    Marty is a visionaire... His sense of melody is out of this world... I hope he gets all the recognition he deserves eventually. And also this piece dedicated to Jason is a proof of the humble and down to earth guy he seems to be. Hes definitely my main inspiration in music.

    Here’s the thing, when Mart says about these shred dudes not getting it he backs it up with music like this that is so full of soul it makes you want to go back and listen again straight away. This is a lovely piece of music and sad that it’s hard to find more like this out there. He’s one of the best IMO.

    Most people don't know this but one of the key factors that makes Marty's sound unique is his strange right hand. The flexed curvature is basically a modified form of the rare Gypsy Jazz style picking, which was invented to create a louder, more aggressive pick attack. He leverages a massive downward pickslant and uses circular thumb picking to get around the string change issue (for example when the pick is below the string and he needs to move to the string above). You can't reach as much consistent speed output with Gypsy style picking as you can with traditional picking but you get MUCH more power. Think of it like the difference between an AK47 and a metronome. AK47 shoots extra fast and clean in short bursts but then soon gets out of control if you keep shooting without rest, but the sound is dynamic and powerful while a metronome maintains consistent high speed, but the sound is rather weak and mechanical.

      Its even cooler that he just did it naturally aswell, sometimes his picking looks restrictive but personally i think him and zakk wylde have the best style purely cos they're unorthodox self invented styles alow them to hit any note whenever without having a proper anchor, Marty probably has the best picking dynamics and vibrato in electric guitar
