How to play ‘Exist’ by Avenged Sevenfold Guitar Solo Lesson (Intro Sweeps) w/tabs pt1

[@dajoler]

You're the rare breed of a great guitar player who's also a very patient teacher. No matter how tough a solo is, I always get the feeling that it's possible whenever you're teaching it. I have two requests actually: 1) A redo of the ridiculous solo from "Afterlife" 2) For you and your family to have a Happy Holiday season and a fantastic new year!

[@jamelgreaves6989]

TheGuitar Person Afterlife is nothing compared to this 😂

[@justinbowen1183]

Afterlife is honestly pretty simple, just take it a section at a time. It toon me a couple years to get it up to speed. Use that metronome and don't go fast with learning. Get the muscle memory for it and try to take it slow.

[@colmet979]

2:15 "If there is enough demand and you guys are angry enough" LMAO the way he says it so casually, just so used to being harrassed to learn everything at this point xD thanks for everything Chris, we appreciate you so much!!!

[@RogerBorges92]

Master you just fulfilled my dreams, for real i was having so much trouble learning this, but now that you are teaching i can get it right, you're always the best sir ( 1000 clap emojis) Edit: And of course how could I forget: MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your family, may God always bless ya

[@ronitravi8523]

Man!! I don't know the amount of time it took for you to transcribe and tabbed out everything. Thank you for your hard work and have nice day

[@antguy314]

Wow I never noticed how fast and technical that was (syn is crazy) sadly don’t have time to learn right now but will definitely start on that soon to help get my sweeping chops up awesome as always

[@mikepshena]

Syn is aight

[@TheBurnoutTV]

I'm a bit late to the party but THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for this video. You helped me so much with it. I never would've thought that I'll be playing this riff this fast already. You break it down into very easy understandable steps. Without you, I'm not sure if I would've learned this. I really had trouble following tabs for some reason. Now I'm practising this at 90% speed to 100% to a metronome after some runs. Keep the amazing work up!

[@GuyBlue78]

I replayed this cover a million times in just under 5 mins... SO FUCKING GOOD

[@chrizzlerguitaroni]

Unbelieveable work Chris, thank you!

[@driabderp7690]

Chris, you are an absolute madman and I love it!

[@Fearskill]

Damn good job on that solo! I remember struggling so much learning that weird intro

[@riverboulay1488]

Thank you so much for the awesome tutorial! Please make a pt2 with the higher harmony I love the harmony riffs in A7X songs! Happy holidays!

Happy New year! The higher harmony would be amazing of you could do a lesson on this too:D

[@seekqa3881]

Helloooooo!!!! I love learning from you!

[@musicguy8912]

I love your lessons they are the most accurate out of anyone on the internet could you do or have you done the solo to free bird I learned it from a different channel and some parts are correct but others there is something off it would be great if you did a lesson. Also I'm jealous of this I'm bad and can't sweep pick😓

[@nathanmillevo]

Merry Christmas Chris!! I was wondering if you can do Technical Difficulties next? Thanksss Merry Christmas!!!

[@santinhoww]

Wow I love this song, thanks!!

[@gabec537]

If you get the chance to do the higher harmony that would be great Chris, thanks for the awesome tutorial man

Merry CHRIStmas dude

Merry Christmas

[@valenciaojedamario3052]

I see you're working more in your thumbnails, btw great work as always!

[@derekness1987]

Any tips for maintaining relaxed hands and arms? I always seem to build up unneeded and unwanted tension when trying to play fast! And advice would be greatly appreciated (:

[@Thomas-cw9ej]

Hey Chris, question. Why reach for the 15 with the pinky instead of barring with 1st finger on 10? Same with the run starting 16-11 instead of 16 on 2nd and 15th on 3rd? Is there an advantage to the long stretch ? Thanks and awesome vids. Cheers

[@seven7asable]

Damn nice, Man!

[@alexcontreras8479]

what happened with the part 2 chris!! :'(

[@michaelmoscatel4338]

You are a good guitarist and good teacher

Perfect as always, thanks much! I feel like this song doesnt get the attention it deserves in general

[@phil4244]

It would be cool to learn that clean part from you when Matt starts singing.

[@samsmolkovich4809]

Can you do the Rock Bottom solo by UFO?

[@AchillesWrath1]

I love this type of classical guitar play mixed with rock n roll. Rhodes was really good at it also.

[@cyansaint]

Him and gates are my favorite . I love the classical roots between the two. You can hear that and some jazz in between

[@Robert96902]

Sweet!

[@canser6724]

Yessss

[@SynSpiderz]

Well, there's an exercise and a half to practice sweep picking with. Thanks Zoupa. Hope you and yours had a wonderful Christmas Also do you ever think gates thinks about having to play his own music live? Some of it is crazy. (insert crazy/angry higher harmony comment here)

[@rhaast3162]

Chris do you have an ETA on Sea of Lies? Thanks for everything, you're the man.

[@alexunderj2]

pt 2, pleaseeeee !!!!!!!

[@stefanristic8180]

Hi Chris, merry christmas to you too! I was wondering if you could do solo from Date Rape from Sublime. It would mean a ton. You allredy taught me a ton of solos. Salutations!!

[@TheDa7xz]

Heretic by a7x please

[@FallNorth]

Was just listening to this and thinking this sounds like sweep picking and would be a great practice for that, and some kind person might have created a video on it. And yay, the interneteth provide... eth! Funny how sweep picking is so distinctive. But it is.

[@fonzerrelli215]

Do solos with the doo plz

One day he will complete the other solos. I know it!

Chris nailed this as always but I kinda see what Marty Freedman is saying. Sweeps sound pretty boring and are generally not very musical sounding.

[@chriszoupa7898]

Marty Friedman is my god. I would never write music like this. It's character building

@@chriszoupa7898 marty is such an inspiration to me as a guitarist and a musician as are you. Thanks for taking time to teach us all how to be better players. Cheers.
