Overview
MARTY FRIEDMAN New Year LIVE 2026 is a virtuosic, guitar-centric sonic odyssey by Marty Friedman (born 1962 in Washington, D.C.), the legendary shred guitarist whose neoclassical fusion, exotic scales, and technical mastery defined ’80s metal with Megadeth’s Rust in Peace (1990) and solo career since Dragon’s Kiss (1988), with over 5 million albums sold, Grammy nominations, and Japanese TV fame as “Mr. Speedy Fingers,” blending J-rock flair with global improvisation.
