2012 me did a shit version of this… SO I DELETED IT! Here’s my redo of Pull Me Under. The solo is relatively short with 2 particularly delicious legato runs. Just enjoy the nostalgic win!

[@blacklabelsurfing]

Hi Chris thanks from France for this and mainly all the Megadeth stuff, it helps me increasing my guitar playing level. If you please can do The day that never comes, all the you tube tutorials are not, in my opinion, with a good quality. And i have to play the solo for september with my band. Thanks a lot for your channel.

[@gears3jakey]

Hey Chris have you thought about doing the solo to nowhere by Murderdolls? It doesn't seem too advanced and it is quite short but it's a really good solo :)

[@filipczarny7507]

Chris can you Please Please PLEASE do Mark Tremonti's solo from Blackbird by Alter Bridge? Its such an epic song and a fantastic solo that's total win.

[@darrellqueen3333]

AT 3:45 ish, is that a whammy bar vibrato or is it a bar flutter where you kind of pop the bar, causing the trem to vibrate on it's own? Either way, killer tutorial!!!

Chris Zoupa how do you learn all of these solos that you teach? Do you learn by ear?

[@XxAwDuncanxX]

Chris Zoupa how do you learn all of these solos that you teach? Do you learn by ear?

[@chriszoupa7898]

Andrew Duncan Yeah my ear's pretty good. I can rely on them to pull through.

[@XxAwDuncanxX]

I learn everything by ear, apart from solos which I normally learn from you lol hopefully one day my ear can be as helpful as yours!

[@BrutalWeenielml]

Revocation!!!

[@rustyshackleford4743]

So you don't use a wah for this solo at all? Petrucci uses a wah. That's what makes those bends sound so awesome

[@chriszoupa7898]

I'm standing and using wah at the start of the video. You need wah to get close to the sound on the album

[@marinkarageorgiev2150]

Chris Zoupa by the way what wah pedal are you using?

[@mangkhutband2466]

Sir the tone for rhytmn and lead is the same for this song?

[@mesametal8768]

do you have a lesson for the whole song??

[@jeff1385]

Man if I had your hands I'd cut mine off

[@spv3637]

What pedals did use

[@DragythGuitar]

Please do a video on how to play like this without a pick! Using your middle fingernail?

[@lachlannnn6365]

Why don't you play with a plectrum?

[@xXJiiBXx]

watch his Q&A, he talks about it there I think :)

[@fluffytoaster427]

I Will Not Bow *cough* *cough*

[@ethanbilby9173]

i kinda cheated and tapped that last part lol

[@Kimpatsu2]

Instead of doing nothing but shredding solos. It'd be great if you could find a few slower, but really emotional solos to teach us. Just as suggestion.

[@HakeIronMaiden]

+John Johnson This is a really emotional solo though?

[@opuspocus7957]

lol this is literally one of more emotional ones and not that shreddy
