Megadeth Symphony of Destruction solo lesson Marty Friedman- Weekend Wankshop 186

[@BenEller]

Did you guys enjoy this Marty Friedman Megadeth Symphony Of Destruction solo lesson?! What other sweet classic solos do you all want to see on my channel?!

[@DrDizzleFrizzle]

Still waiting for Tornado of Souls, dear Uncle.

[@ClassicPass_]

Yupper, for nostalgia, I go watch the TOS vidjya once in a while with my step mom Becky (she says hey btw, gross), TOS would be great! Ride the Lightning (moar great chord following arpegimoes), AJfA (that F#m wah section), Save Yourself from MSG, Because MF'nS! Sad but True... etc.. carry on, and quit texting Becky back... it gives her hope.. :(

[@vagelisdiamandis7565]

How about dream warriors of Dokken?It would be nice to finally get some accurasy out of it..greetings from Greece Ben you re the best!!!

[@zedleppelin665]

DT's count of tuscany, both solos

[@goodsirbanzo3684]

Ghost of Perdition, Grand Conjuration from Opeth's Ghost Reveries :)

[@martysnarf]

God damn man... the insight behind the concepts that Marty uses here are arguably more valuable than the actual solo itself. Thanks so much for this continued exemplary work, Ben. I really appreciate it.

[@KingJackstone]

God Loves You🙏🏻❤️

[@allancrow134]

I'm not a huge theory guy but shifting bass notes and arpeggios was an eye-opener.

[@zebes2694]

YES! thank you uncle Ben, hopefully tornado of souls is next

[@omarvega1313]

He already did it, and its awesome! kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2a6oKunic2Zrbc

[@sanskaraggarwal2436]

Heyyyyy after 5 yrs ..... Now have u learned tornado of souls

[@mikemorrison3791]

If i get this past 70% tempo I'm going to be hella impressed with myself! Great Lesson

[@MKettunen]

This is how you teach a solo! I love how you explained also the context of the licks and not only the notes. I've tried to learn this for ages but that "tricky part" in the end still kicks my ass.

[@woodwisdomnonsenseandcats4203]

Wow! Best I’ve seen it played (next to Marty himself) and even better job breaking it down. Thanks so much.

[@mikeholbrook8309]

I am not at this level of playing yet. Way too fast for me. With your breakdown, explanation and time on my part practicing I feel I could I can accomplish this solo. Thank you so much.

[@pilotamurorei]

This solo is insane, and when you play it slow, you can hear the enka influences in the note choices he made (Enka is old Japanese music from decades ago that still has a following among older Japanese people). It's actually showing how far back he was into Japanese music.

[@pilotamurorei]

And no, I'm not saying he uses the Japanese scale patterns to do his solos. Specifically, he adds notes within the chords that would make it sound very Enka-like. At full speed you can't tell, but when played slowly the sound is DISTINCTLY Japanese. The notes he chose within the solo were very intentional as he wanted to make the solo sound japanese without quite sounding Japanese to a regular listener.

[@everythingkumo1041]

Thanks Ben for this Symphony of Instruction

[@felipevece]

Each note is gold in Marty Friedman solos!!!

[@bobbyashrimp]

This is the easiest version to follow along with that I have seen yet on this solo. You're attitude is pleasant as well. Thanks Ben!

[@billyhughes9776]

I love watching your lessons then realizing that I don't have the patience (or skill) to actually play the piece. Keeps me grounded and my ego in check. Thanks Uncie Ben.

[@cscott8182]

Duda! I've learned so much from all of your videos I'm still trying to comprehend the influx of info. I wish I was like #5 from Short Circuit. "Need Input" reads books etc. knows everything in seconds. You're a great teacher with a sense of humor. I must have watched your intro to "shred pentatonics" a few dozen times. "Today I will play a hot minor pentatonic lick using alternate picking, yes" Hilarious. It has happened to me!

[@DesignCourse]

Awesome content!

[@jademonolith]

Been at this for the last 8 hours lol. Your video is one of the best in explaining the breakdown of the solo. Man those shifting arpeggios are something else.

[@Giantshredder]

I was digging the "Stepdad" speed for sec.

[@oniarmageddon3262]

yo whats up lol

[@josemanuelflorencia6594]

You make it look so easy and the best is the harmoni explanation. Big thanks to you.

[@zMPHz]

I don't know why I haven't tried to learn this solo (except those couple times back when I started to play the guitar). This was a great way to start the day! Thanks, Ben! ✌

[@7thString84]

Nice! Finally, some more challenging stuff! :) I'll give it a try this weekend. Seems manageable, but surely it's hard. Well done, Uncle Ben! :)

[@MartinDoty-pe1ly]

Awesome Job Ben!! Marty Friedman is a Brutal act to follow for sure. Thank you so much for going over that solo! You Nailed It 🤘🧔🏻‍♀️🤘

[@Khaos98]

This is the best and most accurate tutorial i've ever seen.

[@controll259]

Thanks Uncle ben, you are beast. Keep shreding awesome tunes and be safe 😁

[@bobbyrevell]

Well Ben, this is the most accurate rendition of this solo I’ve heard and the only one with the feel necessary to sound perfect. That is a fact.

[@solincillo]

Great lesson uncle. Those arpeggios after the pull offs have stumped. Practice them as I watch tv to get my finger-memory to get there. One of my favorite channels.

[@fadlyhans82]

And uncle Ben plays it like it’s loose change for him. Damn, I felt that. So fluid.

[@crescendo33]

Liked your post Video very much Ben Eller thank for sharing.

[@carlosmatos9848]

That ascending arpeggio section is brutal, but damn, you nailed it.

[@dadude7]

Who the hell disliked this video? Amazing. Been wanting a proper lesson on this for years. Thank you for your efforts. 👌🏻

[@MyGuitartime]

ha ha so I watched your old video first and learnt that one.. then I was like Im not sure of the positioning and then this version of the lesson came up and boom your corrections are what i had thought! Thanks for the lesson!

[@danzaremba6500]

Dude I am eating this up! Great Job! Thank you!

[@martysradioshow5979]

thank you uncle Ben

[@jeffmora9832]

You absolutely smoked that solo….but what’s makes it so fn sick is how effortlessly you ran right through it!!! Great job bro…. As long as you play like this I will have to keep calling you Uncle Ben…….Damn it! 😅

[@rickfeith6372]

I played along!!! I was REALLY close before...good look UB

[@halboudreau4681]

Wow Ben, that was awesome !!! What a challenge!! I still can't thank you enough for continuously pushing my sorry old ass over every threshold I come upon. I'm doing the work, but your guidance is pure gold and diamonds. Thank you again. my right hand is incredibly grateful!!!

[@BenDaSilva1]

Thank you uncle Ben awesome lesson can't beleive i can finally play this

[@ralphralpherson9441]

This is a tough solo and you make it look easy... Nice one!

[@MaW-j1o]

FIIIIIIVE YEARS AGO?! 😢 I’m so late to the party lol Thank you thank you thank you for this awesome deep dive!

[@rahulbasu659]

Thanks as always, Uncle Ben! Re-learning this now properly to record with my friends, and this is IMMENSELY helpful :D

[@carlosflores-mo5iz]

This is why you're my favorite uncle!

[@josephgerbino4271]

Thanks Uncle Ben...when I wanna learn a solo, you're the first guy I go to!! Awesome work; keep it up!!!!!!!!!

[@mltndeal5120]

Awesome 👍. I tried learning from guitar tablitures but it didn't make sense. But KZbin videos are awesome to learn guitar. Thanks for the video. Folks watching you can learn by practicing over and over and it becomes muscle memory so to speak. Anyone can learn guitar these days. Back in the 80s and 90s we tried to teach ourselves guitar looking at guitar tabs. KZbin videos are awesome.

[@jallen6897]

Excellent lesson, thanks!

[@peeledapples4176]

Hey, Uncle Ben! Just wondering if you were planning any more bass lesson videos, I've found them super-helpful!

[@gneldr]

One of the most glorious guitar solos of all time.

[@sunnys3325]

18:09 MADNESS! Thank u for this man!

[@CYPHERWasHere]

Thanks so much Uncle Ben!

[@lorinandrew]

Thanks for this. Been trying to nail it down properly for a while...

[@JeremyPrado]

very few of the guitar lessons that i have saw illustrates like this ... magically, theoretically awesome...

[@bperon]

I've seen a lot of Symphony Of Destruction solo lessons on KZbin and I can say for sure that this is THE BEST one. The whole thing played at normal speed at the beginning of the video is so accurate that it almost felt like it is played from the original track. Nice job! Just subscribed to your channel.

[@YaBoyConstar]

Great Lesson Uncle Ben, thank you.

[@fredb.8383]

Love this solo the string bends. Well , the entire solo. Good job Ben

[@leerobbo92]

I follow a few channels on KZbin for the solo lessons, but this is honestly the best one on KZbin. Can't follow the rhythm on the others, but the way you teach it makes it so clear! (Also, all the rest don't sound right!)

[@CMFL77]

Nice job dude! Always love the full speed play through you do at the start of the ww's 🤘

[@kevincasals2008]

Sir keep doing these it helped alot and made me understand how great marty friedman is

[@חייםברוך-ק7ה]

I like the way you teach. You are alife saver. I improved so much in my playing. Thanks uncle ben

[@saulrivera2114]

Great lesson! This is the cleanest I've seen it played! Awesome!!!

[@TheGamerFru]

Thanks a lot man, you’re the best I found for this damn solo, you’re teaching really well!

[@barrypwalkerable]

That's a serious amount of work for that transcription!!!!! Fair play Ben, great lesson as usual!!!!

[@Chris-w4j]

Most of that is spot on correct. The ascending minor6 arpeggio run he uses all down picks and rushes the 2nd and 3rd note a little. When he slides up he rushes down pauses at the 12 fret before the flutter of hammer on and pull offs and does pick the 12 fret one more time before sliding up to the last inversion. Which he starts with an up pick and doubles the up pick on both the 18th and 15th fret of the e string. Really gets underneath of the string so it vibrates to and from the Pick up and kinda chirps with some fingers touching the string producing semi harmonics. (More marty isms I call chirps) The evil blues madness lick he slides down from 14-13 (adter the bend) then slides down and back up into starting the lick. The last and final blues lick, He sweeps up into it all, even after each bend he sweeps across the b 13 and e 12 and pauses. That was all wrong in this lesson video. Other then that. Great work. 99% Marty is REALLY technical and very difficult to transcribe.

[@TimurIskhodzhanov]

Hey, I was just going to learn it! Great timing, thanks

[@GuitarDoco]

most detailed and most accurate...thanks

[@SheaRecordmetal]

I know this is 3 years old, but thank you brother. Been working out a couple of the parts and this helped clear up some of those bad tabs.

[@raoulmeynard666]

Thank you uncle ben

Thanks Uncle Ben!

[@steveomedia]

Loved it. Great breakdown. I since have remanipulated some of the licks incorporating them into my guitar neck real estate. There's a few gems in there that I never used and have opened up more highway to drive. Thanks Big Ben! Steve-o

[@markbaum9615]

Excellent...Thanks Uncle

[@vox_borealis]

Thanks for the lesson! Also love your The Witch shirt

[@alidemir9897]

Best lesson on this so far! Thanks!!

[@jaykeel7309]

Just revisiting this. So good pal!

[@OZHKAR1]

unique solo, so much styles combined

[@northstar7647]

Hanger 18 Thank you Ben! I learned this Solo! Awesome teacher!

[@Kevin-nr9lj]

The arpeggios are so dope. Nice lesson Uncle Ben..

[@wesleyh2251]

Holy mamita! Thanks Ben!

[@dehypnotizer]

Again, played perfectly. Well done, Ben.

[@hopper76b]

best version ever.

[@ddivill]

Fantastic analysis/breakdown of this Marty classic! The position-shift chicanery of his playing at break-neck tempos is defo one of the most challenging aspects of a lot of his solos. Thanks UB!

[@rodzillarox4882]

Do you have a grand dad speed lol. Thats. Awesome Uncle Ben

[@antithug7942]

I heard that! lol.

[@BrentMatsumoto]

What happened to Tornado of Souls? Lol!

[@BenEller]

Brent Matsumoto right?!

[@USAlien234]

Dude...your awesome! I recently found your channel, thank you for accuracy and very well explained instructions. Im looking forward to learning a lot from you -Peace brother

[@Cveloz39]

Uncle Ben. The Best guitar teacher!!!

[@mikehamilton2382]

You're a great teacher Ben. THANKS A LOT 😉

[@basementrocker2764]

Epic lesson uncle B! Instant like 👍

[@AlexHallGuitar]

Great lesson and wicked shirt!

[@DunlopTortex05mm]

Good job Ben. I love your « explanation » of Marty’s choice and way of thinking. Here I have a challenge : Lucretia solo, with your point of view for the explanations of course! This one is insane and really more complex in the choice of notes I find. Hope you will maybe do it one day :)

[@reverendg5937]

Thank You, Uncle Ben. I like Nice Stuff. 😎

[@moogleguitar]

absolutely awesome lesson

[@fokeyjo]

You are such a good teacher :) I have been trying for ages to even get an in-road to this damn lead and not managed it - simply put because I was trying to play it with scales! And you explained it so well, particularly with showing his use of notes of the chord undermeath. Will still take me ages to get even close to the speed of the original, but I'll have fun trying :D

[@ayybudayy]

Great lesson. You make it look so easy but it's so hard!

[@drankurbaruah]

Damn!!! That was awesome!!!

[@chumbak_t_v]

Great lesson... Thank you

[@tulioguirelli55]

Great lesson! Thank you Ben!

[@Manic_Drone_Idiom]

Love the Black Philip shirt!!

[@vig237]

Thanks man. I'am learning this. That's tough 😂

[@dimibuej]

awesome Ben! great job!

[@S-A-CCL]

WOW that's some huge weekend wankshop, thanks a lot Ben !!

[@fullsent]

Yes. I have been working on this forever based on your last video. Now to redo it with this one as some parts just felt plain weird.

[@austriadorkus]

awesome breakdown of this solo, buddy

[@thygod]

I vaguely remember Marty mentioning the hirajoshi scale somewhere in a Guitar World article or interview. Then again, I also remembered you doing paint swirling videos.

[@BenEller]

MANDELA EFFECT

[@shredvicious]

I feel like Ayinger should pick up on the Live Deliciously shirt to promote their Celebrator Doppelbock. Also, killer playing and awesome lesson.
