This is everybody’s favourite Megadeth solo 😉

[SamaelVR]

Man Gus still kicks ass all these years later.

[precioustreasures]

Wow! That was amazingly clean and perfect..you just made it look so easy.

[DaveOz]

I remember you and Marty had a tour in Europe almost decade ago. Finally I can see your tornado solo. Great job Gus!

[Gannon_The_Great]

Impeccable solo, it's like it tells a story, and flawless playing as ever. Can't wait to see you (and Firewind) in London!

[panagiotiskaroutas]

Yes! very close to Marty's with your unique tone and flavour! Fantastic! really one of the best interpretations to this amazing solo!

[Vntilator]

Awesome Gus. I think it's one of the most iconic solos ever in metal.

[panossant]

That was awesome! Είσαι θεός ήλιος καλοκαιρινός!

[cantstartafire]

By far the cleanest version I've seen! Thanks so much.

[derrickm]

Great job Gus ! and I like your Jackson guitars !

[brianrust]

Nailed it Gus! You played it cleaner and smoother than anyone I've ever heard before. Thanks that was a fun video to watch! I'm a big Megadeth fan too!

[nkdms.]

...and very casually GusG covers this freaking tough solo with ease and smooth play while others still trying 😅

[alexwerther]

you should be the ultimate guitarist in Megadeth!!

[mikkokankala]

This is my favorite solo too! Great playing Gus!

[anthonylumpkins]

I will never get tired of hearing this solo. I just love how the section before it has this uneasy feeling, like you know something is coming and you get this massive payoff.

[blpl]

i missed those breathtaking pinch harmonics of yours in this take though be well and productive with your art im proud of you for being a greek one like me and thrilled for the chance watching you shredding from almost 1 meter near \ii/

[franciscopimenta]

The way you made it look so easy to play is the true certificate of your incredible skills as a guitar player!

[aquilarossa]

Awesome!

This solo is difficult. I used to dream of being able to play the Mr Crowley solos and thought I never would be able to. I finally got there in my 30s. It was not as much of a buzz as I expected. I just keep nitpicking over ways I need to get them more accurate etc. I have tried Tornado Of Souls, but it's still beyond me, especially getting the right feel on the bends and vibrato. Maybe one day.

Getting to that level requires discipline like a top footballer or something. If I do not put in the regular training, I will not be able to maintain the higher levels. If I slack off, my picking is the first to go to sh1T. I am left handed but play right handed, so the picking hand gets kind of lazy and is happy for the fretting hand to be the boss. Okay for legato, but not for shred where the pick needs to be leading the way.

[rickbrunet]

Most impressive sir! You are awesome. One of the best solos in a song out there!

[NikolajChristensen]

That was fantastic. Both controlled and outrageous at the same time. Loved it.
