Synyster gates hail to the king & almost easy intro

[@Johnkiernanmusic]

Love that he uses the metronome on 2 + 4 as opposed to 1 + 3. Can definitely tell his jazz influence here.

[@cm9241]

Or that's just the most common way of feeling the beat in every form of popular music for the last 70 years

[@Johnkiernanmusic]

@@cm9241 The strongest beat in a measure is usually the 1. When you work with a metronome, especially with younger ages into advanced levels, many teachers will utilize the metronome emphasizing the 1 and the 3 to give a home base for your measure counts. For musicians who study jazz, they set the metronome on the two and the four so that they can develop their swing time more effectively. For a lot of musicians, it’s harder to play with the metronome on 2+4 because the strongest, home beat is not the 2 or 4.

[@cm9241]

@@Johnkiernanmusic I know, I did percussion in college. Using a metronome as a snare isn't unique to jazz

[@hazardeur]

but he can't set the metronome unfortunately. it's both, too slow (at least in the second song) and also should be set to 8ths or even16ths, at least 4ths. maybe he is practicing to play in sync to one tick per bar but even then he is failing as he is way off

[@jameson3500]

Avenged Sevenfold didn't use a click track on their first album, so it's a joke to mess around with them and clicks tracks.

[@Mammoth205]

@@hazardeur He intentionally put the metronome on the 2 and the 4. This is mostly used in jazz for practicing swing feel, but also useful in general for practicing feeling the rhythm and not overly relying on the metronome. It's intentional and he clearly knows how to set a metronome.

[@animerandomness]

I love watching videos like this. It's just a raw breakdown of the guitar part with a basic camera. It makes me want to shred on my guitar again. The inspiration is making a comeback, and it has to do with Synyster Gates just having some fun. Keep it metal. \m/
