Marty Friedman: Exotic Metal Guitar

Marty is a great instructor, and the booklet is perfectly readable so you can practice what he's showing. His sound is kind of odd though, its like they hardly turned the amp up and its coming through his microphone. The sound of the CD is excellent, I don't mean that. Its just the sound he chose to use for the "gig" . Anyway, I recommend it.

This dvd is amazing marty friedman shows how you can take a boring scale shape and make it exiting just in two days of watching this ive gained alot of information from this its amazing if you know scales arpeggios and different ways to look at it keeps it intertaning and if you cant read the screen it cones with a mini booklet of the tabs pretty small but still good but overall i love this dvd and marty is one of my favoritw guitarist with jason becker so if you love marty friedman and cocaphony this will help you dig in there amazing !!!!

Marty Friedman is one of the all time great unknown guitar players. He got most of his recognition playing with Megadeth but a lot of people don't know about his 2 albums with cacophony (the best shred metal band) or his solo work. In this DVD he offers a lot of very interesting advice about playing outside of the box. Namely using Japanese scales, playing in a 5/8 time signature, and playing over chord changes rather than doing pentatonic licks. Great tips from a great guitar player, also check out the Hotlicks DVD for Jason Becker (the other guitar player from Cacophony).

I love this DVD. The instructino is simple to follow and he provides some great ways of thinking about playing differently. Not everyone can be Marty Friedman (in fact no one else can). But if you like seeing inside how guys like this think, get this DVD and take time to consider what he is trying to do with his playing. Thus, you will discover what sets him apart.A definitely worthy purchase.Beware, however, you may want to neglect other aspects of your life after receiving this DVD. :)

Incredible look at how young Marty thought and developed his playing style. A must own for Marty fans. Possibly his best video lesson.

This video is great for advanced players looking to add uniqueness to their phrasing. Beginners should look elsewhere as this will go over your head.

It's Marty Friedman dude!!!!

poor quality video. The on screen notation is unreadable.

Marty Friedman is deservedly a metal guitar legend. His early work with Jason Becker in Cacophony set the standard for shredding metal and they were both still in their teens! He then brought his guitar to a wider audience with Megadeth followed buy some very varied solo releases.This is a DVD release of an old tuitional video where he demostrates his unique approach to playing patterns and scales. He also covers expressive melodies and solo composition. This isn't a DVD that you'll learn all the exercises from by heart. Friedman instead challeges the way you think about playing lead guitar.It's advanced level stuff and not for the faint hearted. Highly recommended.Interesting all of the guitar is played clean with no distortion or effects.

Great dooved thangs v much

Was expecting video lessons longer than 40 minutes. Tabs that appear in the video are blurry.

Mit der Zusendung der CD bin ich sehr zufrieden, sie wurde schnell ausgeliefert, sonst wäre ich wqahrscheinlich im Streik der Amazoin-Mitarbeiter hängen geblieben.
