Megadeth - Good Mourning/Black Friday (cover)

I've been looking forward to make a cover of this song for a very long time. It's definitely one of my favourite Megadeth songs and the intro is their best, most beautiful and epic musical section ever. It's a pure thrash song. The intro solo is amazing and it's difficult to mimic the feeling. This may well be the Megadeth song I've put most effort into learning. The main riff is pretty hard, and the intro's clean "riff" is very complex and takes a lot of time to learn. It's probably Megadeth's hardest song before Rust In Peace.

Recorded the 28th - 30th of August 2009 using a Pentax Optio M30 regular digital camera, audio recorded with an iAudio 7. Edited using Magix Music Maker 10 Deluxe and streamed as a 640x480 resolution Windows Media Video with 25 fps.

[SwedishBerzerker]

@megadeth8592 I never try to duplicate tones, there's not much point as I don't have the same amplifier or cabinet or anything anyway. Thanks! :)
