Most Technically Skilled Megadeth Guitarists

The Top Ten
1 Marty Friedman Martin Adam "Marty" Friedman is an American guitarist, known for his tenure as the lead guitarist for heavy metal band Megadeth which spanned nearly the full decade of the 1990s, as well as Cacophony alongside Jason Becker until 1989. Friedman has resided in Tokyo, Japan since 2003, where he has hosted Japanese television programs such as Rock Fujiyama and Jukebox English.

If he could keep up with Dave Mustaine's extremely technical rhythm, and since he was a much better soloist, you get the picture.

2 Dave Mustaine David Scott "Dave" Mustaine (born September 13, 1961) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, actor and author. Mustaine is best known as a pioneer in Thrash Metal, being the former lead guitarist of Metallica before his dismissal in 1983, leading to finding and becoming the front man of his own band Megadeth shortly after.

Super fast solos, super fast rhythms, just listen to the Killing is My Business album and Peace Sells, Good Mourning Black Friday, and just bask in the immense skill.

3 Chris Poland

Having to keep up with Mustaine can be hard, and he did, with the wierdest and hardest solos.

4 Kiko Loureiro Pedro Henrique "Kiko" Loureiro is a Brazilian Heavy metal guitarist, best known as a member of the bands Angra and Megadeth.

The most technical soloist by far. Not much impressive Rhythm playing though.

5 Chris Broderick Christopher Alan Broderick is an American musician, best known as the former lead and rhythm guitarist of the American heavy metal band Megadeth.

There were brutal rhythms on the Endgame album, and he is possibly the second most technical soloist.

6 Glen Drover Glen Drover is a Canadian heavy metal musician from Missisauga, Ontario, Canada, where he currently resides.

He was also really good.

7 Jeff Young

Keeping up with Mustaine at when he was the most technical rhythm player in the metal world this side of Chuck Schuldiner is quite difficult. He could also nail some of the weird Chris Poland solos live.

8 Jay Reynolds

In the band in 87, when Mustaine was at his best.

9 Al Pitrelli

The System Has Failed album didn't seem that technical to me.

10 Kerry King Kerry Ray King is an American musician, best known as a guitarist for the American thrash metal band Slayer.

Yes he was in the band during the early years of trying to find a guitarist.
