Notes

Studio recording, 2004-2005 (City of Evil album). Zacky Vengeance is confirmed to use his Schecter signature with Seymour Duncan JB pickups for Drop D/metal tracks. Marshall JVM series amps are confirmed for this era, with JVM410H most likely in studio. No evidence of Jet City or Bogner for this album. No pedalboard evidence for this specific solo; most effects are rack-based or amp-based. Effects are minimal for this solo, focused on high-gain amp tone. No evidence of boost/OD pedal for solo, but compression is possible.

Difficulty

The solo features fast alternate picking, string skipping, and rapid position shifts, requiring advanced picking accuracy and left-hand coordination. The tempo and technical demands make it challenging for most intermediate players.
