------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "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). *********************************** Legend: h = hammer on p = pull off ~ = vibrato Fingering: 1 = index finger 2 = middle finger 3 = ring finger 4 = pinkie finger
