Cool,,,, I’m using this video for my own Dean guitar period correct research in ‘24. BLTN, thanks!

I could tell it's him with just a power chord, there is something special in his sound.

Fan: "Oh so it does metal, too?" Poland: Hol' up. *Plays Black Friday for the first time in a long time* Sometimes, things just click. That guy right there managed to get the Black Friday riff out of Chris Poland.

I love how at 1:25 he switches from his index to the thumb to hold the G note on the E string so that he's ready for the inverted power chords. Also love to see the amount of muscle memory that kicks in in various places. It's like it suddenly clicks at 1:16. Such a great player. Edit: They were all about these little optimizations so they can sound insanely sharp, another example is Dave's spider chord technique.

Yooo 1:55 when he goes back to the riff and plays it again. Absolutely nails it ughh. That pinch and it just sounds so Peace Sells. Poland is sooo fun to watch

gilbert had to tag the first solo,signaling "ok next,

Poland was excellent on excellent album peace sells...

- Красотень! )

Chris is THE sound of CLASSIC Megadeth. I love how he combines blues, jazz, thrash and his own fusioned, legato spin on whatever he plays. Very influential, at least for me. Marty is also a legend but Chris has something more ethereal and otherworldly to his melodic line. Could be the jazzer stuff, I know he is a big Jan Hammer fan.

Megadeths best guitarist

this guy is truly special

just saw OHM at the baked potato last night, it was incredible!!

Always has been amazing, even back when he was on dope he was next level , respect this man's sober journey and his playing 💯

Chris Poland Is definitely one of my guitar hero’s

The way he holds the fretboard is quite counter-intuitive, but it works quite well for him. Such an interesting player and unlike anyone else! I love those Holdsworthian microtones he pulls off with the whammy bar

Frikn frikn awesome!

Chris Poland , one of the greats for sure

Andy is Dynamite..dont push the button, please !

Could someone please tell me whats up with Chris' index finger?

What a fucking beast. I can't believe how much he plays WITHOUT using his index finger

Great playing, tone and dynamics from everyone. Apparently the sound guy thought it was Andy Timmons and guests.

He said in the end: "That´s all I got......" Cheers, Chris, you´re unique !! Awesome guitar !!!

Amazing Andy Timmons ...!!! Great Tone , great playing ...!!

Mark Lettieri is outstanding too . His outside notes are really cool .

People curious about this picking technique should take a look at the "Reverse Dart Thrower Picking Motion" video by Troy Grady. It's possible to play insane fast with this reverse pick grip.

Bridge of Sighs!!! 👍🏻👍🏻🔥 🎸🔥

Hey guys, what's the name of this song please?

Andy :)

That guitar is asking for playing something like "take no prisoners" from Megadeth.

Chris can play circles around anybody. Sorry, can't change my mind.

wow you can really feel his jazz influence. I wish he has some side projects where he can really explore other side of his playing. BLS is great, but I think people want to hear other side of him.

😊👍

Just amazing, amazing musicians, but Timmons is from another planet 😆.

Fuckin love this dudes playing. So glad he’s still around rocking out for people to hear.

And what about Mark Lettieri solo?

Uncle Ben!!!!! What a freaking lineup!

I still say Peace is a more complete album that Rust. That’s just me. To each their own though. I think if they had one more album after that we would’ve heard something insane. People say people can’t replicate Marty’s solos. Have you seen and heard Marty trying to emulate Poland? He was never able to do it or come close. To me Poland, Marty and Broderick were the best guitarists Megadeth ever had. Again, that’s just my personal preference. Everyone’s different and offer something unique. Poland is a phenomenal Jazz player as well. Glad he’s still around playing music.

Uncle Ben Eller on bass!

One of the greatest soloists ever. I love Chris Poland!

what is the title of song in this video?

I like that song. Paint the devil on the wall!!!

what model is that guitar?

Awesome !!

Get "Return to Metalopolis" -- incredible album

Strong ass middle finger.. he uses his middle finger like I use my index finger.

And this is why he's my all time favourite!

Beautiful tone and vibrato. Imagine if he had full mobility of his index finger.

Poland still my favorite Megadeth guitarist besides Dave, still have my original Peace Sells concert shirt. Also keep in mind, once again what a sick riff writer Mr. Mustaine still is.

Rocking a Nick Mensa shirt !

Man you can really hear the peace sells tone in this. Perfect example of tone is in the fingers.
