"Started off normal...did some complete bullshit in the middle...ended up normal. And people thought it was great!" I dig it! Awesome licks! :D

Lesson learned: Bullshit with conviction will make it through!

All time best lead guitarist for megadeth along with nick menza on drums.

@@LeBronJames-sj7ds I'd say they are about the same level. They do a lot of the same things but in different styles. Chris uses outside the box notes in a chromatic, jazz-like style while Marty uses unusual note choice in a more Japanese/Middle Eastern style.

I think he meant the way he plays solos, not him as a guitar player.

The challenge of picking the way Marty does is that you have to be very careful not to have the unwanted strings ring out. Muting the unwanted strings in a high gain setting (so they don't ring out), while still having the notes ring out that you want, is where so many guitar players fail. Anyway, very cool to see Marty do this, and it reminds me of an old Frank Zappa quote, which was something like "if you make a mistake, do it again and people will think you did it on purpose." I know that doesn't exactly fit what Marty did here, but it just reminds me of that philosophy of playing outside the box. :)

Lol I've always loved this guy's playing. He's never been a great teacher for the musicians that learn visually, but I love that his teaching encourages others to create their own individual styles, just as he has. He's always had a true ear for crafting unique note patterns and rhythms!!

So glad I found Marty's lesson vids. I grew up rural before internet and never really had someone to teach me or had much encouragement when learning guitar. It seemed most books and video lessons I would acquire (even a few people) always made me feel I was doing everything wrong because my techniques were different from what they considered "correct". Marty helped me realize that these "abnormalities" are what gives you your own unique style and sound. I feel so much better about myself and my playing now. Thank You so much, and I will be sure to encourage other musicians in the same manner. Peace...

Funny that you called this "full shred", considering that Marty hates the word shred

Thank you for the excellent advice, heartfelt suggestions, and encouragement. It's so easy to feel intimidated watching someone this fast. But you give a lot of great advice about doing what fits me and making it my own to create something new and unique. Thank you.

1:07 ''Complete bullshit in the middle...''Oh yea!? Listen to me while I'm trying to play that shit and you'll change your mind about ''bullshit'' :)

8 years later and it still holds up. I first was inspired by EVH, and even if I didn't phrase nearly as good, it still allowed my creativity to shine bright, and for a while now I've been stuck in the same stuff. Watching Marty explain this in 3-4 minutes immediately just opens my pallet again.

I've really enjoyed these Guitar World lessons Marty has been doing, hopefully he'll do even more in the future :D

see wum sain. cracks me up. dude can play!

I saw him live in September at the Great American in SF. What a great show! His playing is such an inspiration to me as player. Inferno rocks, long live Marty!

For anyone who hasn't yet, check out Melodic Control by Marty Friedman. One of the most important instructional videos for anyone interested in rock/metal/shred/melodic guitar playing imho. He always brings up the point of playing with conviction. Play it like you mean it. EVH is a prime example of attitude. He constantly pushed himself and "went for it," so even if anyone is able to hear the few missed notes or mistakes it doesn't matter. They're too busy being blown away by the 99% of the time he nails it.

Introductions and Scenes... two of the best guitar albums ever. I so wish that Marty would make another record in that style.

See I'm sayin'?

Class act, Marty stands out amongst so many guitar players.

So cool! I've been into Marty's (and Jason's) playing since I heard the first Cacophony album way back in '87? I wore out the grooves on my copy of "Dragon's Kiss" because I listened to it so often. His approach to the art of shred was truly original and inspirational. Like all great players, he's one of a kind. No clones!

Ive been practicing for about 5 months now and I love playing guitar. These videos here are great and Marty is great to learn from! Just yesterday I was practicing scales and I looked down at my picking hand and it was positioned just like Martys oh no !

Love that he always tells it like it is without sugar coating anything.

I've grew up listening to hard rock and metal and still dig it somewhat (especially the classic's) Its not really though what I'm orientated to in my playing style mostly. But still I watch lessons like this to pick up something. Some kind of inspiration or nugget. Thanks Marty!

No words man! This is freaking amazing and hilarious at the same time!

The reason why I picked up a guitar and started shredding. This guy is so inspiring!

Marty said so many important things in this video. I mean let's face it, there's a lot of people out there who can learn to shred or copy someone else's shreds. But turning it into something unique is something else. I've been listening to a lot of the "Allman Brothers at the Fillmore East." There's a 50th anniversary of the album which comes with six cds, one for each of the different shows. They might do a minute amount of shredding but I guess the goal is to go for what's melodic and sounds good. Hope Marty's not mad at me for mentioning The Allman Brothers. I was never a speed metal fan but I'm trying to learn from all influences as Marty suggested.

Just knowing he finally spoke about his pick style. Been watching him since the early 90’s.

I enjoy the way he speaks and I feel I can actually learn and take in ideas the way he explains stuff

Marty is the best. Been my fav guitarist since the early 90's...

It looks like marty mutes the top strings without muting the the one he wants to play. .Incredible control... and he had to be conscious of doing this at first until it became his picking technique, without having to always be thinking about it. I needed this lesson.

Love his playing, he is awesome, haven't heard his solo work, but his solos in Megadeth were absolutely amazing, cool, different...Marty is one of my favourite guitarist!

Marty is a gamechanger.Marty you are the best!

Marty is great! Hands down, a great player with his own style.

He is such a awesome person, thanks Marty

When I first heard Marty in the late 80’s, his string bending blew my mind. Very hard to duplicate,copy.

he is a true artist,no bullshit.

+Melodious Bard that bullshit is played with complete conviction XD

Marty Friedman, you're a total kickass player!

Great vid! I'd like to add one helpful hint for anyone trying to decipher the first lick- when he says he's staying in the rules with basic Em triads, the lower one (before what he starts calling "bullshit") is actually a Cmaj triad- the relative major of the actual key he's soloing in (Am). This Cmaj triad sets up the chromatic descent and it's the key to making the "BS" part work (besides the conviction thing, that always true) Anyway, great lick, and yes I've been a fan since cacophony. PS- correct, the picking is very much like George Benson. I can't get my wrist to play ball on that one, but both Marty and George get VERY fast and toneful playing from it. I'm not hating on it, I really wish I could do it comfortably cheers

Marty has only gotten better with age, man. this guy is awesome!

I love how marty never stops getting better. Same with paul gilbert and steve vai.

Marty has always been a beast!

Although it's interesting in how he explains his unique picking style, I've never needed to do that to avoid muting my notes.

Ya he definitely has a unique picking technique with the up slant...most schools of thought discourage the up slant...but it definitely works for marty. Paul Gilbert used the upslant when he was young and switched to the down slant when he was in racer x.

awesome lessons! thanks!

inferno was amazing.Still listen to it!

this guy is an absolute idol

Great job Marty. Well said.

I always loved the way he picked its different..

I love his playing.

thanks you marty..very easy to understand...practice to make my style guitar..

Muting tip that was a great tip thanks Marty and thanks for being down to earth and I will get that Inferno record thanks again Marty 🎸🎶✌👍

LOL several times and learned a lot - thank you master!

I took this advice 8 years ago and I'm happy to inform everyone that i still suck. Keep shredding

Love you Marty!

I don't know much still an intermediate playwright myself, but I can tell his passion for playing is the same as mine. Nice guitar too.

Damn marty is so humble,honest and fucking skilled

the new friedman album is amazing, love love love it...HORRORS feat jason holly becker, cacophony 2014...can't ask for more

Marty is amazing

hes my favorite after seeing him live

I don't know how Marty can solo with that right hand position and get basically no unwanted string noise. Goes to show what a naturally gifted guitarist he is. He has a touch to his playing that most normal people will never replicate.

he mutes as much as possible with his left hand

marty is the man

I finally know why he picks like that! But you can still pick without muting while in the muting position so you can mute easier if needed. Then again he probly never mutes at all.

I can hear the rust in peace album in your solos alot

the man is in the Top 15 of the world's🌎🎵 best guitarists🎸🎸🎸

Inferno is awesome! Still listening!

How can you not love him?!

happy birthday martyy

I took one advice from you long long time ago, that its OK to be different from the next guitar player next to you.
