Right before the video ad: “ learning guitar on YouTube doesn’t work”
Me: well shit

Marty: This is a guitar Me: Woah, slow down

I like how pros are supportive of beginners and don’t expect money from it.
I bought my first guitar yesterday despite my dads wishes. He’s against me learning guitar and definitely isn’t supportive of getting me guitar lessons. I’m all on my own here and I’m glad there’s stuff like this out there.

I just started a month ago, I'm constantly amazed how difficult it is to keep my fingers flexible enough to do some cords until you do them hundreds of times. Stay motivated boys and girls.

I don't know if you are going you are going to read this but I just want to share this. 3 years ago, I got my first gutiar, and the absolute first video I watched after I came home was this video. I am so glad that it was my first guitar lesson. It set me on the right track to learn how to play guitar, and most importantly HAVE FUN. Now after 3 years and countless hours of practicing, I now am into modern metal and jazz fusion. I am spending my time practicing Jason Richardson and John petrucci songs as well as writing my own material. I can't thank Marty enough for what he has done for me and countless other people. Thank you so much for making all these videos for people to watch for free. And to all the people that just started playing guitar and stumbled across this video. You will improve at guitar. No matter how difficult it may be at times, don't be discouraged. You just have to give it some time and practice. You will certainly be able to play crazy sweep picking licks and shred like nobody's business. It just takes some practice. But most importantly, remember to have fun. You will be able to play how you imagine yourself playing in your dreams as I have done the same thing. Thank you Marty. Without you, I wouldn't have gotten to this point. Cheers!

Now that I actually learned something, I just need to buy the electric guitar. 🗿

Marty: play 5 minutes a day, maybe 10 if you're excited
Me: *plays 2 hours a day until I can't feel my fingers*

I've been a bassist for about a year now, and just now picked up a electric guitar.
I definitely have kind of an advantage since I have pre-knowledge of music, but it's still very hard 🤣
I love guitars though, and I'm excited to watch more of these videos and learn

Recently got my Christmas present early and it was a electric guitar, I’ve never played a guitar and I’ve always wanted to start, so I decided to and for 2 days I couldn’t do anything right and thought about stopping but I looked up beginner lessons and found this and it really helped me, thank you for helping me start playing, much love🙏🏽❤️

Just inherited my dad's vintage (made in 1975) electric guitar and my God I'm in tears that Marty is teaching the same way my dad started to teach me. God bless you sir. Will be watching all lessons 🫶🏾 thank you thank you THANK YOU

Best guitar lesson I've seen on YouTube. Most people just tell you to play random chords. You gave me explanations of everything and you even gave me excersizes

Hi Marty, my 2 hopes in life was to learn a foreign language and play a musical instrument, I’m 76 this year the language thing was impossible so just got a Les Paul look alike this week an Eastcoast L1 in Flame Blue it’s beautiful. I’ve watched many of you guitar guys on YouTube before getting my guitar but keep coming back to you Marty, you’re great easy to understand and you don’t push to hard, doing your lesson 1 riffs already and it’s only day 2 of playing, thanks so much what a nice guy. Keep it up. Richard
