great video. this is the kind of thing instruction that we need on the internet.

[muralista66]

Hey Marty: Thanks for the work,amigo: For new guys you remain very approachable and warm. And for us a bit more experienced, you manage to teach cool surprises. Always very professional in your presentation, without being cold or too smarmy. This is an appreciation from a fellow guitar teacher on the Baja Sur, who has picked up a few tips from you on how to better relate with clients, students, and kibitzers about town. K le vaya bien, David Amor.

[rensy101]

could anyone recommend some jazz guitarist to listen to?

[cynik0nick]

@rensy101 John Scofield, Pat Metheny, Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, Mike Stern

[hutomo01]

seems he really enjoying play that guitar.. he will marry it someday. lol

[MegaGhettochef]

press 7 a few times again :D

[RamBeuk]

That sounds delicious. I've been trying to apply this harmonic scale for a while, but couldn't find the right chord progression to play it to. Tnx for these great lessons Marty.

[ThisIsDonnieMusic]

basically it's about picking the right note for that genre. great tutor

[andrew93lefty]

dude you're awesome. Thanks for all these lessons

[chub4play]

Thanks Marty!

[ashdinbharucha]

such a pleasant chap for a teacher :D nice licks too..

[ThePishty1]

ur the man schwartzy, one question though(forgive the noobness of it).

when u play the minor 2-5-1 background melody, how come it is allowed to play a minor pentatonic(1-b3-4-5-b7) solo WHERE there is no 2 ,in the scale.

i can understand why the harmonic/natural minor fit(because the 2 exist). but for the pentatonic there is no 2.

i hope my question is clear

[Phazur]

@ThePishty1 minor pentatonic is not a 'real' scale like the normal minor and major, it is a simplified minor scale with two notes removed to make it easier for soloing, the two notes who make fastest conflict with chords

[NyrockXZX]

@Phazur Erm. The pentatonic scale is definitely a scale, just as the hexatonic scales are definitely scales.

[elvenpath7]

big thanks !

[middrogas]

i start learn guitar with you marty, all the chords, bar chords, penta scales, major and minor, who to improvise... this is really what i need now. you are the man

[dustymsays22]

thanks so much for posting this, it was excellent in all of its bluesy jazzyness!

[xFishNinjax]

COOL HAT MAN.

[legnaleama]

instead of learning guitar we should learn "how to be marty shwartz"

[kaca488]

ur da best thanks for da lesson

[Robb9096]

nice! great Jazz, Marty!

[elgrandanez]

thanks..now I open a good door..

[U07110743]

Hey Martin i really thank you for this great lesson! I'm auditioning for Jazz band in high school and these videos are great!

[SuperLaw911]

i learning how to play quitar with him through dvd's.

[skaggmo]

Sweet!

[TheJopamora]

8:30 - 9:34 is one of the most filthy and sexy things i've ever heard in my life

[Samvalentinemusic]

I watched many of your videos, you're a good teacher.

Great

[sunseed37]

pro phrasing

[jamie1234591]

@rolopolo34 Ok, so the c minor scale has the same notes as the Eb major scale ie C D Eb F G Ab Bb C so the 5 chord in the c minor scale IS indeed Gm7. The reason its the 5 chord is that it contains the 5th, 7th 2nd and 4th note of the minor scale. BUT this is the jazzy HARMONIC minor scale C D Eb F G Ab B C. So what is the 5th chord here? Well it still contains the 5th, 7th 2nd and 4th notes ie G B D and F, and thats a G7 chord! You might want to investigate how chords come from scales.

[srbskibandit]

sounds a little like santana..

[lee95757]

I'll pass.

[RVCAMMARATA]

Marty you sound like your playing for a 10 year old or some one that can't play guitar!!!! Up-scale your lessons so some one that knows something about guitar playing can get better antd not go back to when one first picked up a guitar. My God I know you can do better then this...

[sannaman71]

@RVCAMMARATA dude fuck off!

[tomox07]

i feel so filthy after watching this. damn marty im not gay but you're so sexy when you play that thing

[pabluxLB]

thats so easy looking you

[StankySwank]

@rolopolo34 i was about to answer that and then i realized what your talking about haha. bc in the key of Eflat, it should be gminor7, but i guess its just because it sounds better? idk good question

[dmacgolf1]

Incredible Marty. Thank You and God Bless : )

[milesdavidsmith]

You're the best musician on this channel

[rvmanohyeah]

i wish i could get a tab of that jam you did starting 8:30 .. i wanted to clarify which ones were Blues pentatonic and harmonic minor, coz ther wer some that sounded great but felt like neither of them. i guess im still confused.. nonetheless great lesson

[kaskas55]

"eeeaaaw...what is that?" hahaha...

[fendertele1988]

cool stuff. thanks marty!

[sixintune]

nice job marty, thanks !

[xxxm0ris]

c minor over this sounds like crap its imposible its used in arab music.

[cliffmccully]

Hey great lesson Marty! I'm a big fan. I want to ask though because the 1 chord is a c minor 7, then can c dorian also be used? I though that c minor 7 = dorian and not harmonic minor? Can anyone please explain this to me? Thanks! :p

[ThatsNikki]

wowwww it sounds like a gypsy. lol!

[UltiMogr]

@ThatsNikki he looks like one too

[HenrikBacker]

Thanks, helped me alot :)

[TheFailArtist]

Thanks, it helped me learn these different chords pretty fast.. It's just that every time I play them, they sound like crap, even though I'm playing it right. :/ Maybe it's time I upgrade my guitar, haha...

[JoaoPauloGarcia]

you look like LaBamba from Conan O'Brien :)

now every time i play guitar sound good thanks to you!

[visualextacy]

marty, thanks alot man, i mostly play rock and things like that, but these lessons are amazing, you made me want to play jazz and blues, man, and i love it!

[scob63]

This is very good instruction. I'm an old rocker now branching out into jazz / blues. Looking forward to checking out your other videos.

[Silverado262SS]

LOL @ 6:17

[RockBrent]

at first, when he was showing the chords.

I was like, who the fuck is this.

but when he actually played the chord progression.

DAMN! haha

[guitarlonextreme]

another great vid, thanks!!!

[rina9199]

I like ''all of me''

[IronPump89]

The Harmonic Minor works in this chord progression because the G is in major right? The major 3rd to G is B and B is one semitone lower that our key note D... is this correct?

[guitarlonextreme]

@IronPump89 Yes your right, but don't think of it as a maj 3rd, think of it as a #7th, as that's what it is relative to c. but yea ur on it:D !!!

[Waldenmattfinish]

at 4:29 when Marty plays the half dimished can anyone tell me the fingering please ?

I have a half diminsihed on the 10th and its not this fingering and is hard to fit into the smaller frets

[almostvirtuoso]

@Waldenmattfinish if u are talking about the d7b5 then he plays it like this x5656x

cheers

[Waldenmattfinish]

@Waldenmattfinish Thanks for the help but I got it wrong. I thought he was playing an inversion of the d7b5 at the 10th fret that i dont know rather than the g7b5. . I play 10 x 10 10 9 x which is root on the bottom E but its hard to fit my fingers in. Nice of you to assist.

[almostvirtuoso]

damn it! hes surely getting all the pussy :(

[Bilco1949]

Love the Heritage H535

[hotpixel888888]

do you right the things you want to say in your left wrist?xD you keep looing at it!

[grandrichard]

you're one funny man :) loved the vid' i'm not a fan of jazz but really now i want to become one ... thanks

[Obeliskeyes]

Great lesson...keep on...

[Guitaristguy]

damn! that jam at 8.40 was tasty!

[JUNCLEEO]

Hi Shaun

Juncleeo here cheers for your comment, the only problem is I first picked up a guitar at the age of 14 I am now 63 and still crap! but I will keep on trying until the bitter end. The guitar is in me and I can't do a shit about it, I think you know what I mean

Cheers

Joe

[SalerPaul]

Sweet...

[jaystrings]

Awesome stuff. Thankee, thankee, thankee....

[MrJhbaseball]

[hockeyislife1988]

I was already convinced that you are the best teacher on youtube and now i know its a fact for one simple reason.... when the camera man coughed and mid solo you dropped excuse me haha Marty you are the best i have learned so much from one and one day i am going to jam with you!

[ShuaGo]

[Yonktech]

Marty I wish we were roommates.

[underlecht]

All jazz players makes "YES" and "NO"'s with their heads while playing its very funny

[MeTaLiZoPo]

[dreygon9]

pause @ 6:17 lolz

[oylebiseyyok]

Marty Schwartz? no way man... for sure this is Angel Batista and no other :)

[MrRyanshum]

thanks a lot, really helped since i quit rock and now fell in love with jazz fusion :)

[Gigo312]

[sincer111]

[JUNCLEEO]

LUV YA MARTY LEARN'T SOME LOVELY JAZZ CHORDS FROM YOU , LOVE THE WAY YOU INJECT A BIT OF HUMOUR INTO YOUR LESSONS, YOUR EYE MOVEMENTS MEAN EVERYTHING ON SOME DIFFICULT CHORDS WHICH MAKE US LAUGH LOVE YOUR STYLE MARTY

[onixtheone]

eeeeewwwhh! what is that? hahaa9:

[JUNCLEEO]

bought a guitar 2 weeks ago could only play a C a D and a A chord, then I watched your video and now I am a jazz guitar maestro playing to packed halls all over the world, then I woke up! But I keep plodding on as your video has inspired me, nice one Marty

[shaunindia]

@JUNCLEEO keep practising man and keep encouraging the rest of us too :).. trying to get past afew chords .. ouch!

[cecopiteco]

@JUNCLEEO I've been playing for 20 years i am such a lame player, I can play by ear but notes and chords means nothing to me, watched the video and I have a headache. Guitar is not for me

[MarvsTracks]

Great Lesson!

[MarvsTracks]

Hey, Billy Joel and Kid Rock Clone!

[TheTom5150]

Hey I like your lesson. Bein your in the key of c minor, and you played a harmonic minor scale over it which fit well even though your altering the naturally occuring minor 7 and making it a major 7, how about the melodic minor with its' altered 13th and altered 7th? Thanx for the time I know you put a lot of work in to make these lessons happen :-)

[QuirinusLaurelin]

So the root of this progression seems to be C-Minor. But why is there a G-Major 7 as the 5 instead of the G-Minor 7?

[chomperknocker]

@QuirinusLaurelin It's actually a G dominant 7 or G7 chord. GBDF. the five chord is rarely rarely minor. it's dominant in major and minor progressions

[QuirinusLaurelin]

@chomperknocker yes thats right. on the 5th position of the key of c-major, there stands a G7. But the "1" in this example is a c-minor 7 chord, so aren't we in the key of c-minor?

[chomperknocker]

@QuirinusLaurelin

It is out of the minor scale, but harmonies are usually built from the Harmonic Minor scale which has the raised 7th. C natural minor is C D Eb F G Ab Bb C Which is where you're probably getting the G minor from, but Harmonic Minor is C D Eb F G Ab Bnatural and C. That raised 7th is always the 3rd of the five chord, which is why you don't see minor fives very often.
