What Bradley has done here is not only create two absolutely superb mashups, he's also gifted everyone with a perfect Tornado of Souls tutorial video with an accessible tempo. Genius.
Marty Friedman once mentioned Hotel California by name in an interview regarding how he writes his solos. He said that he uses a song as a backing track and tries to solo over the chords. Just so happens that both ToS and Hotel California are in B minor
I may just be Mandela-ing myself here but I'm confident I remember seeing a comment somewhere on a video before the one we're commenting on here was uploaded that elaborated on this connection, something about how Marty's intent when looking for these backing tracks was to see how far he could stretch it in order to fit the song he was actually writing for, and that it all hinged on staying in the same key. The point of this comment was essentially that it's no coincidence at all, just Marty never stated "I used X for X" implicitly as such. I've since scanned across different uploads of Tornado of Souls trying to find that comment to no avail, but I'm certain it existed at some point because it finished with a phrase like "I feel like I've found a 20 year old Easter egg" or similar phrasing to that effect and it was the first time I remember hearing of the connection.
@@HS_Gomikubi that's intriguing. 😄 i couldn't find anything supporting these claims yet. i found a 2023 interview for ultimate guitar, about this specific track, and he ditinctly said he did it the way he always does, by "winging it". "After further investigation, including searching through RUclips interviews and discussions, there still appears to be no specific reference or evidence that Marty Friedman practices, improvises, or writes solos over Eagles records. While I found interviews where Friedman talks about his approach to playing guitar and his influences, none of these specifically mention practicing over Eagles tracks. It's possible that this detail about Friedman might be a less-known fact or a misconception, as it doesn't appear in mainstream interviews or discussions available online. If you're still curious, you might want to explore deeper into fan forums, more obscure interviews, or his lesser-known talks where he might have mentioned something about the Eagles. For now, though, the available online sources, including RUclips interviews, don't confirm this particular claim."
... well, he wrote this on twitter in 2016: "When I lived in Phoenix, the desert drives to LA or Vegas were never complete without an Eagles album. Thank you Glenn Frey. RIP" Edit: This would be around the time he played in Megadeth
@@VicSellsPeace there’s definitely some accidentals in there, maybe too many for some. I thought it sounded fine. Would probably sound pretty sick live.
What a masterpiece, the urge of NOT to hear the right solo over the track is literally impossible, and Bradley plays that with amazing choice of notes and dynamics!!! Hats off my man!!
read the description, he even admits its very unoriginal it was actually some random nobody kid that did it first on youtube and he nails it too, the reason they work together so well is by design, from Marty not Bradley xD
Bro the way you went in on that first bend of the Tornado of Souls solo over Hotel California was fire! 🔥 It took me back to the first time I listened to Marty’s magic! Listening to it being played over a different song feels like re living that experience again. Good shit! 👏🏽
The first part was cool, and then you blew us away with tornado over hotel!!! It fits surprisingly well! You should do tons more solo swaps like this!!
@@bigman6977 I was not aware of that! Lo. Then again never liked the Eagles or the song tbh so I never dug into it or any trivia surrounding it. Maybe now I will?
@@christophernoble76 I knew they were in the same key just from listening to them. I thought maybe he really did sittin around trying to find inspiration for his solo. Damn trolls 😳😂... Thanks for settin the record straight my guy!!!
Dam.........thats a dam good way to practice tornado of souls solo. Its slow enough to really get it down and it gives the perfect vibe to really nail the feel that Marty uses. Dude.......thanks for this gem
I'd love a cover band idea that has the same concept. Putting other songs solos over classics. That'd be super interesting. Legit great video idea and execution.
The hotel solo over tornado was good, but Marty’s over hotel was incredible! Obviously, it’s Marty, so his solo’s gonna come out on top over just about anyone in history, but they’re both still good
This is legitimately brilliant work. I don't know what else to say except there's at least one veteran Bass player in awe of your skill, it's beyond the guitar alone.
I never realized how similar the two are! What a find, such great execution. It's nice to see more of your talented instead of mostly the funnies. Keep on at it, mate!
Hearing them side by side like that you can hear the influence the Hotel California solo had on guitarists, Tornado of Souls definitely has some of that DNA. Love how well it fits.
Hotel California and kinda fits with Tornado of Souls, not only because both are in B but because it just sounds so unique and cool and bluesy type shit. Sounds cool asf
I can’t believe how well these cross over…I can’t decided which one is better. Very well done with the Marty vibrato and bendy shazamsma you absolute cream puff.
There are so many good, fantastic guitar players out there. But Bradley is absolutelly phenomenal. I don't mean only the technical aspect, which IS great, but his musicianship is amazing. Inspiring!!!!
what the fk was so fck good that second part with Tornado solo under Hotel back, wow! So much feeling - can tell by your face. So in love with that massive jam and yours techinq, thanks for a great performing!
I think Bradley likes the Tornado solo.
Can't blame him though
It's a masterpiece
@@ryanmichael6720 😂😂😂
@@BradleyHallGuitar what if Hammet would record it?
Who doesn’t? It’s arguably the best guitar solo of all time.
What Bradley has done here is not only create two absolutely superb mashups, he's also gifted everyone with a perfect Tornado of Souls tutorial video with an accessible tempo. Genius.
Lmao truth
It’s not 1-1. Some of the notes were changed to fit the slightly different chord progression.
Yep xD
he’s not playing it the same so if you use this to learn the solo you won’t be learning it accurately
Define "accessible" hahaah
Marty Friedman once mentioned Hotel California by name in an interview regarding how he writes his solos. He said that he uses a song as a backing track and tries to solo over the chords. Just so happens that both ToS and Hotel California are in B minor
that might explain it

I didn’t expect Hotel California to sound so good as a metal song. It works so well.
Marty's solo over Hotel is incredible. Just makes me love his choice of notes even more if that's possible.
That's why I love him and the stuff he did with JB in cacophony. Technically amazing yes, but for me it sounded so different and interesting.
@@AJPMUSIC_OFFICIAL He avoided the obvious and surprised the ear much like JS BACH. Surprise is the essence of music. Without it music is dead.
Gotta give Bradley some credit here as well, he did transpose a few of the licks to better fit the underlying chord.
@@WillEnj0y Did he even bother with the Hotel California solo? It sounded very off key
@@VicSellsPeace there’s definitely some accidentals in there, maybe too many for some. I thought it sounded fine. Would probably sound pretty sick live.
More of this please!
Oh hey, I used to love watching you as a child!
never thought id see you in this comments section
The legend himself!
"Unexpected surprise but a welcome one"
Holy shit its Micheal Hickox! I've been watching you for years!
Why is Michael Hickox here?!? This dude made my childhood.
People at my church: “man we loved your guitar playing”
Me: being stoned playing David Gilmour solos during the worship songs
Gilmour*
@@quatsch95 a year later and youre the only person that caught that misspelling 😂
Ill change it rn
I'm not kidding Gilmour's solo in churche's music would fit so badly that they will even be impressed although they don't know him
the extra marty spice on the hotel california solo + the extra cleanliness on the tornado solo we're just brilliant
RUclips copyright's getting strong on this one
Especially on HC, it's ridiculous tbh
Perfect comment
Wonder if switching the solos beat the copyright thing .. probably not
@The Rue Morgue yea makes sense goku .. damn copyright mafia lol
Strongly confused lol
These two solos actually work so well with both songs. I would've never even thought of it. You're a damn legend, Bradley.
I think it’s cause they’re both in B minor
I agree.
The minor pentatonic scale is cool that way
This is amazing. He still manages to keep the original feel of each solo even though the notes are different.
What a masterpiece, the urge of NOT to hear the right solo over the track is literally impossible, and Bradley plays that with amazing choice of notes and dynamics!!! Hats off my man!!
I am not exaggerating when I say this, but this is the greatest thing I have seen in quite a while. Cheers Bradley 🤟🏼
So do I !
I can honestly agree. I can't stop replaying this!
That's exactly the same feeling i got after seen this!! It's the kind of video that makes youtube such a magic place.
This is why Marty Friedman is one of my favorite guitarists. Dude can shred, but his musicality and note choices are impeccable
He's up there with Andy LaRoque in that area
Hotel California with the Tornado solo sounds best out of the two.
Dude thats a brilliant concept! Keep doing more of that.
Love infusing the Marty bends into the hotel solo. It's that extra little spice that makes these all so entertaining
It's scary how fitting this solo is.
I'm now convinced that Marty wrote his solo whilst listening to Hotel California, because it almost fits HC better than Tornado of Souls
This worked so well, really reminded me of Marty's slower solo stuff, his note choices are so good. So recognisable as Marty.
Brilliant work finding the ground that makes both of these solos work in completely unique and different contexts! You rock Bradley!
@@BradleyHallGuitar Always man!
read the description, he even admits its very unoriginal it was actually some random nobody kid that did it first on youtube and he nails it too, the reason they work together so well is by design, from Marty not Bradley xD
Wow, works super well. Great job! The Tornado of Souls solo became so chill and melodic.
That's why even aggressive genres like Death Metal have their melodic subgenres. The melody is always there.
Bro the way you went in on that first bend of the Tornado of Souls solo over Hotel California was fire! 🔥 It took me back to the first time I listened to Marty’s magic!
Listening to it being played over a different song feels like re living that experience again. Good shit! 👏🏽
That transformation @1:38 is insaly well composed and executed. Guthrie vibes!
It freakin sings
The first part was cool, and then you blew us away with tornado over hotel!!! It fits surprisingly well! You should do tons more solo swaps like this!!
Why did these mesh so damn well... The most metal Joe Walsh has ever felt gauranteed!!!
because marty made the tornado of souls solo by playing along to hotel california and improvising
@@bigman6977 I was not aware of that! Lo. Then again never liked the Eagles or the song tbh so I never dug into it or any trivia surrounding it. Maybe now I will?
@@MainPrism nah he's capping lol, it's because they're in the same key and the progressions are very diatonic

@@MainPrism no problem bro lol, both in Bmin and then adjusted the tempo.
idk why people like spreading false news 😂😂
Two of the best guitar solos ever. In my opinion.
Gotta love how creative Bradley Hall is with his megadeth content-it just keeps on giving. So crazy how perfectly it works.
Not just Megadeth! The dude is brilliant!
It's insane how well it fits, if you had never heard either of these songs you would suspect nothing!
I think it's because both songs are written in the key of B Minor. That's why.
Tornado of Souls base with Hotel California solo is true Magic
I'm impressed. I never thought of how well the solos blended into differing arrangements. That's actually pretty fucking sick.
Marty’s solo sounded great with Hotel California. I’d love to see more of these.
The Hotel California solo also fits perfectly over comfortably numb.
My guitarist pointed this out years ago and it was so cool.
The solo for Hotel California could be played in any style and it’s still amazing!!
Dam.........thats a dam good way to practice tornado of souls solo.
Its slow enough to really get it down and it gives the perfect vibe to really nail the feel that Marty uses.
Dude.......thanks for this gem
I'd love a cover band idea that has the same concept. Putting other songs solos over classics. That'd be super interesting. Legit great video idea and execution.
Rock Sugar?
this is crazy genius lol the music almost tricks you in to thinking you are hearing the other solo, both work great lol.
The hotel solo over tornado was good, but Marty’s over hotel was incredible! Obviously, it’s Marty, so his solo’s gonna come out on top over just about anyone in history, but they’re both still good
This was so well done that I thought you were just playing Tornado of Souls in the beginning.
It's a little bit too scary how this works.
Really appreciate that you changed the notes that would’ve clashed. Shows a deep understanding of what you’re doing.
Wow! They both fit so beautifully together. Nicely done, mate!
your technique is so clean, incredible
someone: moves a chair 100 yrs ago

Two of my top five favorite solos switched and it sounds amazing. Best thing I saw in a while.
Bruh literally crazy how well Tornado Of Souls solo worked with Hotel California, literally all the parts are in perfect order for the song
0:40 that's such a cool sound
GENIUS!!! both solos sound great, especially tornado of souls
This is legitimately brilliant work. I don't know what else to say except there's at least one veteran Bass player in awe of your skill, it's beyond the guitar alone.
I would've never though of this. Now I'll hear this every time I hear one of these.

Hotel California with Tornado of Souls solo is the best thing I've seen in a long while. Very well done
Tornado of Souls has one of the best guitar solos ever in my opinion, it's also crazy how well it works with Hotel California
Best solo in rock and best solo in metal
I prefer to put Painkiller in the best solo in Metal, not arguing, just my opinion, love them both
the solo for Hotel California is just a masterpiece and never ages
So Ride The Lightning and November Rain (outro)?
Tornados' fits hotel perfectly, but not the other way around
yo the tornado of soul solo fits rlly well with hotel california...surprisingly wall
Absolutely mind-blowing, this is the crossover I never knew I needed, thanks mate
Great work Bradley. Matching Marty's solo on HC is insane..
Master. I wish you started with the hotel California song playing in the background first, I almost clicked off… but that was pure genius man.
Marty Friedman...what a tastefull player...
I always wondered what that would sound like lol. Well done sir. ps your technique is smooth it's ridiculous, such an amazing musician
The tornado of souls solo fits insanely well over hotel California
Dude this is an ingenious idea, please make more!
This is undoubtedly one of the best pieces of guitar playing you have ever done.
Bravo sir.
This was ridiculous and absolutely delightful. I want more of this.
This just took first place for my internet viewing today. Awesome.
Hotel California got itself an upgrade!😂
Hotel California with Tornado of souls solo at 1.5x sound eerily similar to the actual Tornado of Souls solo
No shit
No shit it's the same exact solo slowed down
I've seen many mashups on RUclips but this one is definitely top tier, great job !
This is great, been playing years and never thought of doing this🤣. gonna have a go at this tonight!
Extremely creative and awesome!!
Literally can't believe how interchangeable these two solos are. Where the fuck did you get the inspiration to do this? Genius!
Marty said in an interview that he created the solo while playing on top of Hotel California.
@@DanGmz awesome!
@@Thinchap 👍👍
ESTO ES LO MEJOR QUE HE VISTO NUNCA DE GUITARRA EN RUclips
Dang yo. We need more of this... I bet A7X solos would sound good in other arrangements.
Tornado of California.
This is what I call "Thinking out of the Box " -brilliant
Feels so weird hearing tornado of souls played so slow, my brain had to readjust for a second
Now that’s pretty cool.
How on earth did you realise that you could mash up those two songs??
Don Henley is coming for you
Just perfect, we want more
never get tired of watching this, just amazing
I would love to know how you came up with this cross over, it works too well to make sense lmao
He likely just looked at the key signatures for both songs and found some commonality in the scales their solos used.
They're both in B minor bro it's not that deep
A couple of people had done it before (as mentioned in the description):
ruclips.net/video/17vjjCTUcgA/видео.html
Tornado of California?
or hotel of souls
Hotel of Souls?
This is genius!!! You swapped the best solos of their kind, and these are really different kinds! 😅
Bro this is unreasonably beautiful on each one
That's really crazy cool stuff, dude! Ingenious!
This fucks with my brain so much it makes complete music theory sense! AMAZING!!
Tornado's solo on Hotel California sounds so great
This just showed up in my feed today and I absolutely love it!
This is the best thing I've heard since....EVER. awesome job man.
