Hey there kids! Its Uncle Ben Eller, and on Weekend Wankshop 237, we are going to learn one of the best solos in heavy metal history: Killing Road by Megadeth, featuring Marty Friedman and Dave Mustaine (from the criminally-underrated Youthanasia album)!
Ever since i put up my cover video of this legendary solo, i've had a lot of you guys asking for a full lesson breakdown on it... and since i aim to please, here we are! This is an amazing solo if you're looking to learn all about Marty's amazing phrasing and arpeggio use; The Tornado of Souls solo features some great triad licks, and this one may be even cooler, in my opinion!
In this video, we will talk about the tuning, tones, and all the licks from both of these solos. This is a note-for-note breakdown, so take your time with it! Its a pretty dang tough solo. And don't skimp on that awesome Friedman vibrato!!!
Using my Ibanez RG550 with Fishman Fluence Classic pickups, straight into my Fractal Axe-FX III using the "Learning to Lead" preset from the Petrucci Rig. I am so amazed by the Axe-FX III, it is INCREDIBLE!
Thanks so much for watching! What other classic solos would you like to learn here on my channel?
Dude I swear you’re a gift for anybody trying to do advanced guitar playing, thank you so much.
I second that!
I couldn’t agree more
I don't have a guitar but that lesson was awesome.
You know you've made it when peeps are watching your guitar lessons without a guitar XD
Have you bought a guitar yet?
@@patriotfirst8922 am I printing money? Corona ate everything, had to even sell my car which equalled to ending my small business. That ship'd sailed, man.
@@TheJackal917 sorry to hear it man I wish you the best
@@patriotfirst8922 thanks.
Youthanasia is indeed underrated! I pimp this album as an intro to Megadeth for the uninitiated. You are right, awesome riffs and harmonies. Plus Family Tree is a super sad and creepy song and lyrically the album feels one of the most honest/introspective of their catalog. This solo is well beyond my current skill level, but Ima gonna try a lick or two. Thanks Benjamin!
its my favourite album of theirs by a mile. amazing songs throughout
@@luke-xz1gb same! this album turned me a metalhead as a 13yo kid who got it for his birthday in 1994! By far their best and I don't care what anybody else says.
I laughed so hard when you said Marty played “with that right flipper”
Testament Practice What You Preach ! I made a backing track if you want.
Sckolnick like Friedman are the best in thrash metal 🤘🏻
oh yes please uncle ben...do a lesson on that one!!!!!
Yes please do Practice what you preach and Souls of Black solos!
had the honour of meeting Skolnick at a guitar clinic and watched him play PWYP,,,,I sat in a chair 2 metres from him in shock while he ripped that one out. Utter madness.
He gave me the pick he used during the clinic afterwards...its an AST Jazz 3 kind of pick. My lucky day on this earth.
Thanks for watching!!! Be sure to also watch Weekend Wankshop 200 (Tornado of Souls solo) and Weekend Wankshop 186 (Symphony of Destruction solo), too!! What other classic Marty Friedman Megadeth solos do you want to learn next?
Ben Eller great job dude! Symphony of Destruction, Tornado of Souls, Family Tree are also fabulous ones! In case ;)
Beautifully done, sir! I forgot how good that solo actually was.
Lucretia, his nastiest solo ever
Another overlooked Marty solo, architecture of aggression
You already know the answer... 🌪️of 👻👻!
3:31 "Don't worry, you don't have to *lose your mind or all your money* to join in" HA ! I see what you did there.
"Marty is a bit aggressive with that flipper he plays with"... Classic

Skin o my teeth is an amazing Marty solo too that never gets much mention 🤘
One of the most delicious pieces of guitar EVER. I will ALWAYS maintain Marty Friedman is underrated.
that 11-6 pulloff is kicking my ass, awesome video
Youthanasia was most definitely a great follow up to Countdown (my personal favorite) and most definitely under rated. One of the best things about this album was the artwork on the inside with the picture of Jesus wearing a Megadeth T-shirt. I found a certain peace knowing that the boss man enjoys good heavy tunes.
Fun fact from a Megageek: the original pressing of the album in 1994 was, in fact, entirely a perfect half step down. Only on the 2004 reissue did some of the tunings get wonky.
PhantomLord114 wow! That’s awesome to know! Thanks dude.
The official youthanasia tab book had the album in the weird 1/4 step tuning
Andy M A word of caution on tablature books. They’re not always 100% accurate, whether it be in notation or album details. Off the top of my head, Elysian Fields, The Killing Road, and Blood of Heroes were the three songs affected on the reissue. You ought to be able to find the original versions here on YT
How did that happen?
Was it played a half step down, or was it lowered in the mastering phase?
@@kommissar.murphy I can only guess, but there's some really cool footage from the making of the Youthanasia album that can also be found here on UA-cam. Any shots from the studio itself has the guitars tuned a half step down, and it also seems to me that they recorded the album to tape rather than digitally. It's possible that the tape could've been sped up in the remastering process, which could explain the tuning issues.
"The flipper he plays with" 😂😂 Great video, Uncle Ben!
Between Rick Beato's video on Symphony of Destruction's production, and your lessons on the Symphony solo and this, I'm really starting to re-appreciate Megadeth's mainstream stuff. It's so tight and groovy!
Your tone and vibrato are so damn spot on, it's scary.
Great work as always.
You played that note perfect, with style and confidence. Very very impressive. I love Megadeth and know this solo inside and out (although I can't play it and havn't tried) and you NAILED IT. Cheers mate.
titmusspaultpaul5 thanks buddy :)
@@BenEller your very welcome uncle Ben. LOVE your videos and channel. Cheers mate.
Always thought this should be mentioned with the tornado of souls solo,truly underated

The killing song! One of my all time favorites from Megadeth absolutely love it!!!
Great playing uncle Ben!
i always loved this solo and just decided to youtube search it for people like you, im 2 min into the video and liked it cuz that was great, good job man, thx
So good!!
Ben there was huge lesson for me in this tutorial that's helped me see where I can address a serious gap in my playing. Thanks for that
Damn, great job! You fu**ing nailed it!
thanks for bringing the underrated solos to the forefront 🤘
do one on the Vortex solo!!
Those pickups look cool.
Very cool man, you killed it 🤘🏻
This is always been one of my favorite solos of all time as well. So happy to hear someone else agrees! Especially someone who can actually play it, let alone teach it to us! THANK YOU!
I dont subscribe to channels normally but dude ur playing and teaching technique got me..just awesome playing!!
Thank you uncle Ben! Recently I've learned Family Tree solo. Would be awesome if you did it next so I can check how I did!
I love how you trim the fat and go straight to the business of the lesson. I’m have such a hard time learning solos from teachers who take too long on each section, where as blasting through seems to be the best way for me to learn licks. Love it man, always a fan of your playing/teaching! Also Dead and Lovely. Yes.
Helped a lot. Can play it almost perfectly now
Silent watcher of you channel here, just got my new interface for the guitar today, started straight up relearning a lot of old tunes I used to ply, including this one, then I randomly stumble across this video, good stuff sir.
Wow, that tone it's amazing.
Excellent tutorial as always! It would be awesome if you made a lesson on any of Marty's solo stuff (Dragon's Kiss, scenes, introduction)
Damn it! Now I have to learn all of this...why do you do this to me 😩 thanx Ben! 🤘😁
Thank you uncle ben!!!!! I've worshiped Youthansia for years and taken so much shit for it truly underrated.
Dude, you killed it! 🤘😎🤘
This is freeking hard for my current level 😅 man I'm having so much fun. Thanks Uncle Ben
You played it beautifully! :)
This is very very close to being 100% correct, Ben you're killing as usual you save me so much time deciphering the parts by ear!
Effing hell you're great man, luv yer playing and attitude, kudos]
brittiant thank you my friend! love the facial expressions
Thank you so much
Thank you tío 🤘🏻
Fine job dude ! i can clearly remember when i first heard this solo saying to myself "this solo doesn't seem that complicated". And then i started lo learn it from hear. This was just hell ! Same goes for Symphony of Destruction. 2 masterpieces !
this solo is like when enter to a meditation state, my time perception get slower every time i hear it and every note drag me into it. thank you for breaking it down
Awesome!!! I'm your fan!!! Thank you very much man!!! 💖✨🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Totally agree about this solo. Always one of my favorites to play. Other notable incredible solos are Captive Honor, Angry Again, and Vortex.
So cool!! That solo is Marty's best with Megadeth...next to 'Tornado Of Souls' of course. It sounds like Dracula is shredding way up in his tower suite with millions of bats swarming around. It just reeks of that killer gothic horror vibe. So wickedly awesome. Great job teaching. Phenomenal. I saved it to my solos to learn playlist. Gonna start the woodshedding. And I subscribed. New fan. Don't 'rock' the boat. Lol you have found your calling. ......
Your tone somehow makes this already incredible solo into something even better!
Jacob Raham god bless Fractal!
Ben Eller I need to get on some of that haha
really love to see you cover Conquer or Die ...amazing solo from Kiko
Badass! Great job! And love the Mike Tyson's Punch Out music
YESSS YOU POSTED IT A LESSON!!!!!!!!
You have a very talented ear brother. Never quit!
Damn, dude! That solo is sick! I really dig the confident facial expressions. Wish I could pull that off
I never really gave Megadeth much time back in the day.
But, since watching this video....... I've been listening to youthanasia and rust in peace and I'm loving it. Now I'm asking myself why didn't I listen to them years ago.
Great tutorials as usual Ben........ You're a talented man!
Thanks. Just learned it. You helped my phrasing!! 2:18
Man your calm and confidence while playing is really remarkable. I'm really impressed. How do you stay so relaxed?
thanks to you i managed to play note right the solo of symphony of destruction, my arch nemesis for almost 20 years due to bad notations and funky tabs, you rock man, but this, this is the shit! i didnt have a problem trying because i quit the first time i tried. thank you so much for inspiring me to take it over and play one of the best solos this short dude could produce as it deserves. you’re going to guitar heaven dude...
I lost my life to this solo!
Thanks for the lesson!
Dave loves dueling banjos! Who knew? Uncle Ben Rules!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎸
Definitely one of the best, I always thought why this solo never got any Credit for being one of the best solos megadeth out there.
Still waiting on between the buried and me - Alaska or selkies solo
holy shit I've been looking for a lesson om this solo my arsenal of megadeth leads I can just bust out keeps growing 😭😭😭
You amaze me, how you can play like that and make it look absolutely effortless...and you actually enjoy playing it instead of fighting your way through it. Bow down to Uncle Ben.
Dude! From one Eller to another. You make playing Marty solos look easy and they by no means are not!!!!
superb
Yes! now we need Blood Of Heroes uncle Ben!
Uncle Ben ur too awesome
Had to give it a like for the facial expressions in the solo alone lmao😂 Great video!🤘🔥
I guess you effortlessly strolled through that. Wow. These UA-cam shredders are amazing.
