It's hard not to like Marty's videos if you play guitar. Cuts to the chase, excellent explanation of fretwork, and videos are easy to follow. Plus he seems like a cool guy, which make me keep coming back for more.
Marty! Almost two years ago I bought an electric guitar, and an acoustic from a flea market. When our second daughter was born I realized - it’s now or never if I ever wanna learn guitar. So in my precious freetime between work and children I took my first shaky steps on the path. I quickly found your beginner-courses on electric (and acoustic) guitar and found them extremely good, easily the best on RUclips. After those intro-courses I kinda got lost on my own songs I wanted to practice on and had Tabs to aid me. Today I’m still not good by any means, but the difference is huge. And I wanted to learn Mississippi Queen. And who provided the best course with correct tabs? You’re the best Marty!
Marty can we just take a sec. To really appreciate that Gibson les Paul that you have in your hands..My dream guitar right down to the color..keep killing it with the lessons. Just like a lot of the comments. I've learned so much from you my man. Not having the disposable income. Your lessons never fail.. Thanks again from the heart ♥️😎🎸🎶🎧🔊🔉🖤🎛
People can say what they want about “dad rock” but it paved the way. I’m younger than when the so called genre was produced but I was definitely raised on it. Which created a backbone for my playing
‘Dad Rock’ is just a BS thing that some immature person made up, who is most likely too insecure to admit that they actually like real music from past decades. After most people get past their twenties, they realize that a decade isn’t really that long, and they gradually stop feeling like a difference of a decade or two makes something ancient. The real musicians today, who are lucky enough to have one or two hits, still aspire to get be the kind of solid players who have played in bands like Pink Floyd, the Allman Brothers, Stones, Mc Cartney, The Who, etc. Roger Daltrey just played his own concert in England, last night, 7/12/22. Pretty good- for a guy who has been at it since the early’60’s.
Leslie Wesr was one of Randy Rhoads influence's. An I absolutely love Randy. Along with all Skynyrd O.G meaning Steve, Ed, Allen., Gary.. In no order..
Marty have you ever had to deal with tendonitis in the wrist/forearrm? and if so do you have any tips to help with preventing these issues? Been with you for almost 15 years now thank you for everything you have done for all of us! Hands down the best teacher/person on the internets!
I swear, whenever i want to learn a new popular song, your video always comes up first. Ignoring my obsession for obscure anime themes. I love that about this channel.
Marty thanks for playing through at the start. It is fantastic for people to see one, then learn the bits. The pattern forms and then it's about practice. Excellent teaching bro. Thanks.
Thanks Marty I Live in Mississippi we got Queens, had the King Elvis, birthed Delta Blues with Robert Johnson Muddy Waters and many others. Music has deep roots here. “Kingfish”is keeping the tradition going now. Rock on you guys!
Awesome! I was always intimidated by this rocker and never attempted it. I just watched your lesson and have all of the parts down after an hour! Marty rocks!
Wow… how crazy! I wanted to learn this over the weekend and was surprised when I searched RUclips that you didn’t have a video lesson on this one, and today you do!
Man you play it with such great rhythm I played this in a band I was in once it sounded awesome but there was 2 guitarists ,if I could play it like you we would of only needed 1😂
This is funny I legit looked for your lesson for so long I can't cheat on another guitar player your just better in my opinion and easy to understand, true meaning of guitar lessons for anyone
Leslie played the big E string when making the A shape E Barre chord. He played all the strings when he made barré chords. That how he got that big sound from that Les Paul Junior.
Love the instruction on blues power chords and licks. I am very rusty. Anyways All I have now is an acoustic so I could barely get to fret 17 for the lick in the beginning. LOL
LESLIE WEST , ONE OF THE BEST GUITARIST EVER. FELIX ON BASS, CORKY ON DRUMS,STEVE ON KEYBOARDS ; MOUNTAIN ONE OF ROCKS GREATEST BANDS. LESLIE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITARIST EVER ,REALLY HE WAS UNDERRATED,HOW SAD THAT HE WAS ,BUT NOT TO ME!!!!!🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶😎✌️BOB
I was just playing this and I think that lead intro is played an octave lower with a Fender Blender, Octavio or some other octave up distortion pedal. I am using a 1968 Fender Blender that has hotter transistors installed in some spots.
RIP Leslie West of Mountain. Saw this band in the 70's and they never failed to put on great show.
Me too 1974 or 75 new Jersey
Leslie was "Da Man", Tone for days and a great guy. Overcame all kinds of health issues and was a trooper till the end.
His music lives online forever......luckily for us.
RIP
I absolutely love the guitar in this song. The intro solo just does something to me.
Agreed. It’s one of the best and most badass songs ever recorded and it’s just 2 and a half minutes long!
Ditto
Thank you for such useful tuto-
I learned so muc-
This was very helpf-
Is that a gun barrel at the end of your guita-
the .45 calliber bullet entering your skull
what's this slow motion anatomy-
This is just such a badass riff...definitely an 11 on the cool scale
This band sadly gets overlooked. Such a great band with amazing songs.
People only know about mississippi queen lol
@@juliancarreon5569 lol facts
@@juliancarreon5569 I recommend listening to their first 2 albums. "Climbing and "Nantucket Sleighride". Some good tracks
@@alexc656 pride and passion on flowers of evil goes crazy too
Climbing is a great album,never in my life is the jam@@alexc656
Marty, I owe my guitar learning all to you... You are an amazing guitar teacher 👌🏼🎸... Rock on Marty!
Bro I agree Marty is a BOSS. But he's not there to get you to practice...that my friend is ALL ON YOU mate.

I’ve been wanting to learn this song for ages but I never found a good tutorial. Thank you so much!!
Leslie West is one of my all time favorite guitarists. RIP Leslie. Great classic 👏
Leslie Wesr was one of Randy Rhoads influence's. An I absolutely love Randy. Along with all Skynyrd O.G meaning Steve, Ed, Allen., Gary.. In no order..
He will be missed
RIP
One of the coolest riff in heavy rock blues history. Leslie West is definitely one of my heroes.
Me too
I saw this, was immediately reminded of when I heard this on regular show, and was ready 😂 you're going down in history man
Reminder to myself: Riffs and do not have to be complicated, just catchy and memorable (and yes, well-played). Thank you, Marty!

Great lesson. Can you show or describe your amp settings? I can't seem to get that sound. Thanks for all your lessons.
Amazing as always Marty!
Man, you need a Gibson Melody Maker and a Marshall stack on eleven to do this one justice! RIP, Leslie West.
When this song plays in the longest yard scene I just love it when the guards are in the locker 😂💪
Love that song
Hell yeah! Thanks a lot Marty!
Time for an old school cartoon rock
Been waiting a long time for this one marty. Thank you.
Recorded this a bit ago. Awesome riffs!
I saw/heard this played on stage 48 years ago n here I am finding it played online everywhere n by kids not even born yet....then.
Don't you think that's a good thing? Mountain is getting more exposure then.
@@FEMACUBE they aint say it was bad

Marty! It would be awesome if you did some Lake Street Dive! The only current pop band that can play their instruments
So cool.....thanks again marty

But I f*cking love you, man. Rock on! 🎸🔥🤘🏼
This was my jam on guitar hero 3

Heavy Man ,Thanks
I love this song. Great lesson!
My favourite song when I was a young boy
First concert I ever saw .1974? Teenager ,Capitol theater ,Passaic, New Jersey
