Chris Broderick and Gus G are both on the cover of the September 2015 issue of Guitar World! These shredders sat down to teach other some shred licks and talk about their influences and some new projects.
That was totally cool I thought as well! Being a M.Friedman fan myself. Chris really is a true professional and conducts himself as such.🤘☢🤘 Also a phenomenal musician. Hell they all are for the most part. Lol🤘😁
They are both great guitar players and most importantly great human beings, down to Earth. I had privilege to hang out with both of them. Gus G after concert in Saint Vitus in Brooklyn and Chris just last week at Gramercy Theater. I am blessed.
meh, wouldn't go that far, he's fast and technical like a classically trained guitar player is, but it's boring with no soul, he has no style, you can tell a player that has style, Chris is robotic.
Every generation takes guitar playing to a different level. RU-vid was a game changer...i had to stick my head between 2 speakers and learn by ear...scratching my records playing a part over and over.
Oh and...Go see Gus G. Holy shit that guy is great live. Best live guitar tone and accuracy I've ever heard. I took some guitar snob friends with me and everybody's jaw was on the floor. No offense to Broderick (who is great), but the one area Gus G is a monster is in string muting, which is a huge thing. He's playing on Blackouts here and they are hot pickups.
Djent are shredders too...but they use 8 strings...not only 6 !!! (Messhugah, Conquering Dystopia,etc...). Open your mind and don't be trapped in the 6th dimension...;-).
its nice to know that shredders know more theory than people think. much more. and I also enjoy minor 9ths myself 😂😂😂 and if I can get a diminished chord or scale in there, heck yeah. these guys are great, I love these guys.
Its funny that a lot of metal lead guitarists may not have been "A" students in school, but listening to them describe the ideas behind their solos can be like listening to an engineer or physicist talk shop, lol.
I met Chris at the San Diego airport about 8-9 years ago. I'd been out of musio for little bit and recognized Dave Mustaine but not the other guys (Megadeth was heading somewhere out of San Diego). I'm embarrassed to admit I didn't know who Chris was, but he was super cool and super nice.
It looks like these guys shop for clothes at the same place, in addition to both playing the same style of music and wearing their hair the same way. They're clearly soul mates. Sort of like the heavy metal Siegfried & Roy, with guitars and tight black t-shirts in place of lions and glittery sport coats.
Chris really respected Marty, and I think without Shawn in the band he would have continued to play through the rough patches he experienced, I really hope Dave and Marty get back together for a celebration of sorts one day, not as a permanent member, just maybe play an anniversary show, would be so cool for Dave to get all of his guys back together for a singular shred show. shoutout to Al Pitrelli! where you at!
My kids (Not teens yet) love Gus G., Satriani, & Bettencourt! I think it’s the hair & the tone lol! For me it’s the style of playing, tone, & approach to rock guitar. I have to listen to some more Chris Broderick. I’ve only heard the ‘System has failed’ album with MEGADETH. I thought maybe Chris wasn’t allowed to be as creative with Dave, but I’m curious as to what he can do with his skills.
It was Chris Poland playing on The system has failed, not Chris Broderick. Poland was with Megadeth for their first 2 albums. Amazing guitarist and better than Broderick IMO.
What I like so much about b’s guitar is that despite being a seven string the upper strings still have life. Many times 7 strings don’t have those singing tones but his mid range reminds me of batio. When he bends it has a nice wail to it
just started watching this and had to stop and comment on how smart chris is,in giving respect and praise to marty friedman. i went to clash of the titans tour in the 90's,ive been a musician for most of my life,marty friedman completely shredded that whole show.
