9.9 out of 10 because the only perfect one was recorded on the original. It's insane, this is one of the most complete covers out there of this greatest solo of all time. Congrats! I'm crying, it's like graduating guitar college.
The greatest solo from the amazing Marty Friedman 🤘Met him once and I must say: he's one of the sweetest human beings one can meet. Such a cool guy, he even gave me his pick ❤
now I am studying Hotel California by Eagles, have been playing guitar for 1 year now, hopefully i will study similar solos in the future, wish me luck
This was the song I played for my GCSE music performance. I had to make the solo a lot simpler just because I could not figure out what was being played in time. Thanks for uploading this Bradley, should be a big help in finally nailing it lol
Wow. Well done. Pretty high standard for GCSE. I did The Forgotten Part II (1992). Rust in Peace had only recently come out, and none of us could work that solo out. Friedman absolutely blew us away.
@@machidaman I did this only a couple years ago so I had the benefit of the internet. Can't imagine what it must have been like to hear it back in the day
This solo is a blaze of technical brilliance and melodic invention, a true masterpiece of thrash metal guitar. I heard it millions of times and still wet my pants... A true masterpiece
Thank you so much for this tutorial Bradley. I learnt this solo half a year back and thought I needed to clean it up. Of course, I came to your channel and I learnt it properly from this tutorial. I am planning to learn the Painkiller solo with your tutorial. Rock on Bradley!🤘
Thank you SO MUCH for this, im 14 and i can almost play this solo completely now because of this!! I didnt think i would ever be able to play this!!🤟🤟🤟

I've been slumming TH-cam for years looking for guitarists that can equal this solo in all of its often-subtle nuances. Marty has a lot of little details that a lot of people seem to miss or just skip over. This is one of the only two videos I've come across over the years that nails this solo as good as Friedman's original work.
I’m SO CLOSE to finishing the guitar solo. I’ve been learning it for half a year and thank you Bradley so god damn much for this video so I could actually relearn it RIGHT. I’m betting I can play the solo by the end of the WEEK!!
Damn!!! Very well done. This solo is so hard even Marty has trouble with it. Such artistic greatness! Even note for note reproduction will never perfectly match the actual human touch in the moment and moment/recording. That is how the gift of music is supposed to be 😉
I've been learning this solo for years now, always giving up on the last part bc my mind can 't handle the randomness. But damn it, it's time to graduate. Let's do this!
Its pretty hard to replicate that relaxed gypsy jazzy feel in the arpeggios and bends, a lot of players including myself dont add in a lot of the intricate leading notes either before some of the bends. And that last few bars is the part that usually gets glossed over. Bradley got it nailed though
@@goldenbdogg4880 I would know because from 15 to 18 I played 4 to 8 hours a day as much as I could. I should have been out enjoying life learning things like being a plumber or learn a trade but instead I stared at a piece of wood with strings on it.
Can we get a Bradley Hall metal playlist? You ended up being a huge tastemaker for me even if I disagree with you pretty often now. Keep up the good work! 🐛
I suppose I learn this version of the wtf bars 43-47 for the bazilionth time lol. Sounds promising though throughout, seems like you got a bunch of nuances that I haven't seen before in my 20+ years of attempting this amazing solo from way too many sources. Excited to give it another shot. Thanks!!!!
I was absolutely, 100%, totally convinced that 0:29 was tremolo picked. It's not. You can hear the pick if you slow it down! But, I don't think it's strummed like that? It sounds like it's pick-pick-slide pick-slide pick-slide...
I used to think it was tremelo-picked too! But if you slow the recording to half-speed you can hear it's actually octaves. The 2 octave notes being slightly out of phase is what makes it sound a bit like it's tremlo-picked. Plus Marty plays it live like that too which is a bit of a giveaway haha
I wish the Birdseye maple was as profound on my RG5120M. As it is on yours. Evertime i grab mine the tones inspires me to play 80s rock and metal. Especially Megadeath 🤘
Props for Beanley for putting tabs in the upper part. A lot of these kind of videos have tabs in the bottom and it is hard to read them, because of time bar...
Thank you for this! I am a huge Marty fan like everyone else, and I love how you cover his content! Perhaps in the future you can cover some of his own material from Wall of Sound or Tokyo Jukebox 3🙏🏼 Much love.
Teemu did a very nice job with Megadeth currently... then again, I'm a biased Wintersun fan. th-cam.com/video/LuWqUzUci9Y/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AQlOgTZCmi3fnyO-
Try letting your pinky and ring fimger on your strummimg hand dangle loose like. Gives your hand an airiness and makes the tremolo strain your wrist less.
Do you think this is the correct picking pattern at 0:42? I've seen so many pros doing small sweeps between the two strings, as opposed to vigorously picking like that.
Just the best solo in all of heavy metal. Absolute masterpiece. And not even Marty himself plays it this faithfully to the original! One thing - the fast repeating lick section is transcribed as being played with pull offs, but it looks to me like you're picking every note. Am I imagining things?
@@NandigamS Lmao, trying to revoke fucking Megadeth (one of the big four of trash metal) their status as a metal band has to be the most ridiculous act of gatekeeping in the history of the metal fandom.
@@HorseloverFat1984hear tornado of souls then hear strength beyond strength and get back to me. megadeth is amazing but thrash metal is fast, aggressive, abrasing and angry. megadeth only has speed. Mustaine's vocals are very VERY rock-like (many of their songs have rock lyrics, especially mechanix🤮 ), the solos aren't aggressive at all except for maybe the one at the opening of headcrusher (which is probably their only actual metal song). I'm not a Metallica fan either however Metallica has some really dark themes and hetfield's vocals sound powerful and loud. Pantera is just on another level in terms of aggressiveness and Cannibal Corpse, its not even a fair comparison. Smells like teen spirit is a rock song and even that is more aggressive than most megadeth songs which is a "heavy metal" band.
My favorite cover is from Babysaster, her playing is just so pristine, I recommend everyone to check it out (and probably be inspired even more, or crushed to bits, depending on your guitar self-esteem).
People say its the best solo ever but forget Dave wrote an amazing song that flows really nicely and keeps its speed rolling thru and after the solo is over like a celebration after the solo. Dave is amazing at writing and so is Marty. But the two song writers here made it all work.

Yeah but on the other hand, I don't think even Marty himself have ever played that again exactly like it was on the album.
I thought it was too slow and the way it was played was weird, I give it a 70%. I think there are more accurate versions
@@jamesmoses4066yes. Kind of choppy.
Mr Tabs has the best versions of the Megadeth songs he's covered as far as tab accuracy is concerned
He might evenget get a 9.99 out of 10 from me for also having the annoying monocle band hanging in the way

Me too
Now do it upside down.
Do it in french !!!!!

The greatest solo from the amazing Marty Friedman 🤘Met him once and I must say: he's one of the sweetest human beings one can meet. Such a cool guy, he even gave me his pick ❤
I got a question, when you play TOS using that pick, is it perfect every time?
now I am studying Hotel California by Eagles, have been playing guitar for 1 year now, hopefully i will study similar solos in the future, wish me luck
u will achieve it man, just don't give up and practice a lot :D
Use a Metronome.
The top hat and monocle level of respect this solo just received is as incredible as the solo itself. Bravo.
Awesome stuff brad. Out of the youtube guitarists in the "metal music skits" scene you are probably the most talented of them all

By far one of the cleanest, most accurate, and faithful covers of ToS on TH-cam. Very well done
This other video is the most accurate Guitar Solo TAB th-cam.com/video/MBNbln36ye0/w-d-xo.html
This is one of those cases where the first half of the solo isn't hard but the second half has a big difficulty spike. Still, excellent to learn

I can't get over how perfect this is.

Was having so much Trouble with this tab and the small little nuances you ironed out really made it click. You're a gem and a gentleman
Wow, impressive!! So well played with extra attention to detail, thank you for this!! Cheers from Portugal and congratulations 🤘🔝
I only dabble with drums but that was really impressive, really smooth and sounded just like the original to me 😮👏
Thanks for making this video Bradley! These are super helpful
been playing for almost 1.5 years, goddamn that second half is so hard 😭
I dont play guitar but I love watching your lessons just to watch you shred stuff! Awesome job man! 🤘🏻
So... no one is gonna talk about the alternate picking in the hammer on/pull off section??

0:40 this part is so difficult, but so beautiful. I think I'll soon break my fingers trying to play this masterpiece
The entire thing is crazy but :52 is where Marty goes back in time at 88 MPH. INSANE
the best cover of TOS solo I have seen so far on the Internet. Hope I will play it some day...
I love it but swear I've heard you play it better in other vids.
You're still a badass in my book.

Such artistic greatness!
Even note for note reproduction will never perfectly match the actual human touch in the moment and moment/recording.
That is how the gift of music is supposed to be 😉

I was just searching for one this morning. Thanks

Absolutely amazing, would like to hear this hour for hour in repeat. I love this solo

That was magnificiently well played good sir! I shall take my hat off for thee 💪🤘 and thank you for sharing the tab! Good day! 💪🤘

😂that "i can play this solo and you dont hahaha" face in the end is killimg me😂😂😂
props for actually just getting into it immediately instead of a 5 min intro
This is the singular song that introduced me to the genre many years ago
I'll probably never be able to pull it off but thanks to you i'll surely try
Man, all these years I never knew the Monopoly guy knew how to play guitar!!!! ; masterfully I might add
This is truly the GOAT of metal solos
when the monocle string is in danger of muting notes, you've committed fully to the bit and can only go forward in hope
I love the part where you can totally tell Bradley looks into the camera and does "his look" even though you cant see his face behind the sheet music.
Thank you for this! I am a huge Marty fan like everyone else, and I love how you cover his content! Perhaps in the future you can cover some of his own material from Wall of Sound or Tokyo Jukebox 3🙏🏼 Much love.

This is the second best metal solo. The number one spot is the 3 minute mark in Fermented Offal Discharge by Necrophagist.
Very fine work good sir!!
Magic man....any tips on how to synchronize left and right hand on the fast swiping parts? I'm having a hard time...thanks...
Just learned pinch harmonics because of this video. Thank you so much for it and great cover by the way . as great as mister friedman
My band mates "Can you play it"? Me "I could play it... I just don't want to".

Love it, absolutely awesome solo ✅
Holy shit that was badass!
bro got so good at the solo, he is legit alternate picking the sweep section...
(I am one of the plebs who is still struggling at 85% speed)
at last something to listen to for 4,5 hours straight
