[NerdRageSC]

Can you do Norgaard by the Vaccines?

[girloverytf360]

plz plz plz do flavor of the week by american hi-fi

[Completely1337]

Yay for paper towel masks xD

[ChargerBullet]

It just dawned on me why you have the mask on...

[HuwKnox2011]

@ChargerBullet what is it idk what it is for?

[ChargerBullet]

@HuwKnox2011 Michael Jackson used to wear a surgical mask like that when out in public for a number of years.

[TheAlvin777]

Thanx a lot. Finally I've learned how to play Beat It right. Thanx a lot!!!!! ;)

[rf2372]

Series of questions:

I just started playing not even a week ago but have been playing violin for 3 years so plucking with my fingers is more comfortable then with a pick. Would using my finger make things harder in the long run?

Also power chords-again do to violin-are an unusual fingering anyway to make them easier

[ukwildkatz]

off topic question but i have been playing acoustic guitar for a while and i just got an elctric and can i use a regular acoustic capo on an elctric guitar? it sounds good but does it damage the guitar?

[Bloe007]

hi what pedal have you for this song ?? thx

[GuitarMag1]

i would love to meet this guy and show him how much i have learnt from him AMAZING!!!!!!!!

[rf2372]

@GuitarMag1 why dont you make a video response to one of his videos?

[fuschnickens1]

good guitar teacher Marty Schwartz . very good

[dayne1ful]

this is played wrong way wrong man

[Ricscott]

@dayne1ful its not WAY wrong is it? way wrong is a bit of an exaggeration mr expert!

[dayne1ful]

@Ricscott i guess but if you really wanna play it write and not look like an idiot than find a better tutorial

[BodyGuardTeddy]

i just became the best black filipino in the world haha i aint eveen know how toplat a g chord and i learned this is 5 mins lehhhh goooo haha

[txwhore]

he is islam

[flybama]

@txwhore Well, he IS the Allah of instructors on youtube!!!!!!!

[3040junior]

why do u have that in your mouth

]

[flybama]

@3040junior I bust out laughing when this video started - Marty being Marty. Don't know if Jackson was a germaphobe or not (think he was), but he was often seen wearing various masks over his nose and mouth.

[girloverytf360]

marty. I LOVE U(X

[TVDiaries07]

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH MY GUITAR?? I'm sure its tuned but it sounds weiiirdd.

[joshlenihan2k11]

When your playing the power chords your off by a tone , u say ur playin on the tenth fret but ur actually playing on the twelfth fret.good video though!!!

[HaloXIIII]

@joshlenihan2k11 its a power chord? isnt his 1st finger on the 10th?

[Sogworld]

why is he wearing that on his face

[TheMiike83]

thanks marty...cheers mate...merry christmas and have a safe new year :D

[meshahasssan]

i cant move my fingers fast enough!! its so frustrating,everytime i try to play a quicker,i mess up.

[TheJackWoodruffe]

@meshahasssan same with me man haha

[MrBassoonist1]

lame, right after learning this i tried to play it to michael jackson and this is completely the wrong key.

[TheOsmPosm]

I have NO IDEA what a power chord is. Dx

[babyj12beast]

@TheOsmPosm A power chord is basicly one hand posture thats moving all over the fretboard

[MrWywy222]

Your a pro

[tteezzrreell]

does anyone know the amp presets he has?

[Fenny3076]

Marty is the man

[ZeroXF5]

when are you gonna teach the solo o_O

[boleynali]

you don,t have to hide you face..it ain,t that bad.

[droy333]

viva paper towel!

[dionyshs007]

a friend told me that playing the guitar,sometimes causes cuts (finger) and it hurts a lot ...is it true?

[rabidbunnies4u]

@dionyshs007 yes this is true,im not sure if they are exactly cuts because i have never bled from one.

they are called finger calluses,caused when playing guitar and they harden up when you fingers get used to it :)

[ZeroXF5]

@dionyshs007 it doesn't really cut but rather the blood builds up to the tip and it looks like its bleeding, and yes it does hurt a lot if the callus is still building up

[iRockYouNo0b]

Amazing

[sungitpremi]

Great tutorial!

For super beginners (String, Fret) (6, 0) means lowest E Open

E (6,0) G (6,3) A (5,0) G (3,0) E (4,2) F# (4,4) E (4,2) D (4,0) D (4,0)

Basically, you are playing 4 out of 8 notes on open strings if that makes it easier.

[LostExess]

@sungitpremi super helpful! thanks alot!

[bustaclown89]

your suppose to use the napkin, not wear it lol. GREAT VIDEO BTW!

[noah4878]

Marty y is therea napkin on ur face?.....

[3chopsticks3]

R.I.P MJ , the man who killed him is now being prosecuted ! his own doctor....

[GHPro10]

@3chopsticks3 I know

[craigrboy7]

[Ace0fDe4th]

[1295ication]

I dont understand why you have toilet paper on ur mouth.  i mean maybe it would work for the song smooth criminal but not beat it.

[nelson950211]

it's easy but sounds hard ~ nice

[mamarsudu40]

Merci ça ma permis de progresser dans la musique et en plus je connais un nouveau morceaux :D merci

[emoanimegirl041]

probably a dumb question but how to u get your guitar to sound like that

[killthat82]

@emoanimegirl041 on your amp turn your booster button on and mess with the gain :)

[ItsJossh]

Doing that slide after the powerchords and feeling like a boss

[hothot123lookatme]

[VRCRVC]

From what fret to waht fret is that slide you do before the power chords and after them?

[xXDeathsCurfewXx]

@VRCRVC You slide from 7 to 9 on the A string

[JosueDD123]

Solo?

[MateoProductios]

Why do you play an a note instead of b on e string? ups, Wrong!

[95350seagod]

GUYZ DID YOU NOT SEE THE NAPKIN ON HIS FACE AT THE VERY START OF THE VID!? STOP BEING RETARDS AND SAYING O IS THAT NAPKIN ON YOUR FACE AT 0.46?? HAHA DEUCH BAGS

[FatManScoop1100]

[diya45]

thank you for this !! know i know how to play the it , but i want to know how you make the sound at the end when you slide your fingers over the frets ?

[QuinnusMan]

Wrong Way Douche Bag!

[nathan3cns]

i'm sorry, but you're mistaken... on the E string, it's not open 3 then 5, it's open 3 then 7. easier way to play it is open 3 then 2 on the A string.

[QuinnusMan]

@nathan3cns Yes your right, Btw Whats with the paper towel around this guy?

[samoanboy1111]

ahaha. a terroist with a paper towel !

[lilomar13563]

Wut tuning is this? Eb or standard

[sonoroustripleh]

Hey Marty quick question is Beat It in Eb tuning or standard?

[xlrrockmusic]

omg toilet paper

[IdontWantGmail]

@xlrrockmusic It isn't ''toilet'', but it is paper

[xlrrockmusic]

@IdontWantGmail clean your eyes fag look closer its a toilet paper

[IdontWantGmail]

@xlrrockmusic It isn't, it's paper towel

[DragonforceFan1024]

easier way to do it would be

open E

E-3

open A

D-5

D-2

D- 2-4 slide

D-2

open D twice
