I'm a big fan of the Rick and Marty episodes

[davidsummerville]

He is one of a kind. The guitar world is lucky to have him.

[tak]

You know that Marty's been in Japan a long time if he forgets English.

You also know it from his cadences and "aw" when he's listening to Rick. That's so clear.

What a fantastic player with an amazing palette.

Marty is a true (Grandmaster) artist. It doesn't matter what medium you use, his approach works for all of them. Whether it's music, painting, animating, carpentry, etc. All crafts. All of this applies. Learn the rules, then break them.

I learned about Marty when “Symphony of Destruction” came out and it’s my favorite Megadeth album to this day. Great songs, but Marty’s solos are so melodic and tasty they never get old.

[PistolsPlayground]

Marty was one of my only guitar heroes I met that didn't disappoint me.
He was super kind, and remarkably generous with his time and answered a lot of my questions.
He's one of the best guitarist EVER, and a awesome dude.

[skeeterman]

Who all had to go grab a guitar while watching this? Marty….. such a nice dude.

[milanpolak]

Marty and I used to hang out a few times when he was still in Megadeth. He would come to my place to jam and we would go eat sushi. Unfortunately we lost contact when he moved to Japan. I always thought that he was one of the most unique players in the world of guitar...

[Howenow]

I met Marty in 1989 after a Cacophony show, and it was a little bit awkward. But watching this, wow, what a gentleman and--obviously--a completely unique player. And, boy, the stories Marty could tell !

[Murphy_lab_R]

This excerpt of Marty friedman definitely made me have a new respect for him and his playing that i previously did not have.
His "Make the guitar your voice" concept is something a few guys have spoken of as far as making the guitar lines more vocal like, Paul Gilbert has been on this a lot the last few years
so i got it from him and obviously i got it from George Benson who everything he play's is vocal like! The 1000 notes up and down the fret board and arpeggio's out the wazoo has been done to death IMHO. Yeah yeah we get it you can play fast and have technique! NEXT!

[ellisruff]

Hey Rick. Do you think it would be possible to interview Dann Huff?? Would be phenomenal to have a long form interview with him

[pawlpoche]

Dave mustaine was blessed to have Chris Poland and Marty!!!
Chris and Marty’s note (scales) choices and vibrato are impeccable. Both are on my short list of favorite guitarist.

[THE_WOAT]

Scenes and Introductions are such good albums... his Asian sounding solos are great and the melody in those songs is mind blowing. Listen to the song Escapism...wow!

[JS]

Marty’s approach to guitar solos reminds me of Prince’s approach, specifically, the attention to every aspect of “the important notes” which are generally those single notes sustained, bent, with vibrato.

Bravo for the attention to THOSE lonely but critically important notes, Marty! 👏👏👏

[candacereynolds]

DAMN, that Guitar is SINGING...GENIUS!!!

[stilltree]

In the intro part he talks about placing that frame or picture over a perfect or compatible structure. I agree with this because when I look back at years he played with Megadeth I always realize that song structures, song writing of Mustaine and Megadeth had provided him with the best opportunities, foundation and breathing space to lay his solos over them. Especially that infamous Tornado of Souls solo or the solo of Family Tree and a lot more others...

[vwharman]

I have so much respect for Marty, and his approach to music. I’ve never been a huge Megadeth fan, but the work he has done since leaving the band is so inspiring. I love listening to his music in natural landscapes and just adding to nature with his music. It is just beauty.

[Ricky-Jones-]

Over the many years of Marty Friedman I have taken the "follow the chord's" rather than think just about modes, because in purely mode mode things get robotic!!! The "Marty Method" is very vocal like & when you sing a good singer will weave in & out & around the chromatic selection & this really makes you stand out as a player!!
I understand music theory inside out which I'm sure Marty does too, as you can't develop this kind of style without knowing where things are!!!!

[joshbarnes]

Great tips! I remember someone once told me to play phrases like you're having a conversation. Sounds like Marty is thinking similarly.

[autk]

Marty is one of a kind, fantastic style.
