[MrBigbossj14]

are you using an effect pedal somewhere in this vid?

[SPIELSWHEELS]

Marty...more ACDC tips & songs please!!

[tonyamichael]

Great video! Youve taught me a lot!

[wowdezare]

is there a way to be able to tell what the third is in every chord? i know the root is the lowest note but how do you know the third and fifth.

[Mezik88]

@wowdezare just count up four half steps. For instance a C. C to C#, C# to D, D to D# then D# to E. That will give you the major third, if you want a minor chord then only count up three half-steps. To get the fifth, then go up seven half-steps... starting from E we already know that from C to E is four half-steps, now go up only three more half-steps from the E. Hope that helps!

[wowdezare]

@Mezik88

hey thankings alot actually. i started looking at some musical theory lessons online and on youtube and this does help. i know what a third is now! and ima keep learning some more.

[Mezik88]

@wowdezare haha awesome! keep at it and youll be a great composer. If you have any other questions feel free to ask, Im taking music as a minor in college so I know some stuff... just as long as it isnt really advanced theory haha

[jimsim1001]

hi marty

[newman015]

Marty,

If you recorded a few of your own songs I would instantly buy them, you've been practically my greatest inspiration and best teachers of the ways of guitar.

You could have the potential of having a huge music following now that your youtube channel is a success!!

If you ever do a tour. Come to England!!! =D

[Flo3256]

Hey Marty! :D

Can you make a lesson from this song?

Status Quo - Whatever You Want

Please!!!

[SuperRockingMrMagic]

this still sounds horrible on my OD, i got a peavey vypyr 15 amp, but i think it's a bit crappy, i might get something better

[Guitarlover032]

sir plzz say me tht....gibson iz better or fender or yamaha!?

[MrJudgeSauter]

@Guitarlover032

depends on what you want to play. there is no "better", just a suitable.

Just read something about guitar-pickups and then decide wether a singlecoil or a humbucker pleases your style.

[Guitarlover032]

@MrJudgeSauter thnx!

[TheFunnyBanana]

Even before the internet.....back when dinosaurs ruled the land. lol

[TheJoshuaZone]

Best lessons on youtube regarding guitar.

[nyjeterss]

wouldnt the Emajor, just become a E minor??

[adamoxx1]

@nyjeterss I am not at all a guitar expert but from what he said I guess that there are three options regarding this G string in E chord:

- with the G string pressed down

- with open G string

- with muted G string.

You get the powerchord when you mute the G string in this case.

[TheRockNinja1]

lol i went to the livingroom to check my iphone for a message, but it was yours :P

[Yadameeaann]

pink panther theme pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease

[1000chief]

what guitar is that ? is it some kind of special custom SG ??? its freaking awsome !

[flashpadxxx]

@1000chief i think its a standard sg.he just puts another pickuard on it..

[JL2996]

Marty, what model is your SG? I would really like to know. Thanks! :D Great vid, BTW

[graysongerni]

it said ACDC at the top, and i havnt watched this yet. but im gonna assume its all about A E and D chords and maybe G

[HLGxFataIity]

thumbs up if you want Marty to give another guitar away!

[deelberg]

@HLGxFataIity Yeah but give one away with 24 frets at least!!!!!!!!!!

[jamesere2k10]

@HLGxFataIity

ANOTHER guitar? He's given one away before?

[SuperSurfinggirl]

[waabooz08]

[Yadameeaann]

i was wondering if you could do the 007 theme song. Or the Pink Panther theme song pleease

[drthscion]

What pedals were you using?

[Adamisarocker09]

@drthscion marty only uses a Line6 M9 multi effects pedal/stompbox

[guitarjamzdotcom]

@Adamisarocker09 actually, for gain, I use an ibenez tube screamer. I use the line 6 m9 for most effects but the tubescreamer for over drive. thx

marty

[BradmanIII]

can u do a lesson on the intro to "you shook me all night long" by acdc?

[MattyPS]

7:22 haha I liked it ^^

[nyjeterss]

it has more of a bite, awesome

[dwadeismvp3]

what kind of amp and/or sound are you using?

[NBManRus]

wow! new sg? my congratulations!

[canasfam]

so how do you solo or a pwr chord progression do you use major or minor scale

[tcinpa37]

@canasfam Either can work. 5 chords, or power chords, are a "neutral" chord, since the 5th in most minor scales and the major scales is the same. For rock or metal, you'd most likely go with a minor, darker scale, or minor pentatonic, but if you know how to use the major pentatonic right, or want to change the "mood" of the song, major pentatonic or certain major scales will work. The intro to Tuesday's Gone by Skynyrd is an example of using an A Major scale to sound less "uppitty". Experiment.

[lookylooky2006]

I like to think of it as taking the "sweetness" out of the chord when you eliminate the 3rd

thanks marty

[Mig21LanceRX]

you costumize you're old SG or you buy a new one ?

[riffingt0n]

super helpful - I learned to play Back in Black with open chords and I knew it was wrong but playing E5 as 022xxx sounded more wrong. Now I know why!

[UnstoppableChaos]

Wow did u just recieve an email 4rm Monday Night Raws General Manager?

that amp sounds fantastic
