Full Shred with Marty Friedman - Making Licks Your Own

Ойын-сауық

These videos and audio files are bonus content related to the June 2014 issue of Guitar World. For the full range of interviews, features, tabs and more, pick up the new issue on newsstands now or at the Guitar World Online Store:guitarworld.myshopify.com/coll...
Hello, and welcome to my new GW instructional column. It's good to be back! I hope the ideas and concepts I present here in the coming months will give you inspiration and insight into your own path to musical creativity.
The most important thing I can say is that you should always strive to make your own distinct musical statement with what you play on the guitar.
Once you've learned from the examples I present in this column, I would like you to completely disregard the examples themselves and retain only the techniques contained within them.
As soon as you get the idea of where I'm coming from with a certain lick or phrase, I want you to change it into something of your own invention and tap into your own creative curiosity as quickly and fully as possible.
For the tabs to this lesson, be sure to check out the new June 2014 issue of GW!

The sky is the limit what he could do in that type of band with his already unique style and playing. Just unfathomable of the possibilities.

Hope all you fellow musicians keep your heads up and press on understanding the art of shred and improvisation.

    I’ve practiced to Marty Friedman instructional videos since the early ‘90s. Like he states, I’ve always learned things the way they are taught & if in the process I can modify something to feel more comfortable & more economical for MYSELF. I’ve took bits I learned from Friedman, Hammett, Mike Wead & Skolnick to try & come up with a style contrived of many. I would suggest to take lessons like a GUIDE not mandatory &, if you can pull of the same techniques/riffs, modify them to fit your style. Also, Marty has another about sweep picking & mentions how he doesn’t pay attention to picking techniques. I’ve learned things like Frank Gambale’s “speed picking” technique, however, I only use it when a phrase warrants it. Usually, I modify my picking style numerous times during a solo or a rhythm, for that matter. I think Friedman’s philosophy is to be mutable, able to change on the fly to suit YOUR desires. Thinking of something as “the way” is limiting & can have adverse effects. That is how religions came about & look at all of the death & suffering religious zealots with their monotheistic stubbornness. 😉

    Well said. I see so many really great guitar players playing the same generic sounding metal these days because of it. I find the way to do things that is easiest for me, or that I simply like doing. I watch lessons like this, realize I'm doing it wrong, but then expand on the way I was doing it instead of learning the proper way, or I just try to switch it up for fun. I like trying out weird phrasing and rhythms, sometimes it sounds like shit, but when I figure out something cool, I'm way more likely to remember it and implement it in my playing. And I got pretty good at stuff like cross picking and string skipping just by refusing to learn how to sweep pick like everyone else. I can actually sweep pick now, even though I've literally never practiced doing it, not sure how that happened lol.

    Marty Friedman is so on the money about the infinite possibilities of how to execute a lick! I originally saw this idea from the late Gary Moore around 30 years ago & it's something I've ALWAYS lived by!!!! A riff is like a fingerprint/D.N.A etc..... As a technical competent player as I am,their is no substitute for using your ears & if it sounds good it is good!!!! I'm not telling anybody too avoid learning theory,but don't let the brain overwhelm the heart & also don't let your heart govern your musical brain!Everything is best to work in harmony together!!!

    2:06 is VERY close to 43 seconds in on Satriani's Killer Bee Bop. It took me a second to place it but that's it. Just down the next a bit farther. And a note of difference but that's pretty much it.

    I think you need to go learn a lot and then Marty is a really good source. This is such a brilliant lesson but I wouldnt get how good had I not gotten to this level. Im sorry I ever doubted you Marty :)

    So it’s ok to noodle on guitar to find out the tones by ear. That’s great! I’ve been told that it’s a bad thing to noodle on guitar.
