@@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.
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.
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.
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 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
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.
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. :)
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.
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!
@denukio very inviting. sounds to me you have your blues all sewed up for YOUR back pocket only. Obviously he knows his touch on guitar whether it be Thrash or blues.
One of the way's to distinguish real player from a fake player is when they play the blues, every idiot can learn scales and run them as fast as they can but only true players can play the blues right- Marty got the blues down right he is definitely real. Respect
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.
I think no one is the best,maybe every guitarist can compared based on technical aspects but i think its about creativity,style and making sounds that you really wanted, of course technique is essential also, for me Marty is certain "Guitar-God" because he can play what's inside his mind and go with the flow of chord progressions,he can make sounds on the guitar the way he really wanted at any instant moment
Oh yeah , i got the Sweep Arpeggio Blues , Baby !!! I just can't seem to break a string , i play for 24 hour straight , just can't get no sleep . Never take a brake , i got the Sweep arpeggio Bluuueeessss !!!! wooo ha ...lol
@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.
@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
@BigTymerPimp hmm very true. its kinda hard to deny hendrix's influence when he basically is one of the most important figures in rock guitar, just like plant is to rock vocals.
Yup, not just techniques though, pedals and stuff although very primitive at the time , were kind of an obsession of his. Im not sure how many you can put down to Hendrix, but he had a lot of input with those companies developing them. Same with Marshall, Hendrix worked closely with them, so i got to take my hat off to him for that side of his work too.
@aridahl EXACTLY! I'm always thinking about that. In order to properly bend strings, use vibrato and slide from note to note with a certain finesse, you HAVE to train your mind and muscles to perform these functions; aka: technique. And even if you don't have a lick of traditional music 'theory' knowledge to speak of, there's no difference between developing your own understanding of the freboard and learning from books.
Hey people, you have a narrow view about blues! Marty introduces some scales and stuff that doesn't fit in the traditional patterns, but this is blues based, you've got to see it. I love this shit!! Marty is the best!!
0:29 - 0-40 = hawaian/indonesian style (Major) turnaround and he plays 0:47 - 0:52 a traditional blues (minor) turnaround. Turaround is chord sequence right before u start the 12 bar blues again. But since he's being marty he sliced it up:P
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!
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
Marty sure can play the blues, such an awesome musician!
How Marty highlights the chord changes is just incredible
he so amazing he can improvise on almost any style
Marty Friedman my favorite guitarist of all time long live Marty and Long live Megadeth!!
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
"That's the way I'd do it..." LOL!
This is what a true musician should be. not just sticking to one genre of music this guy is truely talented and musical
MARTY himself is a GENRE of music.
I can't stop clicking repeat
everytime i watch this video..it makes me wanna cry...like a bluesy sort of cry....
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.
Such a great melodic solo full of surprises that keep you listening. I love the way he plays through the changes on the turnarounds.
2017 and this still blows me away!
well...
oh, how i love his bends from a sour note to a note within the scale!
oh my god thats beautiful.
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.
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...
The fact that the guy in the back said mercy tells you how impactful Marty’s playing is.
martys tone is just amazing!!!
no existe guitarrista con esta gran calidad interpretativa. sus solos llegan adónde otros no
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo, amigo.
@@j.coronado8220 si gracias a el hoy toco la guitarra gran inspiracion
Love the way he says "mercy!" at the end!
blues is so awesome, especially when marty plays it
ha ha this is freakin awesome, marty is awesome in what ever he wants to play. live long marty.
"that's the way i would do it. Mercy!"
that was awesome playing!
HAHA I love it. "That's the way I would do it. (Have we recorded enough yet guys?)".
I love his style, it's so unique.
Great guitarist ... I love you Marty ! .
i must listen to this every day!!!
Wow he can be technical as hell but he can also be emotional! One of the best guitarists ever known!
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

I can play maybe play one or two licks that he played. I feel great. Thanks marty
Your right it has and thats what makes it sound cool
I admire Friedman. He can go balls out million notes a second, but he has taste and pulls back at times. Not many do that. He got soul.
This one is a good one, and I really love blues.
He is the greatest guitarist alive.
OMFG, i love blues and i love marty
i love it. it has blues all over it
I love this man
Wow... who'd have thought that a shredder such as Marty Friedman had such bluesy feel XD. Almost orgasmic.
I like how he goes with the Stormy Monday chord progression. The substitutions fit well for his style
that was a really sweet tune. =)
GREAT BLUES PLAYING BY MARTY
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. :)
First time a real guitar player using a Jackson guitar to play the Blues..Love it
You would never know this was Marty if all you could do was hear him play this...
unless you had a REALLY good ear.
Never knew he could play this kind of style. He sounds musically educated. I would love to hear him play that style with a strat too!
Wow.......total guitar MONSTER.Always tasty
@NoLifeTilMyBalls are you kidding me? this is some of the most expressive stuff out there
"that's the way I would do it"...what a badass...
That's the way Marty would do it!!!!
shredding without a distortion. that's fucking awesome.
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.
He can play every style of music o.o
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!
@denukio very inviting. sounds to me you have your blues all sewed up for YOUR back pocket only. Obviously he knows his touch on guitar whether it be Thrash or blues.
AWESOME
I'm going to look that shit up right away! thanks man.
wow...he is so talented
Oh so that's where I was going wrong. Thanks Marty!
That was the day great Dimebag Darrell died.
We miss you bro!

That's the way he plays the blues, or you like it or you don't like it, simple.
the best.....forever
MERCY!
fucking love that part never gets old

Scenes is great! Totally different than.. say, Rust In Peace but still amazing. BTW, he does one of his signature lick at 1:35 ;)
excellent
I LOVE THE WAY HE TURNED IT INTO MINOR AT 1:04.
Dammit I loved that shit.
@mexrilla wow so amazing
"I'm designed for metal shred, but I don't mind this"
The Jackson
i love playing fast blues
That is fucking beautiful!! a lot of feeling
lol "thats the way i would do it" and too right marty is GOD !!!
''that's the way I would do it, chek it out'' MERCY
AWESOME
Fucking love blues. Fucking love metal. This is the perfection combination!
dudes stop fightining on a marty friedman video. this is a sanctuary video and good music.
Oh yeah , i got the Sweep Arpeggio Blues , Baby !!! I just can't seem to break a string , i play for 24 hour straight , just can't get no sleep . Never take a brake , i got the Sweep arpeggio Bluuueeessss !!!! wooo ha ...lol

I'm a big fan of blues guitar and this guy played 'em just fine.Kind of a Robben Ford/Johnny Winter mix.
Did anyone notice the evil faces staring at you in the background...
+1madaboutguitar now I do
+1madaboutguitar all i see is hair..
+1madaboutguitar Can you describe little a bit that the evil faces what you're talking about? I couldn't see that.
***** 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.
Yup, not just techniques though, pedals and stuff although very primitive at the time , were kind of an obsession of his. Im not sure how many you can put down to Hendrix, but he had a lot of input with those companies developing them. Same with Marshall, Hendrix worked closely with them, so i got to take my hat off to him for that side of his work too.
it reminds me Jimi Hendrix's "Red House"

are you kidding? this is just as good as any other famous blues player, if not better
Hey people, you have a narrow view about blues! Marty introduces some scales and stuff that doesn't fit in the traditional patterns, but this is blues based, you've got to see it. I love this shit!! Marty is the best!!
0:29 - 0-40 = hawaian/indonesian style (Major) turnaround and he plays 0:47 - 0:52 a traditional blues (minor) turnaround.
Turaround is chord sequence right before u start the 12 bar blues again. But since he's being marty he sliced it up:P
He doesn't pick weird. He way is just unusual.
grandspa's guitars!
if anybody doesnt get the reference its from metalocalypse, not insulting marty, hes basically god
This is a new kind of music...MetaBlues
Nice Blues,
@RichRufia oh really? So the Fender Telecaster plugged into Mesa Boogie with tons of distortion would sound awesome ?
