    Yo guys!!! On episode 186 of Weekend Wankshop, Uncle Ben Eller here is gonna learn you one of my favorite solos in Megadeth history, Symphony of Destruction, as played by the amazing Marty Friedman!
    This solo is covered in Marty's style. The bends, the arpeggio use, the dirty blues licks... its all here. In this lesson you'll learn some of his signature habits as well as a little but about the implied harmony that the Dave's are holding down in the back.
    This is a challenging solo with a lot of bad tabs out there, so hopefully this one will clear everything up and get you ripping! Less clickin', more pickin' !!!!

      Yupper, for nostalgia, I go watch the TOS vidjya once in a while with my step mom Becky (she says hey btw, gross), TOS would be great! Ride the Lightning (moar great chord following arpegimoes), AJfA (that F#m wah section), Save Yourself from MSG, Because MF'nS! Sad but True... etc.. carry on, and quit texting Becky back... it gives her hope.. :(

    @martysnarf 4 ปีที่แล้ว +31

    God damn man... the insight behind the concepts that Marty uses here are arguably more valuable than the actual solo itself. Thanks so much for this continued exemplary work, Ben. I really appreciate it.

    Wow! Best I’ve seen it played (next to Marty himself) and even better job breaking it down. Thanks so much.

    Each note is gold in Marty Friedman solos!!!

  • @MKettunen
    @MKettunen 6 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    This is how you teach a solo! I love how you explained also the context of the licks and not only the notes.
    I've tried to learn this for ages but that "tricky part" in the end still kicks my ass.

  • @pilotamurorei
    @pilotamurorei 6 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    This solo is insane, and when you play it slow, you can hear the enka influences in the note choices he made (Enka is old Japanese music from decades ago that still has a following among older Japanese people). It's actually showing how far back he was into Japanese music.

    • @pilotamurorei
      @pilotamurorei 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      And no, I'm not saying he uses the Japanese scale patterns to do his solos. Specifically, he adds notes within the chords that would make it sound very Enka-like. At full speed you can't tell, but when played slowly the sound is DISTINCTLY Japanese. The notes he chose within the solo were very intentional as he wanted to make the solo sound japanese without quite sounding Japanese to a regular listener.

  • @jademonolith

    Been at this for the last 8 hours lol. Your video is one of the best in explaining the breakdown of the solo. Man those shifting arpeggios are something else.

  • @mikeholbrook8309
    @mikeholbrook8309 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I am not at this level of playing yet. Way too fast for me. With your breakdown, explanation and time on my part practicing I feel I could I can accomplish this solo. Thank you so much.

  • @cscott8182
    @cscott8182 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Duda! I've learned so much from all of your videos I'm still trying to comprehend the influx of info. I wish I was like #5 from Short Circuit. "Need Input" reads books etc. knows everything in seconds. You're a great teacher with a sense of humor. I must have watched your intro to "shred pentatonics" a few dozen times. "Today I will play a hot minor pentatonic lick using alternate picking, yes" Hilarious. It has happened to me!

  • @billyhughes9776
    @billyhughes9776 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I love watching your lessons then realizing that I don't have the patience (or skill) to actually play the piece. Keeps me grounded and my ego in check. Thanks Uncie Ben.

    Great lesson uncle. Those arpeggios after the pull offs have stumped. Practice them as I watch tv to get my finger-memory to get there. One of my favorite channels.

  • @bobbyrevell
    @bobbyrevell 6 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Well Ben, this is the most accurate rendition of this solo I’ve heard and the only one with the feel necessary to sound perfect. That is a fact.

    I've seen a lot of Symphony Of Destruction solo lessons on TH-cam and I can say for sure that this is THE BEST one. The whole thing played at normal speed at the beginning of the video is so accurate that it almost felt like it is played from the original track. Nice job! Just subscribed to your channel.

  • @MyGuitartime
    @MyGuitartime ปีที่แล้ว

    I follow a few channels on TH-cam for the solo lessons, but this is honestly the best one on TH-cam. Can't follow the rhythm on the others, but the way you teach it makes it so clear! (Also, all the rest don't sound right!)

  • @Chris-w4j
    @Chris-w4j 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Most of that is spot on correct.
    The ascending minor6 arpeggio run he uses all down picks and rushes the 2nd and 3rd note a little. When he slides up he rushes down pauses at the 12 fret before the flutter of hammer on and pull offs and does pick the 12 fret one more time before sliding up to the last inversion. Which he starts with an up pick and doubles the up pick on both the 18th and 15th fret of the e string. Really gets underneath of the string so it vibrates to and from the Pick up and kinda chirps with some fingers touching the string producing semi harmonics. (More marty isms I call chirps)
    The evil blues madness lick he slides down from 14-13 (adter the bend) then slides down and back up into starting the lick.
    The last and final blues lick,
    He sweeps up into it all, even after each bend he sweeps across the b 13 and e 12 and pauses. That was all wrong in this lesson video. Other then that.
    Great work. 99%
    Marty is REALLY technical and very difficult to transcribe.

  • @ddivill
    @ddivill 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Fantastic analysis/breakdown of this Marty classic! The position-shift chicanery of his playing at break-neck tempos is defo one of the most challenging aspects of a lot of his solos. Thanks UB!

  • @fullsent

    Yes. I have been working on this forever based on your last video. Now to redo it with this one as some parts just felt plain weird.

  • @steveomedia
    @steveomedia 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Loved it. Great breakdown. I since have remanipulated some of the licks incorporating them into my guitar neck real estate. There's a few gems in there that I never used and have opened up more highway to drive. Thanks Big Ben! Steve-o

  • @dehypnotizer

  • @Shornetastic
    @Shornetastic ปีที่แล้ว

    I know this is an old video, but I wanted to mention that Marty has stated in a few interviews (can't remember which one) that he would use fret wraps during solo overdub takes. He says that due to his unique picking posture, sometimes the strings that aren't being played would ring out and mess up the recording. This is probably why that open D in the beginning of the solo sounds like a dead note. Thanks for the great tutorial!

  • @mltndeal5120
    @mltndeal5120 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome 👍. I tried learning from guitar tablitures but it didn't make sense. But TH-cam videos are awesome to learn guitar. Thanks for the video. Folks watching you can learn by practicing over and over and it becomes muscle memory so to speak. Anyone can learn guitar these days. Back in the 80s and 90s we tried to teach ourselves guitar looking at guitar tabs. TH-cam videos are awesome.

    You are such a good teacher :) I have been trying for ages to even get an in-road to this damn lead and not managed it - simply put because I was trying to play it with scales! And you explained it so well, particularly with showing his use of notes of the chord undermeath. Will still take me ages to get even close to the speed of the original, but I'll have fun trying :D

    Good job Ben. I love your « explanation » of Marty’s choice and way of thinking. Here I have a challenge : Lucretia solo, with your point of view for the explanations of course! This one is insane and really more complex in the choice of notes I find. Hope you will maybe do it one day :)
