Marty Friedman - Tornado of Souls (Solo)

Live at Bogota (Colombia) Fernando Sor Auditorium 12/04/2018

[@javiergarcia1149]

Now that I've seen that many people are interested in the rest of the band, I'll leave that information right after. Jordan Ziff (guitar) Kiyoshi (bass) Chargee! (Drums)

[@vondellsumralljr8986]

Javier Garcia Marty is do awsome I wish he’d do more stuff like this I mean rust in peace that whole megadeth I think now he was megadeth

[@lonnyeaton103]

No other guitarist for Megadeth executes “phrasing” to the caliber that Marty can. Shredders are a dime a dozen but, Legends understand phrasing.

[@drinkspecials]

Wow

[@user-ie1so5rn5k]

they are great!

[@cflowers69]

VERY well put man. The phrasing is what makes a guitar player memorable. Plus you have to have the shade and the light ya know? It can't be all "weedly, weedly". If this solo was all fast runs, then that last part wouldn't stand out as it does. This is a great solo, bar none.

[@turtiain]

First I was like ”wow, how come Marty looks so young?”

[@SantomPh]

Good diet (he went vegetarian for a while and stopped drinking) and being in a country where people tend to age well

[@rizqibayumantari6769]

The boy played the solo like it was a backing music.... It's ridiculously clean.

[@foreversuperficial271]

yes. and that's exactly why it's not that good. when i first heard this, the very first thing i've noticed is how flawless the other guy's soloing is then, when marty started playing, it's sloppy at times and even goes off-beat at times... but that's exactly why it's "better". it's just much much more soulful and it really sounds like a master on his own craft whereas the first one it really sounded like "a guitarist who memorised the solo"

[@sirspongadoodle]

@@foreversuperficial271 i disagree, being clean isnt something that robs the "soul" from your playing why would it??, nobody can play "flawless" its the same reason why sloppy double tracks sound bad but clean double tracks sound amazing.. the reason he sounds worse is purely his vibrato..

[@TheDude044]

@@foreversuperficial271 I wholeheartedly disagree with that. Playing it cleanly with Marty standing literally right next to you is about as impressive as it can get. And I’m sorry but Marty sounded horrible playing it, and he didn’t even play the famous stretched part in the right position.

[@Democracyphobia]

@@sirspongadoodle i think what he meant is to sound robotic . as a drummer i agree with this statement , there is a reason why no one will replace and sound like dave lombardo former slayer drummer because the guy simply doesnt use triggers so his drumming sounds very chaotic and agressive while every other drummer sounds like a robot especially the base drums .so you can say the same for other instruments , sometimes not to try to be perfect just makes the whole thing sound better .

[@Hellwyck]

@@DemocracyphobiaPaul Bostaph and Jon Dette replaced Lombardo pretty well, the difference is Bostaph is a "straight ahead" player and Lombardo is more "free willed/chaotic"... Dette being a cross of the two. And neither Dette nor Bostaph used triggers (which don't change how a drum is hit, more how it sounds). Oh and a drummer, you should know its spelt BASS.

[@edima]

@@sahedthebutler8685 your actually wrong on that one. Mustaine has gone on record saying he wanted marty back. It's Marty who's too stubborn to return to megadeth. I believe he said something along the lines of him not wanting to do the same thing twice.

It’s such a melodic solo. Marty plays music. It’s not just fast notes.

[@ThePerkins100]

At a guitar clinic in Australia, when asked about the Tornado of Souls solo, Marty said " I think people like it because its a long guitar solo". He's so humble, Theres lots of great guitar Solos out there, but nothing comes close to Tornado of Souls....

[@HollyShit38]

[@ishaanawasthi416]

[@holliswilliams8426]

Average solo for me.

[@rickjason215]

@@holliswilliams8426 Probably below average for you. This really isn’t my music. Too loud and repetitive. For some reason, I always liked Marty. I was intrigued in how he used his right hand. Just not normal. Most of these rock guys suck. They play the same stuff night after night. Watch Holdsworth. I don’t think he ever plays the same solo twice.

[@Danfrombackhome]

[@benevans8250]

Tone is in the fingers.

[@jameswoods4406]

Marty knows how to choke the notes that others can`t figure out.

[@Polentaccio]

Exactly , the guy plays it almost cleaner than Marty does but Marty has those bends, the feel, and his timing where he hangs the notes and plays sometimes slightly behind the beat. He's a master.

[@churi24]

Marty's vibrato is like a signature. He plays relaxed, and feeling the music. He extend the notes and make a slightly vibrato at the end of the bends. I think he has one of the best vibratos ever.

[@johnnybongshow5257]

jordan on 7 string marty on 6 string jordan does a incredible job

[@swaggypanda1808]

[@H.E.M.]

He sounds cleaner than Marty that’s for sure

[@Incog2k6]

That may actually be a fact. I myself have learned the solo up to that point (and a few more bars), and then kinda... stopped lmao. Why? Because of the "WTF?" part at the end, where Marty just goes crazy. I tried learning it by ear, and with tabs, and... yeah. Maybe it's the same for Jordan Ziff, the guitarist. It's definitely the same for the majority of guitarists who attempt to learn that solo :P.

[@barath4545]

Yeah and to think of just how exceptionally good Dave himself was/is at solo work himself, then imagine what demands he would have of a solo guitarist in his own band? I think most really good guitarists would just be flat out intimidated into playing less than they could.

[@dantesapprentice4581]

@@barath4545 If I remember properly, one of Dave's requirements for a lead guitar player in Megadeth is that the player HAS to be better than him.

[@dustinthewind2557]

To anyone saying that Jordan played it better just look at how much fun Marty is having. He's clearly not in a competition on "who can play my solo better" he's having the time of his life. Jordan did an amazing job as well but you can tell he was focused in try not to mess anything up. Great job to the both of them!
