To be honest, Marty can't really "shred", but he can fucking PLAY. That's what makes this guy my favorite guitar player. Respect to him even without Megadeth.
Cmon dudes, is stupid to be fighting whos best. Just shut the fuck up, and let the masters talk with their guitars. If you dont like, just simply walk away and let the others rock. >>IN MY OPINION<< For me, Marty is better than Petrucci, for the feeling dude. But if we enter in "virtuosity" and that shit, damn Petrucci is better, he can play anything that marty boes, BUT never get that feel. Rock n roll ain't noise pollution my buddies \m/,
Although he is soloing over a typical blues chord progression, he's way different than any blues player, even in this video he shows his own way of following chords and expressing melodies, and this is like his signature. Marty is one of the greatest and most original guitarists of all time.
I really like the blues and am very interested in learning the classics but there's only so much u can learn from searching "blues" on youtube lol does anyone have songs/artists that would be worth my time to look up? thx a bunch!
This sex to my ears... and Paul Gilbert plays amazing blues too, although he gets quick and repetitive it sounds amazing. I think anyone playing guitar is amazing. Sound is all about opinion and preference. If you listen to jazz cool if not cool, don't be such a bitch about it
@ChineseTOP First of all it's a joke dude chill out, i mean u got to be a stupid fuck if u think that if u don't play blues ur actually a fag haha, second i do play guitar and for me the blues is the father of rock and variations, influence me a lot in my playing and third just curious what do u play on guitar ?
It seems many people just can't grasp the concept of technical blues. If its all about the feeling then let this man play a hundred times faster than BB king because it's obvious that is his preferred approach. Musical purity is chaos.
@RiceKiller191 Not really. Maybe metal in its earliest stages it was but if you listen to most metal that has come out since thrash there really isn't a lot of blues going on that often.
@codebabe Original Heavy Metal yes. Black sabbath is a was a blues band when they were called Earth. They played the same stuff just with distortion and different lyrics.
man you guys talkung aboui t all of your favourite blues players and I don't think any of them are even blues like yngwie is not blues, as far as I know paul gilbert isn't either haha (and yes I realise I'm going to get -60 for this ;)
@ridethelightning64 Well to Paul Gilberts defense he is a VERY talented played. In fact he is up there among my favorites. Probably Marty, SRV, Paul, Dave Mustaine. He can play the shred blues much like Marty here can. It's just a different style of blues.
@Doombot2point0 I never said Paul Gilbert wasn't very talented I agree completely that guy is insane, but I'm a little confused by the "different style of blues" thing, care to explain? lol
@ridethelightning64 Well He plays a fast blues but not a shredding blues like Yngwie. Ugh. He annoys the hell out of me. But these two can pull off fast blues with feeling not just a mess of notes over some bluesy chords like Yngwie.
This is probably one of the nicest blues solos by a non-blues player. Joe Satriani is probably the other shredder who can do blues very well. (Whereas Vai and Petrucci can't IMHO).
@1madaboutguitar, He's no BB King but he can play them blues quite well. However, I find that youtube doesn't have any very good examples of his playing of the blues. A friend of mine played me a CD a couple times of Yngwie playing the blues and I was most impressed with his feel. I suppose the studio was a better avenue for him then playing live.
@1madaboutguitar Wow, you obviously haven't heard Malmsteen's song blue, it is full of blues and emotion. Fyi, malmsteen is one of the most emotional guitar players of all time.
@1madaboutguitar I wouldn't discredit Yngwie actually. His song Blue is very Bluesy without there being any Blues Chord progressions, that's pretty clever. But yeah Marty is better.
@nr900 Zakk Wylde? Slash? They simply started out mastering the blues, because Hard Rock and Heavy Metal stem from the blues. Tons of metal guitarists play blues, only the like all-out death metal guitarists are the shredders that can't play blues. Vai and Petrucci can definitely both play blues. Dream Theater covers Pink Floyd (which is slow blues), and I've seen a video of Steve Vai playing "Little Wing", and it was a little more metal than Jimi's version, but it was still blues at heart.
@69ofdoom dude vai was zappas guitarist along with zappa of course. that was all about jazz and blues and btw vai is grduated in music so he sure knows how to play the blues
@nr900 what? Hmmm I completely disagree. I don't think Via or Satriani can play blues very well where as Friedman can VERY well and Perucci can play some amazing smooth-jazzish stuff (look up rock discipline ex 16 if you haven't already)!
@nr900 not really convinced! he seems to do a guitar lesson and is happy to finish it after almost two (2) minutes. do listen to real blues men black and whites.
people talk shit like playing blues is really hard. im pretty sure marty could have just played the pentatonic scale. But he tried to add a new flavor to your average blues licks. So now people say he cant play blues. people on youtube are such crackheads.
yeah if your watch melodic control marty actually says that you can stick to the pentatonic scale and solo or you cant try to be origional. So its really not like marty cant play the pentatonic scale, its just that he tries to play origional stuff. i mean hell man i can play pentatonic scale (but playin marty's style is still very challenging to me).
what you obviously don't realize is that blues is all about feeling and emotions, not just the pentatonic scale... And im guessing you mean blues pentatonic.
I'm pretty sure that's Kenny G. playing the guitar not Marty F. And what's up with his right hand? Someone please show him how to pick the right way. Just kidding !
I've always recognized Marty as a super talented player, since probably the late 80's when I got his album "dragon kiss" never seen play though, it seems he has a very unusual angle on his right wrist .. anyone else pondered about that ? is there a thought behind it, or is it just the way his technique developed .. just curious .. I wish I could play like him :)
LOL, yeah the standard position is what I used, I tried playin like that, but my best advice is, almost straight from Martys mouth himself, but it is to not even look at you picking hand, and just do what feels best.
But what if it feels right to hold ur pick with ur thumb and pinky, and then you get good with the left hand, but ur right hand is getting hurt, wouldnt you wish for ya to learn the best way from the beginning`?
u are completely wrong, don't forget that the tone on the actual vid is far away from the real tone, plus he's probably playing a little solid state combo....he's real gear consisted of custom audio amplifiers preamp 3 se+ and vht2150 powermp! the best of the best!!
the jackson ke-2 is so versatile, he's atcual model is ke-1, look for his albums: music obssession, introduction... most of teh clean parts are from he's jackson ke-1
He's very good but still not as good as Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix said it himself. "The blues is easy to play but hard to feel". Marty friedman attacked the blues too technically but don't get me wrong..He did an amazing job but not it wasn't as fluid as Hendrix. Hear country blues by him and you'll know what I mean.
I've never seen why people freak out about hendrix, yes he 'feels' the music and sets his guitar on fire but i haven't seen any videos that have impressed me. I can feel what I'm playing all i want and i can still be sucking at the same time...
The only difference between Marty Friedman and Hendrix is drugs.
The only reason why Hendrix was so fucking great so idolized is because everyone in that fucking period of time was high out of theirs minds in LSD and pot.
Sorry, Jimi is a legend and one of the most innovative guitar players in the world, but you have to get over him one day. It's been a long time, and there are far better guitarists out there. Marty Friedman is light years more superior because he can cover grounds of any style of music incredibly.
yup dimebag / kirk / friedman / mustaine etc etc all use speeded up licks that were played 80 years ago by black men sat on their porch moaning about their woman who left them weeks earlier
and thats better just make them or base them of if you play them by school youlle end up ending what thetheori want instead of whats in your head,invetually you just want to bring your ideas to live if theyre theorythically correct that isnt the first matter.
Actually I know theory quite well cause I'm a music student and it actually helps you know what you're doing and how to break out of it and do really crazy stuff. It's awesome, some of the craziest stuff comes from jazz/fusion players that know theory super well and know how to break the rules and make great music easily cause they know how. But Marty's the best he's my favorite guitar player of all time,hes pure genious and I love his stuff. But yea theory can make the music you no even better.
it can help you allot offcourse but you know it inventually goes al around in your head and the theori are like bridges to remember what you want to play or help you with the position to put your fingers one,invetually it are your fingers that do the thinking.
this is great Blues, and Metal's roots are steeped in Blues as well as Classical, Euro Folk, MiddleEastern Folk, Jazz, in essence, it's really a fusion of many other genres.
LOVE the intro

He's very good but still not as good as Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix said it himself. "The blues is easy to play but hard to feel". Marty friedman attacked the blues too technically but don't get me wrong..He did an amazing job but not it wasn't as fluid as Hendrix. Hear country blues by him and you'll know what I mean.

I've never seen why people freak out about hendrix, yes he 'feels' the music and sets his guitar on fire but i haven't seen any videos that have impressed me. I can feel what I'm playing all i want and i can still be sucking at the same time...

The only difference between Marty Friedman and Hendrix is drugs.
The only reason why Hendrix was so fucking great so idolized is because everyone in that fucking period of time was high out of theirs minds in LSD and pot.

Sorry, Jimi is a legend and one of the most innovative guitar players in the world, but you have to get over him one day. It's been a long time, and there are far better guitarists out there. Marty Friedman is light years more superior because he can cover grounds of any style of music incredibly.

tht lick that he does starting from 1:09 is amazingly beautiful. no one can compare to marty friedman, and his brilliant guitar mind.

ok let me reword that
not just blues uses the pentatonic scale
and not all blues uses the pentatonic scale
but this is blues
and it does follow a pentatonic scale,
2nd blues and jazz created rock and roll
rock and roll created metal
so how can u people say metal did not come from blues?
xdefyance719 3 years ago 2
Agreed. Listen to the first metallica record, its nothing more than brutally fast and furious blues music.

and thats better just make them or base them of if you play them by school youlle end up ending what thetheori want instead of whats in your head,invetually you just want to bring your ideas to live if theyre theorythically correct that isnt the first matter.

Actually I know theory quite well cause I'm a music student and it actually helps you know what you're doing and how to break out of it and do really crazy stuff. It's awesome, some of the craziest stuff comes from jazz/fusion players that know theory super well and know how to break the rules and make great music easily cause they know how. But Marty's the best he's my favorite guitar player of all time,hes pure genious and I love his stuff. But yea theory can make the music you no even better.

it can help you allot offcourse but you know it inventually goes al around in your head and the theori are like bridges to remember what you want to play or help you with the position to put your fingers one,invetually it are your fingers that do the thinking.

this is great Blues, and Metal's roots are steeped in Blues as well as Classical, Euro Folk, MiddleEastern Folk, Jazz, in essence, it's really a fusion of many other genres.
