I've been picking up and putting down my guitar for 20 years because I never progressed at all. Never could play a whole song due to solo fright. You make learning this easy and fun and it instills confidence in my playing. Your wind cries Mary lesson made possible my first complete song possible. I'd listen to the allman brothers and thought I'd never be able to play those up and down the neck scales but you just shatters that feeling with this lesson. I know a lesson on this isn't new, there's probably 1000 on here but I love the way you teach and can slow down in the middle of a lick and show it all. I just wanted to say thank you and please keep them coming.

I learn a lot from you just watching on my break without my guitar

[dustinvandyke]

Marty, I get chills watching you play all over and around these scales. It's absolutely extraordinary.

[MartyMusic]

Thanks for supporting Marty-Music! Let me know what lesson you'd like next???

[winterband]

This might be the best guitar video of all time. There's a lot to digest and some great playing to listen to.

Marty..I have to tell you that you have helped me so much, I'm a old burnt out drummer for over 35 years with several road bands, , I pick up the guitar a log time ago but have never really progressed until I found you...THANK YOU SO MUCH BROTHER FOR ALL YOU DO....Jim hannond louisiana

I love the way you show this. Basic run up of the scale over the jam track. Then you throw some spice on that scale and show what it can really sound like with a little soul

[indiemaya]

Thank you for all the lessons Marty. Really cool/generous of you to take the time to make these videos. This one is my daily practice run through :)

13:05 🤘😎 he’s human after all! These scale runs are helping me climb this hill of progress so much! Thank you!

[terrystewart]

Dude I Love your lessons. They help me understand the things my guitar teacher doesn't explain well. Keep it up !

[erikcalonius]

Thanks, Marty--with your kind and patient teaching, you've opened my eyes! 
It's a great Father's Day present.

[patramirez]

Marty you are like my best friend and don't even know it.you are down to earth, teach and explain in simple terms we can understand.ive been playing for years and still you explain things so well.i appreciate all your lessons. Thanks Marty!

[putkettleonfilms]

Sounds like The Allman Brothers. Thank you for the lesson, you are a great teacher (been strumming for years but only just starting out with pentatonic, melody etc).

[francescostano]

Ciao Marty, sei bravissimo e ti voglio ringraziare!!
Ti seguo da molti anni e grazie a te è cresciuta la passione per la chitarra 🎸

[chrisgeo]

I am not a beginner but I am was self taught and unfortunately I wasn’t a good teacher. Your videos fill in the portion that I never quite got right. I also love that you don’t edit out mistakes because every guitarist makes them and many newer players get frustrated watching YouTube lessons because the person presenting edits their videos to be flawless. That isn’t to say that they aren’t good or cannot play a piece flawlessly but I guarantee most of them didn’t do it in one take. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and presenting it in a way where even those of us who have been playing for years can see and understand things that maybe eluded us.

[Gman]

You know what Marty, I've been following for years and you've taught me so much that I've got nothing but respect and admiration for you, but damn it feels good to see you get buzz sounds and screw up notes in the scale !

[rancidfarts]

I definitely dig this one thanks. Just listening to the video with my eyes closed and hearing the notes with a pair of studio headphones really makes those notes sound so beautifully put together. Thank you good job.

Great video Marty, I’ve been learning a lot from the content you’ve shared and your good approach. Thank you.

[Peter-cvhh]

[ryanberry]
