      One of my favourites.
      Master of Puppets arpeggio + first Solo
      Sultans of Metal (Kfir Ochaion cover) solo
      November Rain - All solos
      I think they all three are my favourites.

    The first solo in Suicide & Redemption is James and he’s absolutely shredding. But he is also responsible for almost EVERY melodic bit or harmonized “solo” on almost every single album. Kirk plays the true snot slinging ripping solos and pretty much everything else… is James

    James Better Guitarist than Kirk Easily ...
    Howeve I dont know about Mustaine, Dave writes songs and nice rhythms too but can solo circles around James

      Dave is the worst guitarist to ever play for Megadeth
