Go To Hell. I never hear anyone talk about this one. By far my favorite of theirs since seeing it in Bogus Journey, and immediately asking for the sountrack, when I was like 10. That Faith No More song (Perfect Crime) os killer too. Also, Tommy the Cat from Primus. Actually the whole soundtrack is pretty awesome lol
Marty's solos were ahead of its time, I don't think even the 90s Shrapnel guitar hero guys could even match his intensity in this album, it's chaotic, dissonant, bluesy angry yet all of these notes fit together, stroke of genius
Skin 'o my teeth has a sick ass marty solo. Has all the elements, crazy blues licks, weird chromatic nonsense, fast legato, giant bends, a key change, I love it. One of my favorites
Spot on. He goes from gear 1 to 6 in a period of time, ensuring he does all that makes Marty , Marty . So rock n roll, so punchy, so melodic, so rocky and metal , while those runs and the key change, BAM he gets in your psych each and every time.
In measure 5, beats 1-3 each descend one more note at the end of the beat: C♯-D♯-E-F♯-G♯-A-G♯-F♯-E, F♯ etc. (6 32nds, 32nd triplet) Also the note before that lick is a 1/2 step prebend from C natural. (Eventually the vibrato goes below C♯.)
I like the way you "visualise" it, gives another dimension to the lesson, no one really explains that detail, that I've heard of, think ill give this a bash.
Most people don't know this but one of the key factors that makes Marty's sound unique is his strange right hand. The flexed curvature is basically a modified form of the rare Gypsy Jazz style picking, which was invented to create a louder, more aggressive pick attack. He leverages a massive downward pickslant and uses circular thumb picking to get around the string change issue (for example when the pick is below the string and he needs to move to the string above). You can't reach as much consistent speed output with Gypsy style picking as you can with traditional picking but you get MUCH more power. Think of it like the difference between an AK47 and a metronome. AK47 shoots extra fast and clean in short bursts but then soon gets out of control if you keep shooting without rest, but the sound is dynamic and powerful while a metronome maintains consistent high speed, but the sound is rather weak and mechanical.
Many guitarist today that blast thru scales with lightning speed and no feeling. I love the emotion felt and heard with bending. Bending is just so much more fun and heart felt.
This video is great, you shred and you're a funny dude! Subscribed! I agree, I always found myself more attracted to the weirder tracks on Countdown/ Youthanasia. Great stuff
Marty is a guitar god that even Dave mustaine does not mess with He is the only ex Megadeth Dave speaks highly of. Marty is uniquely awesome. Thats for the video man. Loved it
Perfect timing! I’m learning “Angry Again” solo included and it’s my first attempt at learning a kick ass decently hard solo. I also just watched your “Phrygian” lesson & your “Holy Wars Acoustic Solo” lesson. I can’t wait to watch this when I get to my guitar 🤘🏾
Dude, no wayy, I legit just started learning angry again solo, Its definitely one of my first real attempts at a megadeth solo, I think it'll definitely improve my lead playing heaps, well hopefully Wishing you goodluck dude! :)
Ben, you totally rule, man. I'd really like to see you as a lead guitarist in Megadeth. There's a lot of "covers" of legendary solos on YT but only you can play on Marty's level or, what's even more important, above it. @Megadeth please note this.
I'm impressed by how good you got the 8-string to sound on your intro.. Maybe I've been listening to too much Animals as Leaders, but most 8-string stuff sounds incomprehensible because it's played so fast with very small tonal range and bootloads of distortion to make it sound more eviler.. it just sounds like mushy peas to me! Good job, Uncle B! 👍
A hidden gem is Marty’s solo on the album Youthanasia, “The Killing Road.” It’s a long solo that sounds like an alternate take of the solo to “Symphony of Destruction” and even “Ashes in Your Mouth” because he establishes a quick melodic part before unleashing his flurry of smooth, exotic lines.
4:05 Sorry to be "that guy", but Marty tabs this lick at the 13th fret on the B string, hammer to 14 and presumably rolling the finger to get the 14 on E, etc. (Guitar School June 1996).
Killing road is also my favourite, I can’t remember if you broke it down in to what relation the notes had with the chords etc, I will re watch now… that is always really interesting to try and understand his thought process.
Another great video Unca Ben. Great breakdown. It's amazing the way you can play so accurately at stepdad speed. My timing and phrasing go to shit when I try to do that.
Instead of going over the Countdown solo's, it'd be nice to see a breakdown of some of Marty's lesser known tracks. FFF is an absolute doozy of a solo, and is criminally underrated!
Hey Ben! Thank you again for another Marty Lesson. Have you heard his latest album? I love to see you cover it! Or even give your opinion. Echo & Time flies are my favorite.
Uncle Ben, I and possibly others(?) would LOVE to learn Ozzy’s “No Bone Movies,” especially the rhythm, whose chords elude me (us?). Really cool rhythm song and of course, humorous subject matter.
Well I was going to request "Killing Road" but you've already done it! "Family tree" is another one from Youthanasia with a fantastic Marty solo. It's chock full of "Martyisms" 😅😂
Dear Uncle Ben. We need a video that focus more on the hand-job (that also sound grooser than intended...) Marty is known for. This is a key factor to be able to nail his solo work. I try constantly to play with that awkward wrist bend + lazy downward picking and it actually makes much more sense when playing these solos.
I’ll never forget the day Marty added me on Instagram randomly. I was a bit stunned as to why exactly but, hey, the OG megadeth guitarist added me! Checked 5 days later and he was gone. He was fishing for likes. I will never trust the FANTA Band guitarist ever again🤣
This is one of the most under-rated Megadeth songs in the catalog and one of my all time favorites. Do 'Go To Hell' next.
Go to hell is a killer track 🤘🏽
I’m in the midst of learning ‘Go To Hell’ and ‘Sweating Bullets’. I just need to get those solos up to speed.
th-cam.com/video/i75mZYGbsak/w-d-xo.html
Goto to hell is great!
Go To Hell. I never hear anyone talk about this one. By far my favorite of theirs since seeing it in Bogus Journey, and immediately asking for the sountrack, when I was like 10. That Faith No More song (Perfect Crime) os killer too. Also, Tommy the Cat from Primus. Actually the whole soundtrack is pretty awesome lol

marty was a shrapnel guitar hero though...
You couldn’t have said it better and more eloquently.
Marty is pretty much untouchable in all his contributions in Megadeth. Thanks for the breakdown.
Well, yes and no. Chris Broderick is no slouch by any means and Kiko is a jedi but yes, Marty is Marty and I think he was the ultimate Megadeth fit.
Skin 'o my teeth has a sick ass marty solo. Has all the elements, crazy blues licks, weird chromatic nonsense, fast legato, giant bends, a key change, I love it. One of my favorites
The one in Family Tree is amazing too, like, how can you be so tasteful to do that bend?
A skin o my teeth tutorial would be amazing.
Skin o my teeth is my favourite opening track of any metal album... superb
That entire album is a fucking masterpiece imo. Tight af, just perfect from every angle.
Spot on. He goes from gear 1 to 6 in a period of time, ensuring he does all that makes Marty , Marty . So rock n roll, so punchy, so melodic, so rocky and metal , while those runs and the key change, BAM he gets in your psych each and every time.
Marty is just on a tier of his own in terms of that genius combination of shred and melodic ideas.
In measure 5, beats 1-3 each descend one more note at the end of the beat: C♯-D♯-E-F♯-G♯-A-G♯-F♯-E, F♯ etc. (6 32nds, 32nd triplet) Also the note before that lick is a 1/2 step prebend from C natural. (Eventually the vibrato goes below C♯.)
All the solos on Countdown are outstanding. This one, Foreclosure of a Dream, Skin O' My Teeth, Ashes in Your Mouth, Captive Honor.
Captive Honor might be my favorite. Such a nasty song.
The bass breakdown transition to the solo makes it even more epic.
That is so badass! Love that shit
Can you do a Vortex solo lesson? That's one of Marty's most underrated solos imo.
Finally! Thanks! Solo for Take no Prisoners and complete for Poison was the cure will be great!
Dude, YES! Killing Road solo is an absolute masterpiece. I've been raising my arm hairs on that one since 94. 🤘
Rude Awakening(Live) - She Wolf
The last solo in Victory is sorely overlooked.
I like the way you "visualise" it, gives another dimension to the lesson, no one really explains that detail, that I've heard of, think ill give this a bash.
Thanks again Uncle Ben. Savage and great as usual.
Love that you're covering youthanasia / countdown era Marty solos!
Please consider doing high speed dirt next!!

My favourite Marty solo, ashes in your mouth is amazing as well.
After a long break from the guitar I think I'll learn this solo. Thank You! Perfect timing for my life x
Marty can make magic simply because he is THAT GOOD. He's a full blown virtuoso.
So I've finally built up the chops to play marty solos and I am reliving my fan days going back and learning them. Thanks for this content!
So glad you did this solo, the deeper cuts on cte are great
his phrasing is crazy good, but his "only him not choices" if that makes sense is soooo good
Many guitarist today that blast thru scales with lightning speed and no feeling. I love the emotion felt and heard with bending. Bending is just so much more fun and heart felt.
I could watch these videos about Marty again and again
This video is great, you shred and you're a funny dude! Subscribed! I agree, I always found myself more attracted to the weirder tracks on Countdown/ Youthanasia. Great stuff
Thank you, uncle Ben! Great video!
I agree Countdown to Extinction and Youthanasia have some of my favourite Marty solos
The lesson that we were all waiting for!
Thank you for making this video.
Thanks! Your tone is really good too.
you should do an ashes in your mouth solo lesson or dave’s solo in holy wars lesson. Please!!!
Yes! Ashes is killer. Another epic Marty solo is the one from Lucretia.
You rock, Ben!
Countdown to Extinction is my favorite Megadeth album. This is their first album that I have.
What about Marty's solo in Captive honour (the ending solo) ;-) ?
I like things that are nice!
When i see megadeth and uncle Ben in the same sentence, it's a nice day 🤘
Marty is a guitar god that even Dave mustaine does not mess with
He is the only ex Megadeth Dave speaks highly of.
Marty is uniquely awesome.
Thats for the video man.
Loved it
Hands down, Uncle Ben is the most coolest guy in the earth.
This has always been my favorite Marty solo in Megadeth mostly because of that Legato run
FUK yeah, Always wanted too live in "The Shire" Thanks Uncle Ben!!!!
Perfect timing! I’m learning “Angry Again” solo included and it’s my first attempt at learning a kick ass decently hard solo. I also just watched your “Phrygian” lesson & your “Holy Wars Acoustic Solo” lesson. I can’t wait to watch this when I get to my guitar 🤘🏾
Dude, no wayy,
I legit just started learning angry again solo,
Its definitely one of my first real attempts at a megadeth solo,
I think it'll definitely improve my lead playing heaps, well hopefully
Wishing you goodluck dude! :)
good lesson, thanks
Absolutely love the breakdown of the music and that Japanese migrant man’s of going about his musical chores ..🤟
Ben, you totally rule, man. I'd really like to see you as a lead guitarist in Megadeth.
There's a lot of "covers" of legendary solos on YT but only you can play on Marty's level or, what's even more important, above it.
@Megadeth please note this.

And fire in the sky”

Ben has a video on that solo.
@@remnant24 Get the heck outta here! How did I not know this?! Thank you, and of course thanks to Ben.
@@douglaslaidlaw5961 he also mentioned Killing Road at the end of this video. It's his favorite Marty solo. One of my faves as well actually
Uncle Ben says... Really dig in and goose this thing!
"Looks like [leg] meat's back on the menu, boys!" -Ugluk
4:05 Sorry to be "that guy", but Marty tabs this lick at the 13th fret on the B string, hammer to 14 and presumably rolling the finger to get the 14 on E, etc. (Guitar School June 1996).
Although it's possible the magazine's editors transcribed the examples in his column for him. Your way seems easier, so forget I said anything.
Thanks Uncle Ben!!
Wow early af and ty for the lesson love Marty
Killing road is also my favourite, I can’t remember if you broke it down in to what relation the notes had with the chords etc, I will re watch now… that is always really interesting to try and understand his thought process.
Here is my good ol buddy. Whole Step Ben.
Check the solos from Längtar bort från mitt hjarta by Shining, they're awesome
I think I speak for more than a few of your subscribers when I say we all enjoy the John Stockton-esque nuthuggers you're wearing in this v video.
Another great video Unca Ben. Great breakdown. It's amazing the way you can play so accurately at stepdad speed. My timing and phrasing go to shit when I try to do that.
Awesome lesson Ben! Do the take no prisoners solo next! Or the solo from Victory. Or edit: Hangar 18 solos if you're feeling fired up!
Hey Ben...Do you have a .99 cent Patreon?...J/K Dude...Great lesson man!
Any chance of getting a video for playing the rest of the song???? :)
Instead of going over the Countdown solo's, it'd be nice to see a breakdown of some of Marty's lesser known tracks. FFF is an absolute doozy of a solo, and is criminally underrated!
Uncle Ben maybe the next Megadeth song you should do is Lucretia. Marty and Dave both have killer solos on that one
"It's not 'Architecture of Moistness".
I'm at lunch at work and almost spit my food out I LOL'D so hard.
Ben, great video as typical.. Hey, you should do a video on intervallic playing and on a breakdown of Aaron Marshall! Keep up the great work.
I’d like to see/hear the solo to Megadeth’s Addicted to Chaos. Yeah, that’s the ticket!
The balls dangling between Marty's fingers on the first couple of notes are swollen to the max.
Hey Ben! Thank you again for another Marty Lesson. Have you heard his latest album? I love to see you cover it! Or even give your opinion. Echo & Time flies are my favorite.
Angry Again solo?
Show us the gams Uncle Benny. Show them gams, and shred them jams! Woooo
Hey Ben, how was that gathering of musicians at that retreat you posted on one of your recent videos last month in Tennessee ?
Something Woods Jam?
in "the hardest lick" is marty playing triplets playing notes on the 1 and 3 then adding the 2?
Uncle Ben,
I would urge you to try a breakdown of Friedman's solos like FFF, Vortex, Victory, etc...
Very Few Lessons or Covers on YT
Uncle Ben, I and possibly others(?) would LOVE to learn Ozzy’s “No Bone Movies,” especially the rhythm, whose chords elude me (us?). Really cool rhythm song and of course, humorous subject matter.
Mary jane's harmonic part
Pleaseeeeee
Well I was going to request "Killing Road" but you've already done it! "Family tree" is another one from Youthanasia with a fantastic Marty solo. It's chock full of "Martyisms" 😅😂
Countdown is my fave, then a tie between Youthanasia and Rust in Peace!
Dear Uncle Ben. We need a video that focus more on the hand-job (that also sound grooser than intended...) Marty is known for. This is a key factor to be able to nail his solo work. I try constantly to play with that awkward wrist bend + lazy downward picking and it actually makes much more sense when playing these solos.
Amazing lesson! You should do the good mourning/Black Friday solos next for Chris poland 🤘🏼
Ya made me LOL with the "chromatic nonsense" comment! Ha ha ha ha! Love the vids #UncleBen \m| |m/
megadave youthanasia. 🤘
Tornado of Souls, I think you may have covered it already.
spiff as always
Stepdad speed FTW!
Staccato
The 3 notes after legato
meow at 0:23
Good catch
Clicked Faster than Last Time!!!!
All about that leg meat 🤘😆
Not too hard to play? Come on uncle Ben!
Please help us get our toes into Marty's Water XD
I wish Marty Friedman was my dad
Two things...
Moar Legmeat!!!
And could you please point me in the direction of said Architect of moistness? My PHub account expired 🙁
👌
Great Lesson & the zebra Revv is real Porn :)
Marty’s hair is it’s own entity!
Caution it’s hungry!!!
Never clicked so fast in my life, and I'm stepdad age.
Well i am more of a "Jazz Guy" But this solo is really nice , I even stole one idea from it.
I’ll never forget the day Marty added me on Instagram randomly. I was a bit stunned as to why exactly but, hey, the OG megadeth guitarist added me!
Checked 5 days later and he was gone.
He was fishing for likes.
I will never trust the FANTA Band guitarist ever again🤣
I am a fan prof uncle ben.. isn’t that actually uncle Bob ..
I call BS. Uncle Ben always means it to be dirty.
