[kewlsweetheart]

even if you don't have a capo, most songs sound awesome played without them. Just play the chords for the song as you would for a song without a capo. That what i did before i got my capo. Most of the time i still do that.

[84ladyd]

[BabyDeezle]

When i play the f it just dosent sound right... its ring finger 3rd fret 5th string, pinky 3rd fret 4rth string, middle finger 2nd fret 3rd string, and pointer 1st fret 2nd string?????????? Help**

[lexibexi4711]

[MsVthokies]

Can you do an easy video on Barefoot blue jean night by jake owen. Please!!!!!!!!!!!!

[271189a]

It'd be even better if she actually wrote the song.

[KraZedable]

This almost sounds like My Truck Got Stuck song

[treno80]

It`s a great song for all levels to learn if ur a so you think pro then songs these should be in your rep because one day if your show boating some one might actually ask you to show how to play a simple song then if you can`t ya gonna look stupid. Theres more beginners than pros in this game.

[WRJSHADOW]

if thats super easy dont want to know how expert would be like :(

[AmigoFiell]

Marty, please, don't ever do a Justin Bieber lesson, please.

[seabee87]

Pierre

[maggiesingergirl408]

AWESOME VIDEO MARTY!!! Now I finally know how to play this song!! I've wanted to play it because one of my best friend's took place in the fair last year and she sang this song and I wanted to show her I can play it and hopefully make a YouTube video and have people notice how good we are. The point is thanks soooo much!!!!!!!!!!!! :DDD <3 <3

[vallucost]

cool lesson ive been hoping you could teach some tool hope you see this can't wait

[KMAC6013]

nice lesson marty. you should do a lesson on the fast lick john mayer uses towards the end of his solo on aint no sunshine when she s gone. its on crossroads 2010 i think. i no youve seen it and im sure u can agree that would be a great lick to teach.

[Rubiredsillie]

[Supersupernatify]

i love TAYLOR SWIFT! And Marty what a good combination!! :D

[foosgod69]

favorite part... 6:03 and all you really need is an F

[96JUSTIN]

alot of these songs like this one for instance Im not a big fan of her but I still learn it and just sing along and make up my own lyrics...

Never stop learning and to disclude something because u think its below you is hurting nobody but yourself

Not fair by lily allen

[evilelmo78]

[DakotaSmithification]

@evilelmo78 That or Artist vs. Poet cover of the song. It's awesome!!!!

[vashfrosamurai]

10:04 YAOOWWW

[ComfortablyPlump13]

Not that I don't like this guitar, but what happened to your other one??? I'm just curious. And what brand is your acoustic guitar??? This one and the other one, please. :)

[joekool777]

@ComfortablyPlump13 their both martins id say that he got this one because it has a cut away? dunno just a guess

[xXnoahs19Xx]

[StraitUpSuburbanite]

@xXnoahs19Xx Good morning Mr. Marston!!

[xXnoahs19Xx]

@StraitUpSuburbanite hah yes sir but i like the song as a individual to

[StraitUpSuburbanite]

@xXnoahs19Xx That song made bike rides that much more epic, but you're absolutely right, great song. Guitar work is great and hypnotizing and his vocals are so melodic. Great song from a great game.

[GuitarGuys337]

NO! why taylor swift!

[possm33]

[IdaLovingMiro]

Thank you for reading this.

I am a girl of 13 years who loves to sing and play guitar. I come from Sweden .

I put up the covers when I sing on my channel. I have very few subscribers. I have a dream. It is to get many subscribers and followers on my channel.

With your support can i reach that.

It would mean everything to me if you wanted to check on my covers.

Click on "THUMBS UP" so everyone can see this.

Thank you!

[Subliminatification]

Your gonna run out of songs to play if you keep this up :P

[MushroomRapist]

HEY MARTY. Could you please do Many of Horror by Biffy Clyro?

[F41LWhaleXD]

marty<3 i ask for ball and biscuit and i get taylor swift -.- :P please do a tut, and great vid :)x

[clintmiller23]

People like to complain about these types of lessons, but I remember 2 years ago first starting out how rewarding it was to learn these easy songs and being able to play right away. I'm way beyond that now, but I can appreciate why Marty does these. Remember where you came from people! Also, remember the guy is trying to run a business people.

[richardlpalmer]

Marty, keep doing these types of songs! I still look forward to your videos, but in the beginning was playing pretty much every "easy" song you did a lesson on. It was a HUGE help. Now I'm looking for slightly more challenging things.

But guess what? After learning a few dozen songs from you, it made the decision to help support you financially, easy! I knew you were the teacher for me so ponied up for more. Who else is going to do that? :)

[phriend2spin]

Thanks for doing these simple pop tunes. I teach guitar as well and use my ipad in lessons. My kids love these lessons.

[Kaiserwho3]

YOWWW!!!  :)

[animeman4life]

I don't like this song, but the chords really helped. I really needed to work on the A minor chord, and the little trick you did with the F is really getting me a long with the bar chords. Thanks, man.

[MrKredor]

The White Stripes. PLEASE

[24mrdanny]

does this song even have a solo?

nah coz marty would have shown us that too lol



[lubo07311]

@24mrdanny FYI there is solo

[amiryou789]

marty please teach THE THRILL IS GONE BBKING please please

[TheMetalguitarhelp]

hey there guys i would realy be gratefull if some of you would com visit my channel

raining blood lesson by slayer and some tapping tuturials  if you want you can subscribe thanks :)

[convergator]

we are beginners i dont have that black thing, should we need it?

[nightcloud99]

As a beginner myself I appreciate what you're doing here marty! Thank you.

- Sincerely,

long term subscriber.

[sanchit1dbzfan]

what you are doing is great man i know u need to think for the beginners too carry it on man your doing it awesome !

but if you don't mind one difficult song please :) i'll appreciate thanx

[thelanguist]

Also guys, stop crying about don´t liking a song. If you learned it, you have it in your repertoire for ever. Any maybe there will be this girl, who actually likes that one-good thing Marty taught you this, isn´t it ? Taylor Swift plays a lot on her guitar (afaik) so this is a good exercise. If you don´t like the lessons, go for David Taub or any other teacher on YT ;)

[thelanguist]

I picked up my Capodaster and monochromatic tuner the day i went for my Yamaha C40M. I only paid about 7€ (about 10$). Again, i really cannot thank you enough for doing these videos for us absolute beginners. BUT, and this really is my only concern, you might want to step up the difficulty a bit. We aint going to stay bloody beginners forever you know ? Again, i love how you teach and think about signing up for your site. Are there more sophisticated lessons available?

[TheMustak25]

19 people do not have a capo !!!

[Squyresimon]

That's a Martin you're playing, right? What capo are you using? I've a number of capos but struggle to find one that works well with my Martin.

[jsizzle909]

Marty are you a fan of Boyce Avenue because these past 2 songs you have taught have been 2 songs that Boyce Avenue just covered?

[KaylieYes]

what guitar are you playing here? looks and sounds great.

[kaihinlam]

i hate when people pretend to be pros and reject the beginners whom they once were..

[SpmXxShadowxX]

@kaihinlam We'v all have been beginners sometime , wont change change people mind .

[Sxrojas]

@kaihinlam its because a small amount of those "pros" were self taught and they dont understand how other people cant learn a song

[007onlytaller]

Any chance of you doing a fun vid of you playing harmonica? Maybe Midnight Cowboy?

[ZachFoolery]

Who cares if you don't like Taylor Swift. This is a great song for beginners to learn. We were all beginners at one point, and I learned everything from Marty by starting with songs like these, even if I didn't like them.

[locote031]

@ZachFoolery i was gonna bitch out about why the fuck marty is teaching taylor but then i read ur comment and i realize that it would be stupid thing to hate on tylor just because i like good music. now im gonna grab my guitar and learn the fuck out this song thanks marty im sure my gf will appriciate this and its ur choice to decide what song ur gonna teach us :D

[girllycrave95]

@locote031that and theres younger kids and girls who wanna learn these songs and eveyone eles on youtube sucks at trying to teach me something i fucking love taylor and this song. n so far this is the only video that teaches me something. :) i hope ur gf likes it. n trust me i dont listen to country as much n e more its mostly metal and punk is what i listen to.

[YABAtheDRUG357]

@locote031 woah there!!!1 your gonna sing your girlfriend why shes so mean???? bad idea sir!!!

[elfhermie]

@locote031 Open your mind, dude. I'm a Maidenhead, but I love Taylor Swift. The gal actually writes songs that aren't just the same 2 lines repeated ad nausea like many of today's female stars. Plus, she can play solid rhythm and sings in a naturally honest way instead of showboating like today's American Idol imbeciles. Actually, country seems to be one of the few genres that has kept things real and gotten better as the years go by. Most metal and rock fans dig this about country today.

[kitchenfromhell]

I used the capo once as a muter. by putting a piece of cotton cloth between the strings and the capo, so the strings are muted if not pressed.

[mribanez91]

I hate Taylor swift as much as the next guy but...

If Marty tells you to learn a song then you shut up and grab your capo and just hope on one hears you playing Taylor swift...

[Sharee024]

Thank you so much for this lesson Marty!!! :) I love Taylor Swift!

[topkev]

Love the t-shirt Marty, turn it up to eleven

[Stenniewj]

taylor swift is fucking gay

[007onlytaller]

@Stenniewj Why swear???? Alot of young people come to Martys pages and they, as well as us and Marty himself, don't want to see that kind of language. Go else where.

[Stenniewj]

@007onlytaller You think me swearing makes any difference? Kids will pick swear words up anyways, doesn't make any difference if some dude on youtube makes a comment on some singer. I usually dont swear, even less on marty's awesome tut's, but please GOD, FUCKING taylor swift. Change the world and start with yourself, an old wise Chinese man once said. So stop correcting others and go bitch about your own life.

[007onlytaller]

@Stenniewj ' Do you think me swearing makes any difference?' should read 'Dear Mr wise chinese man, do you think starting with myself by not swearing will make any difference?' One day you MIGHT grow up.

[Stenniewj]

@007onlytaller I think swearing is just another way to express a feeling by maybe exagerating a little bit. Im a grown ass man, and I can say what ever I want to whoever I want whenever i want, wherever I want, however I want. Stop being this idealistic bitch and get on with your life. I think the current pop cultural is fucked up, and if Marty, the bringer of light, is somehow supporting this I think someone needs to tell him to lay off of it.

[HappyRes]

@Stenniewj I have a preteen daughter that watches and learns from Marty. I certainly don't appreciate your language. Sure, swearing can be used to accentuate a point that you are trying to get across. Here is not the place though. It's now down to a point on common sense which, being "a grown ass man" has eluded you. Props to 007onlytaller for telling you like it is in a "civilized" manner. I fully agree with them.

It's Marty's channel. If you don't like what's uploaded then move on. JMHO

[Stenniewj]

@HappyRes Maybe you shouldn't get you preteen daughter to watch all of his video's then. Alot of songs Marty teaches are not 'swear-free'. For example, all the Tenacious D songs. One of my favorite bands, and yes, they swear and curse there way through every song. If you want to get your daughter to live life swear free untill she's 21, good luck to you sir. Probably block every news channel untill she's 18 aswell. Don't wanna be a bad dad now, wont you.

[kennedyhair84]

@HappyRes i agree with you.......but its the internet. you can't censor it. if you let your daughter use the internet you need to realize it comes at a price. her soul!

[seagullacoostix1]

ayyy Marty. Just wanted to say thanks for all you do. You've helped me more than i can thank you for in progressing with the guitar. Thanks again. Hope all is well for you.

[VagabondPhD]

Do not hate on marty! He has put up more than 600 hundred videos! Go see something else! I don't wanna learn this song but be nice you morons. Thank you Marty!

[182MrFantastic]

I personally love that F chord to C chord combo in any song. Sounds just great.

[cabbagehead630]

OMG! I LOVE TAYLOR SWIFT THANKS MARTY!

[SlickGamingVideos]

People complaining obviously didn't watch the video. You don't need to emulate Taylor Swift. This is a good song to practice chords and such.

[MClown69]

Why do people bash songs? Everyone has their own kind of music they like. Plus its great practice for your open chords!

[nohadmaroun]

awesome!

[NiceGirlBest]

thank you so much for teaching this song! I've been wanting to learn it lately :))

[inzaneeee]

stop flaming him, if you wanna learn "better" music go do it yourself. TABS

[NickAgee13]

I love TAYLOR SWIFT! thank you once again MARTY!

[TheValdezinator]

capos are like 12 bucks. check your local music store. i got one similar to martys for 12 and some change.

[Fr3shkihd21]

Teach us how to play Aventura-Amor De Madre

[kennedyhair84]

marty, imma let you finish but justin sandercoe had one of the best taylor swift lessons of all time.

[synistric]

you should give a free capo out with the ebook

[ironhagoo]

PLEASE DO BACK IN BLACK BY AC/DC!

[VICJR98]

sounds like Hey Soul Sister

[TheAwesome9999]

Can I suggest songs on this channel? If so I'd like to ask if you could teach Glycerine by Bush, just the acoustic version please. Thank you so much

[TheJoshnNateShow]

I just bought sets of your DVD's to get a better idea of how to best teach my friend guitar. In essence, you are teaching me to teach. So, send me a free capo? :)

[CoolKidsInMaine]

I am actually somewhat good at guitar now.. and ITS ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!!

[chicodany05]

CAPOS ARE DA SSHHIIIIZZZZZZ!!!!!!

[mikeb929man1]

@Gramhyro14

True, but it's not creative. That progression's been used I countless other songs. Per example, holiday and 21 guns by green day are both the ripped off progression. But they sound good.

[TheAlbinoturkey]

do you do theme songs? i would like to learn how to play pirates of the caribbean! 

[sempei58]

thanks for explanation, will try and work others out where you use the capo

[gramhyro14]

Just because a song is easy to play or isn't difficult doesn't mean its not good or you don't benefit from it. Sometimes three or four really great chords that harmonize well is really all you need.

[Xx50callxX]

why don't you get partner chip? making a few extra bucks cant hurt when you help so much

[ThaManOnTheMoon11]

Marty is the nicest person ever.

You know it's true.

[Harvest8888]

I started out by learning Taylor swift songs "teardrops on my guitar" and "you belong with me." Now a couple years later I'm playing all kinds of awesome. I can't say I ever play those songs much anymore but def easy and good to learn on!

[st3althShotz]

Keep doin watchu doin Marty. Don't let other people tell you what to do, thats how you got where you are now. You da man.

[brennaldo101]

Anyone else at 6:37 hear a slight bit of Wishing Well by Terrance Trent D'Arby? :P

[jgolf1446]

Marty... You da man... Elliot Yamin's Trainwreck and One Word... Please....



[julial88]

Thanks so much! :]

[rafaeltru]

stupid capo

[MrBarneyRubble2U]

Thanks for the easy and super easy tutorials. Some of us out here really appreciate you taking the time to break the songs down!

[flynn395]

Teach me Search and Destroy by the Stooges!!!!

[sempei58]

Hi Marty, thanks again for these great tutorials, i dont care who or what the song is, if it sounds ok and gets me practicing chords and strumming, i am happy. But could you do us a favour for us newbies, when using a capo, can you explain when playing eg a g chord when a capo is on the 4th fret like in this song, what that chord actually is. Would be good if we know and understand what the capo is actually doing, maybe do a lesson on capo. thanks

[jgolf1446]

@sempei58 The capo is changing the chord by the number of half steps(frets) it is moved up... So a G chord with the capo on the 4th moves the chord up four half steps... G- G#(1)- A(2)- A#(3)- B(4)....So that G major is now a B major chord.. You can do this with every chord being played... Remember No sharps or Flats between B-C and E-F...

[marydm014]

Can you teach half of my heart! by john mayer !! please :))

[safenders]

This crap with so called rockers doing things like playing Taylor Swift is one of the many reasons why Kurt Cobain killed himself. Then came the end of good Rock Music. This is not getting back to that point but it might just give us something worse than that pop shit that is already polluting the airwaves.

[JustSmile417]

never thought marty would do a taylor swift song...

[TheChrisOliva]

yay taylor swift :) thanks Marty

[AsceHawk]

any chance to do bad day ? i hear it's easy :P

[jgreenleaf18]

Kiss God gave rock and roll would be a sweet lesson!

[EmperorJack7]

Listen to The Music - Doobie brothers :D

[TehWolfBite]

can you do Funeral bell by black label society?

[MtLeftover]

That is a sexy guitar.



[MrBac755]

@martysongs could you do "Cause we've ended as lovers", by Jeff Beck?

[SCmusic30]

Marty, do you think you could do Hell On Heels by the Pistol Annies!! =)

[jhatt25]

marty i love brotha so ill never bash anything you put out !!! but these are the songs you learned to get ass so im assuming this is a lesson in pulling ass not playing guitar

[martyzsongs]

this lesson will help people in more ways then one. thx

[NoBrainsGaming]

@martyzsongs may the Schwartz be with you

[MarioRulz58]

@jhatt25 true

[BailyProductions]

@jhatt25 I love how you say that because was teaching me guitar and I'm sure that was his intentions while teaching me "those kinds songs" so I can play them.

[Num471]

Could you ever try a City and Colour lesson?

[jcmoovee]

[Num471]
