Titan by Jason Richardson. It’s not my favorite song of his, but the speed. My goodness. I always end up checking my KZread settings to make sure it is on normal speed when I watch it.

I think what you meant to say about the solo is that every note has its place and purpose. Every idea moves flawlessly to another, both rhythmically, harmonically, and thematically. This speaks to how much Syn has evolved as a guitar player and a musician. IMHO it is one of his best solos, ever.

He has notes I don’t have…. That’s not fair😂😂😂 I would not even attempt to play Polyphia…. I’ve been playing guitar for over 20 years and have been playing various instruments for 45 years…. You made me laugh out loud several times 😁

I want to thank you for this excellent tutorial for this great song. It is the first time that I find someone who explains step by step the exact position of the fingers, naming the corresponding notes and chords and with the exact take to be able to see up close how you play the guitar. For those of us who are beginners like me, it is an extraordinary help. Thank you very much!!

@The Guitar Explorium Hello! You strike me (despite never having heard you play) as an intelligent musician, based on your comments.

Funny cause the first time I listened to this album I felt the Pink Floyd vibes in it. What I love about this album. It brings together people that have quite an extensive list of different bands of all parts of music genres. Most people I’ve see and discussed in his album with really have a taste for everything without being a snob.

Tim used to do most everything hybrid picking, except sometimes in the studio. Best of both worlds. It improved my playing a lot. I'm not great finger style, I'm not great picking, but combining the two I could keep up with harder songs than I could before.

Speaking of the album, Life is but a Dream, if you have not heard it yet, the style descends through the ages as you listen from start to finish. My first impression of the album occurred while I was shifting through my grandfather’s penny collection. The beginning of the album was as expected of A7X, heavy and intuitive, yet familiar and invigorating. Towards the midway point, they start shifting gears in order to create a timely transition into a less is more theme. But as I heard the transition unfolding, I was drawn to the hundreds of 1960s and 1970s pennies I was sorting. I was held in a state of disbelief that the songs of the album had traveled back through time just as I was admiring the effect of time in the present with the penny dates trailing back to the early 1930s. The experience I had with the album was highly unique in the environment and setting I had chosen to listen. Which brings me to my point; if you haven’t listened to the full album, you should definitely record a long video reaction of the album in its entirety! This way the album is viewed as its intended whole and we, your current and new audience members, get to see a brand new perspective of this wonderful Avenged Sevenfold album. Fair warning, there are some songs with some explicit lyrics and themes, and I am unaware of any PA versions of the tracks in question, so some post editing maybe required. Either way, Synyster Gates is a genius on guitar and his hand is relevant throughout most of the album. Another song I’d like to see you react to and dissect would have to be Solitaire Unraveling by Mushroomhead. The band states that it’s a song that will carry a different meaning each time you listen to it. I’d say that in terms of music videos, Solitaire Unraveling and Nobody share very similar themes. Keep on rocking! Composing! And sharing your talent and experience with us! From a fellow former marching band bass drummer to a teacher; Mark Time, March! We’re doing the time warp… Again!

When you make the music teacher have the WTF face. It's a very simple pop r&b chord progression with the most amazing accents thrown everywhere. It's that simple chord progression that hooks you. Even if you don't understand or get the rest, your mind hears that pop progression we all know.
