Megadeth - Tornado of Souls - Guitar Tab | Lesson | Cover | Tutorial

[@Mr.Tabs.Guitar.Lessons]

Thanks for your requests!!! Had a lot of fun with this tune! I watched some live videos, I noticed Mustaine grabs some chords with an upstroke. Sometimes he uses alternate strokes for the verse riff, other times I see him only using downstrokes. How do you feel it out? I guess that is the most important thing. I went with downstrokes with the whole song except for the intro riff. For the solo, he plays it different live. I cover the original take. And for this version, it didn’t sound to me like he does any crazy finger stretches in measure 198. I went with my gut. Have fun with this one guys! Thanks for your support!

Only the one of the best solos in metal history :/

[@mrmaybe]

This solo really exposed my weaknesses as a guitar player. Marty is so outside the box in comparison to most metal guitarists with his approach to solo writing and application of theory.

[@anonymouswombat8538]

Right ? He is so sophisticated and technical, yet organic and full of taste. As i grow old, most of the "classic metal" solo work has grown stale on me. Having mostly moved into other genres, Marty is the guy that i turn back to from time to time, and i cant help but smile. His solos are still hard to play even today, and they still sound as fresh and as original as ever. They absolutely hold up. Damn, they are still some of the finest work a metal soloist has done, even by today's guitar standards. Absolutely untouchable.

[@Jamespm666]

@@anonymouswombat8538 You guys are spot on - Marty lends an unmistakable feel to the albums he was a part of.

[@lawyerlawyer1215]

I also find the initial/main riff to be a bit confusing. Took me nearly half an hour to properly play it. By ear , I thought I was going to have it in 10 min but no haha

I've heard this solo played by so many guitar players and throug so many years... but, the difference with yours is the details in the quality of bendings, speed variations, the accuracy in the notes, Congrats, I really enjoy see you

[@Mr.Tabs.Guitar.Lessons]

Thanks man, that really means a lot!

[@JeanLoupRSmith]

Really really well done there. Tornado of Souls has got to be one of Marty's most difficult solos to play during his time in Megadeth and you pulled it off really impressively.

[@leom861]

How much beautiful is this solo?!? I have listened it at least 100 times and still blow me away. Best solo ever. Marty is a genius.

last edited: 2nd august [final update] im gonna try to learn this solo, will update [I LEARNED IT, and in full speed!!!] day 1: learned it till 3:43 mark, took me about 10-15 minutes and extra 5 minutes to be able to play it in 0.75 speed day 2: able to play until 3:48, my current goal is to learn the solo untill that mark in original tempo (or at least close) and then move on onto the hard part week2/day11: learned until 4:00 (with tapping), i got even more motivated thanks to someone telling me to update thank you archie day 13: can play it in 0.75 until 4:00 with ease, some parts are still hard for me in original speed but i can play most of it. remaining 9 seconds are hard for me, i kind of want to stop learning this here but i can’t give up now since i exceeded my expectations lmfao, to be honest i didn’t think i would get this far with learning this. it’s not perfect but im proud of myself since i thought i would give up on first or second day but i didnt. day 15: learned it until 4:02, 7 seconds left day 19: I FUCKING DID IT, I LEARNED THE WHOLE SOLO! i just need to learn to play it in original speed but yeah i did it day 20: my string broke while i was practicing this so i won’t be able to update/play until i change my strings day 48: finally changed my strings, i got my motivation back. only part i forgot was sfter 4:00 so it’s not that bad, i’ll now re-learn that part/remember it and after i get callouses again i’ll start updating frequently again! day 54: i re-learned/remembered part after 4:00, now i only have to learn the solo in full speed. im confident that i will do it by end of the summer day 61: so this is final day and update of this journey. i learned the whole thing in original tempo (but not every time i play it is perfect tho) and its a minute or less than a minute long depending on each try. i did change some parts according to my skill and i dont play the whole thing after 4:00 just some “key” parts so it still sounds like the original solo (and marty himself doesnt play that part the same every single time so i think its okay i changed it a bit). im proud of myself and im proud that i learned this. its not perfect, but keeping my skill in mind (and that i dont know sweep picking) i think i did a perfect job (i have been playing for 5 years). i’ll keep on practicing this so i can perfect it completely and hopefully in the future i will play it 100% like the original. thank you everyone who was interested in this, kudos to people who made me motivated to keep on going and who reminded me to practice. i hope this inspired someone to not give up. rock on \m/

Everyone's talking about the solo, and its certainly among the best...but how about that rhythm track! Complex, melodic, always changing, and Mustaine somehow manages to sing well while playing it. Absolutely astounding. Not just the skill to perform it all - but to also write this masterpiece.

[@strawman3059]

Absolutely, marty really listens to the rhythm when soloing

[@pelicanine]

The whole of Rust in Peace is phenomenal melodically, but this song really stands out to me. The whole composition of it is fantastic all the way through!

[@idont_know]

Ну прям "поёт" - ты загнул конечно.

[@albertom9685]

Totally agree. This is a masterpiece with so many variations of the riff that makes it worth ir every second you hear the song from start until the end. I can never get tired of listening to this song again and again
