This is the best kind of lesson to find on youtube: just the whole song with the correct tabs running together. We don't need anyone explaining note by note, which fingers to use and blah blah.....just show me the freaking tabs right to the point.
@@mschecter0078 it’s really the tempo you have to make sure you’re keeping up with, to be fair this song is only difficult because of the speed they play it at, not saying it’s easy but it’s simple once you break this song down
Not only did you nail both solo's perfectly you even got the tone from the album Rust in Peace. This cover is hands down the best Holy Wars I've seen on TH-cam, simply majestic, well done. 10 out of 10 .
Dave is one of the greatest songwriters to ever life. The verse riff is ridiculous. Like how do you come up with that?! And sing at the same time! Sick cover btw
Yeah I've never even been into thrash or much metal in general but this is one of the most impressive guitar performances of all time imo. A pinnacle of using technicality the right way. A true masterpiece. I love MOP but by comparison, it still has some of the repetitiveness that Metallica is notorious for. It's far more complex and interesting than most of their post-AJFA stuff but it still has that verse chorus verse chorus solo verse chorus boring structure. (Imagine if Raining Blood was written by Metallica... It'd be 3x longer) If Dave wrote Holy Wars like MOP, it's riffs would be made into two songs and the total length would be twice the length of the original song.
I mean it's really not that different from the kind of riffs he came up with on Kill 'Em All. Fast Pentatonic-based riffs with hammer-on/pull-offs (which always makes it easier to play notes faster), with triplets hammered on the open E. Of course, everything is obvious in hindsight. Mustaine sure was an innovator on the instrument.
That's not how it works. There's a great video on what to do about live "mistakes" I think the channel is called "Guitar Mastery" or something. Mistakes are a mindset. If you do an unintended note, it's easy to correct and hide. It doesn't have to be a "mistake," it can just be an unintended ornamental note, which is a note that is exactly what it sounds like, something there for decoration played on the way to your main chord note or root note. It only becomes a mistake when you acknowledge it and let it interrupt your playing. Anyway, if you know your instrument, it really doesn't matter playing it perfectly to tabs. Improvisation is easy because you know and feel where the right notes will be anyway, you just do it without thinking.
@@UnchainedEruption To add, another factor is understanding the "skeleton" of every riff, understanding what notes in solos/riffs are indispensable and what notes are icing on the cake really help when playing. If you play every essential note on the downbeat you aren't playing the solo/riff "wrong", you played the structure, every other note is only there to make it sound better, of course what am saying doesn't imply you should skip notes, but when people screw up in live settings it's usually not noticed as long as it isn't an indispensable note. This especially works when learning a complicated solo, as long as you figure out what notes are the skeleton, you will understand faster.
I love Megadeth and I love Metallica, but this was the record (and song?) that opened my eyes to the fact that every Megadeth song is practically impossible to play and every Metallica song is very easy to play.
@@scottlambert9971 especially since Metallica loves long songs. I can't imagine how sore one's wrist would be after picking their way through Disposable Heroes.
If you include the Metallica solos..... both have practically the same solo difficulty level. In other hand, the Megadeth riffs are more difficult personally.
@@alejandrosanabria9845 This I don't actually agree with. Some of the solos in One and To Live is to Die for example are totally playable, even in Sanitarium if you're a solid player. Every Megadeth solo requires that you're an expert + player. Friedman uses some great and unique scales and Mustaine is just a speed demon. Kirk and James aren't as fast or flashy and they stay close to home with minor pentatonic solos
Can anybody tell me why these are different and actually sound better than the ones in the actual tab book !?!? This is driving me fuckin nuts I don’t know which to keep learning
The tab books aren’t always accurate. I think because they are published and sold on a book shelf, people take it as if the artist themselves tabbed it out/approved EVERY single note in the book and all that. The reality is that whoever is tabbing out these songs make human errors and before publishing, they are skimming the treble clef section rather than the tab section. Sharps and flats get mistaken because of this translating to wrong notes in the tab and phrases are often tabbed out in uncommon positions. Sometimes I wonder “is guitar this transcriber’s primary instrument”?
@@Mr.Tabs.Guitar.Lessons Dude first off thank you for your content and thanks for the reply !! I saw an interview recently where Dave demonstrates ALL Holy Wars riffs and he plays them exactly as you do , and thus, I’ve continued to learn from your video Thanks again man , much appreciated 🤟🏽
I've never gotten bored this song since 1990. Makes me excited every time I hear it. It's also exciting to see somebody like this guy playing this song well.
Good job dude, you actually played the main riffs correctly. Many people miss a few details and it doesn't sound quite right. I had to listen to the isolated tracks myself to understand a lot of it.
Your covers are flawless bro. Very helpful too! If you ever get the time and feel like it, please find it in your heart of hearts to do a Wake Up Dead cover! Thanks 😃
Still consider myself a beginner (I’ve only been playing for a year) and I’m so glad I discovered your channel so early. It’s helped me massively in learning some of my favourite songs and I’m just now taking the plunge into learning some of my favourite metal songs, Holy Wars being possibly my favourite metal song ever. Much appreciate the content sir🙏🏻🙏🏻
Seriously man thanks for doing this. You got it so perfectly dialed. Mind blown. I’ve been trying to work out this song for like a month now and this video has been an enormous help. This song is such a masterpiece
Jesus man... I've seen countless covers and lessons and no one ever gets everything completely right, especially the positions that Dave actually plays... This is like the most perfect cover/lesson I've seen. Amazing job dude. Your playing is super tight.
Having bought and worn out this album when it came out, I knew the guitar playing was awesome. Having had the muse descend and coming here to learn it, I learned something else. This is a brilliant piece of guitar writing! The subtle variations to the chord structures within the rhythms Is just nuanced, complex and amazing!
Omg ! Man !! you nailed every note ! Most of tabs and learning videos had tons of mistakes. They mostly can't true tabbed the verse part which is dave 's starting say the lyrics I meant 1:30-2:16 Thank you for ''true'' tabs. You made the history. This was insane crazy for metal video guitar learning archive.
@@Mr.Tabs.Guitar.Lessons sure thing. keep it up. im saving up for a PRS right now. about half there. metallica is my favorite band, just to let u know. i wish this wouldve existed when i was up and coming (been playing for about 25 years now). i learned from getting my hands on all the tab books i could find. almost no need to take lessons. i need to start practicing/learning more theory.
@@deathgrinderb3284 You and me both! I used to really appreciate those tab books and guitar world magazines in the 90's. They had the most accurate tabs. Never had lessons, just tab books! Theory will do you good man! Seek a local teacher, someone who really knows their stuff and learn how to apply scales, licks, etc to chord progressions. I know all these videos are like note for note or whatever, but I never get to stress how important it is to learn from the greats and integrate that with improvisation.
Yes definitely. This guy is an amazing guitarist. Didn't see or notice a wrong note or timing. Good stuff man. Be following you for sure. Us Metal Heads and guitarist know talent when we see it.🤘🤘
As someone who is struggling to eke my way through this song I can appreciate how difficult it is to play it clean. You absolutely nail it. Super impressed!
I said to my self “idk if I’ll ever learn how to play hotel Californias solo” today I’m about 75% done with the solo. Just need the end. And I wanted to learn this solo 🤣🤣🤣 what a time to be alive
this is just insane. I was playing it at x0.75, and when I decided I was ready for x1 I had to make sure I didn't accidentally choose x3 lmao. It will definitely take me some time to master this. Thank you! :D
experienced guitarist can see, that chord position at 0:25 while you are holding e chord on a whereas its g and f on e string, seems like you are running the backing track
At 0:23 , the tab at the bottom says to play a power chord on the and fret of the A string, but instead he plays the same power chord, just at the position of the 7th fret on the E string
Ugh. I Just picked up the Tab book for this album today after not dealing with it for almost a year. Now I have to unlearn what I just learned lol. I gotta say it's Very strange that this showed up as my 2nd recommended video. When I was practicing earlier today I was away from my phones. So it's not like TH-cam heard it and then recommended it. Either way another Great video🤘🏾
Man this sucks, I’ve been trying to master the first part of this and I can’t get this right, I’m not sure weather it’s timing, alternative picking or the pauses that screw me up but I would feel better knowing it took you a long time to play this so flawlessly, can you give me a word of advice please on how to conquer this tune, and I love your vids man thank you and God bless
Can’t remember how long it took me to get this tune down. I remember being a teenager spending about an hour a day at it and I didn’t get it quite right back then and I think I just gave up on it. Now several years later, I have a lot more patience with tunes like this and Im a bit more wise with how I go about practicing... I just slow it down and focus on the speed that that I’m weak at. And if I don’t get it today or tomorrow, that’s ok. Because if I keep chipping at it like Andy Dufresne, I know eventually I’ll get it. Just slow it down using the playback function. And relax your right hand. Too many people get sore tendons or carpel tunnel, whatever it is, by tensing up. And then lose their stamina at some point. I make sure that I’m more relaxed in the right arm as I increase tempo when I try to nail these tunes. Then I let autopilot take over after several days of practice.
Because you don't learn it by itself in a vacuum. It's like asking how does one solve integrals? Well first you learn basic addition/multiplication, then fractions and decimals, then exponents and logs, then trigonometric functions like sin/cos/tan, etc. You gradually learn all the little skills and reach a point of mastery with them over the course of a few years. If you know the underlying principles of all music you can just feel what something is instinctually without having to think.
that was absolutely PERFECT !!!! and that last crazy solo shows how good Dave is, he play the whole last run up without pinky even doing that bar one 1st,2nd, and third string on fret 12 !!!! which is to me the craziest thing of the whole solo i cant reach now but working on it....
I’m no god lol. But i’ve never thought that riff was hard to sing and play it’s honestly one of the easiest songs for me to sing and play but ik it all depends on the person because i can’t sing and play hangar 18 and i’ve heard that that one is fairly easy, yet i can sing and play this whole song pretty easy 😂 Not taking anything away from dave though he’s surely a god and can sing and play everything with such ease 😂
Rust in peace is my faviorate metal album!! Your cover is mind blowing!! Just love it! I just can't imagine the stamina to play this song in one go!! U are awesome! Pls do keep posting metal song cover tabs like this please!🙏🙏 THANK YOU😊
Holy Tabs.... The Practice Due
Omfg! It's true xD
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 for real
Hahahha it's soo funny
xD good one
Honestly
The riffs on this one are insane. Major respect to Mustaine and anyone who can cover it as tightly as you do!
Just the riffs? Try to sing and play that at the same time, that's another level of insanity
@ True, Mustaine is a machine!
Mustaine’s riffs are difficutly af!
As long as Metallica can't copy the riffs he's happy
Yeah.but Dave's solo is very hard although i can cover the song except his solo..
This is the best kind of lesson to find on youtube: just the whole song with the correct tabs running together. We don't need anyone explaining note by note, which fingers to use and blah blah.....just show me the freaking tabs right to the point.

Directly lol
Indirectly? Literally the point of this is to teach people to play the song.
I feel like “directly” would be if he were sitting in the room with you showing you step by step.
The lack of tension in both hands is impressive and your note articulation is flawless. There is absolutely no sign of fatigue through the piece.

The hardest thing is getting your guitar to turn into a acoustic for 10 secs😂. Btw, this is IMO the best metal track EVER.
Could also use the clean channel with some delay and chorus for it
Just turn off distortion
Hands down
Not only did you nail both solo's perfectly you even got the tone from the album Rust in Peace.

And the fact Mustaine sings while playing that at the same time.

@Mr. Tabs outstanding! For those harmonics at 4:48, what does the .2 mean in ?
Sorry for coming quite late but if it works for you, it means in the middle of those frets, that is, on the line that divides the frets.
Natural harmonics. Hover your finger over the fret and touch the string very very lightly when you pluck
That 3 note strike before going to 10-7 trips me up im so used to doing 4 strokes instead of the 3. The beginning rifff after the intro.
Anyone can recommend a good flying V guitar? It’s time
Jackson King V is your best bet for a Megadeth/Dave Mustaine sound. That or a Rhoads style V.

But i’ve never thought that riff was hard to sing and play it’s honestly one of the easiest songs for me to sing and play but ik it all depends on the person because i can’t sing and play hangar 18 and i’ve heard that that one is fairly easy, yet i can sing and play this whole song pretty easy 😂
Not taking anything away from dave though he’s surely a god and can sing and play everything with such ease 😂
