10+ years ago I was watching Marty and leaning Nirvana songs now I'm watching Marty and learning Jimi Hendrix embellishments! Thanks for everything, Marty!
I can relate to this. I hadn’t touched a guitar in 10 years and wanted to learn Heart Shaped Box. Now I’m watching all of his Hendrix embellishment videos.
I first saw Marty many years ago and quickly recognized him as not just a wonderful musician but an EXCELLENT teacher. I'm sure we all have stories about great guitar players who can't teach for shit. Marty is the man! Thanks Marty.
Marty thank you man from the bottom of an old totally blind musicians heart. I have always wanted to learn the circle of fifths I knew there was an easy way but I just never could figure it out. At the age of 33 I decided I would become a Guitar Player so I could accompany myself I was a singer and drummer. Well the age of 57 I was in a enjoyable rabbit hole on RUclips and you said something that took me to this video and within five minutes I have something to practice for the rest of my life. That might not mean much to you let me tell you you help me peek over it Guitar Player. Man what I mean is I’m playing drums and bands guitar players do this all the time I go to jam sessions they do it all the time. But I couldn’t just see them and how the fingers move up the neck respectively. So you have opened the eyes of the blind and I thank you have a great rest of your life. You have truly created a wonderful RUclips experience also enjoyed your Ed King interview.
Marty, sometimes, some of us just don't get it until you relate the name of a concept to a simple fact. Your explanation and demonstration of a chord 'inversion' is spot on! Thank you and keep up the good work!
I've learnt a lot of Hendrix material from Marty here, in only five months. I mean, I've been learning.. I got a so very much long way to go. But this Major Chord class of today must be one of his best ever. He taught simple tricks, easy to play, but bring such a Hendrix like sound. Outstanding. Thank you very much, Marty master.
BE A SMARTY, LEARN FROM MARTY!!!!!! As a geezer, I am enjoying using a majority of my time playing and always continuing to learn guitar. I take lessons through a Veterans group. Your name comes up alot, as one of the best teachers if not the best teacher on YT. THANK YOU for helping a bunch of old Veterans. We grew up with a lot of the music you teach. It's a gas learning how to play some of it. Thanks again........ ...L8RG8R....🎸🎶🇺🇲😎
You have just blown my mind and taught me something I've went a life time without knowing. Looking at them as backwards power chords, or major chord inversions as you referred to them. When you play those little pentatonic hammer on and pull off licks, you always think of power chords. But moving up and down, and still never provokes you to look at them as backward power chords. Giving everyone a new prospective of looking at their playing and lick fills. This is the greatest lesson you ever did Marty. Please, feel free to keep blowing my mind. Doesn't happen often, but when it does. It feels too good. 🤣 🤣 🎸😎
About the last comment! I’ve learned more in the past year and I’m ashamed to say how many years I’ve been playing! But when you have good teachers, that will explain things, a whole new world can open up! It’s not a competition, let’s have fun and become better guitar players! Doing something we truly love! Peace!
I just want to stop playing for a moment and thank you for all your videos which helped me a lot over the years of my playing. I learned a lot from you. You are a Legend! Thank you! 🤘🏻
Marty, thank you soooo very much. I was a struggling guitar player until I found your sites, I have many of them locked in and practice with you daily. Your instructional skill has guided me to raise my level so much. I feel confident now. THANK YOU!!!
Marty, I just want to say thank you for this video. I have watched SO MANY dang videos trying to understand this Hendrix-y style of chords and embellishments and it just never made sense. For some reason this one just clicked and is changing my playing. THANK YOU!
Hi Marty, this is another great, helpful and simple lesson for me. I am 65 now and learned guitar just by listening music. I wish I had a teacher like you in my youth. Really love your Videos. Thank you very much 👍👍👍
Ive been watching your videos since i got a hand ne down guitar from my brother when i was 16 about 12 years now, thanks for the hours of free education id like to think im a proficient player now and its moslty been thanks to your free tutorials and theory lessons. Peace and love from the uk
I know what I'm working on this weekend. Brett does a Hey Joe, video and this breaks what he was doing down to the fine morels. I love this style of Blues. Can't wait to see more and thank you for it.
Marty! your teaching program is the easiest to follow my progress was zero until I found your site. Thanks for a great and very patient help for us oldies to understand. Kindest regards Rob Handford.
Here I am - one of your lifetime guitarjamz grasshoppers. Always find my way over here for more good stuff. Love it all. Thanks so much. I haven't seen that you've done SRV "So Excited" - is one of my alltime favs. -- skiwime
I already saw this hendrix tricks (hentrix) before, but thanks to this I can refine their execution. thanks, once again, marty. I can't wait to pick up my guitar
What great teaching skills. It's rewarding that you not only show the fingering but that you add in a bit of music theory. "Inversion" Ha! haven't heard that in a while..... Thanks again, and again....
This was a killer little lesson/info. I know this is an old one but on that intro where he adds the 5th in the bass, I couldn’t figure out what chord it was supposed to be, or why it was shaped that way but now it’s all clear as mud! Lol thanks man, helped a lot!
Hey Marty could you do a follow up lesson on how to construct a solo like Hendrix? There seems to be a huge shortage of those videos on RUclips in general.
Hey bud good question - think this lesson actually answers it though. Hendrix solos using this very concept in Little Wing (with the exception of one minor pentatonic riff to add a little tension)
I'm really looking forward to that Don't Let Me Down lesson, Marty! I definitely didn't expect you to connect that song to this lesson, but I'm glad you did! I've been wanting a good lesson on that song for a while.
You took just 5mins to un-lock a whole area of new (to me) bluesy technique goodness for me to experiment with! Great work mate, thanks! For free too!!
Major light bulb. Thanks man, now I understand why it works, as opposed to others who just tell you to go 2 frets up from the major shape. Cheers and happy new year
You rock Marty! Thanks for the lessons. I am a jazz drummer from Puerto Rico and I picked up the guitar recently. I've learned a lot thanks to your videos.
Dear Marty. I've been watching you for years. And personally you've helped me a lot, to play the guitar. This lesson really opened my mind to a new concept of soloing. ---Your loyalty fan PS. My writing English is little rubies
wow Im shocked that you're still doing what you're doing well done, I've been watching you're channel for about 6 years, you first taught me Johnny b goode and now Im rocking out to eruption, thanks marty
Your lesson for Yellow Ledbetter led me to this one. I heard Pearl Jams influence on the first hammer-on. Never been a huge Jimi fan, but it looks like Im going to become a new study. These inverted chords sound fantastic and is getting me out of a rut of making rhetorical barr chord sounds. Thanks Marty.
I think you read my mind with this lesson. I always wondered about the inverted chords. used, seen, and heard them played. never really understood the theory behind them. thanks....great lesson marty
Cheers Marty ur lessons are so good to follow, I find a lot of lessons people show u something but it's at lightning speed and even with a rewind button it can still be a pain so I like how u repeat it, slow it dwn and go through it without droaning on so well done hahaha
hi marty, you have been such an inspriation to me for getting a guitar, ive always watch your tutorials and ive learned of you iron man,brain stew,when i come around,smells like teen spirit and basket case also smoke on the water but keep up the great helpful tutorials
10+ years ago I was watching Marty and leaning Nirvana songs now I'm watching Marty and learning Jimi Hendrix embellishments! Thanks for everything, Marty!
Same homie lol
Same homie lol
Same here amigo!
that is cool I bet your an ausem player!!!
I can relate to this. I hadn’t touched a guitar in 10 years and wanted to learn Heart Shaped Box. Now I’m watching all of his Hendrix embellishment videos.
When Marty explains, I simply understand. Such a great teacher.
Agreed
So true
Yea he doesn't beato things for sure!
It's taken me 3 years to get here but I now understand this with clarity....you rock!!!
I first saw Marty many years ago and quickly recognized him as not just a wonderful musician but an EXCELLENT teacher. I'm sure we all have stories about great guitar players who can't teach for shit. Marty is the man! Thanks Marty.

But I couldn’t just see them and how the fingers move up the neck respectively. So you have opened the eyes of the blind and I thank you have a great rest of your life.
You have truly created a wonderful RUclips experience also enjoyed your Ed King interview.
You make me understand why Hendrix was in a class by himself.
I appreciate the way you get right to the teaching without too much
elaboration.
This is my favorite lesson of all your lessons.
Marty, sometimes, some of us just don't get it until you relate the name of a concept to a simple fact. Your explanation and demonstration of a chord 'inversion' is spot on! Thank you and keep up the good work!

25 years and I have finally learned how to play Hendrix style. Thank you Marty!

Thank you for a lesson beautiful cord melody cheers brother
Marty bro if you ever see this. I love you. Every time I watch a video of yours it's game changing and I level up like 10 times.
About the last comment! I’ve learned more in the past year and I’m ashamed to say how many years I’ve been playing! But when you have good teachers, that will explain things, a whole new world can open up! It’s not a competition, let’s have fun and become better guitar players! Doing something we truly love!

Great job explaining the reasoning, not just saying where fingers go!
Thank you for going out of your way to not be confusing. Your instruction methods make this much easier than others
I just want to stop playing for a moment and thank you for all your videos which helped me a lot over the years of my playing. I learned a lot from you. You are a Legend! Thank you! 🤘🏻
Man I have been hearing something in my head when I have been playing, and rewatching this helped me figure it out. Thx Marty.
Marty, thank you soooo very much. I was a struggling guitar player until I found your sites, I have many of them locked in and practice with you daily. Your instructional skill has guided me to raise my level so much. I feel confident now. THANK YOU!!!
Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks Marty.
Marty- I think I used to jam with you in Rockville and Bethesda and I just wanted to say what a pleasure it has been to watch your videos! Cheers!
Marty, I just want to say thank you for this video. I have watched SO MANY dang videos trying to understand this Hendrix-y style of chords and embellishments and it just never made sense. For some reason this one just clicked and is changing my playing. THANK YOU!
Hi Marty, this is another great, helpful and simple lesson for me. I am 65 now and learned guitar just by listening music. I wish I had a teacher like you in my youth. Really love your Videos. Thank you very much 👍👍👍
Best lesson on hendrix major cords Marty👍
Wow it’s really been 3 years of me watching Marty music thank you so much for the tutorials, time to finally learn the theory
There is months worth of gold in this class alone. Thank you so much :)
Thank you! I noticed that it's also part of the pentatonic scale shape. I can't wait to try this!!
Correct. Anything using notes 1,2,3,5,6 of a scale will fit nicely in pentatonic shapes
Thanks Marty. A whole new level of respect for Mr.Hendrix. So much Jazz style influence here.
Ive been watching your videos since i got a hand ne down guitar from my brother when i was 16 about 12 years now, thanks for the hours of free education id like to think im a proficient player now and its moslty been thanks to your free tutorials and theory lessons. Peace and love from the uk

You took just 5mins to un-lock a whole area of new (to me) bluesy technique goodness for me to experiment with! Great work mate, thanks! For free too!!
The tone is beautiful with these chords
Glad to see you back, Happy New Year!
Major light bulb. Thanks man, now I understand why it works, as opposed to others who just tell you to go 2 frets up from the major shape. Cheers and happy new year
This lesson ties in great with the "UnCAGED" lessons on your site! Great lesson Marty! Chris aka "Scott" .
This was mesmerizing to watch! Great way to explain one of the quintessential Jimi techniques!
first watched this a few months back learning Jimi techniques & now I’m back trying to master those Stax r&b rhythm concepts.. thanks for this vid!!
You rock Marty! Thanks for the lessons. I am a jazz drummer from Puerto Rico and I picked up the guitar recently. I've learned a lot thanks to your videos.
Thanks Marty you made that actually make sense! I can really use this in my everyday playing. Best RUclips instructor on here mate, thanks
Hey Marty thanks for explaining not just how to do it but why it works musically great lesson thanks again
Great lessons. Been a follower and student for years. May the Schwartz be with you.
Dear Marty. I've been watching you for years. And personally you've helped me a lot, to play the guitar. This lesson really opened my mind to a new concept of soloing. ---Your loyalty fan
PS. My writing English is little rubies
I get SOMETHING out of every single lesson- you are appreciated Marty !!
Thanks for video Marty 😊🙏
That might be one of the best guitar lessons I have ever seen..Thanks
This is one of my favorite videos you've made. THANK YOU!
Crazy lesson. Really connects the relative minor shape to the A shape 5th string root. Ahh inversions were scary but I'v finally got one in my bag.
wow Im shocked that you're still doing what you're doing well done, I've been watching you're channel for about 6 years, you first taught me Johnny b goode and now Im rocking out to eruption, thanks marty
back when it was guitar jamz.com
Best lesson I've ever had!!!! Thanks for finally explaining the genius.
Your lesson for Yellow Ledbetter led me to this one. I heard Pearl Jams influence on the first hammer-on. Never been a huge Jimi fan, but it looks like Im going to become a new study. These inverted chords sound fantastic and is getting me out of a rut of making rhetorical barr chord sounds. Thanks Marty.
I think you read my mind with this lesson. I always wondered about the inverted chords. used, seen, and heard them played. never really understood the theory behind them. thanks....great lesson marty
Thanks Marty for all you do for us. Another eye opening lesson and you make it easy to understand as usual. Your right on time brother!
