@tomshreds: What a beast Synyster Gates is 🦇 There's a wild self-confidence in his playing that makes it stand out. He goes for ideas that shouldn't work, but somehow he pulls them off every time. I think the real surprise comes in the live footage, when you see him nail it all effortlessly, with that low strap and all. These axes are cool too. Look great, feels great and sound great (although I prefer the original Invader pickups over the newer Syn ones). Both the custom & the standard feel great to shred on. I even used it for a cover band gig once. The unusual body shape means that the hardest part was finding a softcase that would fit it. What other Avenged Sevenfold should I do? Let me know in the comments 🎸 #AvengedSevenfold #A7X #ShepherdofFire #SynysterGates #Synner #GuitarCover #GuitarSolo #GuitarShred #ShredGuitar #GuitarPlayer
Gates is a great guitarist. He's probably my favorite soloist of the last 20 years

Hey, listen, Tom,
I'm a HUGE fan of yours. I love your Van Halen work so very much, and it's helped me a long way as well.
As someone studying syn's work and style for a decade, he uses at min .80 picks and heavy bottom light top strings, usually .10 guage on the high e. It's actually a really important factor on nailing his sound.
I hope this helps you as much as you've helped me.

Idk if it's the effects Synystee has at his disposal or if it's a skill level but his sweeps are so clean, just feathered together where you don't know where one note stops and the other starts.

Kinda irritates me how smooth and effortless your alternate picks and sweeps look. Good job man!
