Holy Wars... The Punishment Due - MEGADETH Guitar Cover (HD)

[@richieh3520]

I will never understand how Dave Mustaine can play this song and sing at the same damn time... that's some talent

[@antamoeba]

+Richie H That's fucking impossible, specially because the number of palm-muted picks you do in E string as off-beat during the initial singing riff is asymmetric, being able to sing and play that at the same time is fucking nuts for me

[@jaxsonclark5414]

He does it by playing a bunch of nonsense without any sort of pattern too. I should know because every Megadeth song i have learned is a pain. Too talented

[@isbirwan]

when i see mustaine play n sing...i just keep my mouth open # lol

[@JakeJensenGuitar]

My band cover's this song and I can attest to the fact that playing and singing this together if fucking ridiculous. It's not impossible, but you better believe that I have to practice the shit out of it

[@RazorBlazer360]

really? i tried it like for 3 times and then i got it. not being a douche here lol but it suprises me that people say it's really hard

[@Kjames99Gamer]

Being a guitar player, it just hit me now how talented you have to not only sing and lay this song, but he also wrote it. Amazing. Dave Mustaine is a magician

[@Trainwheel_Time]

Kjames99Gamer Takes a lot of talent to lay a song man..

[@LivingInTheKaliYogurt]

Timothy Jahn you gotta whisper sweet nothings in its ear and have the tiger skin carpet down next to the fireplace to lay a song like that

[@LMTN13]

it also takes alot of drugs lol

Dude. You nailed Dave's mind blowing, completely atomic solo. ... as well as doing very well with Marty's sections as well. Excellent work

[@frikkerdorian3931]

100% perfect and i like your black guitar ;) but i miss the first marty solo:c

[@Draspora]

Thanks! When I recorded the song I considered the acoustic solo as a background melody but yeah I should have played it.. Since then I have played every single solos on my covers ;)

[@WhosTropics]

@King Brilliant that's just Megadeth brother

[@tl2837]

@King Brilliant no its not lol

[@csteelbenmoreese4870]

I picked up an electric guitar about a month ago and have been picking around on it for about an hour every day except maybe 3 days. Bought a BOSS ME-80 pedal at the pawnshop couple weeks ago. Downloaded Songsterr last night and tried playing this and a few Tool songs. I now have 2 guitars and an effects pedal for sale😂if only my fingers moved 8 times faster than they do🤣🤣🤣love this song and your cover. Anyone that can play this and just get close is a talented person. Shred away dude🤘🏼

[@Daddy53751]

It’s one of the highly overlooked points of genius when it comes to Dave’s rhythms. Often, instead of just doing a repeating rhythm in a song, Dave kind of creates “mini songs” in what would be normally a repeating rhythm with a beginning, middle and end! Seriously cool and musically mature approach!🤘🏻 (Example, the rhythm starting at “brother will kill brother”)

[@FrankieAmadeian.]

71 people disliked this video. Why? This cover is nearly flawless. They must be jealous.

[@tijnovic777]

Never mind the trolls, just step over them😂

[@sgrp2706]

No acoustic solo

[@eaRamone]

One day when I've retired I'll sit on a chair and play that song until It would be perfect or I die.

[@robertboyland170]

why dont no1 play the acoustic solo bit arghhhhh

because acoustics are gay lol (i'm joking, before i accidentally start a thread on how they are not)

[@Ryan-cy2jl]

I know I was thinking same thing D: rest of it was amazing but was really hoping for that acoustic

Probably because its not an acoustic solo.

[@hectorwybh5164]

He also wrote that solo which is fucking thrash as hell.

[@destianpatrianagara1119]

5:41 how did you do that when your guitar had only 22 frets?

He's bending to 2 octaves above high e. Song's in standard so it's just a full step bend.

I suppose if you're good at what you do, it becomes natural ability. I've watched some of the older stuff from the 80's, I would swear that his left hand is moving as if it were a separate living thing. Someone mentioned off beat and asymmetric, which is a good description. Meanwhile, he's singing in a whole other tempo with hair covering his face like cousin it from the Addams family. . Incredible.

I am a beginner-intermidiate player...got the rythm quite good...trying to learn Dave's solo...got the notes...not the speed yet...

[@Draspora]

Thank you very much ! Well it depends on the solo, for Holy Wars I think it took me a few hours to learn Marty's licks. Maybe more for Dave's solo, I'm not sure since I learnt this song 2 or 3 years ago...
