I'm just glad this interview wasn't packed with Megadeth questions to Marty. We all know what went down with Megadeth. The man doesn't want to talk about it anymore. I've met Marty 4 or 5 times now and the last 3 times I've met him, it's usually on his tour bus with a group of other fans. I like to ask him questions about his song construction, his solo patterns, his approach at chord progressions, etc. and he's usually pretty interested and happy with those questions, but then lots of other guys whip out the typical, "HURR HURR, DO YOU STILL WANT TO BE IN MEGADETH?" "DO YOU TALK TO DAVE M000STAINE?" "WHY DONT YOU JOIN MEGADETH HURR HURR" and the annoyance in his eyes ALWAYS show when he gets those questions. The man spent 10 years in that band and moved on. Enjoy his music, enjoy Megadeth. Thank you Andertons for this great interview. - From a huge Friedman fan. Since Hawaii.

It’s to avoid the sound of palm muted notes- that is marty’s explanation

The most fascinating side of Marty's lead style is his ability of playing incredibly melodically even at 300 bpm (check the solo in Poison was the cure from Rust in Peace). In Megadeth he always took the solos under challenging chords progression, where Dave Mustaine was taking the ones on static harmonies. You can always sing Marty's solos. Not many players achieved that while shredding

@Nghilifa

5 жыл бұрын

Dave´s solo in "My Last Words" is probably the best he ever did. There were a couple of chord changes underneath that solo, by no means a static progression at all.

Marty lived in the Phoenix area for a lot of his Megadeth days, where I live, so I have had the pleasure of having some great conversations with him. Besides being a top notch and very unique guitarist, he is a very nice, sincere and as you can tell by this interview he is also very intelligent and insightful as well. We musicians can learn a lot from him, especially with exploring other styles of music and using in conjunction with what is in your "comfort zone!"

It’s gonna do something to anyone’s ego and that’s just how it is. Whether we admit it openly like John does or not is up to us

It's really awesome to hear how early Marty broadened his horizons when it comes to his playing. It makes you realize that the guitarists who love a certain type of music to death there's only so much we can be influenced by certain guitarists doing that sound.

I agree with learning while you’re playing with people. Learning in the moment when I’m playing with a group is some of the best learning I do.

Awesome, thank you, Marty has always been my guitar god.

Getting into punk at a young age seriously cannot be understated - it is a confidence boost. Playing for only a couple months and being able to play songs makes a young kid feel like the 'real-deal'. Playing stuff by The Ramones, Misfits, (some) Dead Kennedy's, GBH, Germs, Black Flag, etc. I remember playing for like a few months and playing "Die, Die, My Darling" by The Misfits and I felt like a total badass.

Marty Friedman and Steve Vai might be my favorite guitarists ever. Their lines are so tasteful and distinct, and learning their stuff is an insane challenge. Even when they do pentatonic lines, they sound so much better than your typical blues licks. Definitely the biggest influences in my own playing.

Thank you for this! Marty has always been a great inspiration.
