"Synyster Gates Lesson" --- Avenged Sevenfold
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: [travis]
***December 28, 2009: R.I.P. Jimmy "The R.E.V." Sullivan. You will be missed. ****
Tuning: Drop D (D A D G B E) low to high
[You don't have to tune to D,
but obviously Syn tunes to D
all the time.]
*This tab is for the awesome "Sweep picking solo" Synyster Gates shows
you on a video on youtube. It's the video were Syn shows you a couple
of tips, on how to play like him. Some of the vids are based on dive bombs,
sweep picking, Beast and the Harlot intro, and soloing strategies.
*Search "Synyster Gates lesson," on youtube.com. Click on the vid that
says "Sweep Picking Lesson." The vid is from "Total Guitar Television."
**********************************
Key: F Major (F G A Bb C D E F)
*Most of Avenged Sevenfold's songs are in the key of
F Major (F G A Bb C D E F), and this "solo" is in
the key of F Major.
*The only songs of Avenged Sevenfold that are in different
keys are: "Burn It Down" C Major (C D E F G A B C), but
for the Intro Duel, and the Main Riff, but when it goes into
the Chorus, it's back to F Major. "Dear God:" G Major (G A B C D E F# G).
