Marty is never get rust. He is like a fine wine. The older he gets, the better his taste. I love every tone he picks.

[@MartyFriedman-hr4tv]

Thank you!

Reminds me totally to the Scenes album...

[@jasonmiller7426]

Was just thinking the same thing 😎

[@ApekSuperheroes]

Yes! Glad something like it finally came along!

[@nefedis7775]

Love it

[@swarnski8uu]

Marty said in an interview i read (can't remember where) that this new album is the spiritual successor to Scenes. It has that sound, instrumentation, etc... wich is awesome, because it's my all time favorite album from MF. My mom likes country and pop, and she requests I play Scenes when I'm taking care of her. It's a relaxing album. Beautifully done.

[@3iopen]

It certainly does, I love that album. I remember special ordering that record on CD from HMV back in the early 90's I waited months for it to arrive. I still have it 2024!

[@Erichmustaine88]

Marty may be one of the best guitarist in the world, he can just do it all. He’s incredible

[@MasaHeadbanger]

Marty Friedman's songs are always full of love. It's a great song!🥰

[@Luusbueb66]

It's great that Frontiers records have a contract with Marty. I love his guitar playing and I'm really looking forward to a new album. Hopefully Frontiers will record any more guitar virtuosos from the Shrapnell era. 🎸🌅

[@danielcelier]

Yeah! we need more from the golden era.

[@sytharnia1717]

i'm just glad they didn't put some boring generic singer with him like Lynch is doing

[@1Deep43VA]

What’s the Shrapnell era?

[@sytharnia1717]

@@1Deep43VA I would say 1983 (with the Steeler Malmsteen album) to around 1990

I think Marty has finally become a saint, he will ascend to the heavens

[@RockShowsVynils]

he has gained all the heavens

[@jcl644]

Saint of guitar

[@MedardKrzisnik]

It is awesome that Marty Friedman is back with the album that reminiscences Scenes. That is what we need right now, really. An album that shows sensibility and care for serious music. Thank you, Marty.

[@guitarmichael]

Marty sure can nail a key change.

[@neoclassic09]

yeah he makes it work so great

[@svenreumschussel5362]

Amazing song. There is so much energy in every note. The expression grew stronger on Marty over the years. That's one of the reasons why I love this music so much. There is really only one Marty Friedman

[@VitorSantos-jm8tb]

Nothing and nobody beats Marty at his own game... what a song ❤

[@valentinobitonto8195]

Fully Agree with you!

[@sabakotrick]

何と美しい。弦が弾かれる生々しく美しい音に、脳が痺れます。 藤沢でのギターセミナー楽しみにしています。

[@LeandroOlavarria]

The first part sounds like a Piazzolla tango in the late 70s. Exquisite way to play Marty. You're the greatest!

[@agustinalessio]

es un tango!

[@malmsteen1973]

can anyone recognize the source of inspiration for the main theme (1:04-1:18)? I still scratch my mind and didn’t find it…

[@pablocanizares3878]

Zamba del laurel de tejada y el cuchi leguizamon O tambien la pomeña

[@channie6923]

This man achieved with his melodies what many cannot, his music heals the soul. Thank you Marty "Angel" Friedman👼❤

[@edwindichio1875]

Reminds me of Scenes & Introduction , two of my favourite albums from Marty Friedman 👍

[@neoclassic09]

he's talked about how this new album will kind of be like a Scenes 2.0

[@sangpengembara2875]

Marty always have adorable notes and his sound's very gorgeous his guitar is sing a song not just notes

[@weird_cds8206]

Reminds me of scenes which is one of my favorite albums by Marty

[@Spankmaster28]

He said somewhere, that the whole Album is gonna be very similar to scenes.

[@jackburton7785]

Marty's use of dissonance, bending, and vibrato are unmatched. Every single no is a master class in phrasing.

[@christophercoles4401]

I've always been a fan, so it's nice to see Marty getting the praise he deserves. He's one of my favorite guitarists of all time and I've been listening to them for more than 50 years now. I've already pre-ordered the album. I can't wait to hear more of this virtuosic musicianship. 🎸🤘✌️

[@v.j.leonardo6988]

Desde hace más de 50 años 🤔

[@freedomsign2885]

You sent me light years away from this galaxy and back into love...relaxation and tension. Carousel. And back into love and hope. Thank you for this magic

[@jackburton7785]

His style is as iconic as any of the legendary players, Beck, May, Hendrix...because his style is HIS style. I know it's Marty from note one. Always unique, always killer.

[@marirbramos6441]

Marty sos un genio, mi alma goza con tu música.Gracias por tanta exquisitez musical 🙏🎼🌹❤️🇦🇷from Argentina Buenos Aires🎸🎶🇦🇷

[@Michael-ii9gy]

I'm always searching for awesome new rock i haven't heard, and dang glad i found this💯❣️

[@nickray6861]

Amazing feeling.....incredibile Marty

[@woobagooba1733]

Brilliant arrangement from start to finish

[@gainonten4031]

thank you for curing my soul

[@sean._.guitar]

I am overjoyed with absolute admiration for Martys incredible talent! His playing, so melodically beautiful and emotionally wrapped in gorgeous phrasing - every note speaking volumes to the soul. The emotions I felt listening to this today after it just being released I cannot describe with words - His music is once in a lifetime we are so lucky to be able to witness the musical genius that is Marty Friedman 🎸🤝😆😆😆😆😆

[@swarnski8uu]

Imagine if Jason could still play. The magic those two would make today...OMFG!!

[@ycroniyael1976]

Marty friedman is not making guitar records he is making music masterpieces like this one ❤. Love you Marty.

[@зот]

I LOVE MARTY FRIEDMANNNN

[@SteveKaynan]

What a surprise this was today!!! Reminds me of the albums "Arrival" and "Scenes!" Fantastic!

[@foxyzorritoplayer2220]

I don’t only love his passion when playing and the beautiful licks and feel, that rhythm and lead tone are out of this world

[@nickvankempen]

The Uli Jon Roth influence is very clear on this song. Very nice 👌

[@raphaelgalasso]

Yes The way of he play his bends

[@c-LAW]

Also Chopin chromatics

[@nicolasemilio2511]

Si me querías romper el Corazón , lo lograste!!!Saludos desde Argentina.

[@stephanodsilva]

Marty puts everything into every note, every nuance...it almost needs be slowed down to appreciate. He's not like other fast players who just trigger notes. Incredible feeling and beauty in his playing. And his pitch and vibrato...worth the ticket price alone. Inspiring!

[@flemminghedemann9672]

i always think of Jason Becker, when i hear Marty playing...

[@MaestroGreggoryTV]

He is the Jeff Beck of heavy metal. Brilliant musician.

[@DenmasSani]

Jeff Beck is the Marty Friedman of whatever the hell Jeff Beck plays.

[@idk9637]

@@DenmasSani jeff came first thats why he said it that way i imagine. no reason to switch it around

[@neoclassic09]

I'm not sure if Marty listened to much Beck, although they have some similar approaches to melody. I do know that Jason Becker was a huge Jeff Beck fan and it shaped his approach to melody while Marty influenced him and vice versa - so there might be some overlap. Either way, it's awesome to hear new Marty stuff, especially like this. No one else plays or sounds like him whatsoever.

[@tallahoramismo]

​@@neoclassic09all I know is that Marty is a Uli Jon Roth fan.

[@karlosed]

So many beautiful and amazing melodies, soulfully played, with gentle touch of challenging performance, as always. Thanks again maestro Marty.

[@hendragemma2492]

Back to Scenes & introduction 👍👍

[@MarioAwake]

Not of this earth Marty! Fantastic, only tears, love you! ❤❤❤

[@wabbadu1]

Great tune! It kinda had a Brian May at a French cafe vibe to it.

[@EVEROSFP1]

The essence of modern Japanese composers, as well as his personal taste in this song, makes a beautiful blend.. always a joy to listen to Marty.

[@TheJonz80]

This is another masterpiece from Marty. Evokes the elements from his earlier works like Be, Devil Takes Tomorrow, Undertow - especially those distinctive arpeggio runs and pre and overbends

[@MrMegaFredZeppelin]

This is most Excellent🎸ROCK ON!!!!!!!🤘🏻🤙🏻✌🏻

[@kneeshiddho]

Sound of Raining outside is now making sense... Thank you Maestro... ❤

Holy eff, got goosebumps by the melody

[@Ssllayer]

A true Master. This is just beautiful. No words to speak...

This is pure art. I'm so in love with this song. I'm really looking forward to the transcription of this piece to be able to play it. Marty, you're a true artist and an inspiration.

[@thefuturemachineband]

Marty is Marty! So Unique, so special, so Beautiful, So Melodic, So Exotic and full of Soul! Simply amazing after all these years!

[@timmarshallcurtis4727]

Really, really beautiful. I can only dream of composing like this.

[@ridhoazhari1957]

Marty friedman is the soul gitarist in the world

[@nolituh]

I'd love to see Jason Becker's reaction listening to this beautiful piece of music from his friend Marty 😊

[@presskeytoplay]

4:45 - 5:45 wow!

[@Crusader1099]

This is just brilliant🎶👍

[@rivervolgachannel9302]

He always nailed to create this kind of melody

[@michaelespinosa9168]

This song brings joy to my heart ❤️

[@sixstringslayaguitarman419]

Love it! Reminds me of Scenes. And its great to see Marty using the Kelly on the cover.

[@tedcabana]

Amazing, as always!!! Marty just has the most unique style and sound. And those diminished, whole-tone/augmented runs, and melodies. Only Marty can play the way he does. And yes! He does have the most amazing hair, ever!

[@YSaintLibra]

Thank you marty 🥺🥺🥺

[@MyGuitartime]

Marty always has the best writing!

[@memorymelodica]

I'm grateful for this piece of music. I would say more, but I don't have the words

Maestro Friedman 🙏🏼

Amazing marty is the best of the best everyone just copies him in metal today him and jason becker are my favs ❤ what a beutiful song.

[@salosalo5231]

Excellent 👏🏼 🤘🏻

[@ApekSuperheroes]

Man this is absolutely beautiful! I'm tearing up 😭😭😭

[@alejandrootano1327]

Maryy Friedm! never gets old!😂

[@karnecita]

amazing as usual, very sentimental and that sentiment increases up to min 3 where it explodes into this melodic guitar and ahhhh, i love it man

[@SeveredLegs]

This is sooooo good. If the rest of the material is this level of songwriting and ....everything, it's gonna get some heavy rotation.

[@irishRocker1]

So cool to see him with the Jackson Kelly again!

[@akidk1499]

5:13 - 5:15 that hybrid picking lick fits perfectly

[@dtp584]

another masterpiece, had Marty on the phone about 30 years ago, time flies!

[@JeremieFriez]

If the other tracks are in the style of this and Scenes... It will be an instant purchase! Been waiting for this for a looooooong long time!

[@meahulapela]

Love it, and the photo being a little nod to Marty's good friend Jason is top notch!

[@nicolasservian4068]

so much emotion at 5:17. this theme is so beautiful.

[@byronli203]

It's the best part!! Marty's crying guitar!

[@SamLazier]

Modulation always works

[@lucasbazzano7290]

Wonderfull!

[@crowtubecrozier2857]

Sounds amazing, he's alway been one of my favorite guitar heroes

[@emilyjamir]

I didn't knew marty Friedman was signed by frontier

[@franciscapacia7335]

Surprise

[@thevaultkeeper]

Good for them both.

[@neoclassic09]

No one else sounds or plays like Marty. You only need to hear one note and you know it's him. The only other person to capture that kind of thing is Jason Becker. I still can't believe we were lucky enough for them to play together.

[@tallahoramismo]

They got their style from Uli Jon Roth.

[@biswajitkhaklary5897]

When marty says in a interview only playing speed run just random notes without any melody is trash its true... only play run between in melody whenever needed thats what his song says always❤

[@aititepedro]

brilliant, beautiful, music !

[@soumendasgupta2272]

absolutely loved it

[@-Pyf-]

Always one of the most beautifully recognizable touches

[@MusicLover-im5nb]

The part at 5:05 is so good and emotional😬😍feels like solo of Miracle. Even though it a few seconds part but I love hearing it again and again. This song is so good and refreshing that I don't have enough words to define brilliance of Marty Friedman.

[@Longchar30]

Masterpiece. This guy is phenomenal!

[@colhad9505]

your instrumental album INTRODUCTION was so amazing...i am so happy that you decided to come back to pure guitar paradise.❤❤

[@user-dh2vx1xh8z]

素晴らしい曲ありがとうございます‼️👏😊

[@mohdfariqueishak3823]

Great melodies come first... Tq marty

[@papapaulrocks]

Im excited to hear the other tracks! My gosh!

[@alparotti]

Marty Friedman, what a fucking legend

[@sheepzoid]

Tocar a guitarra com o coração, foi o que senti, emocionou-me! Adorei!

[@Marctull66]

Magnificent... Marty knows so well so well how to compose moving pieces.. and this playing... Such amazing technique allied to subtlety, so much emotion coupled with power...I read ages ago that Marty loves Brian May and this didn't surprise me... I had stopped to expect a symphonic, softer album years ago... and this comes now... What a wonderful surprise.... Introduction and Scenes are two utterly beautiful albums that I've treasured since they were released... the piano around 5:00 sounds a bit too mechanical yet, could it be that this is a sequenced/programmed part ?

[@irmasil3]

Ah damn....That's again fuckin' amazing.

[@haazk666]

Marty's musicality has always been brutal!!!

[@gabfinol]

Amazing!!! Incredible experience to listen to. Thank you!!!
