Marty Friedman`s presence in the world of music, the world of guitar, and Japanese pop culture is mystifying, bizarre, and nothing short of inspiring. Friedman first gained attention with Cacophony, which released two game-changing albums and then he was recruited by Megadeth, propelling the band to its peak with his exotic guitar work, an integral part of some of the most influential metal albums of all time. After leaving Megadeth, Friedman relocated to Tokyo where he has become a household name, even beyond the world of music. Since moving to Japan, he’s appeared on over 800 Japanese TV shows of every variety, as well as motion pictures and commercials. He was recently appointed an Ambassador of Japan Heritage by the Japanese Government. He is an icon of guitar, and a musical bridge between vastly different cultures.
