[@etczetra429]

Thank you!!!!!

[@TheTonyborbony]

I still think it's amazing how you manage to remember not only how to play these solos but also manage to explain how to play them the way you do.

[@chriszoupa7898]

+TheTonyborbony Well... I try!

[@Xkinggabe]

+Chris Zoupa (Learn That Solo) much love from a long time subscriber Chris! Thank out for helping me out over all these years. Wouldn't be playing the same without you! Much love brotha.

[@thereverend7794]

Chris Zoupa om having a hard time understanding it all I got the first part down I had kinda figured it out but from the 17th to 13th and all that doesn't make sense

[@thegeektarist6239]

The Reverend listen to the song by setting the playback speed real slow. You'll understand it then :)

[@jamiep4674]

I can't stop laughing at the GnR poster behind Chris looking like ears 😔

[@amirrulakmal]

Brandon Grayson lol

[@leonvoltf]

Same, lol XD

[@andrewo.g.803]

Thank you for redoing this solo. Your intro examples always sound good and your transcriptions are as accurate as they come. But you really played the shit out of this one. Beautiful

[@nolromz]

Thank you very much sir! Much easier to learn from than the older "low-def" version.

[@Nickball97]

The Sun must do some pretty amazing solos to be mentioned un Chris' description of The video

[@chriszoupa7898]

+Nicolas Arango I suck :(

[@schnitzel438]

+Chris Zoupa (Learn That Solo) Same :(

[@kellanmeeker]

+Hearty Oatmeal I love oatmeal

[@schnitzel438]

J Kellan ❤❤

[@taylormatthews7488]

Whenever I want to learn a solo I always come to check if you have a video on whatever song it is I’m learning first because you’re one of the best teachers out here on KZbin and you know what you’re doing. Thank you for every bit of time you put into making these videos you’re amazing

[@wilfredhadone6435]

I really really appreciate all of your videos, Chris. You've really taught me to be a better guitarist and you do a lot of amazing songs that I've never heard of but I still learned because they sound amazing! Thank you for taking the time to do all these. You're fucking awesome!

[@paulallenscard8553]

My favorite part of the solo are those cool harmonized runs at the end. Sounds kinda like rain to me :)

[@ImxSyn]

+Silas Sell thats exactly how i think it sounds too. now i know im not crazy

[@chriszoupa7898]

+Silas Sell Perfect description of chromatics haha!

[@williamstokely9589]

I have learned more from watching your videos in 2 months than in my 14 years playing guitar.. thank you for taking the time to explain everything you're doing.

[@lenoretheshredder]

This lesson is even better than the first, and that one was really good. Thanks for this! :)

[@clydecassano9074]

hey dude, thank you for taking time to do this. I've used a few of for videos to learn stuff. when you go back through each section slowly with tabs, would you please use a metronome so we have a better understanding of where the beats fall? it would help guys like me a lot, you know, the guys that are pretty terrible at guitar (even though we've played obsessively for almost 20 years)

[@Tubarillo]

Awesome job! I’ve been wanting to learn this lead since I first saw them play live in 2006.

[@RahulRajkhowarrr]

Thank you Chris ! A lot of respect from India. You are a very patient teacher and your lessons are lovely to follow ! You’ve helped me become a better guitarist ! And I intend on learning a lot more through your videos this quarantine season. Hope you are doing well healthwise! Take care.

[@TKD187]

For me I thought the end was going to be the hardest part and it ended up being the easiest. By just watching zacky vengeance and synyster Gates play this I was blown away but now I know what they're doing it's not as impressive, which is good for me cuz now I can play it 🤘🏻... It really makes me not be that guy that says no I can't play that cuz I can't tell you how many times I've said that and then I learned the song .

[@BlinkplusAvA44]

This was the first hard solo I tried to learn! It would be really cool that you make a lesson for "Aviator" by Polyphia Last solo is crazy! Keep up the good work!

[@brian17xd]

I'm glad you re did this lesson! Thanks a lot! I know you're full of request but The Spirit Carries On - Dream Theater is my favorite solo ever and it would be amazing to learn it from you

[@majorwasabi]

"Sun's amazing solo from Beast and the Harlot" Haha great video once again!

[@realmz]

City of Evil really made it up for their solo-less first albums. Good solo and nice playing. Thank you :)

[@joshl1350]

What are you talking about? The album before city of evil had great solos.

[@cru2006]

Waking the Fallen had a bunch of great solos though- the best ones being the one on Chapter Four and the one on I Won't See You Tonight Part 2.

[@anselmo7641]

Hello Chris! I just wanted to say that thanks to your videos I have progressed in my discipline when playing the guitar, thanks for being a genius to teach for the community. I hope you keep uploading videos of Avenged Sevenfold! Haha, Greetings from Argentina

[@audlaznagaming]

such a beautiful tone, great solo!

[@shiromikoo]

Woow very fantastic Mr. Chris Zoupa!! i'm from indonesia and i've seen lot of your videos, especially about avenged sevenfold's songs. I'm lovin it! it's very helpful for me to learn that solo. Thank you very much sir for the lessons ;) keep be a great guitar teacher👍

[@MetalBuffalos]

thanks sir, you made this solo ridiculously easy to learn. I appreciate it a lot

[@MetalBuffalos]

btw I can play it full speed now :D Took a few weeks especially trying to learn those descending chromatic licks, but i got it now

[@ktulus4551]

Idk if I've said this on another video, but I'm so stoked I found your channel. Words can hardly express. You have become my virtual guitar teacher. Much love, Mr. Zuopa! \m/

[@NuradinPridon]

Hey Chris, want a challenge? Try to break down Buckethead's "Jordan"

[@danielbardos2996]

lol infant annihilator

[@JoshuaPowellMusic]

this is brilliant mate, thanks. perfect way to break it down.

[@carlo505]

Yes it all makes sense. You rock thank you for your work

[@greenandblue3809]

I can't play this solo. but I love to see you play it.. so perfect and energetic! may be someday i will be able to play it too

[@hemorrhoids4022]

it's a pretty easy solo, don't see why you can't if you put your mind to it

[@greenandblue3809]

Jackson Blevins my mind and soul and passion, all wants to learn that solo but I cant do the speedy parts! I have a terrible problem or in other words, a very bad habit that I cant overcome. I have been playing for 3 years now but only recently I noticed that the reason I cant get speedy is because I only move my thumb when I pick.. wrist just stays straight. I'm trying to change that.. but cant get the idea right. and obviously you cant play much faster with your thumb only. it has its limitation so there it is. my big depressing answer hehe XD

[@hemorrhoids4022]

Lol,I'm not trying to be a know it all but try out different techniques see what help, practice in a clean tone and gradually add distortion, also, if you want, palm mute the fast scale part (lightly) and see if that helps

[@greenandblue3809]

Jackson Blevins hehe yes I am trying diferent things. lets see what works for me.. anyway , thank you :D

[@hemorrhoids4022]

+Green & Blue np

[@lucasschmidt8754]

[@gregtheflyingwhale]

idk your version of part 3 is simplified compared to what i found in other tabs

[@jablankinaokotina4488]

Be quiet and play the simplified version 😂

[@J.o.s.h.9.5]

If you watch Sinister Gate's studio breakdown of beast in the harlot, even he says that part 3 was too hard for him, he literally sound bit it the whole way bar to bar, and plays a simplified version live ;)

[@neiljones8322]

Great stuff Chris, any chance of some classic Priest? Beyond The Realms Of Death??

[@malific4540]

Please do nobody by avenged sevenfold

Man I wish Syn and Zacky would put out the real tabs to all their music!

[@cameronfarrellguitar]

Ya same! But I know for a fact this is the exact way Syn plays this solo!

[@NiceDayIncMusic]

There are official tab books from waking the fallen to all the studio albums

[@nathanninja2]

+Cameron Farrell this guy did a great job and it's right for the most part, but some notes are wrong for sure, I know that for a fact.

[@sukamagouche]
