whaaaattttt???!!!! these guys gotta be seriously kidding me! they only are not fluent in minor 5 scalings but also in nihonggo! Japan must've been a haven for guitar masters...like these two gentlemen...this video has just rocked me to very bottom of my nerves...Megadeth crosses over Racer X....aw come on! Marty and PG...give me a break! you guys rock!
@cockofthenorth I was starting to think the same thing too. I guess the Japanese love shredders and ask them to play a lot in their country and while guys like Paul play in Japan, they pick up some Japanese on the way. That's my theory anyways.
These two together is like a super group! And I don't understand everybodys concern with the way Marty picks. Ever hear the phrase 'don't fix something if it's not broken'?
why is everyone so concerned with Marty's picking technique ?
did everyone forget how amazing of a player he is ?
put that Megadeth album on again and listen to it over and over. Do you hear his technique ? Of course not. Just goes to show there's no right way or wrong way. And I'm pretty sure he's not changing his style any time soon. Being that he's a MULTI PLATINUM recording artist.
What did you accomlish with YOUR perfect picking technique ???!
Martys solo picking sure is odd. When he plays rhythm its fine. Pauls solo and rhythm picking is the same hand shape. Much more efficient to be sure. Im sure its something Marty has thought about changing but it would be a difficult task for him. Hard to break old habits when it comes to playing but just imagine if he did? He would be even more of a monster guitar player. Having said all that his picking style sure hasnt held him back one bit! :)
while marty is a great player, I really think he can only help himself by fixing his picking hand. There's lots of noise interference from the other strings since his hand is below the strings and hence not muting redundant noise. Which is why PG sounds so much cleaner lol.
@molomono it's just not something you expect from big-name professional guitarists. he's great, there's no doubt. but there is really no reason for him using that backwards style.
I dont think there are guitarists in the world that is so completely different than these two guys. But you can see something in this clip that is very sad: Marty doesnt "shine" anymore, and i know why. When he played along Beckers side, Marty was completely happy, but when Jason got sick and couldnt play, Marty seem to have lost something precious and very dear to him. He doesnt smile in the same way. Paul never had that kind of musical relations in Dr.Big and doesnt seem to notice. Very sad:-(
this is good they should do an albulm together just a shame jason becker cant play with them imagune the input hed have in a band today he would have surpassed most players alaive today hopefully one day they will cure him and he will be able to at least play again
Both are obviously awesome and well known in the guitar arena. Marty has some interesting and unique note selection and phrasing (at least to my ears). Paul is as always amazing with his dexterity.
@stoneskunky I believe Marty has lived in Japan pretty much full-time for many years now. Sounds like his Japanese is a bit more advanced than Paul's, and Paul definitely became adept with all the touring. See, American music 'lovers'? It's like disrespecting a girlfriend. Eventually she'll go where she's appreciated.
I say Paul for both. I also say Paul for epic arpeggio sequences and Paul for riffs as well. Basically, I think Paul is the better guitarist, but Marty still kicks more arses to hell than God's foot.
both Marty and Paul are rooted in the 80s shred scene and Shrapnel record label w Cacophony and Racer x respectively. both achieved greater success with Megadeth and Mr.Big and both apparently like Japan (or japanese women probably)
Marty is a self taught guitar player as far as I know...and therefore an idol for many young guitar players, who don't have the money or the time to take lessons. He is one of my idols too.
i think they didn't develop their playing since how many years,when im listening this guys always same things and same things...but Guthrie Govan came and he changed the rock guitar idea..check this British guitarist...
@beachhutblues I'll give you that but all the best ones have their individual skills and talents. I'll tell you that Marty Friedman has more heart and passion in his playing style than Gilbert. Gilbert comes off more as a flawless machine
@AMaskedZebra Yeah, that's great. However, Paul's Japanese is not as advanced as Marty's. You can even see his face revealing how hard he struggles to understand everything Marty sais…

@MapleLeafAce When he bumps a string yes, but thats because the unused strings arent muted by his palm. So they arent noiseproofed.
