[Only] Marty Friedman - Jam at Jason Becker Fundraiser (04/23/21) 

NOBODY in the metal world can touch Marty's feel.

4:53 truly amazing improvising, pure melody

Even Herman Li having eargasm on Marty's playing 😂😂😂

Marty’s bending and vibrato should be 18+ to watch on YT

Marty is THE most original metal guitarist around- his feel and phrasing are totally unique- he is also a master of composition....technique is secondary to melody- but of course he is also a true master of technique also....he was amazing with Cacophony but has truly matured into another level of musicality

Marty doesn’t improv riffs and licks during the first run of a backing track. He writes a fkn song. Lol. Legend.

Not of his world, makes me cry, touch every part of me soul, thx Marty, thx Herman & thx Becker, thx for my best musical moments when I was 14 ‘88 you guys are a very important part in my life

his improvising skills are out of the chart, great vibe

In 1985 I used to go to his band practices then in 86”when I left Hawaii I told every guitarist on Long Island NY about Marty they all laughed at me before hearing his music because of his name sounding un-rock like. Then soon after Cacophony came out 😊

Marty's playing is so distinctive that is recognizable from only a bend or a couple of notes ...

I’ve always Loved Marty’s unique exotic melodic phrasing, and he really makes each note stand out and sing :) he’s such a great player and great guy from what I’ve heard :)

I’ve not heard many guitarists being able to improvise solos as catchy and sounding like a final product as much as Marty. Truely amazing choice of notes and when he plays something slightly strange he just jump into the strangeness instead of going back to known territory. What a player !

“I got stuck” 4:46 then proceeds to improvise a whole song and its beautiful

Man I hope to one day improvise as good as him. I have watched this probably 10 times at least over past year or so and it blows me away every time. So fkn good

11:18 Tf Marty playing over that rhythm like he has played Bamboleo since childhood 😄😄 surprising just awesome 🤯 12:37 that slow tempo always beautiful for Marty ❤️❤️spectacular💯👍

Marty sounds simultaneously like a vocalist, sax, harmonica, and a variety of Asian instruments I don't know the names of. His feel and technique are simply incredible. 🙌🏼🔥🤘🏼💙🐐🙌🏼

Everybody loves you Marty You are My inspiration ❤️❤️❤️❤️ From India

Listening to various artist.,, Im easily impressed but then again it aint nothing that you cant do at the end of the day.. listening to marty, makes me wanna just....... Listen!!!!!! until he's tired and he cant play, and just wait for another moment for him to pick that thing up again.

This moment at 13:43 when he starts going high, the way he ends that little cheomatic phrase with that half step bend is so gorgeous...

The shred ballad is the most beautiful instrumental song ive ever heard.

Even Marty can’t tame his talent. He tried to contain himself to allow Herman to play (after Herman grabbed a guitar). Herman wanted to hear. And Marty once again became possessed with raw TALENT.

Marty is a beast on improvising

Marty Rules!!!!!!!!! One of the Best guitarist on the planet. No one else plays like him.

So jealous of Friedman’s bends & vibrato but then every guitar player is!🤟

Truth is Marty is unique because he walked away from typical shredders and what they were learning and he adopted,learned to play music, scales outside what western was playing. That's why he is unique. Quite similar to if you learn Spanish scales, middle easter music, Chinese, Japanese scales whatever and apply that to your playing. I salute you.!

Marty's ballads are so beautiful!

Marty is so original. If I could be one 10th, or 20th of his single guitar bend, after playing for over 25 years, I'll consider myself talented.

EVH helped me find this.

fuck, the pain and joy in those phrasings.

5:00 amazing

If there is a guitar god, he is Marty Friedman.

all marty´s emotion is shown when jason becker is the topic

There’s always someone’s playing that just stands out. 🤟

Holy Shit! I'm not crying.

Wow thank you so much ! It's the best thing a Marty's fan could ever dream about

you can really feel the huge respect of LI to friedman

Its a totally different class of player.

how does Marty Friedman not have carpal tunnel from playing guitar like that?

Anybody else listening to marty but looking at Herman's face?

Marty, Herman, and Saki jam session would be awesome.

Marty is the best for me. My favorite guitar player.

Marty friedman virtuoso con jason becker. No habrá como ellos nunca.

Those first like 40 seconds…. That tone is so sick. (I don’t know that much about guitars)

Shred ballad is absolutely beautiful

Thanks for the uploading!! Marty as awesome as always!

Too bad the audio is choppy af. Such amazing playing. Thanks for putting this together!

Poor Herman. He couldn't even get in a lick or two before Marty would shut him down! 😂 Yes, I'm aware Herman's parts were edited out. But when you look at through this lens, it makes it all the more funnier. 🤘😝🤘

FUCCCCKKKK SOOOO good marty. After hearing this, i really wonder how jason wouldve played at this age? You can tell Marty is in the stratosphere in the phrasing department. So original.

My fav guitarist Marty He makes the guitar crying ;)

my eyes are getting hurt by just looking at his right hand but surely my ears and your ears gets what it wants

Marty the best guitar...soul...improv perfec...👍👍👍💝💝

Just amazing!

Marty plays so uniquely, even though he isn’t a fast guitar player but the notes he can squeeze out of that Jackson though!

Absolutely no need for words...

Yo Vi el directo entero y la verdad si se siente la diferencia entre Marty y Lee Marty es mucho más expresivo y combina más la velocidad con la expresividad mientras que lee es mayormente shred y corre por correr mostrando técnicas pero casi sin mucho sentido por el contrario con Marty que hace que la improvisación suene magica

Thank you ❤❤❤I adore Jason Becker 👑👑

11:16 Total Control

Most people don't know this but one of the key factors that makes Marty's sound unique is his strange right hand. The flexed curvature is basically a modified form of the rare Gypsy Jazz style picking, which was invented to create a louder, more aggressive pick attack. He leverages a massive downward pickslant and uses circular thumb picking to get around the string change issue (for example when the pick is below the string and he needs to move to the string above). You can't reach as much consistent speed output with Gypsy style picking as you can with traditional picking but you get MUCH more power. Think of it like the difference between an AK47 and a metronome. AK47 shoots extra fast and clean in short bursts but then soon gets out of control if you keep shooting without rest, but the sound is dynamic and powerful while a metronome maintains consistent high speed, but the sound is rather weak and mechanical.

Because he created his own sound unlike anyone else. Mostly self taught. Love his philosophy if you mess up on stage playing an original tune just smile and do it again, so everyone thinks was on purpose..

Man i love 1:10 onward

The great of the greatest 🙌

Omfg im melting

I'm guessing these have Herman Li edited out as they trade 16s or 32s or whatever and the person editing this deserves kudos for making it as seamless as possible.

That vibrato Sound is absolutely mad

That picking hand makes my whole arm hurt

You know back in the day when I watched a video of Marty saying that he left Megadeth because it was a bit too aggressive and thrashy for his style I didn't want to accept it. But watching this video you can really see how much his style shines with med/slow ballads. Marty would be an amazing guitarist for any band. But nothing quite captures his talent quite like his self debut albums. I get that now. He truly has found his voice in the guitar.

4:48 - 5:28 sounds like something he spent time composing, and he just whipped it out in the middle of a jam. Insane player lol By the way, I saw this entire stream live. In the final few minutes where Marty took questions, I threw one in chat and he answered it :) If you were curious, I just asked what his favorite song from Scenes was (I was really into that album around the time the stream happened). He said something about recently playing the album live about a week before the stream at a show, and he said it was good for the time but he would've done a lot of things differently if he wrote the album nowadays.

MARTY MY BEST GUITARIS ❤❤❤

12:14 Those Arpeggios are common to Becker and Friedman

Marty Bendman

Marty won this one

Who knows what conference software they used?

Here for the Boomer Bends!😏

🥇🏆👑

Sticky sound went through in my body

Marty is not a random guitar player like Herman. He is a real artist.

how did they sync the song to play together?

Herman is speed monster and best

9:00 ,11:23 ,13:30 Crazy ass leads

Whenever my name appears on screen it’s so dark it doesn’t show up. So people are @ing me and I’m like “what did I say???” And I can’t find.

come on Marty let Herman play a little 🤣 (I know is edition, but seen it this way is funny )

イケメンさんの顔芸がおもしろい

If the Master MF just could return to Megadeth so I could die in peace sells ...

the one you didn't find the backing is, I believe, i still got the blues for you by gary moore, at least the progression is pretty much the same

you cant not just watch marty and not learn something

I want to herman part too lol

Is that the Dreamtheater dude?

Where can I fild the full video ? I guess its not fair cut Herman Lee parts because he is doing an wonderful job raising funds to Jason Becker

JORDAN RUDESS ON GUITAAAAR!!!!! WITH HAIIIRRRR!?!?!

this is the link to the one you didn’t find: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gcCJXUCH21E.html

That bendings by Marty should be banned!!!! 🤣😄😂🤘

Marty sat the student down and played the guitar. i know why you deleted his opponent's guitar performance. Marty's play are on a different level than that long-haired student.
