I'm not self taught cause you're my teacher

Actually this is my favorite Marty instructional video. Shows how to do the scale as a whole scale and then how it works/sounds without dwelling too much on each note.

Your Awesome. ive recently been injured to the point of disability. hadn't played in abt 5 yrs, but now that this about all i can do my son decided to pick up a guitar and i now teach him and we use your lessons to teach him with and your more advanced things to help me knock off cobwebs. at 43 i hate my situation and find it hard to admit no more football with my son who is only 14 or riding bikes kinda thing either. Hell, i couldn't get in my hunting stand this year or walk our trails so had to give that up to for now at least, but we have bonded over the guitar and its made the last year a bit better sir. thank you sir for offering a free music education of higher caliber & sincerity from you because i cant afford to do what we are getting to do if it wasn't .

This quarantine thing sure has given me lots of time to practice lots of guitar

[gabeu]

I’ve been “self taught” for years and years but really I’ve just been grabbing pieces of wisdom from you and experimenting with it my own way. I start gigging next week so I have to say thank you my teacher, you’ve served me well Marty. Just bought your lead and CAGED courses online.

[ryansullivan]

Dude. I wish I would have learned this 20 years ago. Thank you so much. I’m so excited to have learned this. I’m going to practice the hell out of it and it will launch me into a higher plane.

[Yes-knzm]

marty gets my like because of all the "self taught" guitarists that would be nothing without him including myself

[aryanthapa]

As I am beginner, I do not know if it a big stuff or not, but out of numerous tutorial there is, I really for the first time understand how to use scale to play lead. This one you get to know to learn and play lead. This is not just technique tutorial, it is the application of the technique. Thanks a lot from the bottom of my heart. You do really give good stuff and keep making a difference.

Hi! These simple excerises are really good for reasons that Marty is not telling: 1) They are pretty safe patterns for effective little solos for beginners and intermediates. 2) They teach you to think horizontally along the neck which is good because most beginners still think in vertical chunks (Which is not bad, but limits expression) 3) I have found that focusiing in index and ring finger corrects many fingering wromg tendencies.
That's what I have found as an intermediate player about these.
You're a very good teacher my friend!!!

Marty, I've been playing guitar for 55 years and 45 of that has been performing 4x/week in church music. This drill is PRICELESS in 2 ways: adding some life to the sameness of the genre AND giving me a means for getting myself sharper! Thank you & God bless you.

[amrihmccartney]

Really love it when u slip that jimi hendrix’s all along the watchtower riff around 11:20, took me by surprise! This is really an eye-opener and a new insight to my guitar study, thanks marty.

[adam_-adam]

Got to give this man some credit, ive watched a bunch of his videos dating back to 2009, have learnt allot from this man. Its nice to get free good lessons.

[Richard_Lush]

Marty is such a great teacher! I also like Paul Davids. These two guys combined have taught this 61 year old lots😄

[Lola_Santoro]

You don't just provide some great lessons, but it's entertaining to see that you are really growing as a guitarist.

I have been practicing scales for so long and haven’t really known what to do with them. I feel like my eyes have been opened after watching this. Thank you 🙏🏼

[rayross]

Thanks "4" those techniques. Learning how to set up & adjust my guitar is time saving & money saving, perhaps a video on the basics for those who need it would be good.

[MrLauwersJelle]

I've been playing the rhythm guitar for all my life because I never dared to solo (and I had no knowledge). Now, in my late twenties, you literally opened up a (quite easy, as it seems!) world for me. THANK. YOU.
