Re: a nice solo by synyster!
Most of that was just like... the set of notes played in a different order, with some off notes, no real structure, and some slop thrown in.
I mean... no offense or anything, but if you're going to take a solo spot, you gotta do it well.

On further studying, that bastard had a string dampener, too! No excuses, now!

Re: a nice solo by synyster!
Man...I totally respect anyone doing this for a living and carving out thier own path...
But in my humble opinion...that wasn't anything special..nor even executed with any precision. Which is cool...except that the lack of precision wasn't made up for with soul or feeling.
It was like a under average bar band solo.
I certainly hope that our youth have better guitar heros...honestly.
Respect to the band...
Perhaps he was having an off-night. But I do believe he needs to practice.
Much Respect,

Re: a nice solo by synyster!
Weak! I've never seen their guitarist pull off a good tight solo live. I've never even heard the whole band sound decent live period. I wonder how long it took him to pull of his solos in the studio?
... listen guys you're way overbudget on the sessions here. "yeah well synester can't pull off his pile of sweeps he puts in every song so we have to step input it note by note"

Re: a nice solo by synyster!
I liked it!
but yeah it was a little sloppy. THis dude shure has some serious skills. He's also quite young still so his best stuff has yet to come!
I've seen them live and synyster was ripping it up, his tone was incredible. Yup he's one of my guitar heroes.
What do you guys think is wrong with his tone? I thought it sounded pretty good.

most of the bar bands here in south dakota are country pickers, but they could still eat this guy alive.

Re: a nice solo by synyster!
+1 to his playing to be on the sloppy side
he's definately got fast hands but to me it sorta seemed like it had the feel of going into work on a monday after a long weekend....no energy to speak of.

Re: a nice solo by synyster!
Wow. I can't believe everyone knocking the playing. I know there's plenty of sick players here... but come on, how many of us could do better?
I'll admit synyster probably isn't the best out there and he's no Vai/Petrucci/Satriani... but we've seen videos of Van Halen playing worse than that... so lets give some credit where credit is due
I thought that was sick.
Oh and PS: what the heck is a string dampener? I've never heard of that in my life someone clue me in and what it's used for.

Re: a nice solo by synyster!
String dampener is basically the old sock trick, tying fabric around the neck at the 1st fret to keep extra strings from ringing. It's an old recording technique, but some people have applied it to live playing... In all honesty, anywhere besides a recording session, it's cheating, to me.
If you look up top, he has one of those sweatband/wristband things, and he pushes it back above the nut at the very end of the video.
And FWIW, I think I could do better

Worst guitar solo i've ever heard.
And yes, that really looks like a pair of invaders to me. Poor pickups.

Jeff: I see what you're talking about. I'm going to have to give that a try see if it actually works. And I;d have to hear some clips to believe it, although I know you're quite the player Either way, synyster smokes me, and I don't talk junk about people better than me so I'll stay out of this
