Pentatonic VII - Syn's Etudes - Synyster Gates School

I posted this etude a month or two back but I wanted to repost with another picking angle and a much cleaner and more effortless take.
Damn this is is really good. Are you still using the gator 2.0's?

Funny story...I have been fluctuating between the 2 gator grips and the picks on avenged sevenfolds store (not sure how thick they are but its gotta be between .5 and .7 mm haha. I like them both equally tbh
 
Is that around the world.. this is the pattern i wanna learn next.

Yes sir! Well worth the time and effort to memorize the tabs because it is such a great exercise for mastering economy picking as well as really challenging your hands to make generally larger stretches than your average scale normally has

I see. I ask because I used to use the gators and studied Syn's technique a lot when I was first learning how to play fast. I used them for several months before finding new picks that instantly gave me speed gains over the gators, and made me wonder why I even got them in the first place lol... it's just my 2 cents. But I thought I'd share them with you just in case you are open minded to possible better shred tools

Happy Shredding!
 

HAHA I really actually appreciate that man! I'm never closed minded about a possibility of improving my shredding! I dare I say I think I'll order a pack today...what's the worst thing that happens? I don't like them? Then I will know!
I'll try to post a video of what I think of them when they come!

Have a good one my friend
