@F41LWhaleXD Yes, you could do power chords if that's the way you want to do it. Watch him at 1:49 and follow with power chords. It's a different way of doing it, but if you like the way that sounds or find it easier, then by all means go for it. BUT....if you have a tough time with the bar chords, this is a GREAT way to PRACTICE and get better! :-)
@edportable He just did a little piece of a scale there at 6:05. Practice your pentatonic scales and you can throw in a little bit on any song if you feel like it and it sounds good to you.
a great song to start getting used to barre chords is Tuesdays Gone. the whole song, in chords, is an A, Emaj, F#m (the barre), and a D. and that barre shape is just 2-4-4-2-2-2. real easy and catchy song to start incorporating the dreaded barre with :D
@jennyomalley Yes, Marty forgot to play the other part. "Looks like nothings gonna change..." Play G-D-C until you get to the part "So I'll guess I'll remain the same". Play an F major at "So" and a D major after the word "remain".
mate, you're an outstanding tutor, easy lesson's, easy to follow instructions. I have learnt so many song's, and added a bit of flavour to the song's, i've learnt from you. thanks a million. I too, am one of those people who have picked up the guitar a little later. but never to old to learn.
You're great man! Would love to bring someone in to teach the kids a little guitar at my acting camp in Santa Barbara. Just google Acting Camp Santa Barbara and check out our site. Thanks for the lesson!
HAHAHA i laughed so hard at your face when you starting ringing out those bar chords. thanks for the lesson marty, i was ''flavourly'' playing this song at a beach fire the other night, you;re the best man.
MARTY great job, i like your style your a good teacher,. Anybody that has an iPhone and is wants to play with a real drum beat check out freedrumappsdotcalm and download a genre, I found these extremely useful in learning guitar.
oww i'mm bummd not a guitar at the moment,,dont take this clip ofline,,my allltime faforite song,,its even my funeral biggone,,but jeeaahhss i wanne play it,,,,,,,,and,,do you have ''champaign and wine'' too?? mostly a piano number,,so easeyer for me but,,please?
I thank you so much for a simple-assed way to understand using bar chords. I am a trained classical/jazz trombonist, and can play nearly any other instrument put in front of me, but the 6-string-of-death has been kicking my head in for nearly 6 years. I now have it.... not perfect, but definitely much further along.
Also, thank you for covering such classic songs, keep the Croce coming!!
thats really great yo! and i like how simple you make it. one thing tho... what about the part : looks like nothing's gonna change everything still remains the same i can't do what ten people tell me to do so i gess i'll remain the same, yes
I think the best lesson marty ever taught not just because "Sittin On The Dock of The Bay" is an awesome tune, but also for what marty tells us about dinamics and palm muting - chuck ect..
hey marty great vid, picked up a guitar for the 1st time 6 wks ago, am 28 so starting from scratch,. picked up open chords and songs well but struggled with barre chords which waz doing my nut in, rekon this is the vid to get the job done though, cheers man yer a pure legend
i think, that if u just give us the chords at the description it would help alot, u know its hard to see what ur hitting with ur fingers, even tough u say it... its hard to understand
thank you for this! it's very useful :) i wanted to do a guitar cover of this but the passing chords were too hard for me (on guitar) so i opted to do a piano cover instead. hope you could watch it! please tell me what you think.
also, i commend you for all your added tricks and tips! :) i don't see much of that on YouTube tutorials :)
man I like you!! Any song I remember I could play, there is a video by you. I just started and can already play like 10 songs only by doin ur tutorials...NIIIIIICEEEE
hi marty..great lesson thanks.i love those two licks you do at about 6:06 into the video..could you kindly show how to do those? really makes the sound of the song great
You're an awesome teacher! I've only just started learning the guitar and sometimes I kinda look at it going "err ok what am I gonna do now?" but your lessons make me feel like I can play anything! My Dad thinks you're great too :)
Love your tutorials, man, you rock! And you keep us laughing too... Sorry to hear/read/see you had to move the video's. Perhaps renaming them will help? Artists should (and will) be proud to have their music played all over the word! Keep on rockin' mate!!! Cheers
Hey Marty, I HAVE noticed my barchords have gotten a lot better. Unfortunately I haven't been able to dedicate as much time as I would like to playing, but all the videos you post and the technique lessons have certainly helped. Thanks!!
Hey Marty You are one cool guitar player & excellent teacher! I'd like to suggest a lesson on Edgar Winter's Frankenstein! Now, that would be cool!!!!1
