Thank you (I'm learning this at 1 am lol)

Great job, this is my first time catching one of your videos, and your teaching style is spot on.

What it sounds to me at the end of the chorus is, you position your fingers for the D chord, but add the sus4, then during the last 2 measures of the chorus, you play the Sus4, then lift the middle and pinky, then press down again the middle finger to make it a D major again. Sounds good to my ears.

Thank you..sounds great in standard, saving me tuning time. Love it!

Well explained, thanks mate.

Way to nitpick things normal people listening to the cover band don’t care about… that also don’t alter the song to most listeners.

love it

Hands down best tutorial on this song. Detailed but not laborious. Perfect. Thanks so much. A lot of bad tutorials floating out there on this one. Happy to finally land on this. PS: is it just me who's brain goes numb when people do the up up down stuff or the count to try to teach strum patterns...I can only ever get strum by feel. Lol

Always loved the swing of the very beginning part of Section 4 in Marty's solo soo cool sounding!

Great video. Before I saw your video, I had to figure out that slide to an open D (using the C shape) myself instead of that dumb hammer-on part that everyone plays wrong. There are even people giving lessons on youtube teaching it with the hammer-on method that sounds so wrong.

I play it a little differently than you, but i took some of the parts you play different and used some of those ways instead of the way I originally played it because its easier but like that appeggio the high E string 12th fret to 7th fret... 2nd, 3rd and 4th string all 9th fret instead of taking the last note of that down to 2nd fret.

The main riff sounds close but everything else just doesn't sound right in standard. The chorus for example, John does a whole walk-up thing that you just can't replicate in standard because you don't have the open strings at your disposal. Instead you just play boring regular D and Dsus chords there to compensate, it's just not the same though. Call me a stickler but you gotta play it in the original tuning or what's the point? Why play something 80% right when you can easily play it near 100% just by playing it in the right tuning? Don't be lazy.

I realize this is very old. But nevertheless im gonna try for a response to a quick question lol. Im just curious where or how you came across the tabs, or did you learn it by ear. As one of my favorite solos EVER, I've always tried learning to play it. And over the years of always listening and looking over new tabs that periodically come out, i thought i had the notes pretty much down. Except for maybe 2 or 3 of the really fast legatos and arpeggios. But in the very first section of your video i already noticed sbout 2-3 different or missing notes from my version. That's the only reason im asking about where you learned. Peace bro!

Great video! I love the sound of the alternate tuning but unless all you are playing is Goo Goo Doll songs it's a pain to have to retune.

Thank you. This is very helpful.

Finally someone plays it right.

Super helpful! I needed to learn this for a cover band and there was no way I was tuning my guitar to the original!

Dude! Nice job. I can alternate tune and played it just like the record, but what a pain!

Best statement. Best Guitarist :ever 1 thru 10. Edward. Now lets talk sbout 11 and12 VH4EVER!!!¡

Really love u man you learn me this solo

Thanks ❤, and thats true about learning it right thevfirstvtime through..the tab sure did help ..peace

TYSM FOR TELLING ME THIS

Did you cover the Name by goo already ?

Best lesson on this tune. Love your attention to detail and getting it right.

thank you very much very clear everything is shown!!

Do you have a version of you playing and singing this?

thanks - i didn't realize i was playing the intro wrong. i think the pre-chorus riff has the lowest note as an A (actual sounded pitch Bb) in the recording, though, instead of the D.

This is the most accurate version. How come you didn’t do other Megadeth solos?

Great lesson!

You got the first note wrong. Way to start off on the wrong foot.

Fantastic, I was struggling with that last bit! :) Thanks

great tutorial ,I hope you make more

I WAS playing it WRONG. You just set me free to SLIDE.

Lol I don’t mean to dunk but you didn’t take your own advice about the finger off at 3:50

I’m going to learn this version for gigs! Love this!

Nice job! Very helpful, positive and well presented. No fluff to your lessons

1:44 sweeping part slow 6:51 sweep lesson

Great job. Very informative!

Great vid!!!

I really appreciate your precision and your attempt to play the exact phrasing as Marty. Thank you very much!

dude you look like Kirk Cameron no offense..

Thank you so much. I wanna learn this song for a special woman and your video will help me a lot 😊

Keep shining as brightly as you do!! Find out how your competition ranks better > P-R-O-M-O-S-M!!!

Great video, BJ! When do we get to jam again? 😎🤘

At the start, isn't it a flat 6th in the F# major scale? It's bothering me how to describe this in theory (just because I'm trying to improve my theory side, having learnt the solo a while ago). Doesn't appear to be a mode in its own right, but just an ionian mode with a flat 6th. Hopefully it just goes to show that theory isn't that important and you just play the notes you like the sound of!

This is handy thanks

Great job! very smooth

Awesome!

So good
