What tuning does my guitar need to be in to play this song right?

[noshepard]

@sdaviscatad standard tuning is good

[MrLino]

@sdaviscatad Half step down if i recall correctly. I made a cover from the solo of this song. It was a few years ago and i was quite a beginner, but i'll post as a response and it might help some of you.

[MrLino]

@sdaviscatad Actually, nevermind my video cover, i just watched it and it really sucks hahaha. But i'm pretty sure it's half a step down.

[griffen858]

[dirttrkr]

people who dislike marty.......must have an over inflated opinion of themselves.......been playin for 20+ years and still learn every day something new.......stop hating if your that good and go on tour.....Marty is a good teacher and some times gives a new perspective on a song that I may not of thought of......I'm self taught and have to play by ear.......Marty rules!!!!!

[b8um8nn]

I Want To Get Your Autograph Dude Youve Tought me almost Every Song I Know

[Derrickman82]

I just bought a new Ibanez today. Havent owned a guitar since I was 16. Maybe using this thing called the internet will give me more of an oppertunity to learn alot more than i did back then.

[AJvolocity34]

@Derrickman82 Cool. I just bought an Ibanez last week. I'm using the net as my teacher because I'm too broke to hire a teacher. Lol

[InScienceITrust]

You are an excellent teacher! Where were you when I was 12? (You weren't!) The internet, kiddies,,,,,unbelievable opportunities like this for you to learn! Christ; tablature was not even around!

[blackstratbill]

[xXSlySGXx]

when ever i want to learn a song i type in a song and as soon as i see marty's picture in the fingure nail im like YUP song all ready learned

[McJaews]

When you pick the strings on the neck I can tell your pinky is searching for the body to anchor on to:P

I've heard anchoring is generally a bad habit, but I guess if it works for you then it's not that bad.

[jameson5186]

Hey bro.Just wanted to say I knew nothing about guitar and I've owned one for 10 years.Now I'm playing songs just from watching your videos.Thanx bro and keep rockin!!!

[patrickteto]

Hey Marty ! One help would be if you mentioned what KEY your tuned in before your lessons.

I usually watch a bunch of your stuff in a row and have been lucky enough to have an extra guitar to pick up already tuned to jump on it.Oh yeah I recently clicked on your free guitar lesson and received a VIRUS after giving you my best E-Mail address.I'm certain it had nothing to do with you but you might want to update your security to prevent someone having fun with us ?

[notwaiting]

@patrickteto If you missed it, he states "Starting in C major" at the beginning.

[Ellifaine]

This video has been SOOO helpful! I am a novice guitarist, and I've taught myself everything I know using tabs and Youtube. Your videos are excellent! Keep up the great work. I appreciate this so much!

[ILiveForTunes]

hey marty, could you send me one of those books? like physically i would totally pay shippin if needed

-thanks man

[billy7889]

thanks to marty,i seem to have developed a habit of strumming the last chord twice like he did at 0:20.am i the only who is affected by him that much?

[Greg763]

[TheFizzbitch69]

[jables4ever]

[ChootEmClint]

alot of times if im playing my guitar, people will ask me how i learned, and my dad says, he teaches himself, well my response to that is "no" marty schwartz teaches me almost everything i know. if there is a song that i want to learn, i always check to see if marty has done a tutorial on it. marty your my favorite teacher because you actually know how to teach.

[5category5]

[Brawnyman2012]

Marty...you rock ! I had put my guitar in the closet for the last 5 years until I saw one of your vids and it inspired me to start playing again. I have learned like 10 new songs from watching your vids in the last week and I even went out and bought a new guitar. I am enjoying the guitar again thanks to you !! Thanks man ! I can only imagine all the people you have inspired and touched. And your lessons are always the best. I don't watch anyone other vids anymore. Keep up the great work

[bpneiman]

This is awesome!. I was litteratlly listening to the song and jumped on Youtube to see if anyone shows how to play it. Your video was first on the list. I was playing the main riff in minutes. Thank you, and please keep it up.

[unrealdook]

[dianeregnurse]

Hey Marty, Home recovering from an injury, I picked up the guitar today for the first time in well over a decade and went to the website (yours) that my husband and daughter are learning to play from. Thanks so much for the free lessons from the three of us here in Ohio(trying to get through yet another housebound winter!). We appreciate your skills playing the guitar AND teaching others how to!

[yoshatabi]

@jduzie11 That's true, they need to learn the basic's.

[samxrutan]

[ERKRAKANARB]

ive been playing guitar for 12 years and this is one of the hardest songs i have ever attempted to learn

[pancakesrulz]

@ERKRAKANARB then your a really slow learner. Ive been playing for 2 years and its ezz mode on :L

[ERKRAKANARB]

@pancakesrulz try smoke on the water. that song is almost impossible for me

[pancakesrulz]

@ERKRAKANARB ok you are obv. being sarcastic so im going to ignore you...

[xtramile09]

i love you marty

[dalesaran]

This is just fantastic. One of my top five favorite songs of all time. And Marty - you do a great, great job of breaking this down. It's the second or third time I've watched a video of yours and I'm hooked. It's not that there aren't other folks out there teaching it, it's that your teaching is consistently high quality - especially for us beginners. And then you always add in some little things that give us something to strive for to take our playing up a notch. Thanks.

[eric11540]

Sweet I'll work on it

[wizestwizard]

Most of his songs are not easy that say easy, especially the ones that say super easy, lol. I fingerpicked this one, I'm a better fingerpicker then a picker. Sounds nice fingerpicked too, I would've liked to throw in the electric jam part.

[TheRealPetChicken]

i have already received my free videos, but i can't find the ebook anywhere. Can someone help me out?

[sanchen21]
