[hermypotty]

Would it still sound ok if I tried this on an acoustic guitar?

[rythemnbluesman]

Nice lesson marty, wonderful sound, thanks



[JerJwo]

DUDE that crazy lick at 6:55 blew my freekin mind can you send me the tabs for it please it would make my life complete

[rickeygottheblues]

this is a direct rip off from otis reddings dreams to remember and 45 years later its as if gravity is some great new profuction what goes around comes around at least a dozen times

[MrCsimonds]

[minihendrix100]

NEONNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[559stephen]

I could tell you were ACHING to do that solo at the end haha i think that song is a bit too boring for you?

Anyways,thanks a bunch,just started electric guitar and this really helped.

[Funkyryno]

Sal Governale's long lost brother...

[jalenschaffer]

marty ur awesome "Going to find another you" please!

[FreaquedeMusique]

the bridge chords are actually x07585

x5457x (6)x878x x6576x an than the second chord again!

[FreaquedeMusique]

@timmylexmark well that didnt make any sense... thats just what john plays and no, i dont read guitar magazine cuz I cant get it here in holland... if someone learns a song you should learn it the right way...

so dude...

[knite778778]

man i love this style of blues, i feel like it's how us bluesmen of today more accurately express our emotions just as the blues players of decades ago used their own moody sound. from Hooker to Vaughan to Mayer the evolution is awesomee

[littlewing4813]

@knite778778 Probably the best comment I've ever seen. :)

[emiliovelezmusic]

Aside from those little irksome points, though, GREAT lesson. You always explain new tunes and concepts so well, and your approach is super accessible. Keep them coming! (Especially the JM tunes!)

[emiliovelezmusic]

As much as I love your lessons, Marty, GAH!

Gravity is all about the mellow feel, the GENTLY singing Strat tone...you're attacking those strings way too hard! The only time John really digs into the strings like that is in the end solo, when the song turns into more of an anthem.

And playing chords with his "thumb-bass" voicings isn't about looking more like him, or Jimi, or whoever - it's about eliminating that low 5th that you get from the bar chords, and achieving the crucial choke-hold tone!

[tonyhq1992]

why do people hate on marty man he is porobably one of the few people i respect

[floopcheeseable]

This guy is such a fat douchebag

[Xenohn]

@TheHighestEagle fyi mexican strats are 500 bucks. thats the biggest joke ive ever heard

[Xenohn]

@TheHighestEagle i was saying that bullshit 500 dollar mexican strats were the biggest joke ive ever heard, also exaggerated for effect. ironically you didn't get it because you may be too literal for that. you shouldnt assume all people that use the internet are stupid

[TheHighestEagle]

@Xenohn That's kind of "same to you but more of it" I heard some 40 years ago, with my own words, no less. I never assume anyone is stupid, until I read the garbage they spew. But there is plenty on the internet. The whole point is how many people slam artists and musicians on YouTube, and most have trouble playing the radio. I slammed "floopcheesable" for his comment about Marty, someone who's doing his thing on YouTube. Why the hell you had to put your 2 cents in to me is still a question?

[Xenohn]

@TheHighestEaglei was simply commenting on the fact that shitty guitars from mexico are ridiculously overpriced

[lilbopeep10]

@floopcheeseable

your the fat douche bag

[rythemnbluesman]

@floopcheeseable So when did you become, one to judge him, really rude comment.

[Lefthanderz]

Dig it dude,keep them coming top man!!

[wytze112]

I think it is really hard to learn to play guitar by watching youtube ore other video's. lessons are still the best option :p

[RuhiSmallman]

wiked dude! you look stoned as in this clip bro lol. mad guy though your the man cuz!

[sjoerda]

you look tired

[enriquesalazar009]

just a question/comment.. Isn't there a mistake at the beginning? Marty says G major bar chord and the screen shows the tabs 3-5-5-4-5-5-, it should be 3-5-5-4-3-3. If i see anything else that could be wrong i'll post again..

[PaulUndOskarRockt]

@enriquesalazar009 yeah, but G-Major is basic so it shows the more difficult next chord.

[nakin01]

hi marty i like your lessons, you are really good, and i have a question about your dvd i´m from mexico so how can i buy them?? by credit card or something you could send them to mexico???

[lmcs19921030]

It's amazing how this guy explains soooooooo good, he makes it so easy to play all these songs.

[deathbysilence1]

so kinda like the lenny chords

[cali2092007]

can you do a tut on covered in rain by john mayer?? that would be awesome!

[izah0x0]

Hi Marty,

Thanks for the great tutorial.... You're always the man! Cheers

[zlinzizzl]

[cloudstrifezackfair]

Thanks for this Marty. It really helped.

[MightyT2kRock]

Great lesson. Can you do John Mayer's "I'm Gonna Find Another You." It's one of my favorite songs and I can't find a decent one anywhere on YouTube.

[goodfella514]

Hey Marty! Crossroads by John Mayer,when ever you have the chance. Keep up the good work!

Thanks

[xEasySnipesx]

[BosshogProductions]
