I’m eighty…and just starting out on guitar and I’m finding your Beginner lessons invaluable. Thank you so much. 👍👍👍

Managing to pull off a successful "chuck" in the rhythm of the pattern gave me this dumb smile and such satisfaction. Thanks Marty, you're the best!

I bought my first acoustic guitar today and have never played a guitar before in my life. I’m 41. I’m slowly learning and feel excited! Thanks Marty! You inspired me and I talk about you all the time… love your teaching style!

Hi Marty! My husband just got me a guitar for Christmas! He heard me saying how much I wished I had learn to play when I was little. I am so thankful that I found your videos, I am encouraged that I might be able to play a few songs some day :) Thank you!

Marty was the first teacher that taught how to strum. It is unreal how strumming is not really taught. Way a go Marty. Love you videos.

I can't believe there is such a great guitar teacher on YouTube for free. My dad recommended I watched you since he uses your videos when he learns new songs but wow. You seriously have put so much faith in me with how slow and understanding you are, it's also like you can almost feel my frustration and tell me it's not going to sound perfect the first few times lol.

well, now i can say i've hit my first bump in the road

[RexGalbraith]

Marty you're a gifted teacher. You speak in a way that a beginner understand and just enough content enough lesson where you feel it's realistic to keep going. Also love the little jokes you throw in there... brilliant.

Hey Marty! I'm 57 and I always wanted to learn to play the guitar. I was told my great grandfather played. Anyway, I've been playing for about 2.5 months now and I've learned so much from your videos and want to thank you for sharing and teaching us. Thanks again...Will Armstrong

Hey, Marty. I just wanted to thank you for you’re fantastic content. In this time of remote teaching and learning I’ve been using your videos as a primary source for my student’s education.

Total beginner here Marty, bought a Yamaha, learned a few chords so far and found your strumming techniques, I can see they are important fundamentals so THANKS for this.

Playing guitar would still have been a dream if not for this man. All hail Marty Schwartz

[strongwaters]

As a beginner to guitar playing, your lessons have been very informative. Thanks Marty.

[rayross]

Peace and love! Peace and love! Thanks for some great beginner lessons Marty.

Karate Kid. You are the Mr Miagi of guitar! Thanks for the awesome lessons Marty!

[jamesfletcher]

Hey Marty, I'm a new sybscriber and I'm beginning to catch on. I tried guitar several years ago only to give up. Now I'm back at it again. Thanks for what you are doing. It really is easier following you than trying on my own. Thanks again!

Well....thats the first time as a beginner that I figured something out in 5 minutes....thanks!

I picked this one up fairly quickly. the chuck came pretty naturally to me. Pattern number 2 was the most difficult so far and every thing I had to accomplish to get up to speed with Marty and make smooth timely transitions between G and C built skill to make these other patterns easier. I had to relearn how to make a C chord, targeting my ring finger. Works great now!
