![Marty Friedman - Undertow Live [HD]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/-oLf2cVUyZc/mqdefault.jpg)
All his solos are so well crafted, every phrase has something to say. It’s not just technique, it’s natural passion and feel🤯 fun fact; he speaks fluent Japanese🤟🏻
He would be good at sushi bars then:)
He'd lived there for awhile. Hosted a TV show i remember correctly.
His home is Japan. He has appeared on TV there hundreds of times and he is known by virtually everyone there.
Yep!
He lives there.
Marty has always been underrated, he's not a "shredder" but since he joined Megadeth people tended to label him a "Metal" guitarist when it was clear in his playing that he was more than your typical Metal guitarist. I think it's great he as a musician made a change, left the metal scene and started branching out and exploring himself musically. To me, that is the definition of being a musician!
I mean, listen to 6:40 - 7:00 so much emotion in the choices of notes, the bending, the vibrato...incredibly emotional playing! His vibrato at 6:46 is so beautiful!
👍
Marty has never been underrated! We all know he's one of the best.
@murilo ninj: WTF that bullshit! Marty was in "Cacophony" b4 Wings of Pegasus...opps meant Jason Becker joined David Lee Roth. That Metal as fuck n was under a METAL only label and he had plenty of metal songs in his 4 solo all instrumental albums b4 he joined Megadeth. He not underrated he just not as famous as other cats. Just like Alex Skolnick(Testament) he is well known too but not as famous as others.
Marty is closer to Buckethead and Steve Vai than Kirk Hammett
@@strawman3059 totally....
Anyone that survived mega Dave, must be good..
👍
Big time!!! Dave is a great guy. He looks tough, He is tough but he's a nice guy. Marty gets along very well with Dave.
Man I love Marty. He is all about the music. Marty brought his melodic sensibilities to Megadeth and they made their best music with him. Never plays fast fast without it fitting what he's trying to do melodically. He and Dimebag are my favorites in that regard. They can both shred, but thats not what their solos are about.
👍
His ability to create, develop a theme and give it an arc is unparalleled. His playing has gone through a few phases over the years, but he's at his peak.
His inner Brian May is pretty strong here.
👍
WOW! Right from the start--the way he bends his notes...SO expressive & dynamic-- like a singer singing a song. Love his passion!
👍
Thank you so much for putting this out there. What musician! What a tune ... And that note at 8:30 ... wow!! I'd never heard of this song until seeing this video, and I've listened to the song about 10 times the last day. Thank you!
Cool!
This is why he left Megadeth. Have to respect him for doing his thing .
👍
Soaring melody that never quits! Fascinating to see the hand and fingerings positions on the right hand.
👍
I loved this, I've not listened to him play alone but I really liked watching him play as well as listening!
Cool!
Tasty video as always, Phil. Marty is a truly gifted player, one of those rare players who become so advanced that they dive into Indian & other cultural learnings - many players do not travel that far with their playing.
👍
He takes you on a wonderful musical trip and you just will never where he goes but you are sure will enjoy the trip..i love his dragons kiss he did in the 80's
👍
Marty does some technique instruction on guitar world's you tube channel. He's a funny guy while being quite serious but he says he has no idea how to sweep or hybrid pick. He says it's boring because once you learn to play fast you have nothing if you can't emote what you're feeling. Great video Fil.
Amen!
he sweeps in basically every single piece of music he plays though, especially during his time in megadeth
Discovering him was so important for me as a guitarist. I understood why sometimes I sounded good over a track and other times I sounded generic. Understanding the music is essential to communicate with the audience. I'll always be grateful.
I really like his fluidity. I enjoy his speed stuff but his melodic phrasing is really wonderful too. Watching your videos has made me a better player. Thanks again Brother!!!🤙
No problem!
So much experience, skill, and raw talent so obvious here. One of the best!
👍
Marty seems like a very humble person... So he would probably argue about what I'm about to say... But I think even Ludwig van.. and Johann Sebastian.. would idolize him... I know I do... He is a great inspiration...
Perfect call Fil. Can’t wait for this one.
Thanks!
He's one of the most underrated guitarists, and he's among the best of the best, and maybe he's the best for me, he's not only high skilled, he's a virtuose, his techniques and feeling are out of this world...
Any player that I've seen on EMG TV has been surprisingly amazing. Great sound and performances. Good choice
👍
The opening notes gave me goose bumps, his guitar looks like it was forged in fire .❤it. Rock
👍
Damn. That solo makes me want to be a better person
marty is at the top of his game! hes played with becker and mustaine no slouchs and easily held his own. when it comes to bending, sense of melody, vibrato this guy has style to burn! hes the top of the top guitarist around.
Marty has really come into his own! Beautiful melodic guitarist I really enjoy listening to his playing! Seems to be always classed as a shredder, not at all! He certainly can shred but his music now is all about melody and feel! Awesome...! He and Jason Becker had an amazing alliance with their music. Legends!! Great vid Fil!👌👌👌👌👌
👍
My favourite guitarist of all time brother
Been listening to him for only 2-3 days Fil.... Damn Bro.. are you a freaking Rock 😇😂💯👊🏻🎸🎸🎸🤘🏼
Great video! He is amazing! Thanks for your excellent analysis.
No problem!
Just beautiful.
👍
Yes!!! Thank you fil for covering marty
No problem!
Marty is awesome🎸🔥🤘! ❤️ Your analysis 🤘
Thanks!
... OUCH ..!! WHAT SOLE ..!! ... GREAT PLAYING ..!!! ...
Thank you so much for this interesting video 👍 big Marty fan here
I wonder if the scalloped frets at 3, 5, 7, 9, 12 etc. allow him to feel his way around the fretboard without looking! As he never looks once in this video!
Possibly!
Marty is one of my favorite guitar player.....
Great choice, Fil especially after the Jason Becker feature. I love the soulful playing here. Mentioned owning Speed Metal Symphony plus Go Off. Was overjoyed when Marty joined Megadeth and loved Rust In Peace. Fave after all this time is his solo for Youthanasia's "Addicted To Chaos". Bought this after of hearing Train Of Consequences on the radio (yep, those were the days) but that other lead is killer. Hell, gave it 3 spins before this comment. Worth a listen.
Cool!
I could never sit through a whole instrumental song until I heard Undertow
Just a thought her. Tony Joe White just passed away this last week and he was a really great singer/guitarist noted for a few late 60's hits like Poke Salad Annie. He was much more than that though. Very minimalist electric guitar...mostly pick less. If you haven't done him before I think you'd like him as I know your love for dissecting a guitarists style...especially those who play like it's effortless while pumping out some solid sounds...he also sings and plays harmonica......He's southern and sounds it.
Thumbs up for Tony Joe White. Sorry to hear he passed. It's been happening a lot lately.
Yeah I'll do one in the future 👍
You certainly are turning this old timer on to a bunch of guys I wouldn't have given a 2nd thought.
Cool!
My face all warm and fuzzy! Not melted off!
😂
Had the pleasure of meeting him after the guitar masterclass in Guildford the other day! What a nice guy and a phenomenal talent.
Cool!
thx for your insight on Marty great trak choice . Tony Joe White sadly died on the 24 long live his memory , Hope you all have a great day and best og wishes for this halloween
Amen.
Good job Fil !👍 🎼
Thanks!
Another great video of yours. I must say that I think that the guitar is like that because this video is a promotion for EMG and they probably didn't want to promote another brand. I follow Marty a lot on the internet and the EMG TV is the only place where I saw him play that guitar.
When the drums kick in, role credits to epic 80s film😂.
BTW great stuff, it seems he has no place to go at times but somehow finds a way.
👍
Marty was gold in Megadeth.🤟
Magical
👍
Never really watched him. The right hand was really cool. The little hybrid picks. And his bends and vibrato we're too notch.
Thanks for mentioning the guitar. I was wondering what was going on with it.
👍
Did I hear "Misty" in the beginning? What you said about playing an arpeggio/sweeping as a block of motion -- to fast to itemize consciously -- may relate to how we read words as blocks of letters, and phrases as blocks of words. We do "read" and "write" music after all, so playing would be analogous to speech, that is, arranging abstract symbols into patterns and then translating them into motion (the motion of the strings, the air, the vocal chords, etc.). Do you know where in the brain music is processed?
Yes that's what's interesting about reading music, sometimes it is physically impossible to read and play so fast, so it has to be learned in isolation.
How about some Richard Thompson? Live versions best.
For acoustic - 1952 Vincent Black Lightning or Beeswing
For electric - Can't Win or Shoot Out the Lights
Or the amazing Guitar Heroes his song about being a teenager in the 60s sitting in his bedroom trying to play like his heroes including, Django Reinhart, Les Paul, Chuck Berry, James Burton, and Hank Marvin, with segments where he shows what he learned. There's a version on TH-cam with his trio from "Teatro Nuovo Treviglio 03 10 2015". The video isn't great but the sound good.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Marty Friedman emotional melodic player I like his compose.
Really enjoy your channel. Growing up in the 60s and 70s I got to hear a lot of Bands living in San Francisco and music was so important. People I suggest you should listen to would be Rory Gallagher and his unusual style and contrast it to Leslie West in his Mountain days.
Thanks!
Beautiful song, it tore at my heart. If I had been in a different mood, I would have cried. Don't make fun, it's a chick kind of thing. 👌
Obviously such a huge Talent, guys that can play like that and really never look at their left or right hand.
👍
Such a cool guitar. Looks like its cut from an old ass front door.
I tend to comment before you finish your video. At least I'm watching right lol.
😂👍
No telling, could literally be a custom build using older wood or could be made to look like that (fire damage).
Marty Friedman is an amazing guitarist. However, this is the only song I really care for on this album. The high water mark - for me at least - are Marty's solos on Megadeth's "Rust in Peace" which were WAY ahead of everyone else as far as using exotic scales and modes in a metal context. As far as his current album goes, I appreciate the massive amount of technique on display, but the compositions are lacking, in my opinion at least. By contrast, Gretchen Menn's "Abandon All Hope" has incredible compositions, along with super good technique. Definitely check out Gretchen Menn. Thanks for featuring Marty too. While I have some issues with his solo efforts, he's one of the best guitarists around today.
his new album "wall of sound" is about a hundred times better than inferno. check it out!:)
Thanks!
One of the things I like about your channel is not only is it fun watching you analyze and shed new light on my personal guitar heroes (Page, Trucks, Cale, SRV, J.Beck, J. Winter, Skydog and many others) but I get to learn about guitarists who for whatever reason I've been unfamiliar with.
GreenFlash.... same with me!...😊
Cool!
Fil, shouldn’t you be in bed now! …4:35 am right?
Marty Friedman's 'Dragon's Kiss' album is a guitar masterpiece.
My favourite instrumental album ever !! Forbidden City is sick!
🤘
Finally! That's what I'm talking about! ❤
👍
0:18 oh my god he’s picking normal!!!!
Megadeth - Rust In Peace, the pinnacle of power thrash. Marty is amazing. Great vid Fil!
👍
Marty Friedman is on a show where Lisa-X is there and it is all about "prodigy". Marty seems to be an enthusiastic and genuine guy. He moved to Japan to be more challenged I believe .
New video from Fil, like first, then watch 👍🏻
Haha thanks!
Hey Fil,
Please check out Lost Symphony “Take Another Piece” instrumental piece featuring Marty Friedman, Nuno Bettencourt, Alex Skolnick, Kelly Kereliuk, and Richard Shaw. Amazingly beautiful all instrumental piece. Well constructed videos on TH-cam, where we can see them all.
Why use fret markers when you can use scalloped frets? Killer idea
very cool
👍
Can you do a video about ex-UFO guitarist Michael Schenker? Thanks.
He's here already somewhere but it was a recent performance!
@@wingsofpegasusHow about an older performance of Michael and why not do one of Dave Mustaine
Reminds me of Chariots of Fire.🔥
Fil! I kid you not, I watched this video about a week ago and wanted to suggest it to you! I love Megadeth! One question: on your next vid can you critic Marty's Japanese? Now THAT was impressive, eh? Another great video!
Haha he could be saying anything, I wouldn't know!
In about 2 weeks I get to go see Generation Axe, third row center....WHOOP WHOOP!!!!
I'll record Vai playing "For the love of God" or "Tender Surrender" on my S9+ and post it on my youtube....I'll get good close ups of his playing. :)
And Bettencourt with "flight of the bumblebee"
Cool!
Magnifique! Merci beaucoup! (French lesson level 2 ;) )
Merci!
Loved Marty's style since the Cacophany days. Thanks for this, it's an excellent showcase as to why "having fast bits" is not the same as "shredding". :-)
👍
Great topic Fil. I like Friedman too. Very unique guitar player. The only thing i don’t like him is he often throw bad comments into other guitar players. For me a real musician should never do like those kind of stuffs.
He gives honest opinions about technique. He may be a bit of a jerk about how stuff should be played, but he's as good as any Guitarist around now except for my favorite Jeff Beck. Beck is so different you can't make a comparison.
Nice, I can hear a 'T-wah' (of some type) and lots of processing, but the emotion comes through clearly
👍
He uses a Maxon AF9, all settings down to zero.
Marty the Melody Master. If there was an order of guitar sages, Marty would be a part of the head council
👍
I'm not a metal fan and I don't really know who this guy is but I certainly appreciate his for the most part no nonsense approach. Couldn't help but wonder what happened to the Les Paul. Looks like it survived a fire or something
Yeah!
I can hear the George Lynch influence in his playing.
😂👍
PS; a good youtube track is "live at the basement 2008"
Did you ever do the Jason becker one? Can't find it on your channel..
I did but it was blocked on copyrights unfortunately.
I was so disappointed with "Inferno" not because it was a bad album but because I've been a fan so long. I bought "Dragon's Kiss" new on cassette (I did mention I was old) and that album is incredible. While their was lots of shred on it, like every other guitarists work in the '80s, it was the first album I'd bought that really introduced me to different modes and theoretical ideas. I was a pretty new player at the time and completely self-taught so he opened up a world to me that I didn't know existed. These crazy shred metal songs that would feature a run using African scales and such. Really magical work. In that aspect I found "Inferno" disappointing. I'm sure other players would feel the opposite. Just my two pennies. Brilliant, as always, Fil.
you should check out "wall of sound" if you haven't. i think it's about a hunded times better than "inferno".
Only two players who can really turn my feeling up side down, paul gilbert & mary friedman
I don't think he looks at the fretboard once, he knows his way around it so well. Amazing.
👍
If you haven't already, could you do something on Billy McLaughlin? Because of a neurological disorder, he had to re-learn to play all of his music left-handed.
Thanks!
The way he uses his right hand.....😮
👍
it's just fucking beautiful. he is the best there is imo
🤘
great review,can you react to chris poland one of the mosy unique guitarists ever avideo of him playing with his band ohm with nick menza maybe? theres propably 3 to 4 videos of the band jamming,i suggest those videos cause thre is not really a lot of video footage of chris,greetings from Greece...
Grand Funk Railroad g.co/kgs/5nRd2g
I feel such a fool - I clicked on this as I was intrigued to know what interest Fil would have in Marty Feldman, as I misread it! Perhaps you could do an analysis of Marty Feldman anyway, Fil?
Ya know , when good guitar players settle down....everyone can enjoy
👍
Marty is the greatest at arpeggios.... His friend Jason Becker was also amazing with arpeggios but their technique is noticeably different... Yes Mr Friedman does have an underhand technique but the way he holds single notes will literally make a listener cry... Whereas his friend Jason Becker will make a listener think... Marty is the man,... Technically speaking Steve Vai... Is the greatest guitarist of all time... But that's only from a technical abilities standpoint... Marty Friedman will make you cry with his notes... And I value that much more because music is emotions
An analysis of Focus' "Hocus Pocus" would be interesting.
They're here somewhere!
🎸🤘🎼great video 🎼🤘🎸
he play"s in the 5th dimension
top of the top artist 🙏🤘
👍
He still does shred a bit in the video lmao
😂👍
Marty is incredible. I love all his albums, and specially The Wall of Sound... Could you make a video reaction or review of the latest album from legendary Jason Becker? Triumphant Hearts is a masterpiece. The whole world should listen the greatest guitarist of all times (at least for me). Thanks to consider it. Jason deserves the best
I did, but it got blocked unfortunately.
@@wingsofpegasus oh, what a bad luck. Thanks then. Keep on rockin' and thanks for replying. Great work. Happy new year. Love your accent
Didnt care for the intro, however after that was excellent!!!
Cant see his guitar that well on my phone but it sounds like a LesPaul Recording?
Yeah those EMG pick ups give it a unique sound!
Wings of Pegasus
Yes siree bub!
steve Howe Used one on a song called the Cactus Boogie
Give a listen if you like

Hi Fil.
You know..what
I would love too play that Guitar lol
Yeah am cheeky,however l think that Marty is related too me.
Yeah you gotta sing on that B string😎
Hi Patrick
Sorry I was late.I was at a Halloween party and watching the next morning.
Phil.....I loved your vid on Tony Iommi......although not even close to his best work.....I strongly recomend & would love to hear your take on his live performance of "Lonely is the Word" from the incarnation of Heaven and Hell band at Radio City hall....its about time for some more Iommi diversity. Cheers! P.S. great vid as usual.....
Thanks!
Have you featured John Fahey? I love your videos!
Thanks! Not yet!
It’s smooth and not in your face like his usual style.
👍
Marty Friedman is Celine Dion of the guitarists. He's just a category of his own. A level above the rest.
