And what's even more badass is that your videos are super high quality, include tabs, and free of charge! Can't say enough about how awesome you are.

[@teenixon]

Hi Chris, I'm a 52 year old accomplished guitarist who recently joined a classic rock cover band. I found you by looking for A7X Hail solo. You have saved me so much time man, Thanks ! What a kool service you provide here, for beginners and for the advanced players as well. Good stuff man, keep up the good work ! nice playing too....

[@leemcdaid6537]

Tom, a question.. how the hell is avenge7fold a "Classic Rock Band?

[@sssssanu]

@@leemcdaid6537 if you google avenged sevenfold and their achievements; you too shall realize

[@RockwithAbe]

So this is where IT all started . First lesson with tabs . Proud to have discoverd this

[@addisontolar5314]

I remember watching Chris when I first started playing a few years ago around 2017..I was still trying to figure out how the f*** to get a decent bend! Now, coming back in 2020, I've checked this solo off of my list and basically just use it to warm up! Practicing about an hour or so everyday will take you farther than you can imagine.

[@jonasc9694]

You are one of the best teachers on KZbin please keep doing what you do. The tabs are amazing please keep them!

[@torbriansurdal1179]

u have all the best lessons on youtube :D u deserve more views and subb. i guess it's hard work for u to learn all those solos and then show bit for bit and so on. i will just say thank you for all thoose lessons :)

[@chriszoupa7898]

Thanks man too kind *blushing and shit*

[@SilentGamer1108]

I normally hate learning solos because people normally go way too fast and I end up getting frustrated and I don’t learn the solos. I like how you break it down into different sections it helps me a lot. Thx so much for this I didn’t get frustrated at all with this and it was fun to learn.

[@chriszoupa7898]

Silent Gamer I've had a really shit day today. I really needed to hear something nice. Thank you man

[@SilentGamer1108]

You’re welcome hope everything is ok. I love these tutorials and I subbed and liked too .

[@fulesmackofule]

9:26 Thanks, Chris! Some tip for others: I think it is easier to just go up towards the lower strings than getting down the neck with the following at the end of section 3: After 11 on G: 14 12^11 on G 14 13 on D

ive searched a lot of videos and this dude literally plays the song almost the same and it dont sound weird he earned my sub

I believe that you are the best source for solos no one can stack up to your vids

Such a quality for a so old video.... It is beyond understanding that he has a so little amount of followers.

I've never heard you teach before, so this being my first video ever. Have to say your actually a really good teacher. You slow it down and explain very well and thorough. Thank you so much for this video hope to learn this damn song

[@placatemince2675]

how do you get such a clean sound while playing??

[@eyeofhorus4387]

Placate Mince precision and not an immense amount of distortion. Too much distortion can be bad

[@6StringEraser]

Chris, this was great. I got the song in this month of Guitar World and started working on it. The tabs in the magazine were a little different from what you played here, but your approach made it much easier than the way the tabs were written in the mag. Cheers, thanks a lot!

[@lenoretheshredder]

Just looked this over. I just love your lessons.

hi lenore. if your mum emails me i can send you tabs of any of my lessons if you want them!

Hi Chris, you're just the best! I'm 14 years old and I play the guitar from 1 year, thanks to you i've learned Shepherd Of Fire's solo, thanks a lot! ;') Stay Metal!

[@seyedamirhosseingheibi710]

Cmon man. This is my fav avenged sevenfold song. Thr fact that u play it smoothly and the fact that i doubted myself that i could play it even when i exactly knew what the notes are is killing me. Funny that almost all of the a7x solos i learned were from u Gj man Stay awesome

[@RPREYNO]

Again - Chris you are so fucking badass and you're an amaZing teacher! I started playing in '01 before KZbin was created. Kids these days have it made. I learned tabs and taught myself. However, I love watching you. You're teaching me to be a better player. \m/

I just discovered you and i learned the most of this song on the first try by far sir you are the best youtuber for guitar

[@Turismo860]

"dude i have that guitar!!!" yes, there is currently more than one fucking schecter in the world

[@CryingBabiesOfHell]

My dude you are the best. :D Very helpful and simple on such solo, I watched many more tutorials for the same song but they are just showing off, not helping, and yes they were actually uploaded as "tutorial" videos. You have my subscription, have a nice day.

[@ashsg4198]

Damn it !! Chris does such a great job teaching these solos he deserves way more subs!!!

[@FireInGrace]

Chris holds the pick with his middle finger. Such as Brian jr. does. It may not be all the time, but for display, it really shows the inventors method. This lesson is great. Wish I found out about this guy a lot sooner than I did. Great ear!

[@andrewkasper2015]

Chris doesn't use a pick. He uses his nail to strum. But still pretty impressive either way!

[@perrygoldstein6332]

great job. what makes is this easy to follow is that you don't forget where you were before moving to the next part. most people have to start all over

[@JuanGarcia-gf1pi]

Your Amazing you should do coming home solo.

[@ArchAngelSlayer1]

Can you do a tutorial on the solo from Seize the Day - Avenged Sevenfold?

[@chrisfusion6945]

I've love the album posters of the wall behind you, especially GNR. You rock Chris!

[@CaptMusicMan]

Hey Chris Im a huge a7x fan I started listening to them since 2012. By then i only could listen to them and enjoy Thee joy brought me to playing guitar 4 month ago and thanks to you i can play my favorite songs Thank you man. Your lessons are always awesome and make solos that i thought they are hard looking so easy. Thats my motivation to learn even more Btw, what a badass

[@javiervigalcoalla693]

Chris there's a mistake in the tab at 11:53. You missed 2 notes (12-11 in the thrid string)

[@thomasellis1268]

The tabs were the extra that really made it more helpful. Thanks Chris!

[@dardobartoli]

Fantastic stuff Chris, very much appreciated. Only just discovered AS and this solo is one of my favourites already and even gives Friedmans Tornado of Souls a run for its money. Anyway, many thanks for taking the time to help us less talented guitarists.

[@tanbirnandra8144]

excellent lesson! this has to be the most melodic metal solo that I have ever heard!

[@andrew1735]

Scream and Almost Easy from their self titled album are both in Drop C#. Listen to those if you havent. They're pretty good tracks

[@brianwade4791]

Hey Chris, I noticed that you don't have any country solos on here, you should do one, a really good country solo that is badass is the solo for kick it in the sticks by Brantley Gilbert

[@NickyScissors2048]

Well done bro. I learned the solo with slightly different positions than your lesson but as usual, your lessons are sooo much more practical to play. Thanks for posting this as well as the tab!

[@ismaelgarcia8316]

You great at what you do bro. I get Bord to easy with tabs and if I need reference rather from words or looking at you play it note for note simple its just their and everything. I think I learned every A7X and MegaDeth solo I know from you!! Great and keep on man!!
