Trying Avenged Sevenfold "Higher" Acoustically

  • TheRedMageGuitarist
Hi everyone! I have been so inspired by all of the amazing comments that I've gotten lately. On the other guitar school I'm on, I've learned a lot about strumming, keeping the rhythm and feeling it in your body. Since so many Synners encouraged me to try to focus on rhythm or songwriting, I decided to do this with my singer since she loves it so much.
What I did, is that I tried to utilize the rest of the neck by using inverted chords, the capo, and other CAGED positions. I know that there's a part that I haven't learned yet in the verse, but I tried to do the base chords of it. I chose to capo it as in the intro I have a very open string use where I arpeggiate the chords.
Please be gentle with Holly's voice. She took about 6 months off of singing because of personal grievances. I'm super proud of her. And this was so unbelievably fun to do!
This is so sick Jak, I’ve never even thought about what “Higher” would sound like acoustically haha Had a blast listening to this and I think you both sound great here! 👏👏

I know you want feedback but I’m just stoked to see and Holly having fun together again! 🤘🏻
Can I come and play the tambourine next time ya jam ? 😁
Something tells me you'd be great at the tambourine. Or the spoons. Or the maracas :ROFLMAO:

Think using caged chords is a great compromise on rhythm and lead. Your fingers still get that workout. I also like that you picked the acoustic over the electric so you're.not just chugging power chords.
