How to play Death: key, chords and progression

These are Death chords by Avenged Sevenfold on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Death by Avenged Sevenfold keeps coming home to F♯ major (six sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯, E♯). You need 17 chords: F#, Bm, C#, E#dim/B, D#m, F#aug/D, F#/C#, G#, B, A#, A#/G# and D#7/C# and 5 more.

Most of the song cycles through F# – Bm – C# – E#dim/B (I – iv – V – vii° in F♯ major). In solfa, that is doh – fah – soh – te. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 1st fret and play the shapes F, Bbm, C, Edim, Dm, Faug, G, Bb, A, D7 (47% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 7% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
