Dude this guy is amazing, all those ads on YouTube say “it’s hard to find good videos, because they go to fast and don’t make any sense”, well sorry YouTube, this guy is amazing. Keep up the good work Marty

[thaimatatrs]

This dude is literally the best teacher I’ve ever had period. Ever.

Me: I don’t need sleep I need longer fingers

Dude 36 hours later from never picking up a guitar and and I'm already playing About a Girl by Nirvana and switching between Asus2, A, G, D and E minor. My only regret is not having started this earlier. Thank you so much man.

[zackphelps]

I can remember the chords and play them individually but I'm so slow to transition from one to the other. I'm hoping it comes with time

[subterfusion]

[xOHxSNAPSx]

The freeze spray thing gets me everytime😂

Marty Doug here I'm 72 just started playing thanks to u never had so much fun can't put my guitar down thanks again

[nonono]

These have been great. My job is shut down for a month so I bought a used guitar to entertain myself. Your videos have helped so much. Stay safe and thank you.

Yo this is my burner account, but seriously, this is a phenomenal series. Ive tried Guitar twice before, once at 16 and again at 29. Both times I quit after a handful of attempts. I’m now 36 and after about 2 weeks and repeatedly going over these first 4 episodes, I think I’m hooked. Thanks for making it easy and fun.

[spraym]

Marty you make this so much fun. I'm a beginner and so pumped because of your videos

[BenPole]

I’d like to think I’m ‘Intermediate’ I know a variety of chords, a few scales and arpeggios...but just left my learning at that, I got frustrated when people around me could play the same chords and scales as me but just apply it in such a better way, I couldn’t understand why.

I’ve been watching through these videos and what I’ve been missing is really understand what them simple chords are and what they do.

TECHNIQUE is key here and this guy right here is teaching it perfectly. Even though I can play all of these I’m still watching these videos all the way through.

His enthusiasm, just after explaining the D chord “I know you’re gonna love it” just shows how much he wants you to apply the things he’s taught already.
Subbed!

[notreallytommy]

I love how you show examples of songs that contain the chords we already learnt, helps a lot with getting a perception of how the switching between chords work and also is very encouraging to keep practicing :)

marty: 5 minutes a day


me: practising 5 hours a day

[MrPelotero]

Thank you very much for your lessons. At 64, ready to retire soon, I finally decided to learn to play the guitar. Not in high school school, nor college, I’ve had a more effective, good, and caring teacher like you. Your lessons are greatly appreciated. Please don’t stop. Thank you.

I'm progressing at 1 video per day I think it's perfect for my speed of learning and the time I'm putting in. I am excited to keep watching, just don't want to get too far ahead of myself or fall behind. 1 video a day is perfect for now.

[humantwist-offcap]

This is just cracking me up, I feel like a little kid every time I do something and it works. Thanks for these videos, I feel like I’m really making a lot of progress faster than I could have imagined

[kai]

anyone else having issues that it isn’t playing right where the D sounds more like buzzing kinda ?
