I got a ad that said YouTube isn’t the best place to learn guitar

[Blueeyeswhiteedgelord]

it's not even the whole guitar help thing, he's just so likable

[linkd]

For anyone out there that not 12 and just starting like they should have, let me be a glimmer of hope. Im 22 and just starting and have never picked up a guitar. I realized late music was for me and theres no time to waste but there is still plenty of time! I got the base line down in one day! Thanks to Marty

[filipobrovac]

Bro every time I search a song and guitar, this guy appears, respect

[PurpleOverdrive]

This is the very tutorial that I saw and learnt from almost 6 years ago, I was around 10 years old and I was trying my dad's Fender Strat for the first time. Now I am 16 and I must show my appreciation to the one that got me started all together. It's insane to see how much I've progressed over the years. Many thanks Marty!

YouTube ad: Says online guitar tutorials don’t teach you anything
Me: Clicks skip on ad and watches this man to prove them wrong

[Tenacious_Schemer]

5 minutes in and I can play this riff already after been playing guitar for 6 months, you rock

[clairvoyant_eclipse]

yo im 14 and this is the first song ive attempted to learn on guitar, thanks a lot man :)

[SecPlate]

I’ve been attempting to teach myself guitar on and off for a decade. Your channel has really helped me. Your breakdowns are so easy to track and follow. Thank you, my man.

[robkeyse]

Just bought my first electric guitar and this is the first riff I've learnt, thank you Marty!!!

[johnnyenglish]

I'm twelve, and the amount of things this channel has taught me, is just amazing . I've been practicing guitar for about six months now and I can play many riffs . Now I am saving up for an electric guitar because I listen to hard rock and that's hard to to on acoustic. Thanks a lot!

[limedk]

Hey marty! Could you make a lesson for the solo on seven nation army? It would be so awesome!

[Yarikk]

This is the first song I learned when I finally picked the guitar up after 30 odd years of thinking the great guitarists were wizards and loving the music and thinking I could never do it, they are and I still cant do it like them but Marty shows us peasants how to play some cool stuff when we have the time. This is still the first thing I play when I pick up a guitar. Ive added here and there to make my own version but Ill always remember coming across this channel and learning how to do it with just one finger, then the power chords. It really was a great feeling being able to knock this down. You are doing the Lords work Marty.

[danielking]

Thanks for the help with the rift. I’m 60 and learning the guitar. My only word of advice to anyone is to enjoy the process of playing and don’t compare yourself to others. I know I’m better than I was 6 months ago. My goal is not to be a pro musician but to embrace the discipline that it takes play music. If I can keep practicing and learning then I’ve accomplished a lot.

[brutalangel]

Thanks so much man. your actually the best teacher out of any subjects I found. I love this channel man.

[NabbitWorld]

An incredible rift yet so easy to learn, immense thanks for the remarkable, straight forward intuitive lesson.

[masonrichards]

i was all good until you started using more than 1 finger
