Hey I recognize that profile pic Love me some Whispered, Sakura Omen is super choice Edit: After looking at your playlists we seem to be musical soul mates, Dance with The Dead, Sixto Sounds remixes, Enya....won't be weird about it though Ever checked out those classic SSH remixes of game music? That's what the Fighting of the Spirit track made me think of, it's synth guitar but they rock imo
So FUCKING talented by the age of just 16. And your talent on guitar is 110% of the time overshadowed by your comedian behaviour. Don't get me wrong, we all love what you do, but I think it's a pity that not everyone can realize what an amazing guitarist you are.
Dang…. That was extremely impressive, at both stages. Hell when I was 16 my clumsy ass was accidentally smacking myself in the mouth while singing into my hairbrushes. You were fantastic then and now!!
It’s my favourite Megadeth solo ever, so I’m a little disappointed you changed it and added all those sweeps. That being said, the fact you were doing it at 16 and have mastered it now is most impressive
I was going to say… I’m pretty sure Marty plays like quick arpeggios with some tapping with the middle finger in this section, not this sweep technique. Sounds cleaner the way Marty plays it. But props for making that section his own
@@TheSilverGate I 100% agree. That's my theory on why breakdowns got more popular in the younger subgenres. Lost of self masterbatory solos less memorable ones. Something got lost inbetween those times. Not that theres zero good new solos, just few and further between. A great solo takes you into a journey.
@@KTF0 I think it's less that there are fewer good new solos, and more that there's so much to sift through nowadays it's hard to find the best of the best.
I attempted it when I was 14 btw I’m still 14 but i started playing when I 13 and ngl for just a year of playing it was sloppy but it’s still god for only a year of playing
@@sportidiots6587 Guys are lucky you have the tools and tutorials today to pick up,guys definitely learn so much faster. We had to use bad tablature books or learn by ear Stick with it,you’ll be a kick ass guitarist someday
@@johnnyhotrod Learning by Ear can be hard at first, but if you stick with it it gets easier, and it is much more rewarding. That’s how I learn all of my songs. Check out my cover of tornado of souls, and the rest of mine.
This solo encompasses so much technicality, being able to play it correctly at full speed like felt like graduating guitar-academy. Arpeggios, sweep picking, string skipping, alternate picking, pinch harmonics, pullons, pullofs, speed, accuracy and I'm probably forgetting stuff. Took me 20 years and I'm still not consistent in nailing it!
Dude you can't beat yourself up for not getting Marty solos to sound right. He has such a weird picking style and is incredibly expressive for metal. Your vibrato sounded sooo close, really impressed. The sweep timing too, I dunno if it's just me, but when I hear Marty do it, it seems like he's kind of behind the beat. It always seems like he hangs on just a split second then releases on bends, sweeps, etc. But yah, your playing doesn't sound like generic Instagram shred. You have a great tone and feel, much respect.
He does infact most of the great solos from these classic metal eras Are not perfectly quantized to a grid like all this modern lifeless shit. You should still strive for perfection but enjoy the human elements that make it sound good.
Been playing since I was 7 and currently 15. Going strong I'd say, definetely haven't been practicing SHREDDING the whole time, but I am 100% self taught. I don't tend to play much of metal anymore I moved more toward the Van Halen stage of my playing. I like to free style doodle a lot for practicing, I also use a metronome when practicing scales and solos. I do aspire to be like you when you were 16, cause you kicked ass and still do. Rock on Bradley!
I personally feel like all of us guitarists always feel like we aren't able to play "as" good as we like, I feel like SRV or even Steve Vai always wanted more out of their existing songs and or techniques. Very well done. I think you put my definition of guitar in one segment

It's beautiful to see how far you have come mr Beadley. Keep up and Friedman himself will have to bow to your technique (of course he will no longer be able to play due to advanced age by then). Amazing! Cheers from Brazil, I'm a huge fan!
As far as timing goes, Marty's style has such a loose style of playing, that his runs can start to sound more free from the metronome, but he pulls it off so nicely, it's what makes his style so superior.
Great job, especially the one at 16! This solo is so tough that even Marty would play an easier version of it for most live shows. Though I'd love to see an update without the sweeping; Marty has said he picks the notes and doesn't sweep.
People do not truly understand how difficult these sweeps and shapes actually are to get right! Even at sixteen you understood the method ,and were only off on timing causing you to rush! Your present day playing of this solo is as brilliant and magnificent as it gets! It’s very impressive to someone who also can play this solo! In fact ,after watching this I’ve realized my version of this isn’t as perfect,or as on point as i previously thought ,after all! 🔥🔥🖤🖤🔥🔥
Seriously man - you are a monster on guitar at another level You have a laugh, aren’t pretentious and seem like a genuinely top bloke Phenomenal skills my man Love your playing
I have been playing for 12 years. I love how you showcase the realities of being a musician unlike other RUclips guitarists that only show perfection. From watching your videos, I am more inspired by the progress I've made as a musician. Still have many mistakes, but they are not nearly as bad as they used to be. Thank you.
I love the inner dialogue on screen talking us through what you're presenting. It's made me rethink the way I make content to be more inviting to other producers
Amazing dude, at 16 i could barely played the riffs from Tornado Of Soul, im 29 (close to 30) and i still cannot play that solo ... I love that also you still put your own touch to the solo, so its not a copy of the original
Oh wow, you even used those Guitar Pro/MIDI as the backing track, those were the days. Lol And now you're an amazing guitarist, keep it up, Beanley! ❤️
La fluidez en la digitalización y el ataque de la mano derecha y muñeca con la púa. Son características de una madurez y pasión por el instrumento. Mis felicitaciones para ti colega.
as a year long guitar player who is mostly into simple stuff like nirvana and alice in chains i was amazed by the solo at 16 then the now part appeared and the perfection of it amazed me. It makes my thought even stronger that learning that same note at a perfect level pays off instead of giving up and playing all notes at good level.
Wow that was so awesome to see a vintage video of you shredding. Dude your like a fuckin prodigy. Although I will say your playing is more clean these days haha lol. Love it well done Mr. Hall
Awesome video. The recent recording is obviously incredibly impressive, but I love the teenager one because you can feel the drama of your younger self trying to nail an incredibly difficult piece, and hear the little mistakes and instances of string noise, compared to the new recording, where you can definitely hear that you’ve been playing this solo for years and have a totally valid interpretation in your own right, the same way Kiko and Chris Broderick do. Sort of a Gary Moore vs Jason Richardson type of thing- both incredibly awesome in their own ways. I’ve been playing a couple years and am approaching your teenage self’s level of abilities, so this was incredibly inspiring to see.
Bro I'm starting to get pretty good at master of puppets! Now I just need the solo and that one breakdown Kirk and James do mid song! You're an amazing guitarist!
Hey man, how's your progress? Have you learned the solos? James' solo is not that hard if you ask me. I have not even attempted kirk's. Give it your best and you'll get there🤘🏻
@@het2419 thx I haven't been mainly focusing on Master of Puppets, I've been doing other songs like Tornado of Souls by Megadeth, and other Megadeth songs. Thx for asking, I'll learn it eventually
The day Bradley was born he drove his parents back from the hospital and bought his first guitar in a smelly pawn store while heading home pedal to the metal .
thank you for not only being one of the funniest guitar dudes on youtube, but for also reminding us all the time that we're all human and that each and every one of us makes progress at our own pace. you're a legend.
Dude if 16 year old me knew 16 year old you he would be very jealous that you could play that solo and add such gnarly sweeps. Don’t ever stop shredding Bradley!
Memory's a little hazy, but I'm pretty sure I found out about this solo through you, Bradley. From one of your Tornado of Souls mini-series (Thanks btw!). After that, I decided to search for the song and found Kiko Loureiro's playthrough and after finishing said video, I said to myself "I must learn this song!". That was when I started to get into more technical playing, have put many hours on the solo and still trying to learn that part to this day. And then on February last year, late into the night, I was several hours in on learning and grinding the solo, I suddenly had a chest pain (either it was caused by fatigue or by my medical condition) and I passed out. My dad went to toilet and saw me on the floor in my room, thankfully I didn't close the door or else my family wouldn't have known I collapsed. Even after that event, I'm still as obsessed as ever when it comes to this solo, albeit, being a little more careful, so I don't collapse again. 😅 I guess that's one of the stories of my journey with this solo and guitar playing in general. Felt like sharing this story, after seeing your journey with the solo. And again, thanks for introducing me to this great song. 😄
Damn man, as a fellow musician and student of the craft, that's inspiring as hell. The dedication to work until that point, while unhealthy, is kinda off the charts badass. Reminds me of when I nearly bit through my lip after playin 12 hours of jazz gigs on clarinet and sax in HS... great times even with the painful parts! I hope you're learning to take care of your health a bit more (as we all struggle to) and still shredding!
@@steve7745 The condition is more stable as of late and I do try to be more careful after what had happened. Still trying to play as much as I could, despite challenges like mild pain and sweating on the hands, caused by the condition. Definitely don't have any plans on stopping, since I picked up the guitar again in recent years as a form of therapy, though sometimes I do push myself a little too hard and kinda beating the purpose. 😂
Damn dude i'm 17 and at 16 the only solo i could play was blinded by fear by at the gates, now... Umm... It didn't really change, shredding is really hard
I had this BIG reflection a couple of weeks ago too. From being 17 or so trying to learn Death to now being able to play the solo for Flesh and the power it holds it made me very happy. I’ve realized at that age back then you’re trying to learn the song but you don’t focus on the minor details, it’s only when you slowly listen note by note that you start picking up patterns.
U guys are heavily talented individuals. And i am sure u can succeed in anything, if u can beast on guitar. There is so much consistency and personal life skill that it takes. It applies into other things. I catch myself making analogies to my guitar playing to every other thing nowadays. It just works. Lot of life lessons in it. Profound
Again, your playing inspires me to play more lead guitar, Even though my lead skills are cringe AF. I’m a great rhythm player lol. Great video as always man.
You were more technically proficient at 16 than I've ever been (age 30 now). Then again I've never been great at sitting down and disciplined practicing 😅 I still can't precisely nail that fast little pentatonic lick in the Seize the Day solo. I'm much better at everything else in the solo though 🤣
Cool stuff! I'm 59 and I have recordings of myself when I was 18 doing things that blow me away. A more basic, but more adventurous version of my self now. I play ultra-fancy now with speed and articulation, but it's interesting to hear how I played before adding decades of experience. It's debatable whether the fancy stuff is actually better.
Fuck yeah!! man, that was sick, thanks for showing us your evolution. this is exactly what i was needing to watch on these days. i've been playing guitar for almost 15y and most of the time i was frustrated(still am) cause i couldn't play some shreds solos like As i am from Dream Theater (still can't) but when you look back and see how far you've come, it greatly minimizes frustration Great job bro, keep rocking!!
Excellent choice in the subject of this video. I sometimes look at myself and I'm like, why did I take years to perfect certain solos? What's wrong with me when guys like Bradley Hall do it so quickly? Well, there you go. There's nothing wrong with that, it's the same for everyone. I think you may have won an award for most videos on the Tornado solo.
Now this was a cool journey. I loved both solos. I tend to appreciate the attempt to give it a go with limited resources. The now version sounds better and more polished, but damn Bradley, you were awesome as a youngster, and have just gotten better.
I see what you mean is you finally learned your own version of the solo! I like the sweeping part but, in my opinion, it has tried to replace the most iconic part of and iconic solo. I mean... still fucking awesome and I couldn't get anywhere near doing that!!!
Man, when I was 16 I did nothing but playing guitar. My first wall that I hit was Kirk's solo in Master of Puppets, it took an eternity to get it right. Now with 36 I'm pretty confident and consistent to get it right even with 6 beers in my blood but it was a long way there. Countless hours of practicing, I remember going insane when all I did was spider exercises for 5 hours a day... for weeks. But eventually, I am where I am now and I don't miss any second of it to be honest. Never stop playing
0:57 since you've mentioned that bend...up until now none like Marty can bend not even Kiko but at sixteen after all those runs you managed to bend the right time just like Marty incredible...simply brillant 👏
Killer talent at 16 bro!!..I was just chugging at that age...I tend to over complicate my sweep picking..just started to get them down after like the last five years...I've been playing since like 1993..😝
This tracks with my experience. What you have by the age of 16-17 in terms of ability is 80% of all you'll ever have. It's absolutely frightening how much you can learn as a child with seemingly no effort, and how grueling it is to keep climbing the hill after your mid 20s. Kudos to you and thanks for all the videos!
I'm happy to see that I'm 17 and my technique isn't much worse than yours at that age. I watch youtubers like you and I get mad about how good the videos are, but this gives me a bit of hope (and motivation to record my own videos xd)
Love this video because of just how true it is. Many times in my playing I get really down, but then I take a look back at a demo from just a year ago, then 2 years, then 3, and I just realize how much my playing has drastically improved. Guitar is one of those things that just subtly gets better with time, and it can be hard to realize it.
Yes bro. True. I want to run… while still walking……. IN EVERYTHING! Call it an addictive personality. Or im a big dreamer. Just get me there already!!! Lot of work patience and years for the good stuff in life, im seeing
Just started learning it, im about a year older than you when you filmed that. I just know im gonna spend ages on this one😂thanks for the inspo Bradley
Wow man, one thing i learned from this video, NEVER GIVE UP. I'm gonna pick up every solos that I attempted to learn and failed miserably and grind everyday now. Thanks man, never thought a video could impact me this much.
And me 18 y.o just started playing and already dreaming to become a star one day. This kind of videos are really makes us noobs get depressed quickly right after we just found smth we like to do
The guitar pro midi sound backing track and Digitech rp series processor pedals. Haha. Not to mention crying so many tears of frustration trying to play the tornado solo and failing spectacularly. Great times. ❤️
The ending of this video - “do this, do that” - is my favorite part, but I also enjoyed watching your right hand sweeping technique during the newer part of the video. 👍🏼
Excellent playing mate even at 16 you were very good but now you can see with maturity and more experienced your a very polished and Excellent player/performer. Goodluck with the rest of your journey.
All things considered, that solo you did back then in the age of 16 was really impressive.

I’ve realized at that age back then you’re trying to learn the song but you don’t focus on the minor details, it’s only when you slowly listen note by note that you start picking up patterns.
U guys are heavily talented individuals. And i am sure u can succeed in anything, if u can beast on guitar. There is so much consistency and personal life skill that it takes. It applies into other things. I catch myself making analogies to my guitar playing to every other thing nowadays. It just works.
Lot of life lessons in it. Profound
Again, your playing inspires me to play more lead guitar, Even though my lead skills are cringe AF. I’m a great rhythm player lol. Great video as always man.
Same here. I've got a solid rhythm but a cringey lead mode, but my rhythm overshadows and people don't find any faults
Love you man, you were a monster at 16 already, but of all the parts you went and change the most iconic piece of the solo :(
The caption at the end... so inspiring.
I used to be bad at playing Wonderwall...
Now I can play solos
This was actually a really inspiring video for sure great progress Bradley
You were more technically proficient at 16 than I've ever been (age 30 now). Then again I've never been great at sitting down and disciplined practicing 😅
I still can't precisely nail that fast little pentatonic lick in the Seize the Day solo. I'm much better at everything else in the solo though 🤣
Cool stuff! I'm 59 and I have recordings of myself when I was 18 doing things that blow me away. A more basic, but more adventurous version of my self now. I play ultra-fancy now with speed and articulation, but it's interesting to hear how I played before adding decades of experience. It's debatable whether the fancy stuff is actually better.
Fuck yeah!! man, that was sick, thanks for showing us your evolution. this is exactly what i was needing to watch on these days. i've been playing guitar for almost 15y and most of the time i was frustrated(still am) cause i couldn't play some shreds solos like As i am from Dream Theater (still can't) but when you look back and see how far you've come, it greatly minimizes frustration
Great job bro, keep rocking!!
Excellent choice in the subject of this video. I sometimes look at myself and I'm like, why did I take years to perfect certain solos? What's wrong with me when guys like Bradley Hall do it so quickly? Well, there you go. There's nothing wrong with that, it's the same for everyone. I think you may have won an award for most videos on the Tornado solo.
Now this was a cool journey. I loved both solos. I tend to appreciate the attempt to give it a go with limited resources. The now version sounds better and more polished, but damn Bradley, you were awesome as a youngster, and have just gotten better.

Seeing you at 16 being just as good as me is giving me hope as a guitarist
Dude, your 16 year old you, puts my 37 year old me to absolute shame. Kudos to you! 🤘
Yea I was just like... bro I'm 36 and I'm still working out the first like 15 notes lol
I see what you mean is you finally learned your own version of the solo!
I like the sweeping part but, in my opinion, it has tried to replace the most iconic part of and iconic solo.
I mean... still fucking awesome and I couldn't get anywhere near doing that!!!
Bradley, чувак я так горд за тебя!
Что тут делают фанаты доры и моргенштерна?
It's very hard to replicate another guy's style. Good job.
Thank you for posting this, just came back to guitar and felt like quitting again but this shows it’s all about time and patience
Dude has more talent in four fingers than I have in my entire body! 🤯
This is by very far the best guitar solo I’ve ever heard , especially 1:42
Man, when I was 16 I did nothing but playing guitar. My first wall that I hit was Kirk's solo in Master of Puppets, it took an eternity to get it right. Now with 36 I'm pretty confident and consistent to get it right even with 6 beers in my blood but it was a long way there. Countless hours of practicing, I remember going insane when all I did was spider exercises for 5 hours a day... for weeks. But eventually, I am where I am now and I don't miss any second of it to be honest.
Never stop playing
What is the song! I am gonna cry! Such an accomplishment imo at 16 and you are better now….❤
By 48, I predict you're going to master this. Great job, my dude.
Sounds amazing👌🤘I been playing for 1-2 years now
0:57 since you've mentioned that bend...up until now none like Marty can bend not even Kiko but at sixteen after all those runs you managed to bend the right time just like Marty incredible...simply brillant 👏
Its fine bradley hall, that guitar solo looks good.
Killer talent at 16 bro!!..I was just chugging at that age...I tend to over complicate my sweep picking..just started to get them down after like the last five years...I've been playing since like 1993..😝
This tracks with my experience. What you have by the age of 16-17 in terms of ability is 80% of all you'll ever have. It's absolutely frightening how much you can learn as a child with seemingly no effort, and how grueling it is to keep climbing the hill after your mid 20s. Kudos to you and thanks for all the videos!
I started at an age of 20😢
@@methal0-111 Right? I was super casual about learning in my teens and now that I'm older it takes forever to get new techniques down...
ruclips.net/video/8_1EywRL_Ss/видео.html the video you are looking for (for you metalheads :) )
holy sheesh dude that sweeping is better than ive ever witnessed i wont lie... j getting into metal def subscribing
2:04 Those lines really inspired me sir,
Your 16 year old self is still better than 99.9% of guitar players.
I'm happy to see that I'm 17 and my technique isn't much worse than yours at that age. I watch youtubers like you and I get mad about how good the videos are, but this gives me a bit of hope (and motivation to record my own videos xd)
Love this video because of just how true it is. Many times in my playing I get really down, but then I take a look back at a demo from just a year ago, then 2 years, then 3, and I just realize how much my playing has drastically improved. Guitar is one of those things that just subtly gets better with time, and it can be hard to realize it.
Yes bro. True. I want to run… while still walking……. IN EVERYTHING!
Call it an addictive personality. Or im a big dreamer. Just get me there already!!!
Lot of work patience and years for the good stuff in life, im seeing
Just started learning it, im about a year older than you when you filmed that. I just know im gonna spend ages on this one😂thanks for the inspo Bradley
At age 16 you actually nailed the ending section and that's honestly the weirdest part of the solo.
0:02 Why music in background sounds like a DooM midi
Thats actually fucking awesome for that age.
Back then I wasn’t even ready to think about completely butchering this solo
16 years? I mean, wow, it's a great encouragement for someone who's just starting to learn how to play guitar. Thanks Bradley :(
It's like 240p to 8K!!! The feel, timing, vibrato and command is amazing!! You kill!
Wow man, one thing i learned from this video, NEVER GIVE UP. I'm gonna pick up every solos that I attempted to learn and failed miserably and grind everyday now. Thanks man, never thought a video could impact me this much.
Been playing guitar for 9 months now and can play it. Learned it in 3 months. gr Leon Walraven
Tone, technique, vibrato & technique like this truly do take decades to develop
I appreciate the bit of knowledge you shared at the end.. “step back”.. needed to hear that today
16 YEARS OLD!!! You were already amazing!!!
Question, whend did you start playing?
And me 18 y.o just started playing and already dreaming to become a star one day. This kind of videos are really makes us noobs get depressed quickly right after we just found smth we like to do
Bradley, when I was 16 I can't even fucking sweep. You are a hell of a shredder!
First Backing track sounds like an awesome fighting sega game 🤜🏽💥🤛🏽
The guitar pro midi sound backing track and Digitech rp series processor pedals. Haha. Not to mention crying so many tears of frustration trying to play the tornado solo and failing spectacularly. Great times. ❤️
Smashed the like button just because of that Ghost shirt. Rock on man!
Looks and Sounds Great to me,Practice makes Perfect...16 years..Wow,You did it😂👍Thanks for Sharing..Keep Rockin🤘🖤🎸🎶
The ending of this video - “do this, do that” - is my favorite part, but I also enjoyed watching your right hand sweeping technique during the newer part of the video. 👍🏼
very humble!!
Legendary video
Excellent playing mate even at 16 you were very good but now you can see with maturity and more experienced your a very polished and Excellent player/performer. Goodluck with the rest of your journey.
It was totally sick back then, a 16 years old sweeping like that, again, it was sick !
0:40 bruh this was totally not expected 🤯🤯
just discovered you today, holy hell that vibrato is so satisfying
Absolutely killed it now (not bad back then too). One of my favourite solos, btw.
My guy! Wearing a Blood Inside shirt, too. I had that and Svidd on my sleep soundtrack rotation throughout high school.
Fuckn killing it bro...
Mad skills bro, 16 year old u was awesome.
Your 16 year old was already better than present me, and you've only become insanely better, such inspiration
