Marty Friedman's solo on Tornado of Souls is considered the greatest thrash metal guitar solo ever recorded. Rather than rely on the shred techniques common to metal at the time, Friedman incorporated exotic scales and deeply melodic phrasing that gave the solo a haunting, almost Eastern European quality. Guitar World ranked it the greatest metal guitar solo of all time, and it remains a benchmark for technical and musical guitar playing in heavy music.
