Notes

Studio recording for 'City of Evil' (2005). Synyster Gates used his signature Schecter with Seymour Duncan Invaders into a Peavey 5150 II. No direct evidence of pedal use for this solo, but high-gain amp and possible post-processing. Settings estimated based on genre, era, and typical use for this rig.

Difficulty

The 'M.I.A.' solo is widely regarded as one of Synyster Gates' most technically demanding solos, featuring rapid-fire picking, intricate sweeps, and advanced legato/tapping techniques at high speed.
