    Marty is so good, I'm never thinking " oh, he's sweeping that" and "here is the legato bit". Technique in service of great melodies and inventive sequences. Marty is the best.

      Such a great way to describe it, hate watching a guitarist solo and just being like oh yep now he’s doing a nice repetitive legato lick, ok now he’s doing a triplet run, u never notice those things with Marty cos ur too focused on his beautiful phrasing!

    What I particularly love about his compositions is that they always feature many cool chord changes and modulations. It's not jazz music at all, but I think it's fair to say he composes and improvises with a jazz-like mindset, which makes him very unique in the rock/ metal world.

    His playing on "Self Pollution" from his 2017 album Wall of Sound, is probably my favorite composition / solo of his.
    It's got everything: killer riffs, interesting arrangements, great chord progressions with lots of unexpected turns... And his lead playings floats so gracefully and naturaly above all these changes, it's incredible.

    I remember in an interview he gave way back in his prs days, he talked about taking the Japanese pop approach to songwriting. He made comparisons between the typical 4 chord progressions you see in 90% if western pop music and the long jazzy chord progressions in Japanese pop music. You can see that style with this song.

    Marty was my first HOLY SHIT guitar master. Slash was the man who really cemented me into picking up the guitar, Appetite was life changing for my 13 year old self…then a taste of Metallica with Justice, which paved the road for heavy music and tight rhythm playing….
    And then I got Rust in Peace and heard Marty and that was like OH MY GOD, HOW THE FUCK DO YOU MAKE THAT SOUND LIKE THAT?? Who is this madman with the jet black Jackson Kelly?? My first “real” guitar was a Charvel with those Sharkfin inlays.
    This solo is awesome. I love his solo stuff. Some of my favorite Deth era Marty’s are number 5 & 6 from Hangar 18, Lucretia, and the VERY underrated monster from The Killing Road…and of course Tornado.
    His “Flipper” picking technique will puzzle players for the rest of time. He also doesn’t like gear and is basically clueless about it. Ohh Martin….don’t ever change 😂

    • @revhappymv
      @revhappymv Год назад +3

      His right hand lends a lot to his tone, I've found trying to mimic him. His down strokes are very different from his up strokes. He mostly down picks then whips out the sharp uppick when he wants a note to really sing. Picking that way automatically gives you a ton of dynamics that you wouldn't have with the traditional "correct" way to pick. Also it's surprising comfortable once you get used to it.
