I both agree but also disagree. The ones he's written ARE in fact fantastic such as the solo's from dancing dead, to end the rapture, and the main guitar riff for scream however his best work is so far and few inbetween that its easy to overlook especially when you have a lead player such as synyster gates who is pretty much a modern day shred master.
@@shredgod6394 If you had been a fan as long as i have you could tell the difference. V has more punk influence and wasnt trained like syn or go to music school like syn. Its very easy to tell.
You know, I love Zacky and Syn, you know? They're just, you know, two of the best guitarists ever, you know? Lmao just messing around Zacky, I love you both.
this reminds me. Me and my buddy played a drinking game on bmx video. Garrett Reynolds nike6.0 part. Every time he does barspin (where he throws the bars around) u take a drink. we got drunk pretty fast.
This helps ease my performance anxiety so much, just hearing that even though feel like I am doing absolutely horrible, I'm already on track with a lot of things they said, and that they didn't just pick up a guitar and shred it their first time they had to work at (like this is obvious but it helps to hear it) gives me confidence to keep practicing, and some things they said will help me eliminate some bad habits i started forming 💙💙💙💀 i love these guys so much
I was a drummer for years but zacky got me into rhythm guitar. Boy it's a fucking process learning guitar as a drummer but I've seen a lot of progress and have been writing my own licks now. It's all thanks to Zacky 🇺🇸👍🎸
I love to see these guys talk about music. There's a lot of feeling and structure you get from there albums but the real emotion and memory is stored in all there commentary.
These guys are the reason why i play man. Syn's skill and Zacky's motivation and ambition just never stops amazing me. dont get me wrong Zacky is fucking amazing guitar player and i agree that he does not get as much respect as he should get compared to Syn. Amazing people!!! Rest in peace Rev... you still fucking rock brother.
It's always a good idea to learn stuff by ear. Its a pain in the ass at first but once your able to realize your too low or too high it will make your playing so much better as well as being able to learn other players content with the same basic principles
these guys have plenty of money to spend on new amps and gear, but honestly you dont really need a huges and kettner for good tone. im perfectly happy with the tone coming out of my B52 At100 that i bought for $350 on craigslist and 3 schecters with active pickups... now if you just have a little combo starter amp then yeah youll probably have to upgrade but there are plenty of lower range amps that can achieve great tone
Tablature are music sheets that help you learn a song that you want to learn. It's a great way to learn songs from your favorite band or musician. I do recommended getting any tablature book that tells you what the notes mean (usually its on the front or the back of the book) After you learn some songs, try learning some other songs by ear. Hope that helps you. :)
@iamthescott1 both work, if you mute your picking hand by putting it on the string it will always sound the same, wether as if you mute your fretting hand you'll get a lighter or heavier sound. so its up to you.
well, its burn it down and its (im gonna try to tab this as best i can on here) basically open power chord on A and D (0/2) then 1/3 and 0/2 and 3/5 then 0/2 again then 1/3 again then 0/2 again with some palm muted open A string in between power chords questions, just PM me.
Zacky uses: * Bogner Ubershall and Caveman Head * Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Head * Marshall JCM-2000 Syn uses:Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier, Bogner Ubershall Head
You guys really helped me out, Cause i new like how to do stuff, i remembered notes..but i didn't know that at the start it's good to try and do like easy notes and move your fingers slowly not fast and AFTER you get faster! You really helped me out! Thanks! Avenged Sevenfold foREver!
makes me happy knowing i'm not the only one who plays in mostly downstroke. I like that Zacky admits it's a hard habit to get used to alternating. Cause I can't alternate well for shit lol.
this was a fkn awesome interview and guitar lesson/talk. Man I've always said it and Zacky just did : Not everyone is born to be a lead player, love to listen to leads but I prefer riffing my 6th & 5th strings
It was Burn It Down. I just didn't remember the certain part Zacky played. I got all the Avenged Sevenfold albums to date but Sounding The Seventh Trumpet. Just couldn't really get into that one. Saw them live in 08 also. Good show.
im with fleaa he was a jazz guitarist but he plays everything he learned it from his dad most people call him guitar guy he plays on the comedian jeff dunahms shows...
Neither. It comes from the fact that Zacky's primarily the band's rhythm player and Syn's the lead. Syn's tone has quite a bit of reverb on it so that his solos sound more full and kinda gives that "surrounding" feeling to it. If Zacky had that same reverb, it'll make all his palm muting sound very muddy. The crunchy tone suits the palm muting a lot better. So it really depends on your style.
when he said "it's good to have a great drummer. one who has a good groove" i could just see the Rev skipping through singing "A spoonfull of Jimmy helps the medicine go down." XD R.I.P. REV, we'll miss you. come back as soon as you're an amazing knife master
This is very very good info for beginning guitarist...I had to figure all this shit out on my own and it took a very long time but if you r a beginner you really need to pay attention to what they r saying its very good advice that can save you a shitload of time
there are a lot parts syn wrote, that zack plays and a lot part that zack wrote and syn plays, like the high thingy part in scream. this slotmashine sound. zack wrote it, syn plays it. also jimmy wrote the afterlife solo, not syn. they are all talented, okay? everyone. matt, syn, zack, johnny and jimmy.
Avenged sevenfold rhythm is mainly an open d string and chorus is usually badass octaved notes and also syn and zacky are awesome and by disrespecting everyone who disagrees with you 1.pisses them off so expect retaliation 2.makes it seem like you don't think they should have an opinion. please just simmer down and have fun this is the internet after all.
Syn is a metal guitarist who infuses different elements of other rock genres into his music. He rarely ventures into any blues scales, though I'm sure he can apply them reasonably well.
but, what alot of people don't realize, is that a good lead, is usually a better rhythm guitarist. because, when you work as a lead for a band for a couple of months, as Syn said, he didn't usually worry about rhythm, until he started playing in a band, and since then, he's said that he's become a better rhythm player, listen to all their live stuff, when Syn plays rhythm, especially in Second Heartbeat, he set the rhythm, Jimmy came in 1/8th late, in my opinion, but still, he kept the rhythm.
No Zacky, I don't know...
I loled xD
Rhys R hahahahaha
AHAHAHAH-
Lmao
You know 🤷♂️
Zacky is one of my rythm inspirations. He can shred or pull of a solo. Its sick.

Dancing Dead wasn't zacky.
This can't be found/substantiated anywhere other than random youtube comments spreading a rumor
@@shredgod6394 its zacky style not syn, u can check in wiki

lol, more like you’d be dead before this video ended.
I know
that distortion is godly omfg.
So true about when he said even if you practice with a metronome once a year, your sense of rhythm will develop like immediately, its magic.
I counted at least 36 “ya know”s from Zacky. And now I know.
He is inspired by James “ya know” Hetfield
Ya know?
@@unknownuser1087 and jim 'ya know' root :)

PrismEdits ME TOO
I watch this video often to keep my motivation up! It's awesome!
Ya know I'm a beginner and these guys really... inspire me, ya know?
@TheNextSynyster Finally, a man that understands the significance of rhythm and bass guitar.
you know it's perfect
Zacky was obviously making it up and had nothing much to say :)
They're both freaking awesome like that :D
*drinking game: take a shot every time Zaky V says “you know”
I learn with this video how to say "Ya know"
Zacky is underrated.

YES GUYS I KNOW!
Notes Are Useful To know too. It broadens your horizon of what you can play
I'm big fans avenged sevenfold
Syn's dad is actually who played the acoustic part in Sidewinder on the City Of Evil CD.
@iamthescott1 both work, if you mute your picking hand by putting it on the string it will always sound the same, wether as if you mute your fretting hand you'll get a lighter or heavier sound. so its up to you.
Dont decide which guitarist is better. Be happy that such great guitarists are in the same band!
well, its burn it down and its (im gonna try to tab this as best i can on here)
basically open power chord on A and D (0/2)
then 1/3 and 0/2 and 3/5 then 0/2 again then 1/3 again then 0/2 again
with some palm muted open A string in between power chords
questions, just PM me.
I love you guys, you completely understand the kind of thins I'm in with learning. I'm teaching myself too.
Second heartbeat zacy is playing the lead in the intro n syn is playing rhythm they are amazing guitarists
Zacky uses: * Bogner Ubershall and Caveman Head
* Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Head

Teachers don't teach, they show you things, you teach yourself.
Drop the low E down to D so you have a 5th chord just by barring (or playing open) the lowest 3 strings
Gotta love Syn's face at 5.00, it's like he's saying "Yeah, whatever..."
he meant going up in stages of 1 or 2 bpm
so starting at say 60, 62 63 65
the riff zacky plays at 6:05 is from burn it down i think
It was Burn It Down. I just didn't remember the certain part Zacky played. I got all the Avenged Sevenfold albums to date but Sounding The Seventh Trumpet. Just couldn't really get into that one. Saw them live in 08 also. Good show.
@dmonks40 If you listen he said start at a certain speed and then inch up 1 or 2 beats to increase speed
bogners, and marshal jvms
i remember they use to use bogner cavemans, which are super rare.
Damn those men are fine and they can play their guitars like no other!
actually he said, "WHEN i joined Avenged Sevenfold, I couldnt play rythmn very well." How many albums ago was that? exactly.
im with fleaa he was a jazz guitarist but he plays everything he learned it from his dad most people call him guitar guy he plays on the comedian jeff dunahms shows...
Can people stop commenting "Zacky said "Ya know" 38 TIMES! OMGZ!" It's a guitar lesson from an Epic band. ENJOY!
Hell yeah for rhythm guitarists. Rhythm guitarists unite.
It's so sad that syn was talking (back then) about how well they blended with The Rev. And now he's gone. :'(
@thatguyfromhere1 it was Guitar world's CD-Rom that came with the either October or November 2007 issue
After 9:45 Syn gives the best advice for newer guitarists
5:06
Syn: Dude! is that a snakee!?
5:16
Syn: naaah that's just my plug

Zacky's tone is so much better than syns.
And @LoJoMo210 I think it's a riff from 'burn it down'
Thanks for the vid! I'm teaching myself to play, and watching both Syn and Zacky is great since I play ambi.
it's a noise gate for the microphone so it doesn't feedback
This is very very good info for beginning guitarist...I had to figure all this shit out on my own and it took a very long time but if you r a beginner you really need to pay attention to what they r saying its very good advice that can save you a shitload of time

why don't u make the new song with you know?
Love being rhythm guitar in my band! It allows me to be so free on stage because it's not difficult to maintain rhythm! :D
These guys are the single reason i picked up guitar over 15 years ago.
5:14
Syn: *zoned out*
Zacky: "wasnt until me and him"
Syn: "What did he says omething about me"
lol
@RetroRifleGuitarist2 it's 1999 if you look at it with the neck facing down
I took a drink everytime he said you know and was smashed at the end, great drinking game xD
You took 30+ shots? Not buying that one
Syn is a metal guitarist who infuses different elements of other rock genres into his music. He rarely ventures into any blues scales, though I'm sure he can apply them reasonably well.
@dmonks40 hahaha he meant start at a speed (like 80) and then move up 1 beat per minute, 2 beats per minute, etc. as you get better
but, what alot of people don't realize, is that a good lead, is usually a better rhythm guitarist. because, when you work as a lead for a band for a couple of months, as Syn said, he didn't usually worry about rhythm, until he started playing in a band, and since then, he's said that he's become a better rhythm player, listen to all their live stuff, when Syn plays rhythm, especially in Second Heartbeat, he set the rhythm, Jimmy came in 1/8th late, in my opinion, but still, he kept the rhythm.
