My advice is to keep practicing SLOWLY. I've only been playing 7 months but trust me, it's better playing slow and correct than fast and sloppy.

[justmesince1994]

@danielbrown1998 play for 6 months now and he is right slow practise makes it lots and lots easyier to learn

[doutorstarwars]

[theriphraff]

Great lesson! Slowly learning that there is no way around just plain ol' practicing. You can't get around it. So I stopped trying.

[madduck99]

having only been playing less than a year, i too struggle on chord changes. This video will help greatly. Thanks Marty!

[LouWry8]

I want Marty to be my guitar teacher in real :D : ))))

[LegationZ]

I can't find a guitar that sounds as good as yours

[qqwerca]

@LegationZ probably can't play as good as him too :]

[XxTheTallGuyxX]

Marty you'r amazing ... when i was small i always used to give up on everything like football judo ect ... same thing hapened with guitar playing but somehow a couple of years ago i stumbled across one of your videos and since then i never looked back.

Thanks marty !

[Dnco2003]

Hi Mr. Marty, you know why you are the best guitar teacher online? It's because you always have the passion to teach us some good guitar chords. Just keep it up!

[EasyCill04]

Marty should get a award for "best online teacher"!!

[edbanys]

Hey Marty, can you teach,

China Grove by the Doobie Brothers?

[shqatk]

4:44 Pause

[rocknrollkatie]

Thanks, Mary! Your awesome! I like your new guitar by the way ;)

[EverythingConor]

Ayo BIG UP.

[cheezyridr]

the beginner thing is really being done to death. how about something more advanced? i ordered your "blues master class" and it was ok, but the series didn't really go much further than the advanced beginner stage. less of a master class, more like an early intermediate class.

[exconguitar]

Thanks Pal, Now I have "Keep the Shape" stuck in my head for the day.

Oh, wait a minute ... DING!

- yer a genius

[Majkel1990Poland]

[damocollier666]

[chessdude67]

Thank you, Marty! You're videos show up when I need them the most. I'll pick that guitar back up and hang in there. One chord at a time!

Thumbs Way Up! :)

[007onlytaller]

My pop tart is Britney Spears. I'm still waiting.

[NormanRB]

Thumbs up if you think Marty is the best teacher online!!!

[Grunge494]

@NormanRB teaches a little slow for my taste, but a good very teacher...

[NormanRB]

Keep on rock'n Marty!!!!

[aricman100]

@CKS5000 Yes,I have tried that already.But thanks anyway!

[silva9maro]

Thanka man, you rock!

[pgonz09]

Thanks Marty for the tips in this lesson I tried them out and have seen results pretty quick thanks again for another great lessons and keeping me inspired

[HerbanLegend420]

Marty! I'm a huge fan of your work, Spread that knowledge! The thing that confuses me however, is why and why not certain chords/notes sound good in succession, and others do not. Please blow my mind with a lesson on music theory.

[kennedyhair84]

paying attention to keeping your muscles relaxed helps a lot too.people have a tendency to hold their breath or tense up their shoulders when playing which will make it hard to develop the correct muscle memory.

[DUDEIAMWHITE]

bar chords. fml

[txsam13]

Hey Marty what about when I want to start to sing, I am having trouble with that playing (strumming) and singing at the same time. How can I overcome that?

thanks for all the help

[themillionking]

thank you :)

[CKS5000]

Hey Marty you forgot to talk about relative fingerings. Like the ring finger on the B string in a G chord and the D chord, it stay's the same.

[AcousticFlow14]

does anyone know what kind of guitar hes using in this video?

[jarom42]

@AcousticFlow14

It looks like a Martin

[Kevin3308]

@noal63,nah you'll be fine with that chord one day.=)

[XxBazZicoxX]

Keep the shape! Keep the shape!

[aricman100]

Hey Marty! Just wondering if you can do a lesson on how to solo.I know both the major and minor scales by heart but I do not know what to do with it.I have been stuck in the same position for a couple of years now.I never really understood how to use the scales,and I would really like to advance. Thank You

[CKS5000]

@aricman100 Have you tried to skip intervals on the scales just to get away from running up and down.

[kevinzawssum]

thanks man! this really helped!

[noal63]

I have so much trouble with B's F's and C's xD

[jazl10]

[PigfartsMaddie]

This really helped, thanks. I'm actually just using your videos to learn basic guitar, and I thought it wouldn't be enough, and I'd need a tutor or whatnot, but I'm actually making real progress. So, thankyou, a lot :D

[85248jeff]

[fcoll9123]

[vivmaidenised]

East or West Marty is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!

[Defineguitar]

Please do a song tutorial on keep away by godsmack i posted it on guitarjamz to!

[locoken]

"Keep the shape....Keep the shape!  Yeow!!!"

[somboku]

@guitarjamzdotcom

hey marty can you give a lesson about pentatonic scales and how to put them together

i really dont understand that thing with solos and stuff

[Emperorofthestargate]

when im in the internet i watch your uploads :D

[DTADmusic]

Could you do a video similiar to this one but with Barre chords? I sometimes have troubles switching to certain barre chords.

[XIDoStuffX]

@DTADmusic what i've learned to do is if i'm having trouble with a weird fingered chord, of any kind, is to play a little section that the chord appears in. I do this very slowly, but making sure i get everything perfectly right. I play it at the same speed for a while, then you do it a little faster, then make sure you can do it correctly, and do it even faster. Repeat the process and soon you'll find that you can play it at normal speed or even faster! Tell me if this helped you out!

[DTADmusic]

@XIDoStuffX Yeah I can play the chords properly and at proper speeds, it's just that switching from certain major to certain minor chords is a bit tricky for me. Thanks for the tip though.

[iHacksorzz]

watching porn? haha 1 hand is busy switching chords while the other is busy with something else.

[raphael77ful]

Man u rock I posted this video on my Friends wall who is learning guitar and is a beginner and just bought his guitar I have guitar for almost 4 5 months and you have been a great inspiration and every single one of your lesson was helpful carry on with your good work ......... regards Marty!!!

[silverdark43]

what's up with that one dis-liker?!

[berlapin2]

thx



[noodlegirl99]

KEEP THE SHAPE!

Nice battle cry. xD

[miguelangelv7]

i learned by doing 4 different cords that went together im pretty fast now

[guitarristaderock21]

Marty: epiphone les paul or fendre stratocaster? My first electric guitar!!!

[TheArcticMonkeyz]

@guitarristaderock21

complete different guitars, if you want a clean sound pick the strat, if you prefer the thicker rock sound pick the epiphone.

[TheDilligan]

5:09 Best Part! :D

[mulimotola44]

A really good tip that helped me developing chord control is to lift one of the fingers and placing it back on while playing... playing around with all the fingers that shape the chord, pressing the finger down and then lifting it up, while leaving the others pressed. It also makes the strumming a LOT more fun because you have variation in your playing, with minimum muscle effort, and maximum enjoyment from playing.

It's actually fun to play using this tip.

Enjoy :)

[xmaddict]

That "spit-second" tip is good for open chords to barre chords transition.

[xmaddict]

Great tips Marty!

[xmaddict]

I use the "method" at 2:10 for working on my major scale runs. To get it to be more ingrained.

[xmaddict]

For a beginner knowing how to play G Major 50 different ways doesn't help. When I started 2 years ago. I learned as Marty has taught. A few chords at a time. Worked on getting the strumming and chord shapes just right so now it's automatic.

[WhyDoesCatsSmell]

i can't tell you how much of an inspiration you are :) Great channel and great work. One of the best guitarists on youtube

[Sinker861]

@WhyDoesCatsSmell On YouTube?? In the world!!!

[antoholland]

Class marty!

[SoundDefence]

[MARIOFREAK821]

4:45 LMFAO

[MrHiettMikey]

5:42 *SPLUUURGE*

[MIKELiscrazy]

Nice lesson! I had trouble with this like my first week of learning!

[ubk95]

reminded me of when i was a beginner and how you guys gave colors to my music :)))))

[TheNoodleInc]

Thanks Marty! I myself have a few guitar students and sometimes it's pretty hard to teach them how to swtich between the chords, you know "Do you have some tips how to learn change the chords faster?".

I allready knew the "multitasking" thing but not the freeze method or target notes. So i'm gonna try it out. Thanks ^^

[natebombdiggitydawg]

The intro reminded me of Dreaming with a Broken Heart by John Mayer and Red Roses by Aj Rafael..check those tunes out!

[rapidJesse]

thanks, i will show this to my friends that are learning

[MrSuperMariaz]

5th



[crownvvc4]

wanna switch chords fast?--repetition repetition repetition!

[006JoeS]

Hey man. You are my teacher for learning just so your know :) I might even pay due to your one video that says your lessons are more lined up when you do.. great marketing words, you should say it way more

[Invivus]

Really helpful, thanks !

[Sprangeful]

Gahahhaa, love you man, that intro cracked me up :)
