Short interview from the guys at live4guitar, posted by Marty himself on his Facebook page earlier today. Don’t expect the kind of full insightful answers to questions you get with the likes of Steve Vai, Marty Friedman is a short-spoken kind of guy but still, an intersting read, here’s an excerpt:
You have released several instrumental albums that they are all so different from each other. How do you find your self musically in these days (Approach/style/influences)?
As always, searching for deeper and more interesting ways to interpret melodies that I like, without repeating myself. That’s it, making it still sound like me without repeating myself. Influences can be non musical as well as musical, but musically I like a lot of current Japanese music.
