Finally tackling some much needed metal rhythm work!
Making some ambient sounds with my Ebow and loop station (ft my rather curious cat). Enjoy folks!
(This one got taken down a while back while changes were being made to the site) This might be my favourite Avenged Sevenfold solo! This is me attempting it, enjoy!

As per Syn's tips and Papa's advice
I uploaded the first minute or so before but figured I'd share a little progress video of where I'm at now. I have very little time to play lately so usually when I sit down to practice it's like 15-30 minutes so progress is a little slow. It's definetely not perfect but it's something.

Thank to @brianhaner for the blues masterclass
I’d love any and all feedback on this. If you see anything other than what I’ve mentioned in the video please feel free to voice that as well. I’ll note, I am still working on the palm mutes. I think I’m doing pretty good for the most part, but I do have some oopsies occasionally now 😆
