Marty Friedman- Scenes
Some of you may know him as a fromer member of Megadeth, most famous in my opinion from the Rust in Peace album and songs like Holy Wars, Hangar 18, and Tornado of Souls.
In his post-Megadeth career, Marty Friedman has released several solo albums, which are departures from his work with Megadeth. Full of melody, expression, and marty’s awesome songwriting abilities, Scenes is probably my favorite solo album of his, at least at this moment. This album also has plenty of technicality and shredding to it as well, so don’t think it’s all soft melodies.
Also, if you enjoy Marty’s shreddier side of his playing, check out Cacophony, a band that he and Jason Becker were in. Not a lot of… let’s say substance… but lots and lots of shredding.
