Advanced shred guitar lesson -- How Synyster Gates shreds

The Afterlife solo features all the best elements of shred guitar style used by Synyster Gates.

If you are an experienced lead guitarist, you will know that many Avenged Sevenfold guitar tabs that you find online are painfully incorrect!

Why?

Synyster Gates has a shredding style that is inherently difficult to "copy"...

...Only when you get "inside" the solo can you figure out what is really going on! Only THEN can you learn to play it!

So, what is the best way to learn the Afterlife solo? Well, you have to see inside the shred guitar solo "language" and try to get the big picture.

The solo itself is not "cut and dry", but you can fake it according to your understanding of the big picture of the solo itself!

If this is your first shred guitar lesson, just focus on playing through the tablature one note at a time. You will "get the picture" with more experience. Don't worry! Just keep playing through the tabs!

For YOU, focusing more on the techniques of shredding will be the most beneficial thing you can do. The patterns will emerge with time!

Avenged Sevenfold guitar tabs -- Complete Afterlife solo:

I can tell you for a fact that this transcription of the Afterlife solo is the closest to the real thing you will get apart from Synyster Gates showing you himself...

...How do I know?

I spent hours upon hours analyzing videos, listening to the song at a fraction of the speed, and pulling out one note at a time.

...Now all you have to do is play it!

Shred guitar solos such as these will always invariably require a little bit of interpretation. You have to play it with style.

OK, so let's get on to the good stuff!

Phrase 1 in this solo has been painfully wrong in other online tab versions. Here is the REAL version!

In phrase 2, you should use only left hand legato. No picking required! You can even brace your right hand over the nut Steve Vai-style to block unwanted notes.
