"The longer you sustain the notes, that's gonna give you your time to breathe, and your time to follow the next chord... and not to give away the fact that you don't know what your doing". - Marty Friedman
in my case it's hopeless... but safest in-that-case, ahahaha
F#cking AMEN 🤣

no one can make improvising sound more like written music than Marty.
He understands his fretboard. And the rest is just pure liquid talent. He’s my all time favorite metal guitarist, no one holds a candle to his feel and his command of semitonal use. It’s just… I can’t explain his feel for it all. Some got it and some don’t!
It's about having a sense of melody and an instinct for where the melody needs to go next to make the previous thought seem complete, or make it seem like it was on the way somewhere else
Guthrie govan
I'd say that Guthrie Govan's improvisation sounds like exactly what it is, really incredible improvisation. But, I don't think that anyone, even Guthrie Govan, comes close to Marty's ability to improvise fully-developed melodic ideas. @@apachexprime4768

That statement is so true. I have learned soooo much from this video i watch it regularly. And yet i still have so much to learn from it!
I saw Marty play with Megadeth a few times in the 90s. He had a great live sound and he made it look so easy. He’s amazing
He's the best guitarist Megadeth ever had
Me too. I saw them on rust in Peace in Phoenix Arizona and I saw them play sometime after maybe on youthanasia or again on rust at an outdoor venue.
a decade back downloaded this and watched this thousand times and bought looper... this made me a musician.. following chords, substitutions, phrasing.. everything is in this video. Pure Gold.
Did you look into any jazz players? Django of course but also Charlie Christian, Wes Montgomery, Pat Martino; also Roy Clark, Glen Campbell, Dick Dale, Lenny Breau etc. Good luck to you! Btw I know those aren't all jazz guys but guitar is guitar... Peace!
Actually no, i started with joe satch, vai, then listened to Guthrie, Andy timmons, planet x, brett garsed, frank gambale.. i think Andy Timmons is great.. but i like marty's music the most.. then i gravitated towards classical - Beethoven, Mozart, Debussy, Chopin, Vivaldi, Paganini... lol, i have been coding for past 15 years, but today i revisited it again n i think i undesrtand marty better now, n his phrasing.. cause i have been listening classical a lot.. one thing i noticed - if i can sing the phrase, then i can play the phrase. I am not that talented, it took me long time to develop ears... n organically learn by listening. Now i dont play much but my playing has got much better , i dont need to look at tabs, i can now play ear.
This video introduced me to new concepts, i was aware of modes n it introduced me to phrygian dominant n then i learned hirajoshi, iwato, hungarian minor, double minor, nepolitan major n minor.. but after learning all these scale now i understand why marty says that he doesnt know any scale.. he knows scales but he doesnt care about them, because he knows he that he can use all the notes(12 of them).
Past so many years i made changes in my playing to sound more like marty.. which was painful.. i used to do that after my office hours... then tom grady channel solved my problem of economy picking, credit to tom grady n Yngwei.. once that problem was fixed and i understood economy, inside and outside picking, things became easy.. i also dont do runs, but create phrases like marty does. There was a video - 100 marty phrases , i also downloaded that n learned that... but the real fun is to improvise on the chord changes and write tasty phrases n lines as marty.. my lines are good but not as good as martys.
I’m on that path now!!
"ok, youre probably wondering whats going on thru my mind"....... we know marty... gundams, anime, and JAV.
JAV!!!
he was half asleep and still that good :)
Learning all of the notes on the neck is KEY.
Key Notes:
5:37 - "You have to know what you want to do over the chords"
6:47 - Target Notes
9:52 - "The more you think the better you're going to play."
13:34 - Mean It
20:36 - Control
21:36 - Follow Each Chord
39:38 - Metronome
40:20 - Technique is like a bank
yeah: there's only like five or six notes-at-the-most, that can be ringin' out at one time so t'speak... i still don't understand, what all-the-frettin's about, ''ok let's try-it-again... from-the-top:'' hahaha~~~
Thank you!! \m/
NOOOOOOOOOOOO... THE LESS YOU "THINK" AND THE MORE YOU USE YOUR EARS TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO EXPRESS? THE BETTER YOU WILL SOUND!
I know I’m about 20 years late, but this is so helpful. Marty is a god
Dude me too!
Me too bro
I love that man
It's good huh. I was inventing a bunch of new licks using his advice. Yeah, I wish this stuff was around when I was a kid. We used to have to buy the Star Lick videos and borrow a video machine to go with the TV that was always on the Fritz. Tab books were usually way off. Best way to learn back then was to stalk older players on the music scene and pester them to show you riffs and licks.
Free youtube videos *destroy* these videos from him, Paul Gilbert, Slash, etc. They can shred, but cant teach for shit. If you want something really helpful, checkout Signals Sound Studio and Steve Stine, here on CZcams.
That melodic solo he played in the beginning was so beautiful
when you sold all of your feelings for guitar playing
He was stoned as hell during this

God bless you. Ty so much I have a bet with a friend what he says I'm trying to find it. It refers to....I don't like that note in the scale, so I don't play it.
Found it. 17.15 in the scales section of the video. Ty so much.
@@kennethdunklin278 You are welcome m8
That's amazing, thank you my friend.
@@exluna-scientia Yw m8
I transcribed that first solo at 2:03 back in college (15 years ago) and still play it to this day as an exercise. Crazy how he can do that off the top of his head.
'Now let's take a note that is totally illegal' 51:18
4:40 one of the most beautiful solos i've ever heard.
sounds like Blind Melon - Change check it out.
@@r92king i love this song. Blind Melon was a great band
That's actually a song of his. It's called "Tibet/Angel" from Marty's solo album "Scenes". Sounds awesome
7.00 example 2……Zappa style 😊
Agreed
Can’t tell if Marty was stoned out of his mind here but if he was then wow. Doing a 1 hour masterclass
I think Marty said in an interview he did get high as a teen but by this time he was almost completely clean and didn't do anything.
lol same here. And the dude is a genius fsho
I remember watching this as a kid and thinking damn, I’ll never get there. 15 years later, I’m halfway there. Hahahahaha Marty you’re a damn savant man
🚫😡 Not me! I'm really struggling to form these chords and notes on my drum set! No matter which toms, cymbals and snare that I hit, and regardless of whether I play them separately or together, I just can't seem to form chords, notes OR arpeggios that sound like what ^Marty's doing!
There's bound to be some mistake I'm making here, but I just can't seem to figure it out! Maybe I just need a new snare, new toms, and different cymbals..... 😁
@@HighlanderNorth1 Try tuned percussion. I would suggest xylophone or steel drum
@@HighlanderNorth1 have u tried holding the sticks like how Marty holds his pick? Might give u carpal tunnel syndrome but there’s a good chance you’ll sound like him
@@HighlanderNorth1 Buy a piano dummy!! using the wrong instrument to sound like Marty!
@@HighlanderNorth1 hey, great idea...less-is-more, but more drums can be helpful in the-right-order or [combination] or whatnot, right?
He’s so unamused, he makes mastery seem trivial
he's reading a teleprompter
Marty is no doubt a genius when it comes to guitar...
The "hearing the chords" section, when he talks how he soles over different chords is most eye opening thing I've heard in my life when it comes to soloing on a guitar. This was the first time I really felt how it is like to express myself and escape from this pentatonic boxes... This frickin' 10 minutes literally has taught me how to solo over a guitar!
Just incredible. Best guitar lesson ever.
im just a bit confused, does he mean that you should play different scales over each chord or just target the notes?
@@verycool1785 not necessarily change scales with each chord, you could still be in within the same scale, but the notes you choose over each chord should generally be relative to the root note of the chord.
@@verycool1785 He's talking about targetting the chord tones and conciously thinking about what to play over reach chord, instead of just blasting random notes in the scale.
"Following the changes".
I've heard it explained like this: you are trying to emphasize the notes in the scale that correspond with the notes in the chord playing underneath at the time. For example, an E major chord contains three notes: E, G#, B.
Thus, when that chord comes up, those are the three notes I would want to highlight rather than just noodling through the scale which is what many people do. If the song then changes to an A major chord which includes the notes A, C#, and E, I want to emphasize those notes and so on. You are just highlighting the notes in the scale that correspond with the notes that make up the underlying chord.
It will make your playing more melodic. There are tricks (such as the CAGED system) that can help you visualize where the notes you need are on the fretboard.
@@coryhillman6536 how would you highlights the notes? Would you just hang on them longer?
I've been watching this occasionally for almost an year.
One of the best instructional dvd ever done!
Marty is one the more important names in guitar world and we're blessed that he's so skilled at teaching as well :))
You ain't kidding. It almost seems like we should be paying Marty Friedman for his guitar teaching Tutorial. I feel like I owe him something
I had forgot how useful and "game changing" this video was for me, I remember after following his advise I moved from nonsense noodling to actually improvise with a more musical meaning.
Exactly the same here. This video is pure gold
yeah noodling really robs one of progress. Always have intent in your playing. For me, simply deciding what key(s) and/or scales to play in before messing around made my progression sky rocket.
Now, I feel super old. It's been more than 20 years since I watched this for the first time. What an excitement, I still remember. Great motivation and information.
He looks so bored. Such a master.
Marty is 1000 % sure of what he is doing...great respect for his individuality and approach to guitar notes....
I was getting chills during that jam at 28:00
I remember when theses videos were $50 or $60 ea. In guitar magazines. Now there free. Wow.
"The More you think, the better you play.."
Most other guys have recommended that we stop thinking and play instinctively. However I must agree, I've always done my best playing when my brain was actively engaged in predicting what I want to play next. It's interesting how Marty solos primarily with 3 fingers and keeps his pinky curled-up high, as sort of rudder for his vibrato.
This video is extremely useful for someone 3 to 5 years into practise who wants to expand his limits a little more.
“Whats going on in my mind besides food or something like that”😂😂😂😂😂😂🔷
I still have this on VHS from back in the day.. but I no longer have a VCR lol ty for uploading
never give up the VCR bruh... I still have it, it's a fun novelty watching old tapes (especially those rare gems that you can't find anywhere else)
Same😂😂😂
Now we need an hour long video of his daily hair care routine.
Marty is one of the greatest ever. As a huge Becker fan as well I always felt I heard and connected with Becker in Marty's playing. Like part of his music spirit was injected into Marty and played on with him
I'm guessing you're aware of Cacophony then?
@@srwarrior134 oh yeah
They obviously influenced each other a lot, and you can hear it in their music
Great minds
And Tim Henson calls this boomer bends. This is way better than math rock.
Agrees, polyphia's music is technically impressive, but completely soulless and dull.
Lmao the kid got to your feelings?hahhahahaha clown
@@FrankFurther I mean it’s amazing but bends are the guitars bread and butter.
I'd rather boomer bend than soulless shred lol
honestly, Polyphia is just a flex on us mere mortals. I could never get into it, those musical ideas fly by my head so fast that I forget to listen to the damn song. just one after the other after the other, a nonstop 1-up. it feels like intense video game music with a touch of anxiety
it just doesn't have that "shining" like the Grateful Dead, or *Rust in Peace*.
if I could describe Rust in Peace, it would be a diamond encrusted tetrahedron of platinum-gold alloy that reflects the light so much it blinds you.
compared to that Polyphia just seems... random and chaotic. which is not a bad thing, but it just doesn't hit me the same way for some reason
i learned how to play waching his videos back in the day, when i diden't know really what
to do? thank you marty friedman
He's so full of energy...
This guy is my favourite guitar player. He is amazing on countdown to extinction.
He’s a genius.
that section covering bends is stellar. actually the whole thing is pretty damn sweet. thank you uploader.
I got 29 mins into this and then spent the next few hours on my guitar. Could not help myself. Almost burned my dinner.
Hahahahahahahahaha. Been there…
Beautiful to hear him play clean
Love the hq, I used to replay the intro and ending whenever I could back in the day
Amazing quality. You did a good service to everyone with this video. Great job!
14:37 is the badass solo from Angel
Also 57:57
57:57 it's not Angel. It's a Black Cat outro.
Marty has earned my respect
This material is amazing, there was this class on VHS tape, thank you very much for sharing! Marty is a great teacher and the approach he uses has very valuable tips!
Great upload sir. Many guitarists around the world thank you for this! 🎩🎩
Great video Marty, thanks for posting. It drives home the importance of always knowing where your solo is relative to the progression and melody. You present this so guitarists of any level or style can use it. Really helpful, nice job.
I didn’t think I was advanced enough to learn anything from this video but amazingly I’ve learned a few things that I was able to pu in use immediately. So glad I stumbled across this video.
In the 90’s I had the Jackson Kelly guitar, had this VHS tape and worked on it every day
Marty was my hero
WHAT A GEM. THANK YOU.
I think there is no other guitarist who can fuse metal and Asian phrases except Marty.
This is beautiful!!!
This video has really powerful concepts that can expand your abilities as a lead player if you listen deeply and employ them. Marty is very intelligent and soulful on guitar
Beautiful playing👍
This is pure gold
This video really helped a lot when I was a teen learning guitar, its very informative indeed!
I saved this video to watch again later while I have my guitar in my hands. Good stuff.
What a brilliant person...he has thought everything through mathematically and can summon and execute the patterns he likes in the combinations he likes in relation to the movement of the harmony...and it sounds beautiful.
This is the second or third time I'm watching this. Great lesson by Marty!
perfect melody player for my ears god damn.
14:36 is some great stuff
Thanks for posting this upgraded quality video. I have this years ago...
5:20 is just fantastic, It's just as deadpan as everything before I have to wonder If he was thinking about food while saying it : )
This lesson is right at my skill level. I never thought I'd see a pro video from someone like Marty and actually understand what he's talking about. Then when I cut over to Bernth I'm like, huh? 🫥
I've never seen anyone hold the pick like Marty.
look up "upward escape picking", he really exaggerates this technique.
Has it really been almost 10 years since I watched this gem?
I've always loved Marty's playing. White worm confused me at first, but what a beautiful piece. I grew up with his playing in Megadeth and he stood out above everyone.
My favourite guitar player ever - Marty Friedman !! You can hear and see why ;-)
21:59 damn I wish he made a song with that, sounds so beautiful, marty is a goddamn legend
Almost sounds like his song Thunder March
You simply cannot copy how this man plays. He is easily one of the most creative guitarists of all time.
I've been playing (piano, guitar as a kid and now drums) off and on my whole life. I'm not great, but of all things in my life, in my opinion, the journey of learning to play music is one of the most unique and beautiful quests life has to offer. And to me, this the most awesome video on the internet about playing music. Thank you for putting it together and sharing!
P.S. how long have you been growing out your hair? Mine is similar but I think a bit shorter, and I'm at about 4 years. Haha anyways! keep rocking out man! Again, such an AWESOME video!!!
34:34 Wow
Excellent explanation for beginners
Awesome video really enjoyed it Thank you 👍😎🎸🤘
Esto eran los tutoriales de mi época 🤘🏻
This is a long ago but still very relevant until now ♥️🎸🤟
Marty is the only unique guitarist I've ever seen..just from the way he use his right hand is quite different from other players ❤
The most superior quality VHS can offer.
Excellent teacher
Marty your playing is masterful brutha'
Thanks for posting!!
“That should be a quote somewhere”
Marty Friedman
I love this man.
thank you for arpeggios lesson it finally sank it. because of you I understand 👍 uda man
the more you think the more you'll knwhat to play
"Pick they way you feel comfortable, not the way your friends pick"...
Excellent.
Thank you man!
This is amazing but I love Marty staring when he plays that A chord in the beginning
haha
lol jaw clenched too. Dare I say amphetamines? lol
This would be an ideal type of subliminal self help sleep audio track 😂
You won't believe me but I listen to it when taking naps to fall asleep fast and it works!😂
I actually do this...
Are you saying its boring?
Thank you!
Great tips.
this guy is having "so much fun" teaching...
I'm very far from even attempting a solo, but I love the way he explains the notes in relation to the chords. Seen him with Megadeth on the Countdown Tour. After the show, looked on the floor and found his pick. Still have it.
woah that is so awesome, what a find.
So excited about Marty’s Truefire video.
What a great lesson!
Thank you! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 🖤🖤🖤
Love you Marty!
