[supaCAMACHOman]

[AmirMaggot1358]

[Mudd31]

[JimboDean9]

[DURBIN4303]

Too cool. LOVE the sound

[mielazul]

Check "Rosetta West - Underground" for some good raw slide guitar.

[treblejunkie]

Why don't they just write each string's note for each key?

[BarWillTender]

thanks!! I'm gonna play this for the rest of the week!

[ddbarnes11]

Your background was horrible for playing blues.

[calvojmonte47]

GET TO THE GUITAR STUFF PLEASE.

[namey420]

my daddy is one hell of a guitar player i think i'm gonna have to have him teach me i can't get it off a video

[MXstreamerxD]

Isnt that from Longest Yard? (when Adam arrives to the jail)

[ramus001]

ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz



[ramus001]

Yawn ... ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz

[Kraglord]

I feel like you are missing a strum before you slide from 2 to 3.

[funfreak24]

whats the tuning?

[jumpiie2000]

I love Marty schwartz hes so awesome. I learned so much of the basics of playing guitar because of him

[TonyDanger]

That green screen background's fuckin horrible.

[l4d098]

sound like swamp blues

[kickmybowls]

he likes to wank that guitar like theres no tomorrow joking XD these guys are awsome

[surtursfire]

Mmm....gives it a little greasiness. Good description.

[Slicc7]

=D thanks tony

[BlaCalvin]

0:18 :D:D:D "AAAAAAAAAAAAAA" :D

[skatethehouse999]

thanks!, that was great!

[Laimonel]

I thought it would be hard as hell for me to learn to play slide, but only after 4 minutes of this i can impress my friends with my slide! THANK YOU!

[Maikash1]

awesome



[ViktatheSlicksta]

glass or metal?

[raptorman120]

@ViktatheSlicksta Glass sounds better, But obviously, It will break much sooner than a metal one. on a Sidenote, I use a brand new socket out of my tool box. works just as good as a "Real" slide from a music store.

[A7xfan74]

hilarious



[karpopper]

I have 30 years experience playing Beginner Blues Slide Guitar

[rs48f]

Thank you very much! I've been trying to figure this part out for years... I can see now that I need to spend some time and learn alot more

[Absta192]

MARTYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[lifelongitch]

A nice little lesson to get beginner slides moving-- and feeling. Thanks!

[crazysingingchick]

Sweet!!!

[doorman422]

This is how ppl get confused. Its not "the five", OR "The seventh" its a 1 4 5 blues. He's talking about the fret number, not the scale.

[georgeisupset]

@doorman422 I agree , but the average guitar player doesn't know much theory, so it makes it easier to understand.

[000asd]

Can you use the same tuning on a electric guitar?

[DrMabouse]

marty is super!:D

[NicroticSouls]

This guys an asshole! Egocentric ass - lose the hat you wanna be!

[iHacksorzz]

@NicroticSouls that was an awesome lesson what are u whining about lol, mhmm greasiness lmao.

[The12Child]

Cool dude, and you have the same hat as mine

[bluescreenjames]

That was awesome :) Thanks!

[fledis]

grat lesson :)

[fasteddie925]

hey did you borrow his stupid hat

[RichardGriffith10]

Christ Marty Schwartz is fucking everywhere



[raptor1056]

These are perhaps the most inane comments I have ever read.

[KillingOptions]

So glad I bought a glass slide and not a metal one

[andreasmariosetiawan]

there is marty

[ajp2z]

Good for beginners but sounds a little sloppy to be honest... Especially on the vibrato...

[belikewater001]

@ajp2z Your head's up your ass....to be honest. This is an excellent beginning that ANYONE can learn and feel good about.

[ajp2z]

@belikewater001 Good sir, I assure you that my head is not up my ass but yours very well might be... I stated that this is good for beginners... And I also realize that the style of slide guitar is a bit gritty and raw by nature, making a certain degree of slop excusable... but I still say the tone of this guy's playing is borderline offensive. As a guitar instructor broadcasting to thousands upon thousands he should be held to higher standards.

[belikewater001]

@ajp2z

"the tone of this guys playing is borderline offensive"??

That's some hilarious (and pretentious) bullshit. Go troll some Segovia videos.

[ccannon29]

i think he might be using a green screen..... O.O in all seriousness thanks for the lesson it really helped!!

[bakuball]

@ccannon29 LOL... you think?

[DUSTERWOOOOOW]

kinda gay...but awesome

[Deathmash]

stop your faggot tricks and start playing!

[smiletouchhuglaugh]

thanks fellows appreciate it i love the blues its badass just like supa man bro, lovin it peace

[DarumaXIV]

That's a good lesson...Thank you....You should have the camera more to your right, though.

[DarumaXIV]

That's a good lesson...Thank you.

[panderofreak22]

awesome :)

[tdelamont]

Open D tuning is D A D F# A D. I don't know why this dude didn't take two seconds to mention it. It's a good tuning as you can capo up 2 for open E, and it doesn't stress out the neck. Also for slide, the heavier the strings, the better.

[62rome]

now that was cool...

[isntlovegrand]

So as a beginner, I became completely overwhelmed at the different kinds of slides out there. Can you tell me what things you recommend I look for? i.e. ceramic… metal...the better brands… etc. Also what strings do you recommend for the blues? Lastly, what are some of the better, higher-end blues amps out there? THANKS!

[MATHIJSIE666]

@isntlovegrand hee dude since i see no one else responds i wil hehe but i reccomend using a glass slide for a electric guitar and i prefer metal for acoustic there aint so much different in the slide's brands just go to your local guitar shop and i use the same strings as in gibson guitars that in combination with a glass slide sounds beautiful and for a amp if you want to slide you got to have something with chorus thats sounds real cool but if you want a great amp i reccomend VOX ;)

[isntlovegrand]

@MATHIJSIE666 No one else responded, so thank so much for the advise!! I'm going down tomorrow to buy the slides. Do you have any suggestions for models of Vox blues amps to check out?

[MATHIJSIE666]

@isntlovegrand well i used an vox vt30 it is about 190 euro ( im dutch so i have euro ;P ) so that aint very much and vox is a very good brand the vt 30 has 12 effects and much more to customize your sound it sounds real clean so its very nice for blues ;) good luck with buying your slide's and amp id like to hear what you finally bought ;)

[AJBluesman]

These guys are so funny !  Great lesson too !

[Zeneternity]

Great intro. blues lesson.

A lot of teachers don't really "show" you what to do. They kind of do, but I find they are often covering some things up whether purposely or not. You put it all out there and show and explain the subtle techniques.

Fabulous! thanks for sharing!

[TechnoBoyization]

@N169AN That's called a slide ;p

[N169AN]

Kool.. fun and easy.. what is that thing on the pinky called?

[aligdax]

It helps the over all sound too if you mute the strings behind the slide to stop them from ringing out. Also it's a good idea to have a slightly higher action so that the slide doesn't fret out the string when you run up the neck.

[EpicLemurz]

Lol. The intro to Ain't no rest for the wicked is a lot like this.

[Ragpicker81]

A slide lesson should be teached by a slide expert. You can't teach what you can hardly do.

[Threestaves]

great lesson

[Bmcride]

Fookin awsome lesson!

[MjXllcommando]

how high are these guys?

[elgatocavron]

@MjXllcommando VERY!!!

[johnybladex]

@MjXllcommando THE SURFER GUY IS VERY HIGH

[LukasoCZ]

Hey, it looks like that marty was smokin a lot..... :DDD

[IAINoodle]

they tekin ar jooooobs

wicked tutorial

[eric3ripper]

this really helped. thank science for you and marty.

[weathered79]

your a dork but a great teacher most slide vids don't explain shit so open 2 3 5 7 12 got it

[WannabeGuitarLegend]

Wow, that background is SO appropriate!

Decent lesson though, definitely a good start!

[RcUniverseGuy]

haha martys great

[tigerose123]

where did you get that slide? i want it

[Vdenten]

@tigerose123 You can also use a bottle of glass ;)

[tigerose123]

what kind of slide is that? and where did you get it?

[andrew4773]

screw you man, thanks to you I broke a string open D... why you didn't tried open E =_=

[andrew4773]

screw you man, thanks to you I broke a string open D... why you didn't tried open E =_=

[dcskaterlpupunk]

I'm loving the green tolex of the Fender

[ozzy802003]

Can anyone plz tell me bands that play such acoustic blues slide music ?

[TheJuliusJT]

@ozzy802003 derek truck

[ozzy802003]

Can anyone plz tell me bands that play such acoustic blues slide music ?

[rwebb61]

@ozzy802003 Ever heard of Robert Johnson? If you have not it's a good place to start

[1694kyle]

green screen.  I bet he doesn't own a tube amp

[leahsimur]

Greasiness. Dirty south yeah

[dlhamilt]

Weadley - I was going to offer the same suggestion. You should be dragging your trailing fingers in front of the slide position to mute any overtones from the strings, as well as using your picking hand to mute your unused strings. Without muting the unused strings, you come out with a very muddy sound. Granted, that's usable in some instances, but beginners need to be taught to play clean, first.

[steelydanman10]

But what if I want to play the blues? How do I do that with a finger pipe?

[weadley]

I think it would be good to teach beginners to mute the strings behind the slide. That is some noisey technique he is teaching. Some good info but also a bad example for a begginer to learn from if the student picks up that bad habit.

[1PSYTEX1]

SWEEEET! =) love it, exacly what i needed! ;)

[93eDuaRdO93]

what's the name of that thing he has on his finger to slide ??/

[rungej]

@93eDuaRdO93 its called.. a slide..

[dlhamilt]

It's called a "slide". :P That particular one is glass or pyrex. You can get them in ceramic, glass, and several different kinds of metal. If you want to go old-school, you can use any smooth surface, like the side of a lighter or a folding buck knife (old Delta Blues slide players are famous for that particular trick and often used it as an excuse to carry the knife for protection).

[akosipuyat]

what a douche

[dlhamilt]

Why is he a douche? Because you can't do it? :)

[geoffreyvanw]

@akosipuyat your a douche

[georgeisupset]

How come none of you guys use standard tuning in these instructional vids.. Also there's no mention of the chords.. 7th fret, 5th fret, in open d what are the chords.. do we forget everything we know about the neck when using open tunings? Can you only play songs in the key of d? there's not enough information on slide playing in standard tuning.. Once again I go to the music store and by another book. Perhaps I'll get a camera and TEACH people myself.

[mastclimbers]

@georgeisupset Therer are no chords he,s using a slide you dumbass go get guitar playing for retards there might be something in that to help you.

[georgeisupset]

@mastclimbers Actually, if you hit more than one note at a time, it is considered a chord.Slide or no slide.

And the chords he's using are open D, Gmajor (5th fret ) and A major (7th fret ).

So I guess you should look for that book yourself, fucknuts.

[werewolvesofmohnton]

did he say the tunings different for this?

[L4Wstud]

0:09 : "open D tuning".

[333TGINN333]

i want that hat! thanks for the lesson

[grasseater108]

I bought a slide a couple of months ago and its finally paid off! Thanks!

[BrownsCustomGrips]

Most others will tell you to use a finger behind the slide to mute the strings behind where your slide is fretted.

[Tezman82]

Good stuff!

[lonewolf1234512345]

that's my hat, Tony

[alp1989]

awesome. just got a slide and have been wanting to learn some groovy stuff. thanks!

[havokbaphomet666]

Very good! :)

[HarleyAssi]

Sir... Awsome lesson. Great.

[rob1itall]

That guy stole Marty's Hat!

[HarleyAssi]

LOL Rob ... :-D

Unfortunately the Vid always stopped at 0:35 on my comp. and buffered for.. dunno... ever!

But its surely a great vid. At least, what I saw, was quite funny ;-)

[beatbone]

same thing on my computer.

just put the little button a step to the right.

youtube will rebuffer and you just missed a few seconds!

[Mikeytron6000]

cant help but smile

[sledge57a]

Screwin with my head again Marty?

It's as good this time as it was the last time, but dude I'm an old fart (yes from the 60's and 70's) and I think I'm having flashbacks every time you re-post these videos.

Oh yea yer costin me money too, now I need a slide and a harmonica and..........................

[Brocky124]

the quality of the camera isn't that good as the other vids. but still great lessons

[youcanlearnguitar]

it was still rendering.

[Brocky124]

I see, the quality is much better now. thx

[mmoguildsite]
