    Schecter Syn Custom NT

    That's the model from the Making the Self Titled album. You can also see it (Or an Alt model hard tale) In the Burn Halo - Dirty Little Girl music video during his solo. If I remember correctly He uses this exact model in the beginning of the Making of Hail To The King video. But otherwise that...

    Gig

    Remember to stretch thoroughly before your gig. Drink lots of caffeine and energy drinks prior to the gig to get the jitters out. Also, treat the gig like a big practice session and be extroverted to not worry about mistakes : ) Good luck and Merry Christmas : )

    Strings

    10-52 is the way to go. It is the best for being able to bend but also they are not very floppy allowing you to solo with scales and sweeping very easily. Hope this helps : )

    How do you get your guitar tones

    Personally I dial my tone based on the pickups I use. I use SD Invaders (You all know where this is going) With boosted treble in my amp Treble - 10 Mid - 5 ish Bass - 6 ish The boosted Mids of the Invader mean I can push the treble so I can cut through and mix. I slightly raise the bass though...

    A Synyster Tale

    Agmar always was fond of the Smell of Cinnamon as it reminded him of his favorite drink from Ye Old' Pinkly Smooth tavern. However, this did not put him at ease as the bar tender whos name was Fiction was a close friend who gave his life for him. He shuttered while walking among the graves...

    Guitar strings

    Whatever you like the most man. Personally I use 10-54 for drop D but you can use 10-52 for standard. The heavier the string the easier it is to solo.

    Case/Bag for Syn/Avenger guitars

    Hey! Coffin Cases work the best in my opinion :) They are a very fair price for what you get!

    A Minor pentatonic solves all problems.

    How would one go about getting an A7X style to my playing and writing?

    Brother - I have been chasing the A7x feel and sound. I have found listening to a lot of Danny Elfman and Classical piano and large thematic movie soundtracks help my creative flow. For the last two years I have been almost exclusively listening to A7X and I still need more. Let me tell you...

    Strings for drop tuning.

    They are great! I use them. Sometimes I like using a 58-60 for going lower in tuning.

    Happy Birthday Syn!! : )

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY SYN! Thank you for being such a great influence and person to look up to. I think I speak for all of us including myself when I say that you and Avenged have pulled us out of some very difficult times in our lives and instead gave us inspiration and a peace of mind. Thank you for...

    how is Syn so good at the Nightmare solo?

    All musicians no matter what level they are at struggle with writing and practicing. In Brians case, he practices the certain parts the he struggle with until that section is down. Many musicians struggle to play their own solos live (Like Beast and the Harlot haha) because they are very weird...
