    MARTY! I've wanted to play the guitar my whole life but I was to busy being a grown up with to many responsibilities. I'm 71 now, and I'm glad I found you! I'm hooked, and I refuse to grow up any more. Looking forward to your lessons!!! Thank you, Rick

      Congrats! I'm 32 and just picking it up. Actually I started last year but gave up. Now i'm actually going to follow Marty's lessons and get this down! I'm on this video and I'll stay here until I can play these 3 with no problems at all. Then on to lesson 4.

Dude, you are by-far the best in the biz when it comes to guitar lessons on RUclips. I love how it's just one (or 2 easy) chords per lesson. Really gives us beginners the opportunity to focus on learning one thing at a time without being overwhelmed on day 2 lol. Just wanted to say thanks, you've been an amazing resource!

Aside from that exposure, I came from a background of piano and the guitar was always something I wanted to begin, but just couldn't seem to shift my thinking over from keys to strings. I have tried several times over the years and almost gave up, but since watching your first lesson, I am strumming chords and making music with an ease, confidence, happiness I've never felt before. Thank you, Marty, you are an incredibly insightful, fun, and inspiring teacher and I will recommend you to everyone I know.

The pace is just right for me, and the reassurance that everything will sound rubbish to begin with is very welcome indeed. Actually my G sounded all right straight off, and, listening to your comments, I found myself feeling pleased with myself that it wasn't too plunky!
    I must say I can't get the A chord to sound nice though. I'm finding a 2-1-3 fingering working best at the moment, but I'm still struggling to get my fingers reliably near enough to the fret without touching each others' strings. Bah!

      know this is really late but im in the same situation as you! (or should i say the situation you WERE in). can get the g chord relatively easy but the a major my fingers keep touching off other strings. I'm sure with practice I'll get better though :)

    Dude, You are the best!! And there's a lot out there. I'm an old guy who got discouraged at about 5 years old at a group lesson my 1st group lesson where the other kids were already playing. It was humiliating and I never returned. Now at 62, your attitude and method of teaching has me thrilled about playing. I play along with you for an hour at a time, until fingers are getting sore. Thanks a million!!

    Ok, I am hooked now. Have always avoided using a pick and strumming. So I went to fingerpicking. Pulled out the pick tonight and I am having a blast. What took me so long!

    One of the reason so many people like Marty's way of teaching is because of his happy and mellow nature....

    I’ve been playing guitar on and off since I was 6. A few years ago I got back into it and started relearning chords by looking up diagrams. I got much better than I ever was but since I taught myself I never found the right flow and sound. I decided to relearn everything using your videos and it has really been helping me, and this is someone talking with previous guitar experience, so I can’t imagine how many beginners you’ve helped. Thank you for teaching others and re-teaching me the beauty of this instrument that I fell in love with. You seriously rock!

  • @aideeileen-baz
    @aideeileen-baz Год назад +2

    You’re amazing! I learned the acoustic guitar in high school and somehow completely forgot. Here I am 6 years later trying relearn and you’ve made it so easy plus you include rock songs in your vids. Couldn’t be any better! Raaad. Thanks a ton!

    I'm recently retired ,brand new to this and moving ahead slowly, by lesson 3 I felt like I was getting worse. I then saw a video on finger stretches. I didn't play for two days but did the stretches 3x a day, it helped a lot. Maybe this will help other beginners. I'm liking your lessons, thanks.

    got a guitar about a year ago, it came with a book & dvd and I looked up a few easy songs but I could tell I didn't know what I was doing, never felt like I'd be dedicated enough to bother with actual lessons. I seriously thought I'd never get any use out of it. Found you just 3 days ago and can already see some improvement, thanks for posting these lessons.

    Wish I had you teaching me when I was fourteen. My uncle influenced me with his 10+ guitar collection but truly never really thought me correctly from the beginning. Now that I am 50 my love for guitar and getting back to it has been sparked again thanks to your beginner video lessons. I can’t believe how much I learned in these first three lessons and how your techniques and insights are helping me get back to playing right away. 👏

Thanks a LOT!!!!
