Seriously one of the best guitarist alive, his sound is so signature to him. If I'm walking past someone's music playing and all I can hear is Syn playing guitar, I recognize it instantly.
I love how he makes it look effortless. He's so talented. He not only plays guitar on some crazy next level amazing, he composes music for all instruments in the band and writes lyrics. He's truly gifted when it comes to music
Yeah then have a secondary guitarist to play rythm, and harmonize with him..? Maybe some crazy ass bass player, and a octopus infused drummer... Thatd be a cool band. Call it revengeX7 or something. 😂😂😂
Ikr. Im trying to learn it rn and its a pain in the ass. I’ve already nailed the first part of the intro not the second one. But i’ve only been playing for 11 months so i should probably choose easier songs
No doubt. One of the single best guitarists of the ages. He has so much music theory & technicalities from multiple genres that he can throw into one single song anytime and it just flows epically. His best friend, The Rev (RIP), was my favorite drummer of all time for the same reasons. (And yes I listen to many a music) he's the reason I started drumming in the first place way back when 'Waking The Fallen's' first single: "Unholy Confessions" first debuted on Fuse. Been playing ever since and am now 34. You guys changed my life, and the world of music forever. Xoxo
Syn I'm a huge fan. You're the reason I play guitar. The solos you made are so amazing and of course I'm a huge fan of Avenged Sevenfold. Love your work and the band's work \m/
When I feel horrible, I grab my guitar and play this intro specifically. It really lifts up my mood, one of the most beautiful things Synyster Gates has created. Fuck he’s so good
So you use your thumb to get that first bass note..... I could never figure out how to play it. Thank you :) Edit: well this blew up!!! Didn't think I needed to point out I was talking about the fretting hand, but aparrently I did.
Oh, maybe you're actually talking about the left hand thumb ? Yeah, you can use it to play note too, it doesn't have to stay on the back of the neck ;)
Hater think that synyster gates fans think he’s good just because of how fast he can play. I’m sorry but that’s just a small portion of the reason he’s one of the best. Synyster gate’s playing is so clean, his songwriting and lead writing is so good and so well studied, he can play really fast and stay clean, his solos sound so good, aren’t easy to play and and really fit well in any song they write
TMmA Borno or his underwear or a watch or socks or his vase or a piece of art, his bead sheets, his bed you know any of that would that would be nice...
Generating Random so in an alternate dimension which means this dimensions counterpart. Wow, you really know how to completely remove yourself from the equation.
@@stupendous7848 I agree, contrary to what many think you don’t need big hands to play guitar. Matter of fact, fat hands would even be harder to play guitar with because big fat fingers make it harder to precisely hit frets cleanly.

@@jacksvillage9861 As a guitarist, I’ma tell you: Jimi Hendrix isn’t overrated.

I could imagine, a painfully slightly slowed version of this intro, wrapped into a real blues version of the same lyrics or maybe something different but this intro is so killer it just drags you in
A lot of comments about how he has a signature sound but no ones gonna talk about those satisfying ass tones? This video has sealed the deal, im buying a signature guitar of his.

You are nothing. Signed God

I've heard this intro a thousand times and every single time, I think it's the greatest thing I've ever heard.
@jameszacknehring787shut yo ass up
Agree 100%
He has a lot of solos that are beautiful and graceful. His solos were a huge reason i fell in love with this band.
Ugh, that clean tone is to die for

Literally
Clean + Chorus + Delay + Reverb
Maybe.. 😬
A ton of delay.

I like how Syn gives off the stern parent look at 0:16.

He plays in the band called avenged sevenfold

He is a much better guitar player than people give him credit for. His live performances are spectacular.
He is not only a killer guitarist but a kind and humble person. He's an all around great guy !
Can not wait for new album from avenged sevenfold👍
Keong Racun when is it?
+LingKiin Either bro, but we just wait😉👍
LingKiin they said recently they want to start writing it when this tour is done
Oh ok
Same.I bet it will be sick af
Awesome bro 😎
the tune is so fucking relaxing. makes me want to play it one day
Met this guy at the beach in San Diego, was with his GF and parents... he was so cool and down to earth... ill never forget it...
It's his wife, not gf.
Didbu get an autograph? (from his dad)
@@hazardgaminghg122 was not his wife at the time, this was like 2006.
@@hideotrolljima907 no because im an idiot, his dad was sitting with his girl at the time, i kinda ambushed Gates at the foodstop.
It pisses me off how easy Syn makes this look

Syn is just like that. He'd be playing Beast and the Harlot solo and looking like he's bored. He has enough skill to piss us other guitarists off
M8 he wrote it, that's why it's easy for him
Gorgeous guitar skills for a gorgeous man
So talented. Most of my favorite solos come from him!

Eres él mejor
This opening melody is not just an introduction but an emotional prelude that frames the entire epic that unfolds😢

Have such respect for this guy, his guitar work is incredible
I’ve been a huge fan and you synnister Gates have always been my idol you are the main reason I am learning how to play guitar
Love these guys.....seen them live in Charlotte N.C. almost 10 years ago.....Talent never forgotten!!!!!....
Toca demais slccc, melhor guitarrista que já vi mandando solo.
You are so incredibly talented! Thanks for blessing the world with your skills ❤
I wanted him to just keep going. His tuning is great
THANK YOU I finally found it I knew it was a avenged sevenfold song but I’ve had this melody in my head all day
I think he is the most historical guitarist. I love his way as a guitarist 🤘🏻 #avengedsevenfold
I'm in my sophomore yearrr and I've been your fan since I was in elementary school omg 😭😭❤❤ I love u so much much mr.syn ❤❤
the last album they worked on with their drummer
it’s so grim i loved it years ago
Synyster Gates, a man who knows how to make a guitar sing.
One of my favourite guitarist ❤❤❤
So you use your thumb to get that first bass note..... I could never figure out how to play it. Thank you :)
Edit: well this blew up!!! Didn't think I needed to point out I was talking about the fretting hand, but aparrently I did.

Common sense 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dude, that's fingerstyle 101 haha. Better late than never though
Oh, maybe you're actually talking about the left hand thumb ? Yeah, you can use it to play note too, it doesn't have to stay on the back of the neck ;)
Danny I cheat lol
In all honesty
That is one of the most sincere and raw emotion driven intros ful of Despair and total loss of hope I've ever heard /feld...ever
Legend if you agree
Hey man.. we're aging together. And I couldn't be happier about that. Love your guitar skills man. Always have, always will.
Sou fã demais do grande Synyster Gates!! Ainda parece meu professor de RLM Jhoni Zini 🤣
Gates is not just a guitarist…the guys is an incredible musician some of his solos are so jazzy…it’s unbelievable to hear
My favorite riff of all time
Such a underrated guitar player
Make me soooo relaxed and cool
Amo esta cansion espero un día vengan a México para ir averlos los admiro muchísimo y tengo todas sus cansiones
Probably my favorite intro in the Nightmare Album besides the song Fiction.

Seth Bailey slash or frusciante are still above, but Syn is great
*ahem* john frusciante
Yeah, he's one of them. one of the greatest guitarists. Still young
He’s great but not the greatest. Jimi hendrix, gary moore, steve vai, srv is the greatest guitarists of all time
Have you heard of Randy Rhoads my friend?
Best metal song in a long time. Dueling guitars, heavy and soft. It has all the things!!!
I wish I had one of your guitars...or one of your hats. I'm your biggest fan on planet earth!
TMmA Borno Exactly same here bro...
TMmA Borno or his underwear or a watch or socks or his vase or a piece of art, his bead sheets, his bed you know any of that would that would be nice...

I saved up for a year to buy the original black and white custom , it plays amazing .
Its sad to see them getting old💔
I’m not sure what it is about the tone in this video but it just sounds beautiful lol. It sounds better than the album version honestly.
Reckless entertainment I agree
Love it. I've always been a huge fan of Sevendust! Keep rocking 🤘
Alip ba ta cover this song amazingly with his accoustic guitar
Yes....agree
Yeah very⁷ nice... 👍👍👍
Yesss.......
Alip ba ta the best..😁
Who the f is alip ba ta
Dude how do you get that last harmonic at the end...5th fret then what?
3.1 on the a string
*d string
What he said! ^^
3rd fret on the D string. Natural Harmonic
It's actually a harp harmonic. UA-cam the technique.
So proud to have my favorite bands guitarist be on the top 10 guitarists in the world list :,)
I want to meet u so bad ;_; u r my inspiration to keep going ;_; and to continue guitar that is
You guys are all talented in your own ways that's what makes Avenged one of the best metal bands ever....
The sound if it when it starts is amazing.
Sends chills down my spine every time

0:29 When your mom asked u twice to clean ur room

One of my favorites songs 💕
Jesus he’s so good. Syn IS the sound of A7X. Without him, they’re just mediocre. My vote for best guitarist alive.
Without syn .a7x wouldn't exist and without the rev
I beg to differ...none of the rest of the band are mediocre. Especially not M Shadows and The Rev. Zacky’s pretty good too. Johnny’s an average bassist, but good enough.

Can definitely tell he's classically trained.

I could imagine, a painfully slightly slowed version of this intro, wrapped into a real blues version of the same lyrics or maybe something different but this intro is so killer it just drags you in
I didn't know he uses bass notes in this intro
Bars Brown yea you can hear in the studio recording

Amazing intro ❤❤❤🎉

Im trying to learn that intro
Did you learn it yet?
I've been trying to learn it. It's been 2 years and it still doesn't sound anything like what he plays. The finesse tho
Its easy man you'll get it
Absolutely beautiful
This proves pretty much all the tabs wrong. I'd love to be able to learn it this way.

this is masterpiece, I love this song
Subtle note with the left thumb at 0:03 haha
i love how much inspiration this took from metalica but stills sounds so damn unique
I seeing Elon musk playing guitar
This intro is so simple yet so iconic.
0:20 what's happening in here?
7th fret hammer on 8 pull off back to 7 pull off 5 hammer on back to 7
I was a latecomer to this song but now it is number 1 on my yt music year in review chart
0:10 piano? ufff
Thats one of the best if not the very best guitar intros in all of music
