I’m cooper and I’m 15 years old. Got started with guitar about 5 months ago, went into my brothers closet grabbed his Yamaha Pacifica and amp that hasn’t bin touched in over 3 years, looked up my favorite band, Sabbath of course and you were the first vid that popped up. With ur amazing patients and detail when teaching I haven’t stopped watching u since ! You are changing my life one vid at a time !

Marty music is the best breakdown of complicated riffs anywhere.

Hey Marty. How you doing? I live in Bangalore, India and love playing the blues. Just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you. You are an amazing teacher and guitarist. Enjoy your lessons very much. I was stuck in the pentatonic shapes but your lessons on the extended scales in the E root and the extended scale on the A root were revelations and I am able to play so much better and am beginning to solo all over the neck. And enjoy learning to play classic rock songs.
Love the way you teach and your sense of humour. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. Anytime you want to come to India on holiday or on work, give me a holler. You’ve got a friend here. Cheers man, and thank you.

Awesome Marty, CCR passed me by back in the day (I’m 50 now gulp), a few weeks back I got their greatest hits, sooo many great songs!

I just started playing electric a few months ago. I have learned so much from your channel and enjoy the live jam sessions you have with guests on your couch. I have watched many different people online try to teach how to play specific songs but none have the ability to break it down like you. You make it easy to follow along and explain each note to play as you go along. Keep up the great work!

[RCSmiths]

One of my favorite songs by CCR. Really appreciate this tutorial Marty. Now I get to play one of my favorites!

[tetragon]

So authentic, I could already hear the chopper in my mind.

Nice lesson Marty! I see that you play mostly in Standard tunning, but if you want to play it the way John Fogerty does, then you have to tune your guitar to Standard D tuning. His brother Tom played the rhythm part in Standard tuning and both parts overlayed which gave CCR that great tone. You can also see that John plays his parts in D tunning just by looking at their concert footage as well. Play these songs in any tunning you want, it'll all sound good!

I grew some whiskers & my playing improved, but then again maybe it was all the great guitar lessons here at Marty Music.
People Get Ready by Curtis Mayfield, please.

Marty can you do I heard it trough the grape vine? Please

[rxrigon]

Hey your stuff. As an old guitarist I emerged from the wilderness of about 30 odd years and your lessons have taught me all those songs I thought I could never learn. THANK YOU

[v.s.]

Thanks for the lesson, Marty. How about "Born on the Bayou", next?

[wezinald]

[rebelvodka]
