Straight to the Heart

My Boyfriend introduced Marty Friedman's music to me with the cd Loudspeaker and since then we have listened to several more. Scenes is the best of these cd's by far. In addition to a very talented guitarist this cd has the sweetest melodies I've ever had the pleasure to listen to. As guitarists my boyfriend and I were so enchanted by the track entitled, "Triumph" that my boyfriend learned it and then taught it to me. It is a cd that goes straight to the heart and creates a very romantic atmosphere. Kudos to Marty for his inspirational and heartfelt melodies that inspire fellow guitarists.

During the 80's and 90's there was this sudden burst of guitarists who could actually "play". Many of them were in bands and needed an album to express themselves. Marty Friedman is one of them. His work with Cacaphony and Megadeth has always been exceptional, but "Scenes" was a huge break from anything he has ever done. I picked up "Scenes" a long time ago and still listen to it from time to time.
"Scenes" isn't a typical shredder's album. This is very melodic, if not a symphonic masterpiece that takes you on a sonic journey. Each song ties in with the next from beginning to end as it paints a wonderful tapestry of sound. Everything is wonderfully played out and is mesmorizing. If you are into pure guitar music, you will not be disappointed in this. Pick this up as well as his follow up album, "Introduction".

This album is a long way from his days with Jason Becker or his solo effort on Dragons Kiss. Only his most devoted fans will know this is the same marty who lent his incredible talents to metal band Megadeth. All in all his talent still shows but you have to wade through the New Age muck to reach it.

Of all Marty's solo albums, this is my favorite. It's also the one most different from Marty's head-ripping image from Megadeth. Although there are some overdrive solos here that can decapitate as well.
A lot of the ideas in 'Scenes,' Marty has said, were written when he was a teenager, and the album served as a 'cleaning out' of his old ideas. They were however arranged and played by a musically mature Friedman, so the old ideas could hold up to anything else in his other CDs.
The synth simulations in this album are more 'fake' here than in Marty's follow-up 'Introduction,' but I like this fakeness. And if they passed co-producer Kitaro's standards, then there couldn't really be a problem with them.
That's another thing. I was introduced to Kitaro through this album. I heard a lot more of Kitaro afterwards, and he's a cool musician himself.
Anyway, 'Tibet' and 'Angel' are basically one piece, and a great opener to this heavily Oriental album. 'Valley of Eternity' is my favorite piece of Marty in any album. It's epic, and has such beautiful, perfect melodies. 'Night' is a cool track, and has great passionate solos towards the end. I'm so proud to be a Marty fan.
'Realm of the Senses' is my second favorite track. I love the exotic vibrato here. His style of shredding on a clean tone is so powerful. This is just a wonderful track.
'West,' influenced by the 'Marlboro' commercials I'm guessing, has some really awesome background guitar arpeggios. Another perfect moment in the album.
'Trance' is basically a jam tune, I never cared for it actually. It's a good contrast though, I guess, to 'Triumph,' which is a 'peaceful thunder march.' A good serene ending for this album.
Marty Friedman, in this and all of his albums, shows that being a good guitarist and musician has nothing to do with genre.
A truly unique phenomenon in guitar-oriented music.
