In the following video from Guitar World, bonus content related to the July 2014 issue of the magazine, guitar legent Marty Friedman (ex-Megadeth), offers some tips for guitarists.

In the clip below, Friedman discusses the recording of "Horrors" featuring his first song collaboration with Jason Becker since their time in the famed shred group Cacophony.

Friedman's new album Inferno, is out today, May 23rd in Germany/Austria/Switzerland, May 26th in the UK/Europe, May 27th in North America via Prosthetic Records (except in Japan, where the album was released by Universal Music on May 21st). The album was recorded primarily in Los Angeles with engineer Chris Rakestraw (Danzig, Children Of Bodom) and mixed by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Amon Amarth). Inferno also includes notable guest appearances by several artists influenced by Friedman, including flamenco/metal acoustic guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela, Children Of Bodom front man Alexi Laiho, Skyhardbor mastermind Keshav Dhar and Revocation guitar whiz David Davidson.

In addition, Inferno breaks all genre rules and creates new ones with an exhilarating and musically daring mash-up with Jørgen Munkeby of Shining, as well as two tracks featuring vocals by rock guru Danko Jones. Overall, Inferno is by far Friedman's most thrilling and adventurous effort to date.
