  1. Once again, this video demonstrates how difficult it is to teach the guitar. Marty, I love your playing during the first 38 seconds. You're playing what comes naturally to you, and it really shows — you are talented! But then when you go into explaining what is it that you're doing there, it obviously is not possible. Not because you lack anything as a teacher, but because those things are not transferrable. Everyone should learn to find their own voice, and stop futile attempts at sounding like someone else. Still, thank you for doing this :)

  2. You would actualy put Bonamas on th same page with SRV, please.  you must have meet him and got all mussy. Im sorry, but that guy is anew comer flash in the pan, with tons of otherts above him 
    You like fast talking too I guess. Sorry Ok lesson, just a weird reference.

  3. marty not only gives me guitar lessons  but also gives me life lessons, thanks marty!!

  8. Marty, I started out as an accordion player at age 7, traded it in for a set of drums at age 12 when the Beatles came around, and decided I wanted to learn to play guitar in my early 20's.

    I have two problems: I don't seem to be able to pick up and down as much as i should, and I've never developed the use of my left hand pinky on the fretboard. I've always been a three fingered lead player (and a damned good one at that),but I know if I could develop my left pinky, I could be much better. Any tips for me?

  9. Fantastic! Some really great exercises and ideas. I'm gonna go shred my fingers into a pulp now. :)

  10. I've been watching since day one of my guitar career and I've got to say you're a great teacher! I definitely learn something new and interesting every time. Great work Marty keep it up! 

  15. this sounds nothing like Bonamassa and how the fuck is that fast, who the hell uses pinky to play blues, i really dont get this guy pheonomenon very sloppy playing.

  16. Marty – did you have all of these beautiful guitars before or after you became a YouTube star!
