MEGADETH guitarist Chris Broderick is featured in a video interview with CosmoGaming.com. An excerpt is available below.

Q: What kind of music do you listen to when you have free time?

Broderick: "I listen to a variety of things, but I'm really particular within individual categories. I listen to a lot of flamenco, classical music, very virtuosic metal such as Greg Howe, Paul Gilbert, all the shredder and stuff like that. I also listen to jazz and a lot of other kinds of music, so that's what I listen to."

Q: Do you try to pick up guitar styles from the different types of music and then see how you can incorporate them into metal?

Broderick: "Absolutely, I have some songs that work well with flamenco guitar on top of some very heavy metal riffs. So yeah, I always try and do that. I remember I used to play this song that was kind of jazz metal, and I know other people have done that as well but I do try to amalgamate all of these different styles."

Q: Do you have any tips for any up and coming guitarists or people who are in bands?

Broderick: "Definitely just play out as much as you can and try and expose yourself. In music in general, trying to get to where you can actually make a living doing what you love takes a lot of luck. It isn't just what you can do on the instrument, but also the people you meet and how good your social skills are and all of that. Take every chance you can and keep playing, and try and stay humble because there are tons of great players out there."
