To me. He's very original.I have never heard another gitarist playing like Marty.Marty is an one of a kind. And that's why he's original, in my opinion of course.

not original? you are the first person i have ever heard say that. listen to his stuff in cacaphony, or even megadeth, he is as original as you can get.

in a magazine i have marty says he prefers to pick like that in solos cuz sweeping is easier, and keeps his tone cleaner :)

Are you crazy guys???This is the GOD Marty Friedman..........Nobody does solos like him...Miss him on megadeth....... Wanna be like him one day

no, he has a reason he picks like that. i think it was to keep the lower strings from buzzing or something like that, so that there is a clearer tone, something like that, i remember seeing it in one instructional video with him

He must have one of the most inefficient pick techniques I have ever seen. But you can't argue with the results, he sounds amazing.
