Betcha Can't Play This with Marty Friedman #3

[@dhika388]

"and i bet you can't pick like this"

[@LetsPlayMrK]

okay, well, modes are simply inversions of the major scale. So, if you play the 3 note per string major scale in G, you're playing Ionian (technically). However, if you start the same scale on A, rather than G, but play through the G major scale, you'd now be in dorian.. If you start from a B note, and play through the G major scale until you reach the B octave, you've hit phrygian. The important thing is that you cant hear a mode without having the correct note in the background

[@thesistersboil]

this is an actual question, i'm working my way through these videos and if i can play all of them is there some sort of prize??

[@magneloilterribile890]

+The World of Mrs. Smith Sunlight!

[@thesistersboil]

Howie Mandel asked me the same question on America's Got Talent and was boo'ed by the 8000 people in the audience for it why don't people think I'm real? This is real-life. I'm a real-life person.

[@thesistersboil]

ÁUß Code i don't understand anything you are asking me i'm afraid i'm quite sorry that said please follow me on Facebook and instagram

[@DocRoc94]

Oh don't be such a snob, it's an honest question he's asking. Don't pretend you don't know what he's talking about.

[@AUBCodeII]

@@thesistersboil Hi Mrs. Smith

[@bobilly]

One of the most uniquely voiced lead guitarists out there.

[@joelandreasson8445]

this sounds beautiful

[@NVH-hi7wp]

I just don't get his pick hand

[@lifegoeson2422]

NVH1984 Only he can do it

[@11DNA11]

"Hello, i'm Marty Friedman, now i'm gonna divide by zero" He's such an amazing guitarist.

[@jessehuerta2028]

Here is a "I don't care" moment for y'all. One of my best friends played guitar with Marty during some of his solo touring. He knows I have always been a huge Megadeth fan so it was kinda funny when he sent me the link to the article saying that he was going to be Marty's guitarist. He was on stage with Marty trading off solos and obviously backing him up. His name is Ron Jarzombek..(you should look him up) that is my claim to fame :-) Great thing is he is just as nice as Marty. Very humble

[@hiltontoney]

i like it how he looks at the camera the whole time awesome

[@1madaboutguitar]

So clear and precise

[@save12ed]

Anybody else watch these things, not to learn how to play them, but to just stare open mouthed at the awesomeness?

[@brandon11q]

its mixed scale solo, Phrygian...dorian... this helped me

[@pranavdhokre8980]

You're goddamn right... I can't play that!

[@alsatiancousin2905]

his licks are a LOT trickier than they seem, and he has excellent improvisational skills on top of that.

[@RonPaulMountainBiker]

his face is awesome. matches the awesome playing

[@FleshMeltingMetal13]

Neither did Chris Poland, but both excelled at it. They are still up their with the gods of melodic guitar.

[@Takunrsx]

ya...marty friedman is one of the reasons i start playing guitar,when i heard his solo on Architecture of aggression...that sealed the deal for me

[@pee12345]

Marty is What people call a "super musician". He Has extraordinary talent and he is an expert composer of music and has his own style. He also helped me with improv and had some really good point at the end of this video \m/

[@DylanVonFrankenstein]

he has really good feel for guitar playing. No a "robot' guitar player at all.

[@Jukle0]

He just stares deep into your soul when he plays the slow part.

[@EllTeeTwoThree]

Holy shit his feel for it is amazing.

[@pedrinhodam]

"hopefully you can" What a nice guy.

[@sermerlin1]

The thing is not whether or not you can play notes... The real thing is doing it all with his picking style!

[@twst1]

couldn't they have named the series something more inspirational, like "you can play this shit! I'ma show you how!"? i've been playing for a long, long time and i've never been able to shred

[@apisitzero]

He looks at the camera the whole time and not at his fret board. Fret board mastery at its best.

[@fabjanceka]

I love this man.

[@kkevinC]

Marty seems like a cool guy. Great playing by the way.

[@GiannisKJ19]

Yeah that's the spirit ! Friedman rules !!!!!

[@hybris159]

My favourite guitar player EVER 🔥🤟

[@LioFuzz]

@JedCee33 I think he came before Slash, I like them both.

[@jan1080]

One thing about Marty: He ALWAYS looks stoned. I don't even think he is stoned, he just always looks reaaaaaaally chillaxed.

[@LemonheadFr]

i miss this band...

[@nextbestguitarist]

Before you judge make sure you listen to all of their music and not make judgement off maybe 1 or 2 songs, and anyways Cacophony was a speed metal band. But listen to Images that is a very very musical song.

[@xDXPxJOEx456x1]

Hes such a nice guy

[@MaelstromTheDemon]

Ah! Thank you, that was very helpful!

[@MetalAgainstMetallic]

@cris931609 it's the harmonic scale, 7th degree is raised 1/2 step.

[@chosen1162]

That's what makes Marty Friedman!

[@UKLegendUK]

I love this man. And I'm straight!

[@thrasherlml]

dude hes such a nice guy noone else says they hope you can

[@hummarstra]

I love Marty. He's a genius.

[@halfacat1]

this guy could be a great teacher

[@n1c4m1]

Hey, this is Marty Friedman and betcha I cant play this coz it sure sounds like it!!! :O

[@Premdus]

Marty OWNS !!!

[@Maxxlenoxx]

@fiercebeaver1 Amen... it's much more difficult or much more valuable to me if you can create your own style instead of just picking faster than someone else. Within the first few notesof an audio sequence, anybody can recognize Marty's style.

[@MaelstromTheDemon]

I don't really understand modes, could someone explain them to me please?

[@Nikomegadeth]

@Blitzzkreigg press 2,3,4,5 very fast, is AWESOME hahahaha

[@GermanLehmann98]

Would love to see a Betcha cant play this with Jason Becker.

[@Hailstonedpikachu]

@evilpancakeman harmonic minor, lots of modes (sounds like mainly locrian and phrygian), chromatic passing notes

[@fourgreyclover]

Good one!

[@kgtfansite13]

nice japanese sounding stuff, like the exotic sounds, but quite simple to play

[@lawnboyph]

@11DNA11 Holy shiot, my head just exploded.

[@johnnyboyA7X]

He's such a nice person :)

[@Kevin2rox]

It does sound Phrygian... but I believe he's playing over C Harmonic Minor and towards the end he switches to Minor Pentatonic. But its definitely the key of C minor.

[@_witchyy_]

I miss the old, amazing Marty Friedman.

[@HateCrew119]

i love how he threw in "hopefully you can" XD hahahahah

[@dhikayudhaperdana8161]

that's the most difficult "betcha can't play this" because it's hard to pick the string that way

[@1madaboutguitar]

He is! Just Watch his melodic control videos on here

[@OGh0st]

@icee489 Cacophony was Marty´s band with Jason Becker

[@LetsPlayMrK]

glad i can help! Being a guitar teacher pays off haha

[@Shezmen88]

living god!

[@xPurpleDrinkx9001]

Its because im a more experienced listener that makes my taste more advanced. After a while neoclassical becomes the norm. There is no missing out when you already experience it. Arrogant? maybe, but i am right.

[@zalen292]

i could maybe attempt this if i can damn learn how to sweep pick

[@KyNaStyLe]

Everybody this is Marty Friedman, and bitch you can't play this !

[@TalMK]

...which blends well with his picking hand :-)

[@MegaICS]

His face at 0:51 is HILARIOUS. XD

[@terrorking01]

Marty is awesome~!@

[@grievous56]

He is super unique.

[@tylerzipperer]

@PSIboy66 Thats just because dave is a talented guitar player, and can tell when he hears someone better. which is pretty rare.

[@DavidWrightmusician]

That does it I'm going to play my six string. Thanks Marty! =)

[@SufferDYT]

lol i like how every time he plays a chord he throws his right hand up

[@thetruth4uguys]

Genius

[@NarfireVA]

@hairlessdog101 i'm guessing that it'd be anything he played on a record or live, there was one arpeggio where he went on 8 to 15 on the high e

[@diabeticmonkey]

He began that the same way as #2.

[@Sevoverkill]

but you MUST do it with his picking style, that's the real challenge here

[@loco4201]

@stubee5150 i was wondering if anyone else noticed his right hands weird position, i noticed a long time ago till tryin to figure out why he is the only one like looks like that...

[@JHHfin92]

I just love how he doesn't even look at the fretboard as he's playing :D

[@qwerty123123ify]

@HOSNILOVESMETAL Theres a reason he went to japan, Japan has some of the most amazing guitar players.

[@RoCkErX285]

@jiiomg He's not just a rhythm player he regularly plays solos.

[@18FrozenProductions]

reminds of a song from Egypt or something :P

[@theuser9425]

Because it's Harmonic Minor scale

[@Mynameisfukingtaken]

MY GOD HIS RIGHT HAND HUNGERS

[@Tee20Roy]

@Blitzzkreigg hold them all down for the hell of it

[@BRADHblackdragon]

yeah nice..engl rock..my fave amps at mo

[@Nidaime299]

his picking style boggles my mind o-o no idea why

[@MetallicAciDD]

@fiercebeaver1 And he knows how to be unique-he uses a scale called japanese in sen. I learned all that shapes and it's an amazing locrian mode scale!

[@IngNGomez]

marty , i have to confess that you are the best guitar pplayer i've fukin ever seen iin my fukin life !

[@SpicyDragoon]

"Hey this is Marty Friedman betcha can't... well you couldn't the last two times so ha!"

[@kgtfansite13]

lol that sounds like a dream to me , I'd definitely do it he he

[@JoshNpublicgplus]

Pretty sure this is essentially a C-major Phrygian mode scale, in case anyone is wondering.

[@luigicachetelli284]

Marty commented this on his Facebook page so check it out if you want to play this betcha can't play this

[@magicwindow666]

hes a genius!

[@johnnyboyA7X]

@soapdonkey It's because he didn't have a teacher when he started so he just played how it felt comfortable :)

[@junNohara]

he oways gives extra tips in these videos. :)

[@ironbrea]

"Hey everybody this is Marty Friedman and i betcha can't play this...hopefully you can (nah, just joking HAHÁ).... diriuwuriwuruiwuriririwiiriririrriir iiIWIIIIRUWEEEUU!!! (now they are fucked up)

[@KrsJH]

marty's the man!

[@tonyg1011]

Hey, Marty it's so weird that u just played that cuz i was just thinking those exact notes in the same pattern AS you played them...weird right ?

[@gnrledzep4eva]

i think its either C harmonic or melodic minor

[@technoguyx]

@evilpancakeman Because he uses exotic scales of that sort.

[@LetsPlayMrK]

it is in the key of C, he's just playing the phygian mode on top of it

[@Breisler]

i hold my pick exactly like he does

[@italowc39]

"HI! THIS IS JOHNNY KNOXVILLE AND THIS IS THE MARTY FRIEDMAN MAKES YOU QUEEF."

[@guitar7901]

I am actually quite jealous of that Paul Reed Smith
