Chris Broderick and Gus G Teach Each other Shred Licks, Talk New Projects

[@stevegilmour6692]

Lol all the people commenting that probably play a Hendrix lick and think they are cool. Or stairway to heaven. All the people that are hating on this. Post your own videos. Jealousy is a curse. Like it or not. These guys have spent so much and dedication to get to the point they are at. Respect needs to be given. I do play guitar as well btw and have done so for 20 years

[@NandoGilMetal]

I can't wait til 30 years from now when I'm still not as good as these guys...

[@evanfrazier7860]

Right? 😂

[@wmxx2000]

***** 30 years of playing everyday for hours we may be halfway there

[@tom434911]

Funny, lol. I prefer to look at as - 30 years from now I will be a hell of a lot better than I am now. \m/

[@judahbenhur5820]

***** jajajajajaja

[@lonewolf604]

***** 30 years from now I'd be too old and fat to practice.

[@1032patrick]

Guitar World should do more of this stuff... legendary guitarists sharing techniques and ideas... John Petrucci and Yngwie Malmsteen please...

[@shreddiestreams]

That's an epic combo

[@TheSeraphim75]

+1032patrick the only thing Yngwie can share is how many burgers he can eat at once. he cant communicate...the beast of a player...Fire & Ice & Rising Force my good lord

[@JmgStrength]

John Petrucci and Michael Romeo

[@Rootwitch06]

Richie Kotzen and CC Deville...

[@JohnDoe-fv3vs]

@rootwitch06 lmao....

[@nithinraj360]

Absolute shred gods, both of them !!

[@docsdomain]

Chris Broderick was in a really good band called Jag Panzer before Megadeth. They kick ass so check them out if you haven't heard of them.

[@SavatageIsMyReligion]

+Scott Destan Jag Panzer rules dude!! \m/

[@rayatayde227]

Jag Panzer used to be a local Colorado Springs band. I lived there as a kid back in the 80s and always wanted to go see 'em but I was too young to get in the bar. I think the place was called DJ's Nightclub or something like that.

[@theicedevil]

No love for Jag Panzer, the band you were in for years before Megadeth. Same on you Chris.

[@DanchNaz]

That's a really useful type of video! Thanks a lot, Guitar world!

[@blacksabbath1022]

Ozzy always blessed with great guitarist. Gus is great and his playing phenomenal live and the albums he makes. Ozzy's latest was one of his best.

[@gregs4892]

i wish i could play with all that technique and no emotion as someone else mentioned on this post. To be able to play like that would be amazing. i would be more than happy to quit my day job which i already do with all technique and no emotion. I can only assume it would be more lucrative and fun. Plus i could retire in my 40's which were years ago.

[@rafiibanez1163]

You both are amazing master of Shred Licks🤘🎼🎶🎸🎵

[@simospapadopoulos1001]

Broderick has an awsome technique and style but gus has the feel. Stop hating them.None of you can play as they do,no matter what you say.This is just a video, each one has much more to give than a simple ''friendly meet'' video. They didn't make this video to surprise thier fans, they made it so they can show their fans what their new work is about.

[@neilbezuidenhout9284]

And I can't play as you do, and you can't play as I do. They are great, but don't underrated yourself.

[@johnnybgood774]

Chill karen

[@DennisTeti]

“Yeah, I could never get it sounding that good...” proceeds to play the most amazing thing I’ve ever heard

[@JackR845]

These are so fucking good. Modern day guitar heroes right here. :)

[@ManosRK]

HOLY SHIT!! The part where they play together!

[@brandonwhitson1611]

Chris broderick was killing it with jag panzer long before he went to the amazing megadeth, his playing in jag panzer was absolutely unique and incredible, he is a more complete guitarist than gus but gus is no slouch, gus was killing it with dream evil back then and i love that shit. Both are amazing musician's

[@ojijiigbehin9677]

Chris left hand in perfect position and perfect movements as well.

[@xombie0709]

I would love to see Paul Gilbert come in and start shredding with these guys

[@Diegobuffalo88]

profesor gilbert would teach this guys

[@AudiophileTubes]

They're both GREAT rock players!

[@JR-xg3wq]

Chris completely understand everything about the guitar notes scales chords gus just like it sounds good

[@Velocity4000fps]

These 2 are amazing.

[@jasonclark9963]

Act of defiance is a masterpiece

[@amsedelm]

I like the camaraderie among todays shredders. Back in the 80's, at least in NYC, they were all trying to cut each other down. Like gunslingers. I was constantly approached by young kids trying to duel me backstage after shows. Lol I'm glad things are different now.

[@JackCarlino]

im just curious how they would even decide how one would "win" a guitar duel. thats hilarious

[@breathingreflection]

Chris needs to patent and sell that over-thumb pick clip he designed; he mentioned it years ago but I haven't heard anything about it since.

breathingreflection I agree. People like me who does not know where to put the pick while finger-picking would benefit from it massively. It is like inventing the slide and not turning it into a commercial product..

[@Mycall1983]

They are for sale, he has a web page on his site to order them i bought 5 not long ago.

[@breathingreflection]

Mycall1983 Really? I need to find his page then.

[@breathingreflection]

Mycall1983 Found it. How do they feel on the thumb? Do you actually need more than one?

[@Mycall1983]

They take a bit of getting used to, both in comfort and technique, some people find it a bit of a challenge t change there technique a smidgen. I was lucky the way I do pinch harmonics and other things is the same with the pic clip as without, you won't know until you try. I wear the pic clip 90% of the time. My only warning is that it is definitely market towards picking not strumming, if you play lead a lot it's a GREAT tool but due to the angle the clip sits on you're thumb it makes strumming sound and feel very heavy especially if you use thick picks like a jazz iii. One is plenty I bought 5 because I wanted Chris's signature pick and signed patent, which you only get if you buy 5 or more. I have since sold most of my spares on though I will most likely keep one spare just in case.

[@judahbenhur5820]

let's play a game. Every time they say "you know" take a shot

[@metfan4l]

Too bad the Act Of Defiance album Chris talked about at the beginning didn't turn out too great, the mix and especially the weak vocals totally killed it for me.

[@5urg3x]

I thought it was awful too...it just sounded very generic, I didn't care for the vocals at all.

[@4572dk]

Thank god someone agrees with me. Chris sounds great when he isn't sweeping (i hate it when he abuses that) but vocals are so boring.

[@LucasBortoliniKuhn]

I think that the first album was good but not very outstanding. The second album, Old Scars New Wounds, is a big leap forward. Much more personality, uniqueness, and Chris is just so great...

[@hussamelnory8398]

Well I knew about Gus in the last year, monster on the guitar.

[@dimkalas5206]

Chris Broderick knows such a lot of theory

[@madmannolen]

actually, i would love to hear Gus on Chris Tone...

[@aidenhealy6593]

Chris Broderick greatest player on the planet

[@4466svenjohnpetrucci]

wow what an amazing guitar tone.......................

[@lemniscatusofficial]

am i the only one here who is annoyed with a bit excessive of distortion used? cant hear them clean enough

[@kl7360]

+JayB B Gus's is a bit excessive but Chris's gain is pretty reasonable for a lead sound, it's the long delays turning it to mush.

[@lemniscatusofficial]

+Ougerson Dwoorv yeah, it kinda sucks when they're too good at music but their sound effects ruin all the fun

[@Pewtooyou]

This is awesome!!!...These guys are both guitar animals.... Chris is obviously the dominant species in this video...

[@chevynova5030]

"And then after playing the Smoke On the Water beat I like moving my technique to playing the Iron Man beat"...

[@masterseven95]

chris sweeps are quite bad or its just me?

[@eNnI088]

+Seven .Vega Wouldn't say bad but they don't sound as clean as they usually are

[@kl7360]

+Seven .Vega Sounded like the edge of his pick clip was scraping along the strings, those things are fiddly.

[@lemniscatusofficial]

+Seven .Vega even his fingers were shivering at some moments. maybe he's a bit camera conscious or that stuff is really not meant for normal guitar playing. to top that, the delay was a bit too cranked which makes it more crappy in sound.

[@Levi-nn8si]

True. He's got awesome technique still. But honestly I never got much feeling out of his playing.

[@SpecialDetermence]

Its just you

[@MongoJoeMeathook]

i;ve been playing with ozzy now for six years. wow has it really been that long already? Dude, yah... six years

[@CAMELOT331]

I could just never get in to Chris's really tin high tone. I love Gus's tone though.

[@StrumVogel]

Are they both plugged into a Line6 Spider II?

[@WinterMadness05]

Broderick is on another level!

[@attentionlabel]

Chris B is a boss, and i'm besides the point, but those forearms need catching up to those upper arms.

[@chrisgsauce]

Attention lol

[@benw5669]

+Attention Forearms are the worst to to a lot of lifting with because if you work them like any other muscles you could develop static contractions like I did, better keep them lean and still play guitar...;)

[@Galactu5]

+Ben Wong I hear you there. I think guys put too much emphasis on big guns in general and it looks imbalanced to put it nicely. Apparently it's all about the curls for the girls, right?

[@Galactu5]

+lightsouthaha Thanks for mentioning your body type difference. Sometimes I forget everyone isn't built the way I am.

[@StevenReaves-d7g]

They are both bad ass!😮

[@LicksoftheLegend]

I don't get the hate for this video , its just them hanging out and showing each other licks not trying to be too serious. As for them shredding lol there both metal shred guys what did everyone think was gonna happen they play abstract jazz together.

[@christianperez7842]

5:33 OMG that riff is fckng badass¡¡

[@slashmotovlog1112]

At 3:17 you can see they were about to lose something to say to each other hahahaha!

[@DP-ly3zx]

My man chris killing it

[@jasonclark9963]

They are fucking awesome

[@MikeBoardley]

They're both great players but I think Chris Broderick is the more skilled player. I also like the fact he works out because his physical appearance matches his playing.

[@satriaariwibowo1118]

Chris and Gus they are great musicians

[@cesarperez-cardenas97]

Gus's tone is so rich.

[@Guithulhu]

Holy crap! King grand high pubas of badassery.

[@matthewjacobsen7058]

both these guys are so awesome. Chris is technically better, slightly. ..but I love the recent ozzy album. way better than megadeth.

[@Yiannis2112]

Not even a mention of 10 years or so with Jag Panzer...

[@commando7144]

Shred it if it sounds good imo. These guys are awesome.

[@FreedomZealot]

Steve Perry and Steve Vai were blended in a genetic experiment, and the individual thus produced was christened "Gus G."

[@uncleremus5046]

Gus is the student here.

[@kkdeveauxgue9074]

Chris is my all time favorite guitarist,melodic intense heavy flashy energetic and exciting to listen too awesome 4 finger tapping check out their videos Act of defiance:Throwback!!!! muff said...Gus G.Take some lessons you won't find a better human being or better teacher besides John Prettruci of dream theater..don't you dare go to his house you might leave crying..That's a real guitar god..And your not even sloppy..Just too much by the book losses up..Get some dirt under your nails..Mr.clean..You might want to stop by Steve Via's house to get the real dirt then I might listen to you again..K K Deveauxgue!!!

[@TruthSurge]

2:32 it's just a maj 7 add 9. jesus.... his opening salvo sounded sloppier than a pig sty. get it clean, man or else why play it?

[@DaveDexterMusic]

I feel like either there should be no noise gate or less gain.

[@TheMetalWarrior1993]

Chris is a very good technical player, he can definitely shred. I just feel that he lacks a little feeling in his playing though.

[@barrygerenski6259]

I don't listen to Megadeth much since Chris and Sean left they were such a great part of that group! But if you want to move on to other endeavors I appreciate that.

[@brumpo9721]

The answer to the question "What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?"

[@Consigliere089]

Ο Gus G μαθαίνει κιθάρα στον Chris!!! :D

[@Anidawehi]

Do a song together guys. Put up or shut up. Lol. Love you both.

[@just.some.dud3]

Broderick must be like "wait, what?"

[@Archer82ify]

I think Chrs's Jackson sound more pure and clear then Gus's ESP

[@sebastianangel3515]

Leyendas!

[@joes.1836]

nice GUITAR jiz right there!

[@schuey999]

Thanks. Now i have a headache.

[@alexandrossgourdas1324]

Chris hands are trembling!

[@PROSODYmetal]

freakin shredders!

[@kylenelson8417]

Gus G didn't mention nightrage

[@PROSODYmetal]

Put Kiko in this mix to really make it interesting & bring in Michael Amott to adjust Broderick's shit tone.

[@kkdeveauxgue9074]

Yeah dude I play guitar,And for years I've watched you cry die and swear you wrote the best music in the world..I'm K K Deveauxgue and I don't think so..

[@christopherdavis8248]

this should of been chris Broderick and paul gilbert. I call paul "Gilly B" for short. its "our" thing.

[@uraveragejoe9435]

Am I the only one who thinks Gus looks like Kiko Loureiro? Haha

[@MIZORAM_mafaka_hnamte]

Ye... me too.. At first I Thought he was Kiko

[@thenkindler001]

Broderick and Gus were casually jamming, sharing ideas and having some fun. For people to come and and critically assess their musicianship after 7 minutes of banter is actually laughable. Nobs.

[@timjoseph887]

why do these dudes tune down from standard tuning? Are their strings too old to reach the high notes?

[@jackm.9286]

what's Gus's last name

[@josephdues833]

Just fucking damn is all I gotta say

[@rockincovers3269]

Shred Machines......\m/

[@Jay-sy5yf]

Why does Chris' amp sound so noisy?

[@albertorazo2224]

Too much gain.

[@endezeichengrimm]

***** Crunchy amp tones can get noisy. He should switch to EMG's.

[@yogengrg7690]

mainly because of his passive pickups. Passive pickups tends to be little more compressed, lower in output and yes noisier than the actives. Also I believe he had his gain high as well.

[@aldogorjon3283]

Ese par están carbón!!!

[@urtermin8ted779]

🤘🤓

[@marcokostli3879]

undead 797 4 President!

[@sotis1982]

its all a matter of practice guys...but if youve got pure talent also then its doable..

[@wolfgang2007aaaaaaaa]

+Sot Pat I agree except that talent comes from practice and discipline. No one is born talented.

[@jonnyquest8774]

Talent is defined as natural aptitude or skill. People are definitely born with it. You could have 2 guys who practice the same thing, with the same amount of discipline, but one will be better than the other, because one is more talented than the other.

[@wolfgang2007aaaaaaaa]

I suppose so. But if we are talking about the above video, I cannot stand Chris Broderick's playing, dont get me wrong he may be more 'talented' and is an awesome player. I just prefer Gus's approach, technique and choice of notes/licks. Whether you call that talent I dont know, all I know is that Gus's playing appeals more to me, but hey thats my opinion.

[@jonnyquest8774]

I don't know who's more talented here, but I agree with you, I like Gus's playing better, his tone, etc. I like most of his music too. Looking forward to seeing him and Angel Vivaldi in Sept.

[@alinack69]

The levels on this video need sorting. Can barely hear them talking but the guitars are loud as balls.

[@JzSage]

Am i the only one that found it weird that cris broderick used a thumb pick?

[@Jaydenwybenga]

lol probably considering the pick clip is patented by him

[@curtwinetaster7495]

He uses a thumb pick so he can do all that tapping stuff, and yes, it was patented by him

[@jonathanpoblano3999]

10 puntos para Gus, 9 puntos para Chris

[@ridhowiranatakusumah6531]

Is it me or i think they like brothers?

[@4572dk]

1:22 what the actual fuck

[@bingefeller]

it sounds like shit.

[@Ymiraku]

too much distortion

[@oguzhanakyazi]

Vincent Junio who is that guy ?

[@genaroguerrero9228]

the dude is the slopiest in the industry. Almost like Hammet

[@alexasv5986]

That is a beginner's sweep picking

[@somekindofdude1130]

question chrish Broderick is considered a good guitar player or a guitar god or nothing from this?

[@juanwilliams840]

+Master Kostas I mean he is clearly a good guitarist. But I think the term guitar god is personal to who is using the term. Right like to me I think Dimebag Darrell is my guitar god. His playing I enjoy to me right.

[@eugene7518]

I listen to fireWINd. I bet you do too. 🍰

[@MojosArmy]

Whoa thumb pick

[@MichaelBrown-ny3et]

Damn

[@insertanynameyouwant5311]

Broderick is better, he has 7 string, not 6. BTW what pick does he use? looks strange

[@ice9001]

Guys need to take up sports .

[@pattyhays487]

Boatload of guitar talent between these two!

[@Trilj-]

I can't help it but feel so hostile when I see two great guitarists together even in having a casual conversation. You can see the subconscious competition happening, it's sometimes cringy.

[@aryinc]

chris plays so dry, so static or something while gus is way more fluid in allot of ways.

[@OfficialZirizz]

me in about 357years

[@ashishrahul4692]

Is it just me, or do they not sound as clean as they usually do?

[@bobayersquebec]

2 Super players, well.............. im fuck n jalous...
