  • A little longer than I intended it to be but it's an epic song. A Dave Mustaine metal anthem right here.
    The guitar track was recorded in Logic Pro X using the Kerry King 2203 amp sim by Softube.
    Check out Softube.com for more info.

    I have to say, your lesson “pace” is perfect. You move quickly because you know your audience. No beginner should attempt this song.

    You know, I've been playing since about 1992, yet I've never even made a serious attempt to learn this song until now. I always knew it was a master class in thrash riffing, but now that I see what goes in to it, Holy Christ, it's insane. This is going to take several views and lots of practice to put together. On behalf of every metal guitar player here on CZcams, thanks for taking the time to break this down for us!

    man I played guitar from probably 1998 to around 2014ish and then kinda stopped playing. recently picked it back up and Ive been attacking some megadeth tunes that I always considered "out of reach" in terms of speed and technical shit. but HOLY FUCKING SHIT with youtube videos like yours I feel like I can actually crack these tunes that seemed impossible to me 10-15 years ago. like Im surprising myself with what is actually possible. I can already play a good part of take no prisoners and after about a week of agony I can do the holy wars intro and Im trying to get the first main riff down now. its sloppy, its slow, its frustrating but with videos like this I feel thers really excuse anymore. seriously thank your putting the time in and demystifying these legendary tunes its really appreciated.

Because i know that only YOU can possess the true power to teach all of us "regular folks" how to play it CORRECTLY, and ACCURATELY, because, after all, it can only come from a bad ass... and that's got your name written all over it...
    ...and to all those out there who think they already know how to play "HOLY WARZ" correctly, pay attention, because you're about to be schooled by the best!!!

  • @gpwrestler

    Awesome lesson man you totally nailed the chromatic parts in the beginning where most tabs get wrong. I noticed the part where you come in at 4:29 for Marty’s section that you start on the E. I believe he starts on the E flat and then descends chromatically to the A flat. I played both ways to the studio and live versions and it sounds like he starts on the E flat. This would make sense because if you play both Dave’s and Marty’s part together it’s a b7 chord. I started playing the B7 chord (at Marty’s part) and descend chromatically to the A7 chord and it sounds absolutely fucking amazing

    Great lesson! I agree with your observations concerning the inaccuracies contained in many of the published “Official “ guitar tabs books . I have had the same dissatisfaction with many times I had already learned a song or many songs , then purchased the book and see something very different than the way I thought it went ! At first I assumed I had an inexperienced ear ,until I’d try playing the book version.Eventually I realized that the publisher was just lazy and under a time crunch (I think).
