tornado shows great passion and emotion in it but lucretia has so much arpeggios in it. most guitarists when they play arpeggios in a song dont show emotion but marty tells a story when he does it
The ONLY thing that sux about the solo in Tornado of Souls, is that it ends… Flawless masterpiece. It build so nicely with perfect phrasing and soulful bending, then to an absolutely meaningful barrage of shredful licks. Marty rules!!!
@@baroqueguitarist5673 I think we're talking about Marty solos here. Hangar has like 10 Marty solos...if we're talking Hangar, I like #5 and #6, which is sort of the obvious choice in my opinion.
2007 Exibit B in Japan. Watch that. It absolutely melted my face. The only thing as good as watching Marty shread is the fact he found 3 guys that could keep up with him!
Marty has his own style... you will immediately know its marty playing... i feel lost...such feel...such technique... best guitarist for me...complete package
When you hear Marty... you can always hear him coming a mile away. his style and melodic choices are so distinct.. they scream "that's Marty" he writes the best melodies. His harmonies with Becker were legendary as well.
Tornado of Souls solo should be broadcast to the outer space and aliens in other galaxies when they hear it will start head banging their oversized heads.
I agree if we are ever invaded by aliens play this solo and their oversized heads will start headbanging and they will break their own necks! Invasion averted hehe
alphaenemy he really does bring his guitar playing to life. You can if tell you hear a marty solo completely based off his vibrato. Excellent guitarist 👌👌👌
+Cain Marco hey i have nothing against it fellow rocker.. friedman is great man... i wish i could be slash myself... or have the opportunities he had but hey, im not him, im ME! i support you in your journey man, keep rocking!
+Cain Marco hell no man lol. i was just saying the quote about you being someone else... be you, add some of martys techniques and shit. incorporate that in your music
I grew up with Marty in Laurel md.....watched him play literally in a wooden barn with the group deuce..........it was an incredible experience watching him play at 14 years old to 18
There are great solos in Wall of sound that could easily go to top 10, (especially the main anthem of whiteworm) you should have an updated version. Cheers!!!
Thomasgipsy Shawn lane was as accomplished as a pianist too. he was simply a prodigal musician period. amazing on guitar too.. and its not his speed i find impressive..
I think the solo for "Killing Road" should be a little further up the list.. That solo is so BADASS! ;) Actually, the one for "Foreclosure of a Dream" is pretty awesome,although short :)
I wonder how Marty feels to have written and played one the solo that's widely regarded as one of the best metal solos ever, must be nice. Thanks for the upload as always definitely been enjoying the top 10 solo countdowns you've been putting up lately.
I'm really sick of this "most underrated guitarist ever" comments. This comment is on EVERY guitar video I've ever watched. I know it's all personal opinion. I'm not talking about Marty either everyone knows he's amazing. The greats don't care about the opinion polls they just play cos they love it. Music isn't a competition yet so many pitting them against each other. Just enjoy them all. Rant over.
Considered in my Top Twelve best guitarists of the modern era, musical and technical talents both included. For me the best Marty Friedman solo with Megadeth is The Killing Road, with others on Youthanasia following. Desert Island and Lucretia sound awesome too. He has a gorgeous restlessness and tension, always wishing to break out of the scale and the rhythms hes in and always happy to syncopate the accents and runs. Its his melodic maturity and experimentation that keeps him above the 'competition', if such there be. Being fast is one thing, being fast and clever is quite another. Never a dull moment with Marty :-)
being a musician is a thing, being an awesome guitarist is an other thing. marty is one of the best guitarist in the world (not the best) but he is such a wonderful musician. just listen to these solos and feel what he felt while he's composing. i love you mr friedman
He might be the best electric guitarist, but he admits he's not a great acoustic guitarist. Most of my generation learned on an acoustic and then went to electric. People now go directly to electric often that are self tuning. So much easier
Woooow I was listening to this and the whole time was wonderjng where the hell is tornado of souls... you couldnt be any more right that the solo for friedman in tornado of souls was his absolute best solo ever.. well done video maker well done
Tornado of Souls is almost the perfect solo. It incorporates almost everything apart from tapping, which you could probably shoehorn in if you were playing it yourself. Best solo of all time!
Tornado of Souls is my favorite metal solo but I think Friedmans best solo overall is in Tears of An Angel Skip to 3:34 on the song if its 5:08 minutes long.
dozo89 Imo, his best sounding solos are the ones that make your heart race. Tornado of Souls is the best metal solo but not Marty's best, My list of his absolute best would be 7. Colorea Mi Vida 6. Amazing Grace 5. Devil Take Tomorrow 4. Be 3. LoveSorrow... and for first place I can't decide whether its Asu e No Sanka or Tears of An Angel they're both the best pieces of emotional soloing in history!
+tito quispe alarcon I personally think if you're going to compare Megadeth solos, anything in Countdown To Extinction is better than Killing just listen to Skin o My teeth solo for example much better than Killing Road
Great list and agree with the #1 spot! Though I wouldn't put 3 solos from RIP right on top. Some of the ones you could have considered - --Skin O My Teeth --Trust --Dragon Mistress --Glowing Path --Blood of Heroes
I thought I was the only one that loved it for a while lol :S kinda surprised to see all the love for it, I think it's just about the sentiment and momentum of it not about omg guize I can shredz; that's just me though.
Lucretia has always been my favourite its very emotive and unique
I think it's just a tad better than Tornado Of Souls
tornado shows great passion and emotion in it but lucretia has so much arpeggios in it. most guitarists when they play arpeggios in a song dont show emotion but marty tells a story when he does it
I always loved his solo in Vortex. Full of emotion and his "slow bends" as I call them. Then absolutely shreads at the end.
joemama1151 we have the same mind. I have the exact same thought about that solo,🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤞🏾🙏🏾👌🏾👍🏾
It’s like a Led Zeppelin song.
The ONLY thing that sux about the solo in Tornado of Souls, is that it ends… Flawless masterpiece. It build so nicely with perfect phrasing and soulful bending, then to an absolutely meaningful barrage of shredful licks. Marty rules!!!
I would give my left nut, my right nut and grow a third middle nut and then give it up to have Marty's phrasing and melodic compositional skills
Well put my man he's definitely a original with very memorial solos you just fall for
The Lucretia solo is just as good in my opinion.
@@rickfeith6372 absolutely ... Lucretia solo is so underrated. Everytime i listen to it gives me chills
@@rodalm_ what makes Lucretia so impressive to me is that it was improvised. Perfect phrasing came out all at once. Just brilliant
The Killing road is so underrated
Hell yeah it is....it's bonkers
Its got soul
That and Hangar 18 are my all time favorites
@@baroqueguitarist5673 I think we're talking about Marty solos here. Hangar has like 10 Marty solos...if we're talking Hangar, I like #5 and #6, which is sort of the obvious choice in my opinion.
Agree....one of my favorite of all time. Marty has so many epic ones
As much as I hate that he left Megadeth, hes done amazing work since then
2007 Exibit B in Japan. Watch that. It absolutely melted my face. The only thing as good as watching Marty shread is the fact he found 3 guys that could keep up with him!
except he still plays tornado of souls just about any time he performs... it is the piece that defines him
@@joemama1151 Holy $*!T! Thank you, I'm two songs in and... geez, yes
@@maatobraggol 👍
i love his solo work more
Marty has his own style... you will immediately know its marty playing... i feel lost...such feel...such technique... best guitarist for me...complete package
Every other guitarist do
@@TECHIERSHUB no one has the bending and vibrato that Marty has. Or his melodic genius.
@@TECHIERSHUB
Nope.
Omg yes i agree with you. It's so crazyyy
When you hear Marty... you can always hear him coming a mile away. his style and melodic choices are so distinct.. they scream "that's Marty" he writes the best melodies. His harmonies with Becker were legendary as well.
yup.. I think its cause he writes purely in phrases
Marty Friedman + Megadeth = Most awesome thing ever EVER
+Håkon Dekkerhus Marty Friedman + Jason Becker = Best band in the world
No.

best metal lineup ever created, period

@@chris4087 now thats the problem here,what if their necks have adapted to their oversized heads and so they will enjoy ToS and kill us afterwards
@@chris4087 And then play Hangar 18 when the gov comes and hides the dead aliens' bodies away.
I came here expecting Tornado of Souls to be number 1.
I was not disappointed.
u even stay until the end here bruhh? o_O
Same here
Same here

So many times have I heard them talk about his exotic scales and modes, but those are nothing without his huge bends and vibrato.
alphaenemy he really does bring his guitar playing to life. You can if tell you hear a marty solo completely based off his vibrato. Excellent guitarist 👌👌👌
All his solos gives me chills, i can't explain what causes it, but this man knows how to build a perfect solo for the song he is playing
1:32 "The Killing Road" has such a cool and melodic solo, the bass is KILLING it aswell. 😄
Marty is a gifted guitarist
Marty plays with his soul, love it.
tornado of souls is the best solo ever
No it isn't.
For so many reasons, it's very difficult to present an argument as to why it isn't, demonstrated by your lack of one.
Lucretia
alphaenemy my argument is that mr crowley has the best solos
Lucretia is.
Most
Epic
Goddamn
Amazing
Dramatic
Excellent
Touching
Heavy bends
best guiitarist of all time, such a underrated guitarist
Nonsense, Griffin. He's "underrated" (your word) because he remains, forever, in the shadow of infinitely more accomplished players.
Ok, Dokktor Deth.
Best? Not even close...
The best and more melodic
Fantastic, and not underrated. He's easily a top 10 pick when people talk about inspirational guitarists
6:28 to 6:38 of Lucretia is so singularly Friedman. Don't think I've heard another player do anything along the lines of that passage.
00govan00 you stole my thunder with that line cuz
Good ear. He does a cool trick turning a minor arpeggio into a major arpeggio with some slick voice leading
You need another 3 seconds, the bend he holds at 6:38 is orgasmic.
@@eccehomer8182 not gonna kink-shame ya one bit
For me, nothing tops Lucretia

Megadeth + Cacophony = best solos ever
The Killing Road !!!
I grew up with Marty in Laurel md.....watched him play literally in a wooden barn with the group deuce..........it was an incredible experience watching him play at 14 years old to 18
Not surprising the top 3 are from one of the best masterpieces in the history of music.
Marty Friedman, One of the absolute BEST hands down. in technical skill he is one of the absolute best players in the music world
You can't be "one" of the absolute
@@DokktorDethstop being a fucking douche in the comments Dr DeTh
I've always dug how distinct his bending is.
2:28 Kirk Hammett approved
Wahwahwah
There are great solos in Wall of sound that could easily go to top 10, (especially the main anthem of whiteworm) you should have an updated version. Cheers!!!
marty friedman best vibrato ever hands down
Aaron Wesley ican never get those vibrato bends to sound right
Search Brandon Ellis, I think he has the modern day Friedman vibrato of the 90's era Friedman.
Best bending ever!
You make sweeping appointments, Weskey, that reality can't keep.
Dimebag darell...
Marty played some epic solos in his newer albums too, Miracle has one of my favourite Marty solos
There's just something about Friedman's solos that make me all giddy. Every time. Can't stop the big smile that forms across my face.
u mean whammett ?
He is the best guitarist of all time. Actually he is the best musician of all time.
Bahadır Aksoy And to add, these are not even his best 20 solos. There are tons of better ones.
Bahadır Aksoy He is very good...but there is only one god of guitar and he was Shawn Lane....
Thomasgipsy Excuse me, did you mean "Jason Becker"
Thomasgipsy Shawn lane was as accomplished as a pianist too. he was simply a prodigal musician period.
amazing on guitar too.. and its not his speed i find impressive..
+Saucisse Prod yes sir. marty god.
Marty Friedman and Glenn Tipton's solos always give you the feels🤘
Miss seeing him with megadeth when they came to my town in 1998. Was too young and no car.
Lucretia solo is full of weird note choices but still make it work so beautifully. That's the genius of Marty.
Totaly agree with "Hangar 18" and "Tornado Of Souls"... but right above them, No.1 should be his own "Forbidden City"!!!
Thank you for posting. Really enjoyed this!!! 👍👍👍
Marty friedman one the best guitarrist all the time !!! His talent is the other world !!!
Tornado of Souls and Lucretia
I will always admire and love Marty Friedman, I have so much respect for him.
I think the solo for "Killing Road" should be a little further up the list.. That solo is so BADASS! ;) Actually, the one for "Foreclosure of a Dream" is pretty awesome,although short :)

I'm crying, his music is so beautiful
Marty can write different genre of solos,amazing
Thank you for including Lucretia!

My top 5 Marty solos (Olny Megadeth)
5-Hangar 18
4-Skin o' my teeth
3-Angry Again
2-Tornado of souls
1-Lucretia
No symphony? Ashes ?
Wich one of hangar, there are like 7 Marty's solos
The first solo of the first breakdown
Lucretia's solo is fucking awesome!
I FUCKING LOVE MARTY FRIEDMAN
Go to hell solo is so underrated!!
Agreed.

greath video. marty friedman is wonderfull!!!!
Grande mestre!
I liked the choice of the solos! :))
My favorite solo is the one in "Angel" from the album "Scenes"
Just shows how amazing he is that forbidden city is not here
God, this is so epic, Marty gets in my top 10 !
THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING LUCRETIA!!!
I think both symph and Poison are very good solo's, but my favorite Marty solo is defo Skin o' my teeth. It's just so rock n' roll!
I love how the hangar 18 solo takes up a good 2 min chunk of this video haha
That strange 'Eastern' feel of the Hangar 18 solo blows my mind. Unusual and outstanding fretwork from Marty!!
good list :)

Are
Breathtaking
his guitar sings...it screams ...it talks... best ever hands down
why is this guy so amazing?
The actual tune Speed Metal Symphony had some great widdling by Marty.
Wow just wow
Smoke on the water is Marty Friedman’s best solo in my opinion
Wrooonnngggg. ....it's Achilles Last Stand.
The killing road is so under rated glad to see it here!
Great list, my favs are the killing road, lucretia, lovesorrow and of course... TORNADO!
No scales, only passion.
give him a sensible riff and he can play an outrageously sensible solo on it. Thats why he was so freaking awesome in megadeth
талантливый соло гитарист!!! уникальный!!!
lo amo
what a right hand.. xdddddd
one of de goats for shure.
Unique.
IMO Asu E No Sanka should be higher, it makes me cry every time, and I don't usually cry ever.

Listening to this makes me realize that a large part of the brilliance of his Megadeth solos is the amazing riffs and songwriting benrath them.
Five Magics could be included, good song for Dave too
#1 should be Forbidden City.
There should be at least a few songs from Dragon's Kiss, but there are none. He must not have ever heard it, I guess.
Agreed

Great list and agree with the #1 spot! Though I wouldn't put 3 solos from RIP right on top. Some of the ones you could have considered -

--Trust
--Dragon Mistress
--Glowing Path
--Blood of Heroes
Love sorrow is so ridiculous omg that’s beautiful
The number 1 is Tornado.. Why I'm not surprised... Great compilation anyway :)
I thought I was the only one that loved it for a while lol :S kinda surprised to see all the love for it, I think it's just about the sentiment and momentum of it not about omg guize I can shredz; that's just me though.

Wall of Sound his best solo Album
Inferno was also masterful
