How to Play Guitar Hero Songs on Electric Guitar : How to Play "Symphony of Destruction" by Megadeth

[Ulysses447]

What I hate about beginners and Guitar Hero players: They both think they can play anything.

[17E4O08]

Did i really just look up how to play this song?

[Monolythos]

Most of the famous riffs I know to play know were from Joe so you should stop criticize him if you don't even know what a guitar is. go to howtoplayanysong.co m and learn good shit from him before talking

[imandre98]

156 peoples thought they could to play guitar hero with a real guitar.

[2occasional]

this video has nothing to it.

[Crashkiller62]

well hes not teaching the whole song just a little riff for beginners :/ of chours if you are a good guitar player youll laugh but i remember when i started guitar playing i also started like this :/

so at least give this guy a chance to show beginner guitar players how to play these songs. mybe they did the exact thing i did and bought a real guitar after playing guitar hero. and its also not bad explained...

[BLOODYMOON62]

jmcinvale since you know so much show us show us that we do not know what we are talking about

[JESUSWARRIOR11]

sweet i just learnd how to play it in like 10 mins!!!

[ShiningXwolf]

@JESUSWARRIOR11 Wow, a whole 10 minutes, huh?

[JESUSWARRIOR11]

@ShiningXwolf uhhh yeah??

[ShiningXwolf]

@JESUSWARRIOR11 It takes about 30 seconds to learn that riff correctly.

[JESUSWARRIOR11]

@ShiningXwolf lol kay..umm thanks for letting me know?? ha

[ShiningXwolf]

@JESUSWARRIOR11 You may as well give up on your hopes of becoming a christian rockstar.

[JESUSWARRIOR11]

@ShiningXwolf lol ur right i should:/

[Moonchild666Ed]

no one like this guy and i don't know why!!

[onpsxmember]

how can you call that channel expertvillage?

who would ever play the E-chord with his third finger?

how about a little palm muting information?

i would be ashamed to upload such crap

[jmcinvale]

@onpsxmember

obviously this guy would play the E-chord with his third finger. If you think it is not right then upload a video showing us the correct way to do it or keep your mouth shut.

[ShiningXwolf]

@onpsxmember Agreed. But then again Mustaine plays it with his index finger. I don't see why nobody just uses their middle finger. You don't even need to move your hand then

[Neuffey]

He doesn't even know that the first chord you hit is an F chord. What an idiot.

[Golfinnder]

"Rock n Roll Conservatory"? Lol, this is Thrash metal School of Life!

[bersk8board]

dude if u learn how to play guitar with this guy u will only learn the intro!

[loco4201]

@bersk8board and u will learn how to strum too many times with one of the easiest Megadeth riffs ever!! lol this guy is a n00b!!!

[MikeBB666]

Dude....you suck

[OVER9000VIDEOS]

dude that is a tiny ass guitar

[mmmmmhotdogs]

@OVER9000VIDEOS dude that is a gibson sg

[OVER9000VIDEOS]

@mmmmmhotdogs I don't care it's fucking small

and this guy is playing it wrong there are no open chugs in between

[mmmmmhotdogs]

@OVER9000VIDEOS Come on dude you're starting to sound stupid bashing the size of a pretty iconic guitar. As for the dudes playing, i'll agree it's pretty damn sketchy. but i'm sure you're no better at all considering you are watching the video.

[OVER9000VIDEOS]

@mmmmmhotdogs I got here from watching the video for the actual song, Symphony of Destruction. I knew expertvillage was pretty terrible for everything else, so I wanted to see if they were terrible at guitar too, and I was right. I'm a shit-ton better than this guy, this song isn't even hard.

[jmcinvale]

@OVER9000VIDEOS

If you are better then upload a video with you playing this same intro, otherwise keep your mouth shut.

[overkil4815]

learn to play the song... THEN teach it

[3030DW]

The first three notes are palm muted too, FAIL

[abudrox]

tudo errado...

[dasboschit232]

muy bueno el video

[killingblow528]

lol love how he doesn't know how to play the bridge, chorus, or solo XD what a homo

[LyricsArFun]

@killingblow528 Put a vid of you playing it up now.

[killingblow528]

@LyricsArFun Don't have a cam. But trust, I know how to play the damn thing. I could explain in TEXT better than this dude could on video.

[phatznipa66]

is that the only clothes you have?

[eXtremeHellFire]

@TundraRabbit hahahaha

[erancambridge]

Nothing to it, you make it seem so easy. You nailed the extended A minor 6 arpeggio during the solo. I can't wait to impress my friends with all that I learned. EXACTLY like Dave plays it.

[TheGaGaJew]

Look how he plays his E5 chord. LOL. Sped cunt.

[tronicmanoz]

How to play like a retarded

[charlie7297]

"this is another relativley easy sing if you know a 2-finger power chord".....there's this new thing called a solo chief... you should try it sometime

[streetrulez]

Guy looks like Frank Bello

[GH2whiz]

there isnt any low e strumming after the power chords.....

[Brittow]

@GH2whiz he's just simmulating the bass, dumbass.

[TheeZster66]

dam now theres gonna be kids at school playing only the intro to this song fuk....

[examanted]

sorry but totally wrong :)

first get your palm mutings back they sound like your ass getting raped.

second there arent ANY palm mutings on this song just normal muting

so good luck guys :)

[erpvb]

@examanted its not wrong thats exacly i saw dave playing it .......

[MegaCharlesv]

nahhhh and the palm muted effect ahhhh??

[polskpojjkeh]

I get that by my own while listening to the song it self :=)

[MrJoobafob]

'theres nothing to it' yeah cos ur not playin it right!

[TREEhuginKiD]

WTF?! I wonder if I learned "ANYTHING" at all

[Edhunterbasse]

Does he even own any other guitars? You know, its fair enough but SO MANY videos and only ONE guitar?

[AldenNH]

wait....... how do you play it?

[rmoyavaldivia]

are you sure that your are a guitarrist?

[darknessoca]

Use ur middle finger in the E power chord ;) is easier

[elldorado1991]

This guy is always in the same clothes.

What the fuck is he?A bum or what? :D:D

[01pico]

esta mal asi no se toca XD!

[CADUMEGATALLICA]

expert village = mierda

[MrHeindall]

its wrong!

[metallicaxjavoxmcr]

"How to play guitar hero songs on electric guitar"

1- Get a guitar, cable, amp, and a pick

2- Get the tabs

3- practice till real guitar hero

Its that simple

Brotip: Throw away your guitar hero, there's nothing like a real instrument.

You peanutbutter and jelly?

[1993epiphoneSG]

wow........ok so apparently theres nothing to it, but he plays it wrong? does expert village know how wrong they are sometimes? ......guess not.........

[calvinS11223]

my lesson is so much better

[UGoTDZeZ]

@goodoleboy17 not if you play it on easy.

[SnapItzMike]

All of you flamers be quiet, this is for beginners. 'I can't believe you guys are THAT stupid (quote half of you) that you would think he would waste his time teaching a solo. If you want to flame every video that doesn't teach you the solo, GO LEARN IT ON YOUR OWN if you hate these videos.

[hobgoblinhobo313]

I'm sorry but I think I have the right to learn a FULL SONG played the RIGHT WAY and your videos don't cut it, so bye!

[Rikuvalor1992]

How is this wrong? This is how Dave plays it. lol.

[1993epiphoneSG]

@Rikuvalor1992 there aren't any palm muted 8th notes in between the power chords, also he didnt mute when we should have

[N7Crazy]

Joe Wiles here with the rock´n´roll conservatory, on the behalf of expert village. I am gonna trick you to think this is a full lesson, while you just get the intro, just like a billion other vid´s I made. And there is a very good chance that I may do it wrong. So sit back, and and relax, while I enjoy ALL of your disapointed faces. Ha ha!

[fluffyninjas]

The way i see it, it doesn't matter if youre playing the wrong notes/chords, as long as it sounds like the song, play the way you like it.

[antoniohdg]

im sorry i know this song im only looking for the solo but truth is i never thought that someone would be stupid enough to call their video a "how to play symphony of destruction" and only teach the intro, so would u do a favor to the world's guitarrists looking t0 learn this song, and dont fill youtube with videos that wont help, cuz it only makes it harder to find what people are obviously looking for, thankyou.

[TheHowling9]

If anyone here who can do better, would upload a vid of 'how to play better' I would be very thankful!

For someone like me, who's a 'real noob' it's a good motivation to know 'the easy pussy' parts and a good way to start with..

So..

Thanks for the ViD!

[xxsladedethxx]

take this shit down you fuckin guitar hero poser. its a disgrace to mustaine,you just played the easy pussy part.try the middle single noted riff on this song. bet no guitar hero poser fags can learn it, i liked guitar hero in the beginning but now its just barfed up a generation of posers that make us true guitar players look bad cuz they think they can play a real guitar with just 4 buttons.

[antoniohdg]

@xxsladedethxx ure right u know iv played guitar for a long time and when i first played guitar hero i was (am) terrible while in the guitar i was pretty good which to me shows a big difference

GH is a fake get rock band 5/4 (im not sure) which is almost on sale and has a pro mode with an almst real guitar (actually a real guitar only that for the game) and then u will not only learn songs but stop being a poser and become the real thing!

[acdcandnerf]

@xxsladedethxx you must be the biggest idiot ive seen on youtube congratulations hes trying to teach the intro to beginners

[johnnylgr11]

dumb

[GeetarGuy101]

$10 this guys killed himself.

[mikehawk757]

im a drummer and i can play this song on guitar better than this fucktard

[rameslayer]

sucks



[SlipKnoTRokr]

haha...how can you fuck up the easiest song ever?

[11JimMorrison]

@SlipKnoTRokr *easiest riff

[PeikkoKuningas95]

jesus and i thought my 3yeard old brother sucks... -___-'



[AndrewSFX]

if this guy did a lesson of a yngwie malmsteen song, he probs teach us like 4 notes of a solo then that would be the end. XD

[miiwii123neva]

you guys are a bunch of fuckfaces he didnt play anything wrong

[rokimbo]

why "expert"village? it should be the noobvillage... dam they suck... you don´t learn how to play guitar either how to do music. just see that stupid bald guy playing on a music shop, a disaster.

[GhostGuitars]

@rokimbo Noob village - nice! this is an easy riff and he STILL fucks it up. Unbelievable

[ZZombyWooff]

jesus christ..

[Gastritis96]

another lesson of introvillage

[eXtremeHellFire]

thumbs up if you think that a rabbit is better

[BROKENXJUSTICE]

@eXtremeHellFire

[Bollehamsteren]

Except for the muting, he isn't playing anything wrong. He's just playing the bass groove as well.

[h3rs]

Do i have to mute the chords?

[dovalenano2]

ajajajajaaj lol : )

[zaktan415]

the middle part between the power chords parts is also palm muted. get your song right dumbass.

[guitarshredder123457]

congratulations you just played one the the most basic riffs in the world wrong

[StalePopTart]

ewwwwww so so very wrong

[ClassicRoaste]

This doesn't teach you anything at all. All it does is show you how to play the intro and he doesn't even play it right. First of all, he isn't palm-muting the 1-3-1 on the E string, and hes playing 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0 which shouldn't even be in there. The bass plays that part to begin with. Wrong guitar, wrong riff, wrong sound, and he doesn't teach anything at all.

[CrimzonAE]

Fail

[guitarbog86]

try playin your open E power chord with your middle finger econimcs is the key make life easy

[69KiRa]

expertvillage is such a crap

[neonguitar90210]

why do all of you guys hate when you could just keep it to your selfs im no preacher but theres already to much hate in this world we dont need more andf the vid was bad but not that bad

[QuickPYT]

this hurts my brain

[forevermushroom]

this guy is such a faggot, I cant help but laughing

[DanskeSange]

The guitar sounds like shit..

Well, its a SG :-)

[TheRcade]

@DanskeSange dude, FUCK YOU....take a look at angus young you dumbass, SG's rock shit !!

[DanskeSange]

@TheRcade Fuck you too, bastard.. Joes SG in this video is a piece of fucking cheap shit. Angus Young is playing quality SG's, asshole..

[TheRcade]

@DanskeSange you didnt mention that little fuck up

[sepita10]

and the point of this video is...?

[matija191]

Hahaha he actually played like the easiest part of the song wrong X)

[XXxSTEELHEADxXX]

fag

[patman1322]

why is all these videos from this guy shit?

[killingblow528]

this guy is so gay

[rocker794]

the start of it with the low e playing 1 3 1 is supposed to be palm muted

[JeffersonRank88]

Megadeth sucks.

[akhimakhi93]

@JeffersonRank88 you mom sucks my dick for free

[JeffersonRank88]

@akhimakhi93 Shut up Dad. Get off the internet old man.

[akhimakhi93]

@JeffersonRank88 im your 16 year old father faggot...

[mingebag851]

Don't look at this guys lessons, he plays them all wrong... Take a look at Dave Mustaines own lessons, if you want to learn Megadeth songs correctly.

[NewOscarGuy]

@mingebag851

I dont know what you are complaining about? the only difference is that Dave slides up to his first finger which makes sense and this guy slides down to his third which works but doesn't set him up for the next riff.

Also this guys chugs through the break rather than counting which isnt a big deal.

[mingebag851]

@NewOscarGuy Yeah, but this guy doesn't really know what he is doing...

[PearlJammer07]

Nothing wrong with playing Guitar Hero or Rock Band. Both series of games are entertaining games. I can play some guitar. Not an expert though. Dave Mustaine and Poland are beasts on guitar!

[awsomeo70]

You're missing some palm muting there.

[27davidsantana]

lol i love all those kids that play guitar hero and they think that real guitar is same easy shit, they are soooooooooo wrong

[timblebimble]

same man it does my fucking head in everyone braging how they can play songs on expert

[FatalityX9]

Wtf @ that E with the ring finger.

[namelessrocker12]

the chords were right, but the guitar doesnt do those muted strums in between. and im just splitting hairs now but it kinda annoys me how you do that E with your ring finger

[Pwnzordude45]

What's the big deal? I played guitar hero, until expert, which inspired me to pick up a real guitar, and I rock at both!

[EILIVdrummer]

*FAIL*

[xxsladedethxx]

fact*

[xxsladedethxx]

fucking goddamn posers think they can play real guitar after playing it on guitar hero. ive been playing guitar for 5 years and its nothing compare to the game, in face i suck at the game and am like a million times better at real guitar cuz the shit simply doesnt compare,showing from how many views this video has theres alot of posers out there that discovered real metal by guitar hero, its pathetic.i typed in dave mustaine an this pathetic video game up,that songs simple as shit btw.

[Minifisen]

i agree. Fucking hate guitar hero / rock band twats >:(

[angryfatkid]

@xxsladedethxx

So you think you're better than everyone else by going around and calling people posers? You know, I could say that you're a poser by trying to imitate Dave Mustaine and all of your favourite guitar players/bands. It's called inspiration, and people find it in different ways. Who gives a shit where these "posers" found their inspiration? They're inspired, for chrissake. They care about something, which a lot of people don't nowadays.

[ifimlyinimbryan]

yeah it aint wrong but playing the E power chord with your ring finger is just gay

[matt2eadgbe]

@ifimlyinimbryan

i was thinking the same thing

[ifimlyinimbryan]

if you're in your 30's and cant grow facial hair.......don't!!

[ifimlyinimbryan]

dentist

[champsinger]

@ifimlyinimbryan lol?

[urgodlistens2slayer]

they only coverd the intro D:

[voyager71390]

1. His guitar looks small on him

2. He played the baseline.

3. This guy sucks dick.

[AngelSilasTV]

these guys only do easy songs,and they suck dick

[jello195]

I didn't believe someone could play this part of symphony of destruction the wrong way but apparently I was wrong.

This guy must be the guitarist with the less groove I have ever seen in my life.

[smoss469]

@jello195 I think it's right but you should palm mute the low E.

[camby118]

@jello195

to be fair... the bass is playing the open E during the verses so he probably mistook it to be guitar.

[lordofthestrngs]

@jello195 ikr its like the easiest rif ever but he still f's it up..what a tool.

[SOIBand]

@jello195 y? he is not of the beat and he is showing to people who want to know it really slow

[jello195]

@SOIBand Groove is not only about being on the beat. Dave Mustaine made a video explaining how he plays this piece. Compare them, you'll see Dave Mustaine is grooving while playing this song where this guy does not.

[lookingood123]

@jello195 I bet he can spell better than you though...

[jello195]

@lookingood123 Your point being? Who give a fuck how I spell! This is a video supposedly explaining how to play a song. I am merely pointing out the fact that this guys cannot play the song he says he is teaching.

[WookieandSon]

you guys are dumb ass fuck if you think its played different youre a fucking moron

[ligerxero666]

wow how is this wrong? hahaha i play guitar. that is basically how it is done.

[cliffsasexybeast]

i think the whole point of these videos is to get beginers started on playing riffs that SOUND right even though they're not played the right way

[dabears8954]

wow this is wrong 2!!!

[blayze101]

Every single video of this dudes is fucking hopeless bullshit.

[mkguitarhero]

ya mean easy song if u dont play the solo :P

[megaderek]

that guy has clearly never heard the song before

[colashanacogh]

whos better - dave mustaine or kirt hammet?

[CBKProProto06]

thats so hard to say.

[KrazzyKripples]

@colashanacogh imo dave is better because he seems more technical in his playing, kirk seems to do alot of basic minor scales and tends to stay in one zone, and i see dave move around more with his playing.

[The3P1C]

@colashanacogh Kirk Hammet, but thats my opinion.

[pitbullsrock01]

@colashanacogh , dude..... Mustaine.... duhhhhhhhhhhhh...

[colashanacogh]

lol, fair enough

[emopandaisgoth6]

nice that really helped

[7651751]

i wanna see you playing the solo ^^

[11aa11ss2]

what guitar hero is this?

[Bolzmann13]

the first

[theiconmichael]

agradece que te estan enseñando gratis aweonao ¬¬

[cesar0269]

a qu ependejo si no quieres enseñarlas mejor no las enseñes wey

incompletas todas tus pinches canciones

[scrattenherz]

is incomplete, sucker

[sebastal]

Hey dumbasses pickup your guitars and play the first fret of the first (high E) string, then play the secon (B) string on the fret number six, it's the exact same thing...mustaine has a guitar lesson where he teaches the 3 methods on how to play this song...there ain't just one way

[bahrainbluesky]

this method of teaching never works if you just learn small riffs. having started playing guitar bout 3 years ago i learnt playin small riffs like these. but found out i wasnt goin anywhere cos i cant play the rest of the damn song. build up some chops then get to the song in full.
