[TimSmith-nihq]

All the dislikes must’ve been Joe Walsh’s accountants 😂

[jcburger]

Thank you for the “life is good” lesson Marty. Gotta love Joe Walsh!!

[timtaylorguitarnut]

not saying im old but loved this song when I was in high school and it just came out. had the cassette and vinyl

[steventhornhill]

Thank you Marty, for every song ive learned from you. Which is atleast 10. Thanks for playing the song in your opening clip i use that so much, after i got the music down. Then i get to play along with you. I wishing you all the best. Keep up the great work!

[gmoe]

Freaking sweet lesson Marty! Such a classic tune. Keep 'em coming! 🤘

[candibaileyart]

Hey Marty! Just wanted to say thank you for being such an awesome teacher!!! I’ve only been learning for about a year(ish) and I’ve learnt more from you than from anywhere else. You make everything so clear and easy to understand! And above all, you always make me laugh and have fun while I’m learning. I just invested in a Fender Stratocaster American Special after having played a cheap old second hand guitar, and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done! I love it so much. Im so excited to continue on my guitar journey, and I don’t think I’d have been as consistent with practicing were it not for your channel! Don’t ever stop!!! \m/

Holy shit yes I’ve been waiting on this one for so long I love joe Walsh can you please do a lesson on Rocky Mountain way or long cool woman

[oolabob]

This is the real thing. Such a great tune with a great display of the attitude, the sound, and the humor of a truly great guitarist...and your breakdown of it is like the secret of making magic with a guitar is being handed to me.
I like this more than is really possible to say on the internet.
10 thumbs up!!!

[tylerpuleo]

I have watched your lessons for a while, may I say this is amazing and accurate! Great job!!

[christopherobrien]

Marty and Joe come together, two guitar heroes, I don't know how far I'll get with this, but by hell, I'll have a great time trying. You can't not.

[zactarr]

I've been subscribed to you for several years and I really appreciate your tutorials. I started by watching Keith urban 30 songs in 30 days. He taught me the basics but I learn all my favorite songs from you. So thank you so much! Will u please do a tutorial for everything changes by staind? I've looked everywhere online and can't find one. I'd love to be able to play that song. It's one of my favorites

[JMAIS]

I appreciate all that you do for a hobby player like me! Thank you.

[alfonsomiguel]

What an epic tone you created for this one. Can you do lessons on some more of his less popular tunes? He’s got so many tasteful that you can’t even find the key of online.

[Snakefinger]

When I first attempted to learn this song I thought Joe was using a slide on some of the parts so I tuned my guitar to G or A I don't remember which but the singing part always stumped me, we didn't have the Internet back then. Now I can see what he's doing and coupled with your lesson it's much easier. Thanks.

[MJR]

Yes! Been wanting to learn this since like 1979, dude.

[READERSENPAII]

man what a great song to learn good technique fundamentals. Perfecting those bends and slides is what makes playing this not necessarily hard but it takes practice if you want it to sound legit.
