Melodic Control

By flashing back how many g. videos I had watched, I had viewed a list of instructional videos on the skills of Jeff Watson(Night Ranger), Paul GIlbert, Vinnie Moore, Marty Friedman, Richie Kotzen, Tommy Emmanuel, Albert Lee, Yngwie Malmsteen, Mike Wolf, Chet Atkins and Eric Johnson. That's not too many, but that's fine.

Out of these virtuosos, I think Marty Friedman is the only one I would distinguish from the rest of the metal shredders in terms of his creativity. The critical aspect in his teaching is that his alteration in combination with his flexible technique results in a melody that sounds so natural and just blows your mind away. He is really different from the rest !! Imagine listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan beating about his blues+pentatonic scales all over the e. guitar Versus Marty Friedman playing pentatonic+japanese+bits of blues and blending them together on jazz/tension/basic chords just impress me big time. Marty is an Alien, not a human.

I had watched his video called Melody Control. Sometimes we as guitarists especially the amateurs are just simply playing scales within the box. That was my old habit but I think I somehow have improved a lot in this aspect. By doing so requires a strong illustration on how each particular scale(say Lydian) is born all over the neck(octaves-wise) and how you can manipulate it with your talent.

Other than Marty, Chet Atkins and Emmanuel also kick arses.
