Especially how he downpicks everything. Even those decending arpeggios.

Yea the only reason I got into this in the first place was because of Marty. Mustaine is a fairy IMO but thats for another time. ANYWAYS Marty write some freakin cool leads. Alexi from COB totally ripped of one particular lick from this song in one of his solos - cant remember which song though. I've been playing with .11's and those 1 1/2 step bends are taking their toll on my fingers. Luckily i just got some 10-52s. I've got that first solo part perfected at a little faster than 3/4 speed. Guitar Pro is sick program and it helps a lot!

Sorry that post just spanned like 5 different topics!
