Easy way to play higher octave in guitar solos?
I was playing some avenged sevenfold solos (im getting quite good, technically, my music theory is crap) and noticed it didn't sound quite as cool as it should, then I noticed that ever obnoxious "8va" is above it, trouble is I'm playing on the highest notes of the high E string, I'm guessing they're playing it on a 7 or twelve string or something? Or is this what that odd little blue "capo" think that I bought four years ago and forgot about is for? When I put it on it doesn't change anything but open notes.
I've noticed it in a lot of other solos and it really bugs me.
Thanks in advance!

You need an octave shifter pedal. Unfortunately, this could cost you a little bit, but that is how you play notes that are not on the range of the fretboard.
