Melodic Control - Pt 2 -Think-Relative Minor-Scales

Full video: • Marty Friedman Melodic...
Melodic Control - Minor Keys
Marty Friedman shows you his skillz.

[@Byakku97]

god this guy plays just so gently... just ten out of ten... just wow

[@saikatchowdhury7376]

He's not a guy! He's the god himself

[@shorthealthfacts3699]

he is not just a guy, he is Marty Friedman!

[@mewrth]

The fact he uses pre-bends makes him a guitarist excelling at a whole other realm of how to make a guitar sound

[@MsDavo123]

bro excellent point loved your observation only other guitarist i can think of who does loads of pre bends is guthrie Govan

[@jf160297]

I noticed he doesn't use his pinky very often. That's because the world is not ready for his fourth finger. The universe would simply implode.

[@angusorvid8840]

Neither does John McLaughlin, so he's in good company. Di Meola uses his pinky a lot and so do I. I like stretching octaves. All players evolve differently but evolve we must.

[@jyejye1077]

He uses it when he plays fast. When he plays melodically using a lot of vibrato (most of the time) he uses his main 3 fingers

[@fjosip1]

I like how sitar-y his guitar sounds

[@slitherlock]

at 6:11 marty is so lost in where the solo took him that he grabs an imaginary trem arm....one of my favorite lead players, no doubt

[@jojo5544]

That’s not what he was doing. He was muting lower strings with his palm

[@angusorvid8840]

I always thought of relative minor and major scales as mirror images. They add a nice contrast, pizzaz, flavor. It's a kind of ying and yang thing.

[@sabotageret6562]

Yes Friedman is a master of such balance

[@QuistJam]

Good old Marty, thanks for sharing this..

[@TheInundation]

Good old Quist! lol

[@DethByMyIbanezAxe]

4:16 " so that's what im gonna do, and youre gonna check it out." haha

[@yamanmaharjan9676]

no other videos gave me this much of insight

[@enzoconstantinoromo364]

00:40 Bro, the first time i see him smile in this instructional videos haha, you are fucking amazing mr friedman

[@manooko]

oh man! this vid brought so many good memories to me... i remember watching this video 10 years ago... GREAT! Dude, Marty's playing is awesome. NO ONE can deny he's got his own style and vocabulary, a real achievement in modern popular music. From the strictly theoretical point of view, he's REALLY limited: he barely uses dominant seventh chords or really basic relative minor arpeggios... but man HE KNOWS HOW to use that! GREAT FEEL, GREAT SOLOS.

[@johnkelly3335]

man i got the same guitar i put 59' vintage bluse pickups shield all the cavity spots and have not wired it up yet, i play with light top heavy bottom type gauge strings. man i hope it sounds as good as this shit here.

[@Mcrapansel]

tibet/angel song progression his best song^^

[@MrCyber275]

I ask myself what the hell does Marty has in his head.. how can he do those melodic chords?

[@dimeghost243]

Check out part 1, you'll find a mind blowing answer

[@shekharsharma1490]

Amazing... The good thing is I mean hearing Marty playing blues and a Hard Rock solo for the first time !!!!!

[@serser1996529]

Kirk is surely overated, at least as a metal guitarist. He has only few good solos, like from fade to back, creeping death or welcome home (sanitarium). Beside them, he's pretty weak. But I have to admit, he's not that bad, when it comes to load and reload solos. They are in a completely different style, but are cool. He still can't be compared to such guitarists as Marty Friedman, Chris Poland, Dimebag Darrel, Dave Mustaine or Lee Altus. Sorry, that's just a fact.

[@kendrakrust1244]

I completely agree with you here, and that's why if I had to choose because Megadeth and Metallica with a gun pointed at my head, I'll go for the former. However, I do acknowledge the importance of both bands in their overall contribution to music.

[@manooko]

OH i forgot. this vid was made just after the "Countdown to Extinction" 1992 (?) record by Megadeth, and just after-in the meanwhile the recording of Marty's second solo album, Scenes. (which is absolutely great!)

[@scartissue121]

I love Marty, hes just so original.

[@1madaboutguitar]

Yer Marty's lessons are certainly more intuitive than Yngwies lol. Testiment to the fact that he hasn't got a big ego and just wants to help people learn,instead of show off. And just like you said , he has helped me also so much with the way he explains things

[@partynaked11]

this is the kind of stuff that sepperates him from lil kirk, marty goes all over the place on the fretboard, kirk does pantatonic runs and jus picks one section of the fretboard and uses it to death!!! some dont realise how much better he is then kirk.

[@cybertrancer]

the way you do things you do

[@BozhiPan]

that was so funny when he kept saying "control"~~~

[@Szymek56]

really cool style of soloing good teacher ! found new favourite guitarist

[@steel3454]

The solo he plays around 5:00 is from his song Angel

[@wrigleyx]

clever guitar player, big knowledge

[@wadesharp11]

What a beast! Number 1 style, just amazing

[@brettsullivan8217]

Well said. Good lord. One of the best.

[@MrGuitarandvocals]

Good luck man! Work hard and before you know it you will be an awesome lead player!

[@ami2evil]

Control! Control! Gotta Have Control!

[@luthiervandros]

That pick hand position is freakish, but yields great attack.

[@poisonfortheweak]

Become an autodidact like 90% of guitar players, I imagine... I learned guitar just screwing around with tabs and trying to play them to the song. I had no formal training but scales and stuff, but once you get used to playing solos from songs, you realize on your own like how the scales run and your ear gets to the point where you can just tell the right notes, regardless. I've been playing nearly 20 years (with some breaks in the years). Screw $100/hr lessons! Marty even said he makes it up!

[@snozbarry]

Marty Fried--Man...get it? I heart Mary Friedman.

[@qwertyuiopasdfghjkl9879]

why does youtube always recomend me 2000's videos

[@MrGuitarandvocals]

Funny thing is - I only use theory when I get stuck creating a solo. When you create a chord progression - study the notes in the chords and pick what scale applies to those notes and come up with phrases- licks. Put it together and there you go. It takes time and practice. I don't think too much when I solo. I have pattterns memorized and I just know where I have to go. It took hrs of practice and fucking around. I created most of my solos just by jamming with friends and not using much theory,

[@PATRIOTxx3]

I want his hair lmao

[@megaboxxx]

he is the best!! awesome

[@PsyMongazoid]

This is really useful stuff. Wow.

[@myyyth]

@Purplino Generally, people would say the proper term is C#m, as it is just the more common way to say it. But remember, the notes Db and C# are enharmonic, so they are the same chord.

[@SykoSapian]

Thats the reason he plays like that, so when he picks, he doesnt hit any other strings, it also gives him a different attack..

[@Hamiltone7]

He is freakin' awesome. He knows not only his instrument so well but his music too. What's all this garbage about him being stoned? WGAF. Plus that's just people projecting their stupid rock n roll fantasties on him. He looks pretty lucid to me, and is explaining everything well. That's not what a typical stoner does, and certainly Marty isn't typical.

[@steve7onfire]

I've learnt so much from this guy 🎼🎸

[@supafly11]

listen to dragon's kiss or rust in peace you guys. fucking phenomenal work from marty.

[@MaggaraMarine]

@BlizzardRREVH Yes they are almost the same. With fretted and keyboard instruments they are exactly the same but with violin they are a bit different. Violinists play Db a bit lower than C# (or maybe it was vice versa, I don't remember). But if we have an E major scale, it has C# and not Db so it should be C#.

[@maximiliandyhr9952]

ha ha kirk marty what a nice dude down to earth

[@MP1VHT]

Good luck finding the KE-1, which was Marty's signature Kelly.

[@angelm151]

im 15 right now and i know if i get a couple more decades of experience of guitar playing, maybe just, maybe ill be 1/10th as good as marty and i'm alright that :'D

[@nirangasithara]

How did you do brother 🙂🙂

[@akhimakhi93]

lol this is harmonic minor...sounds kickass

[@Takunrsx]

@wongsmokesbong the name of the video its "melodic control"

[@mrlouisl781]

Amazing player, great teacher.

[@PATRIOTxx3]

That awkward moment when all the comments are paragraphs lol

[@MrGuitarandvocals]

My advice is this - Buy a chord book that has thousands of chords. I bought a chord book that has over 22,000 chords. I highlighted all of the chords that I liked and put them in a chord diagram book. I named all of the notes that make up the chords to understand them better. Chords are your rhythm. Scales and modes are your licks and solos. Learn your scales and modes - arpeggioes and technique. Plent yof great videos on here and free websites. I studied theory extensively.

[@Ch1psahoy]

Alright, Kirk Hammet is fast, and has a relatively clean technique. But that's all he's got going for him. Marty is fast, has great technique, and he's also extremely musical/melodic

[@ML120374]

He is so good..awesome.

[@carl13220]

@XxBFMV24xX Thats because Marty uses blues pentatonic scales here : Slash uses a lot those scales.

[@acadianalien]

Man is he ever! lol

[@codebabe]

@partynaked11 Throughout the And Justice For All album exotic scales are used. Not as extensively as Marty, but Kirk does use them. The beginning of the solo in One is. As well, parts of Cyanide are exotic.

[@sinfonian39]

Yep...it's pretty cool. It's actually a D harmonic minor scale built on the 5th degree, A.

[@AlexHartery]

for scales you still need to know what is sharp or flat. he knows the fretboard so he can almost do this without thinking. Just giving people some help.

[@Shreddergilbert]

Paul gilbert , Steve vai , Joe satriani , Guthrie govan , Jason becker , Yngwie malmsteen , Shawn lane.. Kirk doesnt come anywhere near them and none of them are "Pointless shredders" They write music thats just beyond anything in the world

[@dneuens]

Kirk? So young and sooooo much to learn.

[@bukofezra]

awesome fuck'n guitarist.

[@Andoni666]

marty isnt really fast but he is awesome, he has sayed it himself that he never really picks fast

[@PATRIOTxx3]

lol I love Slayer but they could be way more awesome if the solos matched

[@AaronBennettGuitar]

Control guys....Control....

[@user-vz7hv8zi9j]

мне вот все таки интересно, кто его учил так медиатор держать?

[@freaknbigpanda]

that's because he doesn't know a lot of theory. He just has a damn good ear.

[@RamsesCairoC]

Pero que cosa mas bella!

[@Purplino]

Just one mistake when he talks about the relative minor chord to E...it's C#m and not Dbm as he says!

[@trolleta11]

Enzo Asprino Dbm = C#m

[@yessir6427]

lmao

[@gbZHe8]

thank u very much man! very good ideas u gave me, i ll follow ur advise

[@lamontarnold1612]

Awesome

[@haroldbelfast]

@Purplino C#m and Dbm are the exact same thing, it just depends on the context.

[@chenhen72]

perfect to learning

[@xXRogueFloppersXx]

That's why I wear condoms on my fingers when I play.

[@FlyinVJs30RR]

this is valuable lesson

[@MrGuitarandvocals]

good luck - you will do well

[@sk1972]

couldn't have said it better myself besides, much like everything else in this world the things we are taught largely stem from EGO and that includes ,very much includes SOME guitar teachers. How many times have I heard the story of the guy who kicked himself in the teeth for learning music theory at least in a way that instilled FEAR in him? It's fun not knowing what your going to play next or how exactlty your going to get to where you need to be timing wise. Improvising rules!!!!!

[@TATOOMAN123]

man that is cool!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DethByMyIbanezAxe]

@topraman517 after, i think. im pretty sure before he joined, he played carvin guitars.

[@dvpkid]

@XxBFMV24xX you here pentatonic scales not slash

[@holsdpuffnstuff]

wow... ive always had guitarist with far more yrs under their belt tell me to put my solos in Key.. but i do waht this dude does.. i fallow my chords and then ill change it up with a solo in key.. but its just my own style.. makes me feel a bit better i want to be a rebel..

[@RamsesCairoC]

Maestro!!

[@aryinc]

just learn some chord bit scales not too much theori that makes your head explodes martys explains it good just put some mind to what you like at times you dont need any theori at al,at times you probably dont even know if your doing a maj or a min7 or a extended 3 fault tone etc.make up a rythem and jam over it i thinks that the best.

[@rhcp4565]

so inpiring

[@intrsoul]

@ruffles272 Kahler fixed bridge with fine tuners.

[@elGzuuu]

@dvpkid ok slash used pentatonic scales too

[@elGzuuu]

i hear some of slash in this video

[@123MetallicA1234]

Look up cacophony, thats fast! (marty&jason)

[@Trahira517]

Ho-lee shit. Marty Friedman sounds like Dr. Katz...no lie But he is still the most awesome guitar player ever

[@SufferDYT]

looks like a floyd with the bar disconnected to me

[@Badomen_5150]

@topraman517 during he was in megadeth

[@cbhustle8898]

3:00

[@codebabe]

@partynaked11 thats actually not true.lol kirk is great with exotic scales. he's just not as amazing as marty. what really makes marty great is he's he's less repetative(that part of what you said was true) and marty is far more impressive with bending and vibrato.

[@denistaaffe7609]

very strange picking hand position

[@MaggaraMarine]

People are talking about Kirk Hammett. Why do you all compare guitarists. They are both good. I saw another video where people compared Marty to EVH. All the guitarists in well known bands are good and have their own styles so stop comparing them. It's everybody's own opinion who the best is.

[@arhelausblack7922]

I agree with you, Kirk and Marty are both amazing in their own way. But the biggest Metal band in history is Black Sabbath...

[@ClaireBear8686]

Hi i'm marty friedman, and this is my instructional guide on how to make love to a guitar.

[@partynaked11]

@codebabe - well name other solos besides eye of the beholder and where ever i may roam that he uses an exotic scale in. those are th only two. every other solo he uses th same scale. Please tell me cause im damn curious!!!!

[@Uploader1992]

Broder wongsmokesbong How is the name of that DVD?...

[@xUnrealTx]

ok how the fuk am I suppose to have good phrasing while trying to find the right chord tones at the same time.

[@vOuijaa]

@partynaked11 Hes basically jesus compared to Kirk.

[@RiffsterMoharram]

Someone tell me what amazing pickups he uses? ;D

[@mc2alfawolf]

kirk actually does move alot over the fretboard, ofcourse not as much much as marty friedman and marty is more creative IMO, but what you say about kirk is not true
