[TheDonnyT]

You're the man Marty. Whenever I want to learn a song I ALWAYS look for your videos first. Thanks.

[maxxikiller]

Anyone know what guitarr he's playing on?

[AdamCKY123]

Great video but come on change the title, is it NOT easy.

[Xiales007]

[54stratocaster1]

[modernbrats]

[MrsPacman79]

[blablabla7947]

AND THE CHORUS

[melalotfali]

fantastic lesson really clear

[sofakinghxc803797]

clicked on a random lesson for this song. knew everything was going to be fine once i saw it was Marty.

[CubbyCubbyCupcake]

YAY THANKS:D

[brianadejonge]

Thanks so much, my guitar teacher said it was too hard for our class but just helped me prove him wrong!! ;)

[zdenkasitova]

Made me happy, thank you.

[ScubaShawnn]

i wish this guy was a bit slower

[mmrickyred88]

That is about the same way I learned it in the mid 1970's while in the Navy. We kind of impovized on the finger rolls for the cording at the 10th and 12th frets thanks for sturing memories. And keep on playing and teaching. Thank you!

[im8yours8]

what is the strum-y part at 7:10 when Marty is playing 5th string 10th fret and 3rd string 12th fret? is it B, G, B, B , G?

[RixGuitar]

excellent job thank you

[gabedachickenlord]

I dont know how to play guitar, but i have some music background(violin) but i want to learn this for my girlfriend, one of her favorite songs. so any pointers? lol

[artcorebass]

Could you do a tutorial for Chug-A-Lug

[GreedX23]

i still don't understand how to play it. uh.... should i just give up on playing guitar?

[mixedchemicals21]

@GreedX23 its easy just try to find the simpilest way to play it , if a 13 year old can play it u can too , dont give up just keep practicing

[doodlemasterful]

@GreedX23 Yeah don't give up I'm 12 and I learnt it when I was 11 so you can =)

[ffjjeeff]

i am happy now

[FelixIdan]

Thank you so much! You rock Marty!

[elimyu]

This is my favorite Beatles' song :D thanks!

[dylad]

Although they weren't all the correct chords. The bass part at "Take this Broken wings/ sunken eyes" is supposed to go up by half steps. not like that. but that is how I began playing it.

[coroline23]

6:37 = Mary Schwartz :)

[Turtledotbe]

thank you :)

[lizardman1994]

this is right shit dont watch

he fucks up the first little picking section and fails he doesnt explain any of i properly""

[blakem375]

@lizardman1994 i thought it sounded fine, although I'm willing to hear the way you play it so I can compare the two..

[NeonCatastrophie]

only marty can do harmonics with acoustic :P

[paapa0]

great tutorial...............

[philtangerine]

This is somewhat different from the original recording. If you'd like to see other lessons on this, I've posted two, one for the picking technique, and one for the chords. You can find them by searching for philtangerine blackbird.

[kkrsreeshi]

I LOVE YOU. too much? XD

[rockerduff1231]

while I appreciate your other lessons unfortunately this is wrong

[maidentr]

dude! amazing lesson. thanks so much =) x

[UltimateBuckyBoy]

Very helpful but you didn't exlplain the bridge

[CdnBacon13]

Does Marty pluck it differently through 6:20 - 6:25 ... just wondering cause I ain't too sure.

[TheNitemare21]

hahahh i laughed when he said Anil.....

[danielh645]

This is absolutely brilliant , even i could learn this and ive got one brain cell..... thank you very much marty!

[JackWitcomb]

Absolute god send....You Know What Chicks Dig.......Guys who play guitar.

[madzapee]

[123browny456]

the second part of the song is a monford and sons song but you dont hit the g string between shapes that just play it fairly fast

[Edonatar]

mate, i dunno why people talk shit about it being hard to learn... if its to hard leave and find another video... but you did only put part of the song

[pepe9531]

seriously marty, you've made this song so easy :)

thanks

[MaAveraldo]

I tottaly agree with @pepe9531 , is this a kind o magic or what? hahah

[mwright83]

This is not complete. Although you teach these parts VERY well, there are a few parts of the song that aren't taught here. :(

[marycockburn1]

sorry but thats wrong the slide up down up  down

[diarmuidwolfe96]

Thanks a million love it and u made it easy sound

[hellosummer16]

I LOVE this:) Thankyou!

[missmarsbar10]

thanks:) helped me ALOT!

[mcbrosephson]

The "walk" up part is incorrect. Just fyi.

[ASH18YEARS]

Sorry everyone, I'm just pasting this so I can remember the frets, if anyone else wants to use it feel free (L= long shape, s = short shape)

3, 1, 2s, 10L - 3L, 7s, 5L, 9s, 7s, 6L - 5L, 7s, 3L, 3s, 2s, 2,1, 3

[Wheats29]

How come when you play on the twelfth fret, you also play on the tenth? Why not just the g string? Thanks for the great video!

[ASH18YEARS]

Marty Schwartz is a legend!

[faroutlindsey]

THANK YOU! I play guitar by "ear"[ easier then playing by nose!] I picked out my version of this song at 14 right after this came out in 68...wanted to learn how it is actually played[in a Beatle book I have Paul said it started with the bass g and the open a just as you teach...Again thank you for taking the time to do this!!HEY YOU DIDN'T HAVE TOO!

[shagradish]

This rocks totally. I have always liked this piece but have never had the patience to sit down and work it out, until now. I'm a drummer with a little guitar experience and you have made this so easy to understand. Thanks so much for making a 57 year old drummer, from Kiwiland, a happy man

[johnjoshua03]
