Absolutely one of the greatest guitar riffs ever created. Not sure, but I would guess this is probably a Dave riff. Marty's brilliance was mostly for solos play from what I gather, but I'd be curious exactly how much of the riff writing Marty helped on. Considering Marty isn't in many of the credits, I doubt he had much input as far as the initial creation of the main riffs. Seems like I remember Dave & Dave getting most of the publishing credit those years.
I really like your tutorials. they really help. good to find great tutorial videos that acctually help. I really like those songs you cover. Megadeth for life. it's good to know that someone is willing to teach others abroad like you, with videos. so I say, thank you for posting your videos.
The part I meant was the last 4 notes before the two chords and the second verse. After they play D, G#, C#, G, what I hear is C, F, C#, G, and the the last two chords, E and F#. Going from those notes to the last two chords sounds scewed up when you play it slow, but it is what he's playing on the record.
spider chords!!!! I LIKE IT!!!! A major to Bb minor on the E, use index and ring to do the 5/6 combo and then use the middle and ring to the 6/8 combo, works for me every time!
@EJDevon if you dont know, david ellefson now runs an agricultural farm where his dad used to work....one time mustaine even lent him like 20 thousand dollars to help keep the farm in business, so basically david ellefson is a farmer and a bassist for a thrash metal band hence that easily makes farming and agriculture metal!!!!
This was very helpful, thanks a lot for making it. However, one thing I'd recommend in future is don't refer to the strings by number, refer to them by note name (E, A, D, G, B, E) because it gets extremely confusing when you're saying fret numbers and string numbers together. I had to look at the tabs and watch your fingers and ignored what you were saying because of this. But like I say, the tabs and your fingers were useful, so thanks a lot.
Another great lesson man....i have learned so much from you already....this may seem odd but would you mind doing some Disturbed lessons?....its prolly not your style at all but i think you could get a lot of views.....and you Megadeth fans can laugh at me all you want haha....Megadeth rules!
To be fair, there's an interview with Mustaine on ultimate guitar from years ago, where the guy asks him to describe his tone. Dave's own words were "Very crunchy. A lot of mid range as far as in the spectrum. Good amount of gain and balance to the distortion so it's not overbearing." Not saying Mattster's tone is bad, I love how mean it is, just that guy isn't really wrong either, at least about Dave's setup.
This is pretty good. I could be wrong but the part at the very end of the chorus seems wrong. Listen to it with vocals removed. I think these would be better if he just played through it very slowly instead of talking so much. It's hard to follow with so much talking. I use the Transkriber software from Reed Kotler to slow stuff down and remove vocals when needed. Also good for looping parts you want to practice.
It's just your typical Thrash tone. Lot of drive/distortion, bass and treble hi for that punch. And scoop out those mids to push out that meaty bite. Also, bury your palm and strike the chords nice and aggressive, otherwise it'll sound like dead air.
One of the only videos that get the chorus riff right, congratulations 👍

I like when you play the riffs over and over, so i can play along with it....
I really like your tutorials. they really help.

thanks for this! would be awesome with tabs, like in the other megadeth lessons. combination of video and tabs is a brilliant way to learn.
The Mattster kicks ass! \m/
Thanks dude, nice lesson🤘🏻💀

dude that part where your showing the tail end of the main riff, it sounds really catchy when you play it over and over again lol

Great stuff

hmm. i always thought the tail end of the intro was all double muted. still play it double muted lol. but this vid has helped me alot. thanks
Nice tabs
DUDE!!! You FUCKING ROCK!! Great Videos.

Where can I find the tabs?
Dude you really shred! I hope your NOT wasting your talent being just on fucking UA-cam and in a band trying to get a recording contract!

please add the bridge part which stars 1:41 on original track before 08:36 on your excellent video :)
y el tab?

which tuning is this?
great distortion

@EJDevon farming is metal
What's 'agriculture'?
It's just your typical Thrash tone. Lot of drive/distortion, bass and treble hi for that punch. And scoop out those mids to push out that meaty bite. Also, bury your palm and strike the chords nice and aggressive, otherwise it'll sound like dead air.
However you're most comfortable playing it.
win
that's how it's supposed to sound. I'm learning that opening riff and my tone sucks.
@joinmyteam Standard E
tell that to his guitar tone. And Slayer's for that matter...
Tabs are wrong for some riffs and you're not even showing the 7/8 riff
WRONG.
This song is fucking EASY. This is beginner shit. The hard part is the solo.
oh look we have an expert in our midst
Yeah,and you probably taught Joe Satriani to play,lol.Maybe you want to put a video of you playing something thats hard then?
