Tom Petty - American Girl - guitar lesson - how to play acoustic songs on guitar tutorial

[weissarthur]

You are absolutely the best guitar teacher on the web!!!!!

[pobby434]

marty you are the best teacher on you tube bar none!!!

[mrGoesto11]

On the intial octave chord, add the G on the B string and it'll sound fuller and I think closer to the song. Keep up the good work.

[miixeddupp]

Would you be able to write down the full list of chords and what order they go in?I have a really awful memory, its a great tutorial though :) I've been playing for about 7 months but I've learnt more from your videos in 3 days then I have from teaching my self for all those months! Haha :)

[ThorinDyer]

Haha:) I was told this couldn't be done solo but you found a way. Good job boss.

[TheDarriah]

Marty, you have no idea how happy your video made me. I love this song and thanks to you I can actually play it now :)

[macker1001]

Fantastic lesson, thank you very much for taking the time for us beginners. Love this song!

[lNonSeanlant]

Marty, you're an inspiration! Thank you so, so much for all the hours you put into these videos.

[sjones232]

[dhani7165]

zz top- sharp dressed man, nobody has an acoustic lesson for this please do this song

[luapsel77]

Marty- Just wanted to shout out, to tell you I've watched a bunch of your videos, and even though I've been playing 30 years, you can't learn EVERY song, and my tastes change. So, in short, I've LEARNED from you, as i'm sure MANY HAVE.

Thank You, thank you, thank you, Marty..... You're a REAL Mensch! (That's a Righteous Bro, ain't it?)

[mullacABC]

[skaterjames1000]

[smoove002]

while my guitar gently weeps solo lesson anyone?

[kevkleener]

You rock marty ,your teaching strategy is impeccable,I learn something new everytime I see you. Thanx dude!

[Hank4real]

His dark circles around his eyes are most of the time as awesome as his teaching :D

[joezetank]

That is just such a sexy guitar, anyone recommend a good quality model for an acoustic? My price range is about $200 - $400 (AUD)

I've had a look at the fender range but most musicians I know tell me they make crap acoustics, is this true of are they just following a cliche?

[arffrossco]

@joezetank I have an Ibanez cutaway accoustic. Great sound but it was $650. I did like the Epiphones sound but most people i asked said they were cheap shit since the chinese started making them

[paulygit]

@joezetank fender acoustics are kinda crap... had one, traded it in. buddy o mine got a pretty nice yamaha solid top for around 300 US. my old takamine is holding up pretty good too. good luck!

[rrgert4]

i must say, awesome hat, player and a amazing guitar.. you have it all marty !

[MrFreunde2010]

4 dislikes can´t play guitar

[gordonryan78]

another awesome lesson marty ::)

where do requests go?

would love a lesson of 'the a team -ed sheeran'

[crawdaddyjpops]

Take a picture, by Filter, please!

[1356g0]

I think marty should play a tiny sample of the song he is about to teach so that people who dont know the song can decide if they want to learn it

[TheDanzilla7]

@1356g0 are you being sarcastic?! He did play a small sample of the song at the beginning!

[cuocodartificio]

awesome!

[markypants5]

When the man comes around! Every time I hear this song, it gives me goosebumps.

[EasyExpertVillage]

[nabuxodonosoras]

my guitar strings get rusty all the time, i bought new ones but the same happened after few days :( . i wash my hands before playing but it didnt remove the problem. any ideas how to get rid of this?

[kelroy9]

[saywhatblood]

Hey Marty-Long time listener, first time caller. Any chance you could do a (maybe simplified) version of Ball and Biscuit by the White Stripes sometime? I know I don't stand a chance to get that sick dentists drill tone ala Sr. White but its a pretty mean guitar line and I'd love to learn it. Thank you sir, you as they say...rock.

[jec5476]

Great lesson. I learned to play this from other random YT lessons but this was definitely the clearest one.  Especially the solo bit.

[TheFrolovAndrey]
