Edit: 1st Solo Fix! Be sure to watch this new video for a correction to the positioning of Chris Poland's first solo. ua-cam.com/video/HwCmNFsai6c/v-deo.htmlsi=9OXX-a9YfSqp102r I've recently found live footage that shows my fingering for the first solo is wrong. I will be fixing that portion and reuploading. This is a favorite Megadeth track of mine and it's full of killer riffs and rippin' solos! It should keep you busy for a while. Let me know what other Megadeth songs you'd like to see. Don't forget to like and subscribe: ua-cam.com/users/timholman You're all awesome my friends!
This is why I love your channel, I can always count that I learned the song well because you care about the details like me. Where I first saw the video I did notice that the Fingering was wrong, but don't worry this happens to pretty much every channel I've seen that tries to cover chris Poland, even people that claim that they are playing accurately. He has an insane clean legato and reach, most people don't assume he is making these insane Stretches while pulling off, so they tab it as using two strings. Once you figure out his playing you can see that he is using mostly patterns. I've been learning the bad omen intro solo for weeks now and I finally got it 100% right, both fingering and notes,using the isolated lead track and live footage as reference. Do you know when you will be reuploading the solo? I look forward to seeing the solo lesson! Btw, Thanks a lot for all your well explained video lessons, you are a Beast player too!
There is awesome rhythm and solo work in this tune! What a great break down Tim! You are a great player and teacher my brother! Your attention to detail does not go unnoticed! Great job Tim👍
awesome dude. More stuff off this album would be greatly appreciated. The solos can be a massive pain to learn. I can figure out the rhythm but some of the solos are “strange” to grasp
Thanks! I hear you man. Poland was and is really influenced by jazz and I think that it really comes out in his solos. They're not the typical minor pentatonic or three note per string runs. He's really creative and knows how to construct unexpected leads. They can be tough to figure out for sure.
Megadeth is my favorite band and you did an amazing job on this lesson! I'm so glad to see more megadeth lessons from you in the near future. If I may suggest, could you possibly do some songs that dont get as much attention as the standard tracks. Maybe some Good Mourning/Black Friday, Last Rites, Devils Island, Ahes In your mouth, Conjuring, Skull Beneath the Skin, Chosen ones etc. :) So many great songs to choose from, I cant wait to see what you have in store.
Hey Tim, @timholman Any chance you can do a lesson for one of Megadeth's best songs, In My Darkest Hour? I'm trying to learn that one but could use your expertise. :) Thanks!
Awesome man. Hope your channel blows up, because you deserve it. No one puts so much effort in their lessons than you and i'm really glad you did this one. Usually i figure stuff out by ear and it goes pretty well, but I just can't with Poland haha.
It's so weird trying to learn these fills and solos....because when they're being played slowly it just sounds like a bunch of weird random notes....even when you speed it up a little, it sounds odd. But when you REALLY speed it up then it sounds good and correct it's weird to me how it's like that. And with some parts I just cannot get the smoothness, precision but mainly the speed down to save my life. Like for ex.. with Wake Up Dead i can play Mustaine's ending main solo....when it's that descending run that starts at low E string 12th fret I can get the speed down for that but the part right after that section where he does a bunch of Hammer ons really fast....for some reason I cant play it fast so it ends up sounding dumb and I dont know what I'm doing wrong

Great lesson as always tim. so i'm just going to assume your posting schedule is to wait until I ask myself "hey where's tim?" and post the next day. That's what happens. LOL
Me encantó!!! A lot of notes i don't even heard The studio/lives diferences...wow You get a new subscriptor 😊 Saludos desde Argentina Can you do good mourning/black friday ?? 😅
What size strings do you recommend. Which size and type do you personally use ? I have been using 11's. As an old guy I'm thinking of switching to 10's. Man does this song bring back memories of misspent youth😇 Saw Em play at Warfield on their killing is my business tour with Metallica & Exodus all opening the show for Metal Church. Haven't liked peach schnapps since. I feel for the kids who slipped in the pit after that schnapps decided to make a quick exit from my 14 year old belly 🤢
Thank you! Yeah, Megadeth were able to cram so many riffs and ideas into their songs and still keep them cohesive. Amazingly creative stuff actually. Cheers man! 🍻
Can you please tell me how many notes per beat are in this part of the solo (46:11)? I feel like it's 6 note groupings when I count but 6 notes per beat at around 145 bpm feels crazy fast, no? I can get that lick up to speed just by feel but when I try to actively play 6 notes per beat at 145 bpm with the metronome, I feel like it's much faster than the actual solo and I can barely do it. Am I trippin' or is there something I don't understand?
Yeah, that lick really is a feel thing. It's a 6 note repeating pattern but it doesn't have a strict timing. It's not six notes a beat. You're right that that would be very fast. Some beats have four and some have five but don't worry too much about that. You're doing it right if you can feel it.
@@TimHolman Thanks a lot for the clarification. I found that sticking to the notes he accents and syncing them up with the drum beat is the best way to make it feel right. For me, trying to actively figure out the down beats where you’ve got both 4 note and 5 note groupings with a repeating phrase of 6 notes was hectic; so I thought I was doing something wrong when playing it fast even though it sounds good.
@@TimHolman thank you for taking the time to make all these awesome lessons and taking our suggestions in to consideration. Keep up the awesome work 🤘🍻
You deserve so many more views and subscribers, I hope your channel takes off. I appreciate the detail you put into your videos, especially incorporating the music theory into your lessons. For self-taught people like myself, it helps me understand WHY a particular lick, phrase, or riff works, and gives a glimpse into how they were created. Ever consider a lesson on Psychotron off of Countdown to Extinction or Skin Of My Teeth?
Thanks a lot! I appreciate your viewership. Yes, I have considered those songs. In fact, I'll be doing a lot of Megadeth. I kind of plan on going through most of their earlier catalogue. Thanks for the suggestions. Always good to know what songs are in demand. 🍻🤘
@@TimHolman Awesome, looking forward to it! Megadeth is one of my favorites, and they have so many great songs to choose from. I've got most of Peace Sells down, but have been applying your 3 I's method to a couple other songs and Chris Poland's first solo in this song; I can't seem to get it to sound right.
Yeah, that first lead is one of the trickiest licks in the track. Applying the 3 I's will definitely help. Do you have it arranged as all 16th notes? It's very fast and phenomenally well played on the recording.
@@TimHolman The timing probably is my issue. This should be played as 16th notes? The first half of it I can get it to sound correct, but I noticed the one area I was playing as triplets is a group of 3 then 5. The descending run I was playing as triplets (starting with the 2 groups of 14/13/12 on the G string) but now notice that the first 13th fret note starts that group. Honestly, the solo flies by so fast, it is hard to nail down.
@@ordinaryavgguy The lick isn't 16th notes but if I needed to practice it I would play it as 16th notes. Play it slowly and accurately a few hundred times and then just play it as fast possible to sound like the album. Lol!
You are saving my ass right now. I have to play this in a band tomorrow and I forgot so much of it. Gotta love playing, listening, and watching a video about the same song for 3 hours
Just realized how that second interlude slowed down was massive inspiration for Ghost's Call Me Little Sunshine. I like that you have tabs and show details about these riffs.
Thanks for watching! I'm not too familiar with the Ghost song. I'll have to give it a listen. I'm glad the tabs and extra detail is helpful. I try to include as much as I can. 🍻🎸

Could you please maybe redo that solo with the correct fingering in a short?
@blitzkrique Yes, this is on my urgent list. I'm going to get a Master of Puppets video out and then I'll redo this solo.
Good job 👍
Yes!!!
Black friday from peace sells album had some of best riffs:)
Yeah, that's an awesome track too. I'll be doing a couple more from the Peace Sells album. That one makes the list. 🍻🤘
There is awesome rhythm and solo work in this tune! What a great break down Tim! You are a great player and teacher my brother! Your attention to detail does not go unnoticed! Great job Tim👍
Thanks man! Great comment and thanks for watching! 🍻🎸
❤❤❤❤
Some Black Friday or my last words!
Thanks for the suggestions, I'm putting those on the list. They seem to be two very popular choices! 🍻
These two! And Mary Jane
awesome dude. More stuff off this album would be greatly appreciated. The solos can be a massive pain to learn. I can figure out the rhythm but some of the solos are “strange” to grasp

But it better work this time

Any chance you could do the final solo from Five Magic Megadeth, no one's done it yet
Best breakdown of the Chris Poland solos I’ve ever seen, great job man.
Thanks man! 🤘🍻
Great tutorial Tim, that was awesome man 😈🤘🎵🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Adam! Glad you enjoyed it! 🔥🎸
Great lesson as always tim. so i'm just going to assume your posting schedule is to wait until I ask myself "hey where's tim?" and post the next day. That's what happens. LOL
Haha, perfect! My plan is to shock and confuse with an erratic posting schedule. Lol
@@TimHolman LOL. how you doing? everything cool?
Yeah man. All is good. I'm actually organizing a new practice routine for myself right now. Too much to learn! How's it going with you?
@@TimHolman Looking up. I have 2 channels now. LOL
@@TimHolman RJ Raves is an alip bata reaction channel
Great track and will study and save this one! Chris Poland - great guitarist too and different. :) Great playing and tutorial as always! :)
Thanks man! Yeah, Poland was killer in Megadeth. Always interesting leads. 🍻
Me encantó!!!
A lot of notes i don't even heard
The studio/lives diferences...wow
You get a new subscriptor 😊
Saludos desde Argentina
Can you do good mourning/black friday ?? 😅
Thanks for the sub! I want to get to that song but not sure when. It's been requested a few times now.
What size strings do you recommend. Which size and type do you personally use ? I have been using 11's. As an old guy I'm thinking of switching to 10's. Man does this song bring back memories of misspent youth😇 Saw Em play at Warfield on their killing is my business tour with Metallica & Exodus all opening the show for Metal Church.

Haha, that would have been an awesome show. I use Ernie Ball Paradigms 10-46.
I love learning with this guy! He's awesome! He breaks the song down and explains every single part. It's impossible not to learn!
Do you think you could do tornado of souls please?
There are some killer riffs in this song. Great title too. You make it look so easy. Easy to understand and thorough lesson Tim.
Thank you! Yeah, Megadeth were able to cram so many riffs and ideas into their songs and still keep them cohesive. Amazingly creative stuff actually. Cheers man! 🍻
Thanks for the tab great job! could tell right away you were Canadian from your accent lol
