Avenged Sevenfold: So Far Away - Guitar Solo Cover

Bout time I got around to trying this one. One day I'll put some production on it but for now, in the words of Bill O'Reilly "we'll do it live!"

Absolutely beautiful tone! Very smooth and well played! However don't forget the one finger shaky vibrato you tend to do that I mentioned on one of your other videos. The reason why it's so important is because I can only really tell you're doing a Vibrato because I'm watching you. However when I close my eyes I don't hear it really at all. Especially when you have such sustain and reverb going on, a vibrato like that can easily get drowned out. Really work on that wrist vibrato and you will be golden!

I like how you play with feeling!.. and on top of that accuracy! And you did it without a sustainiac and STILL made those notes last and sound juicy as hell!

Maybe I’m just an old school non-gear guy but I don’t even know what a sustainiac is lol. Assuming it has to do with sustain. Thanks man. I just turn the amp on and play and will keep doing that until it stops working.

Yea nothing wrong with that, you sound great regardless. Basically the sustainiac is an active pickup that Syn plays with in that solo (and many others) with the flick of a switch it offers infinite sustain on notes, and can also turn notes into harmonics based on which setting you are using. If you listen to the last note in so far away, he has normal mode engaged to sustain the final note, then trips the harmonic switch to make it turn into a harmonic.
