Notes

Studio recording, 2013 era. Synyster Gates' signature Schecter guitar and Hellwin amp were explicitly used for the Hail to the King album, including the solo section. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the solo. No explicit pedalboard details for the studio session; most effects are likely post-amp or from pedals commonly used by Synyster Gates.

Difficulty

The solo features advanced techniques such as sweep picking, fast alternate picking, and rapid position changes, requiring a high level of technical proficiency and accuracy.
