I hired Marty in early 2000s. Probably 2002. He was just starting out as far as I can tell (Youtube did not exist for many years later) Marty back then, like now is a patient and well thought out educator in music. The most genuine musician perhaps I have ever met over 20 years of playing. I'm just saying. He taught me a ton in a short amount of time.

5:35...sudden break from STP into Pearl Jam just because. Ha! Thanks, Marty! You're awesome. Thanks for helping to show me how to play one of my favorites.

[jojohurtt]

How could anyone dislike Marty? Love you and your lessons man.

Whenever I hear Plush or Creep I get goose bumps. I'm not sure what forgotten teenager me memory is in there but it has to be something. Thanks again for the awesome lessons.

[djb]

Thanks for all the lessons, Marty. My solo act would not be the same without you. Best wishes for a great 2024.

Marty I can’t tell you how many times I watched this to learn Plush, and every single time I cracked up during your Eddie Vender impression / joke haha! 5:35

Ive been following you for close to seven years now since i started playing guitar, this song has been giving me so many troubles but you came back into my life to help me learn and play it. I thank you good sir!

[michaelzborowskyii]

It was that one crazy chord that kept me from figuring out this song. Its not an easy chord to nail but at least now i know where my fingers are supposed to land.

Hey Marty! Just wanted to thank you so much for having such a dope channel and being such an amazing teacher. I've got a 2 year old boy, and when he was an infant, for some random reason, he would only calm down if I sang "Plush" to him. It was a failsafe. Cut to a year later...I've been coming to your channel for a couple months now and just learned Plush from you...I was outside playing it, and when I finished, my boy turned around and said "Yay, daddy!" and ran over and gave me a big hug. Coolest moment of my life...and I have you to thank. Grateful. Continue to rock on brother and I will too!

So the drummer says I want to sing Plush. I say 'OK' and here's this really simple and easy to learn lesson/version. Thanks Marty! It made my job so much easier!

my guy made like the news media in the 90’s and added in some eddie vedder while talking about STP. love it.

[robbery]

Very easy to play but it's a powerful and impressive piece for campfire! Oh man, I love STP!

[latouselatrec]

I first met marty on a dark rainy night.. i was down and i was out . Ill never forget what he said. You look like you need to learn a song. He started teaching me we"ll sing in the sunshine. We played that song all night long. He used me and i used him and neither one cared. He can teach me a song anytime

[jamesreilly]

As an experienced player, I enjoy your lessons... great format - MAY THE SCHWARTZ BE WITH YOU!

I love the subtle (or not so subtle) substitution of Even Flow lyrics. Over 20 some years ago a Seattle radio host on KISW had referred to them as Stone Gossard Pirates.

[mannymorocco]

This kind man has taught me and so many kid how to play our favorite songs 😊

[chadgarrett]

Marty. I just wanted to thank you for all of the time you put into your videos. I've been playing for 30 years but you always give me new ideas. I appreciate it.

[fajamm]

I still tear up whenever I look at the Don Chikee home run ball I caught at the '78 World Series. A true legend.

[joeshmoe]

OK, back to try this again....
my baby finger on the EbM7 chord just does NOT want to be on top! This is going to take some training
New chords always a challenge, even after decades of playing. Great tutorial.

[jasonanderson]

Marty you are the best man, I picked up guitar only a little over 2 years ago and you have taught me almost everyone song I play starting with Black bird. Thank you so much
