Marty Friedman was born in December 8, 1962 (age 47 years old). His early career as a guitarist is known by his project band called Cacophony, where he team up with Jason Becker. Cacophony is often recognized for its technically challenging, neo-classical metal and speed metal elements.Both of them always been compared with each other.They broke up in 1989, with Friedman joining the successful thrash metal band Megadeth and Becker joining David Lee Roth's solo band. The fans famous questions are who is better, who has better shredding techniques, an so on. But for me the comparison made is totally not fair because both of them are guitar god, every one of them has their own skills. Jason Becker is known because sweep picking technique he had developed at such young age (see serrana video by Jason Becker in Youtube if you are not believe me). Marty Friedman is surely seem weird when he is holding the pick, but that's his style, people can do whatever they feel confortable right? Also, his is an exellent composer.He and Paul Gilbert had jammed together for the Young Guitar Magazine, I think the video is the best instructional video that ever been recorded. You can see the video here, they consist of 5 parts. Part 1 Part2 Part3 Part4 Part5
He is currently live in Japan and speaks Japanese fluently. I'm sure he can easily gets Japanese girls as many as he wants to. Haha! Urrrgh, definitely gonna visit Japan someday...hehehe. Owh, why am I smiling like a freakin' idiot? Lol!
