Still got my original 89 warlock in black , to this day it's still my favourite sounding guitar , the a close second is my dime rebel original 1st issue .
The influence Marty had on me as a player is indescriptible. I'm still here 20 years later listening to his old stuff, and his new stuff as well of course, and being still completely amazed by his musicianship. I'm desperately needing videos and news of Marty, I miss my idol.
I haven't tried the USA MF1s, but I can say that my Marty Friedman MF-1 Purple Mirror is absolutely stunning. Quality control is spot on, sound is absolutely fantastic, playability, fit and finish... Everything! It is unbelievable they could provide such a good guitar for that money. Thank you, Marty.
It won't. They have to pay licensing fees, and then ship every guitar to another country to have them installed. That's at least $500 tacked on to the price.
it is not easy to explain how much Marty inspires me with every single Note he plays, for more than 30 years. And considering I have been playing extreme metal for decades and no solos at all, the size of Marty's inspiration can be understood more easily :) I believe he can get even ants inspired to build a better colony.
@@stevedamien638 sir, if you really care to read i can write pages about “why’s” and “how’s” but long story short, you could search for any live show of him on youtube, or masterclass, especially longer ones. If you are in music business, there is nothing more to say, if not, just give a listen to any melody he plays, even in only 5 seconds, you could recognise him, that is one of the big how’s. Marty is Marty, %90 of all guitarists are %20 Blackmore, %10 Vai, half baked Satriani’s, and so on. Surelu nothing wrong with that either, but being an original like him is very special for me. I am also sure he does not mean to inspire people to dress, but to undress.
@@thesarratum Well when music topic come,I lisen not read. But it's your perception, I own 1000s of cds from Hrd Rock to Thrash Metal(maybe you do also) I know them all, I play guitar too, Vai?not for me,McMalpine way better,Vai should be a teacher. In music to develop your skill and"melody"side you need to play with few notes,few chords as much as you can until real goo! melody come up then you add more chords,notes. All these friedman guys play scales dude, you know scales? Now he plays pop in Japan, He was great with Megadeth. Like Vai he was great in a band also,check out his work with Alcatrazz,Roth,Whitesnake if you don't know already, His best melodic solos are right there.
@@stevedamien638 sir, I really dont want to sound any wise or expert on anything, most of my collection, is only black metal, somehow I cant enjoy listening anything else, black metal and Marty Friedman, it may sound silly but that is how it is. I cant really say I own many cds, but somehow I can compose music, and fill the gaps of my collection by making my own thing, nothing big or even close to mediocre but it is there. I wish I could have a better understanding of what Friedman does with scales, and how he managed to write an album like Scenes. but unfortunately I am not even a fart in the wind. so sir, if you are able to understand and explain it with scales or any simple terms, you are very very lucky indeed.
@@thesarratum Dude,you play your guitar,you creat chords,play that fucking thing until that meat patty in your head know where are the sounds on the fretboard. Then your soul can manifest anything that the meat patty understand and remember. i have respect for the office guitar player but way more for the streets learners. The best musicians and best riffs in metal are made by people who have no fucking clue what a scale or what note is this and that. Only practice make you great. Guys like Friedman,Vai are,,,well; it's all in one perception. Get your ears a favor go listen to Tony Macalpine-Maximum Security,his melodies are not within scales by skipping a few notes,,, Many if not most guitarists take a scale and skip few notes in it to make it soundmelodic. Again,,,
Hello Marty, I really enjoyed your video today. I hope that you have inspired alot of new & upcoming guitar players out there. To me I believe guitar and bass not only can create great music but it really works on mental health. It can give us inspiration and goals for us to look forward to & achieve. And most of all great music. You are such an awesome person and guitarist. Please stay safe and well & Keep Rocking. Signed John Gregory/ Zepbass. A 69 Year old bass player from Munster Indiana.
I turn 21 on Monday I've been playing for about a year and Marty Friedman and Jason Becker have inspired me more than any other guitar players I know. This guy's a hero and he inspires me and I'm sure so many other people all the time.
Me too! The black one he used on the latter half of the Rust in Peace tour and on the Countdown Tour (On countdown, usually for the number Anarchy ) was BITCHIN!
Thanks Marty!!!! I have the same problem with the volume knob on my Kelly. It’s a hellish nightmare. But with a higher gauge and a relatively high action...the sound it produces is beautiful...so rounded. It is necessary a single coil switch in that model...please.
What a good human you are, you words are so motivating every time I hear you, (also i'm every time so close to buy your signature model you the best sellerman I know hahah)
God hes great slayer got me into playing guitar first riff I ever learned was raining blood but when I heard megadeth it blew me away marty made me want to really solo and the reason I have a few kellys now
Wish all these guitars could be on sale for the public 🤣 but at least the Kelly in my opinion, because I feel like Marty is most known for his Kelly. As a fan this is just my personal desires and opinions so I’m just venting. I grew up watching Marty and he has had many guitars throughout his career but I feel like I identify Marty with the Kelly more than any other guitar so that guitar resonates in a special way for me, my intuition tells me many people feel this way as well, but that’s just me. Even a limited edition or something if not mass produced would be nice! But it’s ok I will forever be sad if he never comes out with a new signature Kelly for sale to the public, but I’m still very much appreciative that I can at least buy a new Marty friedman guitar at the very least. I have the x series and the purple cracked mirror 🪞 pro series, and they look sexy and they feel and play like butter 🧈 I can only imagine how the u.s.a model plays. I love that all the knobs are out of the way and honestly I could name all the details I like about it but long story short every little detail about it is what makes it special to me and sets it apart from other guitars! Marty says in the video his signature Kelly has the controls and the knobs far away from the bridge and pickups! Which to me is something after trying a guitar like that I don’t want to go back to a guitar that I’m constantly banging my hand into the controls or somehow trying to consciously avoid the knobs while playing and that’s something you don’t really find on other guitars very often. Most if not all of the Kelly’s that Jackson has for sale either have tremolo bars, or knobs that are like an inch away from the pickups and bridge, or active pickups or some combination of the three. Tell me if I’m wrong but I don’t believe you can order a Kelly with the same Marty specs, unless you custom order it or you become a Jackson signature artist yourself, but even then it still wouldn’t be a Marty signature. Marty could sign his name on a piece of trash and hand it to me and I would be thrilled with content, I would take that piece of trash and put it on display. Marty is the goat 🐐. Hopefully somebody reads this whole essay I left on here 🤣. So anyway that’s the end of my rant.
I think Kiko and Marty have a lot of admiration and respect between each other. I think it was an unfortunate comment from our dear Dave trying to upset Marty: Kiko and Marty are geniuses: the Marty era in Megadeth is incredible, and the soloist work of Kiko (No Gravity) is out of this world. Both are masterpieces and both are geniuses. No preferences.
Kiko is great but he plays Marty’s stuff, it’s not the other way around. Besides that, these guys don’t go around being jealous of each other so they are cool.
You’re right: Marty does not have all the technique and knowledge to play Kiko stuff, but that doesn’t matter, he is an incredible musician by himself with a lot of creativity. And Kiko can play Marty’s stuff because he has many techniques resources. Also in Megadeth Marty’s came first and Kiko is after. And he was hired to play old stuff too...that’s the only reason. That could happen to every musician in every band. But I hate to compare both, it’s like comparing John Petrucci with Paul Gilbert...why??? Or even Paul Gilbert with Marty: it’s a waste of time. Every decent guitar player love Marty and Kiko...more than Megadeth.
@@rickdelpino472 that’s well put. I love Kiko’s playing but I also love Marty’s and he was there first. The man that picks up the mantle from the first one will have to play the legendary stuff or play something completely else. And for the sake of the fans, you should play what’s legendary note by note. But. There is not a “better than” going on. It’s different.
@@peevee605 Absolutely. I love ALL the solos Marty created in Megadeth, I only use Jackson for him, but I don’t like so much his solo works, and I am big fan of Japanese j-rock. Kiko solo works and Angra material are out of this world...but his work in Megadeth...mmm...i don’t know. But they have some things in common in their playing: strings hard hitting, they prefer 10’s than 9’s, high action, prioritising melody than rapid phrasing, deep vibrato, and a rounded and collocated sound.
Get Jackson to get better quality control. Pro series guitars costing near 2 grand shouldn’t have anything wrong with them. Even custom shop and USA select models have dropped. . They are losing customers because of it!
I once try an X-series MF-1 and the finish was absolutely horrible. The black paint splattering all over the white binding. Body, neck, and headstock all have this paint splatter issue. If the company, which makes this guitar, doesn't care about the paint job, I don't even think they will care about little detail such as fret job or nut slot. Because I love and respect Marty as a guitarist, I hate to see a company makes his signature guitar with such quality issue.
The qc has become very hit or miss it seems since the mij days. all the horror stories have kept me away. There’s all kinds of people everywhere having significant issues with finishing and incomplete finishing, sanding marks, bad fret jobs, bad nuts, sharp frets… they really need to do better
Idk man. My SL27 MIK Jackson is flawlessly crafted to perfection. AND it's not a USA. QC depends on the people that produce the guitars. Sometimes they're half assed. Sometimes they're out on a mission to make good guitars. I must've gotten lucky
fuxk man watching him talk about how he writes really just puts more drive into me because he goes about it the same way as me ... without all that skill of course
@@Sirlants_alot seriously man it really bums me out because I love Jackson guitars it’s just I can’t buy them anymore. The last x series soloist I had was fucking terrible for $750 u should be getting a guitar that doesn’t have a fuck ton of dead frets and no tuning stability. Super disappointing
Marty I love your playing man but that last album went too far Japanese for me my man; it’s not my culture so I don’t embrace it like you; but if that’s your future continuum I’m not interested in your music anymore. Please explain why do musicians & actors get so neurotic and think everyone is on board with them on their road to self realization? Like comedians that think people want em to be serious when we don’t and musicians that think we want to hear all their personal influences for an entire album worth of material “ Satch” has done that now for four albums, I don’t get entertained by a serious Jim Carrey. Please don’t forget why people liked you in the first place “ Dragon’s Kiss, Cacophony, Megadeth” not rock Fujiyama.
So happy Marty is still with Jackson. Still a Jackson and BC Rich fan. ❤️
Slash fan here. He has played few of his songs on BC Rich. 🤘
Still? He returned to Jackson. He has also had deals with PRS and Ibanez.
Still got my original 89 warlock in black , to this day it's still my favourite sounding guitar , the a close second is my dime rebel original 1st issue .

Marty nailed it.. playing in front of people vs playing in your bedroom is a total different experience… great advice
Marty really loves his key modulations.
take a shot every time he says key modulation.
Key modulation
This Kelly model looks perfect
And I love the volume knob placement
Marty Friedman is single handedly my biggest inspiration. I have an insane amount of respect for his skill
He is speak Japonese
Jackson and other companies.. Take note of what Marty says about the Volume knob placement!! Loomis, Merrow, and myself agree!!
Mary, you're always going to be my favorite lead metal player. Rock on!
Yes! Mary Friedman is the best! Absolute monster!
I haven't tried the USA MF1s, but I can say that my Marty Friedman MF-1 Purple Mirror is absolutely stunning. Quality control is spot on, sound is absolutely fantastic, playability, fit and finish... Everything! It is unbelievable they could provide such a good guitar for that money. Thank you, Marty.
I hope the X-series with TT-frets see the light of day.
It won't. They have to pay licensing fees, and then ship every guitar to another country to have them installed. That's at least $500 tacked on to the price.
so awesome when a player that has reached the level of godness that he has turns out to be very genuine,sincere and very cool as well

doesn't inspire me how to dress tho,
