Marty Schwartz will make you a better guitar player!!!

[dogcat21o]

hey man awesome vid!!! i agree marty really improved my guitar playing too!!

just one question...did the damage you did to your vocal chords heal, and how long did it take?

[mattbmichaelis]

@dogcat21o two years later, unfortunately no. I even went through 6 months of speech therapy and rested my voice (didn't speak) for 3 weeks. but my problem wasn't textbook - I saw 3 different doctors and none of them knew what the problem really was.  you can sense why I was discouraged at the time, but I really am over it now. guitar has done wonders; I'm doing stuff I never would have dreamed of doing. thanks for asking.

Marty Rawkz...!!!!!!!

[thomasbarchen]

I have been doing Marty's lessons for about six weeks and I am moving right along and enjoying myself. Very helpful!

[ItalianMafia36]

marty did the same thing for me...i've done guitar lessons for 3 years when i was younger but i never really understood what my teachers were trying to teach me. 2 out of the 3 teachers I've had in the past were weird! This summer i found Marty and all i have to say is thank you Marty Schwartz for your lessons. They've helped me a lot! I will always be watching your videos and learning new songs and scales!

[Bryan6404]

@sharkbait429 If he were president he wouldn't have time to make videos and it would be the end of the world!!!

[redrik009]

Oregonians ftw

[lolerzz308]

2 people are not good at anything.

[calledcalvin]

Marty's videos are great.

[Mahym]

Just out of curiosity, but what do breaking vocal chords (which sucks, sorry about that) have to do with switching instruments? Anyway. Awesome Strat! I have the exact same one (Am though)!

[mattbmichaelis]

@Mahym I was just too depressed; I needed a different outlet. Marty saved my life. Strats rule!

[secondplace88]

@Mahym That made him bummed out and guitar made him happier.

[Realium]

He's great! You said everything which I wanted to say =)

[MrUSArmyBand]

Marty is the greatest guitar teacher on the net, and most likely in the world. I love watching his videos, although I usually pause them and play with the pieces/licks he teaches. I love how it is never just "this is how you play this song; there's always a "And if you just play around with this you'll get this kind of sound." Hopefully there will be Marty Schwartz lessons for a long time to come. Thanks Marty.

[martyzsongs]

yo matt, thanks so much for the kindness man, glad you're jamming dude. thx again

marty

[Shas109]

[Realdude2011]

Agree a billion percent! Marty saved my life too! :)
