Just wanted to say thanks for basically teaching me guitar from the age of 14 im now 21 and still watching, cheers Marty !
Glad to hear it!
This what its all about. Cheers to all!!🍻
Me and you have basically been playing the same amount of time and I’m now 21 as well, Marty’s been the man! lol God bless everyone in Jesus Name.
@@matthewhosea4144 YESSSSSIIIIIIRRRRR!
Just started and I’m 14 right now. I know for a fact I’ll still have Marty when I’m 21 though!
my friends to me - you never had lessons, but you play nicely, you're gifted...
Deep inside me - thanks Marty
Your friends need to learn what the Internet is.
Deep inside me 💀💀
What
PAUSE
😂@@noahposadas1327
History will speak of your kindness, patience, and love for what you do. Honored to have started my guitar journey learning from this guy! Blessings Marty!
Thank you so much!
Truly! Whenever anyone asks me how I learned to play guitar I tell them about my amazing teacher Marty.
TOTALLY!!!! Marty is THE MAN!!!!
Commercial: Are you tired of trying to learn to play guitar by watching random videos on RUclips
Me: Obviously not, trooper. Now go away and let the man do his thing.
He’s awesome teaching all of this stuff, he does it well, and it’s FREE!
@@bruh_moment8734 nothings ever free. Marty absorbs babys soul with every watch he gets. Facts
@@honestrat4935 You are 100% correct. I took Free Enterprise in school, and our instructor started the semester by saying "Nothing is Free". We all tried to come up with something through out the semester, to convince him there was something free, and he always proved to us that whatever we brought up, wasn't free.
C Major Scale: 2:57- Shape #1
E string- 8(C), 10
A string- 7, 8, 10
D string- 7, 9, 10(C)
G string- 7, 9, 10
B string- 8, 10
e string- 7, 8(C), 10
-In the Major Scale there is always one string that only has 2 notes in it.
-Always try to end on a C note when practicing the scale.
hi - Is this CMajor or EMajor because I see the first note is C and not E. Please let me know.
@@1212wolverine it is c major scale...you start at c and the whole or half step is counted after the starting note. The starting note represents the scale.
@@pushpakgupta7396 thanks Pushpak.
Wondering why the "e string 10" is on there if it ends in C? Isn't that a D note?
From a self taught guitarist… thank you for putting out all of these awesome videos. A year and a half ago I picked up a guitar for the first time and I was so clueless on how to even start, or if it was even something I could get good at. I pulled up your Beginner Electric guitar video and the rest is history. I’ve been stuck on trying to learn scales and all the positions etc because everyone seems to make it complicated. So thank you for always going the extra mile to break everything down and most of all for being so passionate about it!
Don't try to learn too much at once. Practice your pentatonics and give it time to sink in 🖤
I love your last name as it reminds me of Sturgill Simpson. If you are not familiar with him, check him out. Great post by the way...Marty has helped me alot. I don't know your age but, I grew up in the 70's and to learn guitar, it was totally on you. You needed a good instructor or you were at the mercy of playing albums and guessing alot.
If your watching videos and reading books then your not self taught. Dont flatter yourself
The major and minor scales are at the root of all interesting modes and scales, and chords! Awesome work man!
The minor scale is just a mode of the major Ionian scale, it's the Aeolian mode.
The minor scale is the Aeolian scale. Same notes just starting on vi, or, A. right?
@@ek-ym6yy Yup, It's the C major scale starting on the vi degree. All scales are just modes of the major scale.
This is mostly true. But there are lots of other scales outside of tonal music.
Marty, I’ve been learning from you since I was 8 years old (2009) learning come as you are from you. Didn’t get serious till I was 14 (2015) and went right back to you. I’m 22 now, and you’ll always have an important role in my life
Thanks for watching and supporting MartyMusic! I've also got a bunch of FREE courses at my site www.martymusic.com
Marty has single handed trained a generation of guitarists 😂. You’re the best man, thanks for all you do and the lessons 🤘
I started watching Martin at 30 years old, never picked up a guitar and wanted to know how to play so I could teach my son to play guitar. I'm now 38 and back here to learn more than just G, A, D, E, C, Em, F. Thank you man! 🎸🤘
Sending love from Greece, to the best guitar teacher there is! You taught an old dog a bunch of new tricks! Thanks
Man! He really is. I never knew anything about guitar or music. Picked up a guitar at 25 Marty showed me the way!
@@Greentunic84 same boat as you! 25 years old and finally decided to pick up the guitar. Marty is the best teacher to have on RUclips as far as I know.
@@ryantroiano2463 Totally. I only ever achieved intermediate status haha but I'm happy with that. Marty got me there super fast with his lessons.
ετσι ειναι ακριβως φιλε μου!
I’m offended there’s even the option to dislike Marty’s music😒
Ikr
It's just an upside down thumbs up!
Jack Maxwell I bet you’re really fun at parties!!!
This comment aged poorly lmao
@@potatoman7979 right😂😅
Thanks Marty! I've been a trumpet player for about 10 years, but only just started learning guitar (mainly just for the fun of noodling around to stuff I listen to😂). You explain stuff so clearly and you have a truly infectious personility! I love how your videos always reinforce the idea that learning, teaching and playing an instrument is - for many people including me - primarily about having fun. The joy and passion you have for teaching and playing guitar really comes across in these videos, which makes them a pleasure to watch!!
When it comes to Marty's educational prowess of the Axe...All one has to do is observe the name on the amplifier...
Good one Marty. As a guitar teacher my main quick tip for students who found playing something over a Happy chord progression difficult has always been.. PLAY THE PENTATONIC SHAPE - 3 FRETS DOWN from the root of your home chord. No shapes, because that's called MODES. just the pentatonic. Instant country, instant paradise city, instant Knockin on heavens door! As someone who learnt guitar during the late 70s metal revival I appreciate that cissy, soft, happy gets ignored!
I am fairly old Marty but I am trying learn and can now play a couple of songs because of you. Thank you.
Marty, ever since i picked up my guitar(4 years ago) i’ve been watching your videos. i have grown and learned so much. thank you for everything, for teaching us how to ROCK!!!!!!!!! you are truly one of my hero’s.
Thanks for putting out these videos Marty. I’ve learned how to play some songs here and there but have realized the importance in mastering the fundamentals; especially for older players starting out. I appreciate everything you’ve done for this community and hope you keep rocking for many more years.
Came here after watching a more theoretical video about this scale and how to build chords from it. I totally appreciated your "freestyle" approach, I'll practice that to learn a bit of improvisation. The loop pedal deserves some props too
Marty you got me started playing guitar 13 years ago thank you for the great videos over the years.
It would be great if you make a theory roadmap video series for self taught guitarists like me. Thanks for the lessons sir Marty. You're doing such a great job, love your videos.
Check out an instruction book - Fret Board Roadmaps.
Marty is one of the few RUclips guitar teachers who actually posses the skill to teach
Okay, so maybe this sounds weird but I have never understood scales until I heard you sing them out. I mean, I played saxophone in school, I've dabbled with guitars for years and kinda go by ear and found scales daunting. Hearing you sing them out while you plucked the string really opened up the fretboard for me! Thanks for that! I don't find scales quite so daunting as I can't sing them in my car on my commute and them come home and figure out the pattern on the fretboard.
It’s so fun learning from someone interested and genuine about everything guitar. Thanks for the continued great content over the years, can’t wait to see what the future holds for you and your channel!
My pleasure!
I started up guitfiddlin after a break of 15 years after my 5th band broke up. Loving all the youtube tutorials these days I never had. You are on the top of my list. Mainly because you take it slow, move your hand out of the way and repeat everything a few times. Very easy to understand. Great work
As I wander along at age 78 starting the guitar when I was 25 I made most of my advances in the last 10 years thanks to Marty and tremolo guitar store in Kalamazoo I buy and sell used guitars I've been learning to be a loser by good ones and I've taken quite a few lessons from Marty and from Scott at tremolo guitars who has had some wonderful collections of Gibson's fenders after 7 years
FINALLY!!! I WAS WAITING FOR THE MAJOR SCALES VIDEO! HATS OFF TO YOU MARTY!! ❤️🔥🌹
Glad you liked it!!
Scales are not only for fish, they are for guitar players too. Marty just keeps on teachin'.
In addition to all the great cover songs you do. This major scale helps alot. I usually do 1 4 1 4 and 2 3 alot. The looper is a great way to practice keys
this is how i learnt to play at music school they did not use petatonic just major scale i love it . this playing is so much more meaning full than shreading petatonic sounds thank you marty from somerset uk
I really wish there were more on the major blues. That's always a lovely key to be in.
thanks marty, im 14 and i started guitar about 2 months ago, this is my first scale im learning!
This guy is the most iconic guitar youtuber ever
Coolest thing is when it comes to playing over the major scale and it doesn't matter what key you're in it applies in any key..... if you move your root note on the low E string down three frets, you're then in position one of your relative minor scale. So for example if you're playing in C major as Marty is here, move your C on the low E string down three frets to the A note and boom, there's your relative minor, the A minor scale =P
Long story short is if you're practicing over a jam track you're not restricted to playing just the major scale you can also use the relative minor. And why is this? it's because the relative minor of a key uses the SAME NOTES as it's respective major =P This is something I'd recommend everybody seriously look into and learn because it's one thing that truly blew the fretboard wide open for me as a developing player.
Marty if you're reading this, I'd love to see you do a video to really show first hand what I'm talking about here =) You could kind of do that as an extension to this video if you wanted to =P I know you got probably 50 thousand other videos already lined up in your schedule to do but yeah just a thought man... Rock on!
Excellent explanation! It needs to be demystified, as you've demonstrated so succinctly. Props!
One of the best. Have learned so much watching your videos. From a guy who just plays by ear unable to understand tabs and stuff. God bless you and thank you
Thanks Marty, exactly what I needed to tie some things together. Easy to understand and, as always, expertly explained. And thanks for what your doing with Gibson on the music in schools, truly noble, I applaud you. I will be making that donation because of your channel.
You said with the root on Low E but played C major beginning on the 8th fret. Low E wasn't even part of the scale. You'll only confuse beginners this way. E is the third degree of c major no matter what. If you begin and end Cmajor on E you will have phrygian mode. By the way......Am is always the relative minor of c major. No matter what key you are in you can always find the relative minor by going down a full step and a half.
I’m a beginner and this was not confusing at all. He was just referring to which string to start on, the low E as opposed to the high E. The 8th fret on the on the low E is C, so it all made perfect sense. I don’t think the E note had anything to do with this lesson. He was just helping people find their starting place. Just a hunch here, but I’m guessing you’re quite an advanced guitar player.
Low E is not a note but the thickest string.
He said with the root on the Low E (string) and he played C major beginning on the 8th fret (of the Low E string), which he did nothing wrong.
“Low E wasn’t even part of the scale.” This sentence doesn’t make any sense. Lol.
There’re many notes on the Low E string that are part of the C major scale. I hope you’re not confused anymore.
They should add Marty Schwartz to the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" for teaching millions of people !!! His Kung Fu is so powerful!!! Thank you Marty !
Saludos from Spain, you are by far the greatest guitar teacher I’ve ever had, in person or on youtube. GRACIAS!
I love Marty, and watched him for years... he helped launch Tim Pierce, and Bret Papa, etc...
Marty, I started watching you a year ago when I started my guitar journey, thank you for everything brother. You're the man!!!!
this is exactly how i learned my minor pentatonics, just practicing some blues chord progressions helped me find the melodic phrases and repeating sounds
Wow thank you for that video I'm trying to learn how to play guitar I must have watched 50 other videos about scales and I just wasn't getting it but your video has finally turned on the light
LOVED your opening solo.
I come back to you over and over. Thanks dude
Am appreciating too like others
It's almost a year since I started learn . I've never attended a physical class. But Marty has been my class
Where were you and RUclips in the early 90s? Kids (and adults) don't know how good they have it!
The first video I watched of yours was the "time of your life" tutorial , and I've been watching since then . I really wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
do re mi fa so la ti "d'oh"
I've been watching you for about 6 years now. Your a really good teacher thank you!
My fourth video on this scale, and the only one of the four that actually taught me how to do it. Thanks, Marty!
Marty = legend really simple to learn
Would love to see a breakdown of the intro to almost ready by dinosaur jr.
Mahalo Marty, this is awesome...I can see where I can do this major scale up and down the fret C, B, A, G. All good. Thanks for the inspiration!
Rock on!
Sounds like an extended Grateful Dead solo and I like it! Well Done.
Jerry favoured the mixolydian scale which is the major scale with a flat 7.
I don’t know if you did that on purpose but the ad started right after you finished teaching the scale. I appreciate you not putting it while we were learning the scale. Thanks
Marty I just got a looper pedal from mrs. clause. this is exactly why I got it- to expand my skills- got rhythm down pat, need that solo ability and this video was super awesome to get me started! Thanks my man. been watching you for many years. in fact- I owe my fan favorite (around the campfire) piano man cover to your lesson! cheers my man happy new year!
Great lesson! You really know how to explain it simple enough so that a beginner can learn without feeling rushed. Thanks for sharing! From the commentsi have read, there are so many people who really appreciate what you do
First thing I do every friggin day..noodle around with scales ,for at least a 1/2 hr or so ,to get warmed up..You gotta do ‘em…👍💯
Excellent info! I definitely use your videos as reference when I need to refresh and prepare for gigs!
Give this man a medal
Definitely the Best teacher I've came across, you make it easy to learn & understand.
Much Appreciated 🤘🏼
Love your channel Marty! Years folloeing you from other channels. Hope you expand this concept, it's REALLY helpful. Be safe man.
Marty I have to say, I feel like you’re the only man that can effectively pull off a fedora.
we love you Marty. thank you.
Gosh, you didn't have to flex on us so hard with that 1 minute intro :D
Major scale master! Cheers Marty!!
Marty always makin my day
Thanks Marty. I would love more help on determining WHAT "scale" for A song. Hope to possibly see a VID about this. Thanks for all you do!
Dope as solo, loved it!
Thank you!!! Just learned the first shape and am already so eager to learn more. Been playing guitar on and off for a while. Lost motivation to continue, but your videos are very straight forward. Thank you my guy!
You make it easy for an older beginner...thanks much
Marty bringing yet another gem of a lesson to us, thanks for all that you do Marty! I appreciate every lesson you deliver :)
I’m beginning to understand more and more about the guitar from you Marty! Thank you. Keep on jamming!
Rock on!
Marty you the man! Would really enjoy a video explaining how or where the minor scale is inside the marjor.
Thank you good sir. You’re awesome.
I thought for a moment Jerry Garcia had taken over your channel. Nice video.
Marty with his ES 335 gift.... nice, I got one my dad gave me from 1981.... I believe on your video from the Gibson plant every ES 335 was made from the same press. Interesting!
Very cool!
The demo at the beginning sure had a Duane Allman / Dickie Betts kind of feel to it....Enjoyed it!
Holy crap. Your introduction is spot on to where I am. Those pesky pentatonics are coming along, and I hear about those other modes. I was just introduced to the Major scale and wow, there seems to be way more options!
Thanks for this! It goes great with the lesson Chris gave on your channel the other day and is exactly what someone at my level needs.
Thanks brother!
I am a very new guitar player, loving the videos. Very helpful. Would love a lesson on Lynyrd Skynyrd All I Can Do is Write About It (acoustic). Thanks for all the great content Marty!
Welcome to the world of guitar playing. There's lots to learn but Marty Music is a hell of a good place to start =P
Forget about PewDiePie. Marty is who you really need to be subscribed to =)
Literally just may have explained everything I needed to know all the notes up and down the fret board 🎉🎉🎉 thank you 🙏
The major scale rules them all.
That was so brilliant, from the original A C D G E F Chords and the Blues and the lessons I have followed, this brings so much more together in my understanding of sweet, sweet Music. Thank you ever so much for your easy to follow lessons. Best ever progression in my mind from the past 2 years of learning.
Thanks Marty. Appreciate the help
always blessed to be able to log on and watch a marty music video. millions and millions of people have learned how to play thanks to this dude!
Crazy how good those Boss amps are!
These videos are really helpful, I've already learned a few songs from them. Please keep making more!
Exactly what I have been looking for. Please do the other positions as well. Thank you again!
Moments of guitar clarity by the master. Thank you Marty!!
Love your channel, you are the guitar ambassador on youtube, i did learn the 5 major scales on the neck, but now I am boxed in, I am looking to learn the neck of the guitar, playing any where on the neck. Do you have a video that teaches how you move around on the neck easily?
Jerry Garcia played major scale almost all the time. When Marty plays his licks at the top of this vid, he does sound
like Jerry. Jerry also loved the Mixolydian mode, which is the diatonic major scale with a flat 7 note instead of the
major (natural) 7.
Great things to learn. It will you stand out more than using pentatonics only
Thanks Marty! Really helpful 🎸 Loved your older vids!!!!!!!!
Yo! Much love, man. I deeply enjoy your videos and learn so much!
Hey Marty,
what's your take on using the metronome to practice scale?
Nothing wrong with that
- Marty
Love your videos! Keep going!
this man put so many songs into my fingers i gotta thank him for making me pick up a guitar in the first place❤️
MARTY DA GOAT 🐐
