JPBluestring22nd October 2011Hold on, this is stunning expression of musical knowledge and inspired background. What a spectrum of new ideas. Evolving from heavy rock leads into Spanish classical inspired licks opens up untouched new territories. Thanks for allowing us to explore the possibilities of our instrument.
Piotr Kaczor2nd August 2010Oh man! I just returned from a guitar-free holiday and I instantly started ripping up my guitar... and my fingers
Once they heal I will try to upload my take of this solo, which is one of the most beautiful I have heard in my entire life! 
Did you Komplete 6 for the backing track? 
Thanks!
Yes, I use Komplete 6 for 10 months and really I don't need anything more
In this lesson I used Kontakt + Absynth

Alexiaden9329th July 2010Sorry for typo... *did you use Komplete 6* xD If you are getting more views than usual on this lesson, it's because I can't play it on guitar, so I just listen to it constantly

Hello GMC and welcome to my new lesson.
This lesson is inspired by the Marty Friedman's solo albums like "Introduction", "Scenes", "True obsessions".
Friedman's playing is always full of emotions and beautiful melodies. His phrasing and tone are simply amazing.
Marty's music inspires me all the time.
The lesson consists of two parts:
4/4 distortion part and 3/4 clean part
In the first part there is no clear rythm, so feel free with timing :)
I used mostly Hirajoshi and a - minor scale
This is the preset I used for the POD XT live for this lesson:
I part
Amp: MS 2003 Deity Lead Drive 7 - Bass 4 - Middle 7 - Treble 6 - Presence 5
Cab: 4x12 1968 Green 25s
Dly: Digital Delay
Rev: Variverb (DAW)
II part:
Clean:
No amp and cabinet
only Vetta compressor and DAW EQ
The lesson is available in the guitar pro 5 file, mp3 backing tracks included.
Have fun!
Piotr
