Alex, I disagree I have both of your signature Guitars one hard tail, and one with the Floyd Rose they both sound different but one does not sound better than the other. They are outstanding Guitars! 20:16 20:16

The truly great guitarists, when citing influences or inspirations, always draw from a deep well. The typical shredder will say "I was listening to Dimebag" or "I was listening to Def Leppard" or something. The greats say "I was listening to flamenco, Jeff Beck, or this mariachi guy, John McLaughlin, Bach, SRV..."

I noticed something weird. I have seen 2 different tutorials of this solo (this and a different one) and in each one Alex omits the same 4 bar section of the solo! Those of u who know the solo really well probably noticed. I'm not a lead guitarist or a theory whiz but it's a section where he does an ascending tritone (I think) lick with legato trills and its ends with 2 handed tapping. Can't be a coincidence that he skipped that part in 2 different vids haha. It would've occurred at 12:30 in this vid.

@tobyhall8048 6 жыл бұрын
Megadeth and Metallica do it too now days, it's because the vocalists have gotten older, in men this generally causes a deepening of your voice. If you notice in the start of the video he says the solo uses a melody based on the songs vocal melody, as their vocalist can no longer reach the same higher notes Alex tunes his guitar down to match.

hrosemd I would say Marty Friedman is easily on par with Skolnick. There are some other great thrash lead guitarists out there like Holt, Waters and Dimebag, but Friedman and Skolnick always stood out as the best lead thrash guitarists for me.
