MARTY FRIEDMAN Watches Fan YouTube Guitar Covers | MetalSucks 

I'm so speechless right now and absolutely honored. Thank you so much Marty!! I'm so happy you enjoyed my cover! You're a legend!! I'm forever grateful!

They should have placed Kiko's version of tornado of soul

- Marty I'm broke, but I'd really like some guitar lessons. How can I pay you, apart from with money? - 1:22 - Oh...

Guys, come on, put links to the cover videos in the description. They deserve the exposure.

1:14 The irony in being told to perform more downstrokes by Marty Friedman ain’t lost on me😂

I feel sooo honoured!!! Thank you Marty! 😍😍😍

I achieved a dream. Thank you so much, Marty, and thank you so much, Metal sucks. It's a great honor for me to receive that words from my favourite guitar player.

Man, it'd be so intimidating to be under Marty's scrutiny. The man does not mince words and I think if you haven't built up your callouses for criticism, it could be very devastating to hear him critique your covers but, honestly, that's just who Marty is. He's all about the music and he is genuine and encouraging, but will always tell you what he thinks could have been better because he sees music as one of those fields where you can always continue to improve and that's a big part of why I admire this man.

Marty giving a great advice. Do not overcomplicate things.

Always liked Marty, but after seeing this, I like him a lot more. He is very generous, and has no fear of others talents. Sadly many guitarists don't have this ability to see past their own ego. Good on ya Marty. ^-^

5:11 dude even angles his wrist 800 degrees just like Marty

We didnt get to see him critique anyone doing Tornado of Souls :'(

Should have included Bradley Halls backwards Tornado of souls.

"Sounds like something out of an exercise book." Marty describes neo-classical in a nut-shell. :)

I had the pleasure of attending a guitar clinic with Marty late in 2019 in Leichhardt NSW Australia. He was the nicest most humble guy you could ever meet. Answered everyone’s questions (including mine) and just appeared to love talking about guitar. He is not only a metal legend but a super nice guy as well.

That is a HUGE compliment when Marty Friedman gives you a "Fuck Yeah!"

A guy playing awesomely, 20 notes per second perfecly, intense feeling and harmony: "meh, not bad". A girl playing Em D G on an acoustic guitar: "damn, that was one of the most beautiful thing I've ever heard in my life" (almost in tears). LOL

Enough guitar talking. Tell us the brand of your shampoo, please.

"I'm into girls playing guitar." You're not the only one Marty ;)

Symphony of Destruction solo is one of the epic top 5 in metal. Phenomenal phrazing, killer vibrato and bends that defy gravity! Fucking amazing! Marty is a true virtuoso!!!!!

When he says "Metal sucks!", he's not acting at all! 😁

Those last words in this video really came from his heart. Dammm how can someone not like this guy.

When senpai finally notices you

Love Marty’s enthusiasm as he watches these videos . Hats off to all the players awesome job !

It is just nice as hell to see someone so talented and accomplished as Marty, say EXACTLY the right words to every vid. You dont see this every day folks. A guitarist who loves others abilities. A rare trait amongst musicians.

I remember listening to sweating bullets .. Marty and Dave played so well together. Tracks like Tornado, Psycotron and Polaris are gold! And lets not forget Holy Wars

Thank you for supporting your fans, you are awesome and you did so much for the electric guitar.

5:15 was one of the cleanest and deceptively challenging parts I've ever heard. wow well done

Show him the Tornado of Souls cover by David Escobar. It's gonna blow him away(pun intended!).

Would have been funny seem him react to a video of Chris Broderick covering one of his solos hahaha

Hey Marty!! I used to play Scenes when I was in the barracks, needing some comfort that brought my mind home...thank you so much for using your gifts and bringing a TON of cool music in to the world!! YOU ROCK!!!

Marty is just such a pure and kindheartes person, it just makes me smile

Marty, I think you are the nicest, most down to earth guy in metal. When you said "and I hope you surpass that" it just shows you care about each person's own experience with music and you are very humble. Huge fan :)

We need more stuff like this, this is just epic

Very humble and kind of Mr. Friedman to encourage new players.

Your mentality is what i love so much about you marty. You are a phenomenal guitarist but yet so humble. Your amazing.

Marty is so cool and down to earth. I love this guy

Marty does not age at all.

It's really refreshing to see how positive he is in his comments and criticisms. Totally seems like a humble, chill, fun dude. :)

Love his passion.

What a good soul you have Mr. Friedman, hats off to you as a great guitarist and human being!

What a gracious and humble dude. Super cool.

Gotta love Marty! Absolute inspiration!

the innocence in marty's comments and his honesty. his expression, happy seeing people playing his songs .... a god has descended... thanks marty .... just so you know, my 2 year old son's lullaby is your INTRODUCTION album in a loop, i did that since he was a baby ...

yeah u influence me dude. sooo much. especially when I started playing with the countdown to and rust i.p. album solos. thanks so much fr ur music.. a fan..

Had the pleasure of watching him do a guitar clinic in Melbourne and met him after the show. Super down to earth dude. I love the way he holds his picking hand in a way that hardly mutes notes. He doesn't hide behind palm muting and it shows the crispness and accuracy of his lead notes. Unbelievable guitarist.

I really enjoyed this video and your comments & feelings about the music & playing

My former band had a similar moment many years ago when Dave Mustain reviewed our CD, nothing better in the world than knowing one of your influences enjoyed your work.

What a great and humble mentor ! 🤘😆🤘

such a great video!

What a great idea for a video! Loved it!

dave justo is marty lowkey playing his own stuff on youtube

thanks for having Marty

I love his support towards us girl guitarists 💕🤘🏻 made my day 💕

Can't wait to see you on Feb 6th! Thanks Marty!

Marty is the king of melodies! I love his songs!

Marty seems to be like a really down to earth human being, yet his playing is something out of this earth. I remember when I first got my R.I.P. I was like WOW! I've never heard a guitar sound like this before. There's this devotion to music in his playing that not many guitar players have. Glad to see the master motivating future players.

Marty seems really cool. Ive watched lots of vids from Rock Fujiyama to all kinds of other clips with him and ive always got a good vibe from Marty.

Marty is my greatest inspiration as far as guitarists go. Rust in peace was the soundtrack of my very early childhood thanks to my parents. You're awesome Marty.

Anyone here remember listening to Rust In Peace for the first time back in 1990? I remember listening to it on a cassette my younger brother lent me, playing on a boombox while doing my calculus homework... I got an A+.

One of my alltime favorite guitarists.

Getting a hell yeah from Marty... Wow

Thank you Marty for your music contribution , you really made an influence to my choise of music , and because of your amazing solos i started listening Megadeth as well

mute and skip to 1:14 , that's me home alone when everybody goes to the groceries shop

"This guys touches, is the shit." Dude I would be so fuckin' stoked, man. That's gotta feel good.

Marty is a class act.

Loving Forbidden City! I miss that stuff so much.

Oh my god I love this vid. He explains everything so well

Marty is so kind!

I like how real Marty is. He gives credit where credit is due, but has no problem giving solid criticism.

Marty you are very humble and awesome to see your influence on these brilliant young players. Dude I remember when I was 18 or 19 and seen you when you first joined Megadeth. It’s was in 89 or 90 but it was at the Metroplex in Atlanta which was a fairly small dark dank underground club where skinheads,punks,and metal heads came to see their favorite bands of the day and you were bad ass then my friend as you are now. Then it was like the next year you guys were opening up for Dio on a major arena tour and I seen you guys again but in the Omni arena in Atlanta. Our seats were so far from the stage unlike at the Metroplex where we was right up under yall and the stage was only like waist high on us kids and man you guys was right in our faces. Man those were the days.

So humble...marty!!!.....my inspiration....

Haha no way! Thanks Marty!

Coolest guy ever! Really encouraging comments!

That is amazing about the connected world. Really cool Marty !

a really good guy, love the way he shares with no probs

As usual, Master Marty Friedman is a real gentleman and a cool guy with lads and pupils! Excellent review!

When Marty Friedman says "hell yeah, 10 out of 10" to your playing you know you've made it

Marty is an awesome player and person.

Marty is such a dude. This was a killer video.

I never thought Marty would watch people play his stuff for some reason.what a cool guy😉

Wow this...the internet needs more of this stuff

Just bought that black Tele Deluxe on the top rack back there. Love that axe.

Love you Marty Rock on brother

Love you Marty you one of the very best !!!

What a humble, cool guy! That’s what music is all about!!!

such a humble guy ever

lol, everyone of these: "I don't think this person gets me at all. I'm not this lame, and my real playing is so much more nuanced and special. Anyways, I really like this fan."

Nice to see

Not really my style of music (anymore), but man, Marty seems like such a nice and positive guy!

please do more videos like this with marty

What a great person he is (reason he's a great musician) !

Howard Stern is such a great player and cool dude!

What a nice guy!

My Lord .. Marty is a genuinely great inspiration .. Instead of trying to find fault in other's playing , He finds the greatness in their playing . Lifting someone up is so much easier than pushing someone down .. I am willing to bet the players that he complimented .. Are now charged .. I see why Marty Friedman and Jason Becker are friends .. They inspire and are humble ..

His tip of playing a few notes of a chord and stacking them to make them clear in distortion is genius

Did anyone notice that Marty's actually smoking, he's on fire even when he's not playing, got's to love the guy.

Marty keeps so real and humourous.

Megadeth was my 1st ever concert!! It was C.O.C opening up the Megadeth at the tower theater (philly) way back in either 94 or 95

Super nice guy!
