@@djmelodix6868 You probably haven't heard much songs then. Skull beneath the Skin,Mary Jane, Family Tree, Youthanasia, Countdown to extinction (title track) Five Magics, Take no Prisoners, Blood of Heroes, Use the man, Prince of Darkness, Rust in Peace Polaris, The Conjuring, Devil's Island, Chosen Ones, The scorpion, Promises, Sleepwalker, United Abominations are the songs only on the top of my head all very well written songs and have great themes. Dave is a good lyricist if you don't agree it's alright.
@Lily Lily I don’t care much about lyrics. English is my second language and it took some time until I finally understood the lyrics of my favorite bands. In the meantime I was already fully enjoying the rhythms, melodies, harmonies and tonecolors of the music. If you aim for great lyrics with some important message or some provocative catchy words or something beautiful and poetic, you don’t necessarily have to listen to music, you could just read the lyricS, some poem or, if you want some more content, and information input, read a full book with hundreds of pages. You might enjoy some exotic foreign songs, without understanding a single word and still enjoy the music. Music is not language, that is my basic message to you.
1:05 Skull Beneath The Skin (Intro) 2:25 Peace Sells (Bridge to second solo) 3:33 Rattlehead (Intro and verse) 4:57 Mechanix (solo) 6:38 Wake Up Dead (just after Dave's first solo) 8:07 Wake Up Dead (Dave's last solo) 9:07 Wake Up Dead (Bridge to the second Dave's solo) 10:56 Bad Omen (second riff) 12:00 Bad Omen (Chris Poland's solo during the intro) 13:46 In My Darkest Hour (second to last riff, before the ascending chromatic chords) (thank you SLAYER of Waifus and kurzackd!) 14:41 Tornado Of Souls (intro)/Holy Wars (riff just before Dave's solo) 16:04 Holy Wars (riff just before Dave's solo) 17:37 Holy Wars (whole intro riff) 18:55 Hangar 18 (second intro riff) 19:41 Hangar 18 (part between Friedman's first solo and verse riff) 20:52 Tornado Of Souls (pre-finale riff) (thank you kurzackd!) 21:41 Train Of Consequences (intro riff) 23:07 Skin o' My Teeth (solo) 26:05 Sweating Bullets (solo) 27:59 Into The Lungs Of Hell (Mustaine's solo) 28:59 Hangar 18 (Mustaine's second-to-last solo) 31:14 Holy Wars (Friedman's clean solo)
20:52 this isn't the bridge to ToS's solo, it's the 2nd-to-last riff in the song, or the 2nd AFTER the solo. Call it the pre-finale riff, if you want. As for the IMDH riff, it's also the 2nd-last riff.
@@aceman775 thats cuz of credibility to who made what. Dave wrote most if not all lyrics and riffs along with the organization of all songs for the whole discography of megadeth
"Some people wear Metallica shirts, some people wear Megadeth shirts" Me: Looks in closet and see's both Metallica and Megadeth shirts. I had no idea you had to pick one.
Mustaine is a freakin genious making those twisting on those old patterns... NO ONe can do more with less... ---> Train of Consequences riff... Fukin Metal God...
A 'greatest techniques' series for bands like Megadeth and Dream Theater is incomplete without having a separate video for each musician in the line-up, lol. Dave's techniques. Friedman / Poland's techniques Menza / Gar's techniques Junior's techniques Fantastic video though.
The more I listen to metal and music in general, the more I like and appreciate Megadeth over Metallica. Even though I thought that megadeth was trash compared to metallica when I first started listening to metal.
in MY OPINION Dave has always had the drive to be the best he could possibly be, whereas "other guitarists" may have lose that motivation while they sat at the top of the charts
Dave is AMAZING! To get fired from Metallica, being broke, and coming back to form Megadeath, and being almost as ;popular as Metallica! Who else can do that?
A Megadeth technique video is not complete without a Chris Polands saxophone style phrasing !!! Please do a lesson for that if you get time . I appreciate all the hard work you are doing for us .
I knew Mustaine loves to do some really elaborate tricks'n such, but to this extend? Holy cow. Great video, by the way! May I ask what do you think about breaking down Chuck Schuldiner's techniques?
Wow your explanation on the sweating bullets solo also applies to a section in in my darkest hour, which I previously had trouble playing in time because of the 4 notes per string. This made me almost instantly make me play the solo perfectly, at least for that section.
All the small details of your plying are fantastic! Your tone, bending, vibrato. Everything Could you do a video on how to improve the more subtle aspects of your technique? If you have something like this already then please let me know. Great work!
I like both bands too, but I like Megadeth a little more than Metallica. I will admit that James is a better singer and Metallica is the better live band. Megadeth's playing is better I think. I like the styles from the members of the Peace Sells and Rust Eras in particular. Love Kiko and Dirk too.
@@hmvenom No one can replace Mustaines voice. What's wrong with you? Let James stay in his band. He can never replicate the anger and frustration in Dave's voice.
I love this! Awesome video! Megadeth has so many cool techniques in their solos and riffs. Dave Mustaine is a musical genius, and he's always hired outstanding guitar players who contrast well with his raw, dirty-sounding style. I would like to add a few more techniques: legato slides (Hangar 18, Public Enemy No. 1, and Burnt Ice) and two-note-per-string descending runs (Reckoning Day, Family Tree, Dread and the Fugitive Mind, Return to Hangar, and The Emperor). There's also some pretty advanced tapping, as well (right-hand and string-skipped). Again, great job!
Metallica: the gateway for non metal heads to metal Megadeth: for metal heads who got tired of Metallica or want to try something else (or elitists who hate Metallica because load and reload exist) Slayer: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Anthrax: underrated, for people who love thrash, no matter where you come from
Great video buddy really great. This vid is a true megadeth fan base video. It should say metallica fans not allowed, jk! And btw, its always a real pleasure to play megadeth songs perfectly!
He put the aggression in thrash you can say along with the Teutonic bands and contributed alone more than any other guitarist in the big four also influenced bands like Slayer (According to Kerry king) which are considered to be one of the pioneers of thrash metal, also a band like Metallica that's aren't that good but still considered influential in thrash, so yeah we can conclude that Dave is the Godfather of Thrash Metal also no one person alone can create or invent a completely new genre
Actually Overkill did.technically Exciter Exodus and Slayer followed.however the diversity of Mustaine during his Metallica days were off the fucking chart.no one could play like him.everybody had HIS playing as a blueprint.
I'll also add that Megadeth tends to use a lot of Major 6'ths even while in minor keys. Has a really cool sound. Used in Hangar 18, Darkest Hour, and more.
Awesome video. Been waiting for this for a long time. Know what else I've been waiting for? Glenn Tipton's guitar techniques. Like 4+ years, I've been waiting. Please, make it happen?

When musicians ask me who is my favorite living guitarist? Hands down Dave Mustaine and any guitarist he thought was good enough to hire,any of them are major ass kickers..I had the pleasure of driving him and his wife in my Limo..The best ride with someone I respect a billion percent..How many of us have the balls and talent to get kicked out of the biggest Metal band in this world. And start one that's in my opinion way better,top to bottom.. I would have jumped off a cliff..Jumped off the freeway..I mean way better guitarist way better drummer. The bass is world class too. I love Mustaine"s music too much.. The greatest Redhead ever.. my Dog any day for sure!!
Dave had to learn and practice alot to get better after hearing the Kirk's solos in Kill em all haha because I saw shows of metallica with Dave and his solos sucked crap.
i know that we keep requesting you to do this and that for us mortals / ingrates / students and I thank you on behalf of all of us. SLAYER may not be your favorite band but I do know that Tom Araya took jazz lessons and theres a method to their riffness which is yet to be deciphered. Can you please do one featuring their riffs and theory behind it. Thanks in advance. Billy.
So you've been studying alot? Well, I think it was worth every minute! Thousands of vids where some jerks telling us how-to-play, but only one who does it right. Congrats!
@~7.40 that "skipping a note" was also used in the My Last Words intro. Although I'm certain a lot of these riffs and things mentioned are used in plenty of Megadeth songs!

I would love to see what James and Dave could create if they were together in a band right now. Not metallica or megadeth, just another band but with those two creating riffs together
Great Video.Playing myself for decades in several metal bands and still could not figure out some Megadeth Riffs perfect.Yeah, it's Megadeth.Haha.This video will help all the beginners if they are willing to learn outside their 'comfort zone'. You name it.What I personaly always loved are those exotic or arabian scales.I am in a Iron Maiden Tribute Band and they often used those things back in the days.Keep on rocking with your great videos.
I found ascending 4's harder to do than descending. Maybe because I listened to alot of Anthrax at the time and Dan Spitz did alot of those descending (Madhouse, Indians, In My World, etc.). Just kinda shocked me that most struggle with the opposite of your example
bravo! you continue to impress me. With this latest video, you have become my favorite RUclips guitar channel...along with Johan Segeborn...check him out!
been watching a LOT of your vids lately, now I've finally subbed. Cheers! btw, would you consider doing a video on some Slipknot writing techniques, like this Megadeth vid? Cheers in advance! :)
I like your playing, the way you explain and IMO DAVE IS A MASTER SONGWRITER----------YOU ARE YOUNG SO JUST KEEP IT UP. You could easily make many different dvds b/c you have "IT" (ABITITY TO PLAY AND TEACH TO NOT OVERWHEM WHOM LIKE ME SUCK BUT YOU DO A FANTASTIC JOB WITH LIKE DOING WHAT YOUR DOING THIS IS A GIFT YOU HOPEFULLY ARE AWHERE OF MANY GREAT PLAYERS CAN NOT DO AND TEACH) KEEP IT UP--------------------------------------------------------------.
It's time for a yo!! Oh sorry wrong comment section ;) love MegadetH \m/ great video. I like both too! Why do people take sides. There's a so many things to take in from both
very very nice one mike. \m/. the into the lungs of hell thing is done by dave with his thumb ;), he was bragging abot that in the 80ts. same thing as in the washington is next solo.
Wow this is an amazing video, I have only recently found this channel.I will get so much out of this from patterns and the tips/tricks shown thanks. This will keep me busy and when I play I forget all life's problems and negativity. (side note I live about 15min from where Dave made "in error" one of the most controversial comments ever... Later inspiring the song Holy Wars)
I'm on like .25 speed and have a hard time following everything. LOL!!!!!!!! You are the best teacher with a metal twist out there though!!! I have no problem buying!
0:15 Lol... now all I can picture is thrash kids dance-fighting. "When you're Megadeth, you are 'Deth all the way. From your first cigarette to your last dying day."
What's your opinion on the Cryptic Writing album stylistically? How do you view it given the music scence it came out(1997, the era when Load and Reload came out)?
God hearing your metal tone on that guitar reminds me of my ex gf's late grandfathers 1980s solid state Randall RG-80 combo with a 20in Celestial speaker in it. I was soo bummed having to give it back lol now I have a horrible tiny off brand shoebox amp with zero distortion no sustain it sounds like crap and I have a bigger combo amp that has all types of FXs built into it with a screen on it but the input where you plug the guitar cord into it is completely broken, so it needs a new one saudered on but I dont know how to do any of that to fix it so it's like torture having to play without an amp when I play thrash and Death metal music 95% of the time
That first part where your playing the Peace Sells bridge part and you called it "thirds" when they play the same thing just on a different octave, my favorite band "Death" used those alot in their songs aswell but I always thought they were basically "fifths" but I'm horrible when it comes to any technical terms. I can cover songs all day by ear or watching the finger placement in videos but I couldn't tell you the first thing about what I'm playing lol....one thing that I notice is it's hard to find the correct tabs to my favorite songs so theres parts I dont know what they're playing and cant sound it out. Especially solos, I end up getting lost when learning them because of the speed, it doesnt sound right until you speed it up
Can you do angry again from megadeth?? Never found some really good proper tabs for that song! It’s really a cool song but not easy to find out. Would be Great if you’d do this song. 😮💨
Dave is like a crazy scientist always working on something new. I think his brain is just wired differently. And to be able to play those weird and difficult riffs and sing at the same time? I can barely Pat my head rub my stomach and walk at the same time 😂
love the kramer!!! as a kramer player myself its nice to see others rock these guitars, they are work horses! espcially the one u have . a SM-1? i believe , i own the vanguard mustaine model and a baretta special which i modded to all hell! hahaha
Dude I think your Holy Wars intro is still wrong. When the riff shifts up to F#, the last note is B not Bb. It's not a straight shift of the whole E riff up a tone, it resolves back to the 5th of E before shifting back down to E.
I love Martys playing but If you break it down he usually frets notes that would be out of key but the ghost bends them so they are in tune and also he plays sequences chromatically meaning at some point he's playing out of key also however he plays it so intentionally your ear just accepts it and all is well. Marty talks about this in one of his videos in depth. He didn't learn conventionally and so most of his style came about because he was just trying to make it all as easy as possible for himself which is why he plays in box positions very often just like the traditional pentatonic blues box positions. It's awesome he learned like this otherwise he would of sounded just like the thousand other guitar players did from the 80s...yuk. Not meaning all are bad but sometimes your ear can get tired of the 3 note per string thing. Thank God for Marty Friedman opening the doors to a different way to make the guitar sound exotic and best of all he is instantly recognisable also even on Jason Becker records.:)
Mustaine is the extremely rare musician that can write riffs, solos, and lyrics at a very high level, as well as sing while playing complicated riffs

Hands down Dave Mustaine and any guitarist he thought was good enough to hire,any of them are major ass kickers..I had the pleasure of driving him and his wife in my Limo..The best ride with someone I respect a billion percent..How many of us have the balls and talent to get kicked out of the biggest Metal band in this world. And start one that's in my opinion way better,top to bottom.. I would have jumped off a cliff..Jumped off the freeway..I mean way better guitarist way better drummer. The bass is world class too. I love Mustaine"s music too much.. The greatest Redhead ever.. my Dog any day for sure!!
Wow! Great job, very informative. This makes you appreciate Dave's genius, even more.
Im one of the lucky guys that like both Metallica and Megadeth.. The West Side Story comment made me laugh.So true. Love Yr Vids Mike. Cheers
When playing Marty Friedman riffs, you should have your picking hand at a weird angle like a lobster claw...
Dave had to learn and practice alot to get better after hearing the Kirk's solos in Kill em all haha because I saw shows of metallica with Dave and his solos sucked crap.
i know that we keep requesting you to do this and that for us mortals / ingrates / students and I thank you on behalf of all of us.
SLAYER may not be your favorite band but I do know that Tom Araya took jazz lessons and theres a method to their riffness which is yet to be deciphered.
Can you please do one featuring their riffs and theory behind it.
Thanks in advance.
Billy.
Thank James and Lars for Megadeth.
So you've been studying alot?
Well, I think it was worth every minute!
Thousands of vids where some jerks telling us how-to-play, but only one who does it right.
Congrats!
What an amazing video. Thanks for creating this.
Thanks and you're welcome. :)
Also those major third chords are seemingly Jon Schaffer of Iced Earth's favourite chords. Noticeably prevalent on the first few albums.
@~7.40 that "skipping a note" was also used in the My Last Words intro. Although I'm certain a lot of these riffs and things mentioned are used in plenty of Megadeth songs!

Hope you can do some Iron Maiden & Slipknot soon. Your videos are great.
I would love to see what James and Dave could create if they were together in a band right now. Not metallica or megadeth, just another band but with those two creating riffs together
Like, imagine a mix of Hardwired to self destruct with distophya
I love the train of consequences riff cuz ut makes it sound more like a train 😂
Megadeth got me into playing guitar. Great vid.
Nice video. It would be great if you can do Judas Priest and Iron Maiden next. Well, if you like those two bands.
Marty's a legend too. I HAVE too followed his solo carrer after megadeth!
Dude what's wrong with your pickups? 😂
27:50 Dave in such cases using your thumb, laying it on the 12 fret
fucking love Dave his vocals lyrics song writing in general
Great Video.Playing myself for decades in several metal bands and still could not figure out some Megadeth Riffs perfect.Yeah, it's Megadeth.Haha.This video will help all the beginners if they are willing to learn outside their 'comfort zone'. You name it.What I personaly always loved are those exotic or arabian scales.I am in a Iron Maiden Tribute Band and they often used those things back in the days.Keep on rocking with your great videos.
dude rattlehead and skull beneath the skin in the same video your the best
could you so Brian May
AF.Gregory yes please Brian may jack white or buckethead
Mustain left metalica for a reason
I found ascending 4's harder to do than descending. Maybe because I listened to alot of Anthrax at the time and Dan Spitz did alot of those descending (Madhouse, Indians, In My World, etc.). Just kinda shocked me that most struggle with the opposite of your example
bravo! you continue to impress me. With this latest video, you have become my favorite RUclips guitar channel...along with Johan Segeborn...check him out!
been watching a LOT of your vids lately, now I've finally subbed. Cheers! btw, would you consider doing a video on some Slipknot writing techniques, like this Megadeth vid? Cheers in advance! :)
YESS!!!! Thank you soooo much for making this one!!!! Your content is incredibly amazing! 🤘🤘🤘
I like your playing, the way you explain and IMO DAVE IS A MASTER SONGWRITER----------YOU ARE YOUNG SO JUST KEEP IT UP. You could easily make many different dvds b/c you have "IT" (ABITITY TO PLAY AND TEACH TO NOT OVERWHEM WHOM LIKE ME SUCK BUT YOU DO A FANTASTIC JOB WITH LIKE DOING WHAT YOUR DOING THIS IS A GIFT YOU HOPEFULLY ARE AWHERE OF MANY GREAT PLAYERS CAN NOT DO AND TEACH)
KEEP IT UP--------------------------------------------------------------.
It's time for a yo!! Oh sorry wrong comment section ;) love MegadetH \m/ great video. I like both too! Why do people take sides. There's a so many things to take in from both
Would have been nice to put the ads after the segments instead of in the middle of them..
very very nice one mike. \m/. the into the lungs of hell thing is done by dave with his thumb ;), he was bragging abot that in the 80ts. same thing as in the washington is next solo.
i wanna hear more about this marty Friedman story
Wow this is an amazing video, I have only recently found this channel.I will get so much out of this from patterns and the tips/tricks shown thanks. This will keep me busy and when I play I forget all life's problems and negativity. (side note I live about 15min from where Dave made "in error" one of the most controversial comments ever... Later inspiring the song Holy Wars)
I'm on like .25 speed and have a hard time following everything. LOL!!!!!!!! You are the best teacher with a metal twist out there though!!! I have no problem buying!
0:15 Lol... now all I can picture is thrash kids dance-fighting. "When you're Megadeth, you are 'Deth all the way. From your first cigarette to your last dying day."
What's your opinion on the Cryptic Writing album stylistically? How do you view it given the music scence it came out(1997, the era when Load and Reload came out)?
God hearing your metal tone on that guitar reminds me of my ex gf's late grandfathers 1980s solid state Randall RG-80 combo with a 20in Celestial speaker in it. I was soo bummed having to give it back lol now I have a horrible tiny off brand shoebox amp with zero distortion no sustain it sounds like crap and I have a bigger combo amp that has all types of FXs built into it with a screen on it but the input where you plug the guitar cord into it is completely broken, so it needs a new one saudered on but I dont know how to do any of that to fix it so it's like torture having to play without an amp when I play thrash and Death metal music 95% of the time
That first part where your playing the Peace Sells bridge part and you called it "thirds" when they play the same thing just on a different octave, my favorite band "Death" used those alot in their songs aswell but I always thought they were basically "fifths" but I'm horrible when it comes to any technical terms. I can cover songs all day by ear or watching the finger placement in videos but I couldn't tell you the first thing about what I'm playing lol....one thing that I notice is it's hard to find the correct tabs to my favorite songs so theres parts I dont know what they're playing and cant sound it out. Especially solos, I end up getting lost when learning them because of the speed, it doesnt sound right until you speed it up
Back to the axe grind,back to mustaine rhythms.fingers beware.I feel like god sacrificing my son's(fingers)to a a good cause thou shalt suffer
Saw the title and had to click. I am looking forward to my guitar session this evening - thanks!
It's hilarious watching you on .5 speed and imagining how much weed you've smoked!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can you do angry again from megadeth?? Never found some really good proper tabs for that song! It’s really a cool song but not easy to find out. Would be Great if you’d do this song. 😮💨
Dave is like a crazy scientist always working on something new. I think his brain is just wired differently. And to be able to play those weird and difficult riffs and sing at the same time? I can barely Pat my head rub my stomach and walk at the same time 😂
love the kramer!!! as a kramer player myself its nice to see others rock these guitars, they are work horses! espcially the one u have . a SM-1? i believe , i own the vanguard mustaine model and a baretta special which i modded to all hell! hahaha
Dude I think your Holy Wars intro is still wrong. When the riff shifts up to F#, the last note is B not Bb. It's not a straight shift of the whole E riff up a tone, it resolves back to the 5th of E before shifting back down to E.
10:17 i think its called the scorpion technique
I love Martys playing but If you break it down he usually frets notes that would be out of key but the ghost bends them so they are in tune and also he plays sequences chromatically meaning at some point he's playing out of key also however he plays it so intentionally your ear just accepts it and all is well. Marty talks about this in one of his videos in depth. He didn't learn conventionally and so most of his style came about because he was just trying to make it all as easy as possible for himself which is why he plays in box positions very often just like the traditional pentatonic blues box positions.
It's awesome he learned like this otherwise he would of sounded just like the thousand other guitar players did from the 80s...yuk. Not meaning all are bad but sometimes your ear can get tired of the 3 note per string thing. Thank God for Marty Friedman opening the doors to a different way to make the guitar sound exotic and best of all he is instantly recognisable also even on Jason Becker records.:)
mustaine + marty ✌👌
