Betcha Can't Play This with Marty Friedman #1

[337camo]

No Marty Friedman I can not play that.

[dimetonn]

if you don't like friedman i really think you can't understand what music is

[Stratking01]

It's kinda funny when Marty talks about some of the stuff he plays, he doesn't sound like the most musically educated guy out there, 'I ad-libbed and mixed up a bunch of scales n stuff', but when you hear the guy play, it's just like damn, this guy came outta Julliard or MI or something

[joblo1978]

Marty has no clue what he is doing on the guitar. I'm blown away that he's written so much cool shit.

[IwillbeWaiting]

@joblo1978

Marty has a wide knowledge on theory, he explains a lot of things in his instructional videos

[Livinginthemusic1]

sounds like a bunch of shitty notes and pushed together in a scale!!!!! whats the point

[dsaashley]

@Livinginthemusic1 can you play it?

[337camo]

@Livinginthemusic1 Your comments sounds shitty and what is the point of it.

[Gixxer983]

I hate it when they try to brake down and structure rock and roll..totaly missiong the point.

[bogerthoth]

nice stuff

[galvaoguiar]

Mark Tremonti's Paul Reed Smith Signature guitar!!

[AZIARGROUS]

@galvaoguiar yeah i was wondering what PRS he was playing, is it mark tremonti signature?



[subliminalvirus]

I wont be suprised if nobody could kept up with him

[zparck]

marty please use head and shoulders again your hair looks diferent ;)

[MrLeo2885]

Only marty would say 'hope you can though'

RESPECT

[dreadlockbanana]

Unf**kinbelievable! Did anyone notice that he never uses his fourth finger? It's INSANE!

[endofdecember]

Great player, horrible teacher. "Just mash together a lot of different scales!"

[OpethTheater3]

@endofdecember fuck you. don't say shit about marty as a teacher.

[TheDancingSaxophone]

"Betcha can't play this! Hope you can though." Classic. :)

[lego398]

when i saw the thumbnail i literally said to myself "i bet i CANT play that! its fucking marty friedman....."

[jaimeduendeozzzkr]

I betcha Chris Broderick can play it while eating a sandwich 

[dreamtheaterfan360]

@jaimeduendeozzzkr ha its true

[silentsoldier]

A lot of you are critiquing how bad it sounds... Do you people like listening to some average song bullshit? I Like how Marty pits in different scales and patterns, keeps it nice and unique. Fuck all that average crap.

[MichaelsPortraits]

@glutamine001  LOL ...I hear you man

[hAyWiReDKrAzY]

@MichaelsPortraits GTFO.

[KARVAKY]

@MichaelsPortraits Trolls, trolls everywhere.

[MedvedActual]

@MichaelsPortraits F Dream Theater and Petrucci; guy should be making pizza somewheres in NJ with that name...

[dsaashley]

@MichaelsPortraits have you heard marty friedman??at all, clearly not! this is just an exercise....use google or YOUTUBE to search for more marty videos....

[klawisz12]

Betcha can't pick this

[KHeartall]

I also pick like Marty.

[LANDofCONFUSION]

I pick the same way, nothing is wrong with that.

[SlowhandSolos]

Marty Friedman!

[pestilenes]

I pick just like him

[pestilenes]

what happen to your jackson kelly

[klblackstar]

he picks like I do!!



[TeLaComesEnterita]

Betcha has got to be the worst guitarrist ever ¡he cant play anything!

[beserker1912]

@TeLaComesEnterita OHHH!!! I SEE WUTCHA DID THURR

[LordZerathustra]

@TeLaComesEnterita dumbass

[TeLaComesEnterita]

@LordZerathustra haha sorry i had to make that joke

[rodriguinho180798]

''i'll try to play slow'' LOL

[MrPotatoheadd]

just played it.

[kHeartgrand]

I pick like Mr. Friedman here, so yea, betcha' can't hold the pick like me either.

[betrayer1996]

Anyone else think Marty is high in this video? It was great but he kinda seemed really chill

[zezimadude13]

I have yet to find a betcha can't play this riff that I want to play. They're all far more experienced than me and very talented musicians, but the riffs just don't sound good 90% of the time.

[Ivan4131994]

all this "immpossible marty solo" bullshit is stupid, sure i can't play it cuz im not that good but there are some good players that can but get this bullshit in their head that they can't play it, his solos are like any ordinary difficult solo like dave's holy wars, kirk's dyers eve, john petrucci's constant motion, ect. plus so what if he holds his pick not like others, i play chords using my pinky and middle finger, so what?

[Jaime13R]

marty:betcha cant play this

by some miricle some1 actually plays it

marty:now i betcha cant play with while holding the pick like i can -____-

[meggs0lukas]

i had to watch this twice, the 2nd time after i realized that i only watched his right hand....

[Standby423]

I can't compare Marty, Chris Poland, or Chris Broderick. Three excellent plays with 3 completely diffrent styles. So any guitar Simon Cowells need to stick to guitar hero and let the rest of us rock.

[nicholasfike]

It sounds like shit thats what it is.

[funChick84]

Dear Marty: your picking style is so crazy, that i tried it my self and my head exploded. If you are wondering how i typed this message if my head exploded, well it was the last signal to my hands from my brain before it exploded.

[000acr000]

@funChick84 You managed to type it so that three of the same word is on top of eachother O_O

[grtguitar123]

@funChick84 his picking style is like that because he has a wrist condition.

[MetalTom01]

@funChick84 i liked the part where you said exploded

[1998metalhead1]

@funChick84 R.I.P

[devax1986]

am i the only 1 that thinks the tone sucks and it sounds bad?

[GabGabAuJous]

@devax1986 yeah

[rampage222555]

@devax1986 i believe so

[goodnamepending]

I'm Marty Friedman and I improvise everything that you can't play!

[TheMetalofilia]

"BETCHA CAN'T HOLD THE PICK LIKE ME"

[xStiltzkinX]

@TheMetalofilia nobody can ;D

[GreyTalloN97]

@TheMetalofilia I always hold my pick like that XD

[pathofgore]

@TheMetalofilia Is that a challenge? Challenge accepted

[kokoriko999]

im sick and tired of these adverts on you tube

[PlayMetallica15]

I wish we coudl've seen a DIMEBAG "betcha can't play this" :( RIP

[RattleheadMoney95]

@PlayMetallica15 We should be glad that there wasn't because if he did Dimebag did do a betcha can't play this the world would have blown up due to the awesomeness.

[IMKen]

no one can play that coz no one can hold pick like that.. damn hes good... its damn awesome

[black3rn3ll]

2:37 great tremolo...and epic marty's face!

[Avalanche1368]

FYI. For all the people who have commented that he holds the "pick funny". He plays with his thumbnail not a pick. LOL.... U idiots....Try that next time you pick up ur gitter.

[SuperNoobLamer]

@Avalanche1368 no dumbass plenty of people hold their pick like that. jimmy hendrix for example.

[Avalanche1368]

@SuperNoobLamer Lamer, Marty is not using a pick in this video. Check out the beginning of the vid. He clearly has a open hand with no pick in it when he starts to play. Which is what my comment is about, not how he holds his hand. read if you can the comment first if you can before responding..I was responding to comments that he "holds his pick funny" when in fact he is not using a pick. As for his hand postioning that's just his style. Works great for him.

[bendy44]

@Avalanche1368 Don't be silly. He is using a pick, which is eeeeeeeasy to tell from the tone. As for "open hand at the start of the video", his pick is curled into his middle finger whilst his hand's flat against the guitar.

[Avalanche1368]

@bendy44 There's no pick in his hand I looked at the vid very closely on a 60" HD flat screen. He starts off with his open hand on the guitar, then he pulls it away open and points his opened hand down vertically. No pick as gravity would of taken over. If you start and stop the vid while he plays and look closely, you can see he uses his grown out thumb nail and somtimes his 1st finger nail to play. As for tone, nails are very hard besides you'd see the pick when rotates his hand 90 degres

[sixxthunderbird]

@Avalanche1368 I can see the pick clearly on a lap top screen in 360p..

[bendy44]

@Avalanche1368 Really? A) You must be deaf if you can't hear that this is picked. B) Pause the video at around 0:16-0:17 and admire the yellow plastic "thumbnail" in all it's glory.

[xBchify]

This is bad. Really Bad. Super bad.

just go to /watch?v=OfsLcEriDcA

and listen to the part 1:10 - 1:29 in that video.

It's a solo by Marty, which is 100000000000x better than this.

[TheMetalofilia]

hey this is marty friedman and betcha hold the pick like me

[mumisfits]

Hey this is Betcha, and Marty Friedman cant play this.

[araminibest95]

of course kirk hammet can't play this

[foreverPAOK]

"hi im marty friedman and i betcha can't play this, hope you can though. such a good guy and a great guitarist!

[hugopereira14]

@foreverPAOK yes,very humble of him to say that,in a way.

[Nerfets]

2:32 awzum

[SuperDORITOS420]

his heads way out of proportion with his body.. someone needs to hit the gym.

[Mtc529]

@SuperDORITOS420 Who the fuck cares about the size of his head, the man is a god.

[SuperDORITOS420]

@Mtc529 then howcome hes not in dethklok? his heads too damn big.

[sykhophaunt7]

hey this is marty friendman and i bet you cant the same picking angle as i have....

[darkroomxvii]

it obviously doesnt effect his playing but he holds his pick so weird!

[sweetgyy]

he is cool 

[Powerslave102]

He can truly make anything sound amazing.

[VengeanceAfter]

Betcha Can't play that the way he holds that pick

[callumWLB]

@VengeanceAfter hes not using a pick, its his fingernail

[AzzaDutt]

You're right Marty, I can't play that the way you do... No human picking hand functions that way without insta carpal tunnel!

[la7lu]

HEY! HE'S MARTY FRIEDMAN do you think that he doesn't know how to hold a pick? if he holdes like that it's for something, it is better to his way of playing he's a professional, he learned how to hold it "good" as you say, but he is in conditions to decide that that position it's better for him.

[MrPublic7enemy]

@la7lu i wasnt insulting him im just saying it looks kinda weird how he holds the pick

[la7lu]

@MrPublic7enemy it wasn't for you man

[MrPublic7enemy]

@la7lu oh yea i see

[MrPublic7enemy]

He has a weird picking style

[UnDeaDxKillAx]

@MrPublic7enemy well your a dumbass

[MrPublic7enemy]

@UnDeaDxKillAx thankyou sir

[zurgoku]

well, at least he shows how to play it :)

[newblife]

is this the guy from dragonforcE?

[m4f14d4d]

@newblife Dude this was the lead guitar player in Megadeth, please don't insult him by saying such statement. No offense but Dragonforce is nothing but gay solos made up with a lot of effects and lack of skill.

[newblife]

@m4f14d4d oh shit, i like megadeath. and i have nothing against dragonforce, but compared with megadeath their total shit, yeah i understand thats an insult. i really wasnt trolling

[williamwst]

If the purpose is play something hard... why he didnt just play that exotic melody with that killer bends/vibratos, i don´t know anyone who can play the way he do

[TheMoonPhoenix21]

I love it how he takes his time to explain and play slowly.. He is not there to show off.. hes here to learn.. That is what makes him an awesome guitar player... ah and there is the awesome guitar playing skills..

[facialwhiplash]

watching videos like this make me wish i hadnt raged on my SG... cus now im stuck with a starter washburn whose strings are like an inch of the fretboard and i dont have the right tool to lower them X(

[lucusarts1]

Using extended scales. Satriani uses those.... Anyway, Friedman and dave are excellent guitar players. I've been playing for 25 yrs. Some things are soooo easy to play. It will take only a few minutes to learn a song, solo and all. But megadeth?? NO. Those guys get after it. Not only are they moving but damn!!! that's a lot to remember. lol

Keep Picking everybody, best wishes,

Chris

[AndrewCohanim]

It's the easiest Betcha Can't Play This ever.

[diemutha666]

Betcha Chuck Norris is watching...

[LeperMessi4h]

i know why he can play that, meanwhile he is playing he is saying some conjurings

cheater

[cacophony1]

i love how marty is trying so much not to say the scale he is in because he doesn't know it.

[ixcaliber]

@cacophony1 He invented his own scales anyways. Well.. not invented, more like 'discovered' them.

[IronRoxx]

He's just being kind to us, so that we wont kill ourselfs =P haha he's god

[ZuoCruz]

Betcha the fans want you back in Megadeth.

[SixOneCyx]

It takes a mature musician to hear another mature musician.

[swordcollection]

Marty, you mind telling us how the hell you did the 10-17-16 leggato on the first string. The second part of the Tornado of Souls solo- right after the arrpeggios. Or in particular, how a short fingered little fuck like me can strech like that.

[reaperofgenocide]

@swordcollection yeah..... marty isnt going to reply to you. If you really wanted him to reply try reaching him in a more realistic way.

[swordcollection]

@reaperofgenocide I was not beeing serious.

Did you really think I was naive enought to asume that Marty fucking Friedman would respond to my comment?

[reaperofgenocide]

@swordcollection sorry, my fault. I can tell now that you werent really serious. But there are ppl who honestly think like that... im sure you know of the sort on every other music video that thinks they'll reach the artist from some random youtube video.

[swordcollection]

@reaperofgenocide No hard feelings man.

But seriously: was half the solo writen by Chris Poland. 10-17 leggato- damn

[reaperofgenocide]

@swordcollection Chris poland is THE MAN. I like both chris and marty.

[0DaveC]

@swordcollection in answer to your actual question.. The way I do it is index finger on the 10, pinky 17 and ring 16. There are much harder parts in that solo, truth be told haha :}

[voodookiss1976]

"betcha can't pick this" the way Marty picks his strings!

[x70xchallengerx]

Bet Chris Broderick could play this... xD

[Dionese17]

@x70xchallengerx but he can not create such phrases

[TheChuckNorris1997]

Marty Friedman holds the pick weird

[MrCrager47]

yeah man hes awesome and he actually encourages us to try to play this and takes his time to teach us how \m/(^.^)\m/!

[megatron515]

Yeah yeah go ahead and talk smack. Listen to some Cacophony, shit your pants, and then say marty isn't that good.

[owlsrfun47]

My face was ripped off at the last lick

[Buttanick]

Betcha can't compose this?

[donyhann]

this isn't really a lick, its a guitar solo

[HallJJ08]

@TheSimphonyofsoul willnt?

[razzyrosbourne]

lawlz did anyone see him smash on the low E at the beginning :D

[smoofed]

yeah! MEGADETH!



[rodinrombeau]

Damn... how old he looks in this video... jajajaja

[TheBobby73]

I think I might be Betcha. :(

[SergeiTheAnarch]

to bad freidman went to go play J pop

[TYLERSIXX6]

presss 9 it looks like hes jizzing him self xD

[Khaiazizburns]

if he is talking about how he picks, i dont think anyone can play that

[josephkallifffraude]

Keep pressing 9 and you will hear some engine sound~ =D

[vampirenosferatu]

in soviet russia, betcha can play everything

[QUARlgnd]

keep pressing 1!

[shishir16089]

he coud hav pauyd one of his solos hangar 18 ..symphony of destruction..its al difficult

[own4ger]

dude that's a lot of different theory played in 11 seconds XD

[maoribrotha53]

all of marty's betcha cant play this videos sound kinda the same, the second one only seems different cause its longer but it still sounds pretty much like the other 2

[EXTIQUE]

HEY,,MARTY FREIDMAN,,ILL' BET YA YOU CAN'T PLAY A GUITAR LIKE REB BEACH,,CAN YOU,,??? FUCK NO YOU CAN'T!!! REB BEACH IS YOUR DADDY!!!

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@EXTIQUE you were obviously trying to make a joke...so i guess i won't need to point out how incorrect you are

and i don't need to let you know that marty is leagues ahead of that cock rocker you mentioned.

[yosimite20]

his form for his picking hand is rather...............unusual, but unique

[boxtrap21]

Someone get Marty his kelly back!

[leasecleaning]

nice tone marty!

[wntersun666]

THUMBS UP IF YOU THINK DIMEBAG DARREL WOULD HAVE THE BEST "BETCHA CANT PLAY THIS'' IF THAT DILDO BRAIN HADENT SHOT HIM

[XGLDF]

I am SO glad to see that Marty Friedman holds the pick the same way as I do.

I've been holding the pick like that since the beginning, years ago. Today, I don't know if holding the pick like this will make some stuff impossible (Learning it all from the start is hell). But now that I see that Marty holds it the same, I know that it is possible to at least do the things he can.

Relief*

[xXDimistreoXx]

@XGLDF yeah everybody holds it differently dont let anyone ever tell you that your doin it wrong! :)

[joaocarlospalhinha]

u suck... chris broderick puts you in his pocket and broderick suck none the less :P

[INTOtheVOID11]

@joaocarlospalhinha Broderick plays like a fuckin robot.  Friedman has 1000x the feel that Broderick has.

[joaocarlospalhinha]

@INTOtheVOID11 true said !

[cherrysoda3]

Terrible pick holding.

[Kolgroth]

@cherrysoda3

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Terrible pick holding?

Sorry can't stop laughing XD

He's Marty Friedman and you are?

[kbuff234]

@cherrysoda3 it doesn't make a difference, just because his pick hand turn into a claw doesn't mean there's a problem. and furthermore, he's a freaking phenomenal player.

[fandino18]

@cherrysoda3 dude when you've played alongside with dave mustiane in megadeth, with jason becker in cacophony and compose songs like tornado of souls, hangar 18, holy wars, symphony of destruction and savage you can tell Marty Friedman that he has terrible pick holding ohterwise please SHUT UP ASSHOLE!!!!

[FoolishDrunkz]

@fandino18 all while on heroin and coke and just about every damn drug there is

[8renato8]

@fandino18 its a verry good guitarrist its a god a he have his own stile to use a pick and you are a poor fucking asshole who doesnt now about music

[Nicktube09]

@fandino18 Now won't you feel retarded whne you find out that you were responding to Chris Broderick...
