The Four Horsemen Solo

[cromaticas]

markop from gamespot?

[caporalchef4]

You got parts of it wrong. The speed is there but you play the wrong notes on some licks wich makes it sound out of key. Not hating here, just constructive criticism.

[markop222]

@caporalchef4 yea, i know, some parts are wrong ,i will record this solo once again some day.. :D , thanks for the critisim :)

[maximatonik]

how much is an ibanez jam these days?

[robert42898]

U made that look easy

[MrHoopla]

This solo sucks :( Good cover, just hate the solo. Seeing it in action makes me go "Ah....Kirk actually altered it BADLY..."

[1337Nathan]

you did pretty good some notes were off in my opinion but you did good, you should listen to my version. sorry i had to use the actual song in the backgroung

[vladm1994]

fuck all the haters, maybe this isn't 100% correct but hey, not even kirk does em that way. i like your vid man

[guttedEwok01]

sick stuff dude

[Avengedsevenfold502]

the guitar sound is great, and you got most of the solo, but you should learn how to play it better

[markop222]

@Avengedsevenfold502

thanks! Well, i will post when i re-learn it, im working on another cover at the momment :)

[jazzcat105]

Very well done. You deserve an Ibanez Jem for that. Fantastic and keep recording.

[markop222]

@jazzcat105

Thanks! :)

[Hotdog40404040404]

what ibanez is that?

RG...350 i'm gonna guess?

[markop222]

@Hotdog40404040404

yes. with a few modifications!

[Ph6nt6mL6rd]

nice guitar, too bad u dont deserve it. dont get me wrong, it wasnt terrible but def not good...

[markop222]

@Ph6nt6mL6rd

And becouse it's not good, i dont deserve the guitar? Who are you to judge what i dont deserve. This was my first take for recording a solo to post on youtube, and as you can see this was 4 years ago, mostly learned by ear, not tablatures, the only part which is from a tab, is the first few seconds of the solo. I got a lot better now, but im not bothered to record a video again, to prove i deserve a guitar. Cheers.

[biggestMetallicAfan]

@Ph6nt6mL6rd Rewriting this as I fucked up the first post.

That's fucked up man! I doubt you can even play a simple power chord. Who the fuck are you to judge what anyone deserves? And BTW, I'm sure markop222 plays better than you can ever even dream to.

[markop222]

@biggestMetallicAfan

Thanks! :)

[biggestMetallicAfan]

@Ph6nt6mL6rd Also... change your name, because your not worthy enough to have and name related to MetallicA.

[JoshSkillz13]

[sunnyjim98]

[markop222]

@sunnyjim98

[sunnyjim98]

@markop222 lol i did it!

[rocker4rocker1]

@sunnyjim98 Me too haha

[sunnyjim98]

@rocker4rocker1 HAI FAIVE!!! :)

how are you getting on with it? i only bothered my ass to learn half of it and do a shitty improv for the rest of it lol!!!

[MultiRaiha]

@sunnyjim98 check out my metallica covers best on youtube !!

[kakarot360]

O.O

[Tallica4lyf]

dude... that was INSANE!!! haha join my band please >.>

[area51750]

awsome!!!!!!!!!!

[ichicolla]

PURE DAVE MUSTAINE POWER!!!!!

[markop222]

@ichicolla

hehe, tnx lol,

[000theUnforgiven000]

dude help me out...first pattern of the solo are you playing 12 15 17? i cant tell real well from vid.

i checked other tabs and they dont sound as good

[markop222]

@000theUnforgiven000

the first pattern is 12,13,14

[NeverAloneForever]

It's also the Mechanix solo. lol.

[SpicyDragoon]

They're very similar but the Mechanix solo has some slightly more complicated bits.

[NeverAloneForever]

Oh yeah. I just checked it out. Kirk Hammet's style is the difference I guess.

[usernam4444]

um FUCK MECHANIX

[SpicyDragoon]

No i'm pretty sure Megadeth wins some points for originality, Kthxbye

[usernam4444]

@SpicyDragoon but metallica easily plays it with more something

[SpicyDragoon]

They're both decent versions, The Four Horsemen has more structure. But Mechanix is fast like it should be.

[lukakata1]

u awesome

[SpicyDragoon]

By ear? Sir that was pretty good, i subscribed :)

[GoldenAndreas]

are these pus really that bad, or did u forgot to make a good setting?

(for real i got same prob, i got since today the 420eg and i wonder how worse there are in comparison to what evrybody says)

[markop222]

@GoldenAndreas

you mean pickups? Well, they are not that good. i changed them

[gottasmokebud]

nice dean shirt

[Cropsgrinder]

damn...that was awesome

[ediek915]

I love how everybody says it's awesome, great job, etc. It's hacked and wanked all the way through.

Try learning the solo before posting it.

[narutoxxx333]

as long as it sounds close enough its still awesome

[markop222]

@ediek915

i uploaded it because i thought it was a good try. Im not a perfect guitar player in any way, i play guitar because its my passion and i love playing guitar. And if i miss few notes or alot of notes i dont care as long as it sounds good and in key.

anyway thanks for your oppinion, but you know, if alot of people said that it's awesome and great job, etc.. then it probably isnt bad.

[ediek915]

@Mark

Sorry man, I didn't mean to insult your playing. My comments were directed more at the little kiddies who can't play a single note, and therefore tell everybody that uploads to YT that they're awesome. Honestly I have seen very few clips on YT that I would consider truely awesome.

Keep playing bro, you def. have potential. Is it great? No. Is it a good try, no doubt.

[markop222]

@ediek915

No problem, i didn't understood your post before then. Thanks for the explenation. Anyway, thanks for your comment.

[baconrules311]

@ediek915 its a cover, its suppost to be played a little bit differently

[shaneomacmcgee]

great job man

beautiful guitar, too

[Chitarrometro]

Great cover...Keep rockin!

[SnipedOrangeJews]

holy shit u got the same guitar as me

[xxxslipknotguyxxx]

everybody else on utube sux but ur the best

[FlamePhoenix2009]

Hey thats heaps mad!!! especially since you learnt it by ear, good work!

check out my version of it, i covered both solos in one vid

[BUFFW]

great job man

[MasterJoni]

Fucking awesome!

[DevilMayDie24]

i gotta say, that was spot on.

[BestIfUsedBy2012]

you make it look

sooooooooo easy! :D

5*

[Seethroughfisheyes]

Dude,what do you think of Ibanez SA series?Are those guitars good?At least for this stuff?

[BestIfUsedBy2012]

thats an RG350, i think...

[Seethroughfisheyes]

I know it is,I still want to know about the SA series.Because I have one of them.Are they good for rock/metal/neoclassical stuff?

[Crashnewer]

this is my favourite solo by metallica

nice cover, 5/5

[Privat3Kag3]

Dude nice Ibanez!! Is that an RGX 3 or 5? Great cover by the way!!

[markop222]

it's an rg350dx wh

[JosebSuperstar17]

That was super dee duper!

[tfidos]

ass kickin

[33COOLMAN33]

awesome

when i cam comparing other videos they are shit i am gonn to watch more :P

[ItaloDantas95]

yeah, it's an easy solo to learn by ear, kickass classic song from metallica. Great job :)

[Knifyman]

MEtallica didn't make the solo, Mustaine did, and he made it much better

[blazzor80]

Mustaine wrote this solo but he didn't play it in Kill em' All, Hammett did.

In Mechanix this solo is not played.

[Knifyman]

Listen to the solo in The MEchanix and compare to Hammets, it's very alike huh? Dave wrote it and made it way better

[richardfox1990]

Mustaine did make the solo better, but metallica sorted the main riff tempos out and in my opinion made it a better song! Especially with the interlude!

[maowcat]

Mechanix sucks in my opinion but it's all preference. And yes dave did write the solo for the the four horsemen but i think hammet changed it around, and it sounds much better his way imo.

[DevilMayDie24]

no kirk wrote the middle harmony solo. ( i think)

[SuperMetalHead13]

yes he did

[Aussiemetallica]

correct

[whydothegoodieyoung]

yeah he did

[pakishock91]

yes he did.. which also the best part of the song.

[maowcat]

I think hammet rewrote this solo to his liking but i'm not sure, but mustaine did write the original, he's a great writer but in my eyes a douche bag.

[Knifyman]

no no no no no man! The lyrics, the vocals , the guitar and the drums are way better in Mechanix! Metallica may have a slower and lyrics about death but I still like Daves creation of it. I wouldn't call Dave a douche since I don't know him personally or the way he's acting in interviews, on stage etc

[maowcat]

I could have sworn the lyrics in the mechanix were about a mechanic banging a chick...that's pretty shitty lyrics in my eyes. And have you ever seen any interviews of mustaine, the whole reason he made megadeth was revenge from being kicked out of metallica, all he did for years was bitch about being kicked out, and he took it all out on hammet because they told kirk to use mustaines solos in kill em all. That's what i call a hard core douche bag.

[Knifyman]

Ok this can go on for ages. He much well stopped with this after youthasia. After that me made some albums for his and his bandmembers fun. And still who cares if he wanted revenge? THat makes the whole thing cooler since he doesn't seem so worried on stage. But seriously who gives a damn after all it's both thrash

[sk8jon2]

@Knifyman mustaine only did tha RIIIIIFFFFf

[Knifyman]

@sk8jon2 Ignorant.

Go check up the solos from no life til leather and you'll hear.

[nomad434]

@Knifyman He was with Metallica at that time so bummer that he got kicked out ..

[bto95]

@Knifyman Mustaine did this solo when he was part of Metallica so this is a Metallica solo.

[Evilrex500]

@bto95 Nah man. This is a Hammet solo.

[bto95]

@Evilrex500 Nah man. this solo was written by Mustaine, the only things that change is the name of the song and the man behind the guitar (Kirk Hammet).

[Evilrex500]

@bto95 Nah man. This is a Hammet solo.

[bto95]

@Evilrex500 Fuck you this solo was written by Mustaine.

[Evilrex500]

@bto95 Nah man, this this is a Hammet solo.

[bto95]

@Evilrex500 ...

[Evilrex500]

@bto95 Glad you gave in. Hammet ftw \m/

[bto95]

@Evilrex500 THIS FUCKING SOLO WAS WRITTEN BY MUSTAINE AND PLAYED AND RECORDED BY HAMMET, STOP TRYING TO ARGUE WITH PPL IN YOUTUBE BECAUSE YOU DONT HAVE A FUCKING LIFE OR SOMEONE TO TALK.

[bubblegum0912]

@bto95 your the one arguing here...

[littlespiffy10]

@Knifyman he wrote the whole song... but metallica made it a MASTERPIECE not like the chipmunk version of this song... mechnix

[Knifyman]

@littlespiffy10 And I don't give a damn about some random person who thinks "the mechanix" is bad. I'd rather listen to The Mechanix than metallicas version. The four horsemen is a fairly weak song actully

[jlozada24]

im thinking of getting that guitar.... how good are the pickups?

[markop222]

well, the pickups in the guitar are decent,..so - now bad and not good, inbetween, i changed the bridge pickup for S&D JB 4. it kills.

[meknassi666]

thats how guitarists of the black metal hold their guitars

[markop222]

lol

[davidleeman42]

not bad at all dude

[markop222]

thanks! :)

[assasinationXproject]

I hate when people hold there guitar like that!

[chikibertobecerra92]

thats the way its supposed to be held

[lodown505]

I couldn't get that intro part down, excellent work man! i posted a video response to share what parts I got down.

[red0tape]

lol sick playing but check some tabs for future refrence... :)

[chaucersttafu]

At the start he lookes pissed off at the camera. good playing

[MetalKill15]

wena guitarra!

[TylerDurden89]

Good job dude, I've got the same guitar ^^

[princesscake]

Nice shirt.

[Mantidz]

nice job man I wish I could shread like that :p

[bader11x]

sick and destroy? wtf

its suck and destroy! (jk)

its Seek n destroy

[DinkyMax]

Very well done bro!!

[maverickhunter9]

Great Job! I thought it was awesome.

[xDany248x]

at first i thought it was the mechanix solo but then i listened to them both to see the difference. i was about to comment this is the mechanix solo

[MJOLNIRSxWRATH]

the beginning is deffinately the mechanix solo, then the rest seems like a bauched mix up,

[eman120730]

can u give me the tabs dude

[onehorseman4]

you didnt play ok.

but you have a great hability to play the guitar.

[markop222]

what was wrong?

[onehorseman4]

you were wrong in 0:33 and in 0:46 but dont worry.Its´n so much.

[TravisG1304]

why does it seem like every kid with a nice guitar plays like shit a great solo made by a great fucking band played like fucking shit by this kid nice try wonder women

[markop222]

dude, im sorry but after seeing your videos, i think you need to practice and practice over, and i see you are playing guitar for a year now,i play guitar for almost 5 and a half years now, and you are telling me i suck? LOL, not to mention your ugly guitar. plus you suck at rythm and tapping.

[Khamul]

You're worse than he is, and you lack the common sense not to record yourself standing right in front of a light source.

[MJOLNIRSxWRATH]

i hope your talking about MEGADETH

and rich kids do suck, but this guys alright, i wont rip on him

[slapshot37]

That was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

[DylandEntremont]

i have that same guitar its fuckign epic, but untill i got dimebag signature strings i always broke strings waaaaaay to much i think it was cause i really like my whammy techniques:P

[markop222]

i use Elixir strings.

[FenderMetalShredder]

That wasn't really the Four Horsemen, but it was great playing, nonetheless. Good job on whatever this turned out to be. but you seem to have my problem, getting an accurate pitch when bending the high e string. I'm not dissing your playing though, it was sick. just some constructive crit from guitarist to guitarist.

[ghman01]

GNARLY!

THAT WAS RAD

keep on lettin the old metallica live

[lazywhiteguy]

bitchen!

[superjoelucky12]

that was fuckin awesome, very clean and virtuostic. a pleasure to listen to

fuck what everyone else says

[EpicFail12345]

That was amazing!

[gusthepugisownt]

I have a black rg series guitar

[Blacksycthe]

lol sk8 the tabs say to tap it...

[sk8godfortns1]

good job with the solo but be a man and don't finger tap learn how to stretch your fingers out woman

[Vote4Obama11408]

your 3 fingering blows, but the rest of it is pretty awesome

[gusthepugisownt]

KIRK HAMMIT owns all you poser guitarists. but if your not a poser than i guess your cool.

[XxMinatoNamikazexX]

If your going to comment about Kirk Hammet owning us,at least learn to spell his name right

Anyway,nice video

[kingjoey31]

5 stars bro

[EredLuin87]

flawless...good job

[JaviVS]

shit!!

[zadler64]

god like playing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[callofgears91]

nicely done man! :D

and even better since you got it by ear :o

[markop222]

thanks! :>

[guitarplayeraustin]

How do you like that guitar? I had one but shit man the tuning stability sucked so I got a jackson.

[markop222]

I like it alot, that's why i bought it! Well, i dont use the floyd rose that much, but when i use it it doesnt go out of tune that fast.
