@@roguishham2809 not so. The truth is that Marty's solos aren't sooooo hard, but they need a extreme precision, and it's the reason why the solos so specials
@@jaumvituu3500 the fact is that he is so melodic and at the same time an incredible shredder, and can write solos with such beautiful scales. When I listen to his solos I'm just speachless
Amps are turned up max, his technique mitigates any feedback. That's why the signal sounds noisey in between licks. Also he hates to palm mute supposedly.
Not that clean but amazingly played with a absolutely sick vibrato and smooth arpeggios. Love his timing too. Sometimes a bit behind or a bit ahead with those notes bent to pitch for the exotic feel. Nobody plays like he does.
Damn that high ass gain and noise frequency is super raw if you ask me.... In a world of digital with all sorts of gates and computers controlling the noise... You won't ever FEEL a solo like you did Marty's.... You can almost feel his physical hands thru your ears..... Every scrap of the pick. Hand movement before muting the sweeps.... Everything is organic in his playing.... This was cool
Believe it or not marty didn’t play with high gain. All the equipment deth used for guitars were stock Marshall heads and cabs bogner preamp in the rack and I believe a eq rack unit.
Would be awesome. And then to see something with all the previous guitarists come together and play a solo in hanger 18 their own way. Well that was a dream i had as a kid at about 16.

If you listen to the rust in peace multitracks, you'll find that every instrument by itself sounds very sloppy, but once it's mixed together it snaps into each other and locks into a groove I haven't found with many other bands (or other megadeth records for that matter).
Today's solos, for example, are inhumanly perfect thanks to quantization and protools being used on just about every damned record. I miss actual life in playing.
@@firmans12 have you heard one of his solos and none of the rest? Lmao, you can say the same for Friedman, uses the same types of arpeggios and Middle Eastern scales for almost ALL his solos.

The peak of thrash metal solo art. To me what is amazing in these solos - besides the creativity and insane technique - is his tone, so unique, nuanced, so rich when compared to other metal guitarists'. It shocked me as a kid and still does now.
I’ve never had much trouble imitating the style of my favorite guitarists, but the Marty stuff is another story. There is something about his sense of timing that is unlike any other guitarist I know today. Very very original style that worked SO WELL in Megadeth.

Simply amazing.
@@eccehomer8182 Uh, no disrespect to Randy Rhodes, but not even in the same ball park. Randy could play some fast pentatonic licks but musically, it's not even close. I've never heard an RR solo that followed the chord progression.
The Extinct Surgeon For his time, Yes, he raised the bar quite a bit, and somehow still manages to tear shit up. If only Jason becker could still play though, him and Marty would have ruled the guitar world!
The solos on Lucretia and Tornado of Souls are some of Megadeth/Marty’s best. Some of the best guitar solos I’ve ever heard in my life. When I first the solo in Tornado of Souls, it changed my life.
Even with all the talent Marty has, you still have to be in the right place at the right time and have good people working for you toget you in front of the line. Marty had all 3 and right before he listens to his inner voice telling him to stop.... The clouds opened up just enough and here I am listening to his money maker
Dimebag is my favorite guitar player of all time, mostly because nobody on this planet can sound like him. Even when Dime played on someone else's rig as a live show guest he sounded unmistakably like himself. But holy shit am I glad that Mustaine took Marty instead and we got this eargasm of music. It's not just the notes he chose for the solos, it's how MARTY played them. Not even he can recreate that sound anymore. He must have been some sort of a trance while recording these legendary tracks and just busted a killer solos after a killer solo. Nobody will ever sound like that.
Marty and Dime are the best shredders of the late 80s/ early 90s scene by far. They both had incredibly tasteful note choice and great technique with Dime's signature scratchy picking and Marty's unorthodox sweeping patterns.
Marty said that he was told to tone down his playing or he'd risk never being able to play again (I'm going to assume it was tendonitis, but he didn't say) but he pushed through it to record Rust in Peace hoping it would be OK. Thankfully it was, but that shows you how much he was pushing his technique at the time.
EVH said that's what makes a great guitarist and it's why he rated Alex Lifeson so highly. However, Marty knows his music theory that's for sure. He's usually modally perfect.
Amazing to hear them alone, you realise these solos are beautiful pieces of music in their own right, you can hear the harmony without the other instruments.
These solos sound so way different when they're isolated. Hearing them with the tracks adds in so many extra notes that it turns out he's actually not playing at all. It's weird, lol.
Isolating tracks like these, I think, gives a really important perspective to guitar players - almost all electric guitar records have some amount of slop in them, and yet these are some of the most famous solos of all time. Don't let perfect be the enemy of legendary.
The beautiful part is, it’s the extra noise and roughness and “slop” that contributes to the amazing and unique sound. His lead work on this album will honestly stand the test of time as some of the greatest guitar playing ever heard. And I’m not exaggerating, I really mean that.
So real talk, I used to post on the Megadeth fan board back when it still existed and I was a teenager. Many people on that board thought Lucretia was the most unforgettable song on the album. I'm SO happy that time has told them to fuck off lmao
@@korhansoydan it's actually my favourite song on the record, next to Poison Was the Cure. I'm currently learning both on guitar. Rhythm down, currently working on solo for Poison Was the Cure
@@korhansoydan much appreciated man, I'll probably post a cover on RUclips of the whole song when I'm happy enough with how I play it. I personally don't think it's one of the hardest solos on the album tho but it is hard
I've been in awe of this entire album from start to finish, since I first heard it in 1991. Still has the same effect on me today. Absolute masterpiece from start to finish. Listening to these isolated tracks today, and with 30+ years of guitar playing under my belt, I'm still shocked at the genius of Marty Friedman. I'll never understand how he managed to get all of that musical vocabulary under his fingers and on tap at such a young age. It really is mind boggling.
As a drummer who also knows how to play guitar, particularly rhythm, the way Marty drifts in and out of the beat is impeccable. I can catch the beat, but then he totally leaves it and plays something face melting and seemingly distraught, only to lock right back into time. Simply remarkable!
Man! I have always thought the same! That lick has a exotic mood that make it sound amazing. For me, it has a sound kinda egyptian or something like that haha, by the way I have a cover of that solo in my channel
The most unique and interesting guitar phrases and choices on any album in the history of recorded heavy metal. Ever. Period. So so soooooooo fucking good 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Megadeth is a great example of what happens when let proficient group of randoms collaborate on a record with fire hot ego leader at the helms. Just get together and shine
Man, Marty is amazing and Marty plays in the key of Marty. Also it is super cool that you do this. I have no idea how you isolate the tracks like this, but I imagine it is a bit of work so thank you.
I love it when newer guitarists just match the notes and timing of these solos and think they sound like Friedman. If you could make notes sing like this you'd be famous.
Dude, I've heard so many awesome guitarists at hole-in-the-wall's it's not even funny. There are actually thousands and thousands of awesome musicians that never become famous.
Fame is a perfect storm of events, it does not fall on just skilled people or hard workers, a huge part of it is the right place, right time. And that's uncontrollable.
And can you believe he played most/some of the solos in a couple of takes with a injured wrist (or at least that's what I'm aware of, that's insane!) And it was ALLL improvised on the spot. Wtf.
Lucretia, man... that solo is simply godlike.
He'll yea.@ 3:38, it sings then screams, then sings. Mart plays with such feeling
I think it would have been better if Lucretia solo was all his, and Dave wasn't involved in it.
Ian Wanna know whats even more amazing? It was totally improvised.
Max Durk that’s so crazy
IVAN3DX Hell no, Dave's solo is great. I don't like the fact that Marty took over most leads post RIP and allowed Dave to get lazy with his solos.
When I first heard Tornado of Souls solo I automatically thought that its probably the most perfect metal guitar solo. 14 years later and I still feel the same way.
Me too.
Same
Same here... it will always be... 👍💪
Cant exactly described it, but the very first time I heard it. I know it would be one of the best guitar solos ever. I can still remember now, the first time I heard it and the feeling that it evokes in me.

Funnily enough, isolated and without the rest of the band I find it much less interesting. Which speaks loud about Marty's purpose of serving the song, instead of trying to be a guitar god.

It was odd to hear string noise as well. He's not as clean as I thought. However, he makes it up with his playstyle.

To think he was capable of writing 5 minutes worth of this for one album. This is why he's the best in metal when it comes to solos.

The most unique and interesting guitar phrases and choices on any album in the history of recorded heavy metal. Ever. Period. So so soooooooo fucking good 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Amazing player. And you can hear that Duncan JB tone all over it. That's why it's such a damn great lead pickup. It really sings in the right hands.
I'm now going to chuck that in my RR2 Korean because of this comment
Megadeth is a great example of what happens when let proficient group of randoms collaborate on a record with fire hot ego leader at the helms. Just get together and shine
Lucretia and Five magics especially a long part are great. Although, i think each Marty solo is masterpiece.
Man, Marty is amazing and Marty plays in the key of Marty. Also it is super cool that you do this. I have no idea how you isolate the tracks like this, but I imagine it is a bit of work so thank you.
My favourite player, my inspiration to keep playing
I love it when newer guitarists just match the notes and timing of these solos and think they sound like Friedman. If you could make notes sing like this you'd be famous.
I agree, for fast solos like this, it's incredibly hard to duplicate the same phrasing and rhythm
Lol watch them try to imitate Chris Poland (lead guitarist on KIMB and Peace Sells)
ex-fucking-actly. i'm studying friedman for over 2 years now and only now i can say with confidence that my bends sound identical to marty lol
Dude, I've heard so many awesome guitarists at hole-in-the-wall's it's not even funny. There are actually thousands and thousands of awesome musicians that never become famous.
Fame is a perfect storm of events, it does not fall on just skilled people or hard workers, a huge part of it is the right place, right time. And that's uncontrollable.
His phrasing is so damn hard on the fingers.
Thanks for posting this brother
This. is. fucking. gold! Thank you X 1000!
3:55 my favorite solo from the album!
how original, no one else does
That little burst of playing excellency in the Take No Prisoners solo at 2:06 is fucking gorgeous
Speechless .
And can you believe he played most/some of the solos in a couple of takes with a injured wrist (or at least that's what I'm aware of, that's insane!)
And it was ALLL improvised on the spot. Wtf.
...and he just made HISTORY.
Really hard to believe so much epic guitar across an iconic album was actually just over 5 minutes in total.
Lucretia is my fav since mid 90s and still is.
You can hear in this that he doesn’t even palm mute but still has a tight ass sound. Proves how much skill this god has
He does use palm muting in the solos in this clip.
This video is PURE GOLD
Hey, all of the good lead playing on Rust In Peace, lol. Nice work.
one of the best videos in youtube
It's amazing how youtube recognises the songs behind these solos.
The look he gave at the crazy section of tornado of souls 😂 it's like "Can you do this, buddy?"
Wow this is 5 minutes of pure awesomeness
he shreds so hard. Lucretia is amazing. Watch him live in Italy 92, Lucretia solo is nailed live
Absolutely beautifull neoclassical solos
My god the Lucretia solo sends chills down my spine
