After a 30 year hiatus your instructional videos have been an inspiration and have got me playing better than I ever did as a child. I picked up a Yamaha Pacifica a couple months ago and began playing again and just put an order in for a Fender Deluxe Player Strat two days ago because I've become completely addicted to playing due to your clear and entertaining videos. Thx very much Marty from an "old dog" who's learning new tricks. Konan Jones
I REALLY, REALLY need your lessons. I am 52 and I have been trying to learn for a few years now. These lessons will be just the thing to get me to where I NEED to be. Thanks for all you do to help those of us with a DREAM!!!
Marty, Every time I seem to hit a wall with my playing (almost a year and a half now) one of your videos always helps me break free of that. I play in a punk band, but only because my friends aren't into blues. Dan Auerbach inspired me to play guitar and you helped me learn where to start in playing my favorite style of music. Thank you. Brad Jones
I've been playing guitar for over 25-yrs. Marty and it's always refreshing to watch the wide variety of styles you seem comfortable in own your skin to teach - from Everly Brothers on a Martin acoustic to Buddy Guy on a a sweet American Std. Strat. Even old dogs like me can learn new tricks! Been a subscriber for 3-months now..
Heeyyyyyyyyy Marty! Well I have to say, you have improved my guitar playing 10 fold. I have only been playing for about 8 months and the feedback that I get from friends and family is astonishing. I owe it all to you. I have learned and progressed so much and I attribute most of that to your videos and lessons. Thank you so much for what you do! By the way, I am starting to learn guitar at 44 years old, I feel I am way behind and wish I had started a long time ago. Your lessons have really helped me make up for lost time. Thank you so much. Sent from my toaster.
I'm from Scotland, I'm 16 and I've been playing for 2 years now and that's also how long I've been subscribed to this channel. You've helped me advance so much from beginner to some more advanced techniques. I would love to have a copy of the blues master class lessons as I love the blues and you teach blues well.
Hey Marty. Thanks a lot for the lessons man... i am starting out on blues, and i really enjoy your style of teaching. I owe more than 80% of my guitar knowledge to you. Since i picked up it last year June, i watched and learned from a lot of your videos. "No woman no cry was my first song", you made it soo easy. M glad you havent gotten sick of it yet. Thank you very much for sharing your teaching abilities with us.
I picked up the guitar a year ago and have played nothing but the blues. Ive been learning from watching you. Ive been wanting your master blues set for quit sometime now I'd be honored if you would bless me with a copy of even your basic blues lessons. Jam on Marty, jam on.
Great stuff Marty, just like the other material I have purchased from you, It's like building blocks and suddenly I'm playing actual music. That's what I have found inspires and motivates me the most. Thanks for keeping me going.
been a fan of blues for many years, but thanks to you Marty I was able to actually start playing it all by myself! So whether I win more of your FREE lessons or not, thank you!
Love it Marty! I'm learning so much from you man. Best RUclips guitar lessons going around. Why can't everyone make it as simple yet fun as you do. Great lesson
I can't wait to try this one out! Since watching your videos on RUclips and on your website, I've learned so much! Easily the best teacher on youtube. Thanks, brah!
Been with ya since you taught me the pentatonic scales a few years back....you've been so much help to my playing and I'll always check out ur videos for some extra knowledge..... Marty, ur the man.
I don't really subscribe or comment very much on RUclips just lurk and watch. Finally subscribed to your videos and just wanted to say these videos are so helpful. I leaned a few acoustic from your vids and now I have an electric and loving these blues videos.
It's only been a year but because of your help I can play songs that experts can play I would stay practicing for over seven hours as soon as I got out of school it was straight to my room pls I Blues goes we'll with metal which is just....awesome possum
Thanx Marty. Especially helpful for me was to watch your right hand work. Can get the fingering right but getting consistent rhythm is still a challenge. Can see how important that is to the making this work.
Now we're talkin'! Thanks Marty. I've watched a hundred various videos, some to learn specific songs, but this is a foundational lesson, somethng I can build on. Its very daunting to attempt to learn an SRV song but this approach gives me an understanding of what's behind or underlying what he might be playing. Keep teaching us to fish! (Although I'll still come and ask you for a fish sometimes.) Thanks.
I absolutely love watching your videos I've learned more in a couple months of watching you than in a year of "formal" lessons I love play bluesy stuff and I hope you could do some southern rock lessons soon maybe some Skynyrd?? Thanks and I can't wait for your next lesson !!
Mucho gracias my man. Don't get a chance to practice with folks better than myself often, so your videos most certainly help me. Always a pleasure. Keep up the good work!🎼
Marty you keep on making videos because when I go on RUclips and see one of your videos is up I get my guitar and try and play along. Thanks again for making videos
I think it happens only once in a life, that on my birthday, January 8th, you are giving away your "Blues Masterclass" so i think it would be the best present i have ever been given for my birthday!!! :) So hope my comment will be one of those three o win, cause its very boring in my country, Lithuania, at this time of the year, when the re isn't any snow at all...:(
Sounds like a little Rude Mood at the end? One of my top favorite Stevie songs! Very helpful lesson, Marty. I've never come across someone yet who teaches like you, so thank you. Keep doin what you do!
That's a good video. I already knew this stuff but the videos where you show some licks, soloing or rhythm in style of other guitarists are pretty helpful. I really like those vids, because they help to make the soloing more varied. Great video :D
Nice man more blues I've watched over blues lesson you have you are the one who got me playing the blues I started at 15 and I'm now 17 please pick my comment man I really could use it
Great leason Marty. I have learned so much from you over the years. Thanks so much for all your healp and encouagment! P.S. A blues lesson box set would be awesome!
Wow. I commented as soon as I heard about the chance to win the DVDs. But after watching this vid (in bed) I had to say that it made me get up out of bed and and try this stuff. Awesome!
love the blues dude,it makes me feel great when i get the rhythm rite (i know it dont fit but hey thats how it makes me feel lol)..,keep them coming marty please
HI Marty, Great lesson love your videos especially the blues. What another great give away hopefully I 'm the lucky one this time. Thanks for all the great lessons keep the blues coming.
Hey, Martin. Loved your lesson, as usual. It added a lot to my skills and also to my confidence. Now, there is some amount of string ringing in these takes, right? That worked to me as a stimulus to keep my practice. You know... If even you face some ringing from time to time and it still sounds nice, I don't get too sick when it happens in my playing too. :-) Thanks for your lessons.
Marty!! Great lesson! You are my go to RUclips Dude guitar master. Thanks for the opportuniy to improve my git fiddling Skillz with your easy and enjoyable lessons. I WANT TO BE A BLUES MASTER TOO! Thanks Jay
Blues lessons would actually be helpful for my playing. I'm really sick of shredding sometimes, and blues is a style I'd love to learn besides my one blues scale in the first position.
Another awesome video Marty i have missed your blues videos recently. Also I'm looking to get into teaching guitar to kids in a few weeks too :D rock on
This time last year I started playing guitar and couldnt play anything... now? Now I can play:- Scales A & E 5 positions in the Key of E (with blues notes) 5 positions in the Key of A (with blues notes) Plus linking them together, up and down the fretboard and utilizing them to make MUSIC! A huge catelogue of chords in my arsenal including all the land of A7 and chords of the blues (one chord etc) and their barre chord variants.. plus using them effectively for rhythm and mixing into riffs. I can maintain and setup my guitar properly including intonation and action height adjustment.. (which I looked into after hearing Marty use the terminology) I can play songs by BB King, Albert King, Eric Clapton, SRV, Allman Bros, CCR, Bob Marley and much more. I tried to play guitar when I was 17 and pretty much gave up straight away until last year, I'm 27 now and I can't say enough how much Marty has influenced, tutored and more importantly inspired me to stick with it.. Playing the guitar is actually fun now, I've got past alot of the early frustrations that initially put me off and it's all thanks to the patience and sheer awesomeness of Marty. Thanks Marty... I'm ready and waiting to learn more now :D
