Beginner Guitar Lesson 6 C Major Chord

My Favorite Guitar + Filming Gear at Sweetwater

[davidsingleton]

Since I found these lessons I've been practicing at least half hour 45 minutes a day (minus a day or two), since I started, about 3 and 1/2 weeks ago. I'm 44 years old, I had never really been able to play any instrument before then. Since I found these lessons, I've gained an increased sense of self-worth. After I learned the D chord, I cried real tears of joy that I actually could play an instrument. Maybe not well, yet, but obviously that comes with practice. Plus, it's been a good therapy-- recently I had to bury one of my dogs. Learning how to play has given me some solace. Thank you for posting these videos. you've helped a sad sack find his way closer to the light.

Love the fact that you keep saying "five minutes a day for two months" and we will be "soaring." In every beginner video you say this, and it's so encouraging, because it's so easy to get discouraged when you're first learning. I began learning guitar about 10 years ago, and got discouraged soon after. If you were teaching me, I would have continued, and probably have been a pro by now.

i hope you realize what a difference you've made for so many guitar players :) amazing teacher you answer all the questions i have its like im siting there with you!

[SumBoynline]

Something about the words you choose and how you talk just gives me hope that I will one day be great, I’ve just started a week ago and these videos have shown me just how much practice helps. 5 minutes a day always gets me in the mood for an hour a day

Picked up my first guitar at 46. You're making it fun and easy to stay motivated. Thanks from Alabama.

My wife and I are both taking your lessons and are loving every moment. We recently bought a home so it always seems like we're so busy with work, putting the house together, our pets... but your lessons allow us to sit together, talk and have fun! Keep the lessons coming!

Hi Marty and ALL guitars enthusiasts! I’m retired and decided I wanted to cross one off the bucket list and learn to play. I purchased my Yamaha FSX800C for Christmas 2023 then I found YOU! I really enjoy your teaching method, your sense of humor & your encouraging words! I like yourself have small hands with sausage fingers and find it difficult to make my fingers stretch and lay down “clean” chords. But 5 minutes a day turns into an hour and I’m having a love affair with my guitar! So many times I wanted to quit because my fingers would KILL other strings but I’ve kept at it and it gets better & better with each passing day! Thanks Marty, you’re an exceptional teacher who is making my journey worthwhile & fun!

I’ve only been playing for 4 days but these lessons have been so helpful and easy to follow, I feel like a natural. I’ve always gotten discouraged that I wasn’t picking up guitar right away and quit - not this time. I really appreciate the work you put into these lessons. You’re a wonderful teacher! Looking forward to completing the whole series.

Now seriously, bless this guy. I'm learning A LOT!

2 weeks in around an hour a day I have impressed so many people. I enjoy the way you teach. Other videos I have watched the person spends a lot of time talking about themselves. You teach the actual way. I have made insane progress!

Been practicing for 10 days now. Only been watching your videos. I've got all the chords down up till this point. And I have this one for the most part. Sometimes my fingers don't want to stretch all the way. Seriously, if I had you as a teacher when my Dad wanted me to learn 25 years ago, there's no telling where I'd be. And I have noticed each subsequent video has less views than the previous one. Practice makes perfect. Believe me. 25 years ago, I didn't care. I never thought I'd be making any sounds on a guitar. Now I know how to play all the chords you've taught so far. It's crazy. I've been reluctant to go to F, but I know I have to.

Marty, you're the man. These lessons are making quarantine time feel a lot more productive.

Only 2 more Marty Music videos until i’m Jimmy Hendrix

[AamirKhan-rtmy]

Just over two months in. Just missing this chord for now. Learned F before C, and now coming back to C. Not sure why I found C so hard to remember. Marty is an amazing teacher. Concise, repetitive, reinforcing, and reassuring. Just a phenomenal teacher.
