Maybe strange to say , but you actually changed my life :O from childhood on i was on the darker sides of, at the age of 14 i had already 2 juvenile convictions and at age 26 i did approx 5 years in multiple terms. Cocaine, booze, homeless. It was a deadly spiral. Then at my last visit to the states hotels, a guard introduced me to the guitar, he lend me an old acoustic one that was barely to be tuned, but i got the first chords down. started to play in the church band in jail and then my father smuggled in 2 dvd's (Yes i know i am from Holland, where jails are actually really hotels) with youtube movies. Starring Marty Schwarz ever since i am hooked to guitar and music and a lot of times it keeps me out of trouble. Thanks a lot.
@John Rogalsky Not too much information at all, what's wrong with you? He's sharing his story and experience and thanking Marty for helping him get right in life. It's a nice story and I'm happy for him, not sure why you're not.
@John Rogalsky Now I know you're just a dumb fuck kid lmao, my profile picture is Tony Soprano. By the way, smoking doesn't have an E, please stay in school.
John Rogalsky you fucking disrespectful piece of shit if U are going to be this disrespectful then why the fuck are u on this channel. Know one wants ur disrespectful ass here
Seriously everyone that is saying how great you are is really right. You are honestly the best teacher on this website man. I had to stop and put a comment. Watching you play it a million times is what gets people to understand. No one teaches like you man very good job.
At 70 I just started playing ( hard to move the old fingers) & promised my wife I would learn how to play this song. I wish I could slow the play down to see the strum & left hand on the cords would help a lot. I hope to play this for our upcoming 48th anniversary 23 days from now.
Lynnie Babes there are probably a dozen chords that every beginner must master in order to go from crawling to waddling. In between learning songs, every week, pick 4 of those chords, master them literally until you can change between them with your eyes closed. See how many chord changes you can do in a minute. Do that for 10 minutes a day. Everyday. In a month you'll be shocked at how much easier songs get to play.
whenever me and my band wants to learn a song, we kinda have an inside joke where we go, “where’s marty... only marty..” because he is the only reliable guitar teacher on youtube for us
Marty, Had a guitar for a little over 1 year between 16-18 years old. Sold it and joined the Army. After Vietnam I couldn’t get into anything. Fifty years passed and for the last 4 years I’ve been learning. You have been a huge part of that process. Thank you. My guitar and songs from the 60’s are a comfort.
I think the best thing about Marty is that he seems so passionate about guitar, it makes it a lot easier to learn when someone loves what they're teaching you too. Really helps me get into the spirit of it.
The true number of people using this method you prescribe is likely astronomical, someone should start him a Kickstarter to buy him a Superbowl ad or something I'd throw in this guy fucking rocks man
I was talking to my co-worker today about how I'm learning the guitar. She said her neighbor did you tube lessons and his name was Marty. I told here I hang out with you every night learning to play. Small world!! Justine said to say hello. 😀
My dad passed in May and now I have his guitar. He used to play this song so much that the whole family associates him with this tune. I want to be able to play this song on his guitar for the family. Thank you for making a tutorial that's easy to understand.
thank you Marty ... this was the first song i learned at age 13 ... i recently bought a Fender and am 62 years old and it is with tears that i remember Mr Krein a neighbor instructor who said ... for some of us ... it is just harder ... we then played the House of the Rising Sun n he said ... that was Good ... i beamed ... Your Tutorials have been the best blessing in my Journey ... BACK ... 1🌹🎸
I Love stories like this, I was lucky enough to have awesome dad named Bill Miser who was a Chicago Blues Man and Old School Gospel Singer. I would sit around and watch him play and sing for years until when I was about 16 he bought me a baby blue fender stratocaster for 20$ from one of my friends and I spent the following 5 years or so learning all the songs he would play and sing until he died when I was 21 from asbestos lung cancer. I'm so glad I took the time to learn his music because now whenever I want to be with him I can play them and feel and hear him playing beside me. Kinda sucks tho he would always play rhythm and I would play leads but now I only get to play his part and then switch to my part never getting to hear them both at the same time like it was cuz I have no one to play with. I did have a bit of forward thinking and got him to go to a recording studio one day and we recorded a handful of songs but he was having a hard time breathing that day so the recording isn't his best not anything like how amazing we used to play during a long night of beers and BBQ. Anyway kind of a rant but this was his favorite song and he sang it with such power it literally would have people in tears, I know it brings me to tears just trying to replicate it best I can. Marty Schwartz here was crucial in my learning process whenever I wasn't playing with my pops I was learning stuff from Marty and would bust it out when I played with my pops later on and he would get so excited to hear me playing songs he didn't even know how to play. He would shout "Wow! Josh that is so cool!" at the top of his lungs when I would get done playing a new song, even came up with a song or two of my own that he really enjoyed. so Im happy to see Marty made a video on this song, I love to hear him play as well, very emotional for me. Music is a wonderful thing, Keep on rockin in the free world! ~Josh Miser

Hey man, I started to teach myself guitar around March of this year, 2018. I've basically used your videos to teach me my favorite songs and in turn learning the finger shapes for the notes and bam! We're in October, 7 months later, my "guitar can play" playlist is at 22 now and i know pieces of others you've shown. Damn Metallica kills me... lol. Anyways. Just wanted to say in a novel sized comment. Thanks. Keep it up. You've got a great way on getting what some would consider boring, tedious and painful, (poor fingertips), a hobby I want to come home and do instead of a chore .Thank you.
Like 12 yrs ago I bought my first guitar and started watching your tutorials. I stopped playing for a very long time and recently decided to pick back up again. It’s great to see that you’re still going at it. Your videos have been by far more helpful than others that I’ve came across. Thank you
It always amazes me what skilled players like to say is easy. I find this to be anything but easy. I've been at it for 2 weeks with very slow progress. At times I think people forget how good they are and Marty is one of them.
Seeing you playing the intro of this song again and again makes me cry! That’s the song my dad used to play for me when he was still alive. May he Rest In Peace!
As a " new to this guitar thing" ( at 64!) I'm finding your tutorials very informative and more importantly, fun to watch and enjoy. Thank you so much from me " DownUnder"!😄
Marty, you have completely taught me how to play guitar. I started watching your videos 10 years ago and I now feel like I can play alright. But would have never been able to play without you instruction. Thank so much!
A VERY LONG time i learned my first song from you and it was REDEMPTION SONG. It seemed to difficult so I put the guitar down until this year when you taught me this HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN and suddenly I snapped into it. I get asked to not practice so early the morning and to put down the guitar at night. Thank you MARTY SCHWARTZ!!!!!!
I have learned so much by watching your videos! I can't read music and I don't know most of the chords, especially bar chords. I play by ear and tab. Anyhow...I can just learn about any song when you teach it. You have the patience of Job!! Keep teaching...I'm learning so much!
He has it listed as an easy and beginner song and still occasionally corrects his mistakes when he misses a note. Makes me feel hope for my ability and let's me know it just takes practice
There was some recent post with Brian May casually playing a solo where he did a mistake and he said pretty much it's all what it is about and that's the part of fun :)
Ok, so this was my granddads' favorite song. Sadly, he passed away when I was only little due to complications with cancer. But thanks to Marty and his excellent teaching methods, I have found a way to honor my late grandfather. By playing his favorite song on guitar.
I have watched many tutorials but couldn't get it quite right, until I saw this one! Thank you! I absolutely love your videos! You are an amazing teacher!❤
RIGHT! i struggle with barre chords for some reason i just cant nail em Marty the first one that teaches not only its OK not to hit it BUT ALTERNATIVE . NICE!
Marty, you taught me guitar, from my first C chord to intermediate level. Wish I started playing 45 years ago in high school but I'm having fun at 63. Very greatful, Thank you Marty!
I remember the first song I ever learned in guitar was smoke on the water and I learned it with one of his old videos. Marty will always have a special place in my heart he helped me start this great adventure learning guitar and while I still have so much to learn I’m so grateful I started with a great teacher.
songsterr - 0 a few others ZERO you put it down a few times in a whole new way MORE THAN ONCE so i can wrap my head around it and i am nailing it! THank you (six years later lol)
nice ... and accurately explained ... I have been playing guitar since age 13 (1969) ... suffered a stroke in recent years but still can remember how to play this ... thanks to Marty ... it is the little things I forget ... the chords are simple but then the timing is so important ... but I still can't sing for toffee ... never could never will :)
Marty, just wanted to let you know that I’m 45 years old and i was born with a birth defect called spina Bifida and I’m confined to a wheelchair but that doesn’t stop me. I work part time with kids at a boys & girls club. I’ve always wanted to play the guitar but was scared that I wouldn’t be able to learn how so finally my mother asked what I wanted for my birthday and I told her a guitar so she ordered me a starter guitar from Walmart! It comes with a strap and a pick and extra Metal strings and a pitch whistle and an Digital-E-tuner! I will be receiving it on the 9th of November and looking forward to it. I came upon your link here on RUclips as I was Searching on how to learn guitar and found you and saw how fun and easy you make learning! I’m going to follow you through my learning experience
As always you make learning fun. You have that friend from next door quality in your teaching personality. You teach at "eye level" not looking down. Thanks, I know you can play the paint off the wall, but thanks for your humility. To me that's the mark of a real man. You don't bully us. You enjoy sharing your knowledge. Arlo Guthrie says during his performances that he borrowed from the all his hands friends, and enjoys giving sharing that knowledge, it's how music evolves. Thank you for your help in musical evolution.
I'm sure you've heard this 100's of times but I've tried alot of others who were teaching and I've given up in them, and then I found you . I just want to say your method had been truly the best I've found. Thankyou for taking the time to show people like me it can be possible to learn and grow in music and advance you guitar skills.
I started playing this song with my high school Rock band, never giving the strum much focus since the progression of the song is so dramatic and familiar to most, however your lesson gave me pause to the Rolling of the strum with a counterpoint nuance. Thank You Mr. Schwartz.
This is the only Chanel I will come to to learn songs on acoustic. I always wanted to learn guitar and now I have because of you marty. Your amazing and thank you.
Thanks Marty for the good memories of the song house of the rising sun,that I played over fifty years ago.Now I'm back at it with so much enthusiasm Now I have an accoutic guitar in my bedroom that keeps my company . The joy it brings to me is endless
I know this is old but I have fooled around a little over the years but just started really getting into it about 3 years ago. Still suck but, I never could play the standard F well. I picked up on the Barre cord like I have been playing it forever!
There is a house in new orleans They call the rising sun And it's been the ruin of many other poor boys And god, I know, I'm one My mother was a tailor Sewed my new blue jeans My father was a gamblin' man Down in new orleans And the only thing a gamblin' man needs Is a suitcase and trunk And the only time he will de satisfaed It's wen his on drunk Oh mother, tell your children Not to do what I Have done Spend your lives in sin and misery In the house of the rising sun I'v got one foot on the platform The other foot on the Train I'm going back to new orleans To wear that ball and chain Well there is a house in new orleans They call the rising sun And it's been the ruin of many other poor boys And god, I know, I'm one
Marty, thank you so much! For all your videos! I was the Rhythn guitarist for Fool's Forgiven for 7 years, and our last tour was 2005. After that, my guitar sat for 13 years. Last month, I broke my shoulder riding my Ninja, and at 50, I knew I needed therapy to get it moving again. My son pulled my guitar off the rack and insisted that I play. I found your videos and have thouroughly enjoyed learning a lot of music...the old arm is working again, and the dexterity from not playing is coming back!
I got the chords for this song and strummed just a straight down/up,and it sounded ok,but you make me think I can do the strumming the way you showed me,thanks I'll be working on the strums one chord at a time, then put it all together
Thx for your help, I am 60 and thought I couldn't learn at this point, not only can I now because of you, it some how relieves down my stress level as well, by taking my mind off of life for awhile to play, thx kid !
Marty I have followed you for decades, and just want to Thank You for your entertaining, fun and instructive lessons.We started a jam group this week and one of the songs put forward was House of the rising sun.Tell you what, after focusing on uke for 5 years your mind and muscle memory go haywire return to guitar. What was worse was a 2 hour ukulele group on the evening. First two songs my fingers totally disobeyed brain saying play Em or play C and stayed in guitar mode. (thankfully not banjo, even worse)OK, it was fine after that, but scary trying to be Mister multi instrumentalist. Anyway, ta
Marty you are simply the best --- there is NOBODY who knows how to instruct like you! I feel that you consistently show us ways to get musical texture out of the guitar that go beyond simple notions of either strumming or picking, and you show it in ways we can actually learn from your video! I also have to say for anyone reading this, you should get Marty's Uncaged course, you will love it!!!
been learning guitar since the start of june, so about 17 days now. played approx. 10 mins a day or until my fingers told me to quit. Today was one of those days where I really tried to ignore my fingers cuz I was having so much fun learning this. thanks marty!!
Hi Marty. I have always sucked at using a pick (plectrum), do you think you could do a basic tutorial on how to use a pick? I always grow my nails, which I find don't sound as good, but it feels more natural. Might sound like a super basic thing to teach, but man, my picking is so bad. Would be good to get your input into how to develop the technique and to use the right kind of pick, especially for a beginner pick user. As always thanks for your tutorials, awesome You Tube Channel, your work here is very much appreciated.
there's an app called 'yousician' it helped me so much with my plectrum. It gives you 20min lessons each day without having to subscribe. Hope you find it useful:)
I too have issue, I had my right thumb re-attached at the first digit and had extreme difficulties at first. However, after practicing 2-3 hours a day for a month I got the hang of it, just keep practicing and you'll get it.
I’ve been back playing guitar for the past year now, since I was a teenager. Out of all the online teachers, Marty is my go to guy. He is a great player and he really breaks things down for people. He has the ability to make people learn & understand the guitar and the songs he’s playing. Thank you so much for your help. I have learned great lengths and can’t wait to play more with you. I would really like to see you cover Nautical Disaster by the Tragically Hip. Also if you could do Pretty Dope Fiend by the delinquents that would be wicked and would be the first I’ve seen. Thanks again Marty, you’re awesome and the best teacher out there. From Wade in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
I’m not one to leave comments but just had to. I’ve never been able to strum properly until now. I’ve tried with other people and even private lessons. You just make it so easy and you take the time. You are clear and precise with your explanations as if it was our first time. This makes you an awesome teacher. You have given me the hope that I’ll actually be able to play something eventually. Thank you so much!! 😁
Me and my dad have been watching your videos for a long time now. We love it how you take your time so we don't always have to rewind. You teach for the slow and teach the pros. Great work man.
I don't know how to play guitar, but I decided to learn this song. I've spent the last month learning that evil f chord and it feels like my I have cuts on the tips of my fingers, but now the issues are the chord changes and any hand shifts. I look forward to being able to make it past the 4 minutes of this lesson within the next month. XD
Start off with something a bit easier since you are a novice. That being said, you should be able to build up to this skill level soon. Focus on being able to transition smoothly between the basic chords. Good luck!
I really appreciate how easy you make it learning a tune; you break the tune down into easy blocks and how to pick out strings in the best way I have seen online. Other players baffle me with over-complicated explanations about chord progression and everything else. Most people learning want to be able to play a song or two before going deeper into the whole guitar method & history. Thank you so much; I am NOW enjoying how to play the guitar at long last & watching the other tutors was beginning to think I should give up because I could not grasp the overload of information and was thick or not musically inclined. You have convinced me that with your help; anyone can at least learn to play a couple of song on guitar and they don't need to grow 6 extra fingers. Cheers Marty God bless you. Keith.
Thanks for the lesson. My wife has wanted me to learn this song for awhile now. Her dad played it when she was growing up. Now it's time for me to play it for my girls as they grow up. Cheers
Maybe strange to say , but you actually changed my life :O from childhood on i was on the darker sides of, at the age of 14 i had already 2 juvenile convictions and at age 26 i did approx 5 years in multiple terms.

Find 'play back speed' through your options on the you tube video and you can speed them up or slow them down to get the fingering.
Hit the 3 dots in the top right corner , then scroll down to play speed
Never too late to start playing, good for you dude and congrats on the anniversary!
did u did it
Well, has it worked out?
And as a P.S. Would it be possible for the chords to be displayed on the screen as you play them?👍
Lynnie Babes no
ryan Shush now
Great idea - add them as subtitles (or whatever they are called on here) so people can turn them on or off
Lynnie Babes it's already great and that would make it 10x better

You could have spend 3 hours to learn how to grab the correct F and profit from it forever. No shortcuts 😉

He has it listed as an easy and beginner song and still occasionally corrects his mistakes when he misses a note. Makes me feel hope for my ability and let's me know it just takes practice
There was some recent post with Brian May casually playing a solo where he did a mistake and he said pretty much it's all what it is about and that's the part of fun :)
Ok, so this was my granddads' favorite song. Sadly, he passed away when I was only little due to complications with cancer. But thanks to Marty and his excellent teaching methods, I have found a way to honor my late grandfather. By playing his favorite song on guitar.
I have watched many tutorials but couldn't get it quite right, until I saw this one! Thank you! I absolutely love your videos! You are an amazing teacher!❤
Just learning guitar and after watching this video I now can actually play a F chord! Great video thanks Marty!
RIGHT! i struggle with barre chords for some reason i just cant nail em Marty the first one that teaches not only its OK not to hit it BUT ALTERNATIVE . NICE!
Marty, you taught me guitar, from my first C chord to intermediate level. Wish I started playing 45 years ago in high school but I'm having fun at 63. Very greatful, Thank you Marty!

I remember the first song I ever learned in guitar was smoke on the water and I learned it with one of his old videos. Marty will always have a special place in my heart he helped me start this great adventure learning guitar and while I still have so much to learn I’m so grateful I started with a great teacher.

nice ... and accurately explained ... I have been playing guitar since age 13 (1969) ... suffered a stroke in recent years but still can remember how to play this ... thanks to Marty ... it is the little things I forget ... the chords are simple but then the timing is so important ... but I still can't sing for toffee ... never could never will :)
I love the way you break it down.
Thanks! Follow me right here for NEW videos at "MartyMusic" all my best!

Marty, just wanted to let you know that I’m 45 years old and i was born with a birth defect called spina Bifida and I’m confined to a wheelchair but that doesn’t stop me. I work part time with kids at a boys & girls club. I’ve always wanted to play the guitar but was scared that I wouldn’t be able to learn how so finally my mother asked what I wanted for my birthday and I told her a guitar so she ordered me a starter guitar from Walmart! It comes with a strap and a pick and extra Metal strings and a pitch whistle and an Digital-E-tuner! I will be receiving it on the 9th of November and looking forward to it. I came upon your link here on RUclips as I was Searching on how to learn guitar and found you and saw how fun and easy you make learning! I’m going to follow you through my learning experience
As always you make learning fun. You have that friend from next door quality in your teaching personality. You teach at "eye level" not looking down. Thanks, I know you can play the paint off the wall, but thanks for your humility. To me that's the mark of a real man. You don't bully us. You enjoy sharing your knowledge. Arlo Guthrie says during his performances that he borrowed from the all his hands friends, and enjoys giving sharing that knowledge, it's how music evolves. Thank you for your help in musical evolution.
I'm sure you've heard this 100's of times but I've tried alot of others who were teaching and I've given up in them, and then I found you . I just want to say your method had been truly the best I've found. Thankyou for taking the time to show people like me it can be possible to learn and grow in music and advance you guitar skills.

Hahha yup

Shorts I have wartz hereee
Hahaha...true dude...
Every intro ever but he plays the song (lesson) first that's awesome
If he had tabs onscreen too, he would be some kind of god
I started playing this song with my high school Rock band, never giving the strum much focus since the progression of the song is so dramatic and familiar to most, however your lesson gave me pause to the Rolling of the strum with a counterpoint nuance. Thank You Mr. Schwartz.
I've literally learned multiple songs from you dude...you're great!
This is the only Chanel I will come to to learn songs on acoustic. I always wanted to learn guitar and now I have because of you marty. Your amazing and thank you.
Whenever I want to learn a song, I come straight to your channel! Love it.
I appreciate that very much Pam! Thanks so much! So much more BRAND NEW CONTENT coming right here to "MartyMusic" Stay tuned!

Thanks Marty for the good memories of the song house of the rising sun,that I played over fifty years ago.Now I'm back at it with so much enthusiasm
Now I have an accoutic guitar in my bedroom that keeps my company .
The joy it brings to me is endless
Marty you've taken me from just finding chords to playing lots of songs. You make it simple to understand and don't go too fast. great teacher
I know this is old but I have fooled around a little over the years but just started really getting into it about 3 years ago. Still suck but, I never could play the standard F well. I picked up on the Barre cord like I have been playing it forever!

Marty, thank you so much! For all your videos! I was the Rhythn guitarist for Fool's Forgiven for 7 years, and our last tour was 2005. After that, my guitar sat for 13 years. Last month, I broke my shoulder riding my Ninja, and at 50, I knew I needed therapy to get it moving again. My son pulled my guitar off the rack and insisted that I play. I found your videos and have thouroughly enjoyed learning a lot of music...the old arm is working again, and the dexterity from not playing is coming back!
What gets me is the rhythm and the chord picking
Agreed
I got the chords for this song and strummed just a straight down/up,and it sounded ok,but you make me think I can do the strumming the way you showed me,thanks I'll be working on the strums one chord at a time, then put it all together
Thanks this is really helping I have always liked the song and now I can actually play it.
p.s. you are the best teacher on here because I've watched plenty of guitar lesson videos and none of them are as easy to understand as yours
Thx for your help, I am 60 and thought I couldn't learn at this point, not only can I now because of you, it some how relieves down my stress level as well, by taking my mind off of life for awhile to play, thx kid !
You probably make you’re dad so proud you’re frinking awesome
Bruh your profile picture throws me off
Marty I have followed you for decades, and just want to Thank You for your entertaining, fun and instructive lessons.We started a jam group this week and one of the songs put forward was House of the rising sun.Tell you what, after focusing on uke for 5 years your mind and muscle memory go haywire return to guitar. What was worse was a 2 hour ukulele group on the evening. First two songs my fingers totally disobeyed brain saying play Em or play C and stayed in guitar mode. (thankfully not banjo, even worse)OK, it was fine after that, but scary trying to be Mister multi instrumentalist. Anyway, ta
Instead of singing the actually song I keep singing, “A MINORRRRR”
Thank you Marty. That was great, never could quite get the strumming right until I watched you. Thank you

I played along with these videos for about a year when I broke my back. Kept mental spirits up.
I saw the first 3 chords were super easy and was buzzed then that dreaded f chord popped up and i just 👋🏽
Marty you are simply the best --- there is NOBODY who knows how to instruct like you! I feel that you consistently show us ways to get musical texture out of the guitar that go beyond simple notions of either strumming or picking, and you show it in ways we can actually learn from your video! I also have to say for anyone reading this, you should get Marty's Uncaged course, you will love it!!!
Great lesson martyyy
Thanks again for supporting me right here at "martyMusic"

Marty Music ,like your style more than most Marty,,do you have a cover for the Beatles,mother nature's son??
been learning guitar since the start of june, so about 17 days now. played approx. 10 mins a day or until my fingers told me to quit. Today was one of those days where I really tried to ignore my fingers cuz I was having so much fun learning this. thanks marty!!
Hi Marty. I have always sucked at using a pick (plectrum), do you think you could do a basic tutorial on how to use a pick? I always grow my nails, which I find don't sound as good, but it feels more natural. Might sound like a super basic thing to teach, but man, my picking is so bad. Would be good to get your input into how to develop the technique and to use the right kind of pick, especially for a beginner pick user. As always thanks for your tutorials, awesome You Tube Channel, your work here is very much appreciated.
there's an app called 'yousician' it helped me so much with my plectrum. It gives you 20min lessons each day without having to subscribe. Hope you find it useful:)
If your picking hasn't improved yet, try a thumb pick. It would be a very similar feeling to your nail.
I too have issue, I had my right thumb re-attached at the first digit and had extreme difficulties at first. However, after practicing 2-3 hours a day for a month I got the hang of it, just keep practicing and you'll get it.
I’ve been back playing guitar for the past year now, since I was a teenager. Out of all the online teachers, Marty is my go to guy. He is a great player and he really breaks things down for people. He has the ability to make people learn & understand the guitar and the songs he’s playing. Thank you so much for your help. I have learned great lengths and can’t wait to play more with you. I would really like to see you cover Nautical Disaster by the Tragically Hip. Also if you could do Pretty Dope Fiend by the delinquents that would be wicked and would be the first I’ve seen. Thanks again Marty, you’re awesome and the best teacher out there. From Wade in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Thanks for teaching me this Marty, now my dad can stop moaning at me to "play something he knows" XD
I went trough some House Of The Rising Sun Guitar Lessons and Marty Music was and is the best one there. Thank you man I appreciate you.
For the first time i learn a guitar song in 5 minutes, think i moved to level 2 xD
3 days to learn this. F is new to me and ive played guitar since 15. November 2019
Thanks for your videos Marty

I’m not one to leave comments but just had to. I’ve never been able to strum properly until now. I’ve tried with other people and even private lessons. You just make it so easy and you take the time. You are clear and precise with your explanations as if it was our first time. This makes you an awesome teacher. You have given me the hope that I’ll actually be able to play something eventually. Thank you so much!! 😁
Yay! I can play songs from my favourite band Queen!!!!!1!11!
Been watching this guy for years he's brilliant
love the fedora! sick man..sick keep it up
Luc Joannette can’t tell if this is sarcastic. It only works on him tbh
This was the first song I ever learnt on guitar, absolute classic.
a minor...Eeeeeeee
Me and my dad have been watching your videos for a long time now. We love it how you take your time so we don't always have to rewind. You teach for the slow and teach the pros. Great work man.
Can you play the regulator clutch
I don't know how to play guitar, but I decided to learn this song. I've spent the last month learning that evil f chord and it feels like my I have cuts on the tips of my fingers, but now the issues are the chord changes and any hand shifts. I look forward to being able to make it past the 4 minutes of this lesson within the next month. XD
O yeah yeay
I got so excited when I learned that I could actually do it! I usually get very discouraged. Thank you Marty!
Just started playing guitar, know a few chords. Is this too hard for me?
Start off with something a bit easier since you are a novice. That being said, you should be able to build up to this skill level soon. Focus on being able to transition smoothly between the basic chords. Good luck!
don't give up,Marty is the best.
As soon as you finished playing it at first, thunder struck right outside and that smears pretty cool

I really appreciate how easy you make it learning a tune; you break the tune down into easy blocks and how to pick out strings in the best way I have seen online. Other players baffle me with over-complicated explanations about chord progression and everything else. Most people learning want to be able to play a song or two before going deeper into the whole guitar method & history.
Thank you so much; I am NOW enjoying how to play the guitar at long last & watching the other tutors was beginning to think I should give up because I could not grasp the overload of information and was thick or not musically inclined. You have convinced me that with your help; anyone can at least learn to play a couple of song on guitar and they don't need to grow 6 extra fingers. Cheers Marty God bless you.

Damn i've been playing for over 20 years and i've still yet to play an F chord

Thanks for the lesson. My wife has wanted me to learn this song for awhile now. Her dad played it when she was growing up. Now it's time for me to play it for my girls as they grow up.
