I remember this being one of the first songs I learned on guitar. I was so proud of myself hahaha

[jackprescott]

I've been following you for a while now, just trying to learn guitar at 61. You are a great teacher. Thank you for making it easier for me to fulfill a dream.

[NecroGames]

This is the first and only song I learned but it gave me my roots to make some good jams on my own

Marty is just a legend. teaching millions of self taught guitarists basics every day.

[dardi]

Marty you are the reason i started playing guitar almost 3 years ago, and i just wanted tell you how much more you have made me appreciate music, and how insanely much you have taught me. You really deserve so much more for all the free content you have given us on this platform. So a million thanks from a random guy in little old Denmark!

PS. If you made a lesson on Kurt Vile´s "Pretty Pimpin" it surely wouldn´t go unappreciated ;)

[AlexToti]

Man! What a throwback! This was the first song that I ever learned on the guitar two years ago when I first started playing and I learned it by your previous tutorial for it. Beautiful memories. Great job on keeping the uploads nice and steady while still being such a passionate teacher. You are amazing Marty!

[JamesMartinBass]

Marty is the best guitar teacher ever. I hope to one day be able to beak songs down and explain technique as well as he does.

[DCZOMBI]

Please make a tutorial on Are We The Waiting/Saint Jimmy, and/or Jesus Of Suburbia (all parts). Thank you! (All by Green Day)

[kurtcobain]

My favourite green day song thanks marty!

[ldcrazy]

Another sweet tutorial. I'd love to see one for Too Dumb To Die off Green Day's last album. You can never have too much Green Day!

[BarrySmoother]

Man this song brings me so much nostalgia. I had learned this song from Marty’s older video tutorial of this song, this was the first song I learned to play thanks to Marty, I don’t think I would had even tried to play guitar in general if I never seen these videos, he made everything so simple and I loved that. back then if the tutorial wasn’t by Marty I didn’t even care aha. After learning this song my passion the music increased dramatically

[hunterburch]

Thanks so much! Lifting on the fingers to get the specific sound is what I’ve been struggling with and I couldn’t figure out how to do it till I saw this video

[jeremesearls]

You've been my go-to guy since I been practicing. Really appreciate your videos

[PCTennis]

Yes Marty you ledge I’m a beginner this really helps

[jaredwilson]

Man you been helping us out for so long! thank you sir for doing these for any song iv ever looked up how to play, and thank you for that.

[DamienMadessis]

Marty thank you for your tutorials! They help me a lot! I play guitar for about a year and you give me the feeling of being a pro every day! Thank you ! :D

[kelsohaze]

[iZeroPvP]
