@@djmelodix6868 You probably haven't heard much songs then. Skull beneath the Skin,Mary Jane, Family Tree, Youthanasia, Countdown to extinction (title track) Five Magics, Take no Prisoners, Blood of Heroes, Use the man, Prince of Darkness, Rust in Peace Polaris, The Conjuring, Devil's Island, Chosen Ones, The scorpion, Promises, Sleepwalker, United Abominations are the songs only on the top of my head all very well written songs and have great themes. Dave is a good lyricist if you don't agree it's alright.
@Lily Lily I don’t care much about lyrics. English is my second language and it took some time until I finally understood the lyrics of my favorite bands. In the meantime I was already fully enjoying the rhythms, melodies, harmonies and tonecolors of the music. If you aim for great lyrics with some important message or some provocative catchy words or something beautiful and poetic, you don’t necessarily have to listen to music, you could just read the lyricS, some poem or, if you want some more content, and information input, read a full book with hundreds of pages. You might enjoy some exotic foreign songs, without understanding a single word and still enjoy the music. Music is not language, that is my basic message to you.

20:52 this isn't the bridge to ToS's solo, it's the 2nd-to-last riff in the song, or the 2nd AFTER the solo. Call it the pre-finale riff, if you want. As for the IMDH riff, it's also the 2nd-last riff.
@@aceman775 thats cuz of credibility to who made what. Dave wrote most if not all lyrics and riffs along with the organization of all songs for the whole discography of megadeth
Love this videos man! you broke down 2 of my favorite parts in Megadeth songs, that solo on sweating bullets and the octave tapping in "into the lungs of hell", that last one made me really nostalgic since I haven't listened to that song in many years. Keep up the great work!
Mustaine is a freakin genious making those twisting on those old patterns... NO ONe can do more with less... ---> Train of Consequences riff... Fukin Metal God...
in MY OPINION Dave has always had the drive to be the best he could possibly be, whereas "other guitarists" may have lose that motivation while they sat at the top of the charts
Dave is AMAZING! To get fired from Metallica, being broke, and coming back to form Megadeath, and being almost as ;popular as Metallica! Who else can do that?
The more I listen to metal and music in general, the more I like and appreciate Megadeth over Metallica. Even though I thought that megadeth was trash compared to metallica when I first started listening to metal.
Wow your explanation on the sweating bullets solo also applies to a section in in my darkest hour, which I previously had trouble playing in time because of the 4 notes per string. This made me almost instantly make me play the solo perfectly, at least for that section.
A Megadeth technique video is not complete without a Chris Polands saxophone style phrasing !!! Please do a lesson for that if you get time . I appreciate all the hard work you are doing for us .
Hey Mike. What I appreciate the most about your videos is that you have a really good sense of humor and you let out little things you are thinking making you very real as a person instead of being stuffy or proper. More like hanging with my buddy instead of a teacher. Thanks for making instruction easily enjoyable
"Some people wear Metallica shirts, some people wear Megadeth shirts" Me: Looks in closet and see's both Metallica and Megadeth shirts. I had no idea you had to pick one.
I love this! Awesome video! Megadeth has so many cool techniques in their solos and riffs. Dave Mustaine is a musical genius, and he's always hired outstanding guitar players who contrast well with his raw, dirty-sounding style. I would like to add a few more techniques: legato slides (Hangar 18, Public Enemy No. 1, and Burnt Ice) and two-note-per-string descending runs (Reckoning Day, Family Tree, Dread and the Fugitive Mind, Return to Hangar, and The Emperor). There's also some pretty advanced tapping, as well (right-hand and string-skipped). Again, great job!
I'll also add that Megadeth tends to use a lot of Major 6'ths even while in minor keys. Has a really cool sound. Used in Hangar 18, Darkest Hour, and more.
So you've been studying alot? Well, I think it was worth every minute! Thousands of vids where some jerks telling us how-to-play, but only one who does it right. Congrats!
I just found this series of guitar lesson youtubes. Instant subscribe because I dig your style of teaching. FWIW, I have been a huge megadeth fan and even bought all the books I could find before the internet became a source of guitar info.
Great Video.Playing myself for decades in several metal bands and still could not figure out some Megadeth Riffs perfect.Yeah, it's Megadeth.Haha.This video will help all the beginners if they are willing to learn outside their 'comfort zone'. You name it.What I personaly always loved are those exotic or arabian scales.I am in a Iron Maiden Tribute Band and they often used those things back in the days.Keep on rocking with your great videos.
Awesome video. Been waiting for this for a long time. Know what else I've been waiting for? Glenn Tipton's guitar techniques. Like 4+ years, I've been waiting. Please, make it happen?
A 'greatest techniques' series for bands like Megadeth and Dream Theater is incomplete without having a separate video for each musician in the line-up, lol. Dave's techniques. Friedman / Poland's techniques Menza / Gar's techniques Junior's techniques Fantastic video though.
@~7.40 that "skipping a note" was also used in the My Last Words intro. Although I'm certain a lot of these riffs and things mentioned are used in plenty of Megadeth songs!
I knew Mustaine loves to do some really elaborate tricks'n such, but to this extend? Holy cow. Great video, by the way! May I ask what do you think about breaking down Chuck Schuldiner's techniques?
Excellent video .... being a drummer and trying to learn guitar I am selective with the videos I use and this vid is a keeper for me. Thanks for posting it.
4:09 i agree a 100%. I've been trying to learn the Take No Prisoners intro and i just couldn't manage to understand how to hit the right notes at the right time. It was just messy. But then I tried to just do tremolo picking and just hitting the notes with the left hand as accurately as possible and it became much easier. I still don't get it done right (mostly cause I am still a beginner trying a song a bit too hard for me) but i went from never nailing it to actually managing to do it (i miss maybe most of the other times but st least i got closer to manage it)
All the small details of your plying are fantastic! Your tone, bending, vibrato. Everything Could you do a video on how to improve the more subtle aspects of your technique? If you have something like this already then please let me know. Great work!
With the diminished riff at the beginning, . If you want a sweeping sound, you need to remove each finger after the notes are played. However the forefinger can be left down.
Wow this is an amazing video, I have only recently found this channel.I will get so much out of this from patterns and the tips/tricks shown thanks. This will keep me busy and when I play I forget all life's problems and negativity. (side note I live about 15min from where Dave made "in error" one of the most controversial comments ever... Later inspiring the song Holy Wars)

I like both bands too, but I like Megadeth a little more than Metallica. I will admit that James is a better singer and Metallica is the better live band. Megadeth's playing is better I think. I like the styles from the members of the Peace Sells and Rust Eras in particular. Love Kiko and Dirk too.
@@hmvenom No one can replace Mustaines voice. What's wrong with you? Let James stay in his band. He can never replicate the anger and frustration in Dave's voice.
MAN! I've wanted to learn how to play Bad Omen's intro solo for ages but all the tabs were wrong (they either had way too many notes or too few so I had to mix and match them myself) but this seems pretty accurate. Thanks!
Metallica: the gateway for non metal heads to metal Megadeth: for metal heads who got tired of Metallica or want to try something else (or elitists who hate Metallica because load and reload exist) Slayer: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Anthrax: underrated, for people who love thrash, no matter where you come from

I play Peace Sells and found it exactly how you played. Dave and Nick Menza were the backbones of Megadeth. From Chris Poland to Marty Friedman, it had given many guitarists their due chance but Dave still rules. Just play 3 guitars from 'Into the Lungs of Hell' (which I do once a week at least), and you will find some very different orchestration of cacophony even with so many guitars present. Good work, keep on...I am waiting for more.
Nice job. If anyone needs an easier Megadeth technique to add to the mix, Dave often adds a bass note below the root to his power chords -- for example, a D power chord would have the A on the 6th string included.
Hi. Thank you very much for taking the time to show the great guitarist techniques. Could you make a video explaining the techniques of great solos of glen tipton?.Regards
Hey Mike, love your videos. Very informative and detailed interpretations. If I may, and if you haven't already realized this, I noticed that when you play the Marty Friedman Acoustic Break piece you played in the last segment, you ended on an E minor of sorts, but I'm pretty sure he ends it on E major. Great stuff man, keep it up!
love the kramer!!! as a kramer player myself its nice to see others rock these guitars, they are work horses! espcially the one u have . a SM-1? i believe , i own the vanguard mustaine model and a baretta special which i modded to all hell! hahaha
i know that we keep requesting you to do this and that for us mortals / ingrates / students and I thank you on behalf of all of us. SLAYER may not be your favorite band but I do know that Tom Araya took jazz lessons and theres a method to their riffness which is yet to be deciphered. Can you please do one featuring their riffs and theory behind it. Thanks in advance. Billy.
very very nice one mike. \m/. the into the lungs of hell thing is done by dave with his thumb ;), he was bragging abot that in the 80ts. same thing as in the washington is next solo.
Mustaine is the extremely rare musician that can write riffs, solos, and lyrics at a very high level, as well as sing while playing complicated riffs

Yes he does he created a Genre of Music where Mudtalic plays the same set since 1991
@@cholestroll8937 Thrash, and arguably Technical thrash but that's a niche subgenre. Most technical metal heads play tech death
or his singing. rip countdown and youthinasia have some sick vocals

Just shows how much of a virtuoso Dave Mustaine is, and so are all of the other guitarists that have become members of the band.
Marty's a legend too. I HAVE too followed his solo carrer after megadeth!
Metallica: the gateway for non metal heads to metal
Megadeth: for metal heads who got tired of Metallica or want to try something else (or elitists who hate Metallica because load and reload exist)
Slayer: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Anthrax: underrated, for people who love thrash, no matter where you come from
How about an Iron Maiden technique video next? That'd be a really fun one to do and an interesting one to watch!

I play Peace Sells and found it exactly how you played. Dave and Nick Menza were the backbones of Megadeth. From Chris Poland to Marty Friedman, it had given many guitarists their due chance but Dave still rules. Just play 3 guitars from 'Into the Lungs of Hell' (which I do once a week at least), and you will find some very different orchestration of cacophony even with so many guitars present. Good work, keep on...I am waiting for more.
Great videos and thank you! Have to say that I chuckled when you said "got the use the word "paradox".
I can't say I like more than the other. Both awesome bands and amazing talent
Great channel man!!
Also those major third chords are seemingly Jon Schaffer of Iced Earth's favourite chords. Noticeably prevalent on the first few albums.
This video is outstanding
dude rattlehead and skull beneath the skin in the same video your the best
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing. ]|v|[EGADETH #1 also what pick ups are in the guitar you are using in this video?
Which one?
Sorry, Kamer. I have one like that in Metalic pink but would like to change the pick ups!

Nice job. If anyone needs an easier Megadeth technique to add to the mix, Dave often adds a bass note below the root to his power chords -- for example, a D power chord would have the A on the 6th string included.
Im so glad someone on a professional level does pinch harmonics the same way i do. I always thought it was really beginner of me haha
What's happening at 1:53 of Psychotron... is it all harmonics? How is it played? Thanks!
Should have said Psychotron Demo, second fill (?) after "battle plan running..."
NVM it must be "palm harmonics"!
Hi. Thank you very much for taking the time to show the great guitarist techniques. Could you make a video explaining the techniques of great solos of glen tipton?.Regards
Hey Mike, love your videos. Very informative and detailed interpretations.
If I may, and if you haven't already realized this, I noticed that when you play the Marty Friedman Acoustic Break piece you played in the last segment, you ended on an E minor of sorts, but I'm pretty sure he ends it on E major.
Great stuff man, keep it up!
I never thought to pick Skull Beneath the Skin like that. That makes things so much easier
love the kramer!!! as a kramer player myself its nice to see others rock these guitars, they are work horses! espcially the one u have . a SM-1? i believe , i own the vanguard mustaine model and a baretta special which i modded to all hell! hahaha
i know that we keep requesting you to do this and that for us mortals / ingrates / students and I thank you on behalf of all of us.
SLAYER may not be your favorite band but I do know that Tom Araya took jazz lessons and theres a method to their riffness which is yet to be deciphered.
Can you please do one featuring their riffs and theory behind it.
Thanks in advance.
Billy.
I've been doing the spider tecnique and just now I realised that Dave does it too, damn
fucking love Dave his vocals lyrics song writing in general
6:30 Country mixed with Megadeth is just foreclosure of a dream
Really awesome video, lots of knowledge in one go! This band along with Led Zeppelin are what inspired me to learn guitar
Where is Dave's between-the-leg strechy technique from Washington?
You definitely deserve way more subs
Im one of the lucky guys that like both Metallica and Megadeth.. The West Side Story comment made me laugh.So true. Love Yr Vids Mike. Cheers
Thank you So much, it really helped...
I think it is a major chord at the end of the final clean riff at the end of the video ^^
Cool man, good stories and teaching thx.
Thanks for putting this video together!
Thought I already new how to play megadeth but,"not even close#"
very very nice one mike. \m/. the into the lungs of hell thing is done by dave with his thumb ;), he was bragging abot that in the 80ts. same thing as in the washington is next solo.
