Marty Schwartz, you're the reason why I didn't quit guitar 10 years ago. My favorite video still is the one where you teach smells like teen spirit with a duck face and you start doing the duck sound. That cracked me up but left a lasting impression on me. I'm so happy to see you're still creating new generations of guitarists. Thanks for all the work you do.
Whenever I want to learn how to play a song or am having trouble with something, I look up Marty. I watch and go…Oh yea. Now I get it. He explains things in such a simple yet thorough way. He just has that knack. Super grateful for all the help. Thanks Marty! All the best.
You are simply an amazing teacher. Not only you are an excellent player but know exactly how to teach. I have seen a million tutorials over the internet and while there are superb guitarists out there they are not able to convey their knowledge so effectively as you do. Thumbs up.
Marty, from the bottom of my heart and at the upmost honesty, you are the reason why I still even play guitar. First song I ever learned, which is weird, was master of puppets. And to any beginners reading rhis comment, start with a hard song. It sounds weird, but trust me, it will improve you greatly, and I started with alot of these more intermediate or advanced songs, and learnt the easier songs later down my road, my point is if you want to be good, learn hard songs off the get-go, as you will be amazing, first few years of playing guitar started in 2019, I was 11, and was really into metallica, so naturally, I learnt my favorite bands songs, map, was my favorite, so I learnt it, every 5th fret of each string, is the open note of the next string higher, (example, low e 5th fret is the same note as open a note.) Which I used to my advantage. I didn't start map on 7th fret a string, i started on 12 fret low e, went down to 2nd fret. That's called music theory, and it's crucial, and it's the first important thing I did, and learned and still use. But I also used a string for more compact shapes, as playing 5 frets ahead for a complex shape to alternate is counter-productive, so use it when necessary, but I really couldn't learn half the brain I have without this man. He changed me and shaped me into the guitarist I am today, and tomorrow since it's night for me, I'm going to learn solo stuff as it's been on my bucket list for a while. So, love yall, love ya Marty, anyone who's playing guitar, never give in, and keep going, and same with you Marty, keep rocking, anyways, I'm off, peace everybody.
Marty ya know how many thousands of Ax teachers are on youtube but but you have helped me the most so thank you buddy...it takes huge patience unusual talent including insight to be able to cherri pick thru all the BS and give us the most helpful usable reference points...
Marty, you're an awesome dude. I really appreciate your "stoke factor" which is always super positive, fun, and up-lifting. Your guitar skills and teaching ability are an obvious gift but I think one of your greatest attributes is that you have such positive energy; which is pretty hard to find in the world today. Keep it up and thank you for all you do!
Hi marty!!hows you goin bro?since 2012 when some of my friend,recomended me your RU-vid channel,i learned how to play solo specially blues rock licks and pentatonic scale,,you help me a lot,,im from Philippines bro,thank you and wish you all nothing but the best master!!!!
Hey Marty, as someone who is trudging along trying to get better at guitar, your videos have been a really great learning tool, and listening to you and seeing you break down mechanical stuff has really helped me improve compared to old guitar manuals lol. Any chance we will see a video breaking down individual note placement on the fretboard? Most recently I've been struggling to understand scales and the relationships between notes. Much love!
Marty you're the man!!! You've helped me so much with this lesson! I already knew the A minor pentatonic and three groups, but wow that 4 group really is tricky, so I got way more work now! (I'm a drummer, so this is gonna be fun!) haha
This is just like college...in the beginning you're like "ok, I got this"...then you blink and you're in over your head, your eyes defocus, and you wonder what is life. Finally, after regaining reality you look at your building blocks from the lesson and begin to learn. Thanks for the video, Marty!
Marty, I need to see the notes you selected on a fretboard with note names to understand this. Watching your hands is good but not always clear what string and fret you are on. Which lesson do I need to focus on leading up to this point…
Can solos and scales only successfully be done on electric guitar or can it be learned on acoustic first and then applied to electric... asking cause I only have an acoustic at the moment and it's harder to get clean notes...
I’ve been playing for over 25 years, been a lead player for band for 5. I’m having trouble getting that rock solo sound where you go from the bent 4th sting, down two frets to the 5th string, and rocking between the two. I can’t make it get the sound ive heard people make and I can’t for the life of me figure out how to walk that scale up through the bend of the 4th and none bent 5th and back to bend on the 4th. That waaanana waaanana waaananana Lol(younjeRd that right!?? But like how to get that hotel California solo sound?
Hi Marty Music Don't suppose you've heard the song The Adults Are Talking by The Strokes? Could you please do a Guitar Tutorial for it such a good song came out near the start of april this year cant stop listening to it on repeat very catchy.
Please marty make ain't it fun by gun's and roses please I would play this music but I don't like learn with tabs and you play not with tabs please make this music 🎸🔥🤘🙏 (sorry for my English I'm French)
Just a song suggestion, my dads been begging me to learn " youll never walk alone" by jamie webster, if you could make a tutorial because theres none on RU-vid, please :)
Your channel is awesome dude keep up the great work. I got a few song tutorial recommendations it’d be cool if you did a video on. Lord of this world by black sabbath, Black Betty by Ram Jam, take me to the kaptain by prism, this flight tonight by Nazareth, young lust by pink Floyd, shout at the devil by motley Crüe, strutter by kiss, hot blooded by foreigner, white room by cream, fly at night by chiliwack, Godzilla by blue oyster cult. Any of these would be awesome to learn and you teaching would make it 10X better thanks so much for making these videos man your really appreciated and you have a real talent at communicating and explaining things plus your videos have humour overall awesome dude and awesome channel
Hey Marty, could you do a tutorial on the song Stare Too Long by Corrosion of Conformity? I've been trying to learn it, but i'm still too much of a beginner to figure it out. Thanks!
any advice on what to do when i get very frustrated trying to do scales cause my fret hand is much weaker than my strumming hand? I've kinda been trying to teach myself using Rocksmith 2014.
Marty, I love ya bro, and you continue to expand my guitar vocabulary, even though you are an a**hole for being so damn good😂 on the real super jealous and hope I can groove to my own licks like that one day. Keep on rockin and thank you for all the posts, and help.
Can somebody come over and untangle my fingers? LOL!!! :-) Marty - Thanks for the great lesson! ( Love The 5th Element! ) P.S. I don't see the "Licks" link you talk about in the video. Might need to add that ;-)
