Guitar Lessons - Free Falling by Tom Petty Easy acoustic song

[Askingalexandria8407]

My biology teacher played this song without a capo so are the notes the same just down an extra fret or what? Cause I don't have a capo but I really want to play this song

[CataclysmFTW]

bet u get all the girls :O

[unstable132]

thumbs up if you used a pencil for a capo

[92RR]

@unstable132 fail

[CaNNmaNN420]

do song and emotion by tesla acoustic if possible!! pleaseee i know the beginning stuff.

[7taytayc]

your an awsome teacher! i love this song!

[TheArnab19]

LOL @2:04

[JM139314]

quick question whats the best way to play if ur missing part of ur pinky and you cant reach well?

[danman477]

Marty, you ARE the best

[1978markconway]

dorry i dot understand you

[Metalheadmilo]

@KillinDaWelfareMCs

That's pretty harsh, don't you think? Could YOU play bar chords the first time you picked up a guitar? If you could, cool. But that doesn't give you a right to discourage beginners. Dick move, bro.

[lax28dplyr]

I just wish you had really laid out the strumming pattern and touched upon the bridge of the song. Otherwise good work, I've been utilizing a lot of your videos and they've helped a lot.

[Leftinwright]

Please do some John Mayer

[packbacker221]

x means open right?

keep forgetting that

[MrJsbacher]

@packbacker221 No, "x" means the string is muted and/or not to play it. Either way, "x" means you're not supposed to hear sound from that string. "0" means open.

[kreamo225]

keep pressing 3

[berherbi]

thx marty, great berh

[scorin2day1]

he says asus but then g pops up on the screen???? someone help!!!!

[MrJsbacher]

@scorin2day1 Hey man, When he says E major, it's 0-2-2-1-0-0. When he says Asus2, it's 0-0-2-2-0-0. The number is the number of frets from the capo. So, since you should have a capo on the first fret, a "2" would actually mean the third fret. If you don't have one, but really want to play this song, tune your guitar to F, A#, D#, G#, C, and F respectively from lowest sounding string to the highest. Rock on!

[crazyVIDSguy]

I thought Marty exploded at the end...

[cyclone1014]

marty your the best. ive had my guitar for a month and never played a guitar before i got mine and now i know atleast 20 songs and everyone i play in front of thinks i am awesome. Including the ladies ;) haha. THANK YOU MARTY!!!!!

[mrscottybizzer]

Youtube = Dope

Marty Schwartz = Hot Fire

Dope + Fire = Good Stuff :)

[Zssmith1994]

I had my guitar in drop D and it took me about 10 minutes to figure out why my chords sounded like crap. CTM.

[XhockeyfightX]

May the Schwartz be with you!

[wdunc102]

if you dont know how to make a capo go to youtube and type in how to make a capo.It should say something about using 2 rubber bands and a a pencil

[flosi4ever]

i really dont get the strumming pattern ): can somebody type it out for me?

[walkerb13]

@flosi4ever I think this is it Down on the E, DDUD Asus2, Down on the E, DDUD Bsus4, Back to E

[lolirawsum]

@bobbyrootz i think he was trying to ask "what kind of strings are better"

LOL i guess you've got reading and spelling problems.

[abrodey]

you should do a guitar lesson on heart of life by john mayer :D :D

Please:p

[idiot551]

pleaseee do a tab how to video on john mayer's version of this song!

[iejjei]

hi there, i have a yamaha f310 acoustic guitar. And im just learning how to play a guitar. i just want to ask you guys want is the best string that i could use. my 3rd strng snapped last night when i was tuning it..

thanks..

[bobbyrootz]

@iejjei best chord to play without your g string?

just get new strings, it makes a word of difference

[TheChriscox06]

ITS ALL SHIMMERY......AND THEN GLITTER FEEL...LOVE IT

[Androve1997]

press like if you saw his face on 2.04 and laught!

[TheMusicianlove1100]

all because of you Marty i have learned 30 songs in the past month in a half

[wdklauka]

what if you don't have a capo yet? (i just got my guitar and have yet to get one.) will it still sound like it should or would it have to be played different?

[MrBigdworley]

@wdklauka u can pick one up on eBay for 3.99 free shipping i just got mine and its super nice beats paying 20,00 marty ur the best man

[calypsofishy1]

hey marty was looking for beautiful girl by David Hayes was wondering if you could do something about that ty my friend

[nKRiZZo]

Holy shit, you look like danny devito in batman.

[sugarland97k74j70k]

I like capo on 3 and do G Cadd9 G D in the same rhythm :) but I play it other ways too! Depends on the occasion haha

[4321seb]

pause 0:27

[malkdk]

what barre chord?

[Kitsune987]

Cant you just play the song without a Bar chord?

[YouMangArt]

@Kitsune987 then youll never learn 2 play bar chords

[claxtonate]

can you play it without a cap?

[zachclark1213]

HAIL MARTY SCHWARTS! MAY THE SCHWARTS BE WITH YOU!

[superwerdna1]

Hey, awesome video! I found while doing the easy part with the capo 3 frets down if instead of using a G chord you use this: x-x-0-0-0-3 It is much easier. I personally just don't play the top 2 strings. So it would be D, x-x-0-0-0-3, x-x-0-0-0-3, D, A. BTW I love your videos!

[lovificationofmusic]

The second part he played is actually the exact chords and rhythm of the song "Good Morning" by Chamillionaire. For some reason i never noticed that it was a play off of "Free Falling" haha

[MrJoenotoes]

soooo easy. thank u so much

[UglyGamer961]

Awesome as usual!!

[MoneyGuru012]

I thought you could do it D Dsus4 (x2) D Asus4 D and just mix it up a lil. Would that be ok?

[lillmatte100]

I crapped my pants at 6:45

[bob3063v]

Can somebody tell me where I can find the tabs for no capo? I READ THE FIRST COMMENT AND NOW I'M EAGER TO KNOW!!!

[barbs19788]

Ashton kutcher sucks in 2 and !/2 men

[yidabud]

Burn in HELL HATERS!!! HAHAHAHA

[THEEiowajedi]

Dont listen to the haters.. Keep on doing it up man!

[r2d0mebenny]

LOLOL Pause at 2:03

[TheLastGuyStanding00]

D--G--G-D-A--

Same thing as above, but with no capo.

[baldhippyrecords]

Easier to play and sounds better with capo on 3rd fret and the F chord is a D shape. No bar chords!!

[jcmoovee]

@baldhippyrecords he shows that at 4:09

[willypdyer]

Thanks Marty:

I like your style - relaxed & humorous ..

Appreciate your help. I did want to learn this song & it now looks pretty easy, actually.

[packbacker221]

raise your hand if you hate bar chords

[KillinDaWelfareMCs]

@packbacker221 lol anyone who can't play bar chords needs to give up, or better yet try harder!!!

[Homegirl1982]

@packbacker221 You know, I hated barred chords until I messed around on guitars that had an appropriate (low) action (the distance between the strings and the fret board). That made all the difference in the world.

So it's my personal suspicion that people who hate barred chords might likely being playing guitars with horrible action, or that generally aren't set up correctly.

[gfj77]

Would be great if you could change the insert for the 2nd chord. You talk about a "Asus2" but a "G" is shown. Besides that, thanks for the lesson!

[jennarae123]

Your amazing Marty!



[Octane1337g]

I have a fucking capo but i cant find i

[dud684]

Thumbs up of you think people need to get the stick out of their butt and stop complaining when someone uses a capo

[kitelooper]

dude, thanks for sharing the vids, will pass the good will on man...

[nickynunn]

are they the only chords in the whole song?good teaching by the way.

[alvik007]

You can do it with capo on 3rd and then start with a D chord then D with pinkey on 3rd fret of the high E instead of a G chord and then Asus4, and keep your ringfinger on the same place all the time. Much easier ;)

[Themusicalman1]

@alvik007 I was just camping yesterday and stumbled upon that... i was just wandering onto the Marty lesson to tell all these good people about it, you beat me to it though!

[superwerdna1]

@alvik007 Yeah, I discovered that too and I have NEVER used a full G chord for this song since then :D

[evilconevil23]

Or spend 6 dollars on a cheap capo? If you can spend money on a guitar I'm sure you can afford 6 dollars for a fantastic investment to make your life a whole lot easier.

[andrealsterhem]

just make an home made capo ffs. take a pen and alot of ropes. like i do

[summerloveslove]

there is a much easier way to do this...

[randomaccount13579]

after the first to chords i was like aww yeah! i am rocking this! then came the 3rd chord.....

[98ls1maro]

Please do a tutorial on the same song as played by John Mayer.

You're the best teacher on youtube...

[salvear0913]

0.19 haha



[TrifectaTeam]

At 2:05 He looks like a dinosaur

[Raanu4Life]

BEESUS!! 4.

[TheDementedStudios]

there is a way betta wat

without a capo

u go d g d d d a

it is so much easier and sounds betta

[Austigami]

capo 3,d,d sus 4,....,d sus 4,d,d sus 2

[downwithGEICO]

FUCKA YOU CAPO!

[RelaxNplay64]

isn't there also like a solo part in the middle of the song you forgot

[codyANNABLE1990]

Btw, on my last comment, no capo is required

[codyANNABLE1990]

Ultra super duper easy way for lazy beginners who haven't learned their chords but still want to play something: Fret 3, A and D strings. Then fret 1 on A string and 3 on D string. Play fret 1 on A and 3 on D again. Back to fret 3 on A and D. Then finally, fret 3 on A and fret 5 on D. It's generic, I know, but it sounds pretty good for beginners who have trouble with finger placement.

[DarkPharow83]

i have that same capo!!!

[AcousticDreams0]

Bar chords aren't that bad -_- if you can't do 'em you're not trying hard enough.

[EatTheRich27]

capo on 3rd: D G Dsus D Asus DONE!!!!

[tomglavinehof1]

@EatTheRich27 Exactly, thats the way I play it!!! It sounds exactly like it.

[BBONK95]

I CANT DO BAR CHORDS.

[MorbidAngel2011]

@BBONK95 bar chords suck ass

Thanks Marty! You rock!

[brobro565656]

FUCK ANOTHER SONG WITH A BAR CHORD !!!!!

I HATE YOU GUYS

[eetanderndyn]

@brobro565656 Just play it... D G G D A. No bar chords and a helluva lot easier

[hangloose301]

@brobro565656 bar chords are a pain in the ass, just learn a song that uses almost nothing but bar chords, i learned anna molly by incubus and never really had a problem with them since

[Mikerockgod3]

@brobro565656 just practice and u will learn how to bar cus if u cant bar then ur not very good

[ItalianStallion393]

@Mikerockgod3 It's not even a bar. It's an unmuted power chord.

[mkasselt]

@brobro565656 Don't be intimidated! First off, that isn't even a barre chord. Secondly, the only way to learn barre chords is to practice them! Don't give up

[jcmoovee]

@brobro565656 its not even a bar chord lol its a powerchord

[xXJerkinXx828TGod]

@brobro565656 Yeah like was jcmoovee said it's a power chord...

[XlotOfFunX]

@brobro565656 if u wanna be a great guitar player, u must could do the ''bar'' chords. im not saying ur a bad player, but u have to know the bar chords :) (im not good at it myself so...)

[AlecDesigns]

@brobro565656 why dont u learn how to play bar chords instead of complaining like a bitch, bar chords are easy,just learn it, and marty is a great teacher so dont hate.

[llieno100]

@brobro565656 you could use a triad of the bar chord wont be as full but its away

[cosinePINGPONG]

@brobro565656 technically not a barre chord, 2 or more notes are not fretted with one finger

[justin20111000]

@brobro565656 learn to love bar chords.

[calebfayani]

I just want to say that i truly appreciate your talent and thank you for sharing it. because of your lesson, i was able to enjoy my guitar more simply 'cause i knew more songs to play now than before:P again, thank you! you ROCK!!!!

[Kirkatron713]

damn capos

[AbandonAllShips691]

Thanks for the help! Ive played guitar for about 8 yrs and never got around to learning this song until today lol

[eetanderndyn]

D G G D A chord progression is much much easier

[0806053]

@eetanderndyn thats the same thing I was going to say!!!

[zabo0mafo0]

Just picked up my sisters guitar for the first time and watched this video. Thanks for teaching me my first song!

[cpete2475]

can you do john mayers version???

[Shauna646]

This helped alot, thanks :)

[whpriol1]

You know a really great song is when you can play it many different ways, but it still sounds great. Tom Petty's Free Fallin' is one such song.

[fsuboi22]

I never really leave that position

[fsuboi22]

I know an extremely simple way to play this. Literally my dog could do it. But this is still a good tutorial. I have capo on the 3rd fret and use a d cord but never real

[Jevethwind]

lol he does look like he's been hitting the bottle, but I agree, he is among the best guitar teachers, i find myself referring to his videos on a regular basis.

[wayno800]

Another great one thnx Marty!!!!!

[NUIVIBER5]

thumbs up if you can do this without capo in a different way

[a2zme]

@NUIVIBER5 Love the tutorial but the capo isn't really necessary since all 3 chords can be played in the same fret position as barred chords ... first chord is f major barred and so on... sounds really sweet.

[11thhourreprieve]

i aint learning this tune yet but it's on my list, have a few others to work on and tighten first but I appreciate your efforts Marty, you're a credit to the music world and one of the top youtube teachers imo, there aint many good ones. You seem like a quality guy too. thanks for your videos and teaching me stuff by sharing what you know.

[Ninnynha]

personally i prefer the first version (capo 1st fret) ;D

[IrishDaddi]

D, G, E is the best way to play this song with cap on 2nd:)

[memimer]

so easy

[tovara22]

Do you need a Capo? I don't own one!!

[burninkey]

@tovara22 use a pencil and a rubber band to make a makeshift capo.....but it's a pain in the ass!!

[tovara22]

@burninkey Thanks!

[N1cman84]

@burninkey Dude...i do the same thing! like i thought i was the only one who did that XD pretty much a ghetto capo. lolz

[Mikethekiller7]

there is an easier way,using the D chord,if you look up his lesson on the Wanted Dead Or Alive corus, he shows 2 different styles of the standard D Chord, with the capo on the 1st you do the normal d, then the one where u have ur pinky finger on the third then strum it twice thendo the normal chord then the form of the d with nothing on the high e string freted idk if I explained it right I found out about this when I first got my capo

[beatlesrock354]

What's the fingerings for bsus4 I have looked on the Internet and everywhere I go gives me different fingerings for the chord

[BruceMac9]

@beatlesrock354

You can do all chords a few different ways, the way you play Bsus4 for this song is x-2-4-4-0-0 (with the capo). If you find a different method more comfortable, it's OK to use that too.

[Emmalouisie]

great lesson :) whats the strumming pattern? (I know it's in the vid, but could you write it out?)

[zSistine]

I can't do the bsus4, my fingers keep pressing the otehr strings

[zSistine]

How long does it take to learn a guitar until I can play every note?

[g0tcadaver]

@zSistine

30 years

[ashpearse]

iv tried to play this song for a long time and failed, thanks for showing a nice simple enjoyable way of playing it and making it sound great :)

[DanielMcGuinness1]

great lesson as always marty, check out my cover guys, let me know what you think, thanks :)

[gunner195815]

Marty! I want to learn to play Take it easy by the eagles! 

[maaudiosubs]

Some one tell me the struming pattern for each note cant get it. Thanks.

[twilightfan861]

Is there something else that you can do for the bsus4 because I've been practicing it forever and I just can't seem to get it right. I might being doing it wrong, but its really hard... HELP!!!!!!! :)

[lynx155]

Hey Marty Can i make a request that you do a lesson on how to play Free Fallin by John mayer :) i know it would be long and difficult but im sure many people would enjoy it

thanks :)

[twilightfan861]

what is the strumming pattern??

[TheKingsofsuffering]

@twilightfan861 the strumming pattern i learnt is all of it down

[twilightfan861]

i can do it except for the bsus4 part

[booooya100]

Good lesson

[linaantonellenyrsa]

thanks!!! You are great!!
