In the June 2008 issue of Guitar World they’ve included the bass tab to “Almost Easy” and in the July 2008 issue of the 50 Fastest Shredders Synyster Gates comes in thanks to signature song “Eternal Rest” off of the bands album “Waking The Fallen”. Here’s the paragraph from the magazine:

“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.”
