Kirk Hammett vs Marty Friedman

[rynolson]

Meanwhile it's Dave Mustaine's head is bobbing around on the screen.

Doctor Strange talking abt guitarist is something I never thought I needed

[Jester]

This Is not even a comparison Marty is on another level

[randomuselessguy]

Marty: demands megadeth gets more poppy

Also marty: leaves after risk

[stephenjones]

Young Kirk Hammett master of pentatonics

[Dirt_Serpent]

That’s a hot debate. While Marty is absolutely a better player, Kirk wrote more memorable music. Megadeth isn’t a common household name. Everyone has heard of Metallica. Those are facts that simply can’t be denied. We don’t live in a world where better actually means better.

[ProjectMayhem]

No comparison, Friedman is leaps and bounds above Kirk.

[JohnJones-epof]

Marty because he is also a more imaginative player as well !

[MrJohnnyDistortion]

Toni Iommi stays pretty much around the pentatonic but his solo phrasings and especially his rhythmical grooves and imagination are second to none!

[DeathrashWhiplash]

At the bottom of the byzantine scale where it drops a note and slides back up, such a satisfying sound

[neversour]

Why don’t you have a picture of Marty instead of Dave mustaine?

[ANiceDog]

Kirk is a solid guitarist and I mean this with no disrespect: there is no comparing him to Marty.

[gareginasatryan]

Andy LaRocque also plays lot of exotic scales.

[smmusicplus]

I am a Metallica man overall, but I have to go with Marty when it comes to technique.

[MrBrandonLindner]

I'm a Hammett striving to be a Friedman! Lol

[javiertorreszamora]

Marty Friedman is better in all aspects

[metalhead_]

Martyyy, ftw, those Japanese scales just hit different

[ciucciailcalzino]

Bro i’m a die hard Metallica fan but Marty is 100 times better than Kirk

[hokral]

No sane person is going to pick Kirk Hammett over Marty Friedman

[paulmurphy]

Hammett has gotten some pretty cool and memorable solos out of the pentatonic scale over the years though. Especially his solo work on their first 4 albums. As far as I'm concerned, the band went down hill after the Justice album, including most of his solo efforts.
