Marty is THE most original metal guitarist around- his feel and phrasing are totally unique- he is also a master of composition....technique is secondary to melody- but of course he is also a true master of technique also....he was amazing with Cacophony but has truly matured into another level of musicality

Not of his world, makes me cry, touch every part of me soul, thx Marty, thx Herman & thx Becker, thx for my best musical moments when I was 14 ‘88 you guys are a very important part in my life
In 1985 I used to go to his band practices then in 86”when I left Hawaii I told every guitarist on Long Island NY about Marty they all laughed at me before hearing his music because of his name sounding un-rock like. Then soon after Cacophony came out 😊
@@orfeu25 Not sure about a privilege,more like being in the right places at the right time. He was in a local trash band called “Hawaii” I was working on Oahu for a couple of years and my co-wormier was friends with the singer so we used to hang.good times back then. I did run into Marty a couple of years ago and and we had a few laughs.
@@orfeu25 if you only knew my life. I grew up on Long Island NY Charlie Dominici from Dream Theater was my old roommate I’ve known those guys for years as well as Al Pitrelli from Long Island….. many stories and great times. Keep posted Great content man!
I’ve not heard many guitarists being able to improvise solos as catchy and sounding like a final product as much as Marty. Truely amazing choice of notes and when he plays something slightly strange he just jump into the strangeness instead of going back to known territory. What a player !
I think that strangeness you said is kmown territory to Marty. He plays with purpose and intention. That's why he can play all those music styles in the video. I don't think gutrie can match marty. He sounds like jazz is amazing but with the lack of heart. To my taste
I’ve always Loved Marty’s unique exotic melodic phrasing, and he really makes each note stand out and sing :) he’s such a great player and great guy from what I’ve heard :)
Man I hope to one day improvise as good as him. I have watched this probably 10 times at least over past year or so and it blows me away every time. So fkn good
Marty sounds simultaneously like a vocalist, sax, harmonica, and a variety of Asian instruments I don't know the names of. His feel and technique are simply incredible. 🙌🏼🔥🤘🏼💙🐐🙌🏼
Listening to various artist.,, Im easily impressed but then again it aint nothing that you cant do at the end of the day.. listening to marty, makes me wanna just....... Listen!!!!!! until he's tired and he cant play, and just wait for another moment for him to pick that thing up again.
Even Marty can’t tame his talent. He tried to contain himself to allow Herman to play (after Herman grabbed a guitar). Herman wanted to hear. And Marty once again became possessed with raw TALENT.
@@chrisking6695 Ya easier said than done. Marty’s just unique with his style! In a world of clones he was always different an innovator with his phrasing & note choices.
Yo Vi el directo entero y la verdad si se siente la diferencia entre Marty y Lee Marty es mucho más expresivo y combina más la velocidad con la expresividad mientras que lee es mayormente shred y corre por correr mostrando técnicas pero casi sin mucho sentido por el contrario con Marty que hace que la improvisación suene magica
4:48 - 5:28 sounds like something he spent time composing, and he just whipped it out in the middle of a jam. Insane player lol By the way, I saw this entire stream live. In the final few minutes where Marty took questions, I threw one in chat and he answered it :) If you were curious, I just asked what his favorite song from Scenes was (I was really into that album around the time the stream happened). He said something about recently playing the album live about a week before the stream at a show, and he said it was good for the time but he would've done a lot of things differently if he wrote the album nowadays.
11:18 Tf Marty playing over that rhythm like he has played Bamboleo since childhood 😄😄 surprising just awesome 🤯 12:37 that slow tempo always beautiful for Marty ❤️❤️spectacular💯👍
FUCCCCKKKK SOOOO good marty. After hearing this, i really wonder how jason wouldve played at this age? You can tell Marty is in the stratosphere in the phrasing department. So original.
You know back in the day when I watched a video of Marty saying that he left Megadeth because it was a bit too aggressive and thrashy for his style I didn't want to accept it. But watching this video you can really see how much his style shines with med/slow ballads. Marty would be an amazing guitarist for any band. But nothing quite captures his talent quite like his self debut albums. I get that now. He truly has found his voice in the guitar.
Because he created his own sound unlike anyone else. Mostly self taught. Love his philosophy if you mess up on stage playing an original tune just smile and do it again, so everyone thinks was on purpose..
Poor Herman. He couldn't even get in a lick or two before Marty would shut him down! 😂 Yes, I'm aware Herman's parts were edited out. But when you look at through this lens, it makes it all the more funnier. 🤘😝🤘
I'm guessing these have Herman Li edited out as they trade 16s or 32s or whatever and the person editing this deserves kudos for making it as seamless as possible.
Most people don't know this but one of the key factors that makes Marty's sound unique is his strange right hand. The flexed curvature is basically a modified form of the rare Gypsy Jazz style picking, which was invented to create a louder, more aggressive pick attack. He leverages a massive downward pickslant and uses circular thumb picking to get around the string change issue (for example when the pick is below the string and he needs to move to the string above). You can't reach as much consistent speed output with Gypsy style picking as you can with traditional picking but you get MUCH more power. Think of it like the difference between an AK47 and a metronome. AK47 shoots extra fast and clean in short bursts but then soon gets out of control if you keep shooting without rest, but the sound is dynamic and powerful while a metronome maintains consistent high speed, but the sound is rather weak and mechanical.
@@lyell63 Completely agree, but since most already know that Marty's note choice is phenomenal, was trying to shine light on another reason why he just "sounds different" than other high caliber players.
Marty sat the student down and played the guitar. i know why you deleted his opponent's guitar performance. Marty's play are on a different level than that long-haired student.
Nothing, man. At first I tried to stick only with Marty's improvisations to see what he sounded like; I ended up liking the result and decided to post. All respect to Herman, what he did for Jason was also very important (but we're on a Marty fan channel hahaha)

NOBODY in the metal world can touch Marty's feel.
only Jason Becker was on a similar level!
4:53 truly amazing improvising, pure melody
Even Herman Li having eargasm on Marty's playing 😂😂😂

A person who knows how to make their mistakes beautiful can never fail.
The only improviser guitar player that can beat Marty is Guthrie Govan, but he doesn't count because he is an alien out of this world

The shred ballad is the most beautiful instrumental song ive ever heard.
Marty's playing is so distinctive that is recognizable from only a bend or a couple of notes ...
Listening to various artist.,, Im easily impressed but then again it aint nothing that you cant do at the end of the day.. listening to marty, makes me wanna just....... Listen!!!!!! until he's tired and he cant play, and just wait for another moment for him to pick that thing up again.
“I got stuck” 4:46 then proceeds to improvise a whole song and its beautiful
It sounds like he said "god that sucked" 😂 idk
god that sucked he said
@@idk9637ah sorry not native 😅
Marty doesn’t improv riffs and licks during the first run of a backing track. He writes a fkn song. Lol. Legend.
Everybody loves you Marty
You are My inspiration
❤️❤️❤️❤️ From India
This moment at 13:43 when he starts going high, the way he ends that little cheomatic phrase with that half step bend is so gorgeous...
Marty Rules!!!!!!!!! One of the Best guitarist on the planet. No one else plays like him.
Depinde câți chitariști buni ai auzit în viața ta...Shawn Lane este Dumnezeul chitării

Marty is a beast on improvising
Still come back to this
Marty is so original. If I could be one 10th, or 20th of his single guitar bend, after playing for over 25 years, I'll consider myself talented.
Wow thank you so much ! It's the best thing a Marty's fan could ever dream about
Glad you liked it, buddy. It's a shame that some have misunderstood the purpose of the video hahaha, I didn't cut Herman Li arbitrarily
fuck, the pain and joy in those phrasings.
So jealous of Friedman’s bends & vibrato but then every guitar player is!🤟
his note choices are exceptional too
Why, though? You can copy his bends and vibrato to get the feeling under your fingers and from there you develop your own style dude
@@chrisking6695 Ya easier said than done. Marty’s just unique with his style! In a world of clones he was always different an innovator with his phrasing & note choices.
Chris Poland is good too 😉
@@uncleremus5046 Getting someone else's vibrato down is easy. Developing your own personality in your playing isn't. You either have it or you don't.
Marty's ballads are so beautiful!

Anybody else listening to marty but looking at Herman's face?
Holy Shit! I'm not crying.
5:00 amazing
all marty´s emotion is shown when jason becker is the topic
Marty is the best for me. My favorite guitar player.
Everyone already knows Marty is a monster but Herman was also on fire in this livestream!!!
Its a totally different class of player.
Too bad the audio is choppy af. Such amazing playing. Thanks for putting this together!
There’s always someone’s playing that just stands out. 🤟

Marty friedman virtuoso con jason becker. No habrá como ellos nunca.
Shred ballad is absolutely beautiful
Marty, Herman, and Saki jam session would be awesome.
Thanks for the uploading!! Marty as awesome as always!
Nice that you liked it, friend. It took a job but the result was cool
Marty is the David Gilmour of metal.

Those first like 40 seconds…. That tone is so sick. (I don’t know that much about guitars)

If there is a guitar god, he is Marty Friedman.
Absolutely no need for words...
Because he created his own sound unlike anyone else. Mostly self taught. Love his philosophy if you mess up on stage playing an original tune just smile and do it again, so everyone thinks was on purpose..
my eyes are getting hurt by just looking at his right hand but surely my ears and your ears gets what it wants
how does Marty Friedman not have carpal tunnel from playing guitar like that?
Just amazing!
EVH helped me find this.
Poor Herman. He couldn't even get in a lick or two before Marty would shut him down! 😂
Yes, I'm aware Herman's parts were edited out. But when you look at through this lens, it makes it all the more funnier. 🤘😝🤘
Tbh
Even in the Jam session, Marty Just went all out...
Herman was digging it too much.
Marty is soo good when it comes to improv...
😂😂😂
Absolutely! Besides, it was a good free guitar lesson for Mr. Lee! 😁
In fact 😂😂😂 Unfortunately, there was no other way to cut the video and leave only Marty. Anyway, what they both did for Jason was admirable ❤️🎸
Marty plays so uniquely, even though he isn’t a fast guitar player but the notes he can squeeze out of that Jackson though!
Lol
12:14 Those Arpeggios are common to Becker and Friedman
6:37 to 6 46 is such great phrasing
I'm guessing these have Herman Li edited out as they trade 16s or 32s or whatever and the person editing this deserves kudos for making it as seamless as possible.
That picking hand makes my whole arm hurt
Thank you ❤❤❤I adore Jason Becker 👑👑
Jason Becker era un zeu...și așa a rămas

I would argue that his note choice is way more important than his way of holding a pick
@@lyell63 Completely agree, but since most already know that Marty's note choice is phenomenal, was trying to shine light on another reason why he just "sounds different" than other high caliber players.
@@thecommenter9267 I believe he sometimes also haves an autowah with all the knobs down

come on Marty let Herman play a little 🤣 (I know is edition, but seen it this way is funny )
What nice 👍 Marty go go
イケメンさんの顔芸がおもしろい
Who knows what conference software they used?
Marty won this one
Herman is speed monster and best
great marty !
Whenever my name appears on screen it’s so dark it doesn’t show up. So people are @ing me and I’m like “what did I say???” And I can’t find.
how did they sync the song to play together?
11:16 Total Control
If the Master MF just could return to Megadeth so I could die in peace sells ...
I want to herman part too lol
I think I don't have the files on the PC anymore, it would be work to cut everything again. Maybe someday I'll be less busy and with patience....
Here for the Boomer Bends!😏
Marty is not a random guitar player like Herman. He is a real artist.
This made me laugh, made my day 😄
You obviously don't know what you are talking about don't you?
thats kind of rude
you cant not just watch marty and not learn something
the one you didn't find the backing is, I believe, i still got the blues for you by gary moore, at least the progression is pretty much the same
I already found the backing track, thanks
Is that the Dreamtheater dude?
