Tuning: Drop D (D A D G B E) low to high
[You don't have to tune to D,
but obviously Syn tunes to D
all the time.]
*This tab is for the awesome "Sweep picking solo" Synyster Gates shows
you on a video on youtube. It's the video were Syn shows you a couple
of tips, on how to play like him. Some of the vids are based on dive bombs,
sweep picking, Beast and the Harlot intro, and soloing strategies.
says "Sweep Picking Lesson." The vid is from "Total Guitar Television."

Key: F Major (F G A Bb C D E F)
*Most of Avenged Sevenfold's songs are in the key of
F Major (F G A Bb C D E F), and this "solo" is in
the key of F Major.
*The only songs of Avenged Sevenfold that are in different
keys are: "Burn It Down" C Major (C D E F G A B C), but
for the Intro Duel, and the Main Riff, but when it goes into
the Chorus, it's back to F Major. "Dear God:" G Major (G A B C D E F# G).
