[ChannelBlueberry]

[TangyCoin]

[CountryFan122]

[DCaddictproductionz]

[Peelioka]

[MrDeZiRe96]

[MySassyTums]

Can anyone explain the strumming pattern for the chorus? im honestly confused >.<

[cristhianlover2451]

Can't Stop Laughing At Minute 3:14 xD!

[dieskie2479]

Could you please do the scientist by colplay.

You're awsome :)

[im8yours8]

do you strum the low E (6) when playing the Cmaj chord?

[dkediaful]

hey i was seeing this tutorial and i realized that i have learnt this song before but then i realized that i had learnt a bollywood song and it was the same....its totally the same.....damn bollywood surely knows how to copy and paste.....the name of the bollywood song is JIYE KYUN from the movie DUM MAARO DUM.....XP

[lFriday13l]

If you are beginer u definetly have a capo!

[MyHeadJustFellOff]

I fucking love you. 

[MsFigure09]

the chorus is too complicated for me :SS

is it F (D D D), C (DU) and G for DDDDU ..

somebody PLEASEEEE help meee :)

[fellaguitar]

Thumbs up if you love his : " hEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY WHat's up ? "" ^^

[Dude4Christ85]

Dude, you present your tutorials so crystal clear! Thanks for the lesson!!

[TheKEEMOSAVii]

Dude I didnt get the strumming. Is it D,D,D,U?

[selenaluvor]

@TheKEEMOSAVii down down down down up

[MsFigure09]

@TheKEEMOSAVii I think it's D D D DU :)

[brokendrum05]

im a basic, basic, basic, and basic beginner. do you have any information to help a true beginner. the guitar is fascinating to me. Id really like to learn.

[numnutsnumnuts]

@brokendrum05 hello, I started playing about 2 months ago and I can play this reasonably well without too much trouble. The thought of it is more daunting than the actual doing! I watched Marty's beginner videos (they are free from his website) which really helped to learn a few basic chords. There are plenty of tutorials on youtube so have a look around to find a teacher you like.......

[numnutsnumnuts]

...............Then just try and practice a little each day. I found that even 10 minutes a day helped me progress quickly. Then pick a song you like and know very well (I used Yeah yeah yeah's 'turn into', you can find tabs for basically anything on internet) and learn it!!! Then be excited at how amazingly talented you are :D Good luck!! x

[ellieisbling]

really confused on the strumming pattern for the second part .. the F to C bit

[term417]

@ellieisbling

The strumming pattern for that bit is DDU for each chord. Thrice for the F, once for the C, Twice for the Gsus4 and then Twice for the Gsus4 without the index.

Hope that helps!

[Dimasik911]

what is streaming of second part that starts with F.

[1irozeth2]

i made a capo with a pencil and 2 elastic bands :)

[ephercation]

It's to hold it on a certain cord.

[6158cece]

what is that black thing on the cords please replay if you know thanks.!

[McLovinNator]

Ditto.

[DontRunWithDaScissor]

What's the pattern for the middle bit, where it goes "F" to "C" then to that weird "G"?

[DontRunWithDaScissor]

Capos are like 2-5 dollars, for Christs sake. If you can buy an acoustic guitar, usually around 100, couldn't you just easily spend an extra 5 bucks?

[Bsnakezs]

I really need to buy a capo : /

[Jazmin10211]

@Bsnakezs get one from ebay its really cheap

[dkediaful]

lol....d best part in his video is when he is teaching d strumming pattern n it suddenly goes into a slow motion mode....hahahaha......bt ya dats d best way i cn learn my strumming pattern.....XD...:P

[trevorscanlan]

Kaaaaaahhhhhhhn!!! oops I mean... Caaaaaaaaaapo!!!

[nmarkworth11]

Paradise and Every Teardrop is a Waterfall please!!!

[bonifieed]

Capo we meet again...

[SomeoneSomewhere0098]

I LOVE YOU MY TEACHER :D:D:D

[beenoofficial]

Great video, really easy to learn from. Could you do a cover of Jason Mraz - I'm yours? Cheers

[TrendyBear13]

its ok if we dont have capo ryt? coz i dont have one

[XxV3dG3xX]

sigh man we can always look to Marty to do a great 'how to' on the songs that's stuck in my head. GO MARTY! XD <3

[FALKG1]

I don't know why but....he reminds me of jack black. :P

[911Shayana]

i cant make one,no rubber bands and my pencils will damage the guitar

[911Shayana]

i need a capo but my dad keeps on saying i dont need all the fancy stuff,nd i cant make one either so wat should i do?

[Lanchoooo]

@911Shayana

Rubber band and pencil

[911Shayana]

hey u got a new guitar,any way thanx for the free lessons

[nerwin]

I really need a acoustic guitar...

[SteezyCProductions]

Hey Marty I love your videos they have helped me learn a lot of songs thanks dude!!! Also if you could post a video on how to play broken by seether??? It's a great song

[Riighted]

Capo?

Nevermind Next Video!

[opec38]

Marty could show me how to play half a man by the smiths in standard tuning

I can't find a lesson anywhere please.

[20SkyP]

Hey marty thanks for all your help I couldn't have learned guitar near as fast without you! Will you please teach us second chance by shinedown I wanted to learn it since I saw your cover on it!

[piginizer]

Is it only me who thinks Marty is especially high in this ??

[Littlejoel3]

Capo,we meet again.

[xRawrItsIan]

@Littlejoel3 if u can afford to buy a guitar, you can afford a capo. They aren't really expensive. I got mine for 3 bucks.

[bitejacker]

Hey Marty!! It would be so awesome if you put up a lesson for The Kooks - Naive, I would be so greatful! THUMBS UP SO MARTY CAN SEE THIS!!

[wondersie]

I don't understand how people can afford to buy a guitar but can't afford to buy a capo, you can get them really cheap :/

[wikkzzz55]

can you show us how to play JCB song by nizlopi please :)

[abdounnour]

very nice song, thanks for your lesson Marty ;-)

Pierre (Belgium)

[xOGamingPS3]

pfft who needs to buy a capo.... i made one out of string and a table spoon cause im poor :) its mt ghetto capo

[svedigsylte]

@xOGamingPS3 thats dedication XD

thumbs up from me

[CthulhuDarkLord]

@xOGamingPS3 Rubber bands and Pencils, in all seriousness are your best bet. Pencils have a nice flat surface for keeping all the strings down.

[borus55]

@CthulhuDarkLord not working its blok 1 string

[santamon12]

@xOGamingPS3 I dont get it.. You can afford a guitar but not a $5 capo??

[ianborras]

@xOGamingPS3 you could jsut tune your guitar to what the capo is tuning it. ;)

[xOGamingPS3]

@ianborras but then you would have to tune back down to standard and then up again to capo tuning and its so much effort am i right?..

[OnajSaKrupnim]

@xOGamingPS3 In my case it was rope and wooden pencile, it's soft so it will not make any scratches on my guitar ;)

[Lenedotten]

@xOGamingPS3 hahah, i made mine out of scrunchies and a pen!

[Peelioka]

@xOGamingPS3 its all about the pen with elastic band combo

[RitamRoyChoudhury]

Thanx For the lesson Marty..........

[JalilDennis]

You are great Marty. I mean the personality and time put int o these videos are what make them great.

[MushroomRapist]

[sicness4ooooo]

You can make a capo using a pencil and two hairbands. Look it up, there was a vid on youtube I think. Works pretty well too, although a bit uncomfortable.

[DaveHILL96]

does your ebook ship to uk??

[meego2]

@DaveHILL96 its an ebook, meaning u buy it then download it off his site

[umshamr0ck]

you are amazing at making awesome songs easy enough for me to play. thanks!

[MrDarkskater96]

i give 10E for capo:))))

[HellHound217]

My capo cost me $20. money well spent

[Krizkroz]

lol gotta love the sloooooooomoooooo

[Sonshien667]

Dear Marty, I noticed a slight improvement in the quality of your youtube videography! I like your nue Guitar, and youre a sexy beast. Does the ring on your finger mean you are married or are you still on the mack? just curious. I want to know more about the man behind the talent

[RogueZD1]

I only have an electric guitar should i learn the easy acoustic stuff anyway to get the basic chords down? do i need to invest in an acoustic guitar?

[richardlpalmer]

@RogueZD1 In case Marty can't get to your comment, let me just say -- YES! Doesn't matter if you only have an electric or an acoustic. Learn the heck out of these chords and play play play them. I think at last count there's slightly under a bazillion songs that only use 3 or 4 basic chords. ;)

[omarsalem91]

Marty dude! I was starting to get so bored with my standard chord progressions. This was JUST what I needed. Thanks man :D

[KacMoralny14]

Marty...marry me *_________*
