Blues Guitar Chords

[MRDATEA]

Marty you are the man! You lost me at the Hendrix chords tho. But still excellent lesson man!!!

[89SoloDolo]

3:45 to 4:12 is one big orgasm.

[rocker3277]

im finally putting the pieces together. once you see how the guitar works then you'll laugh and see how easy it can be by just feeling the sounds the guitar makes.

[MucusFelidae]

A guitar is a wooden box with wires on it.

[zhulia]

I wish I was ready for this earlier

[Tammy6880]

Loving this..One of my pals on FB sent me to your videos..You're great and thank you for helping teach people like me to play/feel the blues ;-)

[0donequit0]

This is the only place I have been able to pick up much useful stuff. Thanks Marty, you seem like a pretty cool dude as well. I might make a fair blues player some day

[loombaron]

man guitar is so difficullt, I will quit and try another intrument, maybe bass or drums.

[MrNattyful]

@loombaron wow

[inman1a]

dont know why marty puts up with all you Immature trolls,who probly dont even have a guitar LMAO,rock on Marty i for one have learned alot from you ,so never mind theses mindless trolls..

[charlieisyourgod]

2:14 ?????



[Xplodel23a8c]

2:13...... what the hell is that

[tommyboy67]

This is great but what if one (like me) tunes down a whole tone(that's 2 frets down)?

Maybe you should do this video with the down tuning for guys like me.

[pinoyblues69]

@tommyboy67 put a capo on the 2nd fret

[tommyboy67]

@pinoyblues69

That dosen't help me but thanks. How did SRV do chrods with the down tuning?

[pinoyblues69]

@tommyboy67 if you don't have a capo to put on the 2nd fret, then transpose man. basic music theory. try to google it.

[M1K3YIsNumba1]

7:35 He could be showing me his ring finger...or he could be giving the finger. lol

[ExtremeRunners100]

Good vid really helped

[electro257]

nice work.... thanks.

[warmail]

you are little fucking guy

[TheKINGAMAZIN]

what is shwartzear ?

[UrDadyy]

This lesson is too hot to handle !

[vin103]

marty man you are the best guitar teacher on the planet!!

[NexusCapital]

One of the best lessons Ive seen bro!

[smh81359]

I watched the video lesson on 'Good Riddance'. Had the root chords right, but wrong derivatives. Marty made it SIMPLE, and I was playing it in minutes,albeit roughly! A bit more practice and I'll be ready to throw in the words! THANKS!!!!!!

[Green01123Gold]

marty you have been a huge inspiration and encouragement and i am now learning blues and loving it I know several licks chords and scales thanks to you its a very fun genre to play

[schrobay]

Dude!!! That was very inspiring!!! NO DOUBT!!!

[morrisman64]

you need a better webpage just tried to gain access to video had problems

[jimalice1]

He's so good at showing where fingers should go on the fretboard, breaking up the licks etc. As a beginner/intermediate student trying to learn some acoustic blues, he's the best.

[markstyle1]

MARRY ME MARTYYYYYYYY !!!!

[Gelsyviolet]

Grazie mille! Sei forte. Thanks from Italy

[tonyt1145]

i want some burritos !! =/

[greck666]

Thanks again Marty. Another fantastic lesson.

[fc808541]

hhello,

have you midnight cowboy

thanks

[lonewolf1234512345]

@fc808541 i think he's straight, man

[HBzTV]

Not only is marty awesome at guitar but is also a great father and husband...

I approve

[KoelleMalaM]

what about a lesson with some unusual chords for a bit more advanced guitarplayer? maybe some indie-sounding chords? that would be awesome! :D

[NotAHeroJustADad]

Marty, ur the effin $**T!!! Just sub'd.

[poelie010]

thnx man Greetings Holland!

[serveTHEservants]

this guy rocks. NOT FOR BEGINNERS

This is clearly a lesson for people who know what theyre doing but needs some help

[Fuelove1]

possibly the best acoustic guitar lessons on the interwebz, ty!

[TheTrollhater]

Just found this video of yours fella.. good stuff.. took me years to learn what you show in a few minutes..Why was the web so long in comming.. Keep it up we can all still learn no matter what the age !

[rastastajl]

does i need to tune guitar other, or i can play with the normal E tuning ? :)

[TheTrollhater]

@rastastajl Its the normal tuning fella

[dude70530]

like bar here

[mindfreaks46]

I think hes a bad teacher tbh but i can c him being good to otger people

[HeynesProductions]

@mindfreaks46

You're probably just a really bad guitarplayer. Once you get better you'll probably understand more and more of what Marty's trying to teach here. It's helped me alot, thanks Marty!

[CreativeMaxims]

It would be great if you would teach us that riff, where you go up the neck on the Stevie Ray V example........Thanks either way this is great stuff!!!

[JRussoBuffaloNY]

La Chaim my man, great lesson! Thank You

[johnpwnsyou]

how high are you when you make these videos marty?

[johnnyrocanrol]

Muy buen video................lástima que sólo esté en inglés.

[mrsage98]

e-he-hey!!! wats up? guuuys

[MrDawnside]

I just love these lessons they are awesome and its so easy to learn when you been playing blues a much harder way, thanks so much for the lessons they are great!!!!

[thomasharman14]

Martys just wicked aint he!

[ledzepp97]

3:45 maybe Jimi Hendrix?

[KrisWiggly]

doing the trick on the E7. and my bastard ring finger keeps curling down when my pinky comes down. I'm telling it not to, trying to force it not to, but the sonofabitch just won't listen I'm about to chop it off! RAHHHH!!! awesome video marty. thanks BRAH!

[lenger1234]

@KrisWiggly Duct tape.

[adaptiveagile]

@KrisWiggly - my ring finger is equally as annoying. I find when I slow it down it starts to behave. Maybe that's the key. Super annoying finger that Ring. There's an awesome video in Youtube land about a finger isolation exercise that I think it helping me. I can direct you to it if ya want. But don't abandon Marty. He's the best.

[KrisWiggly]

@adaptiveagile lol I would never stop supporting this guy hes great. Ill do a search for it I'm sure Ill find it. I never though of looking up isolation exercises before so hopefully it'll help me too.

[adaptiveagile]

@KrisWiggly - Honestly I'm still having a bitch of a time with it, but the isolation exercise was a paradigm shift so I could focus on discrete mvmts. I'll want to arpeggiate, say, a C chord,& my wee brain casually says," lift your #2 for the HO"... and there's this awkward hand silence as if my hand is questioning this complex request. Low moment. For hours of finger fun for the whole family: Try the 1 finger salute with just the ring finger--& no cheating by holding 1,2 and 4 with your T!

[OpetCorak]

pglu si

[Pluckyxo]

Damn Marty that's a spicy lesson

[zoso652]

чувак, это круто

[Spiritinthesky2k]

Ok Marty I gotta ask.... What the hell was going on off camera that had you making those funny faces?

[JakeBluez]

Marty, your lessons just keep getting better and better. I think this is one of your best. it was very enjoyable to hear you play. Thank you so much

[AlvinJarek24]

thanks good lesson!

[PRETALIATION]

Good lesson - Nice job on the vid. - Thanks

[rockinggoose1]

You take the mystery out of music. Keep it up.

[ThrashReisball]

Hey man, why do tell this so late? That's awesome, with just two chords you can do this great stuff! thank you man!

[asianguy008]

you could totally blend in with the background

[traceural]

thanx for the video lesson, Do you use a standard tuning?

greetings from spain

[CjsPanchito1]

hehey what´s up?

[TheCanoerider]

TEACH ME GOD! :D

[Z0mByZ]

you're awesome but I would like if you could make a video that explains why you can add notes on chords (like you did with your pinky) so we could figure out ourselves wich notes would fit with some chords

[mwilhelmus]

@Z0mByZ Start adding notes while you're playing and see what sounds good!

[kelroy9]

Dang you make that look easy.

[matthiashavenaar]

Good! Good!

[iamgreyhound]

can anyone break down the lick at 3:45 (or somewhere around) when he play it on the b string?

[KaylieYes]

thank you soooo much for this tutorial :)

[hieghy57]

hahaha 2:13 his face is funny

[thegreatmunizzle]

Had to login just to say that this is probably the best single lesson I've watched on youtube. Taught me SO many things I wanted to know but didn't know how to find/what to call them. Awesome.

[rx7nz]

marty..what were you looking at during this lesson??just curious

[littleshitfly]

You are a great teacher, much better than the others

[TheMidnightSmurf]

0:59 = Jizzface

[ZackDonovan]

holy shit you look exactly like my uncle

[MrArconite]

Awesome video! Ugly background!

[dnick1981]

Marty S has again drilled right down to the blues diamonds I have been waiting to find. I have two pages of notes here which will probably keep me going for days. The man is a legend.

[nexsynyster]

yo marty your an awesome teacher. I learn a shit load form you. itll be awesome if you upload lessons on latino and flamenco music

[prestigeworldwide141]

@toby48624 the key is E, hence you should solo in E. rarely, if ever will a player switch soloing keys.

[zipzagger99]

Man you're awesome!

[Toby48624]

Hope you dont mind a stupid question.

So this song obviously is in the key of E (7).

Which pentatonic scale should I use to solo... only the e scale?

[lamelamelame8]

@Toby48624 you could switch the scale you use as the chords change,

use the pentatonic for the chord being played

so E pent over E7, A over A7 and so on,

just a thought, but of course all the notes for the progression are already in E pentatonic

[lija1911]

dude you look like you'r hungover

[hati3kuro]

SUBBED

[bubbayork]

marty ur the man. let these haters talk sht... theyre still watchin the vids aint they?

[Pedafexifixifax]

[thebluesrockers]

[aztk222]

[Cha0z19]

[glebjazz]

Acoustic blues sounds so lovely

[greatstarsanddreams]

[TheThePetersen]

Marty thanks so much for teaching me awesome blues

[luvmycorso]

[Todoslosfritos]

Americans are generally generous nice people.

[buuuuck1]

AWESOME

[bibozs]

You look like my dad yo

[IBLANKO]

you jive'n me man?

LoL much respect for da blues

[marik374]

omg you suck!!!

[Stonewallization]

Marty, you are the best guitar instructor of all time. No teacher has taught me more in such a short period of time. My skills have blown up as a result of your instruction. They're simple, but not condescending. Informative, but not too complex. You are awesome, dude! Thank you so much!

[Greenduckness]

7:05 - 7:11

"Man, this is some good music- WHAT THE HECK- Oh, that's my cat..." Haha

[TubeFreakJonas]

You are a musically engaged player/teacher - so important.

I like how this makes me think through all the little the scraps and bits I know, and add to them, and look at new possibilities. Keep up the great stuff!

[themeca100]

You are the best online guitar teacher ever man!!

[psylord777]

hi there! how do i turn my squier strat w/ fender frontman 15g (starter pack) sounding like blues sound? and don't tell me to get an acoustic, i'm waiting for my cousin's one.

[sexyhentai15]

@psylord777 google magic, my friend.

[Kokotienko]

man, you are awesome, i can jam all night.

[Stan1208]

This might just be the best guitar teacher I have seen.  Great teacher. Thanks Marty.

[mkrabc]

holy crap B7 rules

[luddoo0]

Marty for president!

[jasonhumby]

you've given me a lot to think about dude seriously i'm gonna be practicing those chords all day now sounds so good

[jasonhumby]

nice hat dude !

[Joker2Phresh]

this dude is soooo baked

[catnip1970]

Marty, it is videos like this one, where you're teaching more theory and technique, much more than the ones where you are teaching a specific song that have improved my playing. The single song vids teach me to play a song. This teaches me to play guitar. Thanks!

[sailxonxmusic]

Marty you should do a tutorial on Classical Gas by Mason Williams! There are almost no good tutorials out there and I'm pretty much stuck at the intro!

[Camble1994]

9:20 sounds much like my pride and joy! :D

[FarraoMovies]

2:13 to 2:16 - LOL :D BTW: Marty, thank you for all your guitar lessons. You are my favorite guitarist ;) GOOD JOB ;)

[tolawi08]

watching your videos have been helping me familiarize myself with the scales and playing in key. thank you and i hope you continue

[PatterGuitsIt]

M.F.S. Thumbs up if you get that

[Shancus32796]

Oh my goodness thanks for getting right down to it. Other videos the people just go on and on and I get no where with the video :) Thanks!!!

[leesbo55]

[Skiptothebeat007]

[dargantuan]

Pretty awesome ! Thanks for the tips. i am going to try them tonite.

[leeham987]

[jangel2771]

[gothikord]

[nac03]

Thanks man, you are a genius. Im a bass player and just play the guitar for fun, but you made me start learning more seriously! great style!

[thecreamsicles]

Thanks Marty! I recently found you and have been learning a ton and having a blast. This lesson was an extra gem.

[kjp3793]

your teaching style is so smooth. i love it. thanks a ton man.

[mcsplst]

[rusty1114]

[BuddZunga1]

Great video!!

I like your teaching style too. Straight forward and simple.

[shemaetabzz]

[paulskate411]

Marty bringing the good music back!

[aragon667]

what kind of strings do you use?

[ThePauldoddy1]

T o someone as good as yourself you looked bored going through the blues changes, but it still sounds good to me :-)

[Alexander9guitar]

Marty, you are definately the best teacher I have ever had too :D

[xCityisMinex]

this is gonna help me make more music, becuase i need more FLAVOR in my music haha, thanks!
