He is easily the best guitarist that Megadeth has ever had.
Agree. I guess many would say Marty Friedman but I never was a fan of his.
Broderick is awesome. Just plain intimidating actually, as a player not a person. He is one seriously dedicated individual, I remember reading how even as a kid he'd spend hours and hours learning different instruments (piano, obviously guitar and a few other instruments too as I recall.)
Before Megadeth he taught, you could do a 1-on-1 lesson with him via streaming internet video, it was explained on his site. A lot of these uber guitarists seemingly need to support themselves by teaching, they're far from being big rock stars. Kinda sad. Ron Jarzombek is another one. So it makes sense he answered a pm but still - very cool!
There's a Youtube vid of him and Jeff Loomis trading solos when he was in Nevermore that's also very cool. Two utter virtuosos. What I enjoy about that too is knowing that he's fully classically trained while Loomis can't even read music - many ways to climb that mountain.
PS - HAHA while typing this the previous reply regarding Marty came in.
