Synyster Gates - The Best Modern Guitarist
Brian Elwin Haner was born on the 7th of July better known as Synyster Gates which is his stage name, he is the backup vocalist and the lead guitarist for Avenged Sevenfold, an American heavy metal/hard rock band. He attended the Musicians Institute situated in Hollywood after attending 2 different schools in California. Even though he did not graduate from this institute, he had music flowing through his veins. Prior to joining Musicians Institute he had taught himself the rudiments of music by reading books and viewing music videos.
Since his father was guitar player and also a songwriter who had played with Frank Zappa, this comes across a surprise. After attending the Institute for roughly six months, Synyster, who prefers to use Bogner amps and Schecter guitars, received a phone call from The Rev of Avenged Sevenfold and was asked if he was willing to join that group as their lead guitarist. Opting to pursue the career of a studio musician, Synyster forsake his education and joined Avenged Sevenfold.
He had joined this group when he was just 18 years of age towards the end of the year 1999. This was immediately before the recording of Avenged Sevenfold's 1st album titled `Sounding the Seventh Trumpet'. Synyster featured on the EP of Avenged Sevenfold, `Warmness of the Soul' and also on the re-release of the first album of that group. Synyster also plays the piano for certain selected songs from time to time. The name Synyster Gates was thought of by The Rev during the course of a drunken drive. Some of the members of his band alleged that Synyster had often thought of himself as too good a player for that type of band, but these thoughts were brushed aside by Synyster.
This famous guitarist, along with The Rev had also played for Pinkly Smooth, a metal band. Both of them finally left this group since they wanted to devote all their time behind Avenged Sevenfold. Synyster Gates has won quite a number of awards like the Total Guitar Magazine's guitarist of the year award in 2006 and also the `Young Shredder' award in 2006. He has also featured in guest appearances in music videos like Dirty Little Girl (Burn Halo) and `The River' (Good Charlotte). This famous guitarist is also endorsed by Schecter guitars and there are two different versions of his signature model. - 23815
