As I wrote in another thread, I’ve been nerding Marty Friedman’s guitar playing on Rust in Peace for a while now. In relation to that, I thought I’d record a little vid of me trying to play the solo to Tornado of Souls. Its a bit rough in parts, as the techniques in that solo are just ridiculous, but I tried my best. I was helped along by Mattfig’s Deth profiles

One of the best renditions of this solo that I have seen yet!
Great job man....which tab did you use? I remember searching a while back and the ones I tried were all off....

I hate you!

I watched Ben Eller’s video and tweaked little bits of it here and there. He misses that Marty plays octaves in the tremolo picking part, for instance. That last section that is impossible to play note for note is obviously my approximation, based on slowing it down to 25% on youtube, hahaha! Thanks for the kind words!

You're so-musical, Sammy; I back you 100% for whatever you put your mind to, brother.
Say, wanna swap the Charvel for a Luke?

You hand position :). I need the guitar higher for that crazy stuff.
You can check out my channel here (https://www.y o u t u b e.com/watch?v=xKMP63d16-s) but don't want to steal your thunder (even if I could - please figure out the link yourself - don't want my big ugly thumpnail in your thread)

You’ve got good skills. I’m just trying to impress the inner 14 year-old me, by convincing myself I can play this stuff (I can’t)

That's CRAZY, Sam!
