- 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!
The song with eleven solo's
With one!

whoah...you clearly know too much
This is an underrated comment
Exactly xD
Unreal. Like a robot programmed to shred megadeth.
John James Like a Metal Monster!
You try to take his baaAaaAAaAlllss!!!
It seems so easy when I look at you !!! But man I know how fucking hard it is ! Fucking good job John !
Thanks Chuck Norris!
Chuck Norris holy wars is extreme
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.
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.
John Nuckols what do I do? I played so much that I have shredded my hands. It's been four months since I've played and now I can't write without my hand and arm hurting
flawless victory
@@austinbramer558 keep playing
I liked, subscribed, and i almost died in the fact that its so close to the original. Dave and Marty would be fucking proud dude.
Best comment ever. Thanks man! Definitely getting ready to some more Rust in Peace songs with better playing. I just got to figure out the video aspect of it.
The production on this video is amazing not to mention the flawless playing. Just a fantastic cover man!
Thank you so much!
the only cover i found , which captured the feeling of those crazy friedman solos, very good work !
this is DEFINITELY THE BEST COVER ON TH-cam
No, solos are too silent.
Nobody likes you bozo
@@mrgrzybek92what's that supposed to mean lol
I love the yellow RG, its so Metal!
I've watched this a few times but just read that the audio was one take -- insanely impressive!
Are you sure you didn’t record the guitars in hangar 18 on the record?
Ha, yeah I'm quite sure! I have listened to it a lot though!
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.
Just returned to this one after a long time and it's still epic! Not just the technique to play all the solos but the memory required for them all too...
It has to be so liberating to be able to play these incredible solos. Hangar 18 solos are my all time favorite!
My dude... those arpeggios are on point! Marty composed some hard solos and you got them on point! Thrash on!
It sounds the freaking same way it does in the original song!! AWESOME!!
Fernando Silva Thank you!!
Soy Latino,TE ganaste mi respeto amigo, eres el mejor!!
muchas gracias!
OMG you're one of the only people on youtube that can make a cover sound like the actual song. Thumbs up. Great job!
you fucking killed it dude, absolute fucking perfection
You sir are no mortal man, you are a metal god in the making.
Well that was just about perfection what a great job you have done and I must say it is also so well filmed ,lovely close ups of the fingering patterns and the pleck work too,keep up the great work you are very talented.
+novak djokovic Thanks so much!
I’ve been wanting to learn these solos for a loooooong time. Don’t know if I can pull it off but this video looks like a really great place to learn them from!
It's amazing to nail it in one shot cover. Interesting how many times you had to take a shot, man.
That was fucking unbelievable! Never thought I would see a Hangar 18 cover this good. I've been playing Megadeth for a long time and am in awe. Just amazing.
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
Yeah I get that mate... The feeling is there... Can't see it but you hear it.. 😍
do you play guitar as well as him?
Really just started as a guitarist, watching this makes me think of how far I can come, thanks for the dope solo!!
Dude, this is so clean!
Thanks for the video.
Probably the best cover on youtube, and I've seen many of them. Bravo sir.
That's an awesome compliment, thank you. More videos coming soon.
I must admit though that I'm jealous because I your guitar but cannot find that exact one in a left handed model
*love your guitar
You are a freak of nature on that guitar! A beast! I am speechless.
Best one I've seen, incredibly accurate! congrats !
Thank you...I tried!
Literally had me jamming so hard. You made it look so fun to play too. Very rudimental almost. Well done sir.
That was... excellent. Superbly clean and precise.
Always thought that if you could master this album, you'd be a god. Good work John.
Thanks a lot! I feel the same. I still have a long way till I master the whole album so I'll let you know when I start feeling god like. Those Five Magic solos are insane. Hopefully I'll have Holy Wars up in a few weeks.
That was inhumanely accurate and I loved every second of it
Absolutely amazing. You nailed it, the tone as well. If I couldn't see you I would've thought it was playback.
Holy crap, this is epic!
Thank you!
I got the first 3 Marty solos down. Still working on the last one. Great job man! I was just shredding along with you and I had a blast.
Beautifully played on a beautiful guitar
Christ, man. I just stumbled across this video. This cover is absolutely perfect. Not a single mistake, and you play so smoothly. You need more subscribers. You're awesome
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.
Yes.
This guy is playing with an ease. Amazing work friend.
You nailed it. Great cover, great song.
I'm currenlty learning this solos so this video is very helpful, awesome skills, keep em coming!
That was incredible. The look on your face at the end says it all🤣🤣
Man, I wish I could play this. You clearly have spent more time practicing guitar than I have. Must be fun playing like that
Really freaking awesome dude! So enjoyable to watch you shred one of the great Megadeth songs!
Holy shit man! Thats a very nice cover! Im struggling with solos myself at the moment, but what a blast those are when you get them right! Awesome!
Scrolling through & stumbled on your video. Your killing it brother , keep slaying!
Nice guitar!
And nice playing too.
Thank you!
Unbelievable. That's as close to perfect as I've seen. I feel like taking my guitar and tossing it in the fireplace.
oh man, thank you so much but don't throw your guitar away!!
Amazing, finally a cover that actually looks like someone is finally playing the guitar and not miming it. Subbed instantly
Thanks! It was all one take audio, but some small parts of the video or from other takes just to get different angles. Checked out your stuff as well, nice playing!
My man that was insane. Keep up the good work
You absolutely nailed it. Pretty damn impressive.
Watching this cover was a pleasure for me. Awesome dude! Greetings from Poland ;)
Thanks so much! Greetings from the US. :)
Dude this is pretty badass!
absolutely perfect..awsome work bro keep showing us!
Man, one day I want to be able to play it with all the solos
Greetings from Turkey,THAT WAS AWESOME!
Selamlarrr

Fair enough. You just smashed it. Awesome stuff
Figuring. Accuracy. Your perfect man . I've listened this song thousand times .🤘

Dafaaq did i just see.. Those were some really hard solos and you fuckin nailed it man. Awesome!
Very good job, hope to see some more from ya man!!

absolutely fantastic sir, as others have stated you nailed the feeling of it, which is harder than just hitting all the notes! hails!
Thank you, it is all about the sweet sweet Marty vibrato.
Absolutely insane man! 🙌
This is amazing, the solos are on-point!
This is the best cover of Hangar 18
fucking nailed it dude. NNIIIIIICCCCEEEE!!!!!!!!! one of my faves and Marty's shredding is one of the most enigmatic styles, and it's hard due to that. I love it. Excellent presentation no doubt.
Awesome sound! This is by far my favorite megadave song
sound is very clean! perfect cover! LIKE!!
I love your tone dude!
Nice ! I really like the quality of your video.. and great playing too ;)
Oz Fox would love that guitar. Great playing bro.
Dude you’re amazing!
Holy shit man!! You completely nailed it!! I love this song so much! And tips for a guitarist working on getting faster, but still wanting to remain as clean as you? Your technique is pretty much perfect in my opinion!
damn, that was BadAss, you nailed those solos 👍
Real solid tone, nice job
Insane cover man! Please comeback and do more covers! We need you!
Can’t believe I commented this 2 years ago haha.

2:32 Riffs though! Love how you are so spot on with the solos but the way you move into the riff as well just ties it all up! Cheers
I hope one day I can make this look as easy as you did
Mindblowing. Very well done. Wow.
