Switching between non-diatonic chords
Legato and arpeggio soloing
Use of string bends and vibrato
We are delighted to welcome metal virtuoso Marty Friedman back on board (his video performance for Komorebi was in GT301). While Marty is well known for his time in the 90s with Megadeth and Cacophony, alongside Jason Becker, he has had a long solo career since living in Japan. This has resulted in 13 solo albums (his latest is Tokyo Jukebox 3) and numerous unique projects.
This month’s track augments Marty’s ability to play with a metal guitar tone over evolving and emotive chord changes. Within this context, Marty demonstrates his unique articulations and vibrant note choices.
Majestical begins with an intro section in C and Marty uses the power chords of C5 and D5. This intro provides big drama and sets up the transition into the verse. This is in the key of G Minor and uses chords taken from the G Natural Minor scale (Gm-Adim-Bb-Cm-DmEb-F) To strengthen the resolution from Dm to Gm the Dm chord (V chord) is changed to D Major or D7. Marty adds tension to this chord by playing the Eb Diminished arpeggio which implies a cumulative sound of D7b9.
