  1. Avenged Sevenfold "So Far Away" guitar solo.

    Avenged Sevenfold "So Far Away" guitar solo.

    Who needs a sustainic pickup?! Anybody who wants to do like half the stuff there is to do. You can't play the beginning of this solo without a sustainic and the harmonic effects. Period.

    Syn's Etudes pentatonics all day everyday! Start with pentatonic 1 and go at a comfortable pace and slowly work your way up! For example, number V is a fun one and easy once you get the hang of the pentatonics all together!

    The solo was so well played (especially the sweeps) but FYI the sound and video aren't synced exactly...Not sure if you missed that or aren't that much of a stickler but thought I'd mention it incase you didn't know but like I said very well playedd!!

    Sweep Picking I

    Oh ok I gotcha. So the triplets, eighth notes and so forth... What do you struggle most with? Presumably the transitions from lower frets to higher frets like in the last time through (4th)

    Good job broski! Tip: When you bend try and use all your fingers on the string and use the strength of your WRIST to bend the string rather than your fingers....your fingers will tire quite quickly if you use them to bend rather than using your wrist!

    How do you practice it? There are multiple strategies to use for efficiently learning these without burning yourself out too quickly.

    Sweep Picking I

    Hey, You use your pinky for the 16th fret I'm understanding but then index for 12th fret E string and middle finger for 12th fret B string? It doesn't make sense that your hand would move MORE when you use index & middle finger as opposed to just your index. Do you have a video or something?

    Some Thoughts I'd Like To Share

    Sounds like I've missed a lot of stuff during the last 6+ months as I've been MIA... I've personally never understood why people would rip on others, especially people who are looking for tips and help.... I'm always honored and flattered if somebody (normally outside of SGS) asked how I...
