I remember when I was 11 years old, I used to watch Marty's videos and try to learn from it, and now I'm 19 years old and I am a certified lead guitarist of a band. Thanks to you Marty! ❤

when he did the spray thing with his fingers, i literally thought he was spraying something and the first thing that came to mind was “ sh*t i don’t have freeze spray” 😭

Just bought my first guitar yesterday, never played so much as a chord in my 30 years of living. It's nice to have three chords under my belt after 2 days and be able to play something recognizable as music rather than endlessly, awkwardly noodling and doodling before giving up and returning to my mastery of that venerated instrument....the air guitar.

For anyone just picking up a guitar. This is the only teacher that you need. Marty explains things in such a lovely way and I can't praise him highly enough. Thanks Marty.

The facial expressions during the major and minor comparison really helped.

I am 6 years old and learning to play guitar and I really like your videos- Henry.

I have played guitar for 2 years. My teachers were bad, I never progressed, and I was unmotivated to play. Now I'm restarting with Marty!

[stardust]

How did I end up here at 4 a.m....I don't even own a guitar, but anyway now I really want to learn

[lisafitzgerald]

I'm in my 60's now and finally have time to myself after all the kids moved out. I am doing the 5 min each day and as others have said ends up being 30-45. If it hurts I just go get a coffee and go right back to it. I'm not giving up and hope I can keep up with my nephew some day soon. Marty is all the teaching you need! Thank you for your fantastic videos.

I have always wanted to play the guitar but finally I have enough time to since corona shut down my school

[karunamaya]

I keep getting ads saying yt learning is bad. This series is proving those ads wrong.

[tonicarter]

Woo hoo still doing my 5 minutes a day like you said and that always turns into 30-45 mins. My fingers get sore but I'm doing so well with your lessons. Thank you Marty!

day two... my fingers hurt so bad and the tips are completely numb. but i refuse to give up for my dad who passed away and played every instrument known to man. i bet hed be proud if he saw me now. thanks marty music - your vids is helping me so much since i otherwise wouldnt have a teacher of any kind.

Man. 3 fingers on a fret is a real challenge for me. I physically cram them together with my other hand and still have trouble not muting the B string

[turdman]

How he unfreeze his hands doe😳, he kinda put a lot of freeze spray there :O

[josiahmoran]

Being able to play cords has given me a tremendous amount of confidence, I got my mom's guitar after she past and it's been in a closet for 7 years. Thank you for helping me get it in tune and be able to hear it again.
