Famous Face From Orange County: Zacky Vengeance

 

This week's Famous Face From Orange County is Zachary James Bakery, better known as Zacky Vengeance. He was born December 11, 1981 in Huntington Beach, California. He currently resides in Laguna Hills, CA. Zacky is the rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist for the American metal/rock band Avenged Sevenfold.

Despite playing the guitar left handed, Vengeance recalls the first guitar he learned to play on was actually a right-handed his parents had bought him for his thirteenth birthday. He learned by playing upside-down, watching his favorite bands and other people he knew who played, and practiced as much as he could. He would also read each edition of Guitar World cover to cover, learning the tabs of the songs published there and watching the professionals perform them until he could play them.
