Notes

Studio recording for 'Waking the Fallen' (2003). Synyster Gates used a Schecter Synyster Custom with Seymour Duncan Invader bridge pickup into a Peavey 5150 head. No evidence of additional pedals for the solo, but delay is clearly audible. Settings estimated based on genre, era, and typical A7X studio setup.

Difficulty

The solo features rapid alternate picking, sweep picking arpeggios, and string skipping at a fast tempo, requiring advanced technical proficiency and precise timing.
