B 52's - Rock Lobster - Easy Beginner Guitar Lesson - Easy Riff

[111DarkMonster111]

Nice telecaster my dad has the exact same but white

[101Volts]

It's bizarre how Rock Lobster is so well known and most covers I've heard missed the mark completely.

[clemzzz]

2-0 2-0 isd SOOOOOOO wrong it's 3-3 3-2

[clemzzz]

@clemzzz 3-2 3-2 ******

[clemzzz]

@clemzzz NOW without typo's

it's actually 0- 2 -3 2-0 (6th) 3-2 3-2 (5th)

[clemzzz]

@clemzzz just transpose down correctly!! E string to C means A string to F

the riff is still 0-2-3-2-0(6th) 3-2-3-2 (5th)

[AlexEatsCats]

this isn't working for me it sounds completely different even after i tuned my guitar

[AllThatGlitters31100]

[i3oosted]

An "Easy Riff" that you play the wrong notes on..

[UnderTheAffluence]

@atomsforpeace89 Agreeeeed.

[UnderTheAffluence]

@atomsforpeace89 And it's pissing me off quite a bit. All those poor naive 14 year old learning their favourite 'Family Guy' song, incorrectly. What would Ricky Wilson say?!

[theredkatana]

[copking12]

[DRDdrifterz]

@copking12 are you having fun riding my dick? be honest.

[copking12]

@DRDdrifterz you have no guitar skills the way peter plays rock lobster and the way b52`s plays rock lobster are the exact same

[lunasco23]

@DRDdrifterz It's the same you stupid moron can you understand that, you want it like family guy? Play it like this and then just sing it like a retard

[DRDdrifterz]

@lunasco23 hop off of my penis. i dont hear any chords or octaves being played here. so dont even start riding my dick

[wazzup039]

[rockpainterx]

DUDE..yer playing it wrong

[Knafi]

@calismenreth "And second, the note sequence for the riff should go C# D# E D# C# A F# A G#" TEEHEE, it says fag

[Drykla]

does not sound right. check again

[EJFRANCOIS222]

man this guy sucks. always fucking up the songs. its e, f#, g, f#, e, C, B, C, B. NOT Bb, A, Bb, A... smfh.. train your ears and listen to the song before making these tutorials.

[Rebelsoul73]

@EJFRANCOIS222 u suck! Cant u read its for beginners, where r ur videos,dumbass

[EJFRANCOIS222]

@Rebelsoul73 dont be mad at me because the guy fucks up the songs. dumbshit

[Rebelsoul73]

@EJFRANCOIS222 there is no wrong way to play music, obviously u r not a musician or u wouldnt b talking shit, ill out shred u anyday

[EJFRANCOIS222]

@Rebelsoul73 yes there is wrong ways to play music you moron. and this guy is not playing the song correct. theres certain notes that he plays incorrect. obviously your just madly in love with this guy.

how long have you been playing instruments? do you even know how to read music? do you own several instruments? can you play more than 1? do you play by yourself or in a band/orchestra? cuz obviously you know alot more than me huh

[Rebelsoul73]

@EJFRANCOIS222 wow ur cool,u dont play shit because another musician would never put ones style down. I will out shred u anytime on guitar drums and slide guitar. You want to battle me post your best video and ill do the same,we'll let youtube decide chump. I just looked at ur name ru a wetback mexican

[EJFRANCOIS222]

@Rebelsoul73 lol wooow how old r you kid? 12? dont be an internet gangsta ok. you dont know nothing about music. and im not putting "music style" down. im putting his musical skills down. the inability to correctly play a song. its not about style, its about playing the actual song correctly. with the right notes. you change the notes of a song, you change the song itself stupid.

and no im not mexican lol. your obviously ignorant for even asking. get an education kid.

[Rebelsoul73]

@EJFRANCOIS222 check yourself, im far from a kid or a gangsta(spelled gangster) you think cause someone can follow tab thats music. You r dumb and uneducated,get off your moms titty and learn some music theory. I hate pussies like u that find the bad in everything,i dont see u teaching anything, Marty has over a 1000 FREE LESSONS on here. If u ask me thats pretty cool for someone to devote that much time for free. Songs can b played different ways on the fretboard,up to your style

[EJFRANCOIS222]

@Rebelsoul73 thank you grammer nazi. judging from how you spell you are a child or have the mentality of one. the song is being played incorrectly, the notes are wrong. its not about music theory or style. he could have done chords, played arpegios, scales and changed the style but it could have been the same song. he just plays the song incorrectly.

your calling me dumb, uneducated and a pussy but isnt that a donkey calling another one an ass? lol. this guy has made over 1000 free lessons

[Rebelsoul73]

@EJFRANCOIS222 lmao, im done idiot,Marty look at this dumbass that cant even play,dont even own a guitar and clowning u. White Power

[EJFRANCOIS222]

@Rebelsoul73 you was done before you started. you dont even know the difference between playing a song in a different style to opposed to playing a song wrong. "theres no such thing as playing music incorrect", so i guess with that logic i can tae a hammer, smash it on the keys of a piano and call it Beethoven 7th symphany. and no matter how ridiculous i sound nobody can say i play the song incorrectly because its "my style" as you would put it right?

lol. you must be a redneck. no wonder.

[Rebelsoul73]

@EJFRANCOIS222 what that have to do with anything,dont u have a life, u r u and i am me,leave me alone estalker. Your never going to do anything but down other people, i bet u dont have any friends.

[EJFRANCOIS222]

@Rebelsoul73 you calling me stalker? your the one searching through my page and harassing me calling me deterogatory and racist words. you think that bothers me? do you think it makes me want to drop dead? your the one who started, you responed to my comment that wasnt meant for you and now your at the point where you cant even respond back and be mature.

how old are you? 7? because your actions prove you are immature and naive. also please stop harassing me on my page. "dont u have a life?"

[EJFRANCOIS222]

@Rebelsoul73 cont...

wow serious? you are a redneck. racist. your a beginner? haha wow and you was talking as if you've been playing for years. taking lessons? awe!!

guess what i actually have that same amp. the spider thing. no lie. if you ask nicely i tell you how to set it up. lol

you only have 1 guitar? lol your a poser man. acting like you know music. you dont know shit haha.. "beginner". good luck with lessons.

and you pussy you blocked me when i didnt even harass you. bitchass

[Rebelsoul73]

@EJFRANCOIS222 sure am a redneck, and racist and a 5 year beginner, you would never talk thatt shit outside your computer balls, and no i own several guitars now. I love music and most people, but i have no respect for someone who puts down everybody, i encourage people to do what ever they want. Glad u have the same amp its a good practice amp,and no i can set it up just fine thx. If u know a better way of playiing something why dont u teach a person how instead of saying they suck.ugotguitarNO

[EJFRANCOIS222]

@Rebelsoul73 your a hypocrite. you say your a racist but hate people who puts everybody down? stfu.

if you werent a beginner and had some experience you would understand and know that the song was being played incorrectly. i even noted the right notes. i wasnt the only one. if you go through the comments others noted the notes were wrong.

why would i have a guitar amp and no guitar? are you one of those dumb rednecks? i am by no means the best muscian but have way more exp than 5 years.

[EJFRANCOIS222]

@Rebelsoul73 cont..

and btw idk what you saw on my page to think im mexican but i have never uploaded a vid you dumbass. i favorite vids on youtube. you proabably saw a vid about a WHITE CANADIAN guy talking about the Playstaytion Network. you so stupid you dont even know the diff between mexican and white.

than your going to harass me and post racist shit on my page.

"you would never talk thatt shit outside your computer balls". look whos talking.. the hypocrite... smfh.

[Rebelsoul73]

@EJFRANCOIS222 is that u in that video,lmao- u r mexican

[EJFRANCOIS222]

@Rebelsoul73 hmm i dont understand what you are even gettng at. but i guess at this point your just unable to stay mature. lol.. the best and probably most educated thing you can say is me being mexican lol-which im not but whatever. it doesnt matter. only an ignant, ignorant fool would stoop to a level to make fun of a single group of peoples.

[EJFRANCOIS222]

@Rebelsoul73 cont..

and they all are horrible. sorry i offend your idol but its the truth. cry me a river, build a bridge and get over it if you are really that butt hurt. i simply dont care what you think.

and you dont understand the difference between playing a song with style as to playing it incorrectly.

[viggethemaniac]

HAHAH transcribe audio at 2:38 ;D

[originalquene]

Marty, why does my 6E string doesn't stops after I played it, I think that is what is keeping me form making it sound right?? in another video of a acoustic song you say it should just stop the 6E string, what am I doing wrong?

[Shinedown95]

dude i put my guitar in drop c and it took forever to get back to normal

grrrrr

[RectalDiscourse]

half of that was flat

[KylesIndividual]

Nice tele man

[jec5476]

Nice! Any chance you can do more of this? Family Guy did a nice acoustic version.

[stntunes]

[ROBERTO00G]

[AnimalLover201]

michelle you a real easy to simple little irao around the compound it i saw richard quest for and tried to real student and and and and and and and and and and and nadn and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and you know and and there was blood

[jokieperson23]

FINALLY A PERSON WHO KOWS HOW TO PLAY IT RIGHT...NOT LIKE THOSE OTHER JUSTIN BEIBER DOUCHE BAGS

[fyflishfy47]

@jokieperson23 Why the FUCK would you mention that kid, on Marty's tutorial? You're such a faggot, for bringing him up, you're obviously obsessed with that kid. Get a life.

[guitargodthor]

wheres the rest of it?

[sourwhale]

oh, i love you for teaching a b-52s song. :D

[kmwest1]

I believe the last part of riff on A string should be 3-2-3-2,,,,, C-B-C-B. That's the way I play it, and I think it's the way Ricky played it too. People play songs differently as evidence by all the different tabs out there.

In any case, I think what your doing is great and encourages folks to pick up those guitars.

[Halodude889]

Thx Man

[Badgamers]

michele you are a simple little iraq

[RidleyEater]

its too bad hes playing it wrong...

[Maverick81x]

@RidleyEater Did you actually watch the vid or do you just like making jackass comments? He tells you right in the beginning you have to tune the guitar down, then spends the second half of the vid showing you just how to do that.

[AvengerMaxwell]

@RidleyEater Too bad you're being a dick.

[RidleyEater]

@AvengerMaxwell you seriously replied to a 3 month old comment? instead of scrolling down youtube pages to find comments to speak your mind against, how about you go get a life and make some friends.

[AvengerMaxwell]

@RidleyEater Calm down.

[JosephIZCHiLL]

Some one who can acctually fucking play right and dosen't think It's From Family Guy.

[mtsn]

Someone already said it but the last notes in the beginning are way off, but it's fixed with the right tuning. I nearly thought it was going to be teached wrong like that.

[mmoneyitswhereitsat]

mine doest sound like that... ):

but i have an acoustic..

[xoxolala13]

thanks a lot.. now i can show off to all my inept guitar playing friends!

[bd594]

Thanks for your video and with out it I would never of been able to complete my project. I have just built a robot band called The Bit-52's and currently filming a video for YouTube. The band also includes a robot guitar player. I was going to give up on the project all together because the guitar never sounded correct but your video showed the correct way to tune it. My new video will blow away my last video Bohemian Rhapsody Old School Computer Remix thanks to you. James - BD594

[bd594]

@bd594 the robot video is complete just search for The Bit-52's on Youtube

[Spectrallink]

"Then in the early seventies they get close" ROFL
