Need to learn a Megadeth solo
Megadeth solos are hard. Anyone know which songs might be easier to learn the whole way though (including solos)?

Ooooooooooh Megadeth solos! Excellent choice my friend, you will learn a massive amount working on their material. My advice, go to amazon.com and buy the tablature for Rust in Peace. A lot of Marty's solos sound harder than they actually are, he has a real unusual style that involves unpredictable bends and exotic scales. I guarantee you will be a better guitar player from evenb just working them out even if you can't play them as per the cd. Also, check out youtube, there are plenty of Marty Friedman instructional vids online. Worth checking out too.

Superhuman has chosen one of the Best Albums of all time. Truely a musical Masterpiece and one of Friedman's legacies, but I also give due credit to Mustaine by his incredible way of picking and rhythm techniques in time signatures. Holy Wars is a definite challenge to master the technique for players @ any level. Once it has been mastered, it will make anyone a better player overall. Many other songs will seem less challenging after that experience has been gained.
So, I say aim high and tackle Holy Wars in it's entirety, taking all the time necessary to accomplish gaining the skill level. You will be happy with the results from the time invested.
Good luck

I was hoping not to hear Holy Wars lol. Its my favorite song (tied with all the other songs :D ) on RIP. Marty's timing is just so different from anything else Ive played. Lots of odd bends also, like Superhuman said. Ive been working on Holy Wars, Hanger 18, and Tornado of Souls, but figured Id go back and learn my way up to those. Guess Ill just take it slow. I use Guitar Pro, so thats a lot easier to learn with.
Oh, and that mini solo the throws in at 2:15 in Holy Wars is so confusing to me.

I don't think my mind will ever be changed that Rust In Peace is the greatest metal album of all time. Absolutely disgusting.
If I was to blindly choose, I'd go with Tornado of Souls. Though I'd be willing to bet learning anything off that entire album is going to be a challenge.

Let your soul shine. Its better than sunshine. Its better than moonshine. Damn sure better than rain.
