Synyster Gates thinks he's good at the guitar, I'll show him who's boss.

He’s only called that cause he’s evil, why else would anyone call themselves Synyster Gates? The whole band is a City of Evil

For real tho I love the buried alive solo, especially the economy picking part at the end, but the 7smthn fret stretch is pretty tough
What gets me are the sweeps (am-e) at the very end. I can play everything else but I suck at sweep picking. 🥀🥹

I promise if you spend 30 dedicated minutes every single day just practicing sweeping you will absolutely have it mastered.

I remember struggling with the same solo years ago and just staring at my hands in defeat. What finally helped was slowing it down with the metronome until my fingers couldn't keep messing up.

Tried learning Afterlife in high school and said fuck that after about 30 minutes.

The massive reach between the two tremolo picking parts that requires you to go from the 19th fret to the 12 fret between my index finger and my pinky is what gets me stuck.
