Marty Mustaine Style Lesson

Hi GMC! Welcome to my new lesson inspired by Megadeth. This is a riffing + solo lesson inspired in this great trash metal band. I started working on this lesson when I read a thread at the forum where a new user said that Megadeth's new song has a riff very similar to my first lesson based on them. In that thread you’ll find the reason why I get inspired to work on a new Megadeth Style lesson. 

In this lesson I used Phrygian mode to compose the riffing section based on many Metallica and Megadeth songs (for example “Symphony of Destruction”). In the solo I used a chord progression very used by Mustaine & company. You can check for example the song “Hangar 18”.

I tried to capture Mustaine & Friedman’s vibes in the solo part. I combined E pentatonic minor + blue note, E Aeolian and E Dorian scales to compose the solo. 

Techniques:
- alternate picking
- sweep picking
- legato
- Vibrato
- pinched harmonics
- palm muting
- bending

Scales used:
- E minor Aeolian
- E Phrygian
- E Dorian


Ok, I hope that you enjoy this lesson and that Mustaine invite me to play with them in Argentina! hahahha.

See you guys!

Gabriel.

PS: If you like this lesson you have to check (if you didin't) Megadeth's "Countdown to extinction" and "Rust in Peace" albums.
