    Staying in the minor pentatonics something that helped me at the beginning was learn the root arpeggios for each position in each shape.

      Well, i've been playing for 20+ years and never learned how to solo. But that's why im here i want to learn. I always figured i needed to know how to read music and know music theory. Which i don't but at least with lessons like this i can learn the patterns and maybe a few scales.

    Marty- I just wanted to share my appreciation to your RUclips channel. I have been playing guitar for about a year now - I took lessons which didnt help me much. But after a year of watching your videos I can honestly say that I can play over 80 songs now and have made leaps and bounds in my abilities. Thanks man - I look forward to continuing to follow you and learn

    Marty Schwartz, you're the reason why I didn't quit guitar 10 years ago. My favorite video still is the one where you teach smells like teen spirit with a duck face and you start doing the duck sound. That cracked me up but left a lasting impression on me. I'm so happy to see you're still creating new generations of guitarists. Thanks for all the work you do.

    Honestly, this made such a difference.
    Learnt the 5 positions on pentatonic and a couple different modes but I didn't quite know how to use them! Was stuck in such a rut with it, I have a lot of fun still and get lost in playing alot but couldn't get anything to consistently sound great.
    Great lesson, great tips! Now I can break that next wall and make what I've learnt more useful.

    Marty, you are an Awesome guitar instructor !! You are so much better than so many who don't take the time and detail or go slow enough that you do to progress a student through ! Others may go too fast or don't take the time to show specific notes and progressions the way you do . You simplify it well and lay it out so you're easy to follow ! I have played awhile and had lessons, which helps, but your instruction sheds new light for me on how to have fun continuing to learn ! Thank you for your excellent guidance, Marty !

    Marty, from the bottom of my heart and at the upmost honesty, you are the reason why I still even play guitar. First song I ever learned, which is weird, was master of puppets. And to any beginners reading rhis comment, start with a hard song. It sounds weird, but trust me, it will improve you greatly, and I started with alot of these more intermediate or advanced songs, and learnt the easier songs later down my road, my point is if you want to be good, learn hard songs off the get-go, as you will be amazing, first few years of playing guitar started in 2019, I was 11, and was really into metallica, so naturally, I learnt my favorite bands songs, map, was my favorite, so I learnt it, every 5th fret of each string, is the open note of the next string higher, (example, low e 5th fret is the same note as open a note.) Which I used to my advantage. I didn't start map on 7th fret a string, i started on 12 fret low e, went down to 2nd fret. That's called music theory, and it's crucial, and it's the first important thing I did, and learned and still use. But I also used a string for more compact shapes, as playing 5 frets ahead for a complex shape to alternate is counter-productive, so use it when necessary, but I really couldn't learn half the brain I have without this man. He changed me and shaped me into the guitarist I am today, and tomorrow since it's night for me, I'm going to learn solo stuff as it's been on my bucket list for a while. So, love yall, love ya Marty, anyone who's playing guitar, never give in, and keep going, and same with you Marty, keep rocking, anyways, I'm off, peace everybody.
