[@irchristo]

Yes. What Josef Inigo said.

[@edworrell8195]

Thanks!

[@davisvb]

Super quick and easy. I'm liking your looping/repeating on the song progression. It's the perfect amount of detail in the beginning and then constant repeat to practice in time with you. Thank you!

[@davisvb]

The most challenging part was the beginning... when it became easy is when i decided to use my pinky finger for the hammer on and remove it from my D minor chord. Now i've nailed it. Just needed to commit on which way I was going to do it.

[@robertodix2435]

Hello Marty i am French "no body is perfect" ich time I discover your work, I 'am amazed by the qualities of your teaching thank' for that

[@mr.yellowstrat3352]

you taught me the solo to this years ago... I still play it the same way.. of course with a little improv. but it's cool too see you doing all over again. don't give up. YOU... ARE... the best Guitar Sensei

Where did you start?

[@neilkorsgaard]

Marty, you are just the best teacher. The way you patiently break it down is just awesome:

[@persalba]

What an amazing gift to know how to teach! Marty is the best!

[@MartyMusic]

thanks so much Farid!

[@irchristo]

Agree. Not rushed. Understands the difficulty of each measure and takes his time to really show it to you so that you can get it. I agree, gifted but with huge heart for teaching and for this medium. No wonder he's millions of followers...

[@Rawan-kd9vq]

اهلاً فريد

[@johnadams2014]

Marty I have followed your lessons and postings for more than 5 years now. You are awesome and Layla is one of my favourite songs of all time. Thanks so much from the UK

[@fordmustanggtish]

Thanks Marty! I picked up my guitar for the first time in a long time and learned this lesson and you are giving me ambition to get back into it!

[@riffdigger2133]

One of the best lessons with such clarity on the song structure. On the C chord, 1st position or barre, both work-yet on later videos you can spot Clapton gracefully using a C Add9. Middle-A3, Index -D2, Ring B3. I kind of like working the Bb barre chord with Index-A1, Ring D3, Pinkie-G3 just to get all the strings ringing perfectly even though other barres are suitable as Marty demonstrates. EDIT -One the Bb barre, going back how Eric does it, Index on A1, pinkie barring D3&G3. Then the Cadd9 and back to Marty’s perfect Dm chord. Ah, satisfaction. Whew!

[@ianphillips1783]

Just started guitar again after 15-20 years. Recommended Marty by a guitar mate. Bloody marvelous. Great presentation, humour, ‘upbeat-ness’. Recently read a quote by Einstein; “if you can’t explain something to a six-year old, you don’t understand it yourself”. Well done Marty! I feel like a very accomplished six-year old:). Keep it up

[@tadkingsbury9364]

Excellent teacher,,,,,doesn't burden you with too much b.s......get's right to the meat of the matter and his voice is pleasant to listen to...........he has a gift for teaching and knows his business.....HIGHLY recommended......

Thanks Marty I've been a thrashing round on a guitar for years not really making progress but a new Taylor gs mini and your lessons are working wonders never thought I'd get anywhere near playing Layla or any of the other stuff you're demonstrating your making a 51 year old very happy thanks again !

[@pauljones5859]

Marty, just want to say that after 45 years of playing in a band, I have lost my hearing and have a cochlear implant. So I have problems picking out notes and keys etc. I am playing a lot from memory so your videos are great for breaking down songs for playing.I appreciate the time that you take to explain the songs and helps me a great deal as I dont wont to stop playing. Many thanks, PJ

[@Candywarhol]

Please do George Harrison's 'Blow Away' or 'Dream Away'

[@opalivy739]

Marty, you are the absolute best guitar instructor. I played this song without a struggle. I'm playing so many of your song tutorials. Thanks

[@Dr.Pepperdave]

Oh yeah, me too...

[@fragman123xx]

Thanks for the simple and straight to the point tutorial. You inspired me to learn the song beyond the intro. Marty you should add a logo water mark to your channel which will appear in the bottom right corner of your videos. It looks really cool, raises awareness and perception of your brand visually and ppl will be able to subscribe when clicking it. Also when you get the time you should add a more detailed and unique description for each video so that they index better and therefore broaden your potential audience. Also maybe add more relevant and broad keywords for the video when uploading (I can't see if you've done it already so I apologize). Right now if I conduct a search for Layla guitar tutorial your video doesn't appear in the first 4 pages of google search results. Just trying to be helpful.

It took me three days just to learn the intro 😂😂😂😂

[@BenjaminYoung-j7d]

Forget my comment on the short reels… you took us all the way through it. Thanks! Like your style, no nonsense vibe.

[@Sadc0m]

I am 100% convinced that when I learn to play this song, women will hear it from miles away and start flocking to my location in hopes of mating with me. Thats how I see it.

[@williamblair9597]

Make sure you've got a good water hose hooked up so you can hose off the front porch when they come for the Big Dog playing Layla.

Hi Marty, I have come back to the guitar after a 20 year long break. Whenever I want to practice a song I like first I go to your channel. If I can't find it there I give up and rather find another song:-) Simply explained, precise and fun. Thanks a lot

[@raphII2]

Could you please do the solo to the song :)

[@tsunamihippo]

Raph ll he has already done the solo on a different channel a while back called guitar jamz. Just type in Eric Clapton Layla acoustic solo lesson and it's the one by guitar jamz with 820K views. It's how i learnt to play it.

[@glenngay9380]

wow - I can't read music, notes, or tab. I have been playing guitar for a long time now, but everything I know or play is usually by ear. I even play chords I don't know the name of because I cannot read scales either...lol 15 - 20 minutes on this video and I can play Layla including those notes here and there to make it sound awesome...a real great teacher can make anybody grasp and understand chord progression without even trying...that is exactly what you have done here Marty. I am pumped to check out more of your lessons - thanks a heap!!

Most epic guitar instructor on KZbin. Sincere thanks man, you've been a huge help to somebody who's never taken legit lessons, you make it all look easier than it is lol, but you make it seem possible and have so many great songs, and the way you explain it is better than anybody else. I hate those videos where they just keep talking, just get to the playing and move through it! You also do a great job explaining the theory or how a certain skill is applicable to other styles or songs. I sincerely hope you're getting paid well off of all this
