Sometimes I just lay in bed at night and think about how people used to learn to play guitar without Marty

I was fighting with depression and then i bought a guitar 3 years ago and playing guitar helped me a lot to get better in life

Your instruction has been amazing. Started learning guitar 20 years ago and never followed up. I always loved guitar but I always had a learning block of some type. Your videos have been such a gift. I am a paramedic who suffers from PTSD. I have been using guitar for therapy.

I've been playing for nearly 7 years yet I'm still a sucker for videos like this!

I never realized you interviewed Ed King. My father was the stage manager for Lynyrd Skynyrd in the late 60s early 70s, and back in 2010 we took a trip to Nashville and I met Ed King and went to his house for dinner. Great experience and a great guy. Rest in Peace.

Hey Marty, I'm a 39 year old dude just learning guitar for the first time. I just want to thank you so much for making these videos, you've helped me more than anyone else. Hope you're doing okay. Much love man! Keep up the great work ❤️

I actually learned the basics of playing guitar from your old lessons on these songs years ago! Its good to see your still teaching beginners.

[rockinbobokkin]

I don't know how he does it, but I feel like Marty is my actual friend.
I know he's just a guy on the internet, but this dude touches me.

Been playing 2 months and can play 8 songs, gonna be a lot more after today! Thanks Marty, best teacher I ever had

[chikondimukuseti]

I started with u Marty 3 years ago from nothing. Now i can play more than 50 songs. Thank you so much

[kenschlegel]

Thank you Marty, I have learned so much from you since jumping off the cliff and pursuing basic guitar after COVID grounded us all. 😎

"Wish You Were Here" was my first song to learn playing a guitar. I'm strongly inspired by David Gilmour. He and the band (Pink Floyd) saved my life.

I was 13 and started playing with your help. Learned a ton, got my finger smashed off at 18. Just yesterday at 24 I picked it up since I’ve built some skin on my finger back up. So glad to see Marty’s still here.

As an "intermediate" player, I still very much enjoy learning from Marty, especially since my rediscovering the craft in my 60s a couple years ago. There are times when I think of just retiring and hanging out on a main street corner and playing & singing these 10 songs over & over-- just for the "totin' around money" -- and it truly wouldn't even feel like working. Love it! Thanks so much, Marty!

[codyjcunningham]

Marty, I am 31 years old and have been watching your content since the beginning! I was truly in a rut as a young novice player until you came along. The 17th "Feb 2022" of next month I will have been playing for 20 years and I owe a large chunk of that to you! Thanks so much my friend. You are truly a master of the craft😎

[philipstrutt]

Man you are the reason I still play guitar! I have tried so many other instructors and YouTubers over the years but your tutorials are still the best by a country mile. Keep up the awesome work! 🤘🏻

[aintgotnone]

i apologize for my photo but you've literally taught me and helped me through my dads death 8 years ago and helped me accomplish so much since i saw you at 16. Now i reap the fruits of my labor because of you man. your the best inspiration for anyone. you show if you have perseverance, you can make it. so i thank you

Started learning guitar in February this year, 2024 aged 59. Discovered Marty June 2024 after hitting 60 & the videos have been incredibly helpful. The frustration is real though!

[classajobs]

Thanks Marty - I was alway nervous to get playing and learning. You made it easy for me and my 10 year old to learn! We appriciate the hours you spend spreading the love of guitar.
