    Hey guys! It’s your good buddy Uncle Ben Eller here with a brand new new episode of Weekend Wankshop! On episode 268, we are going to do a full breakdown on the guitar solo from the Marty Friedman Megadeth classic Poison Was the Cure from the Rust in Peace album!
    In this lesson, we are gonna take a deep dive look in Marty’s phrasing, vibrato, bends, arpeggios, and signature style. We will talk technique, picking hand tricks, and more as we learn this classic shred fest!
    Playing my Suhr Modern Satin into the Fractal Axe FX 3!
    What other classic Deth solos do you want to learn next? Let me know in the comments!

    Love these sorts of series uncle ben where u instead of like other guitar teachers teaching just merely notes involved in,,you actually break down the solos and give briefing about the guitar theory involved so that we guitar players at intermediate level can actually relate our theory to the practical use and learn a lot.
    Once again thank u uncle ben and I m hoping for more of these sorts of "breakdown of solos" in the coming days so that we can up our level of guitar playing in these quarantine days.

    Friedman is such a unique player in the metal world. He really carved out his own niche style. Some awesome guitar players have played his solos (Broderick & Kiko), and even though they're playing the correct notes, they're always missing just a little something.
