Notes

Studio recording, 2005 (City of Evil album). Gear confirmed for this era and album, not live rig. No explicit evidence of pedals used on this specific solo, but high-gain amp and genre suggest minimal pedal use except for possible solo effects.

Difficulty

The solo features fast runs, advanced picking techniques, expressive bends, and legato passages typical of Synyster Gates' style, making it challenging for most players.
