Eric Clapton Nobody Knows When You're Down & Out Guitar Lesson + Tutorial 

Thanks for watching and supporting! I also have a bunch of FREE courses at my site www.MartyMusic.com

Lets give scrapper blackwell some credit. One of the true blues greats

It has a You’ve Got A Friend In Me vibe

As someone who has been trying to learn guitar for decades I am blown away by what is now available to me from Marty, including this lesson. Great lessons, great enthusiasm, great production. It really is the gold standard for guitar instruction. Rock on.

I just love Marty, thank you dude. I was struggling with the finger style version and you've boiled it down beautifully so it can be worked on by us mere mortals.

whoever's reading this...have an amazing day. Keep your head up.

Love this classic tune, especially the version from the unplugged record. Your playing on the Gibson and the tone sounds great.

Mr.Swartz there are no words to describe how invaluable you've been in teaching me(and others im sure) a list of covers that I can play at parties and get the room chanting whilst soaking up all the adorations and compliments ,which really you deserve.thank you so much for all the time you've given to us.well done.

I would really appreciate it if you did a tutorial on Rapp Snitches Kinishes by MF DOOM (R.I.P) I really would like to learn the intro.

I haven't picked up my guitar for months but you just posted one of my all time favorites and now I am driven to learn! Marty, you are an amazing teacher! When the world opens back up again, I've gotta come see you perform! If you are in the mood you could do a whole series on Claptons unplugged!

Thank you so much Marty. I didn't even know that I love this song and tell you put it out and now it's one of my favorites. What a pleasure to learn and play thanks to you.

Marty, thank you so much for all the work you do and for being my teacher. You inspire me, and nearly a year into my guitar learning journey, I am yet to lose any of that inspiration. Keep on rocking and again, thank you.

Honestly, every time Marty releases a video, the day is taken to a whole new level

Marty teaches an Eric clapton song... What do we need more in this life?

i thought yesterday that i wanted to learn this song and marty shows up

You are truly awesome Marty

I learned this in the key of G recently while I was learning how to use secondary dominant chords. It's a great example of how they can be inserted to make a progression more interesting.

Thanks Marty! This is a great blues tune with tasty chords and transitions. I'm real happy you chose to teach it. Hope you're doing well and staying healthy.

One of the best guitar teachers on the planet and nice humble guy 2 go wit it

Mr. Marty.... when you mentioned D Minor harmonic scale with the D Minor chord and the A7 chord you opened my mind to some new musical ideas... thank you... You really rock

This is one of Clapton's coolest songs. I remember first time I ever saw him play this song was the unplugged concert. he's actually finger picking the entire song. so you could play this song either flat picked or finger picked if you're more advanced. I'd love to see a tutorial for Tequila Sunrise by The Eagles. please do it for us Marty =)

You play this song with such finesse. I would rather watch you play this one Marty. Lots to remember on this well crafted classic. A marriage of standard and the bluest of blues. Thanks for the entertainment. A joy

Thanks Marty for another fun one. These variations or embellishments are a blast! Your finger picking class for beginners is a real help.

I really connect with the way you teach. Thank you for posting this, I have been wanting to learn this song for a while now!

Marty, you are a great man! Thanks for the lesson. I can finally play my favorite song!🙂

Not a big deal but if I were you I’d give scrapper Blackwell props for playing the song. His version is a lot better too at least in my opinion. Probably how Clapton found it. I hate to be a purist but it just seems right. Also i see how you get more views with Clapton in the title than scrapper Blackwell. Thanks for what you do though man, inspiring new artists every day.

Thank you so much for this Marty! One of my favourite songs of all time. Never thought I would be able to play this...

Really nice! Please do a lesson on the guitar solo to “Take it easy” by the Eagles

Great lesson… Great Clapton rendition! Always enjoy your lessons Marty!

Hey Marty, thanks for the Nobody Knows When You're Down and Out guitar lesson. Appreciated!!!!

Lets go, thanks for another great lesson! Eric Clapton is a king and so are you🔥❤👍

Finally a Clapton lesson! I've been waiting for this for so long

Dude, that Dm harmonic whatever you did at 2:26 is beautiful! You gotta teach us whatever the heck that was!

Great tutorial Marty - Relative beginner but I could play this by the end of your video - including the fiddly bits. Keep em coming. Great stuff! Thanks

Awesome tutorial as always! Thanks Marty 🙏

Another great lesson, my mom loves this song. This is the inspiration I’ve been looking for.

Sweet lesson Marty. I love this!

Nice! This is one of the first “many-chord” songs I learned. I’ll revisit and add some embellishments.

I’m 42 now. When I was in the 8th grade I ordered the Eric Clapton Unplugged CD from the Columbia House “6 CDs for a penny” ad on the back of the Parade insert in the Sunday paper. It was the last CD I chose because my dad liked Clapton. I didn’t know who he was really. This was the song that made me want to play guitar. Thanks Marty!

I love this Marty! I love you!!!

YES MARTY!! I've always loved this song. Looks like I know what I'm doing after work lol

So smooth thanks Marty 👍

Great cover! Congrats, Marty! I learned Imagine from you😊😊

Great as always, another fine video.

Absolutely a great lesson. Love this tune!

Marty, you have no idea how long I been waiting for this lesson!

Thanks for teaching this song. You are greatly appreciated.

this was an excellent lesson, Marty you are an awesome teacher. thank you.

No matter how many times I play this song with the embellishments I learned here...I thoroughly enjoy it! Thanks Marty, great lesson! Keep'm coming my man!

Mahalo Marty....always loved this song, I really like the Derek and Dominoes version. Sweet guitar solo in that...one of the first songs I learned to play

Marty. You are truely Amazing 🤘

Thanks for the tutorial, I really enjoyed it

Nothing slow hand about this! Thanks Marty!!

Ah something for us old folks, and perhaps this leads a few teens to become hooked on Clapton. Thanks, Marty!

I love your tutorials Thank you so much you.

Beautiful!

Good choice marty. The younger generation needs to know this classic. I usually fingerpick this song, the old school way. Keep it up with great songs. I loved learning going to california a couple weeks ago!

Beautiful! I'd really love a lesson on how to play Take Me to the River (Al Green / Talking Heads... any version would be much appreciated) Thanks!

Hey, I love your teaching style, went through a lot of videos to find you. Within about 4 months I know more than I have the last 10 years. Thank you. The lessons single handedly ignited my flame of music. Not sure if there’s a quantity rule on this but was wondering if you could do a lesson on the verve pipes “Freshman” and/or Tyler Childres “Harlan road”. Thanks again for all you do!

Big Hi from a beginner in England, just learned my first chords cos of you! 👍👍 Many thanks for making this channel, Subscribed 👍🇬🇧

💕 from Austria... Such a nice Ragtime Blues...

Come on guys Marty is still the best 😃cheers Marty from Ireland I’ve been with you from the beginning bro 😎 take care great tutorial!!! Brian

Perfect video continued the good work Marty.

YEAHHHHHH THIS song is awesome I know how to play it already but I didn’t know a couple of the extra licks you added from claptons version!!!! Keep up the good work I really bloody enjoyed this one! Would be great to see some more old school blues like Robert Johnson and lighting Hopkins and MORE SLIDDDDDDEEEEEEE plz 😂

I loooooove this one thank you 🙏🏻!!

A terrific lesson. Thanks.

Wonderful lesson Marty.

Man Marty, i dont know if i ever commented on your videos, but now i have to share my 2 cents. After starting to play guitar with you years ago and learnig my first chords (beeing somewhat intermediate now) i can usually play freely to all intermediate songs, without any further help. I assumed that beeing able to play down & out with all the "toppings" would be a good goal in order to get more precise in my play. I searched for a lesson to teach me exactly that and what do you think happened ? Marty got it covered ! One can easily live a guitar players life together with you, beeing teached something new every time. My appreciation is yours, Thanks Marty !

Was looking for this yesterday

really great Marty please do some more classic blues please!

this beauthiful lesson perfect

Thanks marty for teaching this song. I really appreciated rhat

Thanks, Marty! We love you!

Great song and tutorial, thanks! 👍

Great one Marty. So, yeahhh, that whole album would make a great series lol.

I’m grabbing my acoustic right now , great lesson 👍🏻

This is a great lesson! Can you do more lessons on Steve Goodman Or Can you do a lesson on all of your favorite go-to licks, just breaking down all the cool licks you like to play. Thank you so much!

love this tune

Please more Eric Clapton! Thank you, love this one! Would love to have a tutorial for "She's Waiting" by Eric Clapton

Great lesson Marty! love this song. You should teach bron y aur stomp by Led Zeppelin next to take your acoustic lessons to the next level!
