[hendrixslashmay]

i really appreciate all of these lessons...

[pougias123]

thats not the solo but thanks :)

[TheXGgfication1]

Thank you man, seriously :D

[M9130Dude762X54R]

awesome thanks for the help, there are so many tabs out there that are wrong...

[AndrewTennessee]

metronome, son

[LostinH6llyw66d]

It's RUST in peace.

[siguuen]

what it means when a number is inside the pharenthesis when reading the tabs??

[wlindenlaub]

@siguuen I'm pretty sure it means the note is held and allowed to ring out, but not picked again.

[furbycommando94]

dear god your amp sounds fucking amazing

[hobbes666]

It's called rust in peace not rest in peace.

[WillicusAwesomeus]

@hobbes666 turn on the annotations. he corrects himself

[ChainLinks8]

great tutorial brotha. thanks for taking your time out to teach us

[cronkrer]

how you pick the intro up down up down or down down down please answer!!

[hladankrompir]

@cronkrer Sixth string - down string; third and forth string - up string. I'm using that combined tech.

[cronkrer]

@hladankrompir thnx man

[SchezopreniA]

to those who dislike this video , FUCK OFF!!!

[PeterJhim]

Teach the whole song please!

[KenSushi]

Marty Friedman was really a genius. Still is too, it's sad he left Megadeth but, have you heard his solo stuff? I just picked up his "Tokyo Jukebox 2" CD a few days ago while I was in Japan and it's badass.

[rush2795]

i made a contract with myself that i will not stop learning guitar until i can play this song flawlessly

[Phamtom020]

one of the best tutorials i've ever seen

[bornwithclothes]

He needs to teach the fucking solo

[kungfudragon99]

ive only being playing playing for 7 months and i cannot believe i was able to play this hard riff within a couple of minutes :D thank you man!

[adamajah]

Thanks! All those Chuck Berry riffs made this super easy to pick up.

[imakazero]

and the rest of the song you can learn by watching them live 1992 with marty friedman!!! learn well!!!!! :D

[tiaisthebest]

yay! I din't know you could do a natural harmonic like that! sooooo easy.

thanks :3

[IvonatorBG]

I suscribe :)

[hatten7575]

if played guitar for 1 and ahalf year now and lernd more than half of all songs from you. I remember when i just started and i watched this and it looked so damn hard. Today i watched it again and i can play it. Not flawless but allmost. Your the best :P

[SixStringSting75]

Nice videos dude!!

[MadeofMetal310]

Its quite easier with a skinnier neck, like the ibanez RGs, btw this song is very fun to play when u get it right!!!

[DelornificatioN]

The whole song is full of tricky moments, but I still can't figure out the easiest picking for the intro.

[666aron]

@DelornificatioN Tried shredding with one pick per string?

[joeyrule111]

SO fucking hard to play that quick bit!

[maorichainsaw]

i dont knw what it is but your just playing intro and verse riff ,,why not just say that ,people will think your teaching them the whole song ,HEHE

[HBKdabest1984]

Anyone else realize he said rest in peace instead of rust in peace? LOL :)

[ilikemybong]

thank you so much! damn nice tone too

[rush2795]

i'm only a beginner at guitar, but i will definetely come back to this channel for excellent songs like this one.

[MrBolindro]

Thanks for helping me with this superfuckingly awesome song. I uploaded a video with my -not finished yet- cover.

[MrKevKev90]

The first video I've seen that emphasises NATURAL HARMONICS at the intro...That has cleared up so much confusion for me!! You know how to make good tutorial videos!!! :) CHEERS!! :D

[beefcakes42]

nice job, of course i learned to play holy wars before i saw ur vid on it, would have been alot easier...but this vid definatly made it pretty easy to get the gist of this song...good teaching!

[BrianJLeong]

Hmmm, i've been doing the intro harmonics on the 7th fret of the sixth, 5th fret of the 5th, and 5th fret of the forth, same/ notes but I like the sharper tone off the 5th fret

[WhomTheGodsDetest]

fucking solid.

[diabl0r]

Thansk for a great lesson! You should make one for Wake Up Dead.

[Matsteelcba]

great!!

[vmgc1131]

what are your amp settings?

[1fnklown]

ah yes tab/THANX

[iokgrax]

keren

[GuitarSlinger2112]

Great lesson but, kill the effects! Rust was nothing but guitars and Marshalls. :cheers:

[thomer97]

a couple years back, i bought a guitar, epiphone les paul special II. i had always wanted to be good at guitar. but at that moment, i thought that i was never gonna be good. then, a month after i got the guitar, i was like, "huh, i wonder if i could learn a riff on guitar finally. maybe ill try raining blood, just to see if i can do it." so i look up the lesson, and see your video. i saw the tabs, and i knew how to read them right away. i can officially say, that my first song was raining blood.

[lowercase18]

@thomer97 same thing happened to me...except i was stuck on acoustic guitar for a while... i looked up this song bout a year ago and i learned the harmonics, i couldnt do anything after that... then yesterday bam!!! i got it like nothing... i can now include this song in my arsenal of songs hahahahha

[UnchainTheNight1]

Thank you very much for this lesson. It made learning this much easier than from tablature.

[BlackIdiot666]

thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­nks a loooot

This song is fuc**ng easy but i love it

[mateo2711ify]

@BlackIdiot666 Easy song ha? Post your cover so let us see how you play that easily, smartass..

[BlackIdiot666]

@mateo2711ify every decent metal guitarist knows what a pentatonic scale is, or how to play some fu**ing palm-muting riffs, "mateo2711903547843ify"... : D

[theneverER]

I like the vid-3 but why is that flange on?

[wexenhex]

ive been playing guitar for 2 years, but that 2nd riff kills me for some reason. rest of the song isnt too bad tho...

[effeXxX]

@wexenhex WOW!

ive been playing since late 2010 and the second riff is not hard for me..

makes me happy to see that im making progress :D

[wexenhex]

@effeXxX

its just weird for me. i dont normally play scales like that. but it can only make ya better.

[miguelgtwe]

wake up dead by megadeth please its an amazing music

[imakazero]

what kind of amp do you use? :\

[beginnersmessiah]

dude, u have got so many lessons on Megadeth and all of metal in general, but i want someone to show me the main riff of Rattlehead by Megadeth off their first record... There's no one all over the internet with a lesson on it.... Pls man if u cud post a lesson on this song i will be Grateful a million times

[alexelperron]

@beginnersmessiah

its easy on the 4th string you just alternate pick it and press frets 7, 8 and 5 to the rhythm of the song and end it on a power chord of fret 3 on the 5th string and 5 on the fourth

[TheDarklord517]

hey could you do a tab on a tout le monde from megadeth it will be greatly appreciated??

[spencer5078]

when you do these vids u should take ur phaser off or whatever that is

[MrRhoadsliveson]

your ummmm.... AMAZING O_o

[gaz17041985]

thanks heaps man, how does it feel to teach all the metalheads in the world all the best metal songs? i only take your lessons dude, they're the best

[Face0fRoadkill1213]

i want what your on! no for real...

[berichon123]

Have you made use of cocaine just before your video?

[neasjrrn]

missing a couple notes there in the verse

[remixex369]

maybe u are not good in grammar(JK ABOUT THT) but u are awesome at guitarplaying, u have saved my ass quite sum times, and this is not an exception...thanx a lot again lml

[svendebest]

It's Rust in Peace man!

[tristan1940]

alas, cut off by limitation of symbols here in my ultimate - I just wanted to say, again - by all means, mine was merely an observation and not at all to be taken any other way - tabs alone can sometimes exacerbate the situation

[tristan1940]

very very good; though I have one small criticism about the instruction; simply because - I have found - my own students often struggle with rhythm in more complex chord ideas, and movements; especially with the pick hand - e.g - getting the fluidity and timing down without the aid of rhythmic notation on the top ledger always seems the cause of their growing despondence - I have noticed that even if 'they cannot read music' - the aforementioned rhythm of the music notation often does help

[unaprendizz]

fuiste de mucha ayuda gracias :)

[RockZerr]

thx fo the guide

[mikeochenballs]

dude, great vids, very thorough yet fast paced.

[imakazero]

@m169marroquin haha

[GONGINATER209]

dude it says w/ tabs , what up with that

[metalmario298]

@GONGINATER209 Do you have annotations on??

[TheRoboticFerret]

@GONGINATER209 Turn video annotations on.

[ScorpZ80]

Dude, your videos are just great! Thanks :)

[jopel92]

youre amazing dude ^^ thanks alot. 

[cjcjcjcj0]

fucking hell man what a legend

[rsdave809]

Thanks brother.... needed that

[PSPOD]

You have a clockwork vic shirt?



[eargosedown]

I'm a relatively new guitar player, but I've been playing drums for almost 18 years, and piano for almost six. This is an incredibly hard song to tackle, but this is simply my favorite piece of music ever made. I've decided to learn it, long as it may take, and thoroughly be able to play it. This video is a life saver over just learning from straight tabs. Thank you SO much for all your awesome videos! Subscribed and fav'd!

[ben10sk8r]

@eargosedown fuck yeah dude!!!! i have literally tought myself how to play guitar by watching this channel, in about three months. i fuckin know you can do it too hahahah

[Krai91]

@52alkom Sorry, but you're just talking bullshit. The stuff Marty has written is definitely not beginner stuff and requires an equal level of technique than most of Yngwie's or any other fast player. And yeah, since you think this easy, I'd love to see you playing this song. Guess it sounds, with your incredible expierence of hilarious 2 months, like shit. God damn, comments like this just piss me off!

[Krai91]

@52alkom There are lots of people here on youtube like you. Trust me, if you record your playing you will realize that it's not sounding good. Oh and don't think that a good technique means that someone has actual talent. There are 10000s of guitar players in this world that can shred the hell out of guitar, but only a few are acutally recognized for that, because "it's just fucking boring and everyone can write stuff like that" (just some standard quote from many formus).

[uselessmarial]

when you are doing the main rhythm riff, why do you play E like 0-2-2 instead of just palm muting the E string and chug it. when playing at speed i think doing the E full on like that would just become sloppy.

[pinkisntwell2]

Good lesson, very clear, keep them coming!

[valentine6758]

hi can you do a lesson of the song my last words by megadeth congratulations for you video

[jackass69sexy]

your vid really helped man thanks for posting this up man! 

[dudelasers]

dude are you on cocaine? lol awesome lesson! got everything from this ^^

[wtfjac555]

dude u should do lessons for all the riffs of this song and then a solo lesson it would be awesome !!!!ur lessons r the best tnx keep them comeing

[wtfjac555]

dude u should do a lesson on all the riffs and after that a lesson on the solo it would be killer dude!!!! tnx ur lessons r the best

[Megadethmegadethfan1]

Mustaine is god.

[paraglidermx]

@Megadethmegadethfan1 Dave is THE KING OF THRASH!!!!!!

[RushIsMyLifeFool]

lmfao "chug on it" instead of palm mute ahaha perfect!

[24bulls08]

thanks dude your awesome

[ventor11225]

Hey man, could you please put up an instructional video for Good Mourning/Black Friday? I dont know if you listen to requests but i literally will pay you money if you teach us to play that whole song.

[Ninjafruit123]

It's "Rust In Peace" just so you know :D

[MultiRaiha]

WRONG!!

[lewisself]

@MultiRaiha you do know there's no right way of playing a song right? .... there's different ways of playing the same song.

[H3llh0und666999]

@MultiRaiha lmao you just suck balls because when you try to play it, it probably sounds like shit cause you dont know how to play guitar.

[danzigjr]

"Creepy Mustaine Sound". Hahaha. I think they're called "major third diads". But I do agree that Dave Mustaine uses them to great effect. Especially in The Conjuring.

[MultiRaiha]

@danzigjr CHECK OUT MY tornado of souls solo!

[cakire82]

Great lesson dude. Thanks. Could also add the solo part please, if possible? By the way, what is the effect using? Phaser?

[ureloaded]

you are missing a note in the riff after the intro, it's a 5th string note at the air, no fret. (sorry but I don't know the code you use, here we call the 5th string "la")

[KpeMaToPuu]

RESPECT \m/ !!!!!!!!!

[KARVAKY]

Solo? D:

[MultiRaiha]

@KARVAKY yeah check mine out

[monkeyboy6676]

Thanks a lot, that helped me no end for the timing.

[Samwinchester1234]

ok mattster now u need to do a lesson for SUDDEN DETH

[xKappash]

@Samwinchester1234: Go die.

[MBvolcom92]

thank you so much for posting this, it's helped so much :)

[megadethtube]

SOME HOMEPAGE, WITH ORIGINAL TABS OF MEGADETH, OR ALMOST ORIGINAL

[thecharvelshredder]

what kind of guitar(s) do you have?

[jacksondk1244]

At 4:49 You say to play the G twice more, and have it tabbed as such. It looks as though you only play it once. When I played it myself I couldn't play it twice and make it sound correct and in time.

[MetalRockForever]

That part right after the intro.. god damn.. time to take it real slow I guess

[concker666]

How do you play the intro ?

Alternative Picking ? My English is not good :/

[Mtellier123456789]

@concker666 I think its down picked, and your english seems fine:P

[DethTilDeath69]

@concker666 yeah, its easier to downstroke the intro

[concker666]

How do you play the intro ?

Alternative Picking ? My English is not good :/

[Notlew2009]

Hello man!

[KARVAKY]

Nice!

[Joekool1489]

I bought the guitar book and knew something didn't sound quite right. A lot of the tabs in it were wrong. Thanks for the help in getting it right.

[paca2435]

How long did it take to learn this song?

[MetalDeth95]

[ventor11225]

@MetalDeth95 he teahces daves parts

[supertrunks2000]

wow dude your videos are great! i love them all and your a really good guitarest . im trying to learn all the Megadeth songs you have. And I was wondering if you can make a video on how to play Set the Worl Afire by Megadeth? That would be really awesome :)

[ElUriAguila]

Excelent video! greetings, This is one of my megadeth favs but i could never pull the main riff. i've seen tons of videos for learning this song, but i never learned with anyone tough.

[MrOxidizer]

@ElUriAguila just practice the man riff slowly, start it very slowly ten when you get it start increasing the speed little by little

[andresrecchia97]

awesome song!!!

where are you from?

[SaocoRCD]

[sonnic1995]

[Heeya13]

I fucking love you marroquin. You're always here to take care of my Megadeth rhythm needs

[Darksoul132]

yo, i got an electric guitar today, i was wondering how you get the harmonica sound properly? is there anything else i need like the reverb pedal?

thanks

[kolbie232]

if this is you're first time with electric guitar DON'T START WITH THIS SONG!

[ObeyYourMaster1001]

@Darksoul132

ur on crack

[Lawfulness]

@Darksoul132 Wzzup bro, for harmonics you dont need anything. When i first tried it for this song, it was bad. But i just kept trying. You will get better :) And if you are just starting with playing guitar, its a great song if u are up to a challenge. I did that too

[Darksoul132]

@Lawfulness hm...i will practice :D thanks alot...its just i dont hear any harmonics when i play...:(

[Lawfulness]

@Darksoul132 Neither did I at first lol

[Darksoul132]

@Lawfulness Does it have anything to do with the fact that my guitar is a strat starcaster? i think the maker of this video has one too but i just want to make sure :)

[Lawfulness]

@Darksoul132 Nothing to do with it.... You can do harmonics on ANY guitar :) So who inspired you to pick up a guitar?? :)

[Darksoul132]

@Lawfulness

Metal did! :D :P

[Znistus]

Move your finger. there there, try positioning it ovet the tab ? You should hear them a litle eaven if unpluged.

[Jonte790]

Thanks man! I would never have learned to play this song on my own.

Very nice lesson!

[fredoman924]

dude you have thought me every megadeth song i have wanted to learn you rock

[Doonocarinaguy]

m169marroquin, dude you have helped me play so many megadeth songs, for example: skin o my teeth, symphony of destruciton, tornado of souls, you are truly the best teacher of guitar on you tube! keep up the good work. ;) Doonocarinaguy.

[2805Megadeth]

Good guitar lesson dude, but Im missing the solo!!

[bencollins33]
