Its a weird solo made up of cromatic, diminished, minor, major scales to give it a crazy out of key sound, along with the phrasing, tremolo bar techniques, string skipping etc etc its definitely Synyster’s best solo on the City of Evil album.
I play Zacky’s guitar line during the harmony which is the lead guitar line,synyster’s is the harmony line and thats why i don’t play his line.
The arpeggio part is NOT sweep picked, synyster and Zacky alternative pick it on the studio recording,I sweep the D minor arpeggio because I feel more comfortable playing it that way,and the next arpeggio I alternative pick because its easier to pick it. Again I play Zacky’s arpeggio line because it is the lead guitar line.
The majority was tabbed by synyster gates.

Sorry but I don’t have a tab anymore,your also hearing an instrumental guitar recording(not the actual version) that I got off my friend,its not actually the original your hearing.
This solo only took an hour or two to learn,
its straightforward enough but fun to play.
