[aueharabitch]

@lonewolf1234512345 LOLOLOL yea sooo baked, we will destroy you

[Rorix9]

does he not say @ 2:39 "middle finger 8th fret, on G string"...but it seems he is on the B string. Am I wrong?

[nairbasirrah]

It was so weird...just before this vid...I was watching another Marty vid where he was covering "Don't Let Me Down" by the Beatles as an instrumental...and it was eerie, even freaky, how you can hear "Don't Let Me Down" when he does the bend lick in this vid. Re-watch and listen close. I can't help wondering if Marty heard it too.

[sacramkings100]

nice

[Skittles1ful]

You make it look so easy!!!!

[colossus4764]

@sharkboy: YOU ARE RIGHT! LET THE BROTHA PLAY!

Thanks, Marty, for sharing so many things. You have really helped me in my guitar playing. Your teaching style is clear, to the point, easy to follow, and very instructional. As a lifetime teacher, you are very gifted as an instructor. Thanks, Doc

[DESERTKIRKS]

[KellyTmusically]

more good stuff from the man, more than guitar to this man and all good

[franklinmercedes]

Marty. i have never been able to express myself with music. i picked up guitar 9 months ago and i have never taken a lesson before. i only watch your videos and now i can play and express myself freely by playing blues. thanks dude for having these videos.

[elliotjmiller]

keep clicking on the 41 second point while the video is playing.

cant keep his mind off the ganja ;)

[vinniedurrant]

@elliotjmiller lol u nutter

[THErednekBoy]

you show off alot... vote up if you agree!

[thenetslug]

@THErednekBoy he is just showing how what he is teaching can be applied to. those licks he plays that doesnt explain are actually than you think.

[muffeCx]

@THErednekBoy He's a techer. hHe's suppose to show the student what to learn to give him/her some encouragement along the way ..

[nightterrors100]

@THErednekBoy douchebagg

[HighElfTyrion]

pause at 0:41 :p haha

[gonzaarock10]

great! Now look at the latest version of canon rock! that is in my chann...

[sam91004]

I usually can learn the things you want to teach but what i cannot do is the other things you do whilst showing the lick your teaching, you know all that cool blues stuff around the licks which you do not explain. Also, your'e plucking the string really fast, and I just don't know how you do that. I've practiced but it's not even near you speed. Do you have a tip or some technique to play the licks faster so it sounds better?

Thanks for the video. Highest quality, as usual!

[rythmicSLAVE]

u should open an school man...thx god bless frm mauritius

[lingisking]

marty your licks are orgasmic!!!

[MrBasketballplaya18]

yeah your fose is vary high lol

[adri6000100]

could you teach the licks your doing with the double string pick trick, i'm trying to learn how to do that type stuff but you move so fast i can't figure it out :/

[brotherdoug63]

Marty you are the guitar king baby. You rock

[mikeetek001]

Ask not what Marty Schwartz can do for you, but what you can do for Schwartz!!

[SongHooks1993]

@mikeetek001 u have the username of the dude my ex cheated on me with therefore i give u a thumbs down

[piopob]

I feel like Marty has the blues in this video. It makes his blues taste so sweet. Feed me your blues flavored tears Marty. They make me powerful!

[fguka]

marty dude you look and sound so stoned. you're so awesome tho

[SuperJAMESZILLA]

marty you fucking legend

[surj93]

Marty you are stoned lol but your videos are great lol

[WTFjasmine]

this guy is a total piece of shit, goes to my channel to comment "fat" on it i don't know him at all or ever talked to him. then he expects to get liked on youtube and people look up to this dude? ya he won't make it anywhere.

[sk8pirate44]

@WTFjasmine in his defense you are a little bit on the heavy side

[WTFjasmine]

@sk8pirate44

[Amylouthomas]

[latermayn3]

@Amylouthomas not everyone LOVES.

dumbass.

some people are born without emotion,

or they have only extreme emotion

so dont say all when it doesnt apply to all.

thanks.

[latermayn3]

@latermayn3 didnt mean to call you a dumbass..sorry

[WTFjasmine]

@Amylouthomas

yea i understood the joke. i didn't really take any offense to it, i just took it as a smartass comment. but ya i get the human part but the whole love part is kinda dumb but whatever opinions are opinions.

[mutt1771]

@WTFjasmine maybe he meant "phat" like "That's really cool."

[WTFjasmine]

@mutt1771

haha don't think so..

[dooshbaggervance]

[headstock48]

Alright Let's Do It!

[bozyip]

Hi. I've been fronting Blues and Rock bands in Australia and the UK for more than 40 years now, lead vocals, plus blues harps, sax, and hammond organ, and guitar, but my guitar work has only ever been as a rhythm player and a bit of picking.

I've never really been interested in playing lead as such, and not even attempted it, as I've always had more than enough to keep me in trouble lol.

Anyway, I decided to have a go at it, and discovered Marty a few weeks back.

Mate, you are the man !!!!!

[lionzdin]

Marty is the time capsule that will take your playing to the next level and beyond. He rekindled my interest in playing, after many years stuck at a plateau.. so THANKS BRO ... by far the best TEACHER (professor more like it) for any level guitarist, and sharing his skills so freely, kindly and made simple?!.. like a cheat sheet to styles/playing that otherwise would only be realized with years of listening, practicing and having a good ear to figure it out.. MANY THANKS! love this dude

[DukeMrcha]

great stuff! cheers and rock on from Serbia!:)

[MrHeadley55]

the root? is everything tied to it prob. a dumb Q i know bocou chords but zip scale wise watched your vids 3,4,5,times see imp. everytime i pic the damn thing up Im playin more I guess i am startin to understand the concept more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS

[ownage88r]

[alvabailey]

[soundmethod]

Are you tuning down a half step for these licks? I am a beginner,

[Patriciolous]

@soundmethod Nah, he would tell us, he is REALLY good about that.

[TheBluesBeggar]

You have such style... to play blues you've got to have STYLE...

But you are also a great teacher, keeping it clear. Stuff like this I want in my Blues deck-o-cards to draw from.

I really think your stuff is rocking... in a blues way of course- The Blues Beggar

[masoudnima]

/watch?v=x2avTqyqaTs

[lookylooky2006]

So if you go to the C# which is part of the E family ( E mgr pent) but want to stay mostly as the E mn pent then it seems like you stay away from the blues note right after "Straying" out to the C# for example

any theory people out there?

[jaymo1812]

[Legend7able]

[LONGhairNOcare]

[TheEnigma7111]

[trailblazer225]

If Hendrix played acoustic, this would be what he played.

[azathoth81]

Very Nice

[DevilDriver343]

I always go to marty for my blues tip needs!

[DandJ420]

thanks that helped a lot. I was not really able to pick up on everything you said but I sure got a kick ass blues jam out of it

[soundman420]

Woah man,your videos have inspired me to bust out the old dusty acoustic I stopped playing and start jamming again. I want to be able to play like this. Thank you for the inspiration!

[amnodeidyet]

Marty the hypnotic bluesman rules! Cheers!

[snoops4226]

Nobody better!! Keep it up Marty!

[djibril1000]

This sounds like it could be the scales and type of thing Jimi Hendrix used with Red House!!!

[mgmityu]

Marty Schwartz for president! :)

[zebsmith112291]

@mgmityu hell yea man!

[frknpwn]

@mgmityu marty for crackhead

[bluetrain69]

Marty, the youtube blues king...thank you so much! you are amazing!

[rokkoshamy22]

Martie you don't know how am i thankful, you are just DA BEST TEACHER EVA!!!!!

[darinrios]

haha dude you are freakin good. i appreciate these videos man.

[ajworky]

I wouldnt worry about rastamaniaks wise words - he's so good that hes got a youtube account but hasn't posted any videos of himself playing - in a way that tells me how good he really is.. :-)

[rastamaniakTHC]

hahaha i know different ppls learn faster or slower hahaha ;]

[rastamaniakTHC]

i play about a year and i play it all after an hour.... maybe ur just stupid?

[candyman5749]

I just bought a Takamine G Series guitar. I have a few questions about music. If I want to practice guitar while playing along with another song in the background, how can I find out what scale they are playing in? And how can I find out what chords go-along with those scales?

[wolf69a]

Kind of hard to answer in this space, the secret is practice a lot

[LaCurandero]

it's not how long you've been practicing that matters, it's what you practice. you can teach yourself, but you'll progress sooo much faster following someone elses instruction.

[chancafer]

If your refering to that opening crazy awesomeness, I think he just does that to show you what you have to look forward to. Keep in mind he has a lot of experience, but like all of us he earned every bit of his skill through time and practice.

[Saintofthereborn]

Man i wanna know how he does That SWEET blues thing when he teaches blue's lessons.

[wellyeahman85]

Im 24 and i get a mid sized fender when i was 7 and been playing ever since! Thats how long it takes!

[rastamaniakTHC]

sooooooooo slow ur then

[mrterminal31]

i been playing 4 15 yrs, but can't match that, keep picking

[FadBamsen11]

Practice atleast 1 hour a day. (And playing random songs isn't praticing). Do scales. Do speed exercises, do precision exercises ect.

Dont give up ;)

[lifeordeath3288]

i felt the same way until just recently. i dont know how to read music or anything but i just use people like marty to learn songs. and i am really starting to get pretty good and actually get clarity. it just takes time..... a lot of time.

[almostkhmer]

hey dude please the second part of black magic women

[ronemahone]

GOOD MAN! THANKS!

[widespreadchris]

High Marty, I wanted to point out how generous you are to share your abundance of knowledge with all of us strangers! Thanks for being my guitar teacher that I have never met or even had a conversation with. I am so jealous of the lucky bastards called "students" that you sometimes share with us, thanks for letting us take a peek guys.

[BigRickBitch]

4:12

[seesamfall]
