WHY is this the BEST metal SOLO?

- In this video we'll study the music theory behind Megadeth's "Tornado Of Souls" solo. What makes this solo one of the greatest ever? I believe it's the way the melody and harmony interact with each other. Marty Friedman of Megadeth specifically outlines each of the chords he's playing over....Bm-G-E-F# and A. Listen to the arpeggios in the fast part...it's almost like he thinks similar to a jazz guitarist. Get my tabs from the video below. You can learn more about theory in my Music Theory Course below muhahaha.

Marty is the best hands down. There's the story of him writing this solo. Dave, who is known to be "tough", immediately stopped everything. Went and shook Marty's hand. That says everything
That definitely didn't happen lol
@@cowboygeorge5056 it did, it was said by Marty himself
all we have left is marty, paul gilbert, and steve vai.
Yes, Dave is tough, that's why he cried like a baby when Metallica fired him.
@@davidmontes3956 that's probably the reason he is the way he is. He is or at least was very hung up about Metallica. You would be too considering how massive they became!
From Martys site:
"When I finished the solo to this one, Mustaine came into the studio, listened to it down once, turned around and without saying a word, shook my hand. It was at that moment that I felt like I was truly the guitarist for this band."
And then they fucked
I love how the solo takes you to a journey. It doesn't go 100 MPH immediately it builds up with the chords. It makes you enjoy the appetizer parts then the shreddy part comes in and that was the main meal and you're not too bloated from the appetizer. Also I'm high.
To quote Half Baked, good for you yeah.
I mean so am I but not everyone needs to know youre high that literally adds nothing to the comment
Lmao
It literally added something to the comment. @@Clodnesia any Smilers in the comment section? 😊
😂🤟🏾👌🏾
Fun Fact: Marty had to play almost all of the solos off the Rust in Peace album in one take. According to the Rust in Peace book (fantastic read for fans), Marty was suffering from nerve damage in his picking arm and his doctor told him to paly as little guitar as possible. He only played to solos on the album and Dave did all the riffs for both guitar parts. Marty had to write then record the solos and live with the outcome from that take. It gives me much more of an appreciation for his guitar work on this record. Therefor I think it has to be Marty as the best Megadeth guitarist.
If Dave took care of all the other guitar stuck, I'd say Dave is the best guitarist in Megadeth
@@michaelboyle5805 ZING!
Read the book, I tend to agree. What is fascinating is Dave and Dave Jr. wrote this while fucked up, recorded it sober.
I would say Marty, BUT Chris Poland is extremely underrated imo. Also shout out to Kiko for being the best they've had since Marty left. Absolutely killer player. Broderick may be the best technical player they had but he never fit as well as others feel wise.
Nothing but facts!
Couldn’t agree more….Broderick is definitely the most technical of all of Megadeth’s guitarists (I think Kiki would take 2nd place), but Marty was just magic and had so much fire behind him coming out of Cacophony and having something to prove. It’s interesting he keeps talking about the chords behind the solo, as I read an interview with Marty way back and he said that he would intently follow the chords and change his ideas per chord (though I think he was mainly referring to the Lucretia solo at the time).
Marty is Mad no doubt. But kiko made Dave's Jaw drop as well during his first time meeting Dave.. says a lot about this guy too..
@@shijinvarghese8453 Plus, Kiko is one of the few guys in metal who is a legitimately positive role model. The man exudes class.
Absolutely underrated.
How Dave plays that level of guitar and sings at the same time just blows my mind
Him and Hetfield both. Insane players
Playing and singing at the same time isn't easy, but the wall is in the brain. Once you tear down the wall between "body does this, mouth sings that" it opens up all the doors. As a drummer, I can sing and play at the same time. But I started in 1994, and couldn't do both independently of one another, at the same time, until around 2007-ish. And then by 2009-2010 I could play on an electric set while writing a song, and carry a casual conversation while playing technically complicated parts (IE Syncopations / fills).
Nowadays, I can play in 13/16 while talking to my kid or my wife and walk them through what I'm doing, because they both want to learn. It's been literally 30 years as of this year that I picked up drumsticks. If I'm playing something like Tornado of Souls (which is INCREDIBLY FUN to play on the drums lmao) or something that takes a lot of energy like "Champion" by Falling in Reverse or "Everlong" by Foo Fighters, I can now play while talking to a band member, like, "Okay, and then here's a change, and there's going to be that one part that comes up right here, oh and hey ... you just stepped on your patch cable, you're going to yank it out of your guitar, doofus. Also, your B string is out of tune since that last divebomb you did. Anyway, here comes the breakdown, so get ready..."
Or I'll just sing if I need to. But that sort of thing took more than a decade of playing to break down the walls in the brain, and more than one decade to master it.
And if you're a pro like Dave Mustaine, then you do it every night while on tour, and it becomes second nature. If I can play complicated prog-metal parts and intricate triplets and sextuplets on the hats, on the toms, etc., while holding a conversation (or singing backup parts when playing live), then Dave can sing while playing much more complicated riffing like Holy Wars, We'll Be Back, Death From Within, or a zillion other songs (especially since Megadeth liked putting out an album every 2-3 years on average up until recently lol). Let's face it, the guy is super prolific, and just churns out song after song to see what sticks.
That, to me, is much harder than singing while playing, because even if you break down the walls in the brain between playing and singing at the same time ... there's nothing in the brain you can break down when you get writer's block. And that guy just kept pumping out album after album after album. That's what impresses ME the most, lol.
@wilhelmtheconquerer6214 I'd actually give Dave the edge, because his playing is so busy, technical, and fast. James' playing is brutally hard with the palm-muted galloping riffs, but Dave's, to me, is harder and more demanding overall.
Both are great players, but one is more musical while the other is more technical.
He's gotta be on the spectrum, if u heard any interview with the guy, he's autistic as fuck. And it's great.
@@KitWriter - I've been playing forever and haven't torn down that wall, and not for lack of effort... even painfully slow and simple things elude me. What's the secret?
I think Marty is logically the "greatest" of their guitarists. The creative alchemy that spawned The Greatest Thrash Album of All Time was "Dave, David, Marty, and Nick." Doesn't imply the prev/future guitarists are any less talented, though I WOULD argue that Marty's skill and creativity on that album were completely off the chain. He literally inspired a generation or two (or three) of guitarists to rethink their game, and greatly contributed to the very genesis of Thrash as a genre.
Great guitars, bass, an incredible drummer and horrible vocals. The last part makes it impossible to be the greatest thrash album
@@Marcelas888 in a like incorrect way it kinda adds to it at the same time though yknow? Maybe it’s just me
Well said ..
I don’t know if it’s THE best thrash album of all time, but it should def be in the conversation and should at least make the top 3 or top 5 of any self respecting list.
@@xtldc for sure mate
Lars Ulrich is my favorite Megadeth guitarist.
I thought he was the singer?
The point is: Marty doesn't just threw notes at the solo, he knew exactly where put every note of it.
Yep and no one has been able to nail every single note since, some have come 99% close, but I've never seen a perfect attempt
That solo was a challenge to me. My guitar playing changed ( improved a lot) after I covered that amazing solo! Tip: If someone wanna learn that solo, please play it with feelings! BTW, I`ve never seen any bad guitarists playing for Megadeth, but Marty is just a legend!
Never a bad guitarist in Megadeth?
False.
Kerry King briefly was in the band.
He's horrendous.
Chris Poland showed the world what jazz can do to Thrash, Marty took that and added the hirajoshi scale + his pop sensibilities and took it to the next level, and kiko is doing his own thing but has taken and learned from past megadeth guitarist understanding what a Megadeth lead guitar player is. Broderick on the other hand was pure machine technical to a tee
Dont talk much bout the hiro josh, keep it low, please... Hahaha
His pop sensibilities?
Kiko added that Brazilian music present in Bossa. The best example is "Conquer or Die" from the Dystopia album. Best lead guitarrist to me, next one gotta be Poland, or Friedman idk
@@supernothing77yes. Marty is a big fan of pop, especially jpop so he knows how to make guitar melodies and licks that sound almost as if it's a singer singing. It's very obvious in a lot of his playing, especially nowadays if you follow his music at all in the modern era.
Greatest Megadeth guitarist? Easy. Mustaine. It’s not just about technical ability or tone. It’s about creativity, innovation, melody construction, thinking outside the box, and song writing ability. And let’s be honest, not one guitarist in the band’s history does all that as good as Dave.
Hard to argue with that
Agree 100%
Absolutely!!!
Marty was the Megadeth greatest guitarist. Dave was Metallica greatest guitarist.
@@mattmoves5920 No chance, Cliff Burton was Metallica’s greatest guitarist by far…
I believe Marty Friedman is the most iconic guitar player in Megadeth history! Won’t get in the discussion who’s the best because they are all so great! But I believe Marty is the one responsible for Megadeth has so many followers!
Not only megadeth,whole thrash history
jeff young too
Yes, but Kiko cool too and add to Megadeth some spices.
Definitely the best guitarist Megadeth ever had.
dave mustaine?
It’s a shame that the solo in “Lucretia” seems to always get overlooked just because it’s in the same album as Tornado Of Souls.
lol when i saw the title i thought the video was about lucretia's solo
Yeah Lucretia's solo is superb too. Love it to death!
I must agree
@Certyfikowany Przewracacz Hulajnóg Elektrycznych lol what. Just because not everyone can play it it doesn’t make it any less underrated, for a solo to be great it doesn’t have to be easy to play
@Certyfikowany Przewracacz Hulajnóg Elektrycznych 💀if it was bad it wouldn’t underrated
Really good work Shred. Metal music theory is the best music theory
True
I remember as a teenager back in the 90’s, I’d rewind this on my cassette player and listen to the solo over and over. This was in a vacuum so to speak, with no one else to influence my opinion or listening. It’s awesome that this solo has been recognized by the world.
My personal favorite Megadeth guitarist is Chris Poland .. But Marty is right next to him for sure. He's awesome! Jeff Young is also a really good player ... after all, there's no bad guitarist played in Megadeth.
Ditto
Kiko is also up there for me
@@luukderuijter1332 for sure!
RIP rules
True, even Al Pitrelli was a very good guitar player that everyone forgets.
Marty indeed was is and will be the best megadeth lead guitarist 🤘🤘🤘
Marty can't be touched. Nothing conventional about the way he does things. Seen him play the solo live at one of his solo shows. It was incredible
Kiko Loureiro and Marty Friedman are my favorite, both are GENIUS. Chris Poland is one of the most unique guitarists out there though. Great work man!
I love this song. It came out when I was a senior in high school so I kinda felt like it was made for me. My own. My precious.
Jeff Young is the one you're missing. Great player but definitely overshadowed by Marty and Chris.
He missed Kiko Loueriro as well, the guitarist who's currently in the band. I'm pretty sure he's been with them for at least a few years, he's definitely no slouch.
And Al Pitrelli
@Keith Nowak lol, sounds like someone who has never heard Dread and the Fugitive Mind
I’m going with Kiko. He can play every Megadeth’s guitar solos plus his own stuff is great. Will have to wait till he has more than 1 album. Also his solo work is amazing. I have seen Megadeth with Marty so don’t think I’m new to them. Also Kiko seems to be having more fun than any guitarist that’s been in Megadeth. He seems like a fan that got his dream job. Love Megadeth rhythms and solos. Truly great band. Saw a reaction channel that said “Metallica is a bunch of musicians that got together and made something great. Megadeth is just the best of the best.”
Another great one is The Killing Road solo. Kind of like Tornado's evil twin, muahaha
Yea I prefer killing road better actually. One of my favorites
Kiko Loureiro is an awesome Megadeth guitarist, love his work so far
I can't decide between Marty and Kiko. So far Marty has done the best work so far, but it may change, when they will release new album with Kiko
The Solo itself is a story has an intro, The Climax and a great ending. The solo tells you this is how a solo is constructed not just scales.
Chris Poland is my favorite, but Marty is a close 2nd. "Peace Sells, But Who's Buying" and "Rust In Peace" are both masterpieces. It's like choosing between "Ride The Lightning" and "Master of Puppets!" Which Peace do you prefer?
Metallica has a lot of legendary songs, but most part of the solos aren't made with so caution and inspiration like Megadeth does.
Master of puppets is a masterpiece of thrash metal, 'cause the introduction, tempo and lyrics are perfect, but the solo is basically something put there just to not letting the song without solo... listening carefully, you"ll realize that there are a lot of good songs out there, but with solos not so good...
Yeah it's splitting hairs when comparing Megadeth and Metallica. I'd have to say 'Master of Puppets' is, probably, the greatest thrash song ever but, when considering the entirety of their catalogues, I'd have to give it to Megadeth.
Rust in Peace is definitely Megadeths best album (Peace Sells a close second) - with a bunch of absolute killer songs, BUT, in my opinion Ashes In Your Mouth is Megadeths best song. The composition of the song and the soloing (particularly Marty's) for me was the epitome of what made Marty/Nick era Megadeth so very special
I always say that Poison Was the Cure is my favorite song but in reality, it’s definitely Ashes in your Mouth. That is a proper song.
Also Rust in Peace is my response to everyone who says Metallica is better. “I guess, but Metallica doesn’t have a Rust in Peace”.
Kiko for me. Dudes one of the most versatile guitarists alive imo. Conquer or die
Conquer or Die is an acoustic masterpiece.
Yes. I love the work of Kiko in Angra!
Tell me Shred.
Tu ama pq tu é br
Kiko definitely, he is just amazing. He has good finger style too. I'd say Marty is number 2
I've always liked the original Megadeth line-up with Chris more than any of the others, and I really love Chris's style of playing.
If you've never heard it, check out his 1st solo cd Return To Metalopolis.
Really good analysis on this Shred. More like this please.
I love Tornado but am I the only one that loves Dave's solo on Wake up dead just as much?
Wake up dead solo is amazing
Middle solo of devil's island is my fav from the album... just so much style.
I love Dave’s solo in Holy Wars it’s perfect for for the song. Even Marty’s solos in hangar18 are better than tos
I agree with all this. I think People just repeat that this the greatest solo....So therefore everyone repeats that. I agree this solo is cool, but not the best recorded by Megadeth
Lucria is my favorite solo
Marty did not write any of the solos. Chris Poland wrote them. Marty added his touch and polished them to what we have on the release of the finest Megadeth record written. Although countdown to extinction was an awesome follow up. Rust in peace set a shear mind blowing experience for those of us that were old enough to see it's initial release on cassette tape.
@7:13
This lick is basically an ostinato and underlying bass gives the new taste to ostinato each time
@11:04
Fantastic quote. Many people underestimate the power of good harmony and chord progression for writing a great solo. Sometimes with a good progression you can play anything on top and it sounds great(of course notes related to progression). Western music is literally a 2 dimensional music and often the main dimension(harmony) is overlooked. You can jam over a good progression for hours and never get tired.
Keep up the good job bro
Friedman was the best solo guitarist in Megadeth, he wrote some really really nice music with the two Daves and Nick.
My personal favorite Megadeth guitarist is Kiko. I really love his style, and his skill is off the fucking charts
Always dug Marty’s style more, but there is something unique about Chris Poland’s playing, and Chris Broderick’s mastery is insane.
Edit: Kiko is great too
Was going to unsub and report but I saw Rust in the thumbnail and all was well with the world
While i have loved all the guitarists in Megadeth and always fall back to Marty as my overall favorite, I really cant believe you and everyone else left out Al Pitrelli (the guy that directly replaced Marty) in your list of guitarists. That 2000 Rude Awakening tour with Pitrelli and Jimmy DeGrasso on drums is still IMO one of the best sounding live versions of Megadeth ever.
Dave sustaine is the best Megadeth guitarist.
Kiko is my favorite megadeth guitarist, (though i admire marty greatly and hes like the main reason i started listening to megadeth. ) something about kikos performance on conquer or die is just so unmatched.
i have to say that marty’s solo in lucretia and tornado of souls tie for me as the best metal solo i was completely blown away when i first heard lucretia it was like sex for my ears
Lucretia man 🤤 what an experience
Here I was sure it was the ones in "Holy Wars." The ones in "Foreclosure of a Dream" are also outstanding.
This is obviously one of the best ever written, but one of my personal favorites is the Good Mourning solo. It serves as a wonderful work up into Black Friday.
Also, the verse uses minor inversions making it even more interesting
Marty Friedman and Chris Poland are the greatest Megadeth guitarists imo.
The reason i put Chris Poland in there is because he has this unique jazzy and chaotic style that really made pre-Rust in Peace Megadeth so great in its own way.
Every Megadeth guitarist was so different in their own ways.
Not only is the musicianship on this album godlike, but lyrically it's also a masterpiece. As for guitarists, Marty is my favorite only because of Rust in Peace. I would have liked to seen Chris Poland on 1 more album after Peace Sells. He was exceptional as well.
Tornado’s is great, but I always thought the first lucretia solo was his best.
Ron Jarzombek's solo on Rivers Dancing (Gordian Knot) is the best i've heard.
Though I like the tornado of SOLOS more than the ultimate holy wars solo…
I still like Holy Wars more than Tornado of Souls as a whole and I personally think it’s the greatest Megadeth song.
EDIT: Yes, I realize that I didn’t tap the tritone scale 666 times, does that mean the punishment is due?
The drummer here is Shawn drover (Glenn drover’s brother) Broderick came i. When Glenn left but Shawn remained in the band for a few more years and later started “Act of defiance” with Broderick (Broderick is my favorite Megadeth lead guitarist) the bassist if I’m not mistaken is James lomenzo, he stepped in when ellefson and mustaine had a disagreement over royalties, which they eventually got back together on and now he’s back currently after ellefson was dismissed for his ill conduct with that girl online.
Every guitarist who has played for Megadeth brings a different flavor to the music. Chris Poland's playing, with his Jazz Fusion sound, is incredible. I could listen to him play all day, and did years ago when I would listen to one cassette for days at a time. Marty's spices up his solos with arpeggios and exotic scales. His ability to twist and turn like a rollercoaster blows my mind like it did when I first listened to Rust in Peace. Dave's solos I love as well. They are like a chainsaw welding madman at times, full of intensity. He may not play like Chris or know the scales like Marty, but he takes what he does know and uses it to its fullest. As for Kiko and the others, I don't listen to as much Megadeth recorded after Marty left as I should, so I can't give a comment on them.
@Certyfikowany Przewracacz Hulajnóg Elektrycznych Yeah, I realize I misspelled that one but never when back to change it…. As for “So Far….”Jeff Young’s style seemed too close to Dave’s on the album. While cleaner, it just did not feel different enough to me. I wonder if that’s why Jeff’s solos has so much reverb…
Marty hands down. Most unique, most creative, most melodic, best fit over all.

Will you adopt me shred? Mua ha ha
You mentioned that for you, its not the best metal solo. Wondering what you think is the best metal solo of all time?
Flash and the power it holds
@@torcida9 Oh man, there are so many good solo's and I've been listening to Rock N Roll for a long time. I'll pick three that stick with me 1) Kiss - Deuce (Ace Frehley)....superb for its time! , 2) Pantera - Floods & Cemetery Gates (I mean, Dimebag Darrell..need I say more, 2 for 1), 3. Molly Hatchet - Flirtin With Disaster. I could list a whole bunch more but these Solo's have so much soul to me and are timeless.
@@torcida9 Through Eyes of Glass. Case closed.
It's crazy. I never was a big Megadeth fan, but I remember this song really well, and I'm pretty sure that I haven't heard it since that time in the early nineties when I borrowed my friends CD of Rust in Peace. Some quality song writing there.
Marty Friedman
Thank You for all this amazing Information
And For the way its delivered
Top Quality Content
Im no expert, but Rust in Peace was my first Megadeth album so I gotta say Marty Friedman. Still one of my fav albums of all time.
Kiko is also a great lead guitar player. He applies a lot of music theory which makes his solos interesting. I’d say it’s between Marty and Kiko in terms of musical ability.
Marty was the best. His and Dave’s solos in Captive Honor were great!
I remember reading in a Guitar Magazine interview, where Dave said, that Marty made him play cleaner and made him play more melodic and fleshed-out solos. On the otherhand Dave made Marty play more “simple” compared to the Cacophony shredding, so they really supported and made each other better.
James is the King, Dave is the Emperor, Marty is the Prince and Kiko is the Great Duke
WELL PUT !!!!! 🤘🤘
Who the fuck is James
@@maxzapom James LoMenzo, Ellefson's replacement. He's been in the band before.
There are so many gems in the Megadeth catalogue, but tornado is one that even people that aren't metal connoisseurs can appreciate.
Marty! By far! That guy set a whole new standard for every lead guitarist there after! Everyone before him is obsolete and everyone after him derives from his influence!
Kind of? I always found Marty's style to be great and efficient, but I don't really see many use anything from him other than sweep picking despite his style being so easy and there being so much room for additional elements and letting their creativity improve the entire thing with variations...
I still like Chris Poland more, though. Even Marty had trouble with his stuff.
I agree…. Friedman has the absolute signature line. Broderick KIKO n Poland where all great but MEGADETHs best lead guitar player is Friedman. ISNT IT OBVIOUS the BEST MOST PROFICIENT GUITAR record from the band to this date is RUST IN PEACE AND Countdown to Extinction.
I never get tired of this solo
One of my favourite solos too. I think ex-aequo with the solo on "Sodium Pentathol" by Anthrax.
It's so cool because most thrash is in the key of A or E, and it's not normal to use B, which Sabbath used frequently. Gives a different feel
Kiko is the best Megadeth guitarist... Marty is a strong 2nd/or tied, and the most iconic. I love his playing.
@Cameron tbf Marty was playing with megadeth at all of their creative peaks. Kiko is still killing it with a somewhat depleted Megadeth
@Cameron Kiko has no respect for the solos live. pretty irritating
THEY ARE BOTH equally MINDBLOWINGLY AMAZING ..DIFFERENT styles !!!
@@mikegallagher2732 I agree. I just would expect a guy of his caliber to put more effort into playing the solos better
@@paulpereira7113 you ARE correct sir...seems like kiko is just going thru the motions at times so to speak..I WILL SAY that his classical playing as well as his work outside of Megadeth is INCREDIBLE ..
Mustaine's jazz influences are sooooooo good. Catches me off guard every time.
I have always said this is my favorite solo of all time. It's just sooooooo good.
Yes! This! My favorite song on their best album!
Love how you are demonstrating on an acoustic, keep up the dope work!
Scott, did you ever think about playing this song on the acoustic guitar? Those fragments you play are amazing. That's something genuine, you're a great guitarist, why not giving it a try? I'm coming back to this vid over and over again.
Megadeth is an important band. Metallica got lost along the way, but Dave's vision kept Megadeth heavy.
Metallica just got more successful along the way
Metallica didn't get lost lol they showed versatility in not doing the same thing for 40 years.
@@bigbillhaywood1415 yep
They became boring.
You make me want to pick my guitar up after many years of not playing.
Yes. yes.
Tornado is the best Megadeth (and probably metal) solo.
But, do you even Dave shredding in phrygian dominant? I'm talking about last Wake Up Dead solo. I fall in love with that solo everytime.
this song is a masterpiece. One of the great accomplishments of humanity.
I think the solos from Hangar 18 are far for impressive. The phrasing and exotic scale combinations are peak guitar soloing
As a jazz musician, I really can relate to Chris Poland's playing, so I'm going with Chris Poland being Megadeth's best guitarist.
But it's not the greatest Metal solo of all time. It is awesome, though. Alex Skolnick's Practice What You Preach and Return To Serenity solos are better in my opinion. And I like a lot of Kirk Hammett solos better. I don't give a fuck what people say about Kirk, he's amazing to me and has written many great and iconic solos. My Megadeth guitarists ranking.
1. Chris Poland
2. Marty Friedman
3. Kiko Louriero
4. Chris Broderick
5. Al Pitrelli
6. Glen Drover
7. Jeff Young
8. Kerry King
9. The dude that filled in for Chris Poland then went to the dessert to trip on LSD.
Watching this again. Remarks:
- Marty's the best, hands down, but Kiko is one of the greats!
- Dave's playing on this is also stellar!!
- Dave Ellefson got kicked out again, for good this time, sadly...
- Great video, you playing on a folk guitar to illustrate metal is an interesting choice.
The bassist here is James LoMenzo, he was the bassist for White Lion. He left Megadeth on good terms when David Ellefson and Dave Mustaine made nice again but slipped back into the fold for touring after Ellefson was fired.
The drummer is Shawn Drover, arguably the least favorite drummer that has been in Megadeth. He played competently but sounded flat in Megadeth.
Great video and music education!
Been listening to Megadeth forever and I think Kiko may be the best. He is way underrated and I’ve heard some his solos in his previous band. Mind blowing, that’s why Dave got him.
That bassist replaced Dave from The System Has Failed to End Game, And hes back in Megadeth since dystopia.
I heard he played bass for Great White.
Great job. Only thing I will ever say and this is across the board of any piece of music. Sometimes they just write it cuz it sounds right and makes sense to the writer and the rest of us watch on to see the genius they never saw when making the song. They were just going for something that sounded great and heavy with some twists and turns
Yeah, I always think the same, this guys were just making riffs that came to mind, what they thought it would sound nice and people would like, using no more than imagination, I doubt Mustaine had a clue of what this guy is saying throughout the video, the fact that people that are masters in music theory can deconstruct this pieces of music, and show to everyone how the harmonic progression its perfectly written, just demonstrates how genius Mustaine is
The eye of the tornado is actually the safest place.
Chris Poland: Unique odd scaling
Marty Friedman: Graceful solos
That's from me, I guess.
Chris Broderick nailing here every single note of that solo. Respect.
Why on Earth would you use a version of this song with Broderick playing instead of Friedman? 😂
Interestingly, Marty will be the first to tell you he doesn't know much about music theory, and the level of analysis you put forth into this solo is far and above the analysis that went into composing it. Marty just understands this stuff intuitively, not academically. It's crazy how great he is without being able to describe a lot of the theory behind his compositions. He's a natural virtuoso.
I saw them in Houston December 0f 92 w suicidal tendencies.
Dave and Marty's solos were Amazing. Especially on tornado,and Holy wars
Forclosure Of A Dream, for me!
That solo is perfect!
Marty all the way!
I feel that the most iconic Megadeth lineup is Dave, David, Marty and Nick. Marty gave Megadeth that push that the band needed to overcome the Metallica shadow and gave them legitimacy. Any guitarist that Megadeth has had over the years are extremely powerful in their own way and only contributed to the keeping of the Megadeth. You have to be good to keep up with Dave. But Marty in my opinion was the one that put the band in the spotlight.
Marty is definitely the most talented. Dave's writing chops are second to none though. He's a riffmaster.
His ability to write, play, and sing all at once is beyond belief.
Marty couldn’t have showcased those talents if it wasn’t for the bullheaded professional that Dave has proved to be. It was meant to be. Marty and Dave should both embrace that nothing Kirk or James or anybody else has ever done it so smart. Tornado of Souls is the heavy metal equivalent of a precision guided smart bomb.
tornado of souls in general might be one of the best songs in metal. the solo helps, but the songwriting really exceeds everything in that era. Its just so driven and makes you want to move.
It is really hard to say which guitarist is "best". Chis Poland is a BEAST. Listen to his solo material. Marty is a monster also, and he played on their greatest, epic album Rust In Peace.
To me Marty made some of the best solos compositionally since Randy Rhodes who is my favorite metal guitarist. Both understood that understanding musical theory and chops/shredding was just the basic framework. One had to take those frameworks and skills and serve the songs those solos were going to exist in and in the context of metal they're the two best that have ever done it in my opinion -- both made flawless compositions on guitar.
Kiko Loureiro. There is a video of him and Tosin Abasi on TH-cam where Kiko shows all of this crazy ass brazilian stuff he plays, which impressed me more than any Megadeath song haha.
I think this is the greatest solo of megadeth, but holy wars aways will be my favorite song (maybe because it was the first metal song i ve ever listened to)
Good video/analysis. Weird choice of reference material though. Broderick couldn’t play it note for note, and plenty of vids on YT of Marty nailing it.
YO just found you and i am stoked to suscribe. Hey man we got the same PRS ACOUSTIC. Sounds really good.
