@@trenken you need to listen to valley of eternity forbidden city and thunder march demo version hes melodies a mix of exotic romantic like chopin and metal and that whats makes him so unique although nowadays his sense of melody is kind of fcked due to over jpop
"that's the way i would do it." holy shit marty, you are probably in the top 5 of guitarists to come out of the 80's. and unlike others *cough yngwie cough* you're very modest and humble about your playing. very inspiring.
lol @ the argument raging, think what you want...this is blues. Blues comes from sound feeling, from within, nothing to do with scales. Hammet plays nothing but minor pentatonics and hes as blue as a red thing. True there are better blues players, but i bet martys blues is farrr batter than their shred. This guy has a totally unique style and approach to the way he plays, the solo in this tune is like a story, theres a question for 3 bars, then answers it in the 4th. Brilliant. Marty > You.
I guess I'm forever colored by being aware of him since his Cacophony days... Jason seemed faster, cleaner, with perhaps an (arguably) deeper knowledge of music theory, but Marty stood out with an unorthodox approach and that 'thing' that makes him stand out as a unique player.
His melodies have the power to bring me to my knees, which is all that matters now. Not the stuff he's playing here, but in his solo albums. The most beautiful guitar lines I've ever heard. Fast lines don't register anymore with me, it's all about the melody.
Marty has the more fuckin' feeling in his playing than any other rock guitarist (and I love a lot of them.) It's just the way it is. Listen to his solo's on the megadeth albums. They were pure genius. He fuses so many styles together, and it doesn't sound like some douche bag running scales as fast as he can. It's just music.
marty sholdn't be playing any type of blues.. .. what i know him to be amazing for is his CRAZZY cool exotic style and his strange picking style. i love everything he does when he goes crazy with exotic scales
Martyo can play anything and he loves what he's playing. Tht's what makes him an awesome guitar player, and one of my favorites too. Personally I love Blues as well as Thrash...
Marty has a trademark sound and trademark licks. What I was referring to was the fact that a lot of people outside of the Megadeth realm would have no clue.
@RSCao but thats not how you get an emotional response. you get one....well, you cant really explain why. you either do or you dont. i know people or are bored to death listening to blues. its not because who they are listening to isnt playing with feeling, its because they just cant respond to that music for whatever reason. again, once the notes are in the air, the emotional input means nothing. all it is is a sound. and the listener either likes it, or they dont.
@RSCao point being??? if YOU dont feel emotion from someones playing, all that means is you didnt get an emotional response from their playing. it doesnt mean they didnt play with any. proof of this is all over youtube. ppl are always arguing over who does and doesnt play with sould. if people could detect how much emotion someone plays with there would be no arguing. the emotion you feel is your own, not the artist's. im not sure how or why someone would play without feeling it anyway.
@BLUEScrazy i'm sure he acknowledges whatever hendrix did to music, but that's not what we are talking about. we are talking about hendrix's influence on marty's style. there is none, and he has said he can't stand that style of play and thus doesn't play that way. nothing i've heard him play other than this one blues solo sounds remotely hendrixesque. i don't see how he would be playing any different if hendrix never lived. the name les paul comes to mind.
i dont know, those guys sound boring compared to this. they use way less notes and are quite frankly, boring. and no, as long as you know your theory not anyone can play this. marty does this without knowing very much theory at all. it's about hearing melodies in your head. blues snobs are the worst. they profess that their type of music is impossible to play by anyone who hasn't "lived the blues". AKA never learned how to play their guitar worth a shit.
It's always comparing and calling names -_- Just look at this guy as an individual player, not in a "ooh he want to be Hendrix" sort of way. Pretty interesting to see someone play blues like that on a Jackson. Who would have thought that.
@joerve128 I got to say this isn't blues. Hendrix knew the blues because he was back in the time where everyone knew how to play the blues not just add some pentatonics and blues scales together and call it the blues.
@BLUEScrazy he is not influenced by hendrix, there's an interview he did where he talks about how he wanted to get as far away from that way of playing a possible.
lol agreed. this argument about "theoretically correct blues" is ridiculous anyways. the people who came up with blues didn't know what the fuck theory was.
@BLUEScrazy Definetly, they are pioneers on a big scale. Whether or not someone likes them is a personal opinion. There are guitarists who openly admit a Hendrix influence and those who hide and deny it. Whether or not you like Hendrix he still had talent for his time. Today, virtuosos are much more common thanks to pioneers of various instruments. Hell, artists like Hendrix music is still better than 60% the stuff that comes out today.
@BLUEScrazy I don't want to get into your debate thing here, but I can put money on it that Marty has listened to Hendrix at least once. One of Jason Becker's favorite guitarists was and still is Hendrix. All those years hanging with Jason Becker he has definetly heard and maybe even played a Hendrix tune. Its kind of like the singers who try their hardest not to be like Robert Plant, but always end up being like Robert Plant on stage and even in their singing.
Please Note I didn't resort to calling you Pathetic as you did me... You named some of my Favourite blues players here but even a Marty fan such as your self would agree these guys mentioned are far superior Blues men then Marty, as Marty is Far superior as a Metal Guitarist. I hope you really like these guys you mentioned & just didn't look them up on google but if you did look them up just now at least you know about them so my work here is done.! ! ! Yours truly... Mr Pathetic
Actually, I was asking that question to a 19y/o named melkenkookies, Who thought Marty Friedman is a Full time Blues man now & the Best, But you named some true pros.... & Yes, Even Marty knows it's not Blues music just blues licks over a moving bass rhythm... P.s Kirk Fletcher, I will look him up! Cheers
Idiots who slag this off for not being 100% blues need to understand tht this is an orginal style he is playing with not something imitated from other blues players. It has a hint of a jazzy feel to it also, which makes it even more orignal and better than the standard "pentatonic prison" that nearly all blue players play from
Im sick of hearing of people knocking this for not beign 100% blues. Who cares?? Half of all blues guitarists couldn't play anything outside the blues style anyway so they get all childish and defensive about it, in fact; why did hendrix beome so innovative...Yes you guessed it , because he stepped outside of the pentatonic prison of 'typical' blues style!
LOL! All these people arguing over Marty's wrist..ha.ha to settle this...he plays that way VERY deliberatley to avoid palm muting strings. So forget the fancy horror storys of him putting his hand through a car window to steal a purse to pay for his mums groceries, he plays that way deliberately! GET IT>???
I think people who crtical this are soooo missing the point, he was giving an illustration on how you can use the dynamics of blues to influence/enhance your own playing no matter which style... Why can't you see it for what it is... a excellent improvisation!
@rhythm78 i`m sure Kirk don`t care what somebody are thinking about him) remeber liryks from nothing else matters "never carefull what they do....never carefull what they say......" or "forever trust who we are, and nothing else matters"
Kirk doesn't suck. Think of those awesome Metallica rifts and (some solos) like creeping death, ...and justice for all, unforgiven, one and fade to black but yes i agree Marty is definitely a more high-skilled and versatile guitarist than Kirk.
@denukio Is easy to play the blues like the olds, but dificult to create your personal sound on it, and that´s what makes a great blues player. If you sound like BBKING you´re doing it wrong, cuz that´s BBKING sound not yours.
Great player , great instructional video { its called Melodic Control} But like he says himself he doesn't really like blues and thats what is obvious . Listen to Stevie Ray Vaughn soloing and you know what i mean.
yea. i agree. some people say that you can't even compare them for that reason. :) but yea...hendrix does deserve more credit because he made his stuff up...when now...we just add onto things and change some stuff around. :)
when he played with jason, he used a lot of legato right? because with that weird picking technique l bet he couldnt keep up with jason´s fast alternate picking. am l right? l don´t know much about cacophony
i completely agree with you except 1 point Marty knows theory far more than the usual pentatonic scales...he knows how to fuse notes of which two scales n shit, though i think thats by ear :S
@BigAndyTS Yeah, I'm just gonna learn one note on the guitar. Just one note. And like, man, I'm just gonna put so much FEELING into that one note it's gonna be oozing out like a fuckin one man bukkake all over the place. Everyone's just gonna FEEL it so hard. Then everyone will realize that all this 'technique' stuff is garbage cuz music is all about FEELING and if you play too many notes then you must not REALLY be FEELING it.
@Dtheganoosh Dave isn't a great singer, but he's even said himself "I'm not a singer, I'm a vocalist", but his style is as every bit memorable as other singers, in the same way that Kirk is memorable, however. Megadeth lyrics are nowhere near shit. They display a level of intelligence that you don't see in most bands. Kirk had the same influences as everyone else, where Marty varies. There's loads Marty could do that kirk couldn't Cacophony was proof, as is his solo career.
@Dtheganoosh thats why they're pretty equal bands.metallica is fun and cool live,only they need more punch they lack that live.megadeth is a technical wow you'lle be amazed when seeing them live,only the shit mustaine puts out makes you drop you're jaw.it's very distinctive and unike while simple the guy plays for thrash metal and his style is a omen to that.to me friedman is the only guitarist that could knock dave over.daves singing is garbage that is the - in megadeth.
@Rhythm78 I dont think there is anything Marty can do that Kirk can't. I've seen them both shred, they just have different styles Like any guitarists. Now in saying that I'm not sure why Kirk has gone Wah crazy, but instead of just trying to play fast to make up for Deths subpar singing, horrible lyrics and the majority lack of in ur faceness, hammett adds something to the music, that's what a solo is all about. Yes show off technical skill but if we cant feel like you mean it why bother. Wet
hundred guitarists sound like Kirk. None sound like marty. Thats my point. Im not talking about tallica vs mega. It takes talent to be a soloist. Kirk would never be able to pull it off. Metallica rules as a unit. A guitarist myself, I have been able to learn just about all Kirks solos (riddled with wah effect to distract his subpar ability) Ive been playing for 22 years, and cant nail down one Marty solo. You can have your opinion. Ask any guitarist. His solos are complex, contrary to Kirks.
EXACTLY!! Compare Metallica to Megadeth all ya want.. but you cannot compare Marty to Kirk. Im pretty sure even Kirk would say "oh he's way better". Marty has pioneered virtuoso playing. Kirk has pioneered nothing. Him being a part of the thrash movement doesnt count, because that's done as a unit.. not just by himself. Im talking innovation, originality, style, technical ability, which kirk has none. Done get me wrong, Kirk is a solid and good player,but not original or different in any way.
@toforlaw ..... SRV was the reason I picked up the guitar in the first place. But I am happy to see your comment because I am sure very soon (I hope) you will discover the 500 different ways SRV could play the same note and when you do, you are gonna feel miserable to have deprived your self of those 500 notes for so long. When you say "SRV sucks and Marty is balls!!" then I wonder whether you really understand what even Marty plays at all??
@neoclassic09 lol maybe that's what you're talking about; im just saying that he is influenced by hendrix because he doesn't want to play like him. There is no such thing as "not influenced by him" if he's ever listened to a hendrix record. Marty can only be "not influenced by hendrix" if he's never heard jimi hendrix in his life. and anyway, anyone today who plays with high gain overdriven amps owes it to hendrix whether they play like hi or not
@neoclassic09 thats the whole point of hendrix's impact on the rock scene; he was influential enough that a specific way of playing can be associated with hendrix thus people can aim to be like him or aim to be as far from him as possible. And if you think about it, no self respecting musician endeavours to be a copy of hendrix. Marty just doesn't want to be a copy, that doesn't mean he doesn't acknowledge Jimi's contribution
@neoclassic09 lol i cant stand listening to my mother that doesnt mean i dont respect her and im sure i do lot of things cos my mum taught me that way i think hendrix is kinda the same in that way, heck i don't think i like hendrix that much either but its undeniable some of the things i do have been influenced by him or influenced by people who have been influenced by him having said that everyone will be different
It's blues influenced, i wouldn't say this is blues specifically. The blues has a tradition that does not involve some of the chords he was playing over. Nevertheless that doesn't mean this isn't great. marty freakin' rocks. And to those people here who seem to think hendrix sucks, chuck in some good rock and metal and OPEN YOUR EARS to see if you can find any good rock musician who has not been influenced by hendrix some way or another. bet you marty was
first of all... chill, it's very easy to be that fucking unmannered on inet, second, ye u are right but u didn't understand a shit of what i was talking about, of course everything u said affect BUT a great guitar player can make a 100$ guitar sound like a great guitar, and marty, although the guitar in this case wasn't the best choice DID IT, that was what i was talking about and I can assure u I'm not alone, everyone who plays an instrument knows what I'm talking about
Marty's playing is so unique that even when he's playing a different genre you can still tell that its him playing
That’s so true
Whats unique about his playing?
@@trenken all bro , just try to learn a solo by marty and you will see why all said that
That's cause he's a self taught guitarist. 🙌
@@trenken you need to listen to valley of eternity forbidden city and thunder march demo version hes melodies a mix of exotic romantic like chopin and metal and that whats makes him so unique although nowadays his sense of melody is kind of fcked due to over jpop
MERCY!
fucking love that part never gets old
long live marty fuck he is really a musician
that's the way I would do it
Josh Grahm check it out
@LazyHammond91 Duude the timing is his choice he makes it so complicated and he's not even trying... xD
mmmm always slips in that exotic playing in there
@mitchtickler He is the farthest thing from Blues. Real blues rockers faded out in 70's and we got all these shitty 80's people to replace our gold.
"Jason seemed faster, cleaner, with perhaps an (arguably) deeper knowledge of music theory"
In that, you are correct.
"that's the way i would do it." holy shit marty, you are probably in the top 5 of guitarists to come out of the 80's. and unlike others *cough yngwie cough* you're very modest and humble about your playing. very inspiring.
Mercy!
Modest and humble is very inspiring....also over the top and arrogant like Yngwie is very inspiring...love them both as players and characters
That was some of the most creative blues ever.
Marty Friedman has the perfect sense of feeling and soul, his bendings and vibratos are out of this world, and this is coming from Clapton and SRV fan
lol @ the argument raging, think what you want...this is blues. Blues comes from sound feeling, from within, nothing to do with scales. Hammet plays nothing but minor pentatonics and hes as blue as a red thing. True there are better blues players, but i bet martys blues is farrr batter than their shred.

Marty sure can play the blues, such an awesome musician!
I can't stop clicking repeat
The guitar doesn't matter too much, I've always said that the perfect combination for any amazing guitarist is the fingers, the heart and the head.
SpicyDragoon brilliant agreed
Marty Friedman my favorite guitarist of all time long live Marty and Long live Megadeth!!
I guess I'm forever colored by being aware of him since his Cacophony days... Jason seemed faster, cleaner, with perhaps an (arguably) deeper knowledge of music theory, but Marty stood out with an unorthodox approach and that 'thing' that makes him stand out as a unique player.
You forgot to say that they both were outrageously soulful!
I like some of Becker's tunes but I prefer to listen to Marty.
he so amazing he can improvise on almost any style
How Marty highlights the chord changes is just incredible
@denukio you're deaf. that was not shred at all, he has the most emotion in any note of any guitarist.
This is what a true musician should be. not just sticking to one genre of music this guy is truely talented and musical
HAHA I love it. "That's the way I would do it. (Have we recorded enough yet guys?)".
everytime i watch this video..it makes me wanna cry...like a bluesy sort of cry....
oh my god thats beautiful.
no existe guitarrista con esta gran calidad interpretativa. sus solos llegan adónde otros no
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo, amigo.

***** They are satanic faces. Ones conjured from smoke similar to the ones of his latest album cover.
+1madaboutguitar You have a really incredibly fantastic imagination buddy. That's applaudable.
oh, how i love his bends from a sour note to a note within the scale!
Toca mejor que Yngwie el Blues.
Martyo can play anything and he loves what he's playing. Tht's what makes him an awesome guitar player, and one of my favorites too.
Personally I love Blues as well as Thrash...
someone farts at 1:30 :D other than that this is pure bliss
i agree sir. :D
one can play the same rig, effect settings, same lick and same guitar, but the tonality cannot be reproduced fully. XD
this song call the drunken blues by marty friedman...
I can play maybe play one or two licks that he played. I feel great. Thanks marty
Scenes is great! Totally different than.. say, Rust In Peace but still amazing. BTW, he does one of his signature lick at 1:35 ;)
@timmy47 oh Yeah i bet your way better than him.....
blues is so awesome, especially when marty plays it
it reminds me Jimi Hendrix's "Red House"
Wow. I would like to hear him play it on a les paul.
I would probably do it a tad different... wouldn't sound good though, but that's my style.
Man i hope that guitar is 18
Such a great melodic solo full of surprises that keep you listening. I love the way he plays through the changes on the turnarounds.
He is the greatest guitarist alive.
martys tone is just amazing!!!
Marty has a trademark sound and trademark licks. What I was referring to was the fact that a lot of people outside of the Megadeth realm would have no clue.
"that's the way i would do it. Mercy!"
that was awesome playing!
is there somebody on earth has picking style like marty ?
fammi farendra Zakk Wylde has a similair picking style
Dave Mustaine... They got exact same picking style, don't believe me?
Watch them play and then come back 😁
Also some Gipsy Jazz guitarists

Im talking innovation, originality, style, technical ability, which kirk has none. Done get me wrong, Kirk is a solid and good player,but not original or different in any way.
@toforlaw ..... SRV was the reason I picked up the guitar in the first place. But I am happy to see your comment because I am sure very soon (I hope) you will discover the 500 different ways SRV could play the same note and when you do, you are gonna feel miserable to have deprived your self of those 500 notes for so long.
When you say "SRV sucks and Marty is balls!!" then I wonder whether you really understand what even Marty plays at all??
@neoclassic09 lol maybe that's what you're talking about; im just saying that he is influenced by hendrix because he doesn't want to play like him. There is no such thing as "not influenced by him" if he's ever listened to a hendrix record. Marty can only be "not influenced by hendrix" if he's never heard jimi hendrix in his life.
and anyway, anyone today who plays with high gain overdriven amps owes it to hendrix whether they play like hi or not
@neoclassic09 thats the whole point of hendrix's impact on the rock scene; he was influential enough that a specific way of playing can be associated with hendrix thus people can aim to be like him or aim to be as far from him as possible. And if you think about it, no self respecting musician endeavours to be a copy of hendrix. Marty just doesn't want to be a copy, that doesn't mean he doesn't acknowledge Jimi's contribution
@neoclassic09 lol i cant stand listening to my mother that doesnt mean i dont respect her
and im sure i do lot of things cos my mum taught me that way
i think hendrix is kinda the same in that way, heck i don't think i like hendrix that much either but its undeniable some of the things i do have been influenced by him or influenced by people who have been influenced by him
having said that everyone will be different
It's blues influenced, i wouldn't say this is blues specifically.
The blues has a tradition that does not involve some of the chords he was playing over.
Nevertheless that doesn't mean this isn't great. marty freakin' rocks.
And to those people here who seem to think hendrix sucks, chuck in some good rock and metal and OPEN YOUR EARS to see if you can find any good rock musician who has not been influenced by hendrix some way or another.
bet you marty was
first of all... chill, it's very easy to be that fucking unmannered on inet, second, ye u are right but u didn't understand a shit of what i was talking about, of course everything u said affect BUT a great guitar player can make a 100$ guitar sound like a great guitar, and marty, although the guitar in this case wasn't the best choice DID IT, that was what i was talking about and I can assure u I'm not alone, everyone who plays an instrument knows what I'm talking about
