[specvdhol]

Jackson 32T awesome but he left Megadeth! No no no no, If at least al pitrelli and jimmy de grasso have stayed, but anyway MUSTAINE IS Nº1 he is the best stick it up to your asss metallica, they soun like 30 seconds to mars i feel sorry for them.

[Decrypted33]

@specvdhol cool story

[metaltera86]

:'(

[nick1979usmc]

goin back to his classical roots...nice!

[tiroso]

One word: Magic

[claptonslash100]

fucking brilliant

[nirajkc21]

most underrated guitarist

[JobForAMaxboy]

@nirajkc21 In what conceivable way is Marty Friedman underrated??

[animaltemplario]

Marty.... lo que no puedes cantar lo puedes tocar :')

[th3kill3r0fdr3ams]

me encanto, pero sonaria mejor en la acoustica

[rattleheadlegacy]

Me tomo unos 10 minutos sacarlo, pero estoy seguro q crear algo haci toma mucho mas tiempo

[felipoioo]

@rattleheadlegacy si llevas un par de años sacando con la guitarra a OIDO y saves de escalas lo formas en 5 minutos y si la sentis a la guitarra y te gusta ese estilo mejor todavia

[felipoioo]

@rattleheadlegacy que nunca te pones a improvisar y o inventar algo??? o solo sacas y sacas???

[macp0333]

this is the feelings of dave when he left the band

[TornadoOfMegadeth]

YES BUT WHERE IS THE TABS NOW? !!!!

[kungfudragon99]

the only thing sad about this is that he didn't play it in megadeth

[imjusttoogood]

... that was deep

[k1000ocpx]

el okay de marty al final caga toda la pasion xDD

[campkilldavy]

The back track sounds like Nothing Else Matters, lol.

[93fishi]

Lol all you people talking about technique. You don't watch music, you listen to it. There's nothing strange or weird about the way he plays, there's no such thing as a correct way. Hendrix was left handed, he adapted his guitar so that he could play left handed. I don't hear you all saying that he's doing it wrong.

[Youaredildoz]

@93fishi hendrix was doing it wrong

[93fishi]

@Youaredildoz Nice work. Not only did you fail at trolling, you've also shown everyone here how little your knowledge is about guitar.

[Youaredildoz]

@93fishi you just showed everyone how mad you are

[93fishi]

@Youaredildoz Just pointing out the obvious bro

[Youaredildoz]

@93fishi odvious how mad you are.

[93fishi]

@Youaredildoz Okay.

[ShreddyKrueger19]

ok...

[TheZarEHM]

For Jason Becker!!!

[vundaman]

it's not deadhand...not every note is picked if you are good...marty is not jason, but he is very good at his style.

[GuitarFreakCroatia]

Is his hair naturally like that or are we all bald compared to him? :)

[CameronWasmund]

okay

[assasinator1980]

reminds me of the Godfather theme...this guy is God.

[GenitalExhumation]

anyone happen to know what scale he's using?

[schecterGman]

@GenitalExhumation it's a combination of a few modes, so it's got a few "off" notes in it, particularly some diminished ones, however, A-minor is the primary scale here i think.. I think i hear the phrygian in there, so, i'll take an educated guess by saying that the backing is in the key of E-minor... try it out though. cheers.

[GenitalExhumation]

@schecterGman Thanks man!

[MrNahkaorava]

@schecterGman

Hmm... I think the chords are Am-Dm-F-E7. So it's in A-minor.

And about soloing, I think Marty is like a jazz player, he thinks about the chords underneath, not about what scale he can use.

[mellamoignacio]

@GenitalExhumation i think phrygian

[faridzayish]

what scale?

[AirsoftCanada]

Marty Friedman has a very impressive masturbation technique, he can get the leverage and the power - wikipedia

[blackmetal304]

[MrBetrayer1991]

por favor remastericen el audio de este video por favor se los agradecería mucho (Y)



[Misterdave5555]

So many great players in the world, and Marty is one of them.

[ramiropohle]

marty was good on megadeth... but if he was right now in megadeth we couldnt hear the awesomeness of his solos albumbs

[mau1794]

From what video lesson is this?

[MrAlister1000]

/watch?v=ZqflMo-CDLo&feature=r­elmfu look this

[outlawrob316]

He ends it by saying "OK...", as if he's about to tell us all how to achieve that level of lyrical phrasing...

If only!

[Adennos]

I wish it would be longer.

I wish Marty would do a whole album with a song like this.

Something ,like Pink' Floyd's Shine on your crazy diamond, that would be a masterpiece.

[Dominator5515]

gypsy shit

[mrthief96]

@groscay the only thing i say is ''FUCK YOU''

[Rindavar]

I love his bends! It my opinion, but he does well to do whatever he want without the restrection of Megadeth!

[Bruno1P]

@Rindavar i don't know...

i don't think being in a thrash metal band do limit you to create beautifull and calm things as marty friedman, i'm in a thrash metal band, and in my free time the last thing i do is putting the distortion on..

BTW, the marty friedman's bends are magic :) thats for sure

[dbyo88]

Pure Genius!

[Andreas1995ray]

easy words..

easy words....

okay....

[fretzombie]

Why dose he hold his hand like that? I call it dead hand, every video I see of him has the dead hand.

[alpha1shadow]

@fretzombie it's in another video. he said it's because he doesn't like the sound of muted strings so he does it to keep his palm off of them.

[kc70vboltneck]

@fretzombie It obviously works for him,....

[1lordzock1]

@kc70vboltneck it clearly doesn't since he needs someone else to palm mute on studio, and he CAN'T palm mute live.

[kc70vboltneck]

@1lordzock1 What are you, some kind of moron? He does muting with the back of his hand, wrist, and forearm. You can see him doing it in this vid as well as about a hundred others. Do you REALLY believe he has someone muting the strings FOR him in studio???? F-ing REDICULOUS!!!

[1lordzock1]

@kc70vboltneck "I have some1 else muting my guitar to get the human palm feeling on studio, I CAN'T do it live tho" -Marty Friedman. PD: Can't remember the DVD where he said this.

[137Supra]

@1lordzock1 that was for a solo, incase he accidentally hit an open string, but when he plays those solos live, he cant have someone putting their finger on the 1st fret for him for obvious reasons.

go watch the five magics soundcheck, he PALM mutes there

[7Saburo]

@1lordzock1 someone's jealous

[tubo777]

@kc70vboltneck Yeah I dont know why these people are bashing his technique!! Have they ever listened cacophony??? Just a few players can do what he does, and play arpeggios as clean and fast as he does, he is insanely good!!

[ArseLoad0fMetal666]

@fretzombie he believes that it keeps everything a bit cleaner as his hand is never resting on the strings, i can't imagine why cuz i tried doing it a couple of times and it just hurts like fuck and makes it realy hard to tremelo and alternate pick

[kptwillard]

@fretzombie - He has a very unorthodox right hand picking technique, namely the angle in which his hand is clenched goes against the conventional palm mute. He also frequently uses the upstroke as opposed to the down stroke, especially on the high strings (strings B and E). These qualities make Friedman's solos unique and hard to duplicate using an alternate picking approach. - wikipedia

[Trondset]

@fretzombie It's not "dead hand" It's "hand of death" !!! he use it to kill trolls! No serioulsy, this is how he learned to play and why change something that works. I used to play like this until I started watching Yngwie videos, then I spent hours to correct it. Don't know if it was worth it though.

[MrHellcatos]

@fretzombie Because he likes upstrokes he uses this tecnique.

[Drucef]

@fretzombie: His picking hand? Yeah it's always annoyed me.

[DanielSHRED]

@fretzombie he feels comfortable with it. Period.

[Eriklju]

@fretzombie it's how he pick....

[BartSmith85]

@fretzombie Check the "Marty Friedman - Picking Technique". You'll find an answer.

[69stringibanez]

@fretzombie his hand has its own personality, like Thing from the addams family.

[rampage222555]

@fretzombie that picking technique has the pick in an angle almost paralel to the strings. it gives alot of pop and attack to each note with a clean tone. with distortion it gives the same pick attack but at the expence of clean playing. Zakk Wylde also has a similar picking style and youll notice the similarities in pick attack and how each note sounds.

[shotjam]

@fretzombie and that fucking pinky on the left hand! man, i just gotta say this, he's a good musician, a great guitar player, but, dude, his technique sucks!

[jergenx]

@fretzombie he also tends upstroke most of his notes, perhaps it was easier for him when he first started and never corrected himself. kind of like how james hetfield picks with his thumb and middle finger.

[strangersrockband1]

@fretzombie He's just always holding his tremolo

[TerrorizerGrindspeed]

@fretzombie because the notes become more fluid when your hands not muting it and making string noise, he explains it in a video why he picks like that, your probably not even half as clean as he is and he doesnt mute any strings lmao

[hellish1102]

do any of you tough metal heads have a tissue you can spare? This is a tear jerker..not the solo your stupid comments…..

[SPACEtimeContinumumb]

Marty Friedman >>>>>>>>> Planet Earth

[jarkanciofan]

@SPACEtimeContinumumb Slash compared with Marty sucks xD

[SPACEtimeContinumumb]

@jarkanciofan Marty Friedman is not human

[samjoal05]

i thought only slash could do tht :o



[vivelehardcore]

try to compose such a thing kirk HAHA good luck

[zzzhuh]

@vivelehardcore Fade to black is pretty melodic. Don't rip on hammet, I mean ya he is washed up now but back in Metallica's prime he came up with solo's that at least sounded good, They weren't crazy like Friedman but they weren't awful.

[vivelehardcore]

@zzzhuh gotta admit that

[FunkMasterSteez]

solo makes me sad >:'s

[explosivoplastico]

MARTY> megadeth

[vivelehardcore]

@explosivoplastico you mean marty+megadeth= a better megadeth lol

thats what i think

[gunghari]

tab please..

[89ErwinR]

@gunghari

lol, you have vid and audio and you are asking for tabs... 

[666interlooper]

the sad thing is he is not playing in megadeth but the best thing is he is still playing

[ramiropohle]

well people, we all like marty in megadeth.... but seriously..... his best material is in the solo albums....

and if someone says "he's making pop trash.... well, that person just didnt hear all the songs in detail

[EricCartmansFan]

1:08 OK!

[imakazero]

i know his secret!!!!! the better hair you have the better at guitar you are ;)

[F4TB0Y69]

@imakazero haha Joe Satriani and Devin Townsend disagree my friend =]

[nick61729]

@Ollieaxman

i coudln't find anything!! can u help me?

[nick61729]

tabs tabs tabs tabs tabs tabs tabs!!

[Ollieaxman]

@nick61729 I once took that many tabs...

[Mrfatparakeet1]

Why is it that every video about SOMETHING IN A WAY TO DO with megadeth there's always somebody that mentions Kirk Hammett. We get it Martys better than Kirk. But Kirk is a good player. I bet a whole lot of u cnt play better than Kirk. I'd love to see u write a solo as good as ride the lightning. Just stfu and watch

[weed128]

@Mrfatparakeet1 hell yeah man speak the truth!

[rampage222555]

@Mrfatparakeet1 WIN

[gruszkos666]

@Andrewthetomato I think its A minor and the arpeggio, D minor but arpeggio starts at B string, than F minor and arpegio, but than i think that after few times it changes to F Major and arpeggio, and the last chord is E Major, I hope i made no mistakes. : )

[gruszkos666]

@gruszkos666 SORRY, i think that last chord is E Major 7

[nneevveerrmmoorree]

some Stevie Ray fans think theres no feeling in metal

[viaxident]

he left megadeth because in his own words: he wanted to do something different and also he was wasting his talent in that band, so is Chris Broderick doing right now, not because of Megadeth (I love that band) it's because of the great talent they both have

[metalriver]

Here's the lyrics to the song.

Okay.

[nemesis65]

@Andrewthetomato Amin, Dmin, Fmaj, Emaj

[SMWhit3out]

OMG WHAT SCALE IS THIS

[blackbart316]

why this guy leave Megadeth? musta been pissed off he didnt play in Budokan

[zparck]

@blackbart316 actually he left cuz wanna try something new, diferent. he love megadeth but he need to do other proyects with another type of music, not only metal :)

[purplehalfstack]

the only thing sad thing about this solo is that hes not playing it in megadeth....

[Cheez5309]

@purplehalfstack i like chris broderick a little more though but marty is still awesome

[bsm075]

OKAY !!!!

[TheMicrovik]

chris is a jukebox, kirk is a true thrash guitarist..but marty..he's a guitar player :)

[KrisTerziev]

@TheMicrovik dude lets be honest kirk sucks :d

[exlabix64]

well its just an opinion

[Ballarific38]

I see Marty lessons all over youtube, and where are the lessons from Kirk? He'll teach you how to play Metallica stuff, but does he teach you to think outside of the box like Marty does. These are the facts, and you can't argue with that.

[m1j3]

And Dave said Broderick is better than this?

[m4f14d4d]

@m1j3 he is, chris broderick is the best guitar player megadeth has ever had. he plays classical, flamenco, rock, metal, jazz.... and does this with 2 hands tapping. look at his videos.

[RHCPgroupie42]

@m4f14d4d

I strongly disagree. While I love CB beyond life (he is most likely the greatest technical guitarist out there), he doesnt come close to the passion and composition skill the Marty does. You can listen to Marty all day and just melt, while Chris can sometimes make you yawn.

[sonnic1995]

isnt "melodic"?

[esteban1424]

I love Metallica, but Marty is simply out of this world!

[Whoopu2]

What's the name of the video this is from?

[MichaelLozano12]

@Whoopu2 Marty Friedman-Melodic Control

[exlabix64]

you guys should know that kirk hammet is way better than this loser, even if this guy tried to finger A minor, he couldnt, but kirk could finger the minor AND break her g string  ''thumbgs up for kirk''

[SpicyDragoon]

@exlabix64 ... Kirk only ever shreds the pentatonic in the Key of E with wah slapped on the end, you're moronic if you think that he is better than Marty. Marty has the style and technical skills that allow him to be the great composer he is.

[Deratronicum]

@exlabix64 you sir are a retard

Marty was better when he played 2 days than Kirk is now sorry.

[martin2987]

Santana's way...

[cameltooth1]

"Ok". lol.

[punk4life1029]

i hate the way he holds the pick lol

[Groscay]

I think comparing Marty to Kirk is an insult for Marty

[VicenteNewsted]

@Groscay Me too, and I a Metallica fan

[Metallicazor]

@VicenteNewsted and i think its an insult for kirk

[TheRagedeth]

@Metallicazor <--- i wonder why...

[Metallicazor]

@TheRagedeth because I like kirk more! :)

[dragonfurp]

@Groscay obviously u have never heard one of kirks many legendary solo`s!

[napoleonthebassmasta]

@dragonfurp Kirk sucks ass especially considering Satch Taught him. BTW his solos are far from legendary, he can't even play without a pick, useless fuck.

[dragonfurp]

@napoleonthebassmasta Typical kirk hater! The only argument u have is: his solos are not legendary (u have to be on drugs, clearly u have never heard one of kirk`s solos) and that he has to use a pick! Yeeeeeeaaaah, thats a really good argument

[IdiotsRUsLtd]

@napoleonthebassmasta He can play without a pick, and he does in nothing else matters.

Marty, also is playing WITH a pick in this video, you useless fuck.

[Zieglers666]

@napoleonthebassmasta You really are an ass aren't you?! Kirk CAN play without a pick, but so what?? He's an amazing guitarist, if you don't think so you obviously haven't given it a chance or never even heard his solos. ALL METALLICA SOLOS ARE LEGENDARY AND NOONE ELSE COULD HAVE MADE THEM! You're the sad part of the human race.

[thrasher1113]

Aeolian. noice

[irmasil3]

Whenever I hear this sad crying guitar I always have the feeling there is a hint of "things will do get better".....

Marty is the Master of Bittersweet guitar feeling.

[TheLoneSaiyanWarrior]

Tabs anyone!!??

[osfpatrick]

@TheLoneSaiyanWarrior i suggest just sitting down and listen and watch the solo to learn it, thats best for your ears to learn, im gonna start on it today :)

[0MetalllicA]

wooow :O great shit right there.. but a shame that sometimes you can hear his pick.. :(

[faridzayish]

very "malay rock" sound :)

[faridzayish]

A minor... sad key

[reigningbullets]

god this reminds me nothing else matters.

[gowplayer2]

"...hmmOK"

[pepinozinanasshole]

you should listen to this song before you commit suicide

[tutebuacho]

'm fucking crying!!

[TUGAmetallica000]

wow1!! im crying cause of this

[jbeligni]

no words to describe this , really

[benitesw321]

is there a specific scale used in this solo?

[Martykrik001]

@benitesw321 well I don't know which specific scale he is useing, but its a deffently a exotice japanes.

he says he not really use scales like major and minor and pentatonic scales, he says he is useing scales he made him self, and exotice japanes. I found some japanes scales useing google. :)

[ballermuir]

@benitesw321 you can call it different things in different parts the gypsy scale or the blues scale or the japanese scale or harmonic minor or natural minor or chromatic, but overall he just is using minor chord arpeggios with passing tones in between that fit (passing tones being notes that don't fit the scale but if you just run through them, the tension they provide make them okay to play, like the b5 or major 7th)

[JoakoRC]

el no es humano

[kikestronger]

Friedman is the santana of today

[1bol1]

Metallica is my all time favorite band but marty is a fucking god

[duderock009]

he was the smartest guy in megadeth.

[lu5tic]

@duderock009 what makes you say that? like you know dave elfson or mustaine or nick menza or chris poland or ali whatever or chris broderick or shawn drover and chris drover.. gar samuelson ... ? you mean you personally know the intelligence of all of those guys plus marty well enough to say marty is smarter? yeah thats what I thought

[duderock009]

@lu5tic i said that he was rhe smartest , thata he didnt do drugs and always had a clear goal

[benitesw321]

@lu5tic  getting all butthurt on the internet -_- he was megadeth's best guitarist end of point.

[The77surfer]

Check out Al Di Meola to hear more soulful guitar playing like this. Al has been around for a long time, virtuoso guitar player. I have personally seen him play several times. Go see him live, he puts on a great live show. Normally there is a meet and greet after the show. Al will pose for pictures with you,sign autographs or your guitar if you want to bring it.

[ronco46tyson]

It sounds a lot like "Fado" (Portuguese traditional sad music).

[OLO992]

Kinda makes tyou see a scene from some rocky movie where his brother died or somethign and hes running at the beach remebering
