  • Hey guys, here's the Synyster Gates Master Class!
    Part 1
    I had my camera set up behind the other film crew that was there.
    I don't think they really liked it, also, they were giving me a 10 sec eta, haha. (Also standing in front of the camera a lot) ;o, could have been an accident, though. My apologies, I didn't have much time to set up the camera in a good spot. However, I brought my GoPro and recorded what I could just in case something like this happened. ;)
    I'll be uploading the next parts in a bit. Probably 1 a day or so.
    Hope you guys enjoy it!! I'll also be uploading other recordings I made while I was in Hollywood with the other contestants.
    Couldn't have made it without you guys. ;) You're awesome, thank you so much again.

    His combination of shred and finesse are the reason why he’s the best guitar player of our generation. Flawlessly combining sweep picks with everything else and it’s all articulated clearly..

    As a great guitarist on youtube, Chris Zoupa once said, it's very hard to combine technicality and feel to the perfect blend so that it touches the hearts of all fans. Synyster, congradulations because you managed to do that. Listening to your riffs and solos give me eargasms XD

    Got to give Synyster Gates so credit. Not much of an Avenged Sevenfold fan but he was so relaxed and in the pocket during that it was ridiculous and when he was getting into it during the slow hand phrases that was awesome. I think that the more he progress...man if he keeps getting better by the time he's 40 he'll be pretty freakin' sweet.

  • @nunyabusiness9695
    @nunyabusiness9695 9 років тому +85

    getting fed up with all these comments saying "this person's better. Syn's this".
    The reality of it is that Syn is insanely talented at what he does! He knows what he's capable of and he knows what his style of playing is. Plus not to mention the fact that he's clearly enjoying what he's doing. And that's a huge thing!
    Yes, technicality is great but I'd much rather take influence from someone who plays with feel. Anyone can go home and learn a few scale patterns but if you don't know how to play them with feel, then it's just a waste of time.
    With that said, Syn rocks. We know he does. Please quit your bitching!

      Nick M Like what was said man, practice. And if you're having a hard time doing the techniques, good. Because if you're struggling, then you're making progress.
      Look up the techniques, practice them slowly. Increase your speed when you feel like you can do so without sacrificing the clarity of the notes or your control over them. I used to increase speed by the week, even if if was just a tiny bit. Week 15 you'll look back at Week 1 and be like damn, I got a hell of a lot better. Imagine doing that for years.
      Most important thing besides learning techniques, applying them on your own. Don't play only one part of the fretboard. I do something I call 'playing blind'.
      Basically play the whole fretboard without anything in mind, just combining notes and techniques to understand how they all relate to one another. Sooner than you think you'll be creating your own scales, progressions, ideas etc that your mind and fingers will memorize in your own unique style.
      Hope this helps.
