- Chris Broderick of Megadeth (ex Jag Panzer and Nevermore) playing a 5 octave two handed tapping arpeggio riff, one of three examples that was done for Guitar Worlds "Betcha can't play this" column. It wasn't used because it is performed on a seven string and they wanted it to appeal to all guitarists. The other two examples are in the October 2006 issue of Guitar World.
He's right...I can't
why would you want to
@@raoulduke8720 cause its cool af
My brain cant even play it.
lol bro you made laugh a lot 🤣 no sarcasm tho
I remember coming across this video years ago (10+) when I was first learning how to play guitar. It's cool to have it served up again by the algorithm. Kind of a nostalgia trip.
Also, I still can't play this.
Haha, was waiting for the last bit. Same exact thing happened to me. Lol
Same dude……..🤘🏻🤣🤘🏻
This dude is a dang animal ridiculous. My favorite guitar player is Dimebag Darrell but I’m not a stupid idiot I know lots of guys blow him out of the water
Same here. Saw this back in 2009 I believe. Feels so nostalgic. Also of importance , I still can't play this.
I literally just said the same to my friend now. And i see this comment haha
I'm getting really good at the first note.
Hahah :D
Lol.I still got nothing, i cant even get the " bethca cant play this" bit :)
i am a bassist Dzvid Ellefson could havr won the grammy on his solo rendition of Dystopia
I can't even type on my keyboard that fast
There was a first note?
"Hi, this is Chris Broderick, and you're going to be playing bass after seeing this."
+popeluigi hahahahahahahahah!!!!
yeah now it happened to Matt Bachand lol
hahaha
not really.. for a pro guitarist, what he did is quite simple.. guthrie govan could improvise that shit faster and better..
Or john petrucci or greg howe.. these guys are beasts
Should change the title to: I Know You Can't Play This
... and I Can !
lol!
@@soulsstreet7 post it on your channel
@@thanosquill5542 i can’t jajajaj
weird looking piano you got there..
"let me play that slowly now"... I still have no idea what he is doing.
Hurts because its true.
His slow is my superfast 😆
Lets become vocalists.
+Rajdeep Chowdhry or Bassists.
+Leandro Escudero or drummers
Fuck that. Let's become editors
Or rodies
Rythm Guitarist and Vocalist... Oh fuck still harder XD
It's so great that he took the most basic scales and turned them into a breathtaking solo.
those are not basic scales, those are arpeggios.
@@fabioalmeida4209 and also not a solo 😄
@@Darquilibrium25 Oxford dictionary definition for "a solo": "a piece or passage of vocal or instrumental music for one performer". So, technically, yes, it is a solo...
@@Darquilibrium25 get rek't and ratio'd dork
Technically I can play that. He did say that that was a VI V I in the key of E minor, so I can play it, just with about a million less notes.
Technically you're full of shit =)
rol0511 He's right idiot. Broderick played arpeggiated riffs bassed off of those chords.You can play it in a 6, 5, 1 chord progression.
The I would be a “i”. Lowercase indicates a minor chord
@Lily Nave everyone knows what he meant.
"Alright so that was a 6-5-1 in a key of ending your career as a guitarist"
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣
LoLz 😂
"Betcha can't play THIS!"
'listens a few seconds'
Um, yeah YOU WIN...
It's really not THAT hard; the hardest part is getting it up to speed. I can play this at around 75-80% speed on a good day.
surgeyX Well you've got ME beat...
+surgeyX
"well its not that hard, except it is. nice."
+Basell
You know what I meant fuckwad...It seems like it's impossible just looking at him play it but if you break it down and start slow it can be done with some practice. :P Go fuck yourself plz k thx.
+surgeyX you are the moron fuckwad junkiecystal meth moron
If anyone remembers the old 'betcha cant play this' guitarists did, this was the hardest/best overall video by a margin
yeah all of the others had like 70% dislikes etc and this was the only one that was 90% positive xD
This was next level at the time, can't believe it's 17 years old
Michael Romeo's moonlight sonata was pretty rad too
Hi, this is Chris Broderick, throw away your guitars.
megadeth boot camp was a. nightmare in hell.mustaine's pittbull looking wife too much. surgery slits for eyes could not hide her INSANE JEALOUSY that mustaine enjoyed her revenge. thus i have suffered death threat after death threat. mustaine thinks it is really funny that his current wife is provoked to murder me. basically i hate all music of megadeth now. do like beginning of sorrow but have not listened to any megadeth dince that ill fated march weekend at his estate in fallbrook. the way i see it i wont ever listen to that music i am now a bass player planninh to sell the dean angel and rc bch and inanez and find musicians to jam with
funny. how mustaine has the ssme effect on every life he contacts destroys or murders. if he dorsnt murder your body he definitely murders your soul he and his pyg wyfe deserve each other two
soulmates who force you to hate them both.

"Hi, this is Chris Broderick, and you're going to have your dreams crushed in 1 minute 35 seconds."
he's right. I can't play it
Hi I'm Chris Broderick, and you are getting ready to put your guitar down in disgust and do something else.
Hey this is Chris Broderick ,and I bet you didn't have chest hair like me when you were 12.
😂
he's so chill about it
You have to be. There's no way not to be chill about doing something at that level lol! You gotta relax through it and let muscle memory do its thing.
+Chris Rowan you gotta look constipated in order to sound good.
brb need to find myself an extra left arm
Plays like he sold his soul to Satan
Talks to the camera like he's Bob Ross
What an absolute beast of a player!
I love how his fingers are solo fluid like and natural.
Come on Broderick, have mercy of us!!
"Hey this is Chris Broderick and you're watching the first TH-cam video ever made, guaranteed to make you drop guitar playing forever"
for anyone wondering. 6-5-1 in e minor. look at the e minor scale. the 6th note is C, which happens to have a major tonality in this key. 5th note is B, which also has major tonality. and the first note is E, which of course is minor. what he does is arpeggiate really big forms of the Cmaj, Bmaj, and Emin chords. he really makes it sound alot more complicated than it is theoretically.
This, this takes Eddie Van Halen's work to a next level. This is the evolution of shred guitar.
I was brought here because I searched "Things Marty Friedman can't play".
He sure can easy but Marty doesn't use tapping he doesn't need to use it, Chris is about 50 levels under Marty's level sweetheart
dizzy coconut
There is no such thing as "doesn't need to". You either can or can't do something, and Marty Can't, Chris can. End of story, fanboy.
Nicole Smrekar
Marty cant? lol you can do tapping after a few months of learning guitar you bimbo....... you got no clue about guitar you are like the 14 year old metalhead that gets impressed from tapping.............. its not his style he doesnt use tapping he doesnt use tremolo, and he doesnt use effects if you think he cant play this you know as much about guitar as i know about nails.................bimbo
dizzy coconut you can't do this kind of tapping after a few months of learning to play guitar you stupid fanboy... but if you can, let us see it, upload your cover or something like this
arcykaplanhehe
listen fuckwit read before you comment,first of all i said you can play tapping in general after few months not this one..... and after a couple of years you can play this one too with practice, i play for 17 years so i am pretty sure i can play it, i have tornado of souls cover if you want to see so you can stop breaking my balls i can play martys solo(not as good as him of course but still ok) so i am pretty sure i can play this shit. what about you can you even play? and the argument was that MARTY cant play it NOT ME so what you say is pointless, if you think that friedman cant play this then you are as dumb as the bimbo........
That's my warming up exercise before I stretch my fingers
Yeah I can't play it. Don't have a seven string.
Hahahahahahaha
Same
the coordination and focus it takes to do this is absolutely mindblowing. The fact that he can do it at a blistering pace is just one of the reasons why he is a guitar GOD, yes I said it, he has surpassed master. No matter how long you play none of us will ever been this good probably.
honestly it's a little... scrappy. he's done far, far more godly stuff
Title: betcha can’t play this
Every guitarist: *sweats nervously*
I've watched this literally thousands of times over the last decade and it's actually getting better.
"Hi, i'm Chris Broderick .....throw away your guitar"
He plays it like a fucking piano.
I am so jel
So jel? For fuck sake!
His mother played the piano, lol.
Tony Stark watch Chris Broderick Chaos Theory where he describes how he developed his unique style of two handed tapping
Let me play that slower for you now.
Oh yeah, now I get it!
in slow motion version it sound a little like Final Fantasy theme
After watching this video, I can say without a dooubt that Chris Broderick is my favorite pianist.
Definitely the best of Betcha Can't Play This.
someone bring this series back
Nah, we are waiting for 15 years to someone solve the first video
14 years later, nobody can play this!
Gus Drax played it.

Enjoy.
80's: we have the keytar lol
2006: we have de guiboard
Why doesn't Dave let him play like this on the albums?? What a waste...
Because there is something that separates Megadeth from the millions of Asian 5-year-old "guitar prodigies" who could probably play this and the thousands of death metal bands that can sweep pick and tap like there's no tomorrow. It's one thing to be good with your hands but it takes one in a billion to have the ingenuity think up an orchestra like the album "Rust in Peace".
Prime Number Theorem you fucking nailed that.
@@Super.AmmarI0 NEEEEEERD
Well Dave did actually, on the Live in San Diego 2008. Chris played this exactly as an intro to Tornado of Souls.
@@jeremycubs8331 Link? Pls
This guy is amazing!
because in theory, it is just a few scales.
In reality, it is a incredible musical composition.
People who answered your comment are right, it's still tapping (with 2 hands, note that Chris only uses one or 2 fingers with his right hand per string here), which is a form a legato.
Also this technique is used more often by accoustic players (Andy McKee and Jon Gomm come to mind), also by electric players like Buckethead or Stephan Joubert. Check them out.
Abasi, Broderick, Marty, Andy, Petrucci are all great technical metal guitar players don't see the point in arguing which one is better, kinda dumb there all good.
They're
What about Loomis?
Nahhhh… Jeff Loomis is 100% there as well.
Broderick.
😆
Chris "Hi, im chris Broderick and i betcha cant play this"
Plays anything at all every
Me: wow! Your right, i cant play that!! Cool Thumbs up to trying though lol
what does 651 means?
VI V i in a minor key. It's a common turnaround. If it is in the key of C# minor, as the lick in this video, you'd have Amajor, G#major and then C# minor.
His demeanor right after melting everyone's face with his playing;
"...so anyways.."
Kirk Hammet just realized how useless he is once again
Kirk Hammett was so good at one point in his career, now he's probably not even one of the top 50 best metal guitar players right now.
as useless as this comment?
Still has better songs though...
***** Very true
***** Haha don't get carried away man.. Yeah kids can learn his stuff but that's part of Metallica's mass appeal; they're more accessible, nothing they do is all that technical. Bottom line is your commenting on a guy who has made millions on the road for the best part of 33 years blasting out thousands of shows. I'd imagine if one got the chance to jam with him they'd accept that he's pretty fucking good!!
YOU CAN PLAY THIS. My advice for other guitar players: start by playing it slowly. Like, WAY slower than Chris' slowed version. set your metronome to 80bpm and play one note per beat. Then, when you can do that, set the metronome to 90 bpm and play it a few times on here. Then set it to 100.... and so on. YOU CAN PLAY THIS, you just need to start very slow until you're comfortable with the movements, then you will eventually be able to play at any speed. I guarantee that Chris himself started playing this far more slowly than he does here.
keep thrashing, motherfuckers:D
+Owen Miller you don't have the tabs for this lick dumbass, how are you suppose to play this when you don't have the transcription, and tabbing this, would be very hard lol at thinking practice alone can make you play like these virtuosos, not gonna happen
Aizen It is on Songsterr.com under the name Betcha Can't Play This by Chris Broderick. And everyone comes from nothing, my friend. It just takes practice and the will to understand.
And it wouldnt be that difficult to tab, because he tells you the scales he uses, and its not that hard to see the notes he plays in this video.
+Owen Miller is not about practicing more and more, but practicing correctly, you can practice this slowly with a metronome all you want, and you may attain some speed, but sooner or later you will get stuck, mainly because your technique is not adequate, trying more times will only give the same failed result, you cannot bully your way to shred, is all about technique and also talent plays a huge role, if you think about what do you use when you play guitar? your coordination, brain, how fast your mind processes things, also your finger physiology plays a role too, there are muscles, nerves, tendons, bones and everyone's is different, some people naturally have strong muscles and tendons in the hand, which gives them an advantage, you can't have just a fast mind, or proper finger physiology, one cannot work without the other, the most difficult part of shred believe it or not, is not the right hand picking, that is actually fairly easy to correct, the most difficult part is the left hand, there is no shortcut around it, except years of training, proper practice to slowly build up strength, dexterity without fucking your selfup with tendonitis and carpal tunnel, some people develop speed so slowly despite proper practice, that it will take them decades to reach such level, while for others it comes easier, it is what it is, this can be observed in sports too, some people are just mentally and physiologically inclined, they have an advantage over others
Aizen you are exactly right. That was what I actually said... When I gave my advice, I assumed playing it correctly was a given! Many people in the comments were intimidated by the speed and accuracy. Once you get the accuracy right (at a slow tempo) you can build speed on top of that, whilst retaining accuracy! What exactly have you added to what I said?
Too bad chris and Shawn left. best wishes for both of them. as much as I love megadeth they are hanging by a thread
New title for this video: I can play, you can’t.
I bet Tosin Abasi is like... Well I can't play this... :D
I'm sure it goes both ways, we can always learn from each other.
Tabs or it didn't happen
there go's my hopes in one solo hahaha
what type of amp was he using? I use a line 6 and i cant tap a lot of stuff and it can't be heard through the amp. i want an amp where tapping can easilt be heard in the amp.
His just left Megadeth!!
***** To be honest Broderick never suited Megadeth, his a good guitarist but his very robotic and style was never thrash metal some Megadeth fans won't be upset by this some will but i just hope it's not the death of this band.
best. decision. ever.
Shawn Drover also left.
bunch of noise.. scales running around.. Marty is 100 times the guitarist he is
DarthMuse Chris Adler from Lamb Of God and Kiko Loureiro from Angra just joined Megadeth.
I got a feeling that this would sound much nicer if it was played with clean tone .. well, maybe it's just me.
Who the fuck is Betcha?
A mortal human being just like the rest of us, hence he can't play this.
Hands down this was the best betcha can’t play this ever. I remember being like 11 years old, 3 years into playing and my jaw droppedZ
love to see Broderick say that to Tosin Abasi lol
Tosin is more a jazz/fusion guy, not a classical. He's also nowhere near as clean as Broderick
Before you get all upset, I LOVE Animals as Leaders. I've seen them live a few times and have seen Tosin at a guitar clinic. He's pretty sloppy.
jeleopard I agree to a certain extent. However it starts to come down to opinion. But yes I agree Tosin can be a bit sloppy at times I've seen in other video's. Don't get me wrong Broderick is a fantastic guitarist, but arr man I would love to see Tosin live though:)
Tom Dickinson Animals is a pretty good show, but it's just a different style of playing than Broderick. Given time, Abasi could do this, as could anyone, really.
jeleopard agreed.
Michael Angelo Batio would win..
Christ Broderick got NOTHING on Andy James, just saying.
I'm sorry but no,.... Andy James is a great player. But if your referring to the cheat taps he does with his sweatband being better, your smoking crack. i like listening to andy but would never say hes better than chris, Andy doesn't even play with other musicians, and this guy sells out arenas with megadeth. Case closed. Im sorry but anyone who uses a sweatband to play clean is a chump. Just my humble opinion.
Codie Waldvogel Sorry man, but you have absolutely NO IDEA what you're talking about. There are no, "Cheap" taps in his music, matter of fact, the ONLY thing he uses his hairbands for, is for recording. He doesn't use it live, at all, just for the studio, or when he does EMG TV shows. Andy actually DOES play with other Musicians, he's played with Black Label Society, DREAM THEATER, he's actually be picked out and recognized by John Petrucci HIMSELF, to do an album with him. Matter of fact, the only reason why Broderick is in Megadeth is because of 2 reasons. 1. Being that Broderick is older than James, about 10 or 12 years older than him, and Mustaine really only hires people in his own age group, that's why he didn't let Jeff Loomis in Megadeth. 2. Andy James had some solo work done, but his popularity and career is really kicking off NOW. Also, don't bring selling arena's either, because the dude has been doing that with his band, Sacred Mother Tongue (I don't care for them much) Look, I like Broderick, he's technical, that's it. He's basically a robot, he can play anything, but have you heard what he produces? It's just boring ol' shredding, same key, same sweeps, he's what's known as a "Boring shredder" While Andy can play just as fast, just as technical, as Broderick, and make it more melodic, while heavier at the same time. Just remember this, while Chris is restrained to using his full potential (Dave wont let him use anything, like 7 strings or his tremolo bar) Andy James is gaining even more skill with John Petrucci right now. I know this is a long ass comment, but the boy is a prodigy, he's like the Jason Becker of this generation.
Codie Waldvogel Oh yeah, and Marty Friedman used hairbands in the studio as well, matter of fact, LOTS of musicians do that. From Van Halen, to Page, to anyone, you name it. It's a REALLY common thing. I highly doubt those people are "Chumps"
FusedPower agree with everything you just said, except the fact that its all the "same sweeps". even if that was true, the only reason this doesn't sound so great it because it has no rhythm guitars to back it up. Andy does. If this had another guitar even doing something simple as playing power chords over it, it would automatically sound a lot more melodic
Fair enough, that's true. I like them both. I shouldn't even be comparing musicians like I did. Either way, they're both miles ahead of me, lol.
It's not fucking fair!
The time has passed and It is now proven. Nobody ever played this other than Chris. I think Chris won the bet.
what if I cant afford a seven string guitar T.T
Then you can't play this lol.
nope..definitely cannot play that..
I can't play this - nor do I want to...
Poor Betcha, I hope he can learn it one day 😢
Just my 2 cents, this lick has no musical context, so yeah there's no "soul", but that's not the point of the video, it's a betcha can't play this vid, or 20 seconds of shredding with no melodic purpose.
I doubt that most of the people commenting here though know anything about this "soul" they like to talk about, and about music overall anyway.
Lastly this lick is made of arpeggios (or "broken chords", here base around Em), which are among the basics of music. So yes, this is still music.
Marty's one single bend is worth more than this whole tapping.............
nothing against chris hes great but............
Agreed. There's always room in this world for a wide range of talent, and specific playing and writing styles... But really great music, the best music, is felt, and not just heard...
That can be read in so many ways.
***** Nobody has talked about Slipknot, what'cha trying to do troll more people than usual?
It's a Betcha can't play this video. Do you know what that is? Can you read? If you can't, then you're excused. However, if you are capable of reading and understanding what the title means, then you're an idiot, because you still posted that garbage nonsense--completely missing the whole point of this video. Do you realize that? I'm sure you do, but you're obviously such a hater of Chris(and probably technical players in general) that it didn't stop you from bagging on him and fanboying over Marty anyway(even though it's totally irrelevant). Why do people feel so insulted by technique? When they see some guy who has technique that is so damn developed like Chris, they get oh so defensive and attack him, as if the guy did something wrong; that's close-mindedness for you.
*The guitarist that was too good for megadeth*
every time this is played, a young guitarist's confidence is thrown out the window...never to be seen again.
It's more impressive when they can actually play it slowly because it's so unnatural. Does anyone want to buy 5 guitars?! I've got 2 Ibanez, a BC Rich, an Epiphone and a Gibson for sale............
i dont play guitar, is this supposed to sound good? just sounds like a bunch of gibberish.
definitely wasn’t clean, but if played well would sound amazing
That guitar is now part of the “Me too”, movement.
I wish you tube was available when I started playing guitar.
Its been nearly 15 years since I saw this when I first picked up the guitar.
I think I can learn how to play this now.
just bought a new guitar and finding guitar lessons and i come up to this... my
excitement to learn was vanquished
Is this is the same solo as he did in I think 07 before tornado of souls
Nothing sexier than everything here..the guitar playing/ his looks/the level of expertise! wow!
This video is better than anything he's ever done before or will likely ever do after this video.
+Neonym so i guess you are not aware of his work with jag panzer nevermore and act of defiance
That looks very cool! I will give it a try....learning and sharing, to me that is what its all about, I have seen him with Megadeth in concert, awesome band and awesome concert! I look forward to hearing what they do past the Marty era:)
You im getting really good at this, absolutley perfected the first 1 to 5 hammer on!
Is there some music somewhere in all of this? Just asking.
He's using arpeggios to outline a C major (the 6 chord when in E minor, because C is the sixth note of the E minor Scale) then a B major ( the 5 chord, because B is the fifth to E minor,) then he outlines E minor ( the 1 chord, because E is the first note, or root note, o the E minor scale, which is the key that this lick is in.
Theese "betcha can't play this" stuffs makes "Fletcher effect" on me. Love it!
i love his demeanor after he finishes. u expect him to throw up the horns, but he just crosses his hands and calmly explains this simple beginner scale
I always come to watch this video for inspiration, as I am new to playing guitar. I always leave with two thoughts.
1. This man is a guitar god.
2. I should quit playing because I suck.
Thankyou!...Thats what I've been saying on just about all of his videos & the thing that bothers me is that MegadetH fans don't know where he came from, they think he's "new" they think that he magically droped outta the sky into Mustaines palm or something, but you are indeed right in all ways...Broderick's best work was with Jag Panzer from The Age of Mastery(1998)-Casting the stones (2004).
this is megastar!(from the USA). greetings from marcus, germany, mr broderick! \m/
I remember seeing this years ago and it's still unbelievable... Couldn't do then and still can't
I can play this in my sleep. Unfortunately that is the only place I can play it :(
Hi, I’m Chris, I’m going tap shred and then describe it to you like you’re a minuscule nothing. Honestly haunting how good that was
in case you are confused...this video was recorded when Chris was still in Jag Panzer and he uses taps like this in his solos with the band....you should listen to Jag Panzer more often
Seems simple, is simple, but the speed and the skills, is legend...wait for it! DARY! Legendary!
This videos gives me inspiration to carry on mastering technicality.
Everyone in TH-cam chat can play this effortlessly….
It's actually a chord progression playing the 6th, 5th, and 1st chords in a key. In E minor it gives you a C major, B major and E minor respectively. In this case he arpeggiates them.
Try watching this at half speed. It's hilarious during the speaking bits, obviously, but sort of distressing during the actual example in hearing how uneven it sounds. Still one of my favorite examples of all time, but I had never thought to try this, and it was sort of eye opening.
He was still in Jag Panzer at this point...Good memories from his work with them.
