Per il secondo anno consecutivo, Syn entra a far parte di questa speciale classifica stilita da Guitar World e comprendente i 50 chitarristi più veloci di tutti i tempi. Nel dettaglio, quest’ anno si è piazzato al 13 posto per il solo eseguito in Eternal Rest

SIGNATURE SONG: “Eternal Rest”
ALBUM: Waking the Fallen (AVENGED SEVENFOLD)

It’s easy for critics to dismiss Avenged Sevenfold because they look like a bunch of emo-punk kids who raided Axl Rose’s wardrobe, but no other band has done as much to introduce Generation Y to the shock and awe of a brilliant guitar solo.

Justin Timberlake may be bringing sexy back, but Synyster Gates brought almighty shred to the forefront with his numerous extended no-holds-barred solos on A7X’s albums. A GIT graduate, Gates is a surprisingly versatile guitarist influenced by players ranging from Django to Dimebag.
