Luis Diaz serious. Marty was so good back then you really have to listen for the whammy bar work and vibrato to see who Marty is. Becker is very unique with the wang bar. Marty was indecipherable he was so badass on speed metal symphony.

@@OmniscientVirtuosity Marty doesnt use whammy bar wtf Jason does

Madden Marty did a few times but used Jason’s blue hurricane guitar when he did but he only did during his albums like dragon kiss

@@TheCommanderrob Never seen this comment 😂. So to clarify, yes, Marty has used whammy bar just a few times, he clarifies he used it on Dragon Mistress and Sword of The Warrior and that's about it, that's on his official website. Then he used the whammy bar live only to performance 'In My Darkest Hour' during Megadeth's era.

@@OmniscientVirtuosity well i feel like jason used the bar more since marty for a while now doesnt even play guitars with whammy bars. You can hear jason whammy bar madness pretty well on opus pocus

We won’t he’s not dead yet. Jason is a living legend. Up there with Mozart and Pagini

Recommend a 10th Standard Jason Becker follower's composition: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pa2nmMtqvN3PmnU.html

Jason was a Bach lover... which makes me love him even more.. also made his composing amazing.. he was on his way to being an insane improviser as well.. I’m sure he already was but we didn’t get to hear too much of it... all we heard was a lot of sweeping but his blues improv was just insane.. the whole perpetual burn album was composed so well. My favorite part being the second half of dweller in the cellar where Jason dedicated it to Paganini.

But let’s not ignore how good Marty is either!!! Everyone does!

Lol. Can't stop laughing

This is actually so true, if you even mention a technique the guys eyes flare up hahahaha

Did you see his eyes at that moment?

So weird, I've always thought that part of his stuff was based on sweeping. I actually learned how to sweep from him, or at least he gave me the idea to learn how to do it.

Like he said else where; your girlfriend lied to you, he doesn't sweep. He's hilarious.

Rust In Peace is the Best Metal Album ever.

lol

“I don’t sweep” sweeps

Yeah really. The first video REH he did a 3 octave sweep sequence that is sick . I guess he got away from 2 and 3 octave arpeggios ...and playing straight arpeggios to every chord progression in the universe " C major...i d k if i know that one." " i learned japanese from the back of Kiss's Hotter than Hell record " Marty can sell. Ice water to an eskimo

He also says he isn't a shredder yet he absolutely shreds. What a weirdo.

LOLOLOL. OMG. you said that so well Bryan. ROFLMAO. best comment ever about Marty and his sweep picking denial!!!!!!!

enjoyable to listen to

John Lozano he’s the “god of phrasing” tbh. His megadeth leads were so full of “it.” Whatever “it” is? Extreme memorable. Extremely impressive. Unlike his solo albums and whatever else crap he writes. Mustaine and Becker brought out the best in this guy. Competitive i suppose?

He does.

he was alternate picking most of that time.

I'm not a good server AT ALL -Roger Federer

it's economy picking

"I'm not a sweeper at all". Hangar 18, Lucretia, Tornado of Souls, Concerto, etc. etc.

@@garrettcarroll5808 sweeping is when you play arpeggios up and down. if you're just quickly playing a lick either ascending or descending, to save energy and clean things up, you just move the pick in one direction and hammer on/pull off the rest. this is what Marty actually does, which is economy picking. not sweeping like Jason Becker or Michael Angelo Batio

AJ the Marauder botox😂😂

AJ the Marauder Lmfaoooooooo

AJ the Marauder 😂🤣and a lot of conditioner for the curls

lol

I don't think he does drugs, drink, or smoke. On top of that he looks like he exercises & eats right.

Str8 up.

I don't think that Cacophony have bad songs actually

The vocals (Peter Marrino) weren't everyone's cup of tea. But I thought they were okay.

Man!!

Music back then was anti commercial . if you tried to be pop you were a poser . There was no chance of kissing a lables ass the bands of the tape trading under ground wanted to be the opposite

nah, i think they came to earth to make more people play the guitar.

Quit playing slow pop music , and play hyper speed . Sweep means " shit" in alien, so we use this language based on math to make earthlings more aware of their surroundings

Marty's such a musical dude. He doesn't know how to NOT be creative!

shoutout to the solo in lucretia

Sanberk Atalay and Tornado Of Souls. Mindblowing. Nuff said

@Sanberk Atalay and BOY SKINNY - plus one for Marty's solos in Lucretia and Tornado of Souls. I listened to those solos over and over back in 1991 when I got Rust In Peace. Absolutely loved them.

The part where goes crazy in Hangar 18 is too fast for most guitarists.

Inferno was such an Album

Strings 1043 he's explained it so many times, he's self taught and developed his own crosspicking technique. He didn't realise it was the "incorrect" way of playing until later and wouldn't advise anyone else to play that way

kisaposti As a person who studies physics, your comment made me laugh out loud at 4am in the morning lmao.

He's not Jason or Yngwie or Jeff Loomis, his approach is defined is economy picking but not full on sweeping

@@SantomPh And even Yngwie, his signature move isn't sweeping but descending runs where he's picking every note. Becker played with one hand just as much as he swept. For all of those players in the 80s especially Friedman, sweeping was just another trick in the arsenal with of yet not even a name; where for a lot of guitarists these days, it's what defines their soloing.

Friedman does lots of arpeggiated sweeps.. He doesn't really understand what it is himself.. Nit familiar to his ears

+ᛞᛖᚾᚾᛁᛋ ᛏᚱᛟᚹᚨᛏᛟ Wintersun Hype! Jari is seriously one of my favorite Musician.

+ᛞᛖᚾᚾᛁᛋ ᛏᚱᛟᚹᚨᛏᛟ Oh YES!! Jari is master in combining insanely technical stuff with great melodies.

He did a video for young guitar it's on KZfaq id highly recommend it.

And to think that he said Jason was on another level.

+Yoav Gruper You could also pay $20 and watch every interview and seminar we've ever done, including Marty's -- probably north of twenty hours worth of stuff at this point -- including hours of detailed technical commentary, and hundreds of painstakingly tabbed out slow-motion clips, just by becoming a subscriber to our little Netflix of guitar which we call Masters in Mechanics. That's what we imagined most people would do. But some people still like downloads, even if they could sign up and cancel at any point (which you can), so we made download options available. Yes, we price those mom-and-pop style, because it's exhausting to make all this. Marty was filmed in Tokyo, and I'm typing this at 1am on a NYC subway returning from another interview in Montana. The subscription option is the one we priced for the mass market, and we think it's a strong value for the level of technical insight we offer. This isn't just pointing a camera at famous people and talking. We're trying to tackle topics that aren't being addressed anywhere else. Whether we're succeeding or not, you can of course ask our subscribers. But we hope so!

+Yoav Gruper I do agree. And you see, Interstellar the movie (U$ 165 million budget for the making) is sell on iTunes for $6.99. Just yesterday Richie Kotzen put a new full concert on KZfaq - 1080p HD - totally for free.

+Yoav Gruper As Troy said, instead of paying $55 to download this interview, you can get a one month subscription to Masters in Mechanics for $20 and watch this plus every other interview and seminar. If you think that's still not a good value, that's up to you. Frankly, I think the Antigravity seminar alone could be priced in the 100s of dollars for how good the information is. I wouldn't rave the same way about the Marty interview, but overall, I think the MiM subscription price is very fair, especially since you could binge-watch all the content to date for just $20.

+Yoav Gruper Damn its $55?! I could listen to podcasts such as 'No guitar is safe' and hear plenty of interviews w/awesome musicians for free. Its crazy, people put out full fledged instructional videos for far less.

+Yoav Gruper Everyone is free to do what they want with their own ideas, including commenting their thoughts! Troy ought to set whatever price he wishes. Whether people pay, well, that's up to them!

no offence, loomis couldnt hold a candle to becker

+Chris Patrick yeah he could. Loomis might even be just as good

loomis is one of the greatest guitar players alive when it comes to shredding BUT he is not lyrical AT ALL. something that becker and friedman are.

XneoclassicaloverX y u say that

~DUUDDEE stop xDD

omg those eyes holy shit

Wait what??.. The cockroach from men in black Part 1?

That happened so fast 😹😹😹

Stravinsky and Japanese Enka music too

Eleven blue egyptians is economy picked with hammer ons and pull offs, but it's a bitch to play!

@@guitarbattleslive1274 Economy picking is basically throwing "mini sweeps" in there. I know how to do it myself. Marty shouldn't feel like he has to get so defensive over what is basically little 2 or 3 string sweeps thrown in there. You don't always have to sweep an arpeggio. You can sweep nearly any pattern/shape with practice. I've even learned to basically "sweep" the pentatonic scale, lol. It's just semantics.

No doubt! But I don't think he's really aware how much he does this, and on top of that, that this tendency is still what most of us would consider "sweeping". He's totally a play by feel guy, which is crazy when you consider how complicated the parts are that he's written/played over the years.

Very true, that's definitely what separates him from the rest. You guys should try to get Paul Gilbert on next! That would be awesome, cheers \m/

I second getting Paul Gilbert on!

Actually that's a very different movest, friedman's peculiarity consists in a very personal touch, those half tone bends of his and the way he moves the strings, now i just wanted to say that sweep picking is very very mechanical technique that barely leaves space for a full tone control, which is not the case, as u can see from the cam and the notes marty's playing basically he "downstrokes-pulling and hammering" over a chord, sweep picking my friend is much different, now as u can feel from my words im not a big fan of sweep for the simple reason that prevents any possible control over the note u play, personally i like to give it a little bend or maybe some vibrato switching a from tone and note to another by simply not sliding on the thext or previous fret but by pulling up and down the strings, if the concept of sweep picking was a person i guess it would be a hell studyin nerd in a classroom repeating the lesson as textbook commands, good luck to those who like it , but that's not made for me, and getting back to the topic friedman he's not a sweeper and mostly tornado of souls is the perfect example how his technique gets misunderstood, i personally played that solo and what you call a sweep action is nothing but a downstroke playing that i've been able to play instead in an up and down(alternate picking) action makin it sound the same(concerning the tone), for sweep picking to be so we need to apply some factor, the pressure on the strings the fluent and floating sound of the notes, even from the muscular side is a technique that does not employ a huge effort which makes it easier to learn 'cause you mostly focus on the movest of your left hand, surely you know as sweep picking sounds, but if love guitar and everything concerning guitars just like me you should pay more attention to the little details that most of all in music can make huge differences

Alessandro Indelicato I completely agree with you on the analysis of Marty's technique. His "sweeps" are essentially economy picking with hammer-ons/pull-offs. Sweeping, on the other hand, is one fluid down or up stroke very similiar to strumming a chord.

yeah, but they're talking about guitar technique. which is now irrelevant to Jason's music. Marty is Jason's biggest supporter, so i hope you're not trying to spin it to make Marty look bad. he's playing on a tune on Jason's upcoming album as well.

GOTTEM

Right! I told Marty in the interview that he has a voice where you can always tell it’s him playing by sound alone.

Yeah, I rewatched the full interview recently, and Marty seems curiously defensive. I think that because he doesn't think in a rigidly structured way about what he plays (and takes pride in that), he almost seems to take any generalization about his playing (however valid) as an accusation of being formulaic. Or he'll overload descriptive language others use about his playing to have a restrictive/negative connotation that wasn't intended, and then try to argue it doesn't apply to him. I don't know if this is a product of negative conversations he's had with other people over the years, or what. On some level, he seems to *want* his playing to remain some kind of inscrutable enigma. Maybe under other circumstances, with no camera rolling, he'd let his guard down a little more. Maybe Troy was simply the wrong messenger/interviewer in this instance (even though I think Troy's work is amazing).

he meant up stroke and down stroke like ''Bloop bloop" sound actually he does pick those notes.

I have every single instructional video of Marty. Dude, he is sweeping EVERYTHING. He basically has almost NO alternate picking when soloing. Its either economy (as in 2 string mini sweeps), legato or sweep. Check the slow-mo. Its down-down-down on the arpeggio and only goes alternate between strings using the "outside of the strings" method when he wants to go up. Plus, 99% of his 2 recordings with Cacophony and then Dragon's Kiss, he sweeps ENDLESSLY in every single phrase. Now, to give credit, he rarely does the whole arpeggio up and down to the get "bloop-bloop" effect, however it is NOT that rare...He actually has more than 2-3 "bloop-bloop" sessions into EVERY SONG.... I can name a thousand phrases. And as I said, he is my FAVOURITE guitarist, I studied him years and years....

You are an idiot. Learn the basics. What IS economy picking dude? Its a continuous motion of picking, a SWEEP from one string to the other. What a douche.....

+Brandon Lee Vellozo wow, what was that?

Brandon Lee Vellozo In an old cacophony interview when they were in Japan you can see his eye does that too lol

reptilian alert

I saw you hating on Megadeth and Mustaine on some other video.
