Marty Friedman : Forbidden City

[nitsuj]

Something I've been working on over the past few months. A very old Marty Friedman tune from an era of '80s Shrapnel Label shred guitar before he joined Megadeth.

Not exactly the mix I want but I think it gets the message across.

LOVE THIS - Listening to the Dragons Kiss on Vinyl right now.

Was hoping you post the patch and maybe an explanation of the patch with a pic so the Axe 2 guys could dial in that Cacophony like tone as well.
Thanks so MUCH for this
Love it!!!
Great Playing

Thanks mate. Vinyls and old shit are the best. Partly because it has so much nostalgia.

Sorry to disappoint you but those patches are really straight ahead as I'm a really simple tweaker. No fancy schmancy effects and routing. Here it is anyways.

Wow, that brings back memories hehe. Great cover dude!

I know that one. I don't have any Friedman or Cacaphony records. Was it on one of the Shrapnel samplers? Guitar Player flexidisc? I'm dead sure I heard it before.
It's a bit messy but must have been fun making it. I definitely couldn't do that.

Its Marty's debut album 'Dragon's Kiss' in '88 with killer tracks in it. But I'm sure it found its way into some sampler compilations.

You know what? I think I should still have the vinyl version of that album here somewhere haha.

 

[kmanick]

wow that's some pretty kick ass playing there!

Congratulations for even trying this. It must have taken ages to be able to memorize and play this track.
I have this CD its great both this one and Jason Becker solo album from that date. Killer albuns and playing!

 

[guitarzpt]

Kick ass on that Symphony X cover on Sound Cloud too dude. Keep on rolling!

so many years without listening 'Dragon's Kiss' and your cover makes me think "WHY?!?!?!?!?!"
Marty Friedman can play one phrase with all hate under the sun and play the next one with all love under the sun... pure feeling... and you got it, man!!!

congrats!!!
