Megadeth - "Symphony of Destruction" Guitar Solo Lesson

[bullshitproof]

you do not play symphony of detruction as country!! god damit!!

[xMetalayerx]

Thanks man. This vid is going to help me and my band finally be able to play this song. The solo was really the only part that our lead guitarist was having trouble playing. We should be able to nail it within the week. Kudos.

[ReachBlows]

the only part of the song that confused me was towards the end of the solo, but on 5:51 he explained it perfect! He plays is slow enough that I got it down easy by ear, SWEET!!!

great vid man this helped out big time! Big Thanks.

[Leadultra23]

TABs?



[v8venom87]

This sounds dead on! Would it be posable to get the tabs for this? Also wondering if you have a guitar pro track for this solo? v8venom87@gmail.com

[firehouse890]

Thanks For The Tabs!! :D

[chere2244]

Do you have tabs?

[Nirvanaseattle1]

cool but no lesson

[chere2244]

Do you have tabs?

[guitarjyoti]

Thank you so much. That's all I can and want to say.

[brpadington]

Great Video!!!!

[imakazero]

wow. you play it sooooo diffrently than how marty does it.

[poringoba]

how you make the playback slowly??

[jamminjimmy100]

Hey AWESOME lesson. Thanks so much. You totally nailed this solo, and ya FRIEDMAN's a MONSTER!!! LOL Very hard to cop his stuff. Appreciate you dude!

[playmaxtv]

good job! thank you

[swrpgamer]

nice lesson man thanx!

[jimbox229]

jajajajaja habla igual que john petrucci

[xXhanson900Xx]

why can't people stop whoring out their websites and just teach us a damn solo?

[AxesenseGuitarGym]

@xXhanson900Xx Why do people have to be bitchy little haters instead of appreciating quality, hard work that creates resources for them for free?

[notdacoolest]

@AxesenseGuitarGym before i watch the video i have to say i agree with you ... being a guitarist is a hardwork ... but honestly could you put up a sample video with a lesson.. or maybe even half a lesson.. just like advertising.. if you have already done that... good on you mate :)

[notdacoolest]

oh damn. ... sorry bout that... should have watched the whole video first..... :P ..... awesome job bro..:)

[paraglidermx]

@AxesenseGuitarGym sooner or later if they are going to want to exel in playing they will have to kno theory

[WWFinurhouse]

dude! that is pretty heavy tone for a single coil pick ups

[AxesenseGuitarGym]

@WWFinurhouse It's a stacked humbucker. All you have to do is listen to Jeff Beck to know that single-coils can sound WAY heavy. :)

[WWFinurhouse]

@AxesenseGuitarGym My guitar has a single-coil pick ups. It is very heavy for a strat, still it's a cheap guitar!

[GuitarSlinger2112]

@AxesenseGuitarGym Or Blackmore

[kojirotakeda]

Really helpful, thank you very much!

[AxesenseGuitarGym]

@TheTaosTaos Let's see the video of you playing it; talk is cheap.

[DG320]

@TheTaosTaos

Yes pls upload your version, i'm genuinely interested how far you can go with only 10 months under your belt.

[TheTaosTaos]

@DG320 i got a crappy camera this sux lol... i want one though so i can upload videos finally :)

[sixxthunderbird]

@TheTaosTaos I highly doubt you can play it. You may think you can, but I guarantee it's shit.

[Mahavishnu80]

Very accurate. Nice pickup combo, 

[xGioxHammettx]

[AxesenseGuitarGym]

thank you!

[wlindenlaub]

@AxesenseGuitarGym Is this played the same way as in the Countdown to Extinction tablature book? I've been trying to learn this solo and you sounded dead on! I've noticed differences in other videos, I just want to learn it the right way.

[Riler12456]

[gvonderau]

Mullet denial.

[maracuja1230]

im losing faith on my guitar... sorry guitar maybe in another life

[Swedguy97]

Great lesson! Finally figured it out thanks to this!

[petermccoll]

thanks man. Youre way of playing it was easier and more logical than what the tabs showed.

[xGioxHammettx]

que marca es tu guitarra broo?

thanks :D

[AxesenseGuitarGym]

@xGioxHammettx G&L Legacy.

[shwishshwash]

Let's talk briefly... about that mullet.

[AxesenseGuitarGym]

@shwishshwash Dude, I know a mullet, trust me. That is not a mullet. :)

[rampage222555]

[Greg321m]

if you guys are looking for a tab, I wrote one on ultimate guitar yesterday and I include the fingerings for how to play it. I use some easier hand positions that the video above. it wouldn't let me post the link in this comment, so i posted it as a comment in the comment section of my channel.

[secondvongola]

wow your lesson is great ....can you pls give the tab?ill pm my email to you now

[jcmarroquinbanos]

[dwiputranto81]

[vsts7]

can anyone tell me what s the name of the scale,in which the solo is writen?

[rampage222555]

@vsts7 he mentioned all the different scales and arpegios used in the solo.

[Maiden4Maiden]

petervanmeijl55@hotmail.com for the tabs,

Thanks for the reply..

[LiK3aMONK3Y]

Great lesson man thanks !

[Maiden4Maiden]

What equipment do you use ?

What strings ?

Can I have the tabs for the solo ?

Were you learn't playing like that ?

Can you upload tunes to a amp (my line 6 Spider IV) if you got a guitar - USB cable ?.. So yes which program ?.

I ask this because I am looking for solo tunes like Beat it and this solo.

MY amp can't get this tune so.

Help me, please.

Pete..

[AxesenseGuitarGym]

@Maiden4Maiden Hi Pete. My current rig is two Godin guitars with synth-access (Freeway SA and Multiac Nylon) running through a Roland VG-99 and a Yamaha Motif-Rack. I like coated strings. I used to be endorsed by Elixir, now I use Black Diamond or D'Addario. I'm not sure if you can put tunes in a Spider IV. I have a Spider Jam and know that it is possible with that amp. I'll need your email to send you the tabs. Good luckl!

[RadGuitarPro]

@AxesenseGuitarGym

Could you send me the tabs please? My email is petrisalminen@windowslive(dot)­com

Thanks in advance! :)

[GarrettR90]

This really is not a good lesson.

Just an ego boost for him.

[AxesenseGuitarGym]

@GarrettR90 Damn, now my ego boost got popped. Ouch. Guess I'll have to make a Dethklok vid to feel better about myself again.

[Glazeman11]

@AxesenseGuitarGym Dethklok is the shit

[firehouse890]

pease tabbs

[tebarovski]

you're a gr8 teacher

[tanreu]

[fastjunkie831]

@AxesenseGuitarGym hey can you please send me the tabs to the solo please?

[tanreu]

@AxesenseGuitarGym hey thanks for the tabs!! :D

[CoopertiveChampion]

@AxesenseGuitarGym I would greatly appreciate if you sent me the tabs for this awesome sauce solo my email is captinslapaho112@yahoo.com and I couldnt help overseeing that you do Dethklok vids? Because I dont see any on this account and noboy else posts vids of Dethklok stuff so is there a different account?

[mickey007r]

thanks for the lesson its great!!

[AxesenseGuitarGym]

@mickey007r Tnx.



[arachnidkid13]

@AxesenseGuitarGym

Dude, thanks so much for this video. i so want to learn this solo... and you're probably the best guitar teacher i've found on youtube yet. thanks so much for helpin us all out, man.

keep rockin' \m/

[TheAlexander8848]

thanks man

[erancambridge]

Thats why he's Marty Friedman... He's FAST!! Great video. I learned how to play it from Guitar Hero and, you're playing it wrong. That one part is red, yellow, orange, yellow, blue I can get 100% on expert!

[AxesenseGuitarGym]

@erancambridge I can barely clear Barracuda!

[erancambridge]

@AxesenseGuitarGym Right on. lol

[giotheguitarist]

@erancambridge dude GH and a real guitar are COMPLETLY different..

[erancambridge]

@giotheguitarist sarcasm, I actually learned the song from the expertvillage video ha ha ha more sarcasm

[RuiGranja903]

@erancambridge

I meant to put like on this comment!

So damn funny xD

[giasou55]

ultimate guitar for tabs guys =D Good one!

[razor309ify]

sweet, well i will have to try that. thanks man, keep rocking!

[razor309ify]

thanks a lot man!!! these guys are just mad because they dont know the theroy of music. after watching you play this solo, your probably the best player i have seen for this song. i wanted to ask you what do you use on your computer for the backing track? because i want to create my own stuff wit a recorded backing track.

[AxesenseGuitarGym]

@razor309ify Thanks. For the video I was just using the original track and slowed it down using time compression in Pro Tools. My favorite slow-down tool is "The Amazing Slow-Downer", which you can download onto any Windows computer.

[1996haggard]

u fail... thats not even how u play the song and ur solo...isnt the real solo the solo is way ufurther into the son...ur puting to much into the actual playing especally the verry beginin

[XleperXmessiahX]

got tabs?

[GiannhsDeathMetal]

if it's a guitar lesson i am your father.

[Ektoremilio]

can u give me the tabs if u have it

[PeterGhimself]

@AxesenseGuitarGym great tutorial for understanding the solo! i learned from tabs, but they're not quite what you play, if possible could you (also) send me the tabs for the solo? petergranitski@gmail.com

[TheCookBookofEli]

you cant explain that any better, I mean the guy slows it down and clearly plays it damn near perfect. If you cant learn from this than guitar is NOT your instrument, but wow man damn good job, and hope you do the same for other songs cause this is the best guitar lesson I have ever seen on youtube. the only way to get a better vid is for MEGADETH themselves to post how its done, other than that this vid is the one to watch.

[FrVallC59]

4:25

devil face xd

[kiomio10]

you play the guitar well but I didnt learn a shit O.o

[AxesenseGuitarGym]

@kiomio10 LOL. That's funny!

[sacrifyce4]

@kiomio10

You just gotta take the time. I just learned the whole thing in like a day. you just have to break it down.

[kiomio10]

@sacrifyce4 I learned the song, but not from this video :)

[MusicRedd]

I learnt that I should learn more theory :D

[iliasgogakis]

Really great lesson....really helped me to learn more about that weird solo...thanx a lot.Can i have the tabs in iliasgogakis@gmail.com ??? Thanx a lot again !!!

[Hertsman50]

Dude you are truly awesome for nailing this solo. I'm finding it so damn difficult, wish I could just play it even at the slowest speed. Possibly the most awesome metal tune ever written.

[Buzzedd777]

Excellent breakdown of the solo, what modes he uses over what chords. Most teachers skip that part or don't understand it themselves and showing different speeds, good idea.

[MrKindaSux]

gordon , that was one awesome lesson.

i loved every second of it , and learn a bit of new things.

also the finger positions of the solo were killing me.

thank you.

[IAMFOMAN]

Sorry, woops, spas

[MrHeavenslord]

would you mind sending me instructions on the theoritical part? I'm kind of a newb but i really really want to play this solo...thanks

[thenightfirekilla]

excellent explanation, im subscribing right now

[PUERTANEGRAMUSIC]

hey man .. this track is really impressive lesson .. your videos are fantastic and have helped a lot .. I wanted to congratulate you for the video of symphony of destruction .. I learned to play it soon .. that I've done a great lesson ... I wish I had your opinion of the things I play .. and some tips to improve and achieve the things you do .. greetings from Argentina ... Continue with your good work ..

[salimyehia1]

Man, this is the best tutorial ever posted! Marty is such an uncommon guitar player and not you only got the notes but also the unusual feeling he always puts in his solos! If it's possible send the tabs to saloyaya@hotmail.com . Thanx man!

[AxesenseGuitarGym]

@salimyehia1 Thank you, that's very kind.

[Livetoheadbang]

you look like mayhem's vocalist O_o well one of em, theyre always switching or dying.

[AxesenseGuitarGym]

@Livetoheadbang I'm hoping to be around for awhile. :)

[DREMSproductions]

" Ups! TRying again ! " lol XD

[AxesenseGuitarGym]

@Wyzel just hit me up with your email in a message (unless you want the world to know it) and I'll send you a copy. Thanks!

[Sonar517]

[FadlanEffendiMusic]

wow I was expecting a note-to-note lesson... But you gave me something better! Thanks alot dude

[RrVvEeNn]

WTF this is a lesson?????

[AxesenseGuitarGym]

@RrVvEeNn Shows scales and arpeggios used in the solo and the approach of practicing at different speeds. I can send you the tabs if you like. Do you want to learn this or do you just want to be a critic?

[RrVvEeNn]

@AxesenseGuitarGym But this is not a lesson!! ¬¬"

[RISINGfawnJUNCTION]

Great lesson... you got faster fingers the the politicians in Washington!
