[bluegrasssingingman]

Marty you don't know how to pick bluegrass. So do us a favor and shut the hell up.

[Peterbilt600Cummins]

This ain't bluegrass, the hand position is all wrong, the drive and attack is all wrong, and the guitar is too tinny sounding. If you want to see what real Bluegrass rhythm guitar is all about go watch Red Smiley. It's all there. And xtramile09 , your shitty attitude isn't helping beginning musicians who will be misled by this crap.

[xtramile09]

no offence to any real down south good ole boys on that comment its not my fault you guys have fucked up stereo types lol

[xtramile09]

man these people hating on marty must really know what this down south bluegrass shits all about they must have done their home work and shit too must have gone down to Georgia done some noodling chewed some Skoal drank some shine and took home them slutty drunk chicks at their family reunions lmao get a life assholes and make your own videos and show us what fuckin your first cousin is all about

[Famouschase20]

A completely ingnorant and foolish lesson. Dude, you shouldn't try to teach things that you can't do or even understand. It is idiots like this guy that give bluegrass such bad stereotypes. If anyone out there really wants to see bluegrass rhythm, search for "Dan Tyminski & Ron Block Teaching Bluegrass Soloing Part 1"

[DanpachiSama]

@Famouschase20  ha ha ha, right? this guy. what a dunce.

[Famouschase20]

@DanpachiSama I know, it would be nice if he would pulll this video from Youtube. It is only making him look bad.

[yankeesnmbr5]

You obviously havn't listened to much bluegrass guitar. Your rhythm is awful. It's a shame people like you lead people the wrong way in playing guitar. Stop dumbing down the rhythm.

[DennisLottig]

@yankeesnmbr5 um its his style, music is all about interpretation, get off of his dick xD

[harleyboxer40]

Threw up in your mouth?? I smell jealously!!! Haha

[volneybanjo]

This guy's got it ALL WRONG!!! At least he admits he's at the fringe of his knowledge. For the love of baby Jesus, do NOT show up at a bluegrass jam playing guitar like this!! I just threw up in my mouth a little.

[SanDiegoJefe]

@volneybanjo Dude, it's called having fun. You threw up because you eat pieces of shit for breakfast. Lighten up shooter!

[alanyoung2]

@volneybanjo He sure ain't no Tony Rice is he?

[sharkbait429]

@volneybanjo why u gotta hate brother marty is the shit

[cgaffney96]

THIS GUY IS GOD <3

[XhockeyfightX]

May the Schwartz be with you!

[TheGta4you]

I just wanna know the name of the guy who keep talking behind the camera !!

[jsolochek1966]

I am playing guitar today and I just started 2 days ago. I learned with 2DAYGUITARCOURSE(DOT)INFO. It was very easy to understand.

[Charly08600]

"Ain't it a shame to have a drink on a Sunday? Ain't it a shame?"

Cool lesson. Thanks, Marty. :)

[drapesmatchrug]

wish i was on ol' rocky top!

[Fatboy8429]

Thanks for explaining the tag.

[jcleve301]

Is this song in the key of G? (G-C-D, I-IV-V?) but your little breakdown looked like a E penatonic? you've taught me everything I know Marty, can't thank you enough

[qwertyuiop46853]

@jcleve301 G major and E minor are relative keys. A G major scale has the same notes as an E minor scale.

[MsSmokieRose]

Good stuff.

[truelovelon]

Awesome! :)



[EverTommy]

fuckin americans

[blubberbooty]

If I had a son with the last name Shorts, I would have named him JIm. Not Marty.

Get it? Jim Shorts! Get it? Hugh do ya get it? Jim Shorts. LOL! I crack me up sometimes!

[Jinxedwithme]

@blubberbooty i don't get it.. but his name is mary schwartz

[JoeythePope]

@blubberbooty Lol, that's Schwarts, not Shorts. Kinda sounds like Shorts though!

[darmp64]

[gordoneduardo]

This video has my fingers bleeding again.  Thanks Marty.

[JVsoloman5000]

i think this is the first time ive seen marty not say HEY GUYS WHATS UP ITS MARTY SWARTCHZ HERE!!!!!! now hes all depressed

[weenie1112]

Get your hand out from in front of the soundhole. You should be 2/3 of the way from the bridge to the soundhole to have proper drive and attack. By the way, Bluegrass isn't Bluegrass without Martin Guitar.

[Peterbilt600Cummins]

Exactly, well said. I don't know what this crap is but it ain't bluegrass.

[jster19591]

THAT STRUM TECHNICIS A LITTLE TOUGH .BUT MABE I'LL GET IT WITH A FEW MORE LESSONS.THANKS AGAIN MARTY. HEY WHATS YOUR BUDDY ANDY UP TO ? SEND MORE VID

[gageman70]

i swear to god marty is like the jack of all trades, except instead of trades its music genres, and instead of being a jack he's an ace. i've learned how to play bluegrass, blues, reggae, country, funk....just about everything from this guy. youdaman.

[HOMEnHIGH]

[siemniak]

[MtPr36]

[mivy2007]

Thanks Marty, You are a really great teacher!



[rpby82]

[MTAYLOR2468]

[predicto544]

i smell jealousy when people dislike..:p

[rbrggs]

Thanks so much!!! Very helpful

[killyan007]

nah, this guy is definitely 'La Bamba' from Late Night with Conan

[theegg89]

the later part after the traditional G lick, you don't really wanna share it do ya :(

[jedidiah357]

You have an excellent intuition for how people learn. These videos are immediately helpful; a very crisp and clear teaching process.

[waterboy5919]

Just a tip from guitar player to guitar...Just to give a more bluegrass sound,on your G scale try -320033,it gives G alot of meat compared to the standard G scale

[zakipeniti]

thanks really enjoyed...

[TheMikky2010]

hi marty . could you pls do a favor by teach us how to play the song 'canon'

[Uuuurk]

whats the diffrence between a regular and a bluegrass guitar?

[MadDogMolenaar]

@Uuuurk there isn't, he just means the genre of bluegrass

[Peterbilt600Cummins]

All the difference in the world. That's the problem here, these dipshits don't know the difference.

[MegaRedneck1994]

where do you get your hats? those are badass man

[MegaRedneck1994]

where do you get your hats?

[JyherC]

you forgot jazz! :D

[PsychobillyCreeper]

first intro bit sounds an awful lot like blue moon of kentucky to me!

[romekdo77]

is your guitar plugged into that fender deluxe?

[deepnightmare16]

hes staring into your soul.

[mrbillhicks]

King Tutt

[vidy666]

david blaine

[jimmythefish]

I don't know what you're teaching here but it's not bluegrass.

[lastwave235]

@jimmythefish i think its more about the rhythm. you thought he was going to do some banjo pickin.

this is a beginner video.

[marcoam12345678910]

@jimmythefish oh gawd if ure so pro then wtf are u doing watching these, amigo??

[hockeyislife1988]

lol why is the amp on in the background ?

[3bo0odpala]

nice hat

[mountainworx]

This is a great video, helped me a lot!

[hupandi]

i am the best guitarist in the village Martin. You made it possible. Thanks so much. If i keep practicing like this I think i can make it to your studio one day and then to the billboard charts. thanks again buddy

[RobIacullo]

Jon Lovitz from SNL! Yeah, that's the ticket.

[arhcota05]

Wow! Rodney Slitz that was a very helpful video. I will be ale to implement this into the show. Since I started watching your videos, I'm on my way up. Thanks so much man.

[bandyman12]

trying to teach basic bluegrass while playing a Taylor, that's a sin.

[RovertJify]

@bandyman12

Dan Crary and Steve Kaufman have both been caught playing Taylors. Don't be a troll.

[bigpapanoodle]

Marty!!!! My man!! You are stokinnngggggg baby.

[the48to]

thank you so much, you´re awesome dude!

[jmoss214]

more like a thick kidd rock!

[djhumboldt]

total jon lovitz!!! but way cooler! awesome info! thanks a lot!

[BarbaraJaneP]

too many up strokes for bluegrass. 

[PS3NitroLambo]

i fucking suck at guitar so much...when i was little i could make good sounds come out but when i got older....its impossible FML

[mk3900]

I am sure that what you are doing here is helpful to some people, but you are not playing or teaching bluegrass, FYI. Your strumming is so wrong and I doubt you have listened to any Bluegrass guitar.

[deepu444able]

nice job man i like it

[motimenow]

Appreciate the lesson Marty thanks and keep going!

[SalokinX]

@toonzz5215 lmao you're actually spammed..

[Berlusfan]

HOW DARE YOU to play a Taylor GS or other acoustic guitar into a fender deluxe reverb or any electric guitar amp!! You are a monster!!

[shwadinger]

@Berlusfan YES

[roger3644]

Good For Sure !!!

[slantyrock]

this guy reminds me of jon lovitz, from city slickers 2.

[superfudge322]

@slantyrock i love city slickers!!!

[TBagginDragon84]

@slantyrock he reminds me of the fat guy from super bad and get him to the greek XD

[Slatrelle]

@slantyrock its like john lovitz and kid rock meshed together

[TheBriguy31]

i have a stumming question that I haven't seen addressed anywhere. it's a fast stum thing going on such as in the song big city dreams--right before the chorus. help please?

[XXNIRVANAXX1000]

he looks to dang serious lol but great teacher

[kara6te]

Marty is an excellent instructor, easy to follow. Thanks for teaching me so much.

[AroundThePony]

Marty you`re awesome

[ikpiklulpoep]

yes anndlie 

[greendayrockish55]

you should be the damn president

[sabyshanks]

hes really good and a guitarist whom i admire!

[3135jake]

sorry man, but that sounds nothing like traditional bluegrass. stick with your blues,rock, and funk. 

[ElMulligano]

Stick with the blues man, sounds nothing like bluegrass guitar.

[riznsun1]

How did you get that political add attached to this video? Not appreciated. I come to you tube to escape from that jazz.

[dbspaceoditty]

@riznsun1 you sir are an idiot. google puts those adds in popular videos

[BitchBeTrollinHard]

@riznsun1 must be your location cause i have adds about music and shit

[IntuneDan]

Actually ... you shouldn't have the B notes in a bluegrass G. So ... fret the B string at the 3rd fret (along with the E) and mute the A string altogether. Starting from the 6th string that gives you a GXDGDG. This gives the chord a distinct modal sound. Also, there really is a lot less of that pick shuffle in the majority of bluegrass rhythm. Otherwise you're on target.

[btcskins2003]

Thanks for the free lesson Marty.

[49skate]

While you strum percussive, do you hit all strings or just bottom strings or something?

[jf09]

king of the hill

[matoy77]

@jf09 Hill moved. Hill contested.

[picis063]

Awsome, thanks

[jesseayden]

nice,nice and nice

[JyherC]

no one can pick that fast omg

[RioTxFloRida]

Bluegrass is the shit.

[sangramsinghmalik]

is the amp in use right behind him???? plz somebody tell me and if he is using it then damn acoustic played on an elctric guitar amplifier@! sound great!

[dbspaceoditty]

thanks so much. i spent hours last night messing with these chords(im self taught tone deaf and and have sheet music dyslexia(they jumble like ants in bugs bunny)

but thanks for showing me what order to play these chords. and the order for the tag(which i use those same notes but not all blue grass like)

[nitchkabob]

Thanks, this was great and simple!!!

[HDSM25]

Thanks so much. It´s fantastic

[ben1380]

You RoCK Marty!! Awesome tutorial... first time trying bluegrass and you got me playing in in minutes.

[nappyroots89]

Marty for President

[gtjunky]

Marty, you're too cool dude!

[loadrunnerste]

kill the 24guys who dislikes guitar music.

good ideas. I knew the chords but this is a whole different coockie.

hey benny hill btw. lol

[cogsandgags]

coool thx



[thiagovares]

Sry man! This video sux!

[Snopie213]

be the martyz be with you! your the best teacher ever dude rock on!

[phdgraffiti]

For me bluegrass music has always been about fast but clean picking of any instrument. If you want to know what bluegrass guitar sounds like at its best check out "Nine pound Hammer" by Tony Rice. His two solo's are unbelievably addictive. I'm sure he's chording like this guy on the in between parts but who care's? We want those lighting fast hammer on's and pull off's on the solo.

[arazmjan]

marty for president

[adriankano1234]

Ahm... Can You Play Remembering Sunday by All time low

[snv2009]

Marty the best !

[soloist39]

Good god he didn't blink for like 2 minutes straight.

[8Gbitouch]

it dosn't get any better then Marty

[Silppur]

why you have amp with mic but not a guitar with mic?

[razorrick1293]

@Silppur guitar goes into amp? its probably an electro acoustic

[djpuzanga]

marty rules!

[NonEternal]

lol nice hat dude... anyways, im now understanding the "rules" of this kind of music. sure is fun to play among friends lol
