intermediate to advanced guitar lesson -Blues Soul R&B Funk Jazz Progression

[faileb0b]

cool!

[Augmantius]

If someone could help me figure out what he is doing from 4:50 to 4:55 I would be very grateful. The angle is wrong to see the chords and I can't get it to sound right.

[bskkid4eva]

musiq soul child, just friends

[antonycugliari]

It's a half diminished chord: C# half diminished 7

[ACKruse3]

DARTH!



[jakeboob]

wow, marty is gettin it! the beginning was so gooood. i like that stuff. little jazz with some blues run. then 0:43 just gets me. felt the same way. THANKS MARTY YOU ROCK KEEP POSTIN!

[noamru]

Does someone know what scales Marty used in the jam except of the pentatonic?

[Maupiti83]

@noamru Bminor natural !

[isaacarellano23]

@noamru mixolidian

[MrHofferick]

@noamru They are modal scales.

You can google them for more information

[straitview74]

Great lesson Marty. Little tips along the way. Love yer sense of humour man. Great playin too.

[AGuitardedPerson]

0:09, sounded like someone loaded a gun. PLAY THE PENTATONIC OR I KEEL YUU!!

[CDP110]

Yes, the dark side is down with Soul and R&B. And apparently, the light side as well ;-)

[MynZnusz]

Pwactice guitar you must!

[dimebagjames1]

these chords sound amazing.......thanks marty

[rapsboii21]

darth vader and yoda went off at the end

haha

thanks bro!

[Cuchimanmrs]

For the jamtrack I thank you!! xD

[MrJghm]

im bassist and your videos really help me out at the time to solo also your fun , greetings from Venezuela thanks !

[bradlaypamp]

i love the feel and tempo when you start at 4:15

[acousticgrooven]

Martry that improvisation there in the beggining. Was absolutly beautiful and rad. I could listen to that all day. I replayed it like 50 times to learn it. Absolutly gnarly dude. There's no doubt in my mind, you should be bottling that as "the elixer of chill' I'd consume that on my toast every morning. Owwwww marty, radd.. I'm going to replay that again.

[robbie132011]

great vid thx really helped me and alot of other people

[slmnv5]

Would be nice to see more things like that. You do not even need to stop explaining as TABS are soo clear over the live play. Thanks

[Neonflarez]

Marty... Man, will you adopt me? If I make it as a guitarist I'll give you 20% of everything I earn haha.

[colossus4764]

This is Marty's coolest lesson. I jammed at the end and felt like a pro. My Fedora is off to you, BROTHA!!! A guitars teacher's teacher FASHO.

[colossus4764]

This is Marty's coolest lesson.  I jammed at the end and felt like a pro. My Fedora is off to you, BROTHA!!! A guitas teacher's teacher FASHO.

[ReoSoul1]

you are the shit!!! Awesome i have some practicing to go :-) Thanks!!!

[thebarrelhousepoets]

Vader and Yoda were a nice touch;)

[Reviewmyneed]

IS anyone better than marty ?

nahi,no,neva,na,Shut d ...Marty is d best :D

[stratplayer5769]

that was too smooth i like it.... even made darth vader groove

[kunit135]

i love the back track. but i want to ESCAPE from the blues pentatonic crap. i've played that so much. i want to start using chromatic scales and diminished scales but i dont nkow where to begin!

[TheJohnemmanueL23]

is this in B minor or G major key? thanks! sounds like a cross between these 2 keys.

[Thomasbrudy]

I am so far behind.....the better you get, the worse you think you are.

[italoco]

marty I really love you and Im not gay...

[scottcossey]

love it mate... like the slide!!! bell

issimo

[caiosangrento]

CARACA é o pai do boça

[Unithinker]

I'm creaming my pants

[prettdboy]

Is that a mayer strat?! If so, I just ordered one too - I can't wait! It's the olympic white one! Should be here 6/23!!!! (It's on back order)

[nicedog1]

Please can somebody tell me what device he is using that lets him record the chords on a loop.

[NicholasViens]

@nicedog1 a looper?

[me86680]

@nicedog1 a few good ones: boss loop station, digitech jam man, or if u want a good one for live situations the hardwire delay/looper is easy to use but only has 20 seconds of loop time.

[nicedog1]

@nicedog1 Ok thanks for that.

[monkeyturds23]

Best guitar lessons on the web!! Thanks for the jam track at the end. I always wanted Darth Vader to dance with me.

[MrDomguitar]

pls make a backing trach of this chord progression

[eareffect]

Alright man... nice lesson. When Dart Vader came along my improvisation took off!

[SOCOM018]

thats very nice! i like that style but ive spent so long not playing that style that im not sure i could train my fingers to do this

[poptop22]

Who turn off the lights at 4:03? :0 )



[tolislove]

marty I love you , and Im straight

[redsoil21]

marty is a funny funny man! hehe! thumbs up!

[williamwormsarm]

[derrick713]

Oh crap stll to hard for me

[yankeeyfan41]

Haha. Like the ending man. Nice lesson.

[rwalk2730]

Dude, your lessons have progressed my playing in a few weeks more than the last 10 years of me going it alone. Dig it!

[JZU93]

Look! Marty Schwartz and Darth Wader is rockin' out to my jam!

[kazekagereckzilla]

Are there any videos of you just jamming?ROCK ON

[kazekagereckzilla]

Dude help me, I'm entering a blues competition and I could use some good blues tips and maybe some scale ideas. HELP ME PLEASE! ROCK ON.

[cobaltw]

THIS IS AWSOME keep em comin like this! there arent alot of GOOD lessons on jazz :/ this one however is freakin amazing! thankyou

[swedishstream]

Rrrroll it up! :D

[jonesb05]

he looks fucking S T O N E D

[ddzth2]

Fucking amazing!!!!

[homund]

Fake!! Those aren't the real Darth Vader and Yoda!! FAKE!!

[mapmlf]

General question...is it true that the "5" chord in a harmonized minor scale should be a minor chord (or minor seventh)? Wondering why with the minor 2-5-1's you see a dominant seventh chord as the 5 chord. Just sounds better I guess? Thanks

[slashHB]

thanx man you´re great!!!!! you´re really helping everyone out, that is real music support...........

[sethp11081]

Super thanks for all your help and guidence...."The Force is Strong In This One", You rock, or in your words, Jam...... May your strings easily bend and not brake with true tone......"Ride On"

[BelfastMusicAcademy]

That backing you do there is very similar to the Greg Howe style of "Sunny"! :)

[tkelkis]

YOU ARE THE MAN! This is sooooo cooool. Thanks for giving me something to work on. What an inspiration.

[101elad]

those puppets are funny because of you marty :-)

[jonesb05]

i love jamming to that last bit, specially when i get into it :)

[UFHOES]

This is fucking straight up helpful. I love this guy.

[virmorlio]

YOU ARE THE BIG! Mi fai morire!!!! CIAO

[connacoustic]

Marty Schwartz has to be the baddest man on the planet

[custombuilt05]

[hellomynameisbin]

[flogz23]

[jordyboy321]

[BurnYourKids]

Beautiful guitar playing.

[SextonNick1]

Thats Rain Dance by Jeff Lorber isn't it.

[SextonNick1]

That the same progression as Red Clay. Just in a different key that i'm thinking of.

[Silkysmooth1000]

Marty i really like this groove i am sorry i have to use it in church.

[Alohapoisons]

[RTDURAZO]

[ferrispaul1]

Great lesson man, great for pentatonic jamming, thanks, not sure if you are aware but Darth Vader showed after you left!!

[ferrispaul1]

Great lesson man, brings the humble pentatonic scale to life. Not sure if you are aware but after you left, Darth Vader turned up and started dancing!! 

[hawkfanity]

I'm 53 and been playing for over 40 years. I'm learning some new things. Sure wish you were around 40 years ago.

[gooseyable]

[stew1277]

what amp settings and amp settings are you using Marty? I've had a bit of trouble figuring the jazzy/funky tone out. Thanks!

[khund03]

Darth V gettin Funkaaaay!!! doing his tribute to "Thriller" dance moves!!!

[stratoman420]

You REALLY need to break down some of the theory/techniques that you used in that open solo. Please, pretty please, pretty pretty please. That is a style I don't have but need badly.

[stueychef]

Alright, so it was already cool as hell, and THEN Vader shows up. Genius my man! I've enjoyed your work since lurking on next level, and as I am a single income father with four kids, lessons aren't in the future, so I have to lurk lurk lurk. Luckily you are so damn good and understandable. Thanks, bro! Pauly - Ocean City, MD

[DancingJab]

[mussman717word]

You just melted my brain, Marty.

[petris112]

This is what I want to be able to do someday.

[GeminiDragonTV]

That's a pretty cool chord progression. Will have to try it out.

[deivis9494]

whats the typical scale for the jazz and that stuff?

[jamesmanortiz]

i understand you were using a b minor pentatonic in the beginning but what else were you using aeolian

[VisAbsoluta87]

sounds like musiq!

[overban888]

STAY AWAY FROM THE EVIL SIDE

I like funk

[kendownunder]

Fantastic progression. Thanks a lot.

[Scarbacca07]

Marty, let me just say this, and say it now: that groove you pulled from 4:49-5:02 was downright...sexy. Is there any way you could send me a tab of the chordal improv you did there?

Keep it up! Your lessons always get me back on track when I run dry and just can't seem to recover my musical mojo. (And you crack me up, to boot.)

Love it, man!

[alanstrainor]

You're a great player and a great teacher. Nice.

[cruisinjude]

Luv ya, Marty! Or . . .is it Darth Vader?

[cjoey39]

Hey Marty, Always enjoy your lessons and your playing. I hope you are making a decent living at it. You deserve it!! Keep em coming!!!! Joey Vaughan "World Blues Attack"

[xxSeaTownTrout]

[drRomantico89]

[edwinanibalguevara]

[pickslide812]

[JH0217]

OMG you look like jon lovitz, the guy out of little nicky. hahaha

[Feet4hands]

Marty, are you on day release from an institute or something? Crazy people always make me laugh and you hit the spot quite alot! Keep it up - luv it!

[Feet4hands]

I can't even say some of those chords never mind play them! Just saw this in trawling the site and had a butchers! Way too advanced for me but at least I've learnt a few words I didn't know before! I'll be back! Thanks

[gang1027]

[jazzperbeats]

[juussttee]

You look on drugs

[chrisekelman]

Darth and Yoda should play back-up for you Marty.

[noschool123]

if on all your vids you could take 2 secs to tell which guitar brand, which pickup which amp and the settings it would be appreciated. thanks

[granto009]

sounds like a strat through a fender blues on the 2nd pickup position

[StartingwithSoul]

can you do a lesson on mj's "rock with you" and the theory behind it I cant find it anywhere on youtube.

[Rasclaad]

THNX a lot for this free lesson!!!!

[dlindightren]

I use these chords in SUNNY. Any other scale suggestions for soloing over this progression? Thanks.

[cofree22]

please do more jazz theory you're the only person who does lessons on youtube who isn't a dip shit

[frannyp46]

@cofree22 except for Guthrie Govan

[dle777]

[sub9bballa48]

Dude awesome stuff. Watching this video is not only educational, but it also makes me happy. Dancing Yoda made my day. :)

[69guitarplaya]

[pocketocrisps]

coolio, broseph. thanks for the great lessons.

[porkandbeans1991]

my girlfriends name is 'ursula 9000'; what do you think of that?

[azinvazn123]

does he look stoned to anyone else???

[dajbes58]

i've said it before , he definately is a weed smoker

[bloodtypebloodtype]

thank you soo much you rock!

that is beautiful

[improlozofia]

(2:43) why don't you drag your pinky down to the sixth fret, so you can get a D7 with a 9 and the augmented fifth? that's a terryfic option!! and then, try constructing your G with the 9 on top, so your voice movement will be complete, and won't sound like "sthg s missin there" it's a nice sound, teach it!

[TheoO18]

can you please tell me what exercise should I do to increase my speed on finger picking.. (the melody u`re doing not the chords).. I can do ok but I kinda loose it and cannot really maintain it at constant speed (when playing fast)

[gutterscum]

[sgfreakrokks]

yeahhhhhh mannn

[VoodooConnection]
