Kind of actually true

[@seanb2108]

Ok marty. This is just creepy. I am fully convinced you can read my mind

[@the_original_Bilb_Ono]

Im not joking yesterday's video was Cult Of Personality and i was driving home and that song came on the radio. So obviously i turned it up to max volume and thought "man, i got to look up the tabs to this when i get home!" When i went to look it up i saw Marty had posted a tutorial on it. Freaking creepy coincidence.

[@benmancais7133]

I ain’t kidding I was thinking I wish there was a Marty video for this song and half and hour later this showed up

[@Sh-ws5jd]

Same omg 🤯🤯

[@rexeverything100]

Here's a twist you read Marty's mind.

[@paterson90]

Same, I actually looked up the tabs a few days ago, and now this video came out Lol!

I’m not saying this is the best opening riff ever but it’s not NOT the best opening riff ever.

[@vautrain]

I think I’d be fully satisfied with my guitar playing if I could master this song. It’s one of the top songs of the soundtrack of my teenage years. I just love it, and Mark’s tone and riffs still blow me away. Thanks for posting it, Marty!

[@monkeyhammock6233]

Money for Nothing and Can’t You Hear Me Knockin are probably my two favorite opening riffs ever

[@Dz-5150]

[@dead_kobaaa2536]

Every single guitarist on earth wishes they were cool enough to have written this riff. Legit prolly the greatest riff of all time

Props for the effort to add chapters to your tutorials. I just noticed them although the channel may have had them for awhile... its little stuff like that which makes this the best tutorial channel. Beato is probably the best theory channel. And samurai guitarist is the best samurai guitarist channel.

[@penguiwowl2995]

Why did Marty upload this video when so many people were learning it just before? This is scary. Merry Christmas by the way

[@maddiesera7015]

I was literally thinking about learning this song while listening to it yesterday- fully convinced Marty is a mind reader

[@MaynardOwns]

This is one of those show me the notes and I’ll have to feel it out myself kind of songs.

[@T.williz]

I'm so glad there's no bar chords involved in this I'm terrible at bar chords hopefully I can get it down soon

[@cynthiak3376]

Keep work'n it, you'll get it! I promise! But make sure your guitar is set up and the action is set. And it helps if you are playing 09's.... 💖

[@derickcarneiro6090]

Marty - thank you for the zillion guitar lessons...each one of them so well done !!! it helps intermediate guitar players like me to understand and learn songs that we never ever dreamt of even attempting to try ! You rock ! Any way you can do a DS lesson on Water Of Love - Acoustic version and decipher the Dobro signature licks of this beautiful song on a simple Acoustic guitar ? I believe if there is ONE guy who can help us with that, it has to be YOU Marty ! :-). Thanks Marty.

[@mdfawzulhamid3005]

THAT'S THE WAY YOU DO IT

[@joeclark7298]

This song just has so much forward momentum to it. It's like a freight train of energy

[@billsmith1669]

Thanks Marty for all the great, detailed lessons. One thing I would like would be if at the beginning of the lesson you discussed your equipment setup to get the sound for the song.

[@theadventuresofpugslyandbu6207]

its his secret

[@Hamserto]

I haven't watched the full video yet so I don't know if you talk about it, but I would be interested in the Katana settings for this tone. Thanks for your great work.

[@darkknightnate]

Man, that is the best lesson for that riff I've seen. Such a tough one to nail down. You did a remarkable job with it!

[@srfhdx5584]

I could’ve done with this video in April when i was just starting out. Money for nothin was the first song i learned

I'm at this point in my playing, you got me started, and I figured the rest out while I paused the video.

[@lone-wolf-1]

Thank you Marty for this awesome lesson! 👍🏼🤝🏼 As an over middle aged and self taugt at guitar, I needed over one hour to get it down, but from here on it needs practice for smoother fluidity and the right groove.

[@cementheed]

That's pretty good! This is probably one of the hardest riffs to play, it's very iconic, but also very weird.

[@jonsouders4916]

[@anthonyrossmaund3161]

Thank you Marty, your a blessing to us who cannot afford a good guitar teacher! I started learning guitar two years ago. I'm not in it for a career but because music feels good and replaced my addiction to hard drugs. It has kept me alive and sober. Thank you for all your videos, I'm leaning and having fun, and A lot more fun than drugs!

[@jimhardister7176]

Can you please give us the settings on the Katana. It’s great to be able to play the song but even better with the correct tone!

Lol no answer lol

[@PhyrexianFleshgorger]

@@babaguitarandgaming9781 lol 😆

[@GrandaddyJeff]

Idk about the Katana settings, but cocked wah somewhere in the middle if you have a wah wah. Have to let your ears determine exactly where to let the pedal sit based on what you have...

[@mrblank-zh1xy]

Amp Type: Crunch Presence: 5 Booster: 3 Cabinet: Vintage Gain: 4 Volume: 4 Bass: 4 Treble: 5 Middle: 5 Reverb: 2 50W Work with the G Chord until you can find the breakup. You might need to play a little with Volume settings on your guitar and the head.

[@robacdc1977]

Using a cocked wah will get you in the ball park no matter what the amp settings are though! I frequently mess around with this riff on my Katana with a more Van Halen I kind of tone as a base. Roll back the volume on your guitar for a little less gain and cock the wah till you find that sound.

[@KevinORourke25]

Wow! I cannot believe that I was going to learn this song either two months ago or two months into the future! Marty you are a true clairvoyant and also a time traveler. Amazing! Kevin O'Rourke

Oh and as to "I want my MTV!" I remember when they first came on the air! "Video killed the radio star" was the very first song! Keep rock'n Marty, and I will too - age?? Ptahh!
