Check out Bradley Hall's lesson and breakdown of Holy Wars. Ben Eller, Bradley Hall and Bernth are perhaps my favorite guitar lesson / content creators, with Ben and Bradley focused on cool licks and songs, and Bernth having more all around technique lessons. I am a Patr[e]on of all 3. 😊

2026-02-01 23:29:16 +0000 UTCThis is awesome, uncle Ben! And your post comes at a very opportune moment for me... I just played a School of Rock adult group show at Arlene's Grocery in NYC last week, and Symphony of Destruction was part of our set list. I did pretty well with the rhythm parts of the tune, but was sorely lacking in the Marty solo department. So, now I am going back over your video and guide here on this awesome solo, and going to learn it properly... some great and super re-usable licks in this solo, so absolutely worth learning this one note for note! TY!!

2026-01-11 14:45:53 +0000 UTCThe definition of using simple harmonies but the end result not sounding generic. Great composition on Mustaine's part (and whoever else contributed).
