Marty Friedman was the lead guitarist for the thrash metal band Megadeth for a period of almost twelve years (1988 to 2000). It was during this period that Megadeth's musical style became less aggro , and more melodic, which Friedman claims to be due, at least partly, to his creative influence. He has done solo work alongside Japanese maestro Kitaro , as well as recordings with Jason Becker (under the name Cacophony), a classical "shredder".
