Red Hot Chili Peppers Under The Bridge INTRO Guitar Lesson + Tutorial 

So in struggling through the first part of the song, then Marty says "now here's the real challenge". It's gonna take me weeks to get this one down. Great lesson.

Every RHCP tutorial I find on RU-vid I typically watch the intro then instantly find a nirvana song to learn lol

Brutal on acoustic

I’m an intermediate guitar player. Saw the first cord and decided to learn another song

John Frusciante is literally a monster at guitar! Hope to be good as him one day. Thanks Marty as well for the lesson

my tip: if you can play this but need perfection skip to 17:40 and put the speed to 0.75 to train it. This helped me a lot.

Don't think there is anybody else on RU-vid that does tutorials quite like Marty, keep doing you man much love

Every time before I watch your videos I get an ad for guitar tricks saying youtube doesn't work. Thanks for working.

How can you not like this guy?

If you look for guitar lessons on youtube long enough you're going to find this channel. He doesn't rush and he explains every move. Huge thanks to you my man. My dad actually asked me if I had found this channel because we both found it independently.

When this video first came out years ago I tried(and failed to learn this sone) I was a freshman in high school and had just started guitar. Now I’m almost a senior and I finally mastered it. Thanks for the Journey Marty!!!!

holy s**t, I never thought I'd EVER be able to play this. feeling really confident with my playing now! 😎

for that first weird chord instead of using a barre chord I recommend using your pointer finger to only fret the 2nd fret of the G string.

I've never considered myself ever to be good at guitar, but just that subtle encouragement makes me really determined to push myself to play better, and I'm so glad I managed to even just learn the intro to Under The Bridge even if it took me almost a week! Thank you Marty, I love you man

Trying to improve my guitar skills during this corona virus lockdown LOL

A friendly tip. On the slide from 2nd to 4th fret on the dmajor chord strum D,G, and B strings for a warm and fuzzy tone on the slide. This allows you to also remove and rest your tired pinky! 😋 thank you so much for the amazing lessons Marty!!

Here's the next part of the song ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8d3E1YP8ZzI.html

That pinky slide going back to the first shape saved my life. I was trying to do a hammer-on and was like "This song is ****ing impossible" 😅

How did Fruciante ever thought of this?

this was the first thing i *tried* to learn on guitar. 1 year later and now im ready to actually learn it. Thanks marty for the help over the year (:

Nice video Marty do Scar Tissue next

Thank you for teaching us Frusciante's genius, Marty.

Marty, my savior, showing me how I was over-complicating the fretting

Dude, your tutorials imo are by far the best, so easy to follow and i can tell by where you pause on parts, that you know which bits people are really going to struggle with. This is a difficult song to play and i have small ass hands but i can nearly play it after 3 days (already knew that tricky D chord luckily) lol. Thanks from the uk man you're the best.

Thank you so much Marty! You're the best teacher!

I never really believed that some guy on youtube could teach me more about playing, but there you were. Thanks man !

Marty, I have been a follower and subscriber of yours for years. I have always wanted to learn this song and have gone back to it and left it many times. The way you deconstructed this and made it very simple, whilst recognising and breaking down the challenges, was exceptional. Take a bow, sir! Thank you so much!

Over the moon, that you have done Under the Bridge, excellent Marty!

“It’s a challenge for guys with shorter fingers” I’m a 16 year old girl Fantastic

I died on 8:22 when Marty said "Ok, so here is the real challenging". I mean he played the first frase of the intro which already is so hard and then he is like, "oh that was easy now look at this!".

I've been playing lead guitar for 30 years with no problem. But, playing chords and fingerpicking has always been a struggle. I've tried this song many times before and gave up. Your video makes it seem easy and is excellent. I am getting it down! Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. Great job!

Tbh out of every other RU-vid guitar teacher, you're the best man, always sticking to how the song is played and the best techniques and a perfect pace for all levels to follow along with. Keep up the good videos and would love to see a tool song on here someday. I know that'll be a challenge though haha

Marty Music I have been subbed to both of your channels for a long time you are the best guitar teacher on RU-vid you were the first RU-vid guitarist I found that really helped forayed song I learned ever was from you it was TNT by AC/DC

Ahh, this must be the iconic 2 part lesson you spoke of. Nice. I use a pick and single notes but this sounds a lot more accurate. It's a really fun song to play along to. I need to add more flair to my version. Thanks for the lesson. I dig the detail and accuracy of your new MM lessons!

Thanks Marty. You are an excellent teacher. Even though you don’t show the tabs your pace and instruction makes learning easy without them. Every time I learn a new song, I look to see if you’ve posted it. Your humor makes it even better. Keep doing what you are doing!

Best....Intro...EVAAR! Seriously, great step by step through out the video, but you showed me exactly what I wanted to see; Right off the bat! Very well done Sir!

Thanks for this lesson man ! The 0:07 part is a pain in the ass to play, feels like I'm working my forearm out lol

Okay so I was having trouble getting that part down with the pink movement and here's what I did that helped: right before you do the walk down place your middle finger on the B string 3rd fret and hold it there during the walk down. Then put your ring finger on the 4th fret of the A string and hammer on with your pinky to the 5th fret. The move your ring finger down a string and at the same time move your pointer finger to the 2nd fret G string. It feels weird at first but it start to feel natural. Hope this helps some of you.

Marty, you are the best, your tutorials are very well explained and I love the fact that you explain a bit of the harmony/ music theory that's behind. It has always helped me a lot better to understand what I am playing!!

Marty just blows all other RU-vid guitar tutorials away he explains things so clearly and at the perfect pace

“It’s a challenge for guys with shorter fingers” Me a 13 year old girl with hands the size of an 8 year old alrighty then

I think I’m fine with playing the chords and all that it’s just the muscle... IT BURNS!!!

Marty i love your tutorials i recomend them to anyone. Such a nice guy to listen to and learn from. Very energetic and enthusiastic guy. Great work keep it up!!

All of your tutorials are so helpful thank you so much!!!!

"definitely harder for guys with shorter fingers" nice... I'm 12

I took out my grandpas gibson electric guitar the other day, as I've been neglecting playing for awhile. Learning some new ones. Thanks for this !

Another fantastic tutorial from Marty! He breaks down this difficult song into separate pieces that can be easily learnt, even by someone like me with basic guitar playing skills. Keep it up Marty!!

I can believe I've just worked the song out from your first chord! I've listened to this song a million times. It's like it was partially built in:D it's slow ATM as that chord is a tough one. But I never thought I'd be able to do it. Thank you SO much.

A good song to play without the e string,in quarantine , with shop closed , 😭😭

Some jazz stuff would be great

one of my favourite songs by my favourite teacher thanks for teaching Marty :)

You're an awesome teacher and generally a bit of a legend!! Thanks for all your lessons mate!

Marty: harder for guys with shorter fingers *me looks at fingers also me: imma head out

I really loved this tutorial, pretty hard on acoustic, but I managed to do this on the first try!

Dude. I've been playing for over 20 years and always wanted to learn this one. You made it easy to learn, thanks so much

Marty you are awesome I have been playing guitar for about 30 years on and off and your lessons have brought me back into the fold thank you so much brother

MARTY DO PURPLE RAIN WITH A FREESTYLE

marty please do the song goodbye angles by the red hot chili peppers

Dude keep doing what you’re doing! Always enjoy finding new lessons and songs that you recorded lessons. Keeps me inspired thank you!

That tucking in of the elbow is great advice. Thanks Marty!

This was the very first song I learned to play all the way through believe it or not.

(can u do licks over the 12 bar blues red house style? (realy enjoyed the vid

I love your tutorials, they're very useful and you explain how to play in a very clear way. You play very well too! I learned a lot from your videos

I tried to learn this when i first started playing guitar about 8 months ago, now i'm coming back and realizing that this song was not meant for people JUST starting. Amazing video thank you very much keep the amazing content going.

Someone once tried to tell me “John frusciante isn’t that good of a guitar player” lol

Hey man, do you think you could do anything by Queens Of The Stone Age?

that first chord is brutal on the hand! wow!!!! thanks! i will need to practice for a while!

So fun to play! You make it so simple. Thx bro

I was originally a classical guitarist and my reaction is--uncharacteristically for me on electric--that this is crazy easy. Must be something about a life spent in fingerstyle with five and six fret spreads. This must be the first electric song where I've found classical training to be a leg up. Interesting.

As a bass player this is near impossible for my chunky fingers

I wish I knew a lick about guitar. You do make it seem easier to learn than everyone else that I’ve learned from. I grew up with my dad building electric guitars ever since I could remember, and we had guitars all over the house and amplifiers and music, rooms, and drums and everything but I never picked up a guitar. I took onto the violin and the piano. But I should’ve taken onto the guitar and my dad always plays for me because I enjoy watching a professional. I love it but I just feel I don’t have long enough fingers and I have so many excuses because it seems so hard but then yet I can draw anything that I look at and make it look exactly like how it is. So everybody has third different talents and although I know how to produce music, I cannot play in the instrument.

This is one of the reasons why i love frusciante and marty😘

Everyone: This cord is so hard, my fingers aren't long enough Me with long fingers that manages to play the cord first try: 👁️👄👁️

i cheated a lil bit. i put a capo on 2nd fret.

Thank you Marty! been trying to learn this for months and this really helped break it down. You rock!

I tried to learn this one by tab, and I was really struggling with it. So I decided to watch a Marty video to see if he had some tips. I’ve been following Marty for over 5 years, and this is the only song I’ve seen him play that seemed somewhat challenging to him. No wonder it’s so difficult for me. Frusciante is a legend.

Can you do a lesson on "My Friends" by rhcp? Love the vids btw

I don't even play but this is phenomenal instruction.

1:50 I immediately thought of Lose Yourself here, this lesson is awesome!!!

Really cool and helpful thanks Marty 😀

PLEASE DO DEVILS KIND FROM BILLIE JOE ARMSTONG IN THE MOVIE ORDINARY WORLD

Is it possible to do the Intro with a pick? I first learned the verse and I strum with a pick. Or is it easier to fingerpick the intro and use my finger to strum the verse as well.

the fact he f’n plated it, and didnt just teach us pieces.. too me that is important... i dont care if we can listn to ong. thank you!!

LOVE this song.... been trying this song for years.....

do siva by smashing pumpkins

Who should I go see about my carpal tunnel?

Man what a singer! 16:43

Thanks man. Im busking and this is very helpful

My pinkie is in pain ah!

I just realized from the ring, that he's married

I’ve been studying this song so hard the last couple of weeks, and on every video of Frusciante playing it I could not see the slide with the pinky but I could hear it. I know he plays it a little different live and also has changed his technique over the years. I am 100% convinced it is a hammer on from third finger to the fourth. It’s still difficult but a little easier. I’m also pretty sure the chord slide from D to E is just the D, G and B strings. However you guys play this though, good luck to you and make it your own! Thanks for everything Marty, I used this video several years ago when I initially learned this for a college show. You are the man! 🤘🏼🎸

Awesome playing Marty!!!! Love your channel!!!!!

bro try capo 2nd fret and ignore tha bars on chords for the intro, thank me later

Capo on second fret saved my life

This is the best guitar lessons I have ever seen

Got it 90% sussed out! Marty I freaking love your channel! Thanks so much for all you do!

Marty just wanted to give thanks for all the videos you put out. As a Newby to the music world your videos have helped tremendously. Keep up the good work and jamming. You are truly one of the best I've heard.

You sir are a very good teacher, thank you for a great lesson.

Great video - really clear and very helpful. Much appreciated.
