Hey marty i m a big fans and I just want you to know if you could Make hail cesar by acdc this would be great
Marty...Bought your 71% off Special. Didn't get my bonus'.. you included at $69.00 Your customer service got my purchase order by photo...then never fixed the problem. Surely you cannot appreciate their ignoring a loyal customer. Please post a REAL person to help! Thanks Bro..
Marty Music hello, I am learning how to play the guitar now for about a year. About 2 months ago, I learned some scale boxes and now I'm learning some beginner soloing techniques. I play a Stratocaster copy trough a nice 20 watt solid state amplifier. I'd like to buy one or two pedals just to smoothen up the sound a little bit (not looking for distortion), what pedal or pedals would you recommend? Thank you!
Yeah, can't pay for this kind of stuff. Everybody and their mother is selling it cause everyone seems their mother is seeking it. But you buy it and can never learn anything cause it's always just opinion. Have bought things in the past. The burned hard.
Do u do any video lessons
I'm a begginer acustic guitar learner n can't do full chords ..other learning systems I had trouble, too
... plz 😐😓got Keith Urban w DVD set , but that doesn't help either he goes right into chords ...went music store n got a grade 1st book ..but need to go furrher then that..tried you tube lessons..ect
Love where these videos are going. So many of us skipped the basic stuff and later get stuck because of not having a foundation.
ME. (Raises hand)
@@heyitsvonage2768 Me too
Me
and another !
Thank god I’m not alone
This sounds really basic but my mind just exploded by watching this
Donut Nub I know right!
Same here. That almost off handed remark about pretending your fretting hand index finger is the nut caused the light bulb to go on. Suddenly barre chords are easy to visualize and their fingering pattern makes perfect sense. Thanks Marty.
I had a really mediocre guitar teacher for about a year. Why didn't he teach me stuff like this? I've kind of figured a lot of it out on my own through just playing, but I've been playing nearly 40 years and it never really clicked quite like this. Amazing.
Mine too. And I always feel so stupid when it's supposed to be simple. Cause it's not ;)
Donut Nub was going to say the exact same thing. Eureka
Thanks Marty, the lights just went on. I am 70 this month, just started playing again after 40 some years and you have made my day !
Robert Figgis you’re a king bro
Pretty awesome! Inspiring. You 'rock'!
Robert Figgis I like Marty a lot he taught me a tons including a Beatles tune which I posted to RUclips ( well my fooling around with it) RUclips gave me a copy-write strike (but I probably have not learned my lesson; we will see) check out my fooling around that got me the copy write strikes thank you.
ruclips.net/video/Ge7eqCSGmWs/видео.html
KAMALA HEY! Beatle tune gave (tuvokspock@gmail.com) the idea for this video. - RUclips
Hey Robert, i hope you are still playing! Guitar is meditation to me and i hope its just as soothing and fun as it is for me for you! Happy playing Robert.
Have fun with it, Robert!
"What i wish i knew my first year of guitar"
1. To play
2. Also to play
Josko Bacic Marty taught me a Beatles tune MusikMan also helped out. I screwed around with it a lot really a lot, posted it and RUclips gave me copy-write strikes but give it a listen please. I do not know if I have learned my lesson from RUclips or not. Time will tell.

My mom no longer allows me to play smoke on the water or iron man lmao
She says people play them all the time
Mother may be right, why not step out of your comfort zone while also making your own personal experience more enjoyable to listen to for those around you who aren’t actively participating in your guitar playing
I've been watching Marty since I was 12 years old and I'm 27 now. 15 years of playing! It's amazing how our mind and muscle memory progress. When first starting I avoided the C chord like the plague and now it's probably one of the most used and easiest chords to transition to and between! Blows my mind to even think there was ever a point that I did struggle with that chord. So to anyone here that is brand new to guitar all I can say Is keep going and the struggle will become nothing but a silly memory of the past!
Haha, I used to struggle with the F chord. But with just a little effort and some pain I realized how easy it was to fit into my playing. I just made myself play more songs with it, and eventually problem solved
What's pretty awesome about this comment is that I started playing guitar and watching Marty at that time 15 years ago as well but I was 21 then and 36 now
Thx for the encouraging comment! I'm a beginner, and really struggle with the fingers. Calloused tips and wrist pain, make it hard to continue more than 30 min at a time. I hope to also get over this part, and be able to really play well without all the struggle and pain! 🙏 But also that my fingers/body memorizes each cord! 😉
Thanks tor this. I can’t wait until that day comes . I’m excited to actually play the guitar and not just make muffled strumming noises in spluttering spasms lol
It’s my 3rd day trying to learn guitar. Fingers hurt like hell, but I’m having a great time. I want to devour everything I can. I’ve wanted to learn for so long, and it’s finally happening.
4:40 “Yeah E minor alright yeah!!”
LMFAO
Patrick goes: 😴😴😴
I decided to pick up my guitar during this stay home order. I've practiced more in the last 7 days than I have in the last 10 years, and with your videos I'm enjoying it so much more than I used to. (Despite the pain that came with building up callouses on my fingertips)
Thanks for all the great videos. You have a new subscriber here.
You and me both! Same exact scenario here for me.
@@floridamortgagelender Me too! Crazy what a lot of time and isolation can get you to do!
@@jordandavis-miller2272 Work, gardening and guitar! Take care and be safe.
Now don't ever stop ;)
Yup, same here. I came here to learn how to play the song "I saw a tiger" after watching Tiger King, and have been hooked on his channel since then. This stuff is great
Dude, I genuinely wouldn't of been able to play guitar without you..
Thank you..
*have - use it!
Same
I think I improved already
@@RecTec77 honestly.
Same here buddy
Marty you are the best teacher I have ever seen. You have taught me how to play guitar in less than a year. I now know how to write my own songs and have learned a lot of the tunes I’ve wanted to play. I feel like I owe you money because honestly I could not have learned from anyone better. I wish you the best of luck. Thank you for everything you do.
You should go support Marty Music!
He really is a god sent
Yeah man you should go and buy some private lessons to support Marty. I plan on doing the same here when I scrape up some money
@@jasonrudisill2584 I did and now I feel like I can play any Hendrix tune. His lessons are more in depth and follow a logical sequence in "modules". They are worth saving for.
It’s crazy how he can teach a dog to play guitar
God damn. I've been playing for about 2 years now and this made it so me and my friend could start jamming together in the blink of an eye without just "echoing the same thing". Thanks alot :D
And when you start adding riffs and short solos with 2 guitars playing, you'll sound like a keyboard - it's such a full sound.
@@Mrbeahz1 Yea, totaly! I suppose I now got to learn how to come up with solos/ cool little riffs now.
You're lucky, none of my friends have that musical spark in them.
So freakin good!
It’s a bit overwhelming as I’m just getting started (3rd week in)
Don’t have an acoustic yet so learning on electric. Also, staring a bit late in life; I’m 70
Can’t wait to learn. Thank you for teaching us!
In less than a year I was able to get myself an electric guitar and I’m working on writing my own songs and playing music I never thought I could and I owe it all to you, thank you and I wish you the best
Writing songs is awesome. It adds a whole new element to guitar
Just stepped up to trying to write songs. It's frustrating but it is therapeutic for me.
Hey man I’m 11 and I can play all my favorite songs perfectly thanks to you
That's super rad!!
I can do that too, and I haven't even been born yet!
@@mikemichaels4500 must have been painfull for your mom to get the gear to you
TerraLuxo he’s allowed to be proud of himself
@@MICO-es3nt dude, how broken are you? :(
My father actually told me exactly this on the first day I started playing the guitar
lucky man hope you still enjoy learning new things , been playing years now and still learning
My old man did too, only I couldn't understand it at the time. That was twenty or more years ago. I can play chords and chord progressions and plenty of licks and riffs, but then life happened and I got super into skateboarding. Now in 38, still skating, but I just bought a Les Paul and and a blues jr and re-learning. I wish I payed more attention on theory instead of punk rock noise as I only want to play blues and sabbath now, lol.
@@harrysachs2274 hey, do you use your blue jr. in the house? I live in a townhouse and I’m trying to purchase an amp that sounds great even when turned down a decent amount, and I heard tube amps lose their magic when turned down bc the tube coils don’t get to heat up as much or something. Do you have any recommendations on what I should get?
@@Milr._jpg well i live in a regular house but i don't think it's that loud. I have my master volume and volume both set at 7ish. I use my guitar volume knobs for the actual volume of the amp. It would probably be perfect for your situation. You can crank the volume to break up and lower the master and use pedals and it'll still sound good. A good rule of thumb is that a tube amp will always sound better.
@@harrysachs2274 thanks so much! We’re there any other tube amps you considered before buying yours?
I decided to learn guitar after "Teen Spirit" came out in 1991 or so. Their are sooooo many more resources now! So much easier for new students.
Yes! Students nowadays are lucky
Back in my day, my walk to and from school was uphill both ways, in a snowstorm, and zombies chasing me.
@Cyberdemon Mike Not yet you can’t play, amigo!
@@herranton but were you barefoot?
@@saltypotatochip4707 jeez man, we weren't savages.
Marty is the man who knows what he's been missing
Many, many men can't see the open chord ....
He's made me wonder how much there is to know ... about guitar theory.
😂 Hey Marty...you got the theory I need. Maybe...more than enough.
Sorry. Couldn’t help it.
Nobody’s fault but mine.

MIND BLOWING I understand how it works now tysm marty
Honestly Marty, been watching you for about 6 months now, and You are the only person u can find on you tube that explains things in a way the beginner- novice player can follow along. Youve helped me get so much better these last 6 months and for that kind sir, i appreciate you!!! Keep em coming brother!
Marty that whole concept has been something that has been driving me nuts. Always trying to understand how players move their fingers up and down the fretboard and are playing another cord.
Thank you so much
This is my 5 month of learning the guitar and that was really really helpful, thanks Marty ❤️🎸
You rule, man. I bought a guitar about 2 years ago and you have taught and helped me so much in learning to play. It is now one of my go to ways to de-stress and calm myself down. Thank you so much for all you do.
I totally agree. Bad days for me are some of the best days to grab my beater and just turn the world off and hit some chords for a while. Therapy...
Same, I play hotel california, back in black, my girl and many more that I like on my guitar it really calms me down when I'm stressed out
Holy shit I've been playing piano 20 yrs and just picked up guitar for fun and this never occurred to me. My world has been remade
Hey man, just wanted to sincerely thank you good Sir. I am a life long rythym player and Soul singer. Finally dipped my toes into learning lead three years ago after someone sent me a link to one of your lessons. You rock Marty! Thank you
Just subbed to this channel watched guitar jamz for 2 years and have learned everything i know from you thank you for everything!!! You rock
Fantastic video Marty! I learned more in this 8 minute video of how the guitar and chords work than I have in years of trying to learn guitar. You really are the world's best guitar teacher.
Down with the flu today, no interest in picking up my guitar, but still wanted to learn something new. This video did that for me. Thanks a lot. Love the channel. Keep it up!
OH MY GOD THIS IS INCREDIBLE. This is the first time ive been able to learn the actual names of notes outside of the open chords. THANK YOU MARTYYY!
Extreeeeemely useful video, please keep those ones coming!
Yeah Marty!! I'm on my first year trying to learn acoustic guitar with your videos. This series is really helpful!! Continue your great work!!!
I've literally never seen such an easy to understand video that explains the basic chords soo easy!!! Absolutely mazing and thanks so much you have cleared a lot of things up for me! Why can't everyone teach like you?! Love this
Lightbulb popped in my head.. now I see why barre chords are so useful. The thing about you is that you just explain WHAT IT IS. You don’t throw us off with words like “mode, progression, key, triad” you just show us what it is directly, short and sweet. Thank you Marty. A dose of you and a bunch of books have made me understand theory in 10 months, which passed by fast as hell. Thank you.
VERY helpful for me to help turn my rudimentary chord knowledge into something more useful. THANK YOU MARTY!
I’ve always seen theses vids and never spent more that 30 seconds cuz all I wanna do is play. Now that I’m learning theory I’m struggling from what everyone is telling me than Marty explains it and now it all makes sense. Like it’s crazy how this is free bless Marty and the supporters
I just found out how much I really enjoy playing with this old cheap electric guitar and been teaching myself from a book and just having fun and I ran into 1 of your videos and u are an amazing person and I just wanted to thank you. Hope you see this . Your too cool
As a noob I’ve been getting bits and pieces of full step, half step, this is the same as that, etc... but nobody has explained this better than you just did. I learned as much in 8 minutes just now as I have in the last month. Thank you so much.
Congrats on the article about yourself in Taylor Guitars Wood and Steel. You're moving on up to the big time!
Hey thanks so much Pat!
Ooh, I missed this. Good for Marty!!
I don't think anyone can find a better guitar teacher in person or on RUclips. It doesn't matter if you've never picked up a guitar before or if you've been playing for years... Marty just has a way of teaching that makes it easy and fun to learn guitar. Keep it up Marty!
Songman_sam Jorge Aguilera haha
That’s officially (for me) your greatest video! I’m a self-taught player these last 15 years and this is exactly what I needed to help wrap my brain better around the fretboard as a whole.
This was a great piece of knowledge man.....my mind just exploded
Lightbulb moment! Lots of parts of the guitar playing jigsaw puzzle just fell into place. Thanks Marty.
Actually shit myself when you played the G and A chord on the second fret, 6 years into guitar and i cant believe i looked over this
Might want to check out the CAGED system if you don't know it already!
What other things cause you to poo your pants?
Simply amazing Marty!
It's all starting to make sense now! This has to be the most simple, straight to the point, easy to understand explanation on theory that I've seen!
I can see why you wish you knew this as a beginner, this will help me a great deal. I’m about 4 months into learning and your videos are very helpful. I am getting small break throughs every day just from an hour or so each day. Thanks Marty.
I love these kinds of videos, Marty! Sometimes its hard to find anything more than beginner videos.
I'm about ten months in, been such a fun journey so far, Ive been playing barre chords for about 4 months now which is ice. I don't really have a practice schedule though, I just pick up and play whatever I feel like which I plan on changing in the new year. Much love Marty
I started playing in 1990. And in the last 4 yrs of watching you marty and others. My basic theory has exploded. Now I had to do the work, playing 2 to 5 hrs a day.( I'm handicapped, accident at work) so I had the time. But it's these you tube gurus who have helped. Back in 1996 I would've had to take lessons in another city so I was left in the small open chord room. With no chance to escape. Now thanks to Marty and all his contemporaries. I can hear a song and usually pick out the key, then with my circle find the progression. So, thanks Marty
I bought my first guitar a few days ago and your videos have been so digestible and simple for me to understand. My friend said I've already made a month's worth of progress just by going through your videos!!! You da man
Thanks!!! I am a self taught acoustic guitarist. I play rhythm by finger picking and strumming without a pick. I seem to learn things a bit backwards (just learning to play with a pick). So, since I learned to play my first song from you, and many since then, (thank you, by the way,), I thought "if I'm going to try and learn more about playing, scales, theory, etc... I should learn them from you." Thank you for being straight to the point, going slow and explaining what you're doing without over explaining!!! You're the best!!! \m/
Woah thanks Marty, I've been teaching myself, and this has blown my mind, I'm learning pentatonic shapes now, rather than just following tabs, still having trouble memorizing so much, but this really helps.
I'm 54, been playing for 6 mos. now, I was discovering this concept yesterday and today you clarified it for me. I really want to say thank you for the past half year because you are my main man (teacher). I've learned a lot from you and I have progressed, all due mainly to you, so much appreciated Marty. 👍
Thanks to the tuner that came with my acoustic, I recently realized this, pretty cool! And yes, 51yo SLOWLY learning from the beginning. Love your channel. A guy I worked with, Pat turned me on to you. Thank you for all the videos man!!!
My mind was just blown. My brother is about12 years head of me in guitar playing. I see him play little chords like that high up that match my simple chords I know how to play.....now I know what he's doing!!!!!!!!! This channel rocks. Subscriiiiiiibed.
I really like these simple music theory videos. It's something I've just started to look more into so it helps a lot!
This blew my mind, I've been watching you for along time and this is my favorite lesson so far, very very helpful!!
Easily the most useful guitar lesson I've ever had! since watching this I now have been able to find most notes and play the entire neck of the guitar. Thanks Marty
My mind is now completely blown in a good way! Thank you Marty for showing me the way.
I am 35, I started playing guitar when I was 12. My parents saw I was scary good at the violin and had all my music memorized for most concerts. So they got me a guitar knowing I was a huge fan of the guitar having ZZTOP as one of my favorite bands. I absolutely wish I had this kind of a lesson right away. You are showing how to manipulate theory in ways the master's do, not simply going, oh memorize all this and that. Very smart lesson giving great examples putting Jimmy Page in there was brilliant.
Absolutely...abbsooofknlootli..lol!! What was just said.. I too am older now not going to say my age haha but yeah Marty is a great teacher I love his style I love his taste in music and the man knows his stuff point blank. Long Live Marty😣🤪
I love the beautiful simplicity of your playing. Thanks ♥️
I'm so glad these videos are still here! Thanks Marty!!
wow. now I know what my son was thinking about when he just looked into space while learning guitar. He was figuring out the shapes and patterns. I am a few months in @ age 57.5. This is the perfect compliment; now in an hour long session, I will split time between learning or practicing a song and learning this kind of basic theory. A nod to you Marty.
Thanks, again, Marty. I’ve learned SO much from you! Keep up the great work!
Great video, exactly what I needed to map the guitar. Thanks man! Blew my mind.
This is awesome. Learning guitar atm and this has explained a lot for me in such a simple and easy to understand way. Thank you so much x
Perfect timing! Started learning guitar a few weeks ago :)
Great video man! These concepts lead to less efforts needed to be put in while playing a guitar, you can group different voicings of chords and get them all together in one place and play an entire songs with minimal travel between the frets. Sadly i got to know this information around 4 years into my guitar playing.
Man RUclips has totally changed my life when it comes to guitar. I remember struggling for days trying to get tabs down. I'm a visual learner and this channel has helped tremendously. Also playing with others really helps if you can.
The most mind blowing learning experience of my life. I know this isn’t your original theory but you introduced it through my “one day I will play this song.” Thank You (and I’ll learn that one too!)🙏
Honestly this has been such an eye opener I really wish someone taught me this sooner, thanks Marty!
this taught me more in 8 minutes than any 30 minute video ive ever watched
Love this especially when you talk about barre chords. Instead of having to google a bar chord, I now understand how to make barre chords. Excellent, sir. TY.
Absolutely brilliant. Was wondering how I would remember every note and chord. Makes so much sense. Thanks Marty.
Thank you so much for this lesson Marty. I’ve always thought music theory would be way too difficult for me. But you have a way of explaining things that makes it fun and interesting and thought provoking. I’ve been a subscriber for many years and in my opinion you are the best with camera angels and explanations. Cheers my friend! I live in rural Florida but hope to meet you some day and thank you in person. Rock On Brother
🤯
I've learned many Songs to play from you. So my opinion is, that your kind to teach and explain is very actual. I play Guitar since 4 years. ( i started with 50 years).
Most of the Songs i try to play is from your lessons. So i hope you continue this for long time. 🤘🤘🤘🤘 Dirk ( sorry for my english. I'm from Germany.),Dirk
I love this guy , so talented and so kind but most of all , he’s a great teacher too
Marty music I am learning to play and you are the only teacher I watch. Things are broken down for slow folks like me. I have watched other people trying to teach and they just don't connect with me. Thank you for what you do and for slowly revealing new techniques at a learnable rate.
Just started learning and this is so mind opening
I've needed to hear this for 17 years
Can’t believe it. This just literally blew my mind! How simple and yet something that I haven’t learnt before and I’ve been playing for 2 years. I would look at tabs to find the chords. Thank you so much.
This barchord concept, Emaj to Fmaj was so mindblowing. Always played it, never thought about it. Thanks Marty!
This man deserves an award for the greatest guitar teacher. He always makes everything so simple its amazing!
''Shimery shapes '' how handy are they!!! Never even thought about em' Great stuff Marty!
I have learned so much from your vids!!! LOVE your help brother!!! TY!
You just made so much make sense with chords. You also just saved me a ton of time learning shapes. Now I'm gonna re approach guitar.....again.
Wow, I’m a beginner and this literally just blew my mind. Makes so much more sense now!!
if you play electric learn purple haze by Jimi Hendrix. it taught me alot and made me feel more comfortable playing
@@formidability5631 thank you!!
@@emilymcnaughton8905 although stairway to heavens a bit of a meme, there is some fundamental chords and can teach you how to finger pick :)
@@formidability5631 thanks for the tips! I started learning purple haze and it’s such a fun one to play! I will put stairway to heaven next on my list :)
Something I just learned after all of these years that relates here - each major chord is only 3 notes (1-3-5 of the scale) and you can combine those 3 notes anywhere on the fret board. I came from the pentatonic minor scale but never really learned the major scale or backing theory, so that has really helped me out - might help out some other intermediate learners out there.
That's why it's called a triad if I recall correctly...
Thanks dude, great lesson! This video will help me advance extremely. I've only been playing a few months and you just gave us about a 30 chord library 🤘
Really cool I just started learning and I’ve only been learning open chords. So to see where else I can take them really helped 🙌🏽
Marty, you are my guitar teacher. Thank you for all your video.
Couple more thoughts: first, thank you for showing us the D minor and how it transposes up to E minor, etc. It sounds stupid, but I wondered if it worked that way for minor and other chords like if you move up from an E to the F major, for example. Also, it may be a great series of videos to put out called "what I wished I learned in my first year of guitar" like this one. Thoroughly enjoyed this and solved a major question for me. Thanks, and sorry for the multiple comments.
Dave Clelland ?
@@daveclelland1188 where in the comment is "your" used? And where should " you're" be inserted?
Thanks you been playing for awhile really opened my eyes to new concepts
Wow. I am watching this vid and listening over and over. It really helps the music make sense!
Can't believe I'm nearly 50 and didn't know this stuff. Genius.
Can you do a lesson on Hammer on’s and Pull off’s?
Oh my god the hammer pulled you off?
@@Rywar309 another day another doug
Rywar309 Something like that
Ain’t that pretty forward? Just hammer on, and pull of? Ain’t much theory to it.
i can teach you how to hammer on and pull out..
Just a terrific teacher of basic guitar theory. And he breaks it down to make it as simple as possible to understand....and he makes it FUN!!! Marty is truly the best.
Thanks for vid! Great teaching. Cool to hear how you can get those notes in so many ways!
One thing I also discovered recently when I was teaching a student barre chords is that if you take an E string rooted barre chord and just move your index finger to the B string, you get an open chord style that you can play to make it easier for people who can't play barred stuff. And if it's an A string rooted chord then you move your barred index finger to the high e string. So I discovered this because my student asked me why she can't play the F chord with his three fingers on the higher strings and I told her she could then I was messing around and discovered that.
Marty, when did you start playing guitar and what are the most useful things you’ve found to really take you to your next levels of learning?
Love what you’ve been doing in your videos! You are a great teacher. I have been able to use what I learn in your videos with what I am learning in my lessons and have been able to grow exponentially compared to what I get from just a half hour lesson! Keep it up man!!!
Great video, Marty! I never "clicked" the idea of all chord patterns repeating across the fretboard before, but it makes total sense! A whole new array of chords right away here, thank you kindly! :)
