    Marty Friedman’s picking style is so unique. Sounds like he’s sweeping when he’s up picking arpeggios. Respect to pulling this cover off so cleanly.

    Great breakdown. I covered this song many times live, works everytime in the third set. Never bothered to sit down and actually learn the solo. I guess you could say I faked it. I copped the intro and just winged the rest. Here's the thing...no one ever called me on it...not once. Those are choice licks. I learned something. Thanks. :)

      Parminder Benipal, maybe because he isn’t playing it with the same feel that Marty does.
      Getting that feel is difficult for some guitarists.
      Just watch Chris Zoupa’s tutorial on it & you will HEAR the difference.
      Chris plays it more like Marty did.

    • @vinceg1094
      @vinceg1094 5 років тому +1

      It's really good, he is a good teacher, but the "hate" might be because he is playing it incorrectly. It's a reasonable facsimile, but not quite what Marty played/wrote. I agree no need for any bad comments, but I can see dislikes.

    Man I have been trying to learn this solo for 2 years straight. No joke I spent 2 whole years straight up practicing this solo over and over again. My father memorized the starting lick because I played it so much. And to this day I never got it up to speed. Most I could manage was 100 and past that was straight up gibberish. I give up.

    Okay so I was doing pretty well until the "unison bend" at 2:11
    I can't get a clear sound off the b, seems my finger on the g is cutting off the sound because I can't curve it enough to get two clean notes let alone achieve the bend at the same time
    Any tips/exercises anyone knows of to help with this?
    Edit: Kinda getting it, bend included... you gotta be super precise, guess it'll just be muscle memory over time
    If anyone is reading this with the same problem, essentially what I did was I sat up straighter, and then placed my finger on the b string note first, got it clean then added the g note on top of that as routinely as possible, found this really small sweet spot where the notes both ring out even with the bend applied
    I think it was a little misleading for me as you always get told to keep you wrist low to extend you reach across the fretboard, but in this instance to have both the form for note clarity & the strength to perform the bend accurately I found bringing my wrist up and thumb slipping over the top of the board to provide a better result, kinda hard to transition to, hence thoughts about about muscle memory
    Now I just need to practice as it's very easy for this position to slip when applying the bend and then you don't get clear notes & also to make the muscle memory to easily jump the position from this first little movement
    Good luck!

Its just unreal how many amazing songs they have....and they're still going strong!
