The ultimate scale/arpeggio lesson - How to Play Lead Guitar - Lessons

[qjames0077]

@guitarjamzdotcom Five to One by The Doors please? I know it's an easy song and I got some of it down, but the only video I can find is in Peruvian or something.

[gmsoccer18]

He looks like a mix of bam margera and Jason mraz

[GodlessPhilosopher]

The Schwartz is strong with this one.

[carrawitt]

Wow! You are a damn good teacher.

[shogan182]

Nice hat douche

[Pastoullio]

Marty! dude... i <3 this arpeggio... but could u tell us more about how u make all those lil' licks in between with it? thx

[Pastoullio]

i allways come back to the swartz ^^

[sicness4ooooo]

May the Schwartz be with You!

[Allday518]

woww.. I think ur the best teacher Ive ever seen..

[ayohi]

So basically what arpeggios are, are seperately played notes of a chord and then replayed into your own lick?

[speedstackingmanduh]

@ayohi There the chord tones of a specific chord. played or made into a riff. Because well the minor pentatonic scale can fit over most chords in the key, a arpeggio fits over a specific chord and can help draw out the chord tones. and you can use the other notes in say in the major scale or the dorian mode to spice up your playing

[ayohi]

@speedstackingmanduh so what youre telling me is that i can use arpeggios (broken down chords) and mix them with other arpeggios? and is a scale something completely different to arpeggios or is it also some sort of chord innovation? so if i wanna play a Cminor arpeggio over a pentatonic scale, would i have to configure the positions of this arpeggio on the frets incorporated in the pentatonic scale?

[shayonsasan]

I love what you do on youtube. Great help !!

[MenosFirebane]

haha, I love how you get carried away during a lesson and just all of a sudden start jamming.

[bustn86]

oh lets say maybe 50000 reps lmao

[XxLuigisMafiaxX07]

i like it .. izzz noiceee,, veddy veddy noice

[FBM55]

Marty,you make it more simple and practical than the others. Please, keep it so, make it simple is the hardest. Many would-be "teachers" did not convey the message and it's frustrating at the end of the lesson will not understand if they were to teach or show off. Thank you.

[pants72ofsnow]

so can they be used anywhere on guitar?

[mtflyer05]

Marty once fingered a girl. She died.

[Pastoullio]

@mtflyer05 she died happy :p

[chinliangz]

I believe that this would be useful to me one day. Thanks.

Its just an odd feeling. Hmm...

[quick2paint]

how many guitars do u OWN!..MY GOODNESS U HAVE A DIFFERENT ONE EVERY TIME I SEE U

[TheDilligan]

im assuming that shirt has more to do with spaceballs but its great for you lol.. btw thanks for all these helpful lessons you are better at teaching guitar then anyone else on youtube

[TheQwesDog]

great lesson, but the most important question, where can i get that shirt?

[zziggymaan]

were you playing the walk down from Lights by Journey at 7:09 ? it was awesome! :D

[TheAerosmith3]

Arepggio 1st 3rd 5th and 8th note of a scale. Ive heard it sooo many times in band class :^D

[tylerdwells]

You look like a bobble head

[Deanbass77]

I just peed a little.

[randyman54321]

Marty you are a great teacher and guitar player a very rare thing. Keep up the good work.

[rochaun11]

[blasterone]

Great great lesson like every time! Thank's a lot!

[fillieyo]

[Pollutens]

i really want one of those t-shirts

[MrAlekoukos]

[thatfilipinodude]

No way! That shirt DOES refer to you!!!!! I saw that "Schwartz be with you" shirt in the mall the other day, did a double take, and was like... MARTY?? Schwartz??? Man, if I knew I woulda bought it then and there!!!!

[ThornfullessRose]

@thatfilipinodude Haha, nah man, check out the movie Spaceballs. Has nothing to do with Marty. But it's a pretty awesome coincidence.

[carolif]

Thumbs up if you think marty's shirt is awesome

[kar98ksniper]

poor phrazing

[padshardbank]

Lets say, if you practice this enough............. lets say, 50 thousand repetitions...................­..

[claytrell]

Marty you truly are the man when it comes to these video lessons! Thanks man.

[christocakes]

Really well explained, helped ALOT! :D

[strabbs1]

syruggling with the fingering on this one guys, 5th on b5th on g 4th on g and ??? help

[TheAndreagallo]

MAAAAAARTYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! You are like a light in my deep darkness. U 're giving life to my passion for music that I thought dead through the maze of my past. THAAAAANKS. May the blues be with you forever

[betteraakash]

love you shirt <3

[riethc]

It's all good Marty, "arpeggio" and "crevice" aren't that big of words. As long as you explain the concept behind the word, we'll get it.

[bergalini]

That is so cool. Best lesson yet Marty. It looks so cool when you solo.

[millertime2727]

Thank You

[stalebread31]

nice lesson i love the more advanced jazz and blues lessons. Keep em coming!

[FalkenTube]

I hate you...your amazing! Thanks for the lesson!

[aproctor1968]

Very tasty and thought provoking. Thanks Marty!

[PabloFireFrenzy]

Arpeggio's, its a fancy word. Uh, so its a little more advanced here, but I think its something you can ya know if I show you how to use it, you can just add it as a peice of arsenal, uh without necesarily knowing every crevace of theory detail that's involved with it, ok so, I was trying to use big words there, I hope you understand.....XD

[ddepjr95]

@PabloFireFrenzy i was actually reading this while he was sayin it hahahahaha

[mugofdoom]

@PabloFireFrenzy Yeah I understood him just fine when he said it, but thanks for reiterating.

[jonwinagan1]

I want one of those T-shirts!!! How do I get one?

[Giova7]

Really liked this lesson. Do you have any lessons of how to apply scales and arpeggios (generally speaking) to your playing instead of specific licks and arpeggios? Thanks for these great videos, they've really helped a lot. Keep it up Marty and God bless.

[Paninian]

This is my new fav video from you marty, Love the theory, you should do more like this one. Thanks again man.

[kjpdqpb]

Cool vid marty. Your phrasing is better when it's not so busy. Most of your busy stuff sounds great too though. :D

[Maestrp37388]

I was able to add this immediately to my improvs and it really spiced things up considerably. Great to have this one in your pocket.

[theopposer666]

15,000 repetitions, you say...

[lafnbuddha]

like butter... no, JELLO!

[heros2015]

Thanks Marty, great lesson.

[mercurybiatch]

Very very very very good lesson marty!..again!

[maguida94]

thats great Marty!!! btw. why have you started again with guitarjamzdotcom?

[baadshepherd]

@maguida94 he uses guitarjamzdotcom to teach theory, and Martyzsongs to teach songs. Copyright crap I believe.

[maguida94]

@baadshepherd okay thanks^^

[drporkchop234]

This is an amazing lesson i would love if I got to get personal lessons.

You rock Marty!

[WayneNatural]

Very nice lesson, very interesting. thanks!!

[popomczowzow]

you can hear a good jazzy example of this style of playing (and I think this very arpeggio) in Phish's song "Contact"

That would be a cool song to do a lesson for too, good use of arpeggios mixed with the major scale and later some key changes and (I think) some relative major/minor stuff as well.

[carrabec99]

@zemaru1988 it says may the shwartz be with you ha ha out of a great movie called space balls and the last name of marty

[carrabec99]

mighty tastilious i was digging the sound of min 6:50 there marty if i only played half as good as you thanks for the vid

[SatanMadeMe]

#OMG sounds lovely :D

[justtreyrad]

Dude! I've been wanting a little more understanding of this and i think you just melted my brains with this! Awesome stuff as always!

[TylerDurden195]

@zemaru1988 may the schwartz be with you!

[Ajak28Hype]

dude, your amazing...hands down

[loveguitars]

5 Stars

[KrIIklaNe]

nice t-shirt :D

[jrsygrl142]

This lesson would have been cool on the jazz dvd's. Maybe you should do an add on lesson....a dvd with just jazz licks and arpeggios? that would be so very helpful....

[trhnpc]

your best lesson so far!!!!

[zile20584]

This is great trick man! Tnx a lot!

P.S. Marty tell me, which kind of wood is in your guitar body and neck?

[lonewolf604]

oh god, i hate dealing with modes! GAAAAH, damn jazz

[wwemmy]

Do you use boss loop station?

If so... can you make a tutorial video for it?

[itsallgood239]

It sucks not knowing scales and reading music because it makes it that much harder

[ThePunkAndRock]

May the Schwartz be with you !

[Stratomacaster]

"I hope you understand" .. lol ... What do you think we are Marty .. drummers or something? ha!

[loopie007]

Sorry, Marty, but too advanced for me. I could learn the lick, but nothing from the lick. I don't see how to apply the arpeggio into anything I would be doing, or know where to put it or something like it in. You said it's a C7 arpeggio, but I don't see any C7 chord or chord form. I don't see what I am supposed to be following. It looks like just a bunch of notes you made up. I don't see how you came up with it. Help!! and thanks Marty.. :-) MORE ALLEY!

[pokerslut530]

Man.... I wish I could chop your hands off and stitch them on me. I just absolutely have to get an electric guitar, no question about it. Are there any beginner electric guitar kits you'd suggest? At least, I'm under the impression that's the cheapest way to go about getting my first electric..?

[Johnnnybgoode]

@pokerslut530 look at rondo music. That have EXCELLENT guitars for not very much.

[pokerslut530]

@Johnnnybgoode Sweet - thank you man. Looks like their prices are pretty low for sure. You own a Rondo? If so, what model?

[Johnnnybgoode]

@pokerslut530 I don't own a rondo myself right now. But I've heard a lot of them being played. I plan to buy an ISIS model in the near future. One of the people who inspired me a lot when I was starting out, John McCarthey, plays one of those. Don't know if you've every heard of Rock House Method, but the guy form that plays all SX guitars, sold by rondo. It just depends one what you're looking for. They have everything.

[bondmaster420]

Marty, that whole thing made sense right up until the last part where you were soloing over C9. but it looked like you were using A#Maj7 arpeggio. i didnt understand how A#Maj7 relates to the C9 chord? what did i miss?

[guitarjamzdotcom]

over C, you get the 7,9,11,and 13

so Bbmaj7 over C is really quite tasty as a chord as well. try it, you'll see, izzz noice, veddy veddy noice....

[jcuchiara]

@guitarjamzdotcom That's a really easy way to visualize dominant extensions. Total light bulb moment.

[SharingonMadara]

@guitarjamzdotcom veddy nice how much

[JohnnyRetweeter]

@bondmaster420 I agree with you.. I think it would have been a good idea for Marty to mention that he was playing a different maj7 apreg. I wonder if it would have been easier to play D9 and show the mixo application with the same Cmaj7 apreg(full step apart- b7 of D = C) instead of C9 and Bbmaj7 (b7 of C). Potato POTATO I guess.. I have Marty to thank for all of this knowledge droppin' anywho so it's all good :)

[jaynjanna1]

@bondmaster420 I am glad that u asked that question. It threw me for a loop, i guess u can play the AMaj7 over the C9 also?

[jaynjanna1]

@bondmaster420 I am glad that u asked that question. It threw me for a loop, i guess u can play the AMaj7 over the C9 also?

[lakaiguy17]
