	Marty Friedman @ London Underworld
		Friedman’s music is totally approachable and instantly engaging, which makes him a people’s guitarist, although he has always been a guitarist’s guitarist too, ranking in the highest echelons of his craft and to this day continuing to inspire young players all over the world.
		But Friedman is a kind of musician who can combine being a top grade pro with making instrumental guitar music as accessible as it possibly can be, his melodies clear-cut and immediately appealing, and his approach to playing free, open and spontaneous.
		Talking to the audience, Friedman said that the band was recording a night before in Holland, and that he wished they recorded in London instead, maybe because the London crowd was hugely receptive, now and then breaking into spontaneous chants of his name between the songs.

	Marty Friedman (guitarist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Marty is a self-taught guitarist, famous for his natural improvisation abilities and for pioneering the fusion of exotic Eastern musical scales with Western musical styles such as neo-classical, thrash metal and later on into rock, pop, jazz, metal and anything in between.
		Marty is a big fan of The Ramones, KISS (during its early years) and Frank Marino.

	Marty Friedman - Dragon's Kiss
		Marty met Jason Becker before any contracts were signed and was so impressed by the then sixteen year old's guitar playing that he asked Jason to join him in a band which was later called Cacophony.
		Marty never tended to use effects such as delay, and the confusion is purely created through unbelievable harmonising of guitars.
		I feel that Marty is a genius like no other guitarist in the respects that he is capable of doing such amazing harmonies, but even Marty only recorded a few such sections, (all in the 1987 to 1988 albums), due to the obvious level of commitment and difficulty in getting it to sound right.

	Marty Friedman
		Friedman was born in 1962 and grew up in the Baltimore area; he began playing guitar at age 15 in a band called Deuce, shortly before his family moved to Hawaii.
		Friedman's solo debut, Dragon's Kiss, was released on Shrapnel in 1988, and it was stylistically similar to his Cacophony material.
		Friedman joined Megadeth in late 1990, becoming their third lead guitarist in four albums; however, he managed to bring some stability to the position, remaining with the band for ten years.

	Chris Ruel's Neoclassical Music Reviews: Marty Friedman
		Marty Friedman is one of the original pioneers of the neoclassical genre.
		Friedman makes another departure on this album, this time from heavy-texture based tones to more clean toned accompaniment, as well as a combination of clean toned guitar work and a more refined style of saturated tones.
		Friedman this time sets his sights on a more flavor of progressive rock that integrates many of the other elements from his other experimental excursions.

	Metal Church: Megadeth (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A true headbanger's delight, the album gives no indication that Mustaine, guitarist Marty Friedman, bassist David Ellefson and drummer Nick Menza are ready to abandon their patented speed-riffing attack in favor of a more alternative, grunge, punk, pop or, heaven forbid, electronica approach.
		MARTY FRIEDMAN: What's important is not so much how this album fits into the grand scheme of Megadeth, but how it fits into the grand scheme of rock music and music for young people in general.
		FRIEDMAN: My main reason for even having a primary setup was because I knew we were going to have to play this stuff live, and I'm definitely not into dealing with two refrigerators worth of gear every night on tour.

	Chris Ruel's Neoclassical Music Reviews: Jason Becker
		He distinguished himself as a virtuoso guitarist who was not only able to pull of leading edge guitar technique, but was able to do it almost as second nature as he imparted clearly articulated musical vision and feeling to his playing.
		Marty Friedman's appearance on the double CD, "The Brightest Star of All", featuring the vocals of Melle Vasquez, is a touching tribute to his old friend and collaborator that sets the record straight about how he feels about Becker's talents.
		Friedman's flawless guitar work is, as usual, awesome in articulating different tones that are carefully matched to the content of the segments to achieve maximum emotional effect.

	True Obsessions Review \| Marty Friedman \| Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
		Marty Friedman uses a variety of guitar tones on almost all his albums, heavy distortion to a soothing, clean sound emits in his pieces and this variety of tone is really shown on this album.
		However these pieces don't seem to reach out to the genres appropriately and are lacking somewhat in the 'Marty' feel to his music which is a turn-off to many listeners of 'True Obsessions'.
		True Obsessions is the only Marty Friedman album to feature lyrics (except for the Japanese lyrics on his recently released album "Loudspeaker").

	No Life 'til Metal - CD Gallery - Marty Friedman
		Marty Friedman unleashes one heavy album of guitar-shred with the same speed metal mentality as he had with his Becker/Friedman band.
		It was shortly after the release of this disc that Friedman was recruited to join Megadeth's ranks.
		Marty still remains one of the few instru-metal shred guitarists that can hold my interest for an entire disc.

	Home Recording dot com BBS - (marty friedman) hanger 18 solo
		I feel he is a very underated guitarist and without him megadeth wouldnt have been the same not to take anything away from chris poland but man marty rips big time.
		i dont know if dave and marty switched solos on this one or not, i dont think so though it sounds to much like marty playing to me all the way through, i believe dave was mainly a rythm player after he gott marty.
		Marty's style is more melodic and classically oriented with a huge dose of sweep picking.

	Dan Martin See - The Official Website
		Marty played a few Megadeth songs including 'She-Wolf' and 'Hangar 18', plus some of his new solo materials, which are also killer-rock songs, but are softer compared to Megadeth.
		Marty left Megadeth after promoting 'Risk', he said he wanted to change musical directions aside from sticking to Heavy Metal.
		Marty's guitar clinic was supposed to start at 4:30pm, but then it started one hour earlier because the Cafe is already over-crowded.

	Mindview interviews Marty Friedman (Site not responding. Last check: )
		After a while it suprised the metal scene that Marty Friedman was announced to be the new guitarist of Megadeth by Dave Mustaine.
		Marty deviated a little from the metal and walked along the path of the new-age, something that couldn't really please the die-hard metal freaks.
		Marty, 'True Obsessions' is your forth solo album but to me it's the first time that you are back at the level of 'Dragons Kiss'.

	The Modern Guitarist - The 80s
		Two of the instrumentals are co-written by Marty Friedman, who contributes raucous solo passages to the Cacophony-like 'Temple of the Absurd' and 'Eleven Blue Egyptians.
		Marty Friedman's first solo LP was a notable release, in the vein of Cacophony's Speed Metal Symphony.
		One of the best things about this album is the way Friedman skilfully structures his pieces in the manner of vocal songs, using bridge, verse and chorus; keeping the music in a constant state of transition whilst still referring back to his original ideas and themes.
