John said himself “I may not be the most technically proficient guitarist, but I can be original.” Proof right here

Definetly the best Christmas song ever written. Mari Carrie eat your heart out.

1:37 marty saying “good little boy” with that look in his eyes is nightmare fuel

[Htchens]

i don't get people that thumbs down teaching vids. Marty is amazing and generous with his guitar knowledge!

[varunagrawal]

Man. I was soo disappointed when I opened the lesson and saw that Marty WASN'T wearing a Santa hat...

[Germoney]

Marty's a mind reader... exactlly the song I was looking for.

[hernerwerzog]

Thanks Marty, really didn't expect that song!

Great tutorial, only the B Minor and the strechtes are giving me headaches, but I'm working on it :)

[jerryhuff]

I could listen to you playing that intro on repeat. That was fantastic.

[ErrkG]

Marty is definitely the very best. Other instructional videos make it seem harder. With Marty I end up being able to play it.

[johnhensley]

most excellent lesson Marty, and a totally captivating song anytime of the year..thank you for bringing this to life again..this progression blows me away everytime..love it..

[brianprescott]

I’m glad my Friday morning started out with a new jam from Marty!

[jimijoni]

Hi Marty. I gave up guitar 25 years ago because I couldn't play. These lessons have got me strumming again. You're a legend. Please do a tutorial on Rene and Georgette Magritte with their dog after the war 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[RCSmiths]

A fun and great song for the holidays! Great lesson man!

[SolracJr]

I'm loving the Christmas song lessons! ❤😱🎅

This video was EXTREMELY helpful! Not only did the finger placements simplify chord transitions, but the Bm sequence when you go from 224422 to 004400 helped GREATLY! I was going from 224422 to 224452 which was MUCH harder until you showed me that trick!

[rileymaestro]

I HAVEN'T EVEN FINISHED WATCHING YET AND I'M JUST SO EXCITED YOU DID THIS THANK YOU OMG one of fave songs, so many covers, so catchy, so lyrical, love the inner harmonies, YES! woooohoooo hehe Hello from Canada btw....

[ranveer]

ooohoo new gibson acoustic ! Great tutorial Marty.

[Physicskid]

It's such a coincidence ( or maybe fate ? ) that this was the song my work colleague and I were planning on playing next week at a school here in Japan ! I'll be sure to use those chord embellishments, makes it sound all the more authentic. As always, thanks so much Marty ! :)

[dennis]

Just wanted to say thanks to Marty for helping me as a beginner guitarist. Much love from Montreal❤️

I was just playing this the other day and thinking, “I don’t think Marty’s ever done a lesson on this one. I know Justin did a few years.” And there you are 😲 How crazy is that. I’m a Marty psychic 😂 I love your lessons, your walk through style is tops with me. 👏 Once again
