Symphony of Destruction Guitar Lesson (Solo) - Megadeth

[@user-tc9fk2dh7x]

Marty Friedman’s picking style is so unique. Sounds like he’s sweeping when he’s up picking arpeggios. Respect to pulling this cover off so cleanly.

[@ilir96]

0:11 Dat accidental delicious pinch harmonic!

[@GuitarLessons365SongLessons]

Oh yeah!

[@satchfan2010]

Best KZbinr On KZbin WTF? HAHA! That made me laugh.

[@kane00000]

Pretty sure he did ''dat '' on purpose

[@allancrow134]

Great breakdown. I covered this song many times live, works everytime in the third set. Never bothered to sit down and actually learn the solo. I guess you could say I faked it. I copped the intro and just winged the rest. Here's the thing...no one ever called me on it...not once. Those are choice licks. I learned something. Thanks. :)

[@ashthegreat1]

Yeah man - I do that with Slash’s Nightrain outro solo. The shreddy part right at the end I just fast improv in A pento scale an no one batters and eyelid. 👍

Dude, congrats on 400k! You totally deserve it, your lessons are the most correct and easiest to understand on youtube. I think more than 80% of the songs I know I've learned from you. Keep on rocking!

[@GuitarLessons365SongLessons]

Well thanks man. :)

[@gmrst00]

Mad skills? Are you trolling? So many crap in single solo.

[@ThrashRebel]

Parminder Benipal, maybe because he isn’t playing it with the same feel that Marty does. Getting that feel is difficult for some guitarists. Just watch Chris Zoupa’s tutorial on it & you will HEAR the difference. Chris plays it more like Marty did.

[@vinceg1094]

It's really good, he is a good teacher, but the "hate" might be because he is playing it incorrectly. It's a reasonable facsimile, but not quite what Marty played/wrote. I agree no need for any bad comments, but I can see dislikes.

[@Ramo_Baramia]

@@GuitarLessons365SongLessons we love you man, haters will always hate even themselfs. thank you for your lessonsyou are great teacher.

Carl: impossible to play Carl: plays it

[@joshistitic]

Man I have been trying to learn this solo for 2 years straight. No joke I spent 2 whole years straight up practicing this solo over and over again. My father memorized the starting lick because I played it so much. And to this day I never got it up to speed. Most I could manage was 100 and past that was straight up gibberish. I give up.

[@ClandestineCrystals]

Wow I’ve been trying to figure out that bit when it first starts going fast with the economy picking for weeks... you explained it and broke it down so easily! Thanks so much for this!

[@alexanderkliesch2320]

Your channel had exactly 400,000 subscribers when I started the video - congratulations!!!! The lesson itself is great as always :-)

[@GuitarLessons365SongLessons]

Yes quite the milestone for me. Thanks for the kind comment.

[@adityasharma2669]

Most versatile guitar teacher....I'm damn sure he can play everything from 17th century to now...please try some Alter Bridge....You will definitely enjoy their music. thanx

[@GuitarLessons365SongLessons]

Thanks Aditya! In fact, I have a lot of classical stuff on the way! I enjoy the old music. :) Will definitely look into some Alter Bridge.

[@ryhardcore7]

Hey what's up Carl. My brother I just felt compelled to tell you that you really are a fantastic teacher. We are all better guitar players by having found you. Thanks homey!

[@cheftekard7165]

Carl. Your vids are perfect for a medium skilled guitarist like me. Just the right pace. Thank you!

[@SuperSpear2009]

Great lesson. To play this cleanly at "Marty" speed is quite the challenge, even for the veteran player. Still working on it.

[@mastergelo_rg550rfr]

thanks for this lesson; your videos (tornado of souls; symphony of destruction; holy wars) helped me played the solos better...

[@rodolfolopezcabrera7746]

Thank you again and again Carl for another great lesson! 🎸

[@RavenDimal]

Did you master this dude?

[@matszengg3287]

Great lesson I learned a lot from it, In my opinion when the iconic arpeggios starts after this first fast lick it's better to do insert pick it rly helps with the overall speed, thanks for awesome lesson again ❤

[@rudirenntier3175]

Unbelievable Carl, no matter what cool rock or heavy song, you have a great exercise with right notes and correct style. I like your videos very much, greetings from Austria

[@hulkmania4720]

Hey Carl I just want to say thanks for the good details that you put on this guitar lesson, I learned the song very quick. Thanks man and rock on with new guitar lessons.

[@henrypaulsen736]

This is awesome Carl. Thanks a lot for all that you do. It would also be cool to see a lesson on parabol/parabola by tool

[@GuitarLessons365SongLessons]

Yes definitely gotta do more Tool!

[@Nvd1987]

you're absolutely amazing. great demeanor, great attitude and the best part is you're a great teacher... i learned it within a couple hours following your video.... #fromBangladesh

[@leejackson5157]

Everytime I visit it’s grand larceny. Every morning with a cup of coffee I cop all these licks. Thank you.

[@zegmakker010]

As megadeth was my reason I started playing guitar 3 months back, I would really like to play this solo. I'll see if I can tackle any part of it, thanks for the lesson!

[@athamz9872]

Everybody like "do this! do that Carl!" How about "learn this, than ask for that?" or "Thanks!" These solos are a pain in the ass to learn but it´s a thread of musical information and skill that´s just mad. All those 80´s 90´s kilos of coke and heroin and litters of beer where put to some good use in the end :P

Another awesome lesson! You're really banging these lessons out! Everytime I get the itch to learn other bands songs, I'm finding myself looking to see if you've done a lesson. I don't think I've seen you do a lesson on "call of Ktulu" ...If you ever get the itch to do that, I would definitely check that out!!!

[@GuitarLessons365SongLessons]

Yeah as soon as I have a entire week at my disposal to transcribe I will certainly do that. Haha. That thing is loooonnnggg

[@daveofthedead1361]

Hey man, I wouldn't mind if you broke it down in 3 or 4 videos lol Its an amazing song, its up there on my favorite Metallica songs list. So eerie and powerful sounding. No lyrics needed, the music tells the story. I always ask others and myself, "How in the hell did they write all these amazing songs??" Its just unreal how many amazing songs they have....and they're still going strong!

Sick solo of Marty Friedman! Thanks Carl

[@veggielord5550]

This solo is really tough! Once I get it, it'll be the first "hard" solo that I've learned. I've gotten all the notes memorized, I just have to start increasing the speed. I've tried learning other Megadeth solos, but this is the first one that really has started to feel achievable to me.

[@hollow2xs630]

Hows your progress coming along, im learning this while also attempting dave mustaines holy wars solo in which im halfway through

[@veggielord5550]

@@hollow2xs630 Still working on it! I'm getting faster, although I'm not at Marty speeds just yet. The fast appergio lick that moves up the neck is giving me trouble right now. I've tried Dave's Holy Wars solo, but I find his solos hard to wrap my head around for whatever reason.

[@hollow2xs630]

@ right, dave mustaines soloing is very chaotic best of luck

[@joaoelias860]

Perfect! You made my dream become reality.

[@Lucrei.]

Okay so I was doing pretty well until the "unison bend" at 2:11 I can't get a clear sound off the b, seems my finger on the g is cutting off the sound because I can't curve it enough to get two clean notes let alone achieve the bend at the same time Any tips/exercises anyone knows of to help with this? Edit: Kinda getting it, bend included... you gotta be super precise, guess it'll just be muscle memory over time If anyone is reading this with the same problem, essentially what I did was I sat up straighter, and then placed my finger on the b string note first, got it clean then added the g note on top of that as routinely as possible, found this really small sweet spot where the notes both ring out even with the bend applied I think it was a little misleading for me as you always get told to keep you wrist low to extend you reach across the fretboard, but in this instance to have both the form for note clarity & the strength to perform the bend accurately I found bringing my wrist up and thumb slipping over the top of the board to provide a better result, kinda hard to transition to, hence thoughts about about muscle memory Now I just need to practice as it's very easy for this position to slip when applying the bend and then you don't get clear notes & also to make the muscle memory to easily jump the position from this first little movement Good luck!

[@Eldenribg]
