Does this people even listen to what he's saying? He said he wants to give you a little history about his playing and who he is, so stop fucking commenting that he needs to shut up and play because he was clear at the beginning of the video on what he was gonna do first. Thank you. Chris... Such a great person/musician.
Chris came to my band's Megadeth tribute night in Cork, Ireland recently. I literally shat my pants when I saw him, but what's more is that I had to get up on stage and play most of the lead parts that he was gonna be playing the night afterwards haha. Then on top of that, while we were playing, the rest of Megadeth arrived. Talk about pressure!!!
Chris seems like such a nice guy. I met him very briefly in a Megadeth album signing and he was all smiles and looked happy to be there instead of looking like "has" to be there
Lol, that's how I got into music. I was a jock football player in middle school then I started to not get along with those kids. So one Christmas my parents out of random got me a skateboard, fell in love with it. Then I got skate shoes and met some kids that were into punk, played bass, drums, guitar, and the rest is history.
DangerZone unfortunately, you are correct sir. I’ve been clean for a little over 2 years now, been playin instruments for 30 years too. The future used to look so bright back in the day, until dope walked in, and the rest is cut and paste the same old story. Point is I guess, don’t so drugs kids!!
... so nice to see a guitarist that is not full of himself, and did not change doing what he likes ... the greatest thing about Chris is his character, and is what you ideally try to achieve in your career, and many never realize that's more important than being a big hot shot in the music field :) so, with such healthy character it does not matter what you will be doing, it will be always great :)
The things that i like from chris brodrick, he is not just one of the best but humble as well. Thats what influences and passionates me to play guitar.
He truly loves the guitar, you can tell from his desire to master anything associated with it, be it classical/metal/everything in between. There are a lot more people who simply love a single stilted portion of an artistic discipline, rather than the discipline itself, and everything under it. I admire and sympathize with his love of skill.
in my book, Boderick is one of those rare 7-string players who use it right in metal music. down tuning 7th string to low A just to get big chucks out of it is so not my thing.
This is a nice look into Chris's story behind the guitar. What he's gone through is good to know. Sometimes I feel the same way with all the stuff there is to learn so it's good to see that their's a way around that without feeling overwhelmed. I definitely gotta start practicing more, I been slacking.
seems like a pretty well rounded / open minded music lover, that just happens to be a crazy talented guitar player. If you read this Chris, Cheers to you!
My favorite thing in metal, is exactly what chris is demonstrating. the fact that metal players can and usually do appreciate EVERYTHING. there are very few players in country or jazz that can appreciate or even love metal players.
I am loving listening to this guy. He seems grounded and well educated, yet still capable of thinking outside the box and evolving his playing. A healthy balance between theory and creativity.
I took classical lessons for 2 years in high school, once a week, but each time I got done with a lesson I'd go home and try to play Whiplash with just my pointer finger.
Man now this is amazing!! He is such a great guitar player & so humble & open minded! Hes conversation with me was even more private & he made me keep on going I will always thank Chris Broderick!!!
I really respect chris Brodericks disciplined approach to learning and playing guitar. His desire for perfection and proficiency has led him to develop into a guitarist who can play the most technical of guitar pieces in peak form. I really admire the level of proficiency. I can't think of to many guitarist who can touch him based solely on technical ability.
This guy is sick. I like how he is a professional in a big metal band, can play like a mad man and yet he is still eager to learn and practice. I find that rare among some other guitar players. Its official. Im a Chris Broderick fan !
I saw Chris in Orlando 2009 with Megadeth! Extremely awesome; he's a true musician (and he drinks protein shakes! Yes I know...irrelevant, but it's cool, coming from a bodybuilder/musician...rare mix). I'll be checking them out again Oct 2010 in Orlando at the Hard Rock!
I feel like chris broderick wasnt really utilized properly in megadeth. i mean, endgame his guitar playing was completely phenomenal and i was hoping the song style from end game would continue. it didnt and even though i loved 13 and even liked super collider, he wasnt really putting all of his style into those songs.
He quit because him and mustain butted heads over style and chris left/fired but in interveiws dave hints at drug use which is a big NO in megadeth because dave is a recovering addict who has been sober for a long time
wow, i know how he felt about classical guitar in college. I'm a classical guitar major as well and man, I did not have a library of classical guitar music or the technical aspect or classical guitar either. It was tough! but he's right, it's so cool and a great style to learn and apply in different elements of music.
I am in love with this white Jackson. I was in the front row at Megadeths first and last show in Reno both times I knew I loved this guitar! Chris is an awesome guitarist to say the least . Would love to see it in a Mediterranean blue gloss with platinum hardware,maybe some abalone inlayed rose design on the fret board. Mahogany or Ebony an absolute must. One of the most beautifully cut instruments I've seen.
You applied your classical guitar So well in Megadeth, We miss you. Kiko is doing a great job in your place. Keep it up, some of us still love your music, classical too!
Jesus christ I can't stop staring at that guitar its sooooo good looking on him

It's a nice coincidence that Malmsteen's rise to fame was at the same period that he was into classical music to kind of to be able to interconnect his both passions. Apart from that, I can relate to all Broderick's talking about and I'm happy that he replaced Drover in Megadeth. He loves music and guitars against all those genre-lovers and I appreciate that a lot!
I met chris broderick last weekend at a megadeth meet n greet, he is honestly one of the kindest people i've ever met. In my opinion and I'm sure most people (at least guitar players) will agree that he is the best guitarist in the big 4
Awesome that he mentions Scott Mishoe, underrated as hell, just as Chris is. I think it's funny to see interwiews with people that are of the same mindset as yourself, because you recognise everything.
@fasthumbs he actually designed that pick himself. It's a really pointy pick with a thumb ring thing, so that he can play eight finger arpeggios without having to put away his pick somehow.
Never paid much attention to this guy, my friend Steve was his tech for a year w megadeth , didn't think much of it. That has changed after seeing this video and hearing his playing and story super cool! I may even investigate more classical guitar.
It's amazing to me how similar Chris is to me with guitar stuff (of course compared to my skill level he's larger than life, but the approach is the same)
@WardyandRyancane Thanks! I was actually looking into that model, finally found a dealer thats not a million miles away. They are hard to find in person.
damn, he really deserves to be where he is today, my dream is to become a metal artist someday aswell (guitar or possibly vocal) but the amount of work he put into his playing is nowhere near the amount of work Ive put in sofar :( I think Ill keep playing as a hobby, form another (better) band when Im off to college next year and see what happens from there :)
love your playing chris.I fell out of the scene for a short while but im back and recording a new album.my new songs LIZZARDS and KICK ASS are now available on cd baby, amazon,E music etc.keep shredding.take care.
Chris seems like a real humbled guy. Seems like a lot of the newer guitar heroes, like Chris, Jeff Loomis and Gus G, all give props to Yngwie. Also liked the props given to Greg Howe!
@guitarslasher3100 I understand that, but I'm planning to use it to play mainly on the electric and to shift between the pick-playing and the classical style of plucking, because now I'd either drop the pick and pluck or hold the pick between my lips and pluck. Using a thumb-pick like a regular pick may eliminate that..............
@qwertythecrazyllama Exactly mann. I've had the opportunity to talk to Chris a few times on his forum. And it's really amazing too see how He,touring with one of the biggest bands in Metal music, is still able to keep in touch with His fans and tries to reply almost everybody who writes to him. I really respect Chris and Jeff for the kinda people they are and the level of skill they have. Mad respect for these two guys!
@Erotomaniac92 It's something that he created himself, its like a ring that u put on ur finger and then put ur pick in it. He says he might put them in production, but i dont know.
"I was thinking about dropping high school"
"I told my mom and she begged me to stay"
"So I stayed for like another week"
LOOL.
Does this people even listen to what he's saying? He said he wants to give you a little history about his playing and who he is, so stop fucking commenting that he needs to shut up and play because he was clear at the beginning of the video on what he was gonna do first.

its rare to find a metal musician respecting other musical genre musicians.. gotta respect this guy

The funny thing is, is he quit. lol
Haha, yeah. Him and drover.
Here's where everyone screams "bring back Friedman and menza !".
I hope they get some great musicians for the next album.
Dave Bostock Someone i work with told me Marty and Nick were gonna do the 25th anniversary RIP tour.
I'd love to see it they do !
Maybe bring Kerry in too, they dont seem to be doing much since Hanneman died.
Extremely talented and grounded guitar player...much respect.
dude, pick scraping will always be awesome
Lol, that's how I got into music. I was a jock football player in middle school then I started to not get along with those kids.

+WashingtonMonster86 Oh yeah, and I started smoking pot.
Real musicians shoot junk
WashingtonMonster86 hell yeah nothing better then skating and metal
Awesome

I would like to take some of his lessons.
CHRIS BRODERICK YOU ARE AMAZING!!
Thank you so much for your amazing lessons!
I must say this is the best video interview i've seen on guitar world in a long time. What a great guy.
Mr. Chris Shredderick

The only guitar player in megadeth who played 99.9 % as on the CDs.
Agree megadeth Will never get a good guitarrist like This man 👨
@@juniorgaming7941 Broderick will be thier best guitarist they ever had
@@iqm4574 Friedman pioneered the shred movement tho
@@sabotageret6562 also has the most memorable and melodic solos imo.
Yall can't be serious man. Kiko beats every megadeth guitarist in every category and it's not even close😂😂
The dude is so chilled and down to earth but such an amazing guitarist, this is unreal
I love the fact he mentioned the social change when you start playing
He truly loves the guitar, you can tell from his desire to master anything associated with it, be it classical/metal/everything in between. There are a lot more people who simply love a single stilted portion of an artistic discipline, rather than the discipline itself, and everything under it.

A. Nilla-or That's why I bought an 8 string. I just bring a 7 and an 8 when playing gigs and switch em on stage. Prob solved.

This is one of the best interviews I've seen in a while. Chris Broderick seems like such a cool guy, and he's better than god could be at guitar.
I love his attitude towards music. People need to listen to what he's saying. Words from the wise.
The humility and wisdom on this guy...what a great guitar player.. respect.
Chris: the funny thing is....mustaine: -_- you're fired
Man now this is amazing!! He is such a great guitar player & so humble & open minded!

agree...Super collider was kinda a mega let down...
@@templeofflesh7310 Broderick left to pursue his own style of music, he was tired of being a hired gun.
the range of music this man can play is mind blowing
wow, i know how he felt about classical guitar in college. I'm a classical guitar major as well and man, I did not have a library of classical guitar music or the technical aspect or classical guitar either. It was tough! but he's right, it's so cool and a great style to learn and apply in different elements of music.
*holding his guitar like it was his most valuable, loved item ever*
When you get old, get a mandolin and play some bluegrass. Metal chops sound awesome on the mandolin.
So much respect gained from this. Mentioning Mishoe and Hiland. Both are geniuses. Broderick rules at what he does.
I am in love with this white Jackson. I was in the front row at Megadeths first and last show in Reno both times I knew I loved this guitar! Chris is an awesome guitarist to say the least . Would love to see it in a Mediterranean blue gloss with platinum hardware,maybe some abalone inlayed rose design on the fret board. Mahogany or Ebony an absolute must.

I believe this is an Ibanez, the head stock looks Ibanez
"Hi Im Chris Broderick and im about to crush your hopes and dreams in all these videos. So watch and feel bad about yourself."
Dude that was totally awesome. The back story was great.
Song at 6:45?
You applied your classical guitar So well in Megadeth, We miss you. Kiko is doing a great job in your place. Keep it up, some of us still love your music, classical too!

Wow! I love his bio. What an inspiring story... Love ya Chris!!
Awesome that he mentions Scott Mishoe, underrated as hell, just as Chris is.
I think it's funny to see interwiews with people that are of the same mindset as yourself, because you recognise everything.
Really good video. Love hearing about people's passion for music
did anyone else picture him showing up to college with that sears guitar he was talking about?
+Johnathan Matias I thought the same thing
Lmfao
When the hell is Chris gonna release solo stuff?
yeeea Paco de Lucia is awesome!!!
Hey no vayas a decir que la guitarra también es plana
The guy was a wizard
I can relate to this ... so many great players from so many different styles, I want to learn it all but were do you begin!
He was an Ibanez artist before he went to Jackson. It's a LA Custom shop RGA 7 string with the Zero Resistance bridge.
@TDBmusic1 yeah I´ve noticed that aswell. tho he played his ibanez 7 string at the beginning of his Megadeth carreer
What a great dude! And, to boot, he got the gig as Megadeth lead. A life of total satisfaction!
what an amazing musician, totally down to earth and very interesting to listen to.
I Love this Guy. 😊🎸⭐
Interesting . He inspires me .
@fasthumbs he actually designed that pick himself. It's a really pointy pick with a thumb ring thing, so that he can play eight finger arpeggios without having to put away his pick somehow.
It's an Ibanez LACS, based on the RGA model with an reverse headstock and D-Activator pickups
A Ibanez Prestige custom he used to use. I don't know if he still has it now, but he now plays Jackson guitars.
Never paid much attention to this guy, my friend Steve was his tech for a year w megadeth , didn't think much of it. That has changed after seeing this video and hearing his playing and story super cool! I may even investigate more classical guitar.
Broderick is so technically talented but I still think Friedman has the feel. Rock on Chris
ABSOLUTELY!
+David Mardakhayev Friedman totally has the feels, I think Broderick was a bad fit for megadeth.
It's amazing to me how similar Chris is to me with guitar stuff (of course compared to my skill level he's larger than life, but the approach is the same)
Aurora, jean jackets, hacky sack, Hinkley, Gateway, freaks n jocks.....I was there.
What kind of pick is that? Like a thumb pick and regular plec combined?
Where Can I Find An Ibanez Chris Broderick Signature RGA 7-String With Reversed Headstock?
We NEED more Chris Broderick
@WardyandRyancane Thanks! I was actually looking into that model, finally found a dealer thats not a million miles away. They are hard to find in person.
This man is a legend... Greetings from Slovakia ;)
damn, he really deserves to be where he is today, my dream is to become a metal artist someday aswell (guitar or possibly vocal) but the amount of work he put into his playing is nowhere near the amount of work Ive put in sofar :( I think Ill keep playing as a hobby, form another (better) band when Im off to college next year and see what happens from there :)
Where Can I Get That Ibanez LACS Chris Broderick Signature 7 String?
that guitar slap sounds sooooo awesome! 0 dislikes! thats the way I like it!
at 6:04 he is playing under the influence by rusty cooley
6:04 "No Escape - Seremedy" Guitar solo, haha is an excercise!!
that's J.s bach thing I think, every neoclassical band/artist had played it at least once in one of thier songs ..I heard many many playing this
@almudjk kinda but its really just a pick holder so he can quickly invert to tapping and back
He seems really chilled out and modest, proper role model
i got interested in the pick hes using, trust me, i've never seen one of those before :D
love your playing chris.I fell out of the scene for a short while but im back and recording a new album.my new songs LIZZARDS and KICK ASS are now available on cd baby, amazon,E music etc.keep shredding.take care.

@Agzastrgath It's "I see the light tonight" by Y Malmsteen.
I appreciate him now even more... Dude, he is versatile and awesome!
so awesome! Love this video!!!!!
is there a extra low string or high string?
Is there a part 2 to this video?
like nathan explosion - his high school talents were football and frog dissection lol
Wow Chris is amazing if you are a guitar player, these r words to live by.
@qwertythecrazyllama Exactly mann. I've had the opportunity to talk to Chris a few times on his forum.

So inspiring when guitar players talk about their history
One of the best guitar players out there today.
@TechDeath67 can you tell me what kind of pick that is it would help me tap so much
@Erotomaniac92 It's something that he created himself, its like a ring that u put on ur finger and then put ur pick in it. He says he might put them in production, but i dont know.
Great stuff.
Which riff is on 6:47 ?
@zwingler its his old ibanez custom shop but he doesn't use them anymore
I really enjoyed the whole video and also learned alot :D
