- Marty Friedman delves into his long history with Jackson and what he was looking for with his new signature MF-1 models. He also runs through some of the key features on his signature models and explains why they were important to him and also gives fans an exclusive look and listen to several riffs and tracks from his album, “Wall of Sound.”
“When you think metal, it’s Jackson,” he says in this clip. “It hasn’t changed since I was a teenager. That’s what led me back to them but what was important for me, not just that I'm playing metal, but they had to come up with a guitar … if I’m going to endorse a guitar, it can’t be just a metal guitar. It’s got to be able to cover a lot of other things.
“I mean, I know they’ve got the metal down. That’s not even a question, but can they also hang when I’m doing these quiet, sensitive, really moody sweet melodies type of songs? That’s a very important part of my playing and my music. That was the big mountain to climb and they climbed it with me. It was a long journey but they rocked it hard.”

About Jackson:
Jackson began back in the late 1970s, when heavy music experienced a flamboyant and virtuosic resurgence in popularity and a small Southern California guitar repair shop became the epicenter of a new level of shred-approved excellence. Ever since then, Jackson guitars have been universally lauded as the metal guitars; the shred machines-highly original high-performance instruments of distinctive style and formidable substance. From metal’s chart-topping peaks to its darkest recesses, for discerning guitarists all over the globe, Jackson is the only way to go.

Everything in the world gets old, everything fades... except Marty's hair. His hair is in a state of permanent awesomeness
well, that's too bad, mate. coz if marty friedman was my father I would proudly parade him all around my school and tell everyone that he is a guitar legend
Not just his hair ;-)
@Ewolf5150 Well that's just your opinion ofc.
@Ewolf5150 so you are not a metal fan
But what happened with his left eye?
The Jackson Kelly will always be the Marty guitar :)
Cosmetically yes, but I’ve played both and the Kelly quite honestly does not sound or play as well.
It’s so crazy when I was going to Marty’s band practices on Oahu in Hawaii back in 1985 I owned a Randy Rhoads student Jackson, when Marty was playing a Charvel explorer with cobwebs on it. I was the guy that told Marty as he explains it in his interview that Jackson was the next level and I was the guy that had the catalogs because I was obsessed with Randy Rhoads..
Ran into Marty in NYC and we talk about the days we lived on Hawaii.. great times!
He must have helped them sell sooooo many kellys in the 90s.
Chark Varor I almost bought a Kelly because of him. Lol.
He singlehandedly helped sell me 6, 4 of which I still have
Worked on me!
I like to think that he and James really popularized the Explorer type body.
I bought a Kelly because of him in 97. i still have it too.
Marty still has one of the most distinctive voices in electric guitar history... Legend
Marty is the reason why I started playing Jackson guitars.
him and randy rhoads for me
He is the reason i still continue to play, and learn japanese. Mustaine, and hetfeild got me into playing guitar, but Friedman and Petrucci keep me going and furthering my skills.
For me, it was the megadeth line up of the 90s.
me too.
@@DhaniC369George Floyd is the Reason why I like donkey Kong
Too bad we won't be seeing a signature Kelly from Marty Friedman...still though, it's great to see him back with Jackson!
Steven agreed I'd love to see a signature reissue
I contacted Jackson and asked about that. I got an email from some dude named Jeff from Fender (who obviously owns Jackson now), he said there's no plans for a reissue but he'd make the suggestion to the Jackson team. So you never know...!
VirtualLife If I remember rightly, Charvel is also owned by Fender and Kramer is owned by Gibson, not sure about the others tho.
Steven I've seen him use a Kelly in his recent performances. It might still happen soon.
DenHond his red one?
Friedman is one of the only shredder types who also seems to understand note targeting and musical phrasing. I'm digging the pointy headstock on the LP body too. Cool guitar for a great dude.
Paul Gilbert and Bucket also
randy rhoads?
The great thing is, Marty Friedman didnt consider himself as a shredder. He said this in many interviews and he said it live where im watching him during the tour here with his side japanese band (DPS) and Polyphia. Really a great performer and a great person. All my life im just a strummer and a chorder, right after the show i picked up the guitar and started all over again. This guy is my inspiration and the best guitarist in the world for me. I know its impossible for me to do his styles, songs and playing but its just his great and i love his music
vinnie moore is very musical sounding too, and tony mc-calpine.
That first Jackson guitar that he got was a Kelly with a Kahler tremolo, 2 pickups and a black/white tigerstripe finish. Some time before/after he joined Megadeth, it was refinished in gloss black, and the Kahler trem was replaced with a Kahler fixed bridge (looks more or less identical to the trem version, but without the holes for the trem-bar) , and the neck pickup cavity was filled, thus only leaving the bridge pickup. It had 22 Frets and a rosewood fretboard, and can be seen in his "Melodic Control" instructional video (it's on youtube also) . The guitar he did all the leads with, on the RIP album was another Jackson, which had 24 frets and an Ebony fretboard, this guitar was his #1 live guitar, hence it was numbered #1, whilst his 1st Jackson guitar was numbered/labeled #2 .
Marty is one of my all time favorite players.
@@johnnysag Here you go: mayzan.com/gallery/guitars/Jcs_Kelly_%232_Cacophony/KellyCacophony(L)00.JPG
It's now owned by Marty's webmaster after Marty auctioned it off to donate the money to Jason Becker. The same webmaster also owns the other one (the one with 24 frets, the first endorsement Kelly he got from Jackson) as well.
This is what it looked like when he first got it : mayzan.com/gallery/guitars/Jcs_Kelly_%232_Cacophony/KellyCacophony(L)13.JPG

Hope that helps!
@@johnnysag Don't mention it ;-)
I bet he could get tone from a lemon.
Robert Paterson ...sweet tone from a lemon...
If life gives Marty lemons, he makes tone!
one of the best Guitarist's out there!
The Dude Shreds one note is enough to know its him playing. He is awesome.
Euclides Netto I agree, his style is so recognizable. I still wonder how he can pull off those vibratos. Everytime I attempt to imitate them, my left hand's wrist is on the verge of developing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. I have to utilize a whammy bar to nail his vibrato :-/.
Way way way better than Kirk Hammett
Never really liked the LP style guitars as much as Soloists or Kellys but man did they do a good job with the design of this one. Looks fantastic, very bold and unique. I would love to see an X series Reissue of his KE1 though. Just a string though, single H neck through Kelly. I think that would sell extremely well too, high demand for that one without a doubt.
The demand for his original KE1s are extremely high and those things are only going up in value. Jackson would hugely benefit from doing a limited run of KE1 X series I reckon. I know Marty probably doesn't care to do a KE1 signature again but it's more so a throw back more than anything else. I do love this new MF1 though, best looking LP out there!
Single HB, string thru, Kelly? F**k in A! where do I get one?
I concur. He's still playing a Kelly, although it's got 2 pu's and a TOM bridge and stop tailpiece, so it's not unlikely that we'll see a signature Kelly in the future.
I'd definitely pay for a Kelly that looks like his original though. I also think Kahler makes OEM bridges, but I'd settle for a string-thru with a TOM bridge if the Kahlers are too expensive for an X-series guitar.
Good luck in finding one. Jackson KE1T is so much sought after. Even if it appeared in eBay it's very expensive.
It sounds great but looks like the guitar controller from Guitar Hero.
He could play a triangle and it would still sound like melodic metal genius!
didnt know he was back with Jackson......cool. Love Jackson!
I'm glad to see Marty come back to use Jackson signature guitar again.
I can’t tell you how many amazing guitarists I’ve met play Jackson because of Marty Friedman alone :) crazy to think a legend such as him finally got a signature pickup set 20 years later
2:55 This has Rust in Peace era written ALL OVER IT
Take no prisoners part 2 😂😄
Yes! Definitely reminded me of the solo in “Take No Prisoners” or the fills during the verses of “Hangar 18”!
Now that's what I call a signature guitar for an artist that really really deserves it. Unique and bold. Really love his sound since he started playing this one.
even though I'm not into Paulas at all, this LP by Jackson is one of the most beautiful axes I've ever seen! Love the Jacksons..I've owned a Rhoads, a Kelly and a Warrior! Marty's my all time fave Player! He's far beyond amazing.. Greetz from Germany 🤘🏼
Purple Cracked version is better
His playing never ceases to amaze me. It's so cool to see him evolve as a musician and person. His evolution of guitars isn't bad either.
I played that model at NAMM and I can easily say that it is incredible. It just plays extremely well. It's just feels right and is a beautiful instrument!
Marty will always be my favorite guitar player.
👌
I can never get used to his unique and beautiful picking style
This might be the first Les Paul body-style guitar that actually screams metal. Most of the time, when I see that iconic guitar shape on stage, I'm thinking nothing more intense than 70-80's rock. Nothing wrong with that mind you, but I can't picture Marty ripping through "Amagi Goe" on a cherry sunburst Les Paul. Credit to Jackson for taking the single cut to the next level and having the guts to make the proper headstock for it.
One of the most beautiful guitars i have ever seen.
9:46 awesome phrases in there
I don't know what this guy have but I love him as a guitarrist, I'm really a fanboy of him
He is right about the action on that guitar, super clean sound with no fret buzz.
i love Jackson and marty!!!!!!
I love everything about this!
I still want to see him at least do a one-off show with Megadeth, maybe like Dave did with Metallica in the 30th anniversary.
+ Gabriel Martins I like Chris Brodrick also ( like them both ) and somehow I thought he would end up with Megadeth till the end but that did not happen. Marty ofcoure is Marty and if Poland could not come back to the band , he would be the guy that would be the one to be there for the duration . very nice guy who can afford to be a ' full of himself asshole ' but he's not .
So glad I've just ordered my Jackson Monarkh Pro to go with my DK2Q. Really impressed with how jackson have now managed to Dial in such good tones and allow everything from jazzy, blues, rock and metal tones. The necks are really the fastest I've played personally. Especially with a set of elixirs on!
The guitar is so sick. Pickups sound amazing too
Best guitarist for megadeth his solos were memorable
Welcome back home, Marty, we missed you)
Awesome video of Marty!!!
i loved him with his Kelly....
I think KE-1 will be your guitar for ever !
your way of playing style is impressive. n u r d one of my favourite artist which I known.
Love Marty, might have to get this new guitar!
He’s so damn awesome !!
his right hand Technic is so strange but powerful!
Niiice guitar,black with white trim has been my favorite for a long time now, as well as a flame top!
Jacksons are the holy grail,I own a strat an LP,2 jacksons and none of them add up to my jacksons,they are smooth and fast the nobs are tight and right where I need them. All the hardware is nice and solid and the picks on jacksons always scream
This is such a metal guitar! *Proceeds to play blues licks*
nice!!! I love my jackson guitar!!! :D
8:56 The first time I've heard Marty swear!
Marty is the great gitarist.
The specs of this guitar as a classic Gibson Les Paul with active pickups.
What a beautiful axe !!!
I always found his picking technic weird but my god what a sound !
Always loved his playing, amazing guitar player! The pick hand has always annoyed me yet fascinated me.
Everyone has their way, no doubt. There are no rules on how we function on guitar and he just burns.
Marty is one of a kind :)
cannot wait..
I’m begging you guys to bring back the Marty signature Kelly
Beautiful guitar. Great video too! Nice to hear Marty's thoughts on why he chose that shape and the development of the final design. He said he still loves the Kelly and used it on the record. He'll probably use it on tour too. Relax people. Btw, the album samples sound so fucking great. Beyond hyped for this album.
O W he's recently played with a Kelly on tour! There's a video of him from it too long ago playing the Tornado of Souls solo on a Kelly.
I have one of these totally awesome guitar and I call it a shred Paul
Marty is a great salesman and an even better guitarist. I bet Jackson sold the shit out of these guitars after this video came out. If I wasn't a guitar builder I'd buy one myself.
Soooooo goood... great guitar
I wish there would be a re-issue of the Marty Friedman Signature model of the Kelly in the Pro Series.
Excelent! 👌✌🏻
Impressive playing and some nice melodic stuff. Wondering if the signature will come with passive pickups?
My definite guitar hero
very very nice guitar!!!! i'll buy the X serie
The new song 'Self Pollution' is really good!
i always thot i had to make long stretches to hit the notes i like the sound of in between but i realized i can play with 2 fingers and hit this cool Egyptian sounding type stuff. then add a pinky every now and then. hes my absolute favorite. i like his older stuff tho. especially R.I.P. and definitely ive grown out of the super low action. never realized its actually easier for me to sweep and play better in general with the strings higher. and it sounds way better. god i want that USA jackson. why am i here typing this
The first ever EMG to have good sounding clean tone
Best metal guitars -- Period!
There is only ONE THING missing that would make this guitar absolute PERFECTION...
Side Rectangular Position Marker Inlays (like the Mick Thompson model) or Luminlays.
my no#1 guitar hero!! Btw, the new album is great, out of this fucking world! And i'm glad i use jackson guitars too, not the most expensive top of the line ones. Would hopefully get there one day!
now i get why he picks oddly. he doesnt really palm mute. he lets the string ring to get more clarity , he mutes the strings when he does his iconic orgasmic vibratos then flicks with his fingers
Exelente guitarrista 😎😎😎
💚God of Music🤘🏻God of Guitar⭐
ure the reason why i bought so many jackson guitar XD
Dave Mustaine claims that Marty Joined Megadeth with a Carvin and Dave said that he told Marty to get a Jackson. But who knows.
I think that's true. In his Megadeth audition video, Marty is playing that red V220 Carvin.
@@jessiepalermo7234 didn't even know that existed until you told me. So glad I watched that.
After years, I realised I keep my pinky exactly like Marty...too bad I suck
i love jackson..very good old jackson pickup...sound like Tranditional song japanese...
they might actually release the Kelly he is using now in the future
This dude. Is awesomeness.
Hate his picking technique but I LOVE his playing!
Cool to see he's rockin' the flannel again though
Jackson guitars, the best f***ing guitar sound ever 😎🎸😎 in my personal opinion
Sh*t! I need those pups for my Fernandes Ravelle! I want my pickups 'always on' too just like you Marty. And that tone, I just love that tone of your pickups. I wanna swap my 81/60 :(
Hey Marty, do a Jackson signature of your Firebird Jackson guitar!
I have 3 Jacksons, goddamn they are fucking amazing.. randy is for mainly heavy, dinky reverse is for all-around, and kelly is for just evrything.
I've got one, it's great! but because the neck gets wider as you go down (which is awesome for soloing) it sometimes makes chords hihger up a bit akward. still a mean sounding/looking/feeling piece of plank
I love when people say “His picking hand is weird”, it’s like “No shit. And?lol”
Man, Marty is the best. Not really into that new guitar, looks like a nightmare to play, maybe I'm wrong. Love my Jackson Soloist though.
Beautiful guitar being played by a god, what more could you want?
He's acting like this guitar solves so many problems that we have never had solutions to before. Every problem he mentions we have already had solutions to for years...so many that I'm not going to run down each one.
Blake Johnson He's gotta sell the product. Do what ya gotta do you know.
Yeah I hear ya
What would you say is the best guitar out there that has the modern take on the Les Paul body style, the hot distorted tone, and sweet clean tone?
So the original (first) jackson Marty bought when he was younger that he talked about here was a Kelly?
*PRAY TO GOD* that Gibson does not get a stick up the ass and sue Jackson because this model looks like a Les Paul. This Marty Friedman Single Cut model is so cool, original, and unique compared to other Jackson guitars.
gibson doesn't have the trademark on the shape. the only thing you can't copy on a gibson is the headstock.
Rifle Twist Sammy is right, look at the ESP Eclipse
Gibson sued ESP Guitars because of the body shape, four knobs, and full body thickness. There maybe other trademark concerns.
Gibson sued Ibanez over the Destroyer way back, and won, yet the Destroyer and an Ibanez LP style are STILL being sold today. It's DISGUSTING how money hunger Gibson is. Each year there prices go up, and the quality of their instruments go down. Most Epiphones sound and play better than a Gibson nowadays.
Agreed, you are right. Gibson quality and even their Customer Service is terrible. Gibson and Fender are about Quantity and NOT Quality.
Marty play RR Jackson, as good times!! Anyway, why 22 and not 24 frets? You like neck humbucker sound with 22 frets?
I'll wait for the eventual kelly model
What are the differences between the X series MF-1 vs the USA Series MF-1? Need to know before I buy
i'm just wondering how his signature pickup eliminate the upper string noise when he not even muted the upper string. And the strange thing is even he shred, the sound still goes out clean AF like you already muted the upper string. Anyone can explain for it ?
@ 3:00, isn't that Take No Prisoners?
Awesome guitar for an awesome guitarist. I'm lile "such a cool classy guy..." Then the title song from 5:25 comes up....Giggity
I don't know what he's talking about because in Cacophony he used Carvin guitars.
His right hand is freakin' me out !!
Amazing guitar. If only it had 24 frets... Other than that, it's perfect! Jackson, we need a Monarkh/Single Cut with 24 frets!
I hope they're better than the Adrian Smith model. I've worked on three of those and all three were horrible experiences. More recently I worked on the Misha Monsoor model and that went really well. Hope this one is as nice as that one was.
