GMC Forum _ Bands and Guitarists _ Marty Friedman Great Solo Carer?

Posted by: Sonny Mar 8 2008, 02:28 AM

Hey there! Everybody knows Marty Friedman for his grate job on Megadeath, but have you ever listened to his solo work? I'm a huge fan of guys like Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Yngwei and so, but never payed attention to Marty, i have to say his solo albums are just AMAZING!! much better than his grate work on megadeth, actually is diferent, i think Marty is almost at the same level Joe Satriani and those guys are, actually in his last album LOADSPEAKER he has a song where he does some "guitar battle" with Steve Vai, and there is another one with Jonh Petrucci.

I think this guy Marty is just amazing, what do you think? is he at the same level those mosters are? a mean Satriani and company... i think they should do a G3 with Marty.

PD: i just got the Ibanez SZ320 Marty is using now tongue.gif

Yeah, Marty Friedman is definitely up there with the top dogs of shred. That is a no brainer. He is amazing!

Nice guitar by the way.

I never really listened to him as a solo artist. So I don't have any say on whether his solo work is good or not.

You should check it out man. It is definitely worth it.

He is definitely up there. One of the best guitarists ever, but don't forget about his fellow player Jason Becker. They played together in Cacophony and in some of Marty's solo stuff. He has his own solo stuff too. Check him out. wink.gif

That is of course something worth checking out also as Slash just said. Jason is amazing. I wish he could still play. But he does still write.

yeah, he is a great guitar player !!! I live his album Music for speeding, it's a really good one, and the lessons in his MELODIC CONTROL video (I don't remember if it's the correct name, but I think it is) are amazing more than 10 simple exercices, as a way to abord the music and the composition... really inspiring wink.gif

I have listened to some Jason's songs, but isn't he playing anymore? what hapened to him? i read something that Marty wrote about an album some artist were doing as a Jason's tribute, lots of band are going to be in that album making Jason's covers.

Juan, those videos you are talking about are grate, but you should listen to his albums, the music he does, lots of nice melodies not as heavy as megadeath, is a complete diferent thing, one of my fav albums is "True Obsesions" and his last one "Loadspeaker"

Posted by: Muris Mar 8 2008, 01:56 PM

Marty is great,haven't listen to whole albums tho,just few tracks
but it's easy to figure out. wink.gif

Posted by: Gen Mar 8 2008, 02:03 PM

He is one of my favourite guitarist, im in love with his solo albums biggrin.gif He has such a great sense of the melody!

Posted by: DeepRoots Mar 8 2008, 02:12 PM

Im listening to loudspeaker right now wink.gif Great stuff.

Awesome riffage, some cool grooves, lush melodies and that dose of speed when you need it biggrin.gif

I try to listen all his albums, I hope they are really good wink.gif

Yeah!! Marty is reallly really great! I have all his solo albums... they are incredible! I like them a lot!

As I think I've made clear in many threads before... I LOVE Marty Friedman! wub.gif

IMO, Marty was perfect in Megadeth and in his solo, way beyond that. Marty alongside Jason are the only persons in the history of music, that have never ever composed something that I didn't like..(I find it hard to believe myself, but that how it is)

About Marty solo albums... Don't forget Scenes, it's fantastic! smile.gif

Posted by: Hisham Mar 8 2008, 11:21 PM

he is a good guitarist

Posted by: JVM Mar 8 2008, 11:23 PM

I love the song trance from scenes. Its a bit short so sometimes I just put it on repeat for a bit, incredible song biggrin.gif Marty is great, and so is Jason.

Posted by: RIP Dime Mar 8 2008, 11:43 PM

Marty is a world class player.

Posted by: JVM Mar 12 2008, 03:17 AM

So I've been listening to scenes a lot again (I really want to get introduction). HOW does he get that beautiful, pristine clean tone? It's amazing blink.gif ohmy.gif Seriously!

Incredible gifted guitarist or if you prefer...musician!
