Lol the instrument totally matters. It's out of tune almost immediately, doesn't resonate at all and barely registers in the higher notes. Get out of here with that "only the musician matters". Yeah, that's why Petrucci plays a $4000 EB Music Man. It helps to be amazing, of course, but a shit instrument will limit you no matter what
@Genreguru why do you care that he pointed it out so much, also, i disagree, i dont think it sounded that bad. no, youre right, it would have sounded better on a decent acoustic, but it still sounded far better than what most could do on a decent acoustic. get a life and stop writing long harrasing youtube comments in a fit of unjustified rage.
@the devil cried damn what's with the pedantic autistic Comments don't you guys know what a joke is? let me explain it to you guys: he's saying (Marty who is 50+ old) still looks young and he's barely starting to look like he's older than a young man who is 30. read carefully before you post dumb stuff.
@Patrik Zácsi I dont see anything wrong with the Japanese culture though, other than they are very greedy. The culture is quite respectable to me and even if he is a "yellow fewer" how does that make him a pervert? I'm genuinely curious.
One memory I'll never forget was seeing Marty and Jason Becker @ 1988 at a guitar seminar . It was at the Carvin outlet in Hollywood across from Guitar Center. They were both so nice and funny. I think there is a video on UA-cam. Great guys and musicians.
Most people don't know this but one of the key factors that makes Marty's sound unique is his strange right hand. The flexed curvature is basically a modified form of the rare Gypsy Jazz style picking, which was invented to create a louder, more aggressive pick attack. He leverages a massive downward pickslant and uses circular thumb picking to get around the string change issue (for example when the pick is below the string and he needs to move to the string above). You can't reach as much consistent speed output with Gypsy style picking as you can with traditional picking but you get MUCH more power. Think of it like the difference between an AK47 and a metronome. AK47 shoots extra fast and clean in short bursts but then soon gets out of control if you keep shooting without rest, but the sound is dynamic and powerful while a metronome maintains consistent high speed, but the sound is rather weak and mechanical.
Yup...any true musician can play anything. Even a children's toy instrument but that paves the the way for future children musicians with instruments like this they can practice, master, and continue with better instruments is whats is about. Learn from the masters of music..Us current and older musicians wont be around, but Pave the way!!
He's really good at it ,I hope his parent get him a true guitar.
Truly underrated comment.
I heard he was bought Jackson Kelly by his parents
That is a true guitar
Nah... his picking hand is bad and also some practice is required... maybe after then he could get a jackson
😂😂😂
Hello Kitty guitar is like "none have touched me like this"
Did you even see the zakk wylde episode
especially since the guitar is underaged
Muhammad Nazir hey now
Go watch the john 5 episode
You referencing znöwhite?
He could play a one string over a cardboard box guitar and still sound better than 99% of us.
Ritch Taylor lolol
I got a laugh out of that one
Agreed
I have one of them laying around in my house
Marty's picking hand is one of the many unsolved mysteries in the universe.
D o w n w a r d
P i c k s l a n t i n g
His technique is what's used in Gypsy Jazz. I'm guessing that's where lots of his style and original inspiration comes from.
@@jonathanangeles1881 You can do that without your hand being all weird.
Watching his picking hand gave me CTS
@@hstreet8792 I always thoughnt a lot of his solos and riffs had a jazzy / blues element to them
Waiting for it to go into holy wars
We all are XD
I thought the same thing😀
Dave would've sued his poor skinny ass. He's ready for a gig with the Gipsy Kings!
kinda did at 00:40
Antonio Eladjor it’s the phantom of the opera. not even close to holy wars.
His way of picking though... The instrument doesn't matter - the player does.
Bruttally true.
Actually not, if they gave him a Tuba, his picking technique wouldn't have mattered.

Nevertheless, in this video he makes it sound way better than it should and that's because of his SKILL.

Man is he getting old, he's starting to look older than 30 now.
I hope you are being sarcastic lol. He looks better then Dave.

Iridescent Noise I don’t get it...
Thats perhaps because he is closer to 60, than 30?
I hate when good jokes go over everyone’s head; but the shitty jokes always get the most laughs for some reason.

Loudwire needs a bassist then we get a legendary super-band.
I nominate Flea
I nominate Frank Bello :p
I nominate Billy Sheehan
I nominate Steve DiGiorgio

Out of context lmao
ok
there are no bad guitars, only bad guitarists
There are no bad guitarist only begginers imersing themselves in the artistry of music
@@wario_lava Greatest comment of all time
When Someone sounds better in a hello kitty guitar than you in a real guitar lol

Damn, I’m so jealous. Two of the greatest guitar players the world has ever seen...
When it's done by other rock artists there's a comedic effect. When it's done by Marty it's just another normal day in office.
I'm such a Marty fanboy, I see a new video with him I click. Can't wait to see him in concert in January!
I never thought I'd see the day where Marty would play a hello kitty guitar. My life is complete
Marty lives in Japan and likes Baby Metal
i was about to go "brother will kill brother, spilling blood across the land..."
"Killing for religion, something i don't understand" i heard Dave's voice reading that.
& don't look now to Israel it might be your homeland !!

0:40 The Phantom of The Opera
Aaron Stone phantom of the opera was stolen from a song called Echoes by Pink Floyd - its even in the same key.
Didn't Rick wakeman attempt to sue Andrew Lloyd Webber over phantom because it's main refrain is the same as his track Judas Iscariot?
@@dannyeglen4750 It's barely similar and both quote from a lot of the same classical works.
I recognized it as the recurring riff in Echoes.
Yeah.. Sue smbd for chromatic riff every guitarist uses sometimes.. 😏
This supposed to be a fun video, but Marty make it glorious!!
You give him a string ... He can bring out song from that ... Such a genius
Im a simple man... I see Marty Friedman, i click on the video
Get new material. That shit is tired.
So do I...
You should search for tommy emmanuel bro
@@midnightaustin9287 Tommy is not from Earth ! ;-) Such a monster, I completely love his kind of playing and he seems to be such a nice guy.
It's sad that Marty makes more interesting music on a hello kitty guitar than most pop musicians with fancy technology today.
0:40 don’t know why but this bit just reminded of phantom of the opera
WOOOOW, marty is so good it's fucking scary. He could put that on an album...
I remember reading in guitar world Dave saying Marty is so good he could get tones out of hair brush.
They should do Paul Gilbert next
YASSS!! I fucking love Paul Gilbert
Weirdest picking hand ever.
I say Willie Adler’s is weirder.
AeonNeon1 You StoleThat From StevieT lol
He said that he is picking that way because he don't like to palm mute.
Gypsy style doward pick slanting profile.
He looks like ha broke his wrist
But no Gene Hoglan or Thomas Haake hello kitty drums.
The drum set rights activists would be really pissed off if that happens
Holy shit Thomas Haake on hello kitty drums would be hilarious !
Man when he plays hello kitty guitar sounds much better than my fender
Finally, Zakk and now Marty
So much amp feedback at the end too
how do you even make such a hello kitty guitar sound majestic
Marty is such an original musician. One of my favorite guitar players of all time.
Man this guy make anything sound good!
I love him do much, thanks for this video Loudwire!
Jesus shit.... I didn't think anyone would beat Saint Zakk but he just did.
This guy is really good at guitar he should write a song about tornadoes.
I love marty sm i hope he never changes
Meanwhile, you think you sound bad because your guitar isn't good enough.
Just Great!
This guitar is living the dream - played and signed by famous musicians!!! :D :D
By far the best Hello kitty guitar session...Awesome, Friedman rules!!!
I love the book in the background with the Opeth logo. Oh and Marty, of course, brilliant as always.
Marty sounds better on a $40 instrument than most players sound on professional gear.
Incredible playing!!
Marty freedman is guitar gods, even u give him cucumber he also can solo it.
When you learned one exotic scale and use it for everything:
Hello Kitty... the punishment purr
GENIUS AS ALWAYS MARTY!! Excellent vibrato shake at the end.... ha HA HA ha HA
I don’t think there is a single person this well educated on music theory on the planet. His solos for megadeth include a musical blend of everything.
We're not worthy! We're not worthy! We're not worthy!
I never knew that I need an acoustic album from Marty until now!
Marty friedman = epic guitar playing
Your point is a toy can make cool music when u have the chops, BRAVO Marty!
this was such a good idea to make all the Crazy players esp the metal guys play a kiddy guitar. I am happy I discovered this today
0:15 wtf look at his left eye... reptilian guitarrist :D
Ha Ha look again, it's a brown spot underneath his pupil, not a vertical pupil

That! That must be his secret! Everyone need to train with hello kitty guitar to be masterful like him!
Definitive proof that its the player not the instrument
Marty Friedman-hello kitty collab
Finally, Marty began to look at least 40
Hell yes this guy is friggin good
Not even a hello kitty can redeem his crazy picking technique.. what an absolute monster though
Those are some strong strings!!
Not even a hello kitty guitar can hold this guitar hero back!
best one yet
Next Dave Mustaine with that guitar lol
Marty Friedman you are so great. you could make an air guitar solo sound good.
Immensely beautiful!!!

OK. I want the Marty Friedman Hello Kitty signature guitar.
In a parallel universe Marty : 'this is how I feel when I see a Hello Kitty guitar. I'm gonna play Tornado of Souls'
