Notes

Studio recording for 'Bat Country' (2005, City of Evil album). Synyster Gates played the solo using his signature Schecter with a Dimebucker in the bridge, into a Bogner Uberschall head. No evidence of live/tour gear substitutions for the studio solo section.

Difficulty

The solo is highly technical, requiring advanced speed, sweep picking, and precise articulation at a fast tempo, making it suitable only for expert-level players.
