I’m binge watching these lessons like it’s a Netflix show

[lj.]

Today's my first day even holding a guitar, and in three hours I learned the parts of the guitar, how to tune it, I learned about the strings, I learned about my amp, and I learned these 1 finger power chords, all thanks to you! Thank you for helping an absolute beginner! I feel super great and I hope to review and practice this more during my down time.

My ad was Fender Play literally dissing people who make guitar tutorials on YouTube and saying to quit that for their app. Watch out Marty.

I'm teaching myself bass, keyboard & guitar at age 77 with zero background training - just the love of music since 1955 when I was 10. You're excellent Marty.

Those 3 power chords make me feel like a god of the guitar and I've been playing for 2 day XD Can't wait to learn more!!!

When I was learning guitar and first heard "palm muting" I thought my teacher said "Paul muting" and I thought a legendary guitar player named Paul created this super cool technique and then I realized it was palm because.... you use your
Anyways yeah I was disappointed that paul wasn't real

Marty: play about 5 min a day
Me: playing 5 hours Every day until my fingers bleed

It honestly seems a little overwhelming to play guitar. I’m still gonna go get one and start learning but it does seem like a daunting thing to learn.

[khushalkhans]

5:02 lmao! Man this guy is amazing! Great teacher and seems like a great person too!

[ratladie]

Finally someone explained to me how to simultaneously press one string and mute another using just one finger. I could never get that right and continuously failed to play power chords. You're the best, Marty!! I'm trying to learn how to play for the 100th time... At 31... I'm feeling this time will be successful!

I'm a 68 year old with ailments. You and my cheap guitar mean a lot to me. Thanks.

Are you even a guitar instructor if you don't throw in a few little bursts of freestyle to show off?
