About Jackson:
Jackson began back in the late 1970s, when heavy music experienced a flamboyant and virtuosic resurgence in popularity and a small Southern California guitar repair shop became the epicenter of a new level of shred-approved excellence. Ever since then, Jackson guitars have been universally lauded as the metal guitars; the shred machines—highly original high-performance instruments of distinctive style and formidable substance. From metal’s chart-topping peaks to its darkest recesses, for discerning guitarists all over the globe, Jackson is the only way to go.

DAMN, Friedman still doesn't fuck around lol. so tastefully soulful and melodic, what a lad.

[metalllus]

how marty is able to feel and expand the vibe of misha's rhythm track so perfectly is beyond me.

[joeyatkins]

No one wants to talk about that rad Marty Friedman solo with “ mic drop” at the end ?!?❤🔥🔥🔥😂

[dfwmetal]

This shit had me grinning. Marty Friedman has aged like wine. Smooth operator.

[progpogs]

Marty is absolutely next level, so much expression from his part without even putting the tremolo bar in, masterclass.

[bennyelsensohn]

I am still not quite sure if this is an Ad for Jackson Guitars or Doc Martens, but very well done! Great video idea and killer song!

[JoaoFerreira-fxxp]

That pastel pink on Misha is gorgeous. Seeing Davidson without a warrior is weird, I must say.

[vlsis]

The BEST guitar advertisement I've seen in forever! So many talented artists gathered in 4 minutes amazing, I'm SOLD!

PS:
I expected to see a wild Brandon Ellis to po up, but I guess the video would implode!😂😂

[sumtingwong]

Marty Friedman still killing it till today!

[ironbeast]

The way Marty finishes his solo and melds back into the main riff...and looks at the camera and flicks his pick...I WANT THIS LIVE!!!

[peytonpepper]

This is literally the sickest introduction to a new guitar series ever

[cleverdodo]

Ok, now that's how you roll out a new model. Well done Jackson!

[BK-lxmo]

DAVE DAVIDSON 🙌
Have to say I’m really impressed with Clint Tustin as well—great feel

[MichaelMark]

I can hear the Nobuo in Misha's playing. so sick!

[Jonnydrums]

Marty Friedman on a Misha joint is wild. That was sick!

[ihatehume]

Got to be honest, the sheer joy in the artists playing this guitar in this video might’ve sold me on these. It doesn’t hurt that they all seem to be bad ass guitarists.

[FernandezCycles]

I guess Fender owns Jackson and Doc Martins now 😗

[sketmetal]

I was just hoping to see Marty being amazing again, but i didn't expect to fall in love in 2:20

[RÅNÇIÐ]

Lol, Marty just needs to play a single note and you instantly know it's him. 😆

[antxgrinder]

Such a badass group of guitarists, well done all. Love seeing Marty involved in the younger crowd, he was one of my favourite players growing up, still one of the most interesting and unique players 30 years on. Misha Mansoor, one of the best dudes in the game, Solo album is off the chain, so happy to see him getting some spotlight here.
