Hi Marty, I live in Argentina and I'm learning to play guitar thanks to you! I have 35 years and I started very recently, your explanations are excellent. thank you very much
I really thought you were going to say something interesting when you said you wanted to talk about the video. You hardly make a point! Thanks for tutorial by the way!
Goin' back to Aus for Xmas tomorrow so I'll be saying goodbye to my guitar for 3 weeks. That'll be 1 year that I've been practicing guitar and thanks to you I know about15 tunes.
I know it's early but Merry Christmas Marty. Thanks for making learning guitar easy and FUN!!!
@slayindemdragons sucks to be you i got mines for my bday present from a friend that has 2 of them =p maybe santa will get you one for xmas or some holliday....
Marty I think it would help if you sang the song with the music ur playing to completion to give the student a complet idea of the song. Do a full song version at the end.
Love watching your videos. You actually taught me this song and if you go to MY youtube page you can see me playing it on stage with a band! Thank you
he is a very skilled guitar player. thumbs up if you think so. :) i think my friend is amazing too. i could try sometime to videotape her. but shell probably catch me and chase me down untill i delete the video. so idk how thatll work.
marty thank you very very much im only 13 and just starting to play and your songs have helped me so much and my dad plays guitar self tought from when he was my age but he broke his thumb in football when he was in high school so he cant play as good any more so i realy am thankful to what you do
I don't think the roadies were helping them off the stage cuz they were supposedly wasted. I think it was meant for the viewer to believe that they needed help getting offstage cuz they had just given all their heart and soul and energy to the crowd and COULDN'T walk off the stage. But in actuality it probably was cuz they were just plain wasted. lol
Don't wanna say your not skilled or anything but it looked like you really were looking for an easy way out this time... The first chord is a F# major
Marty, thank you for all that you do, and making it fun along the way. Guitar is one of those frustrating things to try to learn, but you make it fun, keep the lessons interesting, and do it without staring at chord books for hours on end. Thanks again!
OK... made the fist.. went to knock on the guitar.. but purely by accident gave my ex mother-in-law a roundhouse that would make George Foreman drop his Cheeseburger.. Thanks Marty! Been waiting for 31 years to do that!
Yess very very advance technique only masters can hear the simple tune it makes. Im dead serious. The knock vibrates the strings in such a way that only a finely tuned ear can hear its sound
your all right dude . you helping me a lot. I just started and at leas you make it fun and not so dry. If I ever hear the song Tom Dooly again it will to soon.. that C to D change is still kicking my ass
great lesson,im starting to learn this song pretty good on guitar i just need some finishing touches.this was a great and interesting lesson.the every rose has its thorn video was great,it really fit the song and the era.its a very memorable video.
hi marty! I grew up in the 80´s and i absolutely agree with you: those 80´s glam rock bands just SUCK hahahahah but I love power ballads thou, so had to nail down this one, thanks a lot for the lesson. btw bring up the solo!
he sounded so serious in that first minute and a half
