Megadeth - Marty Friedman - Tornado Of Souls, isolated guitar solo
Tornado of souls (Tornado di anime) è la traccia numero sette del quarto album dei Megadeth, Rust in Peace, uscito il 24 settembre del 1990.
"Tornado of Souls" is a song by American thrash metal band Megadeth from their 1990 studio album Rust in Peace. Despite never being released as a single nor having a music video, the song remains of a staple of the band's catalog. The song is well-known for its guitar solo played by Marty Friedman, which is considered by many one of the greatest metal guitar solos of all time. It is also widely considered to be one of the hardest songs to play on an electric guitar.
"Tornado of Souls" is more melodic than many other songs on Rust in Peace. The solo is considered one of the best in heavy metal history, which frontman Dave Mustaine recognized from the first time he heard it.
In a 2002 retrospective, lead guitarist Marty Friedman said that, quote:
"When I finished the solo to this one, Mustaine came into the studio, listened to it down once, turned around and without saying a word, shook my hand. It was at that moment that I felt like I was truly the guitarist for this band".
Bassist David Ellefson stated that, "because of the downpicking on 'Tornado', I would change it sometimes depending on who the drummer was".
The lyrics of this song, like many of Megadeth's, are about frontman Dave Mustaine's ex-girlfriend, Diana.

The guitar solo in "Tornado of Souls" is nothing short of a masterpiece, an auditory marvel that transcends the boundaries of musical expression. Marty Friedman's virtuosity is on full display, weaving a sonic tapestry that captivates the listener in a whirlwind of technical brilliance and emotional resonance.
From the very first notes, Friedman takes the listener on a journey through a sonic landscape that is both intricate and powerful. The precision and fluidity with which he navigates the fretboard are a testament to his unparalleled skill as a guitarist. The solo is a rollercoaster of musicality, with lightning-fast runs, soulful bends, and tasteful phrasing that elevate it to a realm of its own.
What sets this solo apart is not just the technical prowess but the emotional depth it conveys. Each note seems to carry a weight of emotion, from melancholy to triumph, creating a connection with the listener on a visceral level. It's not just a display of guitar proficiency; it's an emotional journey that resonates with the soul.
The dynamics of the solo add another layer of complexity, with moments of intense shredding giving way to soul-stirring melodic passages. The ebb and flow of intensity create a sense of tension and release, keeping the listener engaged and enraptured throughout the solo's duration.
And let's not forget the tone - Friedman's guitar tone is a sonic force of nature. The choice of notes, the articulation, and the overall tonal palette contribute to the solo's unmistakable character.
