Synth death 

A notoriously difficult section of the Guitar Hero 3 chart "Through the Fire and Flames" by power metal band DragonForce, beginning approximately 3 minutes and 50 seconds into the track and ending with an instrumental bridge. The section is characterized by fast arpeggiating notes that will usually make or break an FC (full combo) of the chart. Synth death is usually done by more skilled players through a method known as "tapping", but can be an extreme point of contention for those who are newer or less experienced at Guitar Hero.
My TTFAF FC run was going smoothly up until synth death made me lose my streak and fail.
