Chords for Guitar Center Master Class with Synyster Gates

[Em] A lot of things that I like to listen to extra, or _ extracurricularly, that is.
I'm [C] big into jazz stuff, a lot of classical, although I play [Am] very little, if not [B] no classical.
But I play a lot [C] of jazz.
I really [Ab] like to use [Eb] different [E] cool chord progressions and chords and stuff
_ and [C] kind of gel it together with a _ _ [Am] _
more simpler [E] melody or something more [Ab] bluesy.
If there's a lot going on underneath, you can do a lot less, [E] and it says a lot more.
[Eb] As my dad calls it, where is he?
[D] There's that guy.
He calls it creating your own [A] weather, and I think it's [B] a brilliant term.
So always create your own [Am] weather.
_ If you're only [E] chugging on one chord, it's great to throw everything at it.
It's great to throw all the weird scales, all the weird bends, all the weird [Eb] nuances.
You can do anything. _

_ _ _ _ [D] _ First, I'd like to just talk a little bit about practicing,
[Am] because _ [G] [F] as of recent, I really got back [B] into [A] practicing a bunch of new stuff
[Bm] and just kind of getting your head [F] out of your own ass with touring [Em] and all that kind of stuff.
And having a moment to [E] breathe [Bb] away from a [Eb] Bench 7-fold,
you come and sit at home [E] for a little bit, and you're like,
Oh [Em] my God, I play guitar.
It's not just about this [E] or that.
So I started playing a lot, [Ebm]
and it really gave me a renaissance to my passion for guitar,
[Em] and I just started taking a look at all these guys doing a bunch of different crazy [Gb] shit.
_ [Am] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I [D] found that jam tracks [B] are essential.
[Eb] It really [Em] gets your mind going, and it really sharpens the wits.
_ And it's all [B] about applying these new things, and it's cool because
in the confines and [D] comfort of your own home,
you can really practice this stuff.
It doesn't matter who's watching.
_ [B] You can fuck up all over the [D] place, and [C] you're good. _ _
[Am] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _
[Am] _ _ [B] _ _ Don't forget about the chords, because [Am] they're that foundation.
That's [E] your support.
It's going to really lift up and heighten what's [Em] happening under it.
It's actually a trick, sort of.
[E] And a lot of people [Eb] aren't in the metal and rock genre [E] playing blues scales like this.
And that's where I lean towards the great jazz and fusion [Ebm] guys like Frank Gambale.
And then there's Holdsworth, [E] Alan Holdsworth, who's the legato master.
And those guys are full of arpeggios and unbelievable melodic ideas.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] I _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ like to really [Bm] explore different types of things
and take [Gb] odd, [B] weird [E] jazz fusion type things
and different elements of different types of music
_ [B] _ and really integrate it into a band.
I [F] think it's [E] extremely important.
It'll always sound like a metal band.
It's [Gb] always going to come through [G] that filter.
Or whoever [B] _ _ [E] you are, or whoever you guys are collectively as a band,
kind of let that type of thing inspire [B] you.
