Betcha Can't Play This

[ThePIGI King]

Anyone remember this?



I was digging through my saved guitar Youtube videos and saw this. I had forgotten how old the video is and how crazy that is.

I never really listened to any bands Chris was in...did he never make a shred solo album??

He was in this little known band called Megadeth. Give them a listen.

I saw them live once, true story. I was 20 years old. Some skinheads (the nazi kind) mistook me for a good ol' yt boi and made me part of their pit crew. I gracefully allowed myself to be swept away to an area of the pit occupied by regular, non-nazi neckbeards. Also, MegaDave stopped the show to yell at the security guys for... idk what. Existing, I guess.

He's also recently opted to join some obscure band from Sweden. In Flames, I think they're called...?

 

[SalsaWood]

I also remember this from back then. I still haven't even tried learning it lol.

I remember this exact video.

Another buddy of mine did a couple of these vids and I think he caught a bunch of shit in the comments.

You never listened to Nevermore? Megadeth? Jag Panzer? (understandable on the last one)

In hindsight, this sounds like a more convoluted way of doing Michael Romeo's

 

[Moongrum]

I remember as a teenager playing Mark Morton's Betcha Can't Play This thinking I had arrived as a guitarist, even though Mark Morton specifically said he thought most people could play it.

Yeah, Chris Broderick's Chaos Theory articles/Youtube videos from Guitar World magazine. They (Guitar World magazine) transcribed all of his lessons/guitar playthroughs and it was fun to play. Difficult but also fun. Chris never released a shred solo album but he did form Act of Defiance after he left Megadeth. Chris was the only guitar player in that band so he, IMHO, was able to showcase his guitar skills without any restrictions.

Here's a 2018 Youtube compilaton video of him playing some of his solos from Act of Defiance.

Fun fact. DrewH was also at that show.

So I actually never cared much for Megadeth outside a few songs. I actually know Jag Panzer because Phil Togus wore a shirt in a playthrough he did. And i didnt know he was in Nevermore.

None of those bands I listen to much at all. I meant in the OP did he do a solo album or instrumental album with someone else.

Broderick was never a full member of Nevermore, even if he was well known for being a hired gun for them live. He never played on any of their studio albums.

I had that amp and a 1527 at one point but even then didn't bother learning this Good times.

Off topic. How do you save old videos like that? I have to constantly go add old things back to my playlists as they get removed.

It's been in my "watch later" for years. I assume the videos that you have to re-add have been taken down by the uploader or youtube and then re-uploaded.

I wondered if it was something like that, although many removals happen on my Videoclip list which I keep for art reference so I was hoping there would be a workaround. Thanks for confirming. I thought I was imagining things.

When I think of those Betcha Can’t Play This videos I always think of Rusty “400 BPM Warmup Exercises” Cooley.



Betcha Can’t? More like Betcha Won’t.

 

[p0ke]

Some of those were pretty funny because they were really bad, but Chris's one is the one I always remember. Never bothered to even try to learn it though

 

[OmegaSlayer]

I learnt the first shape
Then learning the second shape would have erased the first one, because I can't manage to remember the solos I study...not even from Iron Maiden

I think I remember G'n'R "Don't Cry", Skid Row "18 and Life", Megadeth "Tornado Of Souls" and "Symphony Of Destruction", Testament "The Electric Crown", Dream Theater "Pull Me Under" and "Under A Glass Moon" and the first 2-3 minutes of Cacophony "Concerto" and Yngwie "Far Away From The Sun"...
Basically stuff I learnt before I was 20 that I still rememeber...stuff that I learn now fail to stick in my brain
