Notes

Studio recording, 2013. Synyster Gates' signature Schecter guitar and Hellwin amp were used for the 'Hail to the King' album, as confirmed by interviews and rig rundowns. Clean tone settings are referenced from published amp setting guides for Synyster's clean channel. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the clean solo section.

Difficulty

The clean solo requires intermediate technique, with attention to articulation and dynamic control, but does not involve advanced shredding or complex chord voicings.
