Makes me cry then hits me with the "Hey Marty Schwartz here!"

[JvanH.]

One of the best songs ever written what an amazing song

[quatzu]

Me: “I’m going to learn Black.”
My Fingers: “No.”

[joshbennett]

Just started playing in November. You are truly a great teacher. I get really excited every night when my wife and daughter go to bed so i can jam out with you Marty. Ill be 40 in a few days so this is my kinda jam

[HeadBangerBoogie]

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life. I know you'll be the star in somebody else's sky, but why can't it be mine?

[UsNCollord]

Sorry I was busy singing, can you play it again?

[RCSmiths]

Pearl Jam is top 3 for me of the 90s. This is also my favorite of their catalog

[fuffytwinkle]

I've also been been playing the guitar for four years now and the ukulele for six, and I've never failed to visit Marty's page when I want to learn a new song. He has the best selection of songs to learn. Especially Pearl Jam. Black is my most favorite song and always has been, and I am extremely excited to learn it!!

Imagine taking a song that has changed millions of lives and teaching it like a pro within 15 minutes

[TheReaper]

5:55 when you let a little Eddie out in the Vocal I almost fell out of my chair, that was Gold

[corysandell]

I read tabs for 20 minutes on this song, and I just figured I’d watch a video to better explain the strum pattern. Low and behold, you not only explained the strumming pattern, but the optional chords as well. Dude, you are awesome! This song sounds awesome, and complex, but you made it very easy to understand. Thank you

[sweatcentralny]

Amazing how great you are at taking the chords and making it sound so much like the song. I know that might sound silly, but not everyone doing lessons can make the songs sound so right and so good. You are an inspiration.

[DrChristianConte]

What a phenomenal teacher! Thank you Marty for sharing your talents with those of us who want to learn guitar. Thank you so much for the way you teach, thank you for your patience, and thank you for your ability to explain things in a way that makes so much sense. I appreciate you more than I can express in a YouTube comment. Definitely sending you all my best and tons of peace (and gratitude)!

[xnayx]

dude you are AMAZING. I started learning guitar by myself from youtube 2 months ago and you teached me so much and thanks to you i learned how to play some of my favorite songs. you expain everything so good. You are a great teacher!

[ramlakhan]

One of the best songs . Absolutely amazing track. You are great dropping these legendary tracks.

[sakupakuOG]

8 years ago picked up my first guitar and stumbled upon your videos, and well, never really left. Appreciate these lessons so much, especially for this beauty of a song! Thanks, Marty!

[noelwrightpersonal]

What an awesome communicator, he explains the technical parts without making you feel stupid for not knowing already, it's like being taught by a mate! Though I wish there were millions, there is only one Marty Schwartz!! Thanks from Down Under

[eclecticsoul]

This song will always bring me to tears....just hearing Eddie cry his soul out on this song will always choke me up man

[artistryinstone]

Got it . I can sing it and play it but now I just need the little accent parts to line up . Thank you Mr Marty.

[psycoghost]

Hey Marty!
First of all I would like to thank you for your videos, I´m an amateur guitar player and do it just for fun and your Videos help a lot.

I would like to ask you if you have videos where you play the whole song from begining to the end (like a cover) and if not,
maybe it would be a nice adition to your lessons, at the end a complete song so that we could play along with it.
Keep up with your good work!
Greetings from Portugal!
