[LostInTransition13]

[caddielook2]

[RohanSchumi]

[PityJam]

I play the guitar for nearly six years, but its great to play some old and easy stuff.

Marty you are the best

[SpinDoctor91]

That's the beauty of this song pretty simple to play but so beautiful at the same time. Thanks Marty!

[kevbo7s]

[refrigeratemypoo]

[10skydrive10]

I like it that if i search a song, i don't have to search for marty

[10skydrive10]

Marty how do you do the strumming pattern?

[Doughfoot]

@10skydrive10 1+2+3+4+ .... On the numbers, it's a full strum of the chord, for the ands (+'s) only hit the middle strings

[10skydrive10]

@Doughfoot

tnx

[10skydrive10]

@Doughfoot

thanks

[Melchisadec]

[TheSeaeagles08]

this guys a legend

[GabrielBouchard66]

hahah chicky chcky

[MrGioguitar]

Marty i think its great you have been putting free stuff online for guitar players. I have been playing awhile in an out of couple of bands, got a cool ass blues band now, and i go to your sights for cool ass licks that i sometimes check out even 1 hour or so before i leave then get on stage and try your licks, they always work. Thanks Marty dont change and get all corprate on us

[gamblinman9]

Hey Marty... hello from BC Canada...I'm an old guy (63) just retired and finally have time to focus on my guitar. "thank you" for 'showing me the way' I'm having a fun time with your instructional videos..and I've been careful not to play 'Stairway to Heaven' at the music shop for fear someone might ask me to play Freebird ;-) not sure if you respond to these blogs but that little thing you did at the 531 sec mark on Heart of Gold trk has been driving me nuts; octive higher dropping down neck?

[crazedzealots]

Hey Marty if I type in your name Marty on youtube and that's it you are the number one person that comes. That means you are the number 1 most searched or watched person named Marty in the world of youtube. Wow. Grats dude.

[crazedzealots]

You are awesome Marty thanks bro!

[faisalmeghrani]

dude its cool keep it up !!!!!!!!!!! :D

[devilbunny777]

I can dig!

[adrivingsong]

man this is a fantastic beginner song thanks marty ive learned so much from watching your vids dude you rock

[CohortsInRebellion]

Just curious why you don't use your ring finger for the Em sus7 because that way it's a really easy transition to the D chord. Would that be a bad habit to develop or something?

[ee281030]

It was cool 4 me

[Pasolamina]

dude you rock im from honduras



[hiflyer56]

i got the whole song but i dint get the chicky chicky part, do we have to do to up and down strokes on that or smthn else ?

[ThePolishpittbull]

Shworts, your Awsome. I've learned so much from you. Thanks.

You should post a tutorial for Young's 'Hey hey, my my'.

[GabrieloSylarGray]

Whenever I search for how to play some song on youtube & when I see that marty has it covered...man I feel so relieved lol

[jjoseirarrazaval]

i cant do the chiki chiki either

[chjustin69]

Still too hard for me, I can play the harmonica to this (im a harp player trying to learn acoustic guitar), thanks though marty, i will get it some day :P

[IBurnWater18]

how are you going chiki chiki

[MrDivomaster]

hermano garcias x las lecciones has sido un gran maestro eres grandioso muchas gracias y mis mejores deseos

[zulu2003]

Hey Marty, i have to say you are the best and make it so simple to and make me practice harder, thanks

[dougjanet86]

Hey Marty,

What guitar are you using? It sounds great!

[jdvh]

Stoned or not, Marty is a great teacher!

Thank you for sharing!

(If getting stoned is what it takes for you to teach us, I wish you plenty of great herb!)

[incredibleplum77]

Marty why are you stoned?

[01madpuppy]

I love this song. you rock :) thanks!

[bwnatural]

A timeless song of longing, passion, and hope; can't wait to learn how to play this one -- thank you Marty and thank you Neil!

[TheMrJellybabies]

very good. Nice and easy . Keep it going. Thank you

[Joesport22]

does marty blaze?

[stargazer1701A]

thanks, Marty! You are awesome

:)

[JustSoPro]

Tbh this video and most of your others are completly useless to me, im a beginer, this video teaches me nothing impeticular usefull, i already know these chords so in theory this tutorial should be very easy to follow, but it isnt you dont teach the strumming pattern very well at all, you say to do something, then do something different when playing ti yourself? You dont go into chord changes very well, and overall, this video is useless to me, so thanks a lot for wasting 6 minuets of my time.

[reneee1992]

@JustSoPro

fag

[Maax1me]

@JustSoPro Man you are not going to progress with that mentality xD You are so angry, take it easy, you are on youtube and Marty is a nice man teaching some stuff for free.

[metalheadzilla]

thanxxx dude..........................­

[OhMyMariel]

with the C chord, how do you do the "chicky chicky" haha. Would that be like a slight palm mute? I'm having trouble making it sound right.

[Mextorious]

@OhMyMariel i keep my fingers in the C shape form and relax them in order to mute the A,D, and B string. Then i slightly move my index and middle to mute the open strings.

[elanabanana1]

@OhMyMariel me too, sometimes I get it, sometimes not. I think my palms not big enough, so another angle on it may be the answer,

[briangunn21]

@OhMyMariel Hammer on the second fret A string, open D string, second fret D string ( three notes)

[TriptoMoon]

@OhMyMariel slightly lift the fret fingers to mute the strings...



[OhMyMariel]

@TriptoMoon I realized that it's been a while since I've attempted to play this song, but your comment reminded me of it! :D thank you!

[Stevonater5]

My god he loves dope



[megatampert]

give me half a gram of what you're smoking pls.

[73ford250]

dude he was stoned to the bajesus that morning listening to the radio and heart of gold came on and he had a completely religous life changing experience goose bumps and all and decide to teach the song lol

[jimihendrixandsrv]

This sucks!

[MrGuitarjourney]

You Rock Marty! I have only been playing for a few months now and you keeping it simple is really helping me out. Your videos are the best man!! This is another one of yours I can play. I'm flipping out dude!

[Franziska28vm]

Thanks Marty!!!!! You are the best teacher I think.

[gibsg62]

lol @ 3 :38  dude....

[Laurius67]

Thumbs up for marty official guitar teacher!

[Laurius67]

[T3K1000]

i love you marty swartz (no homo)

[dancigqueen1994]

you're the best guitar teacher on youtube, thats for sure.

everytime i try to learn a song and the others on youtube cant help me out, i just watch one of your videos and then it works.

thanks a lot! :)

[dayna57]

@dancigqueen1994 Yes, I agree Marty. You are tha' Bomb!

[kfudanapaa]

Hey thanks for this one man, this is the first full song I've learned now

[matildagabriel]

great lesson. thanks marty!



[alexius122]

hey nice!!

check my original songs please!

[monguanie]

Great lesson! The second song I'm learning from you. I second miccosukee1's question - how do you get that clean "chicki chicki" sound on the C chord? I get that you're muting the strings, but I do that and it sounds like junk.  Any specific technique you can recommend?

[BlazedRae420]

the conclusion was the best...the blank stare

[ryanlivermore]

there are 8 stumks of em7 in the beggining it sounds way better

[CityVilleCheatGuide]

This is a great video

[SkoolOfRock123]

Hi Marty,

Greetings from the Netherlands.

Me (47!) and my two sons (10 & 12) started taking guitar lessons 1,5 years ago and this is really a nice song to practice.

The way you explain it is great and makes it for them (and me...) easy to practice.

Thank you so much!

[Juggalo5588]

hey, What do you do when you cant remember guitar chords? thats a problem i have, you do a good job, But could you maybe Give a close up of your hands, See i cant remember chord names, i just remember the spots for your fingers to go. It makes it very hard to remember songs. But anyways, i was just curious. Thanks man!

[1Sh4d0W]

Hey guys, Hey Marty, thanks for the lesson btw :).. I have one question, can you guys help me? I can't do the chicki chicki thing, i strum C chord twice and then as i read in comments i mute all the string with my wrist, but i dont know which strings to strum then, to do the chicki chicki sound.. Thanks for answer in advance :)

[bradlom80]

thanks marty!!

[winokur89]

[fiddle3122]

[winokur89]

@fiddle3122

[aaronbelko]

@winokur89 Blahaha, he so does...

[NorthPolean]

@winokur89 What's wrong with that?

[winokur89]

@NorthPolean

nothing. did i hint anything was wrong with it? fuck off

[NorthPolean]

@winokur89 Hey man you're lucky... 'cause you can kiss my ass and I can't.

[winokur89]

@NorthPolean

that was so stupid i don't even know how to respond except by telling you how stupid that comment was.

so for redundancy's sake, that was a very stupid comment. 

[NorthPolean]

@winokur89 I think you just couldn't think of something better to come back with so you're repeatedly using the word stupid.. Nice one genius...

[winokur89]

@NorthPolean

who are you and why should i care?

[Edimar15bahia]

[chibicherry3]

[xscythex]

[KiKsAnA666]

Marty, I think that you can play the intro 6 times. That's my guitar teacher told me :) .

[miccosukee1]

how are you doing the chicki chicki on the C chord? I can't seem to create that sound. Are you muting some strings?

[MrBigE100]

@miccosukee1 hes muting all of the strings

[josiechas]

After 2 1/2 weeks of practicing- I can now play it

pretty well---Thanks Marty
