Seize the Day Avenged Sevenfold
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seize the Day - Avenged Sevenfold ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: [travis] email: syn_gates_punk14@msn.com *This is the complete official solo for Seize the Day, and the ending solo.* This is my first tab I'm posting up on this site. Hope it works out for you. Tuning: D A D G B E Legend: ...= palm mute. B= bend. [ ]= what the bend should sound like. kb= hold that bend while playing that note. gb[]= raise that bend another step to make it sound like the note in the brackets. ~= vibrato / ring. \/= slides. ( )= ghost note, or note on a hold bend being played. h=hammer on. p= pull off. ah= pinch harmonic. x= muted string. tr= trill. T= Tap. This solo contains a lot of bends so practice on these bends. Good luck.

Like a wave like motion. Listen to this part of the song to help you out on those bends.

Keep your fret finger on the small # as you tap and release the high note. It takes some practice to get this process down. It's almost like some Eddie Van Halen solos. [++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++]Guitar 1 does the Tapping Riff one more time. [++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++] After the other guitars do their riffs, guitar 1 does these fast sweep picks: In order to do these, you should know how to sweep pick, and alternative picking. Also, you should know appreggios. This is all played by Synyster Gates.
