Breakdown of Syn's flawless sweep picking technique and how he does it. Hope this helps some of you who struggle with sweeping or picking in general.
Picking advice on Adrian Smith’s solo from “The Trooper”. What’s the best way to pick progressively faster licks? I show how I do it but they’re may be an easier or better way. Up for any advice and help to get up to speed.
The track, which was originally recorded for 2013's "Hail to the King" album, now include on the streaming version of "Diamonds in the Rough" (CD version released in 2008) which is released on February 7. Have fun 🤘🏽

Ciphers

A bit of a song I’ve been working on called “Ciphers”. The full song is written out, some of the parts are just tricky and I don’t have them 100% down yet so I strung this together from the main parts of the verse and chorus :)
UPDATE: As promised, I did this to a backing track after some more practice. Simple Man solo with backing track. The backing track is the bass and drum recording from the original album recording.
Weekend project. CAUTION: UNDER CONSTRUCTION-both solos from “The Trooper” by the mighty #IronMaiden, missed/extra notes, bad timing and all. #practice #guit...
Here’s a riff for The Synyster Gates Guitar website :) Im playing through a Dean ML 79 into a 50 watt evh 6l6. It's inspired by Jacky Vincent from Falling in Reverse and Cry Venom. I'm thinking of upgrading the neck pickup. Hmmm... anyone have any experience with the Syn neck pickups.

Tutorial on dive bombs and natural harmonics
Here is my participation to the riff section challenge! I chose to make a kind of tutorial and synthesis about what I learned from doing dive bombs without a Floyd Rose. I hope that you will like it!
Rhythm guitar cover, manage to flub the HOPO part a few times. DOH!
Stepping out of my comfort zone and trying some lead improv. Usually not something I dip into very often, mainly due to lack of scale knowledge, but the only way to getter better is by doing. Hope you enjoy it. Backing track - https://youtu.be/I7LmHILR9AQ
Hey! This is my instrumental song, tell my please what do you think about this track ;)

Gypsy jam II

I'm getting better with the floating wrist. I love how practice works😃
Here is a tasty sweep lick to get you 3 and 5 string shapes into gear! Tabs in the description!

Gypsy jam II

I'm getting a bit more comfortable with the floating wrist so the backingtracks are a bit faster. Sweeping can still be A bit tricky since I can't mute strings with my picking hand anymore.
My analysis for polythene Pam from one of the medleys on Abbey Road.
Buried alive solo!

Buried alive solo!

definitely a 2 year old video but ive never posted an avenged solo on here! And im pretty sure i played a couple wrong arps in there but You live and learn right?
Started working on Simple Man solo today. I’ll upload a better video when my fingers aren’t ready to bleed and I can play it to tempo with a backing track lol.
First time playing some blues to a backing track, using the c major pentatonic scale. Hope it's not too boring for you to watch but I think it has some decent moments.

Demo song

I've uploaded this song before but I've changed the sound. I haven't rerecorded it and there still isn't a bass in it. I wonder if it's better?
