Out of all of the videos I’ve watched of people playing this song on their guitar I have to say, I do believe you sir have the cleanest and crispiest melody bravo.
@@Argyle2008 more cowbell refers to the SNL skit where they played dont fear the reaper and a guy keeps telling them more cowbell. and we just want more marty too
Yesterday I was thinking about learning this song and today this pops out. Marty is not just flexing his guitar skills, now he's flexing his psychic powers. Thanks a bunch.
Hey Marty! I just picked up the guitar a few weeks ago at the age of 40. I've seen several tutorials from you and started to learn from you. Your videos are awesome and I am very grateful for you sharing your knowledge and teaching us here! Thank you and keep going with your fantastic stuff!
learned this song from my sister last night. looked ur tutorial up today to make sure i’m playing it right and u literwlly dropped the video recently. Marty Music is ALWAYS on timing
I’ve always wanted to learn how to play this lick for so long and you’ve taught it so perfect as always with all your lessons I’ve been a fan a long time of yours now Marty and I just want to give a huge thanks to you for everything you do you’re an icon and a legend and will forever always be one 🙏🏼
When I first watched this video starting guitar I thought this was hard and moved to practicing chords. Taking a look if you will. After 3 months of practice this song (not the solo) Has become easy to me. Crazy where practice gets you
Marty, for the opening main riff where you go from G to F power chord, back to G, for economy of motion: when going to the first G, you can set up for the F power chord at the same time. And then leave the F note of the F power chord in place as you toggle between the chords. The G note will mute the F note while you’re playing the G. This way you don’t have to lift your hand completely off the strings between notes and the F note acts as the anchor for your hand. I hope that explanation makes sense, because it works well.
@@richardvale214 Feels a little unnatural at first (putting your index 1st fret low E while playing the G chord), will just take a little getting used to.
I was actually just looking to see if you made a tutorial on this song the other day. Super glad to see this! thank you! Been watching your videos for a long time.
Great lesson Man! Love your teaching style. That beginning riff is tricky to play. Gonna have to get some muscle memory going to pick that up to speed.
Dude, I just came back to this for the 2nd half/part of your video. This is so great!! I really appreciate it when you go real slow, and show different places on your axe to play, and then review with breakdowns!! Chord changes are challenging, but the way you teach is so positive and inspiring, it encourages me to try it, after thinking maybe not & it really worked!! THANK YOU!!! Having the Thomastic Infelds (on the new $300yamaha )strings are helping me too! My other guitar is a classic and I couldnt play as far down the fretboard. I want to get better at picking and this is the perfect track for that.. Now I must get back to learning Hotel C!!Sweetwater is where I got new gear, along with Boss Katana Amp!! Love your Work Marty!! Could you do Lynard Skynyrd That Smell?! Best ever
I searched "how to play don't fear the reaper Marty Music not knowing you posted this yesterday and it was so cool and weird to see you just posted this I just thought it was funny that I thought of it and it just happened
Ok everyone, and sorry Marty, but the open G is always an upstroke. The pinning pattern becomes massively less work when you go D D D U: the three downs are more economical (not three separate downs i.e.) and the final up and the open G brings you back towards the bass string. It's literally half the effort of doing this with all downs. The pre:chorus is chunky Palm muted two string power chords, not open strummy chords. Great tune.
When learning this riff you need to treat that last open G string as part of the next G chord otherwise no matter how fast you play this riff it will never sound like the recording. Don’t pause after strumming that open G string, make it part of the next chord. If you are struggling, play the A minor, then pause after strumming that closed G string, then strum the open G and go immediately to the G chord. Timing is everything in music.
Hello Marty. You and my Uncle have taught me everything I know but I feel like it’s time to impress him with one of his favourites, Supernatural by Gary Moore. You probably won’t see this but I would eternally grateful if you could do a lesson on this. 😊🤘
