That's exactly what I love about Marty and more or less what tell some of my less aware pals or unitiated types when they watch a video or hear something I play for em by him that makes em go "WHOA!" I think whoever touched on the guy's brazen self assuredness and "swagger" nailed it also. The guy just sails right on thru! Although I'm sure his playing didn't come all that easy, he's done a scale or so in his time! ;-) I love him!
