What's with everyone jumping on the bandwagon of "His tone is garbage!" or "His playing was sloppy!". Where are all your videos showing us how it "should" be played or "should" sound? I don't see your videos......I see this guys video and I think he did a pretty good lesson.
Nicely done man, cool riff I'll be praticing as well. Watching Dave do the spider chord you have it pretty spot on. I find it hard, my pinky is like double jointed but I'm working on it lol.
@valdivia562 Back when Dave Mustaine was in Metallica, he brought the Spider Chord to them for use in one song (Ride the Lightning). When he left Metallica, he used it in songs such as Wake Up Dead
Who cares? That's not a relevant aspect. It's more important the way he's playing and he's freakin' good! I hate those megadeth fanboys saying "yeaah YOU CAN'T PLAY MEGADETH WITHOUT A JACKSON OR A DEAN..." or those metallica fanboys saying: "I CAN'T PLAY METALLICA IF I DON"T HAVE A GIBSON". WTF DUDES? THAT'S FUCKING DUMB!
Even though that's the proper way to play the cool riff IN RTL... but at the same time, it is Dave's invention. James not using it kinda means he respects Dave enough as a superior guitarist NOT to use it.
@LfunkeyA I don't claim to be some guitar genius but it is a LITTLE! But this guy isn't a bad guitarist, by any means, he clearly knows what he's doing! I just can't help but feel GuitarWorld in general is letting things slip these days though :/ The videos aren't as worthwhile any more!
@ArseLoad0fMetal666 Metalcore itself isn't bad! As I Lay Dying, Darkest Hour and a couple of others are pretty decent! But I agree in a sense! Black Veil Brides for example are a bit of a trend, but unfortunately, if GuitarWorld don't go with the trend, a lot of people will stop paying them and a lot of people will stop watching the videos :/ :( Believe me, if I had a say in it myself they wouldn't exist on here xD, But that's the way the wind blows sadly :(
I understand that and I understood that when I made my post. I'm not trying to be rude or anything my point is that I have no idea what the fuck I meant by that :D Sorry bout that shit.
@threex4 Fair enough! :L The betcha can't play this days were still better than this though :/ I'm all for promotion and quick licks and such but the playing has gone sloppy and they've started slowing down clips instead of playing slower... It's getting lazy :/
@John19Morley93 i wish they would just stop putting up all that metalcore and emo BULLSHIT, all of that music is such a fucking fashion trend and guitarworld should know better than to endorse it.....

Nice video. This is one of the most fun riffs to play in Megadeth's arsenal.
How can you have such a bad-ass name like "Scharfglass"!?

i love how when some people see epihone they automatically think its shit
My main is one and honestly wish I spent a little more for a better metal guitar but it’s ok 👍🏽

Same riff.all him
@John19Morley93
the playing or the idea? because the playing is not sloppy.
it's not invented by Mustaine, he took this idea and made this popular in 80's -90's. It was first played in blues music waay waay before..

@guitarworld he does now , I've seen live vids of James using the spider chord
good lesson
FUCK YEAH JAMES HELTFULD CANT NOT DO THIS
1. Stop using caps lock
2. Learn how to spell
3. Stop this Megadeth vs. Metallica bullshit
4. Of course he can play this
DeadSpace178 Aggressive virgin.
DeadSpace178
1. Don't feed the obvious troll
TheRomanoLV Well, it isn't that obvious in this case. Maybe he's just incredibly stupid...
DeadSpace178 Haha I think you're right, take a look at his channel, he's either a next level troll or there's is something very wrong with him
I miss old GW, with Riario and his reviews, gear, riffs, the old stuff
really nice man,good work :D
@guitarworld james uses the spider chord in ride the lightning. I've seen him using it live on that song.
I know it’s eight years old , yes he does but the riff he uses it on was written by Dave mustaine .
@@futurekillxbox972 True!
Ok now that this is done, show me how to do the opening solo to bad omen (good luck learning that.)
what is with the leather bracelet things on his right forearm?
Well done good sir
Thank you

I love Dave Mustaine!!
"sounds a little more complicated than what it is" no, it IS complicated..
Isn't that Paul's guitar? Also it's only awkward to skip strings if you suck, to me it's more fun to skip around.
What are the amp settings for this?
any else notice the big paint chip on the top of his guitar?
@John19Morley93 It's not too bad this time, but yeah I'm kinda like "meh." with what they're coming up with now
@AbsentProductions what other guy?
@LfunkeyA I don't claim to be some guitar genius but it is a LITTLE! But this guy isn't a bad guitarist, by any means, he clearly knows what he's doing!

As I Lay Dying is probably the best metalcore band. Nothing wrong with them or there music.
why an epiphone les paul custom?
at least he's using the spider chord
probably slopp, but way better than the videos they uploaded a few minutes ago with this strange woman
@MichaelD8393
why not? ^^
Megadeth on an epiphone...? Y u no play jackson guitar?
I thought it was a Dave Mustaine riff though? The one using the spider chord in Ride the Lightning that is.
You can patent chord fingering techniques???
You can if u invent them, like Dave did in the early 80's!
i have the same guitar :D
matt barf-vagin?
@guitarworld yeah, cause it's a Mustaine idea.
You used A=440 instead of 430
@BRADARISTA he is
no but mustaine wrote the riff using spider chords
@ArseLoad0fMetal666 Metalcore itself isn't bad! As I Lay Dying, Darkest Hour and a couple of others are pretty decent! But I agree in a sense!

Mustaine Fucking awesome \m/
Is it just me, or does GW have the best guitarists?
@EMGmikey epiphone les paul custon
in ride the lighting he uses
Kirk? Not James.
@John19Morley93 Id argue they never had it personally.
@daiselol Hellyeah! You got good taste :D
WHY YOU NO USE V GUITAR?
Not, the, whole, f*cking, Kill'Em All... Will people ever learn that Mustaine did NOT write the whole damn album?
Yeaah
someone did not learn the spider chord.........
That guy has a cool name lol
@guitarworld because kirk cant play them
@John19Morley93 AILD, DH, and BTBAM are the shit!
I understand that and I understood that when I made my post. I'm not trying to be rude or anything my point is that I have no idea what the fuck I meant by that :D
Sorry bout that shit.
Learn that spiderchord
@Katzenkaiser tushay! :)
@John19Morley93 Well it's a hard riff
@valdivia562 screw spider chording. gimick.
God damn it guys STOP PLAYING EPIPHONES
spider Chord!
Sipider chord \o/

\m/
wake up dead uses spider chord
No shit
@@DimeDCSGO lol
PLAY FREEBIRD!!!
I guess ride the lightining is Dave stuff :D like kill em all ;)
Duh.he wrote the namesake song
Sabe
@threex4 Fair enough! :L The betcha can't play this days were still better than this though :/ I'm all for promotion and quick licks and such but the playing has gone sloppy and they've started slowing down clips instead of playing slower... It's getting lazy :/
I smell a troll...
should get metal mike to play/demo the metal gear.
this guy looks stressed out
@beefhasslehoff In what world is Gibson trash? Epiphone sure, but Gibson?
Glenn Wellmann We've got a gibson fanboy here don't we
That guitar needs new pick ups.
Not bad for him, but it's not good enough anyway!
How is this sloppy? Do you guys don't have ears?
No first
bit sloppy yeah. but still good!
G5 Bhahahaha
you kinda have an awkward picking
Dont like the tone at all.
What a tragic playing
Properly one of the poorest videos I’ve seen of explaining a riff
not bad but thats not a riff for a les paul you need a v for that shit lol
I don't have THAT much gripe with his playing aside from some sloppyness, but his tone is god awful. Cannot stand it. The other guy is much better.
@John19Morley93 i wish they would just stop putting up all that metalcore and emo BULLSHIT, all of that music is such a fucking fashion trend and guitarworld should know better than to endorse it.....
Garbage tone.
