How many guitarists does it take to screw in a lightbulb? 1,001. 1 guitarist to actually do it, and 1,000 other guitarists to stand back and explain why they could simply do it better.
Man, I'm a fan of the band and this is pretty shit honestly. It's just divebombs and some amp effects mixed with some incoherent shredding, which defeats the purpose. He's a great guitar player and has some really unique stuff, but this is nothing. The song bit they played is a jam they played for a while and ended up even turning it into a song for a game, so that's not necessarily an improvised solo either. I've seen way better from him.
Hes so underrated, he sweeps so well and for people who dont play guitar, sweep picking is EXTREMELY difficult, its very unique honestly. Im trying to learn but syns just one of those few who can do it so fucking good like i cant, hes so underrated, hes definitally in my top favorite guitarists. I WISH i could play like him, or have one of his custom guitars cause my i love his sound😂 if anyone that is reading this that can sweep please give me tipsXD im self taught and dont really know all the pentatonics, or arpeggios but im learning
In his masterclass video's he talks about Economy picking. not sure if that is the thing that you mean cus i dont play guitar, but maybe if you look up 'economy picking' you can get some tips.
Lolcatification economy picking comes after sweeping, it's essentially sweeping but repeating each string. you need to have sweeping motion nailed to economy pick well
VORTEX GAMING ive tried, im not a paitent person and i get frustrated with myself easily haha but every now and then ill just pick it back up for alittle bit to practice
Elusive Anomaly I'm very aware of Yngwie, but thanks for the reference. Jason Becker was/is quite awesome too. Too bad what happened to him. Michael Angelo Batio is also insanely good. Marc Diglio from the band XYZ is a great player too...very tasteful chops. I could go on all day.
I figured you knew about Yngwie but you're welcome anyways.I didn't know about Michael Angelo Batio though so thank you much for the return reference.Fascinating.
@@antoniustok1041 you're an idiot if you think Gates is technically better than Mayer. Mayer plays with the Grateful Dead, covers Jimi and SRV, even Clapton says "he doesn't even know how good he is" Mayer can play more than 1 style, plus he sings as well. Saying Gates is better than Mayer is like saying Yngwie is better technically than Steve Vai. No't happening.
I play guitar, and those who criticize him are ignorant and rude. Everyone has there own style, and honestly, if I was even half as good as this I'd be satisfied.
Ueah but where does the criticism come from? Is it that they just hate him as a person, or do they hate that he is better than their ruggid tapping skills?
Man, it's entertaining when a band that is known for its solos has a guitarist who can effortlessly nail everything off their records. Really dug this video.
That ending, there's no way that wasn't a scrapped song from hail to the king. They should do a cd with all of the scrapped hail to the king songs like they did with diamonds in the rough.
Synyster Gates is the reason behind me playing guitar... though I suck... He inspires me alot to practice each day ... The way he plays and his skills are off this Univers
honestly I love both slash and syn but I think I'll have to stick with syn because not only are they both my idles but in 2014 I went to my first concert and seen a7x and watching him rip those solos and crap was completely amazing @synester gates
@@nutyeet4016 that's why guns sells out football stadiums?? I doubt you'll ever see Avenged Sevenfold split up, get back together in 23 years and tour world wide. Appetite for Destruction was one of the best selling albums ever
That was pretty epic. Last solo/jam I saw was back in January 09 with The Rev. So jealous they didn't do this at Desert Uprising. Thanks for the upload!
Sounds like a serious teaser near the end, wouldn't be surprised if it was in their next album where they go back to their own style since the last one was pretty much a tribute to their inspirations
It shows that Syn is always working his ass off at learning new techniques, ways to play each and every note and from a musician, that man had super mad skills! I could listen to him play for days on end. Amazing what he can do with the right guitar.
lol, so many haters... this guy is fucking amazing at playing guitar and is even one of the fastest guitarists that have ever lived. (haters gonna hate on this comment)
+Dan D i dont make the lists. plus, just because someone is faster, doesnt mean the person youre analyzing is slow ;) like i said, "haters gonna hate this comment", and it really happened
For those who are saying that the last part with full band sounds like Hail to the King. It is stage selection music from their mobile game that they released a few years ago. You're welcome :)
Ok I thought the syn gates custom guitar with red pin stripes where nice but in gold with golden death bate inlays and golden tuning pegs and golden chrome Seymour Duncan invader SH-8 , that my friend is a work of beauti
They make a variety of them. He has black and silver, black and gold, white and gold, green and purple, black and red, and probably more that I can't think of off the top of my head at the moment.
nobody will ever match the style and raw talent of dimebag. He literally changed the face of an entire genre of music. And its interesting that Korn has more grammys than Pantera
Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Frank Zappa, Randy Rhoads....dude, you really should think before talking, love dimebag but hes not the only one and there are way better players out there
is it the bending? the speed? the accuracy? doesnt take a music genius just to know this man is one of best guitarist ever.. prolly not the best but he is in the list.
***** This is the lighting making it yellow, ive seen a picture of a light half shining on it, so there was yellow looking stripes, but half still the white stripes. The custom guitars he has are the usual black with white stripes, black with red, and he has a white with black stripes.
It's black and gold. He still uses his black and white one too. He'll switch between mid show because they're tuned to different keys for different songs.
Draken Knight Almost no one says this nowadays. Actually I know alot of people that like metal eventhough they arent your friendly stereotype metalhead with loads of band merch n stuff.
Simsom Guppington you do know my comment was towards the electric guitar right? not a specific brand or type of music, Blues uses the electric, Rock uses the electric hell even country now uses the electric guitar. The instrument used to convey the song like a story, I was just saying lots of stuck up country clubbers think its noise, tell that to BB King I say
Synyster Gates has a particular set of skills. Skills that make man like him a nightmare to people like you.
Love how that was taken from Taken
+GARRETT K (CODrevolution) I mean, damn, there's been three Taken movies. At some point, you just have to assume he's a bad parent....

@@venageshen2402 6 years bro😎
This man is already a legend
That solo at 6:03 needs to get on a future album. Fucking amazing!
i agree with you
Lanx Gapz i mean that was perfect
yeah,
Its gonna be on their video game
I went to their show in The Netherlands, and he played the same theme. It was mindblowing hearing that.
Great to see some young guys who know how to throw a solo down. I feared it was a lost art form.
It's never a lost art form! NEVAAAAA

My favorite guitarist of all time 😍🥰
Just found out about this guy's amazing musicianship. What a talent!!
+TheRetroWoman80 He is very good. Just for kicks...look up Jeff Loomis. Miles of machines is a masterpiece.
I will do that. Thanks so much for the reference. Don't stop the music!!!
You should also check out Yngwie Malmsteen because he's so very talented.
Elusive Anomaly I'm very aware of Yngwie, but thanks for the reference. Jason Becker was/is quite awesome too. Too bad what happened to him. Michael Angelo Batio is also insanely good. Marc Diglio from the band XYZ is a great player too...very tasteful chops. I could go on all day.

Syn is a talented guitarist (especially when comparing him to many modern guitarists).
I'd still prefer Mayer
Lol ofc he's one of the best in this generation
@@jeffboy13 different style, but gates technically way better than mayer
@@jeffboy13 I love both to be honest.

I love how his music always sounds so . . . haunting.
I wonder how many people criticizing his playing style even play guitar..
Right on point. Wonder where they bring in the criterias too
I play guitar and im not criticizing i love gates🔥🎸
What playing style? Not spitting and flipping a beard around like zakk?
I play guitar, and those who criticize him are ignorant and rude. Everyone has there own style, and honestly, if I was even half as good as this I'd be satisfied.
Ueah but where does the criticism come from? Is it that they just hate him as a person, or do they hate that he is better than their ruggid tapping skills?
God dang. The way he switches over from normal to wide with his left hand, keeping the same dexterity, is amazing.
I don't mean to hate or anything but it kinda sounds like avenged sevenfold
Markus Sæther :|
cant tell if troll or just stupid
Umma Gumma14 Probably both.
...
Sean Wieder yeah youre probably right
yeah but can he play smoke on the water
no need to embarrass the man
JOKERxRIDDLERxDC it's so fucking easy for him in playing such song.

Hail to the king live from donington
Lmao only Lil Wayne could do that
They need An A7X Guitar hero and at thee end you face sin in this
Syn #
yes that would be awesome and for the bass and drum career to face Arin and Johnny
Not Arin. It would be better to face Jimmy
David Mardakhayev First Arin and then jimmy :)
Kyle Mcglaun I see why :D

Song name bro?

You were fckn right! Its The Stage 2.0 :D
Its not scrapped from hail to the king, the mobile game they have has this song, this is just the "metal" version of it
Androniko's Theme off the HTTK Deathbat game it's on spotify
i will watch this for the rest of my life
Absolutly amazing.
Synyster Gates is the reason behind me playing guitar... though I suck... He inspires me alot to practice each day ... The way he plays and his skills are off this Univers
The way they all come out is fuckin magical

totally agree on u bro👍

Slash is overrated anyway

this is the best synyster gates solo !!
That was pretty epic. Last solo/jam I saw was back in January 09 with The Rev. So jealous they didn't do this at Desert Uprising. Thanks for the upload!
Oh my god.That was totally amazing!
So glad to see that they're working these back into the show.
Sounds like a serious teaser near the end, wouldn't be surprised if it was in their next album where they go back to their own style since the last one was pretty much a tribute to their inspirations
As much as I want that, I'm pretty sure it was a song off hail to the king that didn't make it onto the album.
guitarb3ast7x Pretty sure about that too ^^
More then likely but I'd like for my theory to be true :3
Who wouldn't? :3
Do you know the name of the last solo?
Lol the A7X drummers are like the Spiderverse.
The Rev - Toby Maguire
Arin - Andrew Garfield
Brooks - Tom Holland
And you miss out Mike portnoy
That's so true tho
@@aviukehie1991 Mike wasn't supposed to be permanent tho but I see what you mean
@Giratina,Mike was the best version of all besides Rev
The Rev is probably rolling over in his grave at the thought of being compared to Toby. 🤮
Every year his solos just get better and better it's incredible
i went there for my birthday!
It shows that Syn is always working his ass off at learning new techniques, ways to play each and every note and from a musician, that man had super mad skills! I could listen to him play for days on end. Amazing what he can do with the right guitar.

this guy is fucking amazing at playing guitar and is even one of the fastest guitarists that have ever lived. (haters gonna hate on this comment)
not for me.agree on u Tuxita99.👍
Fastest? Go back and listen to guys like Vinnie Moore, McAlpine, Gilbert, Yngwie, Lane, Lynch, etc.

+Dan D i dont make the lists. plus, just because someone is faster, doesnt mean the person youre analyzing is slow ;)

He is a guitar legend.
The perfect example of why i love AX7 the most...fking Gates. Just GOD!
Was here, amazing show.
King of guitar modern syn gates
This guy is a legend in my opinion.
The thing they play near the end is Andronikos Theme from the game :D
Same solo played in Stockholm, Hovet on November the 8th, it was bloody epic. Been looking for this!
Still here 2023 🤘🤘
Synyster Gates is the worlds greatest electric guitar player + he has an amazing hair
Hes a great player but not the worlds greatest. Please say you have heard of and explored Malmsteen and Steve Vai.
Tony Stark and Satriani!
***** of course Petrucci but if we could go al lday naming amazing guitarists!
can i please have his left hand?
indeed lmao

great but I am sure he cannot play Lil Waynes solos
Master Kostas no one can lil Wayne is the best guitar player in the world (sarcasm)
Noone except Wayne is that bad
Nah like on a serious note tho, can he play some Chris Broderick?
Because lil Wayne sucks
Yeah it's hard to suck that bad.
I would like to hear him play the national anthem
Amazing musicians! Wow! 🤘🏼
I could watch this every day I want too

Michael Angelo Batio. Yngwie Malmsteen. Rusty Cooley. Just naming few.
David Davidson.

I didn't know Bruno Mars could play drums ;) :p
haha bruno mars CAN actually!
Hahahah

Perfect, surreal 😍😍😍😍
I'm going to see them next month, I hope he plays that solo, they, well him especially my biggest inspirations for writing music.
is it the bending? the speed? the accuracy? doesnt take a music genius just to know this man is one of best guitarist ever.. prolly not the best but he is in the list.
I love what he starts playing at 6:05. Anyone agree?
Strictly Psycho it’s the Andronikos Theme from their video game
Hey Syn! we want this in all the shows
He is my favorite he is so awesome tbh
I like his black and white guitar more, tbh
i think it is his black and white one, but the lighting is probably fucked cause its the arena in cinci
*****
This is the lighting making it yellow, ive seen a picture of a light half shining on it, so there was yellow looking stripes, but half still the white stripes. The custom guitars he has are the usual black with white stripes, black with red, and he has a white with black stripes.

Marker streaks and horned head... Awesome

Nicolas Ceccarello je veux dire, tu joues de la guitare électrique, acoustique, ou classique?
Melissa Sende Ah, électrique sur une Fender Stratocaster (Mexicaine) et une ibanez, mais je veux m'acheter une Schecter (comme Gates)! Et toi?
2018 and im still here for his godlike solo
2022
the second to last part of the solo has soo much of a Groove feeling to it
And bruno mars on the drums!

About time Syn started doing solos and stuff during shows. :D
Wow so amazing
Syn is by far the best guitarist there is in today's rock/metal world!
Dude is a beast buy don't disregard Dragonforce either.
Live version of Andronikos Theme.
He´s makeing love with that guitar. I wish being that guitar..wow!!
HOLY SHIT,this is awesome
Is it just me or does some of the stuff he plays sound like it's from The Stage.
for those people who say you cant tell a story with an electric guitar, well here ya go.
