Kinda OT: Chris owning Marty Friedman's solo on tornado of souls. (shitty quality).
Chris should be well into the groove by them![]()
Kiddo, George Van Eps has been playing 7 strings since the 1930's. I played my 1st 7 string 15 years ago, an Ibanez Universe, which came out in 1990. An uncle bought that for me from a music store in Japan, so it was in production.
I don't blame you though if you first heard of 7 strings from KoRn.
Anyway, let's keep the discussion to Chris' 7 string skills and the possibility of affecting Megadeth's music.
I've been playing 7 strings while most of you were on diapers, so the sarcasm and lame analogies are uncalled for.

Wow. Completely destroys Glen's version and he plays it even better than Marty who wrote the damn solo.![]()
It takes him zero time to get "into the groove". Seriously. The guy is just that talented, has played far more complicated stuff with far less time to get up to speed, and is always an animal on stage. This actually reminds me of when Al Pitrelli got a phone call, spent two days practicing, and then jumped on a plane to the next 'deth gig.
Chris Broderick said:Honestly, I think that I am as guilty as the next person, but I am trying to use shred in a more musical way. For example I used to just think, "for this riff I will play fast" and now I like to think "well I am ending a melody on this G note but would like to end the whole solo on an A so why don't I do a sextuplet scale run ascending to it since I have a measure to do so".
i think the guitar does whatever chris wants it to do... b/c it's scared of him.
That just blows my mind. I mean, I'm no theory slouch or anything, but he's just in a whole different world.
That's my sole contribution to this thread.![]()
Is Chris a body builder or something? He doesn't seem THAT big in pics I've seen![]()
Fixed![]()
