Notes

Studio recording, 2016-2017 era. Guitar and amp confirmed for 'The Stage' album cycle; Synyster Gates Custom-S was his primary guitar for this album. No evidence of live rig or alternate amp for the studio solo. Pickup selection inferred as bridge for solo clarity and attack.

Difficulty

The solo features extremely fast passages, sweep picking, tapping, and advanced phrasing, requiring expert-level technique and precision.
