solo is the face of avenged sevenfold

[@MetalMakesMeEargasm]

2:25 that part is some of the fastest and cleanest playing ever. The whole solo is amazing though. Syn is not just a "typical metalcore emo wannabe" he is a genuine metal guitar player. Many people don't know this but Rex Brown of Pantera attended one of their shows and said to them "Your waving the flag now" and Metallica: "We are proud to call Avenged Sevenfold great friends of Metallica" right before Lars fucking Ulrich introduced them at Orion. FUCK the whiners. A7X is quality metal.

[@jessepander1855]

Well fucking said!

[@jasonfrancis3264]

''fastest and cleanest playing ever''?!?!? AHAHAHAHAHAHA Yes it's good but you live under a rock if you believe that

[@l3ngl130]

He's actually a trained jazz guitarist so he rly knows some good stuff

[@OpticHamster69]

​@@jasonfrancis3264 "some of the fastest and cleanest playing" learn how to read 😂

[@JahGuarrr]

I was today years old when I learned he played this solo in honor of Dimebag. I’m assuming at least because this has a lot of Dime’s solos in it. Been watching this for over a decade too, pretty sure this is the original video I used to watch over and over. In fact I learned the intro on guitar (very easy) then it got to the solo and I was too overwhelmed.

[@dotdot6337]

Was this like inspiration for like Hail to the King and Shepherd of Fire I would believe

[@corvidox]

I wish HTTK was this good xD

[@Mr_Uni]

I believe it’s inspired by Eruption from Van Halen.

[@harveydjent_]

I might as well give up I'm never gonna play guitar this good fuck! xD

[@Drawcandy]

If you learn a few scales and play them fast enough, you'll be able to play this well in under two weeks.

[@TheToecutter79]

Drawcandy I felt the same way, sounds as appealing as kerry king's leads

[@harveydjent_]

I've been playing guitar for about four years at this point and I've been trying to sweep since I first started playing solos and I still can't do it. For me it's not that easy, and that's why I find this particular Gates solo rather difficult.

[@mynameisjosh9318]

Drawcandy I learned that in 2 minutes

[@samarhello]

***** Nope. Not true. If a song is one note dragged for 1 minute I can learn it one second. If you're a really good guitarist, you COULD probably learn this in around 2 minutes. But you'd have to be Steve Vai good.

Liebe Freunde der Nacht, also musikalisch gesehen ist dieses "Solo" sicherlich eher drittklassig und ich bin froh, daß das einige seiner Fans hier genauso sehen und objektiv sind. Das sagt natürlich nichts über Bühnenpräsenz und Stimmung aus - ganz klar. Aber Vergleiche mit den "ganz Großen" (ich nenne hier jetzt bewußt keine Namen, so heißt es gleich "hey und was ist mit XYZ, usw.") sind sicherlich fehlangebracht.

[@louisporter4943]

Pretty overrated. Could name 10 better live solos. Respect their success though

[@showerstimescartoon]

Louis Porter But you have to admit Brian is the best guitarist after 2000. I'm sorry that's the truth.

[@louisporter4943]

i cant agree on that, as there are guitarist like- Miles dimitri baker and lucas man from rings of saturn. i dont wanna list 100 different guitarists. but those 2 alone would rip synester to shreds.

[@briankangguitar]

Louis Porter I love Rings and Lucas Mann, but tbh the style they play and image they will never be commercially successful and as a result of that, will never have the reach Synyster Gates has. Synyster def inspired so many kids to pickup the guitar and start playing. Clearly on average more kids want to learn Avenged licks, and most likely will never hear about Yngview or Vai until they get deeper into guitar. He is def a modern day guitar hero which our generation and the next desperately need considering the steep decline rock and metal music have in the mainstream.

[@Itachi951000]

Now I understand why "real" metalheads talk shit about A7X on metal forums when people say that they're the best metal band... I'd never listened to them before (I don't really like metalcore)... That's the 8th Synyster's live guitar solo I've watched and I've also listened to many of A7X songs today (Afterlife, the beast and the harlot, etc)... He's a good guitarist, I can't deny it, and A7X is an ok band, but Syn is definitely not the best... There are many guitarists better than him (Paul Gilbert, Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, etc)... Sorry but the guy is as overrated as the band!

[@seeker9709]

Though I disagree that they are overrated, I can see where you come from saying others are better. This solo is cool, but not NEARLY as good as some of his other playing like the Afterlife solo. The Eddy Van Halen solo is absolutely fantastic and completely blows this one out of the water and Paul Gilbert is awsome too.

[@LowdenFTW]

No, he's the best guitar player of this generation. Nobody can touch him. His talent is so raw and pure, and nobody can play the way he does, in the entire world.

[@Itachi951000]

devin lowden The best of this generation? LOL I can't say that he sucks... that would be stupid! He is a pretty good guitarist and he got his own playing style BUT saying nobody can touch him shows little you know about guitar playing! You clearly never listen to Alexi Laiho (Children of Bodom), Jeff Loomis (Nevermore) or Chris Broderick (Megadeth).... and that was just to talk about few guitar players of the same age bracket as him! I don't even want to talk about Dave Mustaine, John Petrucci and the others badass guitarists better than him! This is my opinion though... If he is the best for you, fine! You got your opinions and I got mine!

[@LowdenFTW]

I know who they all are. I'm not a idiot. And I know plenty about guitar, enough to know that he is the best of the best.

[@juandelarosa5455]

Itachi951000 yo he escuchado a petrucci , alexi , dave mustaine y a broderick pero synyster gates es el mejor Es talento puro , es un genio los anteriores desarrollaron la técnica y la velocidad con los años pero syn nació con un don y por eso hace los mejores solos del mundo syn es insuperable y es el mejor de esta generación

[@Treasoner13]

Playing fast everytime doesn't make you a GOD musician, taking out creativity outta it at that level makes you.

[@dylanremm1564]

Still the coolest guitar solo imo 13 years later

[@dexsullivan]

@cjms1997 I agree. But you gotta think, he wrote this solo for a concert, not a guitar clinic. It's meant to be catchy and flashy, not technical.

[@LesPaulMaster17]

Look, Mr. Gates here isn't my favorite guitarist...but I'm not going to sit here and talk bad about him and stuff. The truth is, he and I are a lot a like. Why? Because he loves the guitar, and I love the guitar, he loves rock 'n roll, and I love rock 'n roll, his type of rock came from the blues (it all did), and I play the blues, but most of all--he and I BOTH love this thing, that we all are in this for, called MUSIC. True musicians don't put each other down. Rock on, buddy!

[@TheRealVeigar]

honestly if you want something pretty close, get Invader Pickups and if you want to sound almost spot on, do invader pickups with a sustaniac sustainer. My current setup is Black and White Schecter Syn Custom w/ Invader pickups and a sustaniac sustainer, 24 jumbo fret. I use both a Line 6 DT25 (Bogner tubes). And i am going to be ordering Syn's Hellwin Amp very soon. Hope this helps

[@johanvidner]

What Im saying is that you dont need to know EVERYTHING about music, composing, specs of instruments and so on, to be a good musician. As long as you make noise that sound good, youve won my vote

[@ZombieLette721]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SYN!!!!!!

[@alexweaver3929]

I can't stop watching this.

[@bcuzofonna]

Mmmm synyster gates!!! He's a true inspiration :) so awesome!!!

[@smokingblaster1]

So for all who hate on him, or say he has no skills. Let me ask you a great question; did anyone of you got asked to play in Germany in front of thousands upon thousands of peoples? Didn't think so, so stfu. He is talented and creative. I respect syn and A7X.

[@tjk21504]

a solo is meant to entertain, and that's just what he did. he had the crowd going, with the help of the late jimmy sullivan. he can hammer out riffs and thats what counts on an album

[@markerbetch360]

@NateZebraManDingoC Seriously, you can't deny that Yngwie puts passion into his guitar work, and by no means is he just "flailing his fingers." I don't expect these guitarist to have a larger fanbase than Synyster, but they do have an audience with more substance who actually know what real talent is.

[@overjoyedleaf]

They explained this once, he isn't palying to show his skill, he knows he can play well, this is to put on a show for the fans, and they seem to be liking it.

Oh synyster, you never seem to disapoint :,)

[@gocuselax]

If you don't think Syn has enough soul in his solos, check out the Seize The Day solo, the second So Far Away solo, or even Warmness on the Soul.

[@Alacard0malley]

I picked up guitar 13 years ago after I watched this video.

[@Ravenhaust]

If people don't think he is anything special then so be it. To some kids eyes he is an idol to look up to and that is good enough for me. Don't compare guitarist, they have their skills, techniques and styles of their own. Try comparing the legends side by side they all have different styles of playing so if you can't play any better don't compare. Peace.

Excellent quality video and sound. Thank you. I need two cigarettes now because I feel like I had multiple eargasm s.

[@FlyiNgMonK3z5191]

i have a line 6, i just turn the bass and treble up all the way and turn the mids right down, and that gives a standard heavy metal sound, syn uses a fairly bog standard sound but he makes it sound cool, and for rhythms use the bridge and solos use the neck and you will get a sound similar to his (ps he somethimes uses a wah pedal so to really nail his sounds on a few songs e.g. nigntmare you can use a wah pedal) i hoped this helped :)

[@blueteletum6811]

[@hassounnour]

I never said synyster tops page,of course he doesnt very few actually do.But you cant say he needs more practice and lessons since hes really talented!Page and syn play different genres you cant rlly compare them! Syn's solos are perfect for HIS genre.plus the lessons thing is for fans to meet him,he said before they went that hes not a good teacher,and he knows nothing about teaching,just about playing.You can't deny that both syn and page are amazing, much better than many guitarists out there

[@imammustofa06]

awesome solo , love it

[@SODTAOE]

How is he not a good guitarist ? He is great , his way of playing is so Fucking technical its crazy... it takes years and years to even wrap your head around the mode theories and for him to rip through them while Sweep picking. I dont know what you could ask for.

[@ReinaLight]

Happy Birthday,Synyster,you fucking epic guitarist.

[@fatalpeepee]

Everyone... That is biting on the solo.... It's improvised.... Also he is one of the best he is listed in the top 50 fastest guitarist of all time.... Look it up... Also if you don't think he's the best then that's ok cause it's just an opinion :) and he's really got a name for himself he signed a record deal at I think 20 and he's like barely in his 30's and listed as I think 37 in the top 50 so don't judge or hate :3

[@palmer2626]
