			     "Synyster Gates Solo" --- Avenged Sevenfold
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: [travis]


Tuning: Drop D (D A D G B E) low to high
        [You don't have to tune to D,
         but obviously Syn tunes to D
         all the time.]


*This tab is for the awesome "Sweep picking solo" Synyster Gates shows
you on a video on youtube. It's the video were Syn shows you a couple
of tips, on how to play like him. Some of the vids are based on dive bombs,
sweep picking, Beast and the Harlot intro, and soloing strategies.

*Search "Synyster Gates lesson," on youtube.com. Click on the vid that
says "Sweep Picking Lesson." The vid is from "Total Guitar Television."


**********************************

Key: F Major (F G A Bb C D E F) 



*Most of Avenged Sevenfold's songs are in the key of 
 F Major (F G A Bb C D E F), and this "solo" is in 
 the key of F Major.

*The only songs of Avenged Sevenfold that are in different
 keys are: "Burn It Down" C Major (C D E F G A B C), but 
 for the Intro Duel, and the Main Riff, but when it goes into
 the Chorus, it's back to F Major. "Dear God:" G Major (G A B C D E F# G).
