  • Here is my cover of Hangar 18 by Megadeth. The duel guitar solos were a blast to learn and perform, as I tried to stay as close to the original as I could.
    The main lead part was performed live along with the actual STEM tracks from the Megadeth recording. The audio was one take w/ a blend of three video takes.
    Check out my original music:
    • Dark Fantasia - Ghost ...
    • Dark Fantasia - August...
    Thanks to Robert Leighton films for the amazing video!

    Thanks a lot dude!! I promise you if I can play it, so can you! Just have to put in the time and go slow at first. I'd recommend isolating each solo and turning the tricky parts into little exercises. Be aware of exactly how you are going to play it - what fingers you are going to use, how you are going to pick it, where you are going to use legato, ect... Plus this way you can take the licks and make them your own for your own solos/improvisations!

      How long did it take for you perfectly do the whole song? I'm stuck at the second solo.

    • @JohnNuckols
      @JohnNuckols  10 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      It took me about 2 months to learn it all. The second solo is all about your picking. That solo and most of the solos in this song took me a while to play up to speed.

    • @gairabad
      @gairabad 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think what's going on is he is recording over a backing track that includes the rhythm part. There are some sections of the vid when the rhythm and lead part are the same and that's why you hear 2 guitars. But later in the vid I only hear 1 guitar playing the solos.

    ok..... i'm very picky when it comes to cover.... especially when it's about one of my all time favorite guitar player like Marty Friedman but damn.... YOU GOT IT ! you got it all. technique, precision, the feeling of it, doesn't feel like you're struggling to keep up the speed, even the angle of the pick to get the right tone. Anyway, Very well done, that's awesome. Keep up the good work! Peace

    This is the greatest cover ever posted on the internet. You nailed it as "nailed" can be. You also played both Dave's and Marty's leads during the duel which I'm not sure they could or ever did themselves. I can play Dave's leads but I can't play Marty's to make them sound, well, like Marty's. You did. I bow my head.
