Jason Becker and Marty Friedman - Concerto (Japan1989) Guitar Clinic

[sm0kinstrat]

NUMBER 1: This is NOT Marty Friedman. NUMBER 2: @naja69us1, Marty Friedman is NOT Japanese. Marty played Carvin guitars at the time that this was recorded and even when he's sitting his picking style is instantly recognizable.

[matyasd88]

very good video

[shawnspeed3]

What ever happened to Marty Feldman?

[MooseStudios2009]

'Angel on earth-Andres rodriguez'

[MooseStudios2009]

I am a young guitarist whom aspires to be as good as this god. here is my tribute song, i made it not for money or for prophit, but beacuse i love music and jason becker helped me undestand and ust that love :)

[yobhsiFehT]

Am I alone in thinking that the timbre of the 80's shred guitar style doesn't do anything for classical music? :S I realize that's going to be heresy to a lot of shred-heads out there, but still, the texture just doesn't sound right to me.

[marviosantos]

@yobhsiFehT Not Marty's or Jason's, no, but then again they really didn't play neo classical stuff. But there are tons of 80's shredres out there that had the perfect tone for it, none the least Yngwie :)

[c4bb4g3]

@yobhsiFehT yeah, you are alone. this stuff's beautiful to me.

[yobhsiFehT]

@c4bb4g3

The MUSIC obviously has the potential to be beautiful, I'm just saying the tone and timbre of the guitars is usually pretty unpleasant:S

[c4bb4g3]

@yobhsiFehT ah. well, you get used to it over time, I suppose. Tone's usually a secondary issue for me anyway, unless it's glaringly annoying. This sounds fine to me.

[rickmarr71]

could it be akira takasaki?

[goatmeat42]

Thats not marty friedman,its rob halford you dummies !!!

[juanperez43]

@goatmeat42 are you stupid?

[ibanezhead1]

Its not Marty its a fan from japan that was at the clinic.. jason would bring people up and play with them during some of the clinics he did especially in japan..

[lexxstryker1]

deffinately IS friedman you fuckin know-nothing retards.

[JLFGuitar]

@lexxstryker1 ya i don't know what all you crazy people are thinking because its totaly marty friedman , look up interviews or other vids from this time, he looked exactly like this , im sorry but the facial charateristics arn't that of a japanese person , he has the same hair , guitar , outfit and tone as friedman , did you know he was like 19 or 20 years old here and lastly he does have marty friedmans wierd picking techniche its just not so extreme looking cuz he's not standing.

[JLFGuitar]

[BasementCandy]

Definitely not Friedman. The size of this guy's hands, the way he picks, the way his left hand is angled, the way he vibratos, the way he jams, even his face looks slightly off (although his face is barely distinguishable). This guy is a fantastic player, but he's not Marty Friedman.

[SokSa]

if there is a god, why did this happen to Jason Becker he/she/it should answer this first. then we'll talk.

[fhpr68]

@SokSa You're implying that what happened to JB is 'BAD'. If so where does GOOD & BAD even come from without God? Before your question is even valid you have to explain where GOOD & BAD come from.

[SokSa]

@fhpr68 Not a place for a theological discussion dude. mine is but a plain cry of anguish.

[fhpr68]

@SokSa I hear you! And that, 'anguish/emotions', are always the hardest to come to terms with when trying to find a logical answer. The heart doesn't always want to hear what the head is saying.

[eyeflow9]

@fhpr68 would you please just shut the fuck up and enjoy the music.

[fhpr68]

@eyeflow9 I did enjoy the music, who are you to tell me to shut up?

[TheExperience09]

what was that at 0:30? lol

[rrhynes]

Boring as fuck, but great skills.

[MrSpiffy51]

@rrhynes boring? theres something wrong with you...

[pmacFTO]

Marty's right hand is held very distinctly and bends up more than you would expect. This guy is indeed Japanese - I'll ask Kyoji Yamamoto (VowWow) if he knows who it is...maybe just someone at a guitar clinic (he is watching Becker pretty closely to follow what is being played) or even somebody like Akira Takasaki from Loudness?

[CarlioNerd]

he don't use the pick with 4 fingers, so he isn't marty :D

[judgeofwar]

i ve never seen marty doing some tapping licks...

so it's not marty...

[megadan502]

marty doesn't tap lol

[DigitalPosion]

and when the fuck have you seen a jap with long curly hair..

[DigitalPosion]

ITS MARTY! I SAW THE POSTER MARTY IS WEARING THOSE BOOTS ON THE POSTER. NOW STOP ARUMENT

[024leoj]

@DigitalPosion  Wow, just admit you're wrong, thanks for the video and get on with our lives???

[deanmlshredder]

i would love to see a tab for this. on the other subject i don't think this is Friedman either. the pick hand thing has been pointed out many times so i don't really need to say this but nobody holds there pick like marty and this guy isn't doin it. besides that there is the fact that Becker and Friedman played together so much that i would think they'd sound much better than this.

[satchsatch33]

I always thought that Jason Becker was dead for many years.....fortunately, I was wrong !!!!!

[matt2eadgbe]

December 21st 2012... Becker plays the guitar again.....

[666tomko666]

@matt2eadgbe I wish it could be possible... ;/

[ebayisajoke]

I don't think this is Marty in this video, Marty has a different picking style. You can tell by the way he holds his picking hand.

[GoatMee]

@ebayisajoke Totally agree, also the posture, the way he's constantly checking out Jason ... I would put my money on "this is not Marty" bet.

[cybersnake]

That's not Friedman, it's some Japanese guy

[louzarv1]

agreed, not Marty 

[AdjebennShredder]

Yeah, i guess he isn't MF, look at his face, a little bit strange. Whatever.

[Novellindra]

why.?

[fer40466]

sin duda unos de los mejores guitarristas

[RindraRado]

Ok to whoever thinks this is Marty on the right... Dudes, come on... Just look at his picking hand. If it was Marty, he'd have this weird-ass crow-foot angle to it. So yeah, that's not him.

[naja69us1]

That is not Marty, you can tell by the way he picks and the fact that he is not japanese.

[rredzone]

@naja69us1 kinda looks like bruce from Racer X, but im not sure

[fhpr68]

That is NOT Marty Friedman!

[juanjillocr]

is this after jason lost his physical abilities? i mean, the whole thing stinks

[walterworrall]

MARTY!!!

[theripper013ok]

the other guy ISN'T marty, look his right hand technique

[TheZlasher]

1:05. clearly not marty.

[reaper2ooX]

seriously jason becker plays it cleaner

[1SOULKISS]

mozart would be in shock 

[treadstone1]

Marty picks differently in this video compared to the way he picks these days. Most videos I've seen him in these days his pick hand is kinda below the strings.

[yuricriss]

@treadstone1 it's not marty on this marty man!

[GuitarMusica112]

15 people play bass

[67goldtops]

YAWN. Wake me when it's over.

[goodygoody23]

@67goldtops After a comment like that I hope you never wake up

[67goldtops]

@goodygoody23

Uhhh huhh. Because this is such compelling, original phrasing. Man, those endless sweeps are just riveting! I've never heard ANYTHING like it...

[00breakingboundaries]

two legends \m/

[berkmustaine]

kaiserSYC the other guy is marty friedman and its one of the best guitarists around the world.

[wpstudart500]

"duet with mary friedman" ok...

[bordertown]

Is the other guy really Marty? He certainly doesn't hold the pick the way Marty does.

[Wonderbread316]

@bordertown I don't think it's Marty either. You're right he doesn't hold the pick the same way and his hair doesn't look big enough. If it's not him I don't have a clue who it could be.

[MarlboroClassic]

@bordertown no its not marty.. its mary friedman

[MrUurgghh]

thahts not marty , fuck you .

[yergui87]

marty not fail ... EVER! that's not marty

[KornSOAD]

It 's marty. You can tell by his shitty tone. haha.

(No offense Marty, but your Cacophony tone sucked)

[johnland82]

@KornSOAD Yeah it did :P

[rampage222555]

@KornSOAD thats not marty. Its obvious. and alot of people really liked martys solo tone in cacophony. the solo tone in the ninja right before the vocals started was epic.

[KornSOAD]

@rampage222555 I'm talking about his live tone.

[12lnaved]

it is marty idiots, how the hell do you think he sweeps. look at his hand, its not in a normal position anywas

[hairlessdog101]

@12lnaved That is

NOT marty Friedman you nub

[Zapuzime]

Json recovered 3 muscles.... =) God help's him to recover complete

[RyuHayabusa06]

@Zapuzime God helps him recover? Um, where was this god over the past 20 years that he's been suffering from ALS? The only hope Jason Becker has is science and the new medical advances it provides.

[VanishaGlamChick6]

@Zapuzime Really !? If it´s true i haven´t heard these great news , if it´s true God help him to get back on his feet again .

[junkerde]

@Zapuzime fuck god. give stem cell research.

[detroidxl]

@Zapuzime There are roughly aroudn 656 to 800 muscles in the body.

I know your pain my friend ='[

[tcykman]

@Zapuzime how the hell do you know it?

[rockinghell91]

@Zapuzime leave god out this. it's great that jason is making progress though.

[fenderwangcaster]

@rockinghell91 Just because the christian bible is as fake as greek mythology and the rest of the religions, doesn't mean there isn't still a god. Life is conscious energy, life isn't just biomass. Consciousness can exist purely as energy, it can exist as part of the zero point energy field. A consciousness who exists as and manipulates energy as enormous as the the zero point energy field can do everything the Christian god is able to do, it doesn't break the laws of physics.

[trian2323]

@fenderwangcaster the  god is dead xaxaxaxa nightstalker or nitsche your choice xaxaxaxaxa

[AnimalRepellent]

@fenderwangcaster You call that agnostic :=)

[markfromjc1]

not marty

[MrMethadrine]

super mario last boss theme.

[AlaanxGalneryus]

@MrMethadrine fuck you

[MrMethadrine]

@AlaanxGalneryus i get that a lot in here the last days hahahahaha

[BOKNOWSCOMPUTERS]

computer noises symphony

[jcolella2]

12 idiots --'

[Hintz6]

everytime i watch a video of Jason and Marty I think what would they have become if Jason hadn't had ALS. We'll never know, but for the time they played together they were incredible.

[beefcake0354]

@Hintz6 you do realize that wasn't Marty Friedman, right?

[Hintz6]

@beefcake0354 I do now. It's beside the point though.

[BlueZipher]

Who the hell is that!? It sort of looks like Friedman but its not. He doesnt look japanese either.. See the last frames in the clip? That "ok" gesture? It really does look like marty. Here comes the headaches again...

[hairlessdog101]

@BlueZipher thats not marty

[BlueZipher]

@hairlessdog101 Ya' think..?

[hairlessdog101]

@BlueZipher w/e dude

[ThePepitothepew]

It's not Marty... Look at his right hand technique ...

[BelethRising]

That is most definitely NOT Marty Friedman.

[jesusmiguelv]

Aqui no está Marty Friedman, es un error

[ddt44ss]

9 moslék

[ubershredder1989]

that fagget ass nigga aint no marty friedman y'all

[kaiserSYC]

JB does ti perfectly, but the other guy has many mistakes

[mike104100]

@kaiserSYC that other guy is marty friedman, and he is now one of the best guitarist of the world

[Jonsk12394]

@mike104100 - It isn't Marty Friedman in this video. Just becker and some random asian musician

[kaiserSYC]

@mike104100 Marty Friedman doesn't pick like that. Try to learn more about Marty :)

[Martyfriedman001]

@kaiserSYC the guy is not marty right ??

[Deth0]

@kaiserSYC Bad-mouthing Marty Friedman? Jason's even said that he stands out from all guitarists... Noob

[kaiserSYC]

@Deth0 It's so hard for you to understand that he's not Marty? Marty's picking style it's completely different. Noob

[Deth0]

@kaiserSYC Like i actually watched the video -.- the sound quality is terrible

[DerekAKimbro]

@kaiserSYC This is such a complex piece that no combination of guitarists could do it completely in sync and exactly the same.

[0ZAZU]

@DerekAKimbro these guys do an amazing job but of course there are a few mistakes

[DerekAKimbro]

@0ZAZU No doubt! They did a great job!

[TheSchafer78]

@kaiserSYC I always said marty friedman was kinda sloppy

[megashadow998]

@LEMONS4R3PRETTYGOOD it seems the other guy is like Japanese guitarist. i watched this video over two times and now i got. but i may would be wrong.

[frabs91]

@LEMONS4R3PRETTYGOOD thats not marty

[adisharr]

@LEMONS4R3PRETTYGOOD That is not Marty.

[d24isDURIAN]

@LEMONS4R3PRETTYGOOD lol marty has his own picking style that aint him. Its probably some japanese guy shredding along side jason

[MartyFriedmanRulez66]

@d24isDURIAN That's Marty dude, that's the main melody to the song so he needed to pick like that you dumb shit, watch him in Megadeth during the rhythm portion he picks normally, then switches to his regular style for leads.

[juefe]

@LEMONS4R3PRETTYGOOD NOT MARTY FRIEDMAN, NOT AT ALL.

[LEMONS4R3PRETTYGOOD]

@juefe i know i know, you're like the tenth person to point that out

[junkerde]

@LEMONS4R3PRETTYGOOD not Marty friedman at all

[LEMONS4R3PRETTYGOOD]

@junkerde ok, i know this, it's been pointed out.... multiple times, i'll remove the comment, sorry

[TheTrev1016]

@kaiserSYC Yeah but the other guy is his mentor and best friend..XD

[Testacojones]

@kaiserSYC It sounded good to me, where are the mistakes? Also this piece was composed by "the other guy" Marty Friedman.

[Bluenetters]

very2 beyond godlike!

[19690115Wolf]

He isn't Marty. He is a japanese guitarist HISASHI. He was in a japanese rock band X.

[Olhor10]

They are nodding all the time to show how well they understand eachother ,hehe

[MRICARD0M]

juas el que se supone que toca la guitarra de marty friedman toca bien mal... se nota cual sonido es de cual guitarra.

[ZackAPack]

God I would have gave anything to sit with those two all those years when they were practicing to play like that

[iwingmusic]

when two people is playing same notes all song long together is like the chick follows its mother, lol ... own improvisation is always the best, that's what music is.

[shenkeey]

@iwingmusic they are harmonizing eachother

[iwingmusic]

@shenkeey you're right if the song above is an official song. i'm just saying that the video title above says clinic. clinic means the maestro teaches people or students to get the technique or theory being used by the maestro either to improvise or practicing, not to play what the maestro plays in his/her albums/songs all along. The guy isn't in the maestro's albums/songs right?

regards

[makakon69]

no es Marty, porque el usaba una guitarra Carvin roja y aparte por la tecnica que es muy diferente =)

[shredftw]

one of them is out of tune slightly...

[AVALANCH1971]

[mikejung75]

[xdipax]

[duchito1]

Well, I doubt that this is Marty, look at the picking hand, it does not look weird angled, so i suppose its not him

[1madaboutguitar]

@duchito1 Exactly

[wizardofvortex]

@swordstauker worst comment ever

[felphero]

[sedativeman]
