Dude looks the same as he did in 1990. Must be that Japanese fish diet.
AJ the Marauder botox😂😂
AJ the Marauder Lmfaoooooooo
AJ the Marauder 😂🤣and a lot of conditioner for the curls
lol
I don't think he does drugs, drink, or smoke. On top of that he looks like he exercises & eats right.
His eyes 2:47
+Brandon Lee Vellozo wow, what was that?
Brandon Lee Vellozo In an old cacophony interview when they were in Japan you can see his eye does that too lol
reptilian alert
more!
No matter what you say to marty, he always says Jason was way better. Is like an older brother talking about the young one, you can tell he cares a lot for Jason. You can hear marty on jasons playing, he was a great influence for jason. To me, they are both great.
Luis Diaz serious. Marty was so good back then you really have to listen for the whammy bar work and vibrato to see who Marty is. Becker is very unique with the wang bar. Marty was indecipherable he was so badass on speed metal symphony.
@@OmniscientVirtuosity Marty doesnt use whammy bar wtf Jason does
Madden Marty did a few times but used Jason’s blue hurricane guitar when he did but he only did during his albums like dragon kiss
@@TheCommanderrob Never seen this comment 😂. So to clarify, yes, Marty has used whammy bar just a few times, he clarifies he used it on Dragon Mistress and Sword of The Warrior and that's about it, that's on his official website. Then he used the whammy bar live only to performance 'In My Darkest Hour' during Megadeth's era.
@@OmniscientVirtuosity well i feel like jason used the bar more since marty for a while now doesnt even play guitars with whammy bars. You can hear jason whammy bar madness pretty well on opus pocus
somebody:-“sweep picking”
Marty:-*triggered*
Lol. Can't stop laughing
This is actually so true, if you even mention a technique the guys eyes flare up hahahaha
Did you see his eyes at that moment?
So weird, I've always thought that part of his stuff was based on sweeping. I actually learned how to sweep from him, or at least he gave me the idea to learn how to do it.
Like he said else where; your girlfriend lied to you, he doesn't sweep.
He's hilarious.
Marty Friedman: “I don’t do bends I only move the guitar string up a 1/2 step, a whole step, or 1 1/2 steps. I don’t know why everyone thinks I do bends”.
lol
“I don’t sweep” sweeps
Yeah really. The first video REH he did a 3 octave sweep sequence that is sick .
I guess he got away from 2 and 3 octave arpeggios
...and playing straight arpeggios to every chord progression in the universe
" C major...i d k if i know that one."
" i learned japanese from the back of Kiss's Hotter than Hell record "
Marty can sell. Ice water to an eskimo
He also says he isn't a shredder yet he absolutely shreds. What a weirdo.
LOLOLOL. OMG. you said that so well Bryan. ROFLMAO. best comment ever about Marty and his sweep picking denial!!!!!!!
I love when Marty speaks about just how great Jason was, and may we never forget!
We won’t he’s not dead yet.
Jason is a living legend.
Up there with Mozart and Pagini
Recommend a 10th Standard Jason Becker follower's composition: th-cam.com/video/oGweh9WwkjA/w-d-xo.html
Jason was a Bach lover... which makes me love him even more.. also made his composing amazing.. he was on his way to being an insane improviser as well.. I’m sure he already was but we didn’t get to hear too much of it... all we heard was a lot of sweeping but his blues improv was just insane.. the whole perpetual burn album was composed so well. My favorite part being the second half of dweller in the cellar where Jason dedicated it to Paganini.
But let’s not ignore how good Marty is either!!!
Everyone does!
Marty's lead work on Rust in Peace are still some of the best I've ever heard
Rust In Peace is the Best Metal Album ever.
"I'm not a sweeper AT ALL"
then proceeds sweeping. Marty is funny.
he was alternate picking most of that time.
I'm not a good server AT ALL -Roger Federer
it's economy picking
"I'm not a sweeper at all". Hangar 18, Lucretia, Tornado of Souls, Concerto, etc. etc.
@@garrettcarroll5808 sweeping is when you play arpeggios up and down. if you're just quickly playing a lick either ascending or descending, to save energy and clean things up, you just move the pick in one direction and hammer on/pull off the rest. this is what Marty actually does, which is economy picking. not sweeping like Jason Becker or Michael Angelo Batio
Whether or not Marty sweep picks, I find his style very unique and very enjoyable to listen to. He is one of the best guitarists EVER, not only techniques but GREAT music!
enjoyable to listen to
John Lozano he’s the “god of phrasing” tbh. His megadeth leads were so full of “it.” Whatever “it” is? Extreme memorable. Extremely impressive. Unlike his solo albums and whatever else crap he writes. Mustaine and Becker brought out the best in this guy. Competitive i suppose?
He does.
I was waiting for the part where he'd confess Jason and him are aliens from a parallel dimension who came to Earth with the sole purpose of forcing all guitar players to quit.
nah, i think they came to earth to make more people play the guitar.
Quit playing slow pop music , and play hyper speed .
Sweep means " shit" in alien, so we use this language based on math to make earthlings more aware of their surroundings
Marty was never the technical type, but it sure as hell doesn't stop him from becoming one of the best at phrasing and expressing melodies.
Man, I listen to Cacophony for like 3 years, and man, their songs are amazing. Even the "shittest" songs are amazing, they're better than 99.999% of musics out there...
Str8 up.
I don't think that Cacophony have bad songs actually
The vocals (Peter Marrino) weren't everyone's cup of tea. But I thought they were okay.
Man!!
Music back then was anti commercial . if you tried to be pop you were a poser .
There was no chance of kissing a lables ass the bands of the tape trading under ground wanted to be the opposite
I'm not a sweeper ATTTTTT ALLLLLLLLLLLL
Last part of this interview is, in my opinion, one of the most important lessons every musician should be aware of. Thanks Troy for your efforts!
Gotta love his humility...hes not about braggin at all.which is weird cos his solos in symphony of destruction and tornado of souls are legendary..much respect marty...
Marty's megadeth Solos aren't the hardest but they sound the best!
Marty's such a musical dude. He doesn't know how to NOT be creative!
shoutout to the solo in lucretia
Sanberk Atalay and Tornado Of Souls. Mindblowing. Nuff said
@Sanberk Atalay and BOY SKINNY - plus one for Marty's solos in Lucretia and Tornado of Souls. I listened to those solos over and over back in 1991 when I got Rust In Peace. Absolutely loved them.
The part where goes crazy in Hangar 18 is too fast for most guitarists.
Marty is one of a kind! His sense of phrasing & melody is phenomenal! I grew up with Cacophony and to date SMS is still one of my top desert island albums.
Props for the mysterious Marty pick hand cam
He says he's not a sweeper at all yet tons of Cacophany stuff were just sweep arpeggios. Becker did sweeps on almost EVERYTHING. so... he's just conveniently forgetting, I guess.
He's not Jason or Yngwie or Jeff Loomis, his approach is defined is economy picking but not full on sweeping
@@SantomPh And even Yngwie, his signature move isn't sweeping but descending runs where he's picking every note. Becker played with one hand just as much as he swept. For all of those players in the 80s especially Friedman, sweeping was just another trick in the arsenal with of yet not even a name; where for a lot of guitarists these days, it's what defines their soloing.
Marty's a bullshitter hahaha, he was totally sweeping that C major shape. And in tornado of souls there's 2 arpeggios which contain "mini sweep" kinda things. He can't act like he avoids it completely, there's guys that wish they could do that, me included, he should just embrace it! Not trying to bag on Marty, I love him, but c'mon your totally sweeping bro lol.
No doubt! But I don't think he's really aware how much he does this, and on top of that, that this tendency is still what most of us would consider "sweeping". He's totally a play by feel guy, which is crazy when you consider how complicated the parts are that he's written/played over the years.
Very true, that's definitely what separates him from the rest. You guys should try to get Paul Gilbert on next! That would be awesome, cheers \m/
I second getting Paul Gilbert on!
Actually that's a very different movest, friedman's peculiarity consists in a very personal touch, those half tone bends of his and the way he moves the strings, now i just wanted to say that sweep picking is very very mechanical technique that barely leaves space for a full tone control, which is not the case, as u can see from the cam and the notes marty's playing basically he "downstrokes-pulling and hammering" over a chord, sweep picking my friend is much different, now as u can feel from my words im not a big fan of sweep for the simple reason that prevents any possible control over the note u play, personally i like to give it a little bend or maybe some vibrato switching a from tone and note to another by simply not sliding on the thext or previous fret but by pulling up and down the strings, if the concept of sweep picking was a person i guess it would be a hell studyin nerd in a classroom repeating the lesson as textbook commands, good luck to those who like it , but that's not made for me, and getting back to the topic friedman he's not a sweeper and mostly tornado of souls is the perfect example how his technique gets misunderstood, i personally played that solo and what you call a sweep action is nothing but a downstroke playing that i've been able to play instead in an up and down(alternate picking) action makin it sound the same(concerning the tone), for sweep picking to be so we need to apply some factor, the pressure on the strings the fluent and floating sound of the notes, even from the muscular side is a technique that does not employ a huge effort which makes it easier to learn 'cause you mostly focus on the movest of your left hand, surely you know as sweep picking sounds, but if love guitar and everything concerning guitars just like me you should pay more attention to the little details that most of all in music can make huge differences
Alessandro Indelicato I completely agree with you on the analysis of Marty's technique. His "sweeps" are essentially economy picking with hammer-ons/pull-offs.
Sweeping, on the other hand, is one fluid down or up stroke very similiar to strumming a chord.
What the hell, Marty. Speed Metal Symphony is one of the most brilliant albums ever. Maybe you were bad at "songwriting", but you were brilliant composers.
I was hoping he would ask Marty about his unorthodox pick hand position.
Strings 1043 he's explained it so many times, he's self taught and developed his own crosspicking technique. He didn't realise it was the "incorrect" way of playing until later and wouldn't advise anyone else to play that way
Yngwie and Marty both say they don’t sweep pick. They do, though. I don’t know why they split hairs over the meaning of sweep picking. Marty did a two string sweep up close in slow motion in this video.
Friedman does lots of arpeggiated sweeps.. He doesn't really understand what it is himself.. Nit familiar to his ears
marty has a feel like no one else, and has an incredible ability to create some of the most lush and spine tingling notes, crescendos, and chordal pivots, listening to marty for me is like listening to chopin, their depth in the movement of sounds is spectacular.
Not a sweeper at all. So all those legato arpeggios are alternate picking and tapping then?haha Marty don't be so humble! You're a sweeper. Holy Wars and Hangar have some incredibly difficult sweeping in them
Even though Dimebag is my idol, if you ask me, Jason Becker is the best guitarist technically. He is the best at that and that fact that he could create actual music with it is truly fascinating. He is truly a guitar virtuoso. Marty is more into the soul of music and I love him for that. They would have been great duo and would have wrote great compositions if Jason could play today.
Saw Marty in NYC this last year. It was incredible. I gotta admit, when I first heard inferno. I was a little disappointed, but giving it some time, I saw the brilliance behind it. I love listening to it now. He puts on such a cool show. I want to see him play again.
it is beyond the understanding of modern physics how he can play anything with his right hand held like the wrist bone has been broken and healed in a totally wrong angle. Forget the Higgs boson, I think they need to look into this next at CERN.
kisaposti As a person who studies physics, your comment made me laugh out loud at 4am in the morning lmao.
2:47 Damn...I knew he was possesed XD
XneoclassicaloverX y u say that
~DUUDDEE stop xDD
omg those eyes holy shit
Wait what??.. The cockroach from men in black Part 1?
That happened so fast 😹😹😹
"Im not a sweeper at all"
Come on Marty lol
Marty always likes to distance himself from the norm...I'll have to check out the full interview.
Off to the left, out of shot, Marty's Japanese minders are waiting. When the interview is over, they will bundle him off in a covered sedan chair back to Japan, where he will be made to create videos for Young Guitar magazine.
He did a video for young guitar it's on TH-cam id highly recommend it.
don't you thing 55$ is a bit much to watch the entire interview?
maybe if you charge less then more people would be willing to pay and then you would still make the same (if not a larger) profit, plus more people would actually be able to learn from it.
honestly I was thinking "okay if it's like 5 bucks I'll just pay for it" although it feels strange to pay to watch a video in the era of youtube..
+Yoav Gruper You could also pay $20 and watch every interview and seminar we've ever done, including Marty's -- probably north of twenty hours worth of stuff at this point -- including hours of detailed technical commentary, and hundreds of painstakingly tabbed out slow-motion clips, just by becoming a subscriber to our little Netflix of guitar which we call Masters in Mechanics. That's what we imagined most people would do. But some people still like downloads, even if they could sign up and cancel at any point (which you can), so we made download options available. Yes, we price those mom-and-pop style, because it's exhausting to make all this. Marty was filmed in Tokyo, and I'm typing this at 1am on a NYC subway returning from another interview in Montana. The subscription option is the one we priced for the mass market, and we think it's a strong value for the level of technical insight we offer. This isn't just pointing a camera at famous people and talking. We're trying to tackle topics that aren't being addressed anywhere else. Whether we're succeeding or not, you can of course ask our subscribers. But we hope so!
+Yoav Gruper I do agree. And you see, Interstellar the movie (U$ 165 million budget for the making) is sell on iTunes for $6.99. Just yesterday Richie Kotzen put a new full concert on TH-cam - 1080p HD - totally for free.
+Yoav Gruper As Troy said, instead of paying $55 to download this interview, you can get a one month subscription to Masters in Mechanics for $20 and watch this plus every other interview and seminar. If you think that's still not a good value, that's up to you. Frankly, I think the Antigravity seminar alone could be priced in the 100s of dollars for how good the information is. I wouldn't rave the same way about the Marty interview, but overall, I think the MiM subscription price is very fair, especially since you could binge-watch all the content to date for just $20.
+Yoav Gruper Damn its $55?! I could listen to podcasts such as 'No guitar is safe' and hear plenty of interviews w/awesome musicians for free. Its crazy, people put out full fledged instructional videos for far less.
+Yoav Gruper Everyone is free to do what they want with their own ideas, including commenting their thoughts! Troy ought to set whatever price he wishes. Whether people pay, well, that's up to them!
Knobs volume -tone in his guitar in right place. Please Ibanez do the same with RG
Marty's string skipping is so good people think he is sweep picking
Bruh FIRST of all, Cacophony is one of my favorite bands of all TIME and I will NOT sit idly by and listen to Mr. Poodle McHoward Stern Hair talk about it like it’s some pedestrian garage band lol
His solo on architecture of agression has a fast string skipping lick that is based on an hybrid picking Jason used to practice in cacophony. Go check that solo out
Marty's style was totally different to Jason's but they worked so well together , both amazing in their own ways.
Hey I asked you about a Jason Becker video before!!!! this is awesome :D
Since we're already talking about sweeping. You should try getting Jari Mäenpää from Wintersun on the show ;)
+ᛞᛖᚾᚾᛁᛋ ᛏᚱᛟᚹᚨᛏᛟ And Jarle H Olsen, George Bellas
+ᛞᛖᚾᚾᛁᛋ ᛏᚱᛟᚹᚨᛏᛟ Wintersun Hype! Jari is seriously one of my favorite Musician.
+ᛞᛖᚾᚾᛁᛋ ᛏᚱᛟᚹᚨᛏᛟ Oh YES!! Jari is master in combining insanely technical stuff with great melodies.
Marty was thinking to himself leave me the fuck alone with your fucking sweeps :)))))
What an incredible and original player Marty is. One of my absolute favorites. Such blazing speed but more importantly - the note choices - the phrasing - the bends - the vibrato. A true master of strange rock guitar. Thank you Troy. I wish this interview and many others were free but I am on your side and I understand. I'm going to have to purchase this one.
There is some fantastic stuff on GO OFF! Jason and Marty are masters.
EDIT: always thought it’s weird how Marty holds his pick and the angle of his wrist.
The best lead guitarist megadeth ever had ( Poland is a close second) . He said something here that the technique snobs need to know , it's about CONTENT not technique. That's the difference between him and Broderick . Broderick is all technique and can't write a memorable solo to save his ass. I was watching video of Marty's best solos and was moved and wanted to research it. Then Broderick came on and it was 5 min of fast notes but nothing memorable, left me cold . And I thought " who would they get to replace him if he left"? The answer: "anyone who can play fast" that's it! No need to learn Broderick solos. Any set of fast notes will do. Not one fucking memorable great solo has that robot written
I saw you hating on Megadeth and Mustaine on some other video.
@@sainandanramakrishnan4812 oof
Jeff loomis and Marty.we need some cacophony
no offence, loomis couldnt hold a candle to becker
+Chris Patrick yeah he could. Loomis might even be just as good
loomis is one of the greatest guitar players alive when it comes to shredding BUT he is not lyrical AT ALL. something that becker and friedman are.
Marty started to get bored with the interviewer the moment he was repeatedly asked about sweep picking.
yeah, Marty is not the right guy for this channel. he really doesn't like talking about technique at all.
do a paul gilberts interview pleaseeee
"You can do a couple albums going crazy on guitar all the time, but at some point you're gonna have to make music."
Such simple and obvious advice. I'd give advice like that to kirk hammet. A solo should be like singing imo. Of course shredding in between melodic lines is cool and can be a "tool" to make a solo even better (mr crowley solo 1 is amazing, cowboys from hell solo is a perfect fit for the song and has much shredding, .....) but if you just shred pentatonic and simple diatonic patterns, off sounding chromaticism and whammy stuff im EVERY SOLO for multiple albums in a row now, you're gonna lose the fans that loved you for old stuff. Ride the lightning, MoP, AJFA and a couple others are amazing albums with music tgat make your ears orgasm but even I, a former metallica fan (I still like them, but they're not my n*1 anymore) just fucking hate Kirk's laziness on those fucking solos. New album was ight, vocals were nice, riffs were nice, bass nice, solos absolute dog shit.
Kirk gets a lot of abuse lately but if your career is long enough almost everyone runs out of ideas eventually. If he had been hit by a bus after Ride The Lightning I think history would judge very differently.
There are ten guys in this building who can hit a backhand way better than me
- Roger Federer
Man, those 2 albums were amazing. Bro, say what you will, we could use another album like that.
Inferno was such an Album
I hear ya! "Having only that technique and making tons of music.... that's when you really start to grow". Forget about shredders, see how some blues guitar players can do only runs in pentatonic and bending stuffs, yet they express their emotion pretty well. "Less is more" would translate into, "less skills/ technique" would lead you to "more thinking" of how you can bring what you have inside your head into something musical. It's easier if you have all those techniques like Becker does. But then, having to choose one or two amongst a big array of techniques is also a difficult process I believe. It's like choosing which car to go today when you have a big showroom comprising cars from all over the world. You'd always think about "which" rather than "how", since you got many of options. IMO...
I love Friedman interviews, he always has deep and interesting things to say that you are thinking about days, months, years or decades after (for example he explained how in Megadeth they put a lot of attention in where in the neck the harmonies were so they could have a think layer of sound when Youthanasia came out, something I consider to this day)
Awesome interview
why knocking down your past work? the music in Cacophony was music. Don't underestimate it, man....I haven't heard pieces like Concerto or Speed Metal Symphony anywhere else......I always thought these pieces were music, and I still do.
Friedman is a TALENTED MUSICIAN who happens to SHRED on guitar in his own INTUITIVE and UNIQUE way!
Marty’s left hand at 1:42
GOTTEM
Troy...I seriously love the things you have been doing. All of it. Thank you for your work. :)
It's always strange how everyone refers to Jason in the past tense. He's still alive, just because he can't do the same things anymore doesn't me that it isn't apart if his current self.
yeah, but they're talking about guitar technique. which is now irrelevant to Jason's music. Marty is Jason's biggest supporter, so i hope you're not trying to spin it to make Marty look bad. he's playing on a tune on Jason's upcoming album as well.
Marty? Not stoned??????? What the fuck is this madness.......wait.....wait I am about half way in and I am about 80% sure he is just pretending to not be stoned.
I love Marty and his unique approach, I also am a great fan of his music. But com' on Marty, you will have to admit that 99.99% of what you are playing are basically sweep arpeggios, or mini-sweeps. I mean even the concept of your economy picking is there because when you play a melody you still sweep between 2 strings. And ITS NOT a bad thing..actually it is unique and amazing.
Yeah, I rewatched the full interview recently, and Marty seems curiously defensive. I think that because he doesn't think in a rigidly structured way about what he plays (and takes pride in that), he almost seems to take any generalization about his playing (however valid) as an accusation of being formulaic. Or he'll overload descriptive language others use about his playing to have a restrictive/negative connotation that wasn't intended, and then try to argue it doesn't apply to him. I don't know if this is a product of negative conversations he's had with other people over the years, or what. On some level, he seems to *want* his playing to remain some kind of inscrutable enigma. Maybe under other circumstances, with no camera rolling, he'd let his guard down a little more. Maybe Troy was simply the wrong messenger/interviewer in this instance (even though I think Troy's work is amazing).
he meant up stroke and down stroke like ''Bloop bloop" sound actually he does pick those notes.
I have every single instructional video of Marty. Dude, he is sweeping EVERYTHING. He basically has almost NO alternate picking when soloing. Its either economy (as in 2 string mini sweeps), legato or sweep. Check the slow-mo. Its down-down-down on the arpeggio and only goes alternate between strings using the "outside of the strings" method when he wants to go up. Plus, 99% of his 2 recordings with Cacophony and then Dragon's Kiss, he sweeps ENDLESSLY in every single phrase. Now, to give credit, he rarely does the whole arpeggio up and down to the get "bloop-bloop" effect, however it is NOT that rare...He actually has more than 2-3 "bloop-bloop" sessions into EVERY SONG.... I can name a thousand phrases. And as I said, he is my FAVOURITE guitarist, I studied him years and years....
You are an idiot. Learn the basics. What IS economy picking dude? Its a continuous motion of picking, a SWEEP from one string to the other. What a douche.....
marty have jason souls .. he play guitar like jason play .. just different on his picking style
There is some really good solos and melodies in cacophony
Weird technique for holding his pick. It works though.
Its like many of us never move on from techniques. Only looking back now I see how much listening to Marty would have helped. Its really sad if you never move on and make music.
Because the word (Sweep picking) is so over used by some of these newbies to guitar., I think I used The Whole Arpeggio scale patterns in the early 80s while learning (so called sweep picking) like to me i learned arpeggios from Low E to high E & back up to Low E again" because at that time in like 1984 & 1985 I was amazed by Yngwie, so he used a lot of that full arpeggio attack, but I think Marty completely NAILED it here, at what point are you just playing a pattern" & when is it being made into 🎶 MUSIC 🎶????
If you cut out that hair off and you put on a black suit to Friedman, he'll look like a freaking FBI agent.
Think of how good Jason was, after what Marty said about him..
Marty bends on bends and then rebrands the bent bend to a bend! Lol 😂 hanger 18 is a perfect example
I love that you do this. There is so much to guitar and I feel like it missed the golden age of figuring instruments out so now there are just a bunch of approaches and techniques to how it can be played.
2:07 lmfao and the dude still rips arpeggios 20x faster than I can.
Cacophony was Amazing! The pair of the 2 guitars was just impressive. Instill hace the CDs.
Nice to see an incredible guitarist who isn’t a fan of sweeping. Sweeping is cool and all but I’m not a fan of it either.
You can recognize Marty in any song.. his bends and vibratos are unique.
this really shocked me he way more humble than i anticipated heck yeah Mr Friedman
He is a great teacher in music but is Super talent in Languages abilities
I'm going to insult Marty....YOUR A FUCKING SHREDDER..(get over it..lol)....saw his band recently...great show..(that female japanese bass player was fun to watch.) and yes..Marty was SHREDDING! (In my world ,that's a compliment,and I reserve my right to say so!..lol)..(but that right hand technique..?..I dont get it.. but it works for him obviously..lol)...not my favorite shredder but they were killer live and it was a good show. I'd go see him again.
Wish Marty would have put Googly Eyes in those empty knob spaces!! 🤣🤣
2:10
"I'm not a sweeper at all..." - I'd love to not be sweeper like Marty too... At all... :)
Awesome Troy! Im back into your lessons again yeeesss
They wrote music to a tempo and not to a BEAT.
Great tone Marty!!
JASON BECKER WAS VERY FAST, LIKE MALMSTEEN
Faster than Malmsteen and even Lane, 22nps fast on Paganini 5th
Marty is a great guitar player but man is this guy weird.
TH-cam Rocks
He's Japanese.
The way I analyse Marty's playing is: we would all play a diatonic run perfectly in key, then Marty would come along and half of the notes he played would be "wrong" but would sound a million times better."
Right! I told Marty in the interview that he has a voice where you can always tell it’s him playing by sound alone.
I'd love to see the whole uninterrupted video
Watch Marty Friedman at: th-cam.com/video/EYkn0Hm_OCA/w-d-xo.html
Im pretty sure Marty has smaller hands than me and he's still able to stretch from 10-17 like he was born for it
Just finished watching the full Marty Friedman interview in Masters of Mechanics. The guy is a musical genius. I also love his tone and his very distinctive sound.
I love the part where Troy exposes to Marty his own DWPS technique and the guy is like "I have no idea what you're saying!"
I wish that we could get a similar long interview with John Petrucci. It would be so awesome to get his opinion about 2WPS and see if his opinion about starting a certain riff on a random pick stroke has changed over the years..
Horrible interviewer, he continuously interrupts him stopping the flow of what he has to say.
Could you imagine sitting in the garage with Jason becker and Marty Friedman watching them noodle the axe. Man oh man if I was a fly on that wall!
I'm sure the janitor in the building can sweep better.
where to buy the go pro mount?
I'm not a sweeper yet he sweeps up and down in his song called miracle..and its bururup bururup up and down sweep haha
i love how he stos the strings with his fingers, that is a great tech
that dude almost got dragon pants kicked in the dick for saying sweep.
Marty Friedman God bless our families
2:39 lisa x in the background :D
I´m not a sweeper at all (but I can sweep the fuck out of my guitar anyway).
Fretboard is a mahavishnu orchestra reference
