Artist Study: Synyster Gates & Chaotic Soloing
In this Artist Study I want to talk about how Synyster Gates Writes a guitar solo. there are several elements I believe shape his guitar solos and sit at the core of what makes his guitar solos so great, at least, to me ears. A lot of his solos are very crazy and chaotic but there is a method to the madness.
IMPORTANT EDIT: I was given feedback by Reddit users on the Avenged Sevenfold SubReddit on this video and the segment about most A7X's songs being in the major scale has been removed. The reason for this is that it is simply not accurate information. It was a mistake I made and have learned from.I want to do better for the next time. I want to apologize to everyone for this mistake! I value and appreciate your feedback! Enjoy the rest of the video :)

Luminous Dark From It was probably just the choice of using the Scream solo (very audibly harmonic minor) as the example right after talking about soloing over a major scale. Still a great video. Syn uses natural minor/Aeolian mode solos pretty frequently, which is a mode from the major scale intervals, so you weren’t implicitly wrong haha!
