[kyach1108]

I watch a lot of your videos so thanks for the lessons. Thanks for doing a Dave song. Been to 79 shows and counting.

[blueturp]

Love it, Marty. You are a great teacher. It's been years since I've irritated the crap out of my wife by constantly practicing my guitar. Since I found your videos, she's hating guitar more than ever.

[MrJhaymaker]

your such an inspiring teacher

[CalawayMech]

Marty thank you. I lost touch with my guitar and you have brought it back thank you.

[classyblaize]

You are seriously a great guitar teacher!

[dmbfandmbfan]

Thanks Bro

[JosiahZittel]

I am only 3 minutes into this tutorial and I just want to say that you are awesome at explaining things and showing them step by step in this lesson.

Thank you!

@guitaristdreams Dave plays "stay or leave" on a guitar strung to B. You would have to re-string your guitar to play that song. However you can put the capo on the 7th fret and it will be in B tuning. There are several instructional videos on YouTube that show you how to play it that way....Just an FYI

[filmtress]

THANK YOU SWEET HEART!! (Yes, I'm a woman).

[Mmmyess]

Excellent. I'll check out your website.

Marty, your lessons rock!....I have learned tons of blues tricks and new acoustic songs by viewing your lessons..If you have a dvd or something for sale. I would love have it.

Thanks for all your hard work making guitar easy for dummies like me to learn how to play without getting all wrapped up in the theory !!!!

[orozvik]

Can you spell out the strum in down up down up or DU DU fashion as it would help. Im struggling to follow your strum suggestion at about 2.55. thanks.

[jar2080]

[blranch8]

[Labellyy]

what if i don't have a hammer? can i still do a hammer on?

[Piten4]

@Labellyy haha u own on guitar

[GuitarPike18]

so mayer and hendrix should both lose their habit that helped turn them into stars?

[geetarman69]

who said using your thumb is the "worst habit to get into"?...... what a crock....tell that to Jimi Hendrix eh?...... to EVERY beginner out there - play it the way it is easiest for BUT not if it sounds like shit!!!!.... there is no right and wrong on the guitar - sometimes your mistakes will turn into the start of something beautiful.... and it's what ever is the most comfortable for the player!

[timbov1]

and for me its easier to use my middle finger than my thumb there is no advantage or disadvantage over either way its whatever works for the person playing

[timbov1]

its better

[timbov1]

@Progressionification if its easier than

[enjoilova58]

marty you are simply a bad ass

[bobbygrecs]

You are the best, man!!!!!!!!!!

[N8Vnate]

sweet! thanx man. Ur lessons are super-fantasticel lol. one thing though I can't get the rhythum right could you or somone post them (ie. D-D-U-D-U-D-D-U... or whatever) .

[Progressionification]

I know it's easier to use your thumb but it's one of the worst habits a guitarist can have... So please try to learn how to use your middle finger

[megamoomans]

@Progressionification jimi hendrix did it

[Saskatchewan17]

@megamoomans So does John Mayer. Both are phenomenal guitarists.

[dmcacoustic]

Can you do a video for jimi thing, so much to say or tripping billies. That would be most appreciated man. Love your vids tho

[jerrand3]

kk...I have the rythem Marty and all of the chords...but Im having an extremely hard time with barre chords...I cant do any...I know how to hold my hand and "roll" my finger...but I cant seem to get it to sound out both the high E string and the B string at the same time...in fact...I can never get the B string using a Barre chord...any insight would be great.

[jerrand3]
