Thanks for all the free lessons. I do find them very, very useful. Have just taken up the guitar at 74.

Hi Marty! I'm really thankful for this video, now because of you I finally know some scales which will help me a lot in my guitar journey. Glad you still upload these.

Hey mate
Your a bloody legend, I’ve recently fallen back in love with the guitar because my kids have started to learn. So after probably 20 years of not touching an instrument I’m absolutely loving your beginner videos.
I never really got anywhere with chords and rhythm in my teen years but your teaching style is amazing and in the last few weeks of watching you I have picked up more skills then I ever had before 👌

been following you for ab 10 years on my music journey and still learning from you sir! the G.O.A.T. of guitar teachers.

huge thanks for all you do, Marty.

Glad to see your still jamming and giving free YouTube lessons. You really have helped me and a lot of people, and I appreciate it greatly.

I bought your beginner blues course a few years ago... I think it was bundled with something, a more advanced blues course maybe. Life got in the way at the time, but recently I thought I'd dig it out and start in on it. Problem is, it's nowhere to be found. I looked through all my DVDs, boxes, drawers... just gone.

Much as I like physical media, it would be great if all your courses were available digitally, so all I'd need is my login details, and if I lost those I could restore/reset them.

Thanks brother and take care.

Marty alone is teaching millions to be the next guitar players, it’s truly incredible. I have nothing but full respect for Marty ❤️

I started learning in 87. I had "The Guitar Handbook" and, tabs from Guitar magazine and others. Also friends who were learning in school. Those plus a couple of accomplished players to correct my technique and show me a few things from time to time. I practiced sometimes 5 to 7 hours a day and, although I was dedicated to learning, I watched this thinking "Man, if I'd have had Marty in my life back then, I'd have made much faster progress and, I'd have developed a repertoire of songs sooo much faster "
Love you Marty because, although I can play I still learn from you all the time and, I admire you giving free lessons to the newcomers who have come to the right place if they want to realize they're potential more quickly than guys like me who didn't have the privilege and good fortune of having a great teacher to take help them progress so much faster without a personal guitar teacher.
You're one of the good guys. The world needs more like you who don't insist on theory first. Hearing yourself jamming for the first time means you'll pursue it because you're having fun right away!
Theory can come later, but having you to help in those crucial initial stages must be such an invaluable thing, I can't say enough about how much I've always dug what you do for the guitar community! My community back then was so limited it barely qualified as a community at all!
Keep up the great and encouraging work brother. You're such a giving person, it's admirable.
I appreciate you man, more than I can verbalize!✌️♥️🎸🎶🙏

Whenever I lose motivation I look for one of Marty's videos. Someday maybe this one will be easy for me, but right now it's a worthy challenge that I'm going to use to replace some of my warmup that has gotten boring. And now, I'm ready to tackle a new song, which will also be a Marty tutorial!

Thanks for the free courses, Marty! Bless you, brother!

Marty I’ve been watching your videos since I was 13, now that I’m in my mid 20’s and haven’t played since high school I’ve decided to pick it up and dedicated to excelling far past what I was. It’s nice to learn from you again old friend

[JonathanLopezUT]

Man I've got to the point where I can follow along and a ten minute lesson really does take 10 minutes. Thanks!

[andyed]

Great lesson as usual Marty and a big shout out for helping Carl Brown get his channel back up and running, awesome mate 😎✌️

[darthj_der]

I just did that free course a cple weeks ago on your site! Super good exercises on there! I found the free katana patches on there too. My bad.lol. ive found Practicing scales with a backing track or looper has really helped me to be more musical. And understand things in context better. Like the natural minor scale over a minor progression sounds more melodic instead of just the minor pentatonic imo. Things like that.Gr8 vid as always!!

[thegiantpuppy]

Hi Marty, wazzup! Just came back on your channel, It's been a while. I got super busy with the job that I didnt like. anyways, I just came here to say thank you for all the lessons you gave for all these years. You are like my guitar father. I was just teenage boy back when I started watching your videos and that was 2011 and now I am a grown up dude in his mid-20s. You are a big part of my life to be honest and that'swhy I wanted to say thank you. You kinda ignited back my passion in music and I am thinking at the moment if I should follow my dreams instead of being an employee. I just want your opinion if it's ok with you. Should I try pursuing music career or should I stick with my day job?

[mrjc]
