Marty is a treasure trove of guitar secrets...I was lucky to have grown up with his masterful playing...

Rick is very quickly becoming the premiere interviewer for these legendary musicians. He has this quality that just makes everyone he speaks to just relax and get really passionate about what they're talking about. Absolutely love these clips, too. There's so much to take from these guys even if you're not a guitarist.

These other people on KZread are merely journalists. Not music producers, musicians, etc. That's why Rick gets the quality musicians

Marty's half-step bends are how you know it's him... instantly. He throws them in, in the most unexpected places and it adds so much character. It's the main reason he became one of my favorites. Just a totally original style of rock guitar. No one sounds like him and not many can truly recreate the essence of his lines.

Marty is a master guitar player! I attended his clinic with my son when he visited our country a few years ago. So humble and intelligent and a really unique player. Thanks again Rick for this video.

His solo for train of consequences is literally a work of art

The wonderful thing about Rick's work is that even without being a musician (I'm an visual artist), we can still appreciate all what's said here. Even more: we can trace parallels with other disciplines in arts.

Marty practically treats guitars like pens, doodling out music in thin air. It’s always mind-blowing.

Martys rust in peace and countdown leads are the best compilation of leads any album has had

Marty's explanation of dynamics explains why Jeff Beck was so good and easily identifiable. He approached phrasing dynamically, and never played the same note the same way - each was louder, softer, longer, more or less vibrato, etc.

Marty is so spot on. Such a great player and teacher. too.

This is why Marty is so great! The non technical advice is so inspiring. After I heard scenes and got the videotape and tabs I was mesmerized how clean Marty plays and had a big part in my love for the guitar.

Between talking and playing, Marty is one of the most informative interviews ever. What a guy! Wow!

He has given us all so much. I wish you well in all you do Marty. Such an influence on me.

Legend. If you watch his mouth, he’s singing the notes as he plays. Amazing musician. ✌🏼

Marty will play the most amazing thing that no one else does and sounds completely original then say it's nothing to write home about Him and Jason are the two guys I listen to for learning how to play. They don't get you to copy them, but to be unique and create beautiful melodies and your own sound. No one else comes close to the lessons Marty gives as far as learning to be yourself on the instrument.

How awesome to see Marty with you, Rick.

Marty has divinely mastered the most difficult and expressive thing you can do with a guitar: bends

There's something about Marty that has always put a smile on my face. A beast of a musician and player.

Great guitar player, so humble and inspiring for all of us. Thank you so much Marty!

I was lucky enough to meet Marty and Jason when Cacophony played The Thirsty Whale outside of Chicago in the 90's, what a great memory.

Holy crap Mr. Beato. I love the guests you get to interview. I'm definitely watching this when I get a chance. It's got to feel awesome getting to interview all these legends. Keep it up man!

Man I love these kind of interviews, Rick asks the questions others don't, so you get gems like this. It makes you appreciate the incredible depth of the creative process, and how many hours might have been spent on just a few seconds of music. People like Marty don't give themselves an easy ride, I can easily imagine there's a lot of agonizing between the idea and the finished product. That goes for all true artists. Appreciate the video.

I like the age we live in we get to see more of these guys, and interviews, and insights. Had to find and pay for an instructional video back in the day, and those were mostly trash

One time I was playing a show in Arizona, when I came out onstage, I saw Marty in the audience. I suddenly got so nervous, but after a few minutes, I realized he was talking to a friend and not really paying that much attention. Then I relaxed and just let the music come out. But obviously, it's always intimidating when you play for someone that good who you looked up to your whole life practically. Now I teach his riffs to my students. It's all very rewarding.

Thanks Rick, what a cool, humble guy & great player !

This is so true, very liberating and a great lesson.

One the most beautiful things about Marty is how he tells a story with his solos, always felts that way since he was in Megadeth, first noticed it with his solo on Tornado of souls, not the usual runs and licks and tech show off, it was a lot more profound

Marty is so awesome. The dude is timeless and looks ageless too..

Marty never fails to get me inspired to play music

@4:30 to the end basically. Pay attention.

His passion comes through both his playing, and talking about music. 😊😊

Marty is the level of brilliant where you don’t realize how much smarter you are than everyone else/how far ahead of them you are.

The lighting in the studio is awesome. The place looks great! 😎🤓

100% inspiring, he echoes my thoughts, and influences, which I could never put into words properly, he just laid it all out, Thank You !

Most important guitarist to listen to of anyone out there. He gives you the secrets to being unique and making your own sound

A true master class! I love the inspiration I get from Marty’s thought process.

Thank you Marty and Rick! Appreciate this insights.

More Marty so soon, yes!

This is insanely helpful! I’m going to pick up my acoustic and take his advice, thank you!❤

I went to high school with Marty. He was a year older than me. He was best buds with my neighbor. He has a 1968 Cutlas, and I has a 1966 GTO. He was in a band with a few of the guys I knew called Duece! Man did they rock. Used to practice at a place they called “The Barn” that was on the Property of the guitar player and singers mother’s property. It was frickin awesome to be able to hang there and listen to their music! Marty’s parents moved to Hawaii,

i dont even believe a word from this guy's mouth: he is THE Marty Friedman, he can do whatever pops up in his mind and stamp that thing with his own fingerprint, as mortal as we are just shredding and play as fast possible as we could.

This is gold

Loving this

Another legend that I love :O> Keep up the amazing interviews and thank you yet again.

Great interview as always. His hair falling on the strings and messing up the note was very relatable haha.

Damnnn!!! You asked such powerful question I always wanted answers for. 😮

This is huge! I quit playing because the culture at the time was simply about shredding and practicing was just boring scale exercises. Having a purpose is everything. It means you flex the need to SAY SOMETHING, which is so much more important than shredding. Practice isn't, or shouldn't be practice, it should be playing for yourself.

Marty’s style is unique!

Best lesson for me. Not shaping not duplicate just creative. I love rick and marty .

One of my first favorite guitar players.

Marty is a awesome guitarist 👍😎🎸🤘

As a guitar player when I’m doing a lead melody, I’m not thinking about the nuances of hitting notes harder or lighter, my emotions of how I’m feeling the music in that moment determines how I’m hitting the notes. Nobody has time to think about each note lol you have to feel it

This is so important

great interview what a cool guy

Marty is a wizard. Living his best life out there in Japan.

Damn that little middle finger flick was awesome

Men!! A Master class 🤯 Love it

I've found every little thing in every note counts. How hard the note is hit, a bend, a pinch harmonic, how far to bend a note, which kind of vibrato, there's so many small things to consider for every note. It all adds up to make a quality lick thats all your own. The most minute things add up. The devils in the details.

God bless Marty Friedman

As great as Marty is if we wanted to hear how to develop a theme that would be Mr.Satriani you would want to interview Rick! And his last groupings exercise sounds like Blackmore so again, another master for an interview!

I never noticed this before? But as I'm watching Marty Friedman talking. I was thinking, he reminds me of someone else, but who? Then I remembered another Rick Beato interview with Kirk Hammet. And that's who he reminds me of.

Holy shit! Marty got jackson!,!!

Wow...Marty,the great guitat player...😎😎😎

Когда-нибудь я научусь играть как Марти!

First... always love your interviews, Rick.

FUCK I love this guy !

that haunting clean tone that Marty has really reminds me of his instructional videos

good ol days.

I have no idea how he plays so great holding his pick like that and the angle his wrist is at?

I’ve been playing with purpose since 2007. It’s rare when I’ll crank up a Dio album, and shred some Vivian Campbell solos. If i pick up the guitar, and not have logic running, 9 times out of 10, I’ll have found an interesting riff, and curse myself for not getting it tracked! So i always play with the daw running….

Nice new custom Monarkh

⚡️💫😊

Yo Marty!

Yeah, “just do them differently”, Marty. Give me those 40 years

When are you going to talk about Manic Street Preachers?

The guitar is literally an extention of Marty's personality.

4:35

The Secret is = All roads lead to ULI JON ROTH

To get a lesson from him would be awesome! He probably charges $1000 like Joe Satriani does or did a few years ago. I teach every once in a while but I don't charge but I'm not in their level.

Its pretty funny how he holds the pick: seems just as he holds it like it was some dirty thing😂

Marty has an unusual picking style but he produces the most beautiful tones. I zoomed in on his picking hand and noticed he uses his thumbnail as a second pick. He also used one of his other fingers to down pick with. Good luck trying to copy it.

Muat be weird leaving a band 23 years ago and still being introduced as the guy from that band

He loves those pants almost as much as Rick loves that shirt 😂

Is Marty playing through a boss katana 50?

Marty plays what in my mind could be called Boudoir Blues… it’s as if he’s watching an old school striptease in a hot and humid old jazz club. I say jazz, because to me Blues and Jazz fell off the same tree. 🤘🏼

Ok so I've noticed multiple KILLERS musicians with this "chewing" twitch when they play.....

I appreciate hearing the vets talk about the importance of originality in a day where every band wants to sound exactly the same, use the same exact gear… its all so UN-special lately.

So im not the only one that move his mouth while playing a solo lol

Weird Al plays guitar?

Hella make up on Martys face.
