Hey Marty theres this song iv been really wanting to learn For my girlfriend and I was hoping you could do a small video on how to play it, thank you! ,Motion city soundtrack True romance ( the cords)

[@Its_Aureus]

@MartyMusic Please can you do a tutorial of Naked by James Arthur (finger picking or chords) it's such a beautiful song

[@jonastona]

Lovefrom the netherlandsi realy learn so much from you thank u . Can u do 1 time sylvia's mother from dr hook . Ora little bit more

[@imranp2010]

Marty, please, please, please... Can you do Sat by the ocean by qotsa. No one on you tube has done a proper tutorial, I've been waiting since I first heard the tune... It'd be a very popular lesson. Ps. Keep up the amazing work, what you've done for millions of people around the world should be comended! Love from the 🇬🇧.

[@MarkTraphagen]

I almost broke down and cried when I got to the end of this. I've been trying to play it since the album hit the radio in 1969, but none of the songbooks or later online tabs got it completely right. You're the first I've found to really nail it, and explain it in such an easy-to-follow way. Many thanks!

[@danakase6352]

Great work Marty

[@recycledhippie5599]

Im getting it too,,,its so cool i can play this song..and "Tree Top Flyer "

[@DocRockBaby]

Love the one your with is in the same tuning, same chord shapes as the intro of Judy Blue Eyes just played in different places, and if you got through Judy well Love the one your with will be a breeze, peace and love to you brother man

[@capt.danieldavidson6291]

Man, can I relate..! Cheers!

[@mkay1957]

@@DocRockBaby Same with CSN&Y "Carry On". Stills guitar is tuned to Modal E and the others are in standard tuning.

Marty, If I had had you for my guitar teacher when I was a kid I would have had a different life!!

[@tdtom1376]

Crosby, Stills, Nash and Schwartz !

[@alexander_winston]

@td tom.... good job!

[@tdtom1376]

I'd pay to see those guys... maybe if they came to play in New Zealand

[@MartyMusic]

td tom ha ha that would be something !

[@alexander_winston]

@@@tdtom1376 ... I saw them in 1982... just brilliant. My takeaway all these years later was how tight the vocal harmonies were in a live performance. If you ever have a chance to see them you should... all three of them are approaching 80 years old.

[@tdtom1376]

@@MartyMusic so, when are you going to be here?

[@davidbudnik007]

It's 88º, I live at the beach, yet I spent the afternoon inside working on this song with you because I could not put my guitar down. What a fantastic job you did on breaking down what before seemed like an unclimbable mountain. Thank you, Marty, for all your work on this! You totally rock.

[@TheOriginalWhammo]

CSN introduced the world to “Bruce Palmer modal tuning” (low to high: E E E E B E), which Stills learned from the former Buffalo Springfield bassist and used in “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes,” as well as Déjà vu (CSN's follow-up album with Neil Young) cuts like “4+20,” “Carry On” and “Word Game” from Stills' 1971 solo album. Love your lessons! You have taught me so many songs!

Danced to this with my beautiful daughter in the sunshine after recovering from cancer. Please keep sharing Marty xxx

[@einfussganger]

I was a teenager learning guitar when the album originally came out. Obviously there was no internet back then. No You-Tube, Quora, Reddit. Ha ha. It was like the dark ages. I bought a songbook that showed chords in standard tuning. Didn't sound anywhere close to being right. I gave up. Thanks - this was fun and a nearly 50 year-old riddle solved.

[@GandoTheBard]

In the 70s it *was* the dark ages (at least for me) with cheat books often transcribing songs technically correct but otherwise utterly wrong.

[@kingrobert1st]

@@GandoTheBard Yes they were all adapted for piano and in dreadful keys. You could only learn first hand from watching someone play it. We used to trade licks that way.

[@GandoTheBard]

@@kingrobert1st Indeed. If not for the many great musicians on Bleeker Street I would have learned very little of the craft. Not that it amounts to anything since I am not a pro but it did help inform my songwriting.

[@photosfromphilly]

same exact problem i had... with the Deja Vu - CSN songbook...worthless hahah

[@georgeeisberg7153]

At age 70 because of you I am now able to play a song which I’ve cherished through the years and never had any hope of playing it. Thankyou so very much Marry

[@cindyziegra2596]

I’m so thankful that after 50 years I found out how to play this. Thank you so much!! Btw, I’m 67.

[@kingrobert1st]

Same here...always wondered what tuning Steven was using. I got so many songs from the 70's off yt and quite often from young musicians who weren't even concieved when we were listening to them!

[@benyoung552]

Marty, I’ve learned 4 different songs that I’ve always wanted to play in less than 40 minutes because of the way you explain it in such an easy to learn way… Thank you! I think this one will take a little longer for me than the others, but I already have the gist of the intro within the first few minutes… I can’t believe I’m actually playing this song!!!

[@jajs283]

Marty I have always loved this song. Always thought it was out of my ability. 60 years old and I’m learning it now. Thank you so much. I’m in the process at 60 learning all of the songs I always wanted to learn. It seems to be helping my fingers limber up some. Thanks again for your gift.

[@uelisgold]

My turn...I almost got this!!

[@E-BikingAdventures]

I'm 54, and now everytime I learn a new song, I can't remember how to play it 3 months later.

[@uelisgold]

@@E-BikingAdventures that just means that you keep learning new songs all the time. Life is full of options.

[@shawnchadwick4943]

I am so happy you did this today. I have been listening to this song and unable to play it for good god 40 years. My eyes are tearing up. Thank you so much for teaching this song. This has inspired my guitar playing. Please do more CSNY when you can, this is wonderful.

[@user-yh9ls1po6t]

Absolutely one of my favorites … got through the whole lesson after the 4th round. This was a gift. Thanks Marty!

[@justinblack5474]

@fatmancross where in central coast are you located? I spent a lot of years in SLO And neighboring towns and always enjoyed the local live music scene in the whole county. Where Do You normally play live most often? Maybe I’ll catch you one of these days. Perhaps I already have seen you play but we’ll never know! 😝 cheers and keep shredding my friend!

[@TheGuitarMan71]

This is Amazing. Keep the CSN AND Y COMING!!!!!!!!!!!! The genius of Stephen Stills!

[@MichaelAnderson-nh4gu]

That was so great, I can listen to you all day. When you added the harmonic on the 12th fret just made the whole section better. Thank you so much for the lessons.

[@Mikebooky]

Marty, I watch and learn from many of your lessons. For me, this made what sounded like an impossible song understandable. Thanks!

[@rodterrell304]

This song reminds me of hanging out with my brother back in the 70's . Thanks for posting this and making it so easy to learn. God Bless ya!

Great work Marty; thanks for helping me make sense of such an iconic track

Thanks Marty. One of my all-time favorite CSN songs that I’ve learned to play and forgotten a few times over the years. Your lesson for this one is the best on KZbin - there are only two others I’ve found that are close. Peace, and thanks for all you do.

You really know how to put it together quickly and let the student JAM ON! When I get it down I will send it to you. Thanks Again, Marty. Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year!

[@johnjaszcz2191]

Thanks Marty! great video! answered all my questions about this song.

[@tessamarie21]

Stephen Stills and CSN's songs were one of the main reasons I was just itching to pick up a guitar and learn...my Dad played guitar and drums, so naturally since birth I was exposed to music, a little purple guitar all I could do was strum and instruments, bands he was in, and guitar centers and loved it. And then he passed when I was seven, and all of that went away and it took years and wasn't just until 2020~2021 that I found myself again, pretty much through music, I believe; and having my grandpa's old classical guitar and being very new to the guitar realm, knowing only three basic chords in standard, of course this was the song I had to learn first and this was the video I pulled up three years ago, and played a little bit of and then decided it was too hard, and gave up on it, and went back to standard basic stuff. I've been playing ever since then, crazy into guitar and all it's glory~I got a strat model in '22 and present day: I thought I'd pull this video up and actually learn it this time and floated through it like a breeze!!! a younger me would be proud, i think~ and I seem to forget that. And I laugh now, remembering how the harmonic on the twelfth blew my mind, and now it's just a frequent thing. Marty was THE guy, those first two years of my playing~ and helped me so much!! Thank you so much, Marty!!❤🤘🏼

Marty, Thank you for ALL the input. You have made my life as an entertainer so much easier. You mentioned your Dad at the beginning of this video and "Guy Schwartz" popped into my head. He wrotre some Lead sheets for me in 1978 in Houston. Circles huh? He may not be your Dad but it popped into my head AND I wanted to thank you twice for all the cool stuff you've shown me. One day I'm gonna buy something. No really!!
