Can everyone agree that this is literally the happiest song ever written

[belguitou]

The "put the capo on the 7th fret" part was pretty easy

[queirozgabi]

“Not as hard as it seems but not beginner” - perfect definition for my level rn

[AidanDeLorey]

I'm 14, and i absolutely love this song. I just casually performed for the first time yesterday at my local pizza place, and it got a smashing applause at the end. Older folks came up to me afterward, going, "You're too young to even know like this song. What're you doing?". All I can say is a big shout out to Marty for my first applause. It's deeply appreciated!

You gotta record a video of you just playing this song. No vocals, no stopping for explanation, just pure Marty goodness. I'd put it on repeat and just listen all day long. The tone you were getting was amazing.

It seems hard, then it seems easy, THEN ITS REALLY HARD

One of the most beautiful songs ever written. And playing it solo, just guitar is absolutely divine, heavenly.

Ay Marty. Picked up an old guitar tonight for the first time in a long while. Had sold my pride and joy recently after a couple of years of not playing and general dispiritedness. Tried to play this wonderful song (the little I can remember), and opened the Tube to listen to it. When I saw your video near the top, it reminded me of how much you taught me over the years when I was learning to play (and how much you will help me now as I am about to re-learn!). Thanks for all the lessons, Marty. You're a gem. Love the new channel. Glad to see you're looking well.

What a great song, and a fantastic lesson. Seems like a perfect tune for an intermediate player like me to hone some skills. Not overly difficult but will take a lot of practice to make it flow.

[hannahg]

I want to learn this for my grandad. He loves the Beatles and was an amazing guitarist and was in a band last 60s/early70s before he got Parkinson’s. He loves hearing me play

[rayross]

Excellent lesson Marty. My request is you take a vacation, don't over work yourself. You're workin' pretty hard man. :)

[chris]

This is one of them songs that capture exactly the feeling of the name of the song. Whenever I wake up and open the curtains and the light floods in I think of this song.

[MrVhutchinson]

Nobody and I mean absolutely nobody breaks a song down like Mr Schwartz. Most others kind of rush through it and really don’t breakdown the chords like he does. Fantastic work man and much appreciated!

[WayneJetski_]

Years after starting guitar, one thing that I love about these videos is that he just plays it right at the beginning. It's a real time saver 👍

[TheBenoonjamingo]

For anyone having trouble, there is a tab on ultimate guitar tabs that shows the strings that you will need to emphasize. So you can play along with Marty using it although the tab isn't exactly the same.

[PhilMethot]

To be able to learn such an iconic song in 23:58 minutes is such a joy. Much appreaciation, Marty!

[kriafettuccine]

The whole time he played the intro I felt so calmed and relaxed

[Paeddyful]

Terrific tutorial! Some constructive feedback: it might be nice to have time stamps of sorts for the different sections of the song and stages of depth in terms of explanation. That way, people can jump directly to parts they feel they still struggle with or haven't fully grasped yet. Great stuff nonetheless, please keep it up, this is a wonderful song with a lot more going on than one might think on a superficial listen and having a tutorial like this is a great help!

[stephenlouden]

I always thought I'd never learn this song let alone guitar chords at all but between your fun, slow, broken down tutorial and practicing each section on their own, I got them all down cleanly and then put them all together. Friends and family are now completely stunned and tell me that I'm so great even though I'm a beginner in my mind. I'm very appreciative and thankful that there are pros like you and some others that motivate and encourage me to continue practicing every day for at least 30 to 40 min. it's amazing what one can accomplish with a little passion, dedication, and instruction. thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you do for us Marty.. you are THE MAN! God bless and good luck.
