UPDATE: Marty himself emailed me and said that he loved the video. He also said that he laughed a little when I mentioned pinch harmonics because he's only really done them on accident in the past. :) I had to pinch myself I was so excited.
He and Mustaine completed each other. Marty would play this exotic shred lines while Mustaine would just play chaotic trash metal licks. Holy Wars is the perfect example.
Marty is easily one of the edgiest and most exciting sounding guitarists ever in my book, those Megadeth albums really spoke to me so cannot WAIT to get stuck into this!
I always loved Marty's playing and phrasing so much. One thing he does all the time is a semi/microtonal bend from a half step below the note he actually is trying to sound- he also likes to hit a note then slide to a fret right below it and slowly bend back up to it and sounds so cool
I recognize all of this because I'm a huge Marty Friedman nerd. His playing and songwriting gets better and better as time goes by! Thanks for finally making this video!
Holy smokes you frickin NAILED that! Mr. Friedman is easily one of my top favorite musicians. He won me over with his blazing-fast arpeggios and just his accuracy and intensity. You never cease to amaze with how well you do these artists justice. These are my fave vids. 🤘🏻🎸🔥
Great job Mike! Marty's style is not easy to emulate, but you have done an excellent job breaking it down into digestible chunks so that we can see what makes Marty so special. Bravo!
Watching solely marty friedman instructional videos to help with my improvisation is insanely helpful. His approach to playing is vey different but also makes things uncomplicated
Damn, bro. You synthesized a hell of a lot of his style for us, saving us a crap ton of searching, clicking, and scrolling!!! 🙏🏻 I’m ALL OVER this Marty Master Class! Thank you!
This is maybe one of the best instructional videos I've ever seen. It really demonstrates how approachable Friedman's style can be with the right perspective going in. Doesn't make his stuff easy but easiER.
Check Marty’s solo album “Scenes” if you haven’t already. It’s really chill, melodic and has a Japanese feel to it. You must’ve practiced a lot for this. Marty’s stuff is quite challenging.
I kid you not I felt myself get better watching this video there was a lot of techniques that cleaned up my playing like crazy I love these technique videos, thank you Mike.
I believe the phrase you play at 9:20 is the Hirajoshi scale, which Friedman was pivotal in introducing to western music. You hear this a lot in his solo albums as well as in the ninja when he was in cacophony.
Definitely cool seeing this series come back, would love to see a video on Daron Malakian from SOAD or Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top. Also cool guitar, can’t say that I’ve ever seen that model before
Ok, I know I've made a few comments already so this is the last one. I've watched this several times now and I know I'm pretty knowledgable and you even complimented me yourself one time but I have to say Bravo. This one's extra good. I have about 6 of Marty's solo records at least - True Obsessions, Scenes, Introduction, Music for Speeding, Cacophony's Go Off, and of course what I feel is his best - Dragon's Kiss and he really pushed the boundaries with all the different ideas he used for soloing. All of the other Shrapnel guys are excellent but I think he was the most unique.He's the master of playing 'wrong' notes. No need to learn a bunch of new scales, just take the ones you know and add notes that are not in them tastefully at the right time and place and voila - exotic scale. Hope the concert was good. The ionosphere has been exhibiting an unusual amount of ion disintegrations lately resulting in quite a light show and I was wondering why but now I know - Nuno Bettencourt and Vernon Reid solos together in the same place at the same time. That'll do it. Maybe Paul Gilbert and Kerry King could do a tour together.
Love this, Mike. I'm very much an intermediate player, so no sweep picking, but even the first two (circular 3rd intervals and chromatic runs) have already improved my soloing Thanks so much
I'd love to see you go through some Vinnie Moore techniques. He's probably one of the most underrated 80s shredders, with an amazing technique and some very unique phrasing. His debut solo album Mind's Eye has some real gems in it.
Holy shit! This video is so damn good! Its like an ultra condensed ( in a good way) artist instructional video. Major props. This is really incredible.
I saw Megadeth for the first time ever last Sunday! They headlined at Bloodstock Open Air Festival in the UK. It was awesome! Unfortunately it wasn't Marty Friedman but Kiko is a badass in his own right
Another great video and display. Hopefully, can you please do one talking about the techniques of Matt Heafy and Corey Beaulieu from Trivium. They’re my version of Metallica, the band that got me into metal.Would love to see you do some of their stuff in a video. Keep up the great work.
thank you so much for doing this. when i was younger marty was one of my favourite players. but i always thought all his techniques were beyond me so never really bothered to learn any of his solos. and now im watching this and its blowing my mind because im thinking 'i do that!' omg i do that too!' 'omg i do exactly that!' . seems like i subconsciously copped a lot of his techniques anyway! i definitely dont play like him (who does!?) but i definitely do all if not most of these techniques. you've made a guitar bible here. so good!
@@TheArtofGuitar i think i may try and give one of marty's solos a go now. you've inspired me/opened up my eyes! im going to be coming back to this video a lot!
Nice video Mike 👍One of my favorite concerts was seeing Cacophony live in a small local bar with a stage that was only about a foot high, so I was literally a few feet from Marty & Jason. They both sounded even better then the records. Marty killed it but in my opinion Jason was even better that night 👍
Marty is God. he has been my favourite player for the last 30+ years. And although I have learned anything he has done and tried to "copy" his techniques and licks, his phrasing and touch is unparalleled to such a degree there has never been anyone who ever sounded like him.
Awesome video dude! You should try to do a Chris Poland video next, he's such a unique player and it would be interesting to see some of his techniques.
Cacophony is like having two Paganini twins but with electric guitars instead of violins (poor Jason, didn't deserve such a sadistic fate). Marty Friedman is God!
Hey, sorry about not responding the other day. I meant to but then I got distracted so I'm not just answering because of the $1.99 but thanks. Sadly it's just decals I found on Amazon. But I did do the EVH stripes myself.
I would recommend his old Megadeth techniques vid, most of it was more on Dave’s techniques and stuff Here’s the link - th-cam.com/video/08aH8Y2kPKA/w-d-xo.html&feature=sharec
you guys should check out Wall of Sound-- Marty's instrumental album from 2017. Miracle in particular has a unique face-melter that's crazy but feels gentle in a way I don't get from other solos.
Dude, you got a Carvin V220. I want one of those so bad. Almost picked one up at my local GC over a year ago, but the frets were trashed and they wouldn't come down on the price to compensate. They wanted way too much given the condition. Oh well.
No mention of his unusual picking style (joking)? Also, I recall reading in an article, I think it was when he was doing Guitar World lessons that his picking style didn't allow for things like pinch harmonics, but he clearly uses some, any idea on that? I've always been curious if it was just something that happened while he was playing or intentional. Great vid btw, I LOVE Marty!
I was going to break it down but thought it might mess up people's picking technique. hehe. Works well for Marty and I think he's still able to angle his wrist for pinch, you can see him doing a scooping motion a lot which I think allows it.

Jeff Beck. He's long overdue for a video on him.
That funny and cool of him
That’s freakin awesome
Finally this series again
He and Mustaine completed each other. Marty would play this exotic shred lines while Mustaine would just play chaotic trash metal licks. Holy Wars is the perfect example.

Thanks!
Thanks for this comment 🙏
Thank you, unsung hero of TH-cam!

Yes! For me these half-step off bends are one of the Marty's trandemarks. Marty phrasing and articultion are out of this world too.

Long awaited video. Marty is one of my favorite players out there.
Damn, bro. You synthesized a hell of a lot of his style for us, saving us a crap ton of searching, clicking, and scrolling!!! 🙏🏻 I’m ALL OVER this Marty Master Class! Thank you!
Oh sweet! Marty Friedman is one awesome guy! Can't wait to properly watch this! Congrats on 821k Subscribers! 🤘🏻🔥
Been practicing the tornado solo for a few weeks, man that is full of technique and nuance all my other playing has benefited from this one solo study
Same bro
my favorite guitarist ever!

I was waiting for another one of these for so long, thank you!!!
I thought all about marty friedmans playing all through out basic training. I loved seeing this vid
I kid you not I felt myself get better watching this video there was a lot of techniques that cleaned up my playing like crazy I love these technique videos, thank you Mike.
So glad you chose to do an artist series video on Marty. He's my favorite metal guitarist ever.
I believe the phrase you play at 9:20 is the Hirajoshi scale, which Friedman was pivotal in introducing to western music. You hear this a lot in his solo albums as well as in the ninja when he was in cacophony.
Hey man great video! Can you do Chuck Shuldiner of Death next?? A prolific guitar player sadly passed away back in 2001
Dude I would shit my pants if that happened. Chuck is the greatest metal guitarist after Friedman imo. Please do this Mike!!
I second this
Finally my favorite guitarrist being explained!!
Definitely cool seeing this series come back, would love to see a video on Daron Malakian from SOAD or Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top. Also cool guitar, can’t say that I’ve ever seen that model before
Man! Best technique and positioning vídeo on Marty’s technique choices! Many thanks!!

Wow a carvin V220 cool i have one as well bought it in 85 metallic red Ive been big carvin fan since i bought my first one in 78
That's an absolutely brilliant lesson on Marty's technique. Thank you so much.
Really superb lesson. Thank you very much.👍🏻😀
This was a great video. I love your artist technique breakdown videos.
Great video brother thank u for the consistency and quality content 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Please continue this!!!

Yes! A Carvin!! Awesome Vid as always Mike!
Phenomenal vid!
AWESOME GUITAR!!!
Holy shit! This video is so damn good! Its like an ultra condensed ( in a good way) artist instructional video. Major props. This is really incredible.
Excellent lesson! Thank you ! 🎸
Awesome, now I can vibrato like Marty!!
You should do Bradley Nowell from the original sublime he’s awesome
this video is incredible and i only watched it while doing dishes... now i have to grab a guitar and watch it again. you rule!
I saw Megadeth for the first time ever last Sunday! They headlined at Bloodstock Open Air Festival in the UK. It was awesome! Unfortunately it wasn't Marty Friedman but Kiko is a badass in his own right
Awesome video full of awesomness!
\m/
Awesome video!! Loved this content!!
Another great video and display. Hopefully, can you please do one talking about the techniques of Matt Heafy and Corey Beaulieu from Trivium. They’re my version of Metallica, the band that got me into metal.Would love to see you do some of their stuff in a video. Keep up the great work.
Great video.
Thx for a great video🤘🔥
Yes, a new video
pls do same video about chris poland🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
thank you so much for doing this. when i was younger marty was one of my favourite players. but i always thought all his techniques were beyond me so never really bothered to learn any of his solos. and now im watching this and its blowing my mind because im thinking 'i do that!' omg i do that too!'

you've made a guitar bible here. so good!
Funny how things we believe to be impossible are closer than we think.
@@TheArtofGuitar i think i may try and give one of marty's solos a go now. you've inspired me/opened up my eyes! im going to be coming back to this video a lot!

Thanks!
Can you do a video on guitar techniques of X Japan? or Hide specifically? alot of great content in there
Cosign this.
My favorite guitarists Are Kirk and Marty cant wait to learn all these
Dude great freaking videos!!
Nice guitar! I have the same one in red, signed by Steve Vai! Still plays just as good as the first day i bought it, a LONG time ago!
I believe marty played a red one as well in his megadeth audition and in cacophony
Marty is God. he has been my favourite player for the last 30+ years. And although I have learned anything he has done and tried to "copy" his techniques and licks, his phrasing and touch is unparalleled to such a degree there has never been anyone who ever sounded like him.
Thank you for these
You are such a great guitar player. You are also right about Marty Friedman and Taylor Swift. Both are awesome in their own way.
YEEEEEEEESSSSSSS FINALLLYYYYY MY FAVORITE GUITARRIST, I LOVE YOU MIKEEE ❤❤❤❤
Awesome video dude! You should try to do a Chris Poland video next, he's such a unique player and it would be interesting to see some of his techniques.
Love Marty!!!
Man,u r a beast dude,thank u
Great Video Mike!! I love Marty. I would love to see you do a Jeff Waters Technique video one day.
Cacophony is like having two Paganini twins but with electric guitars instead of violins (poor Jason, didn't deserve such a sadistic fate). Marty Friedman is God!
Marty's the best. So unique, so different. Every note means something ❤
Hi man i absolutely love this series, any chance you can share some tips on getting the tone too?
Awesome work! Chris poland next?!?!😮
The Excitebike clip lets me know I’m the right place. XD
I love hearing guitars “shift gears.”
Do Joe Duplantier next!
Thanks, Great analysis and techniques, any chance you could share your gear setup for this video?
Where do you get the designs on your guitars? Also I love your content. You’ve helped a lot with my guitar journey.
Hey, sorry about not responding the other day. I meant to but then I got distracted so I'm not just answering because of the $1.99 but thanks. Sadly it's just decals I found on Amazon. But I did do the EVH stripes myself.

Here’s the link - th-cam.com/video/08aH8Y2kPKA/w-d-xo.html&feature=sharec
Awesome
Do Marty Schwartz next
Haha!!!!
I was thinking Marty McFly next tho...
Nah, I think that you should do Tom Morello next.
you guys should check out Wall of Sound-- Marty's instrumental album from 2017. Miracle in particular has a unique face-melter that's crazy but feels gentle in a way I don't get from other solos.
Super duper turbo jealous of that V220 😅 Great video tho! 🤘
I’d love to see a technique breakdown video of Josh Homme from queens of the Stone Age
Enough material to keep me buzzy for one month!
holy crap a v220 😮❤
Now we need a Joe satrianis greatest guitar techniques video
Already made one but I trashed it. Gonna redo it sometime.
Do guitar collection video.
Dude, you got a Carvin V220. I want one of those so bad. Almost picked one up at my local GC over a year ago, but the frets were trashed and they wouldn't come down on the price to compensate. They wanted way too much given the condition. Oh well.
Should do one of these for Josh Homme (Queens of the Stoneage, Them Crooked Vultures etc)
Please make a tutorial of white lion little fighter excellent your channel
Wow what guitar is that 😍
Do one for Buckethead please! It’s needed
Fuck yeah! Thanks so much :)
Where do you get the designs on your guitars?
I mean on the other guitars not that one
do a review of that guitar
Great lesson! What did you use for the guitar tone?
My ENGL Retro Tube 100 into a Marshall 1960 Vintage 4x12 cab.
👌
Check out his stuff from Vixen & Hawaii !

@@TheArtofGuitar Lol most def. I tried emulating his picking technique, it's definitely his own.
We need the Chris Poland techniques plsssss
Now you should do Jason Becker
When will we get Sanctus on Spotify?
