[@goobular3161]

Marty did you like thee oh sees? Can you make some how to?

[@lloydbradly307]

Hey, how do you only target 3 strings without buzzing other ones?

[@briankruesi6484]

Marty I love your courses. Please make a Funk/Soul course.

[@chrishitchner6826]

Your the greatest man I started playing when you did don't speak like 10 years ago if not for your videos I'd be at it alone thank homie

[@tansingh9538]

I hate all these ads that say I'm wasting my time watching videos on youtube on how to play guitar. Nah dude, I'm watching the best teacher on the site lol

[@ryanbright7496]

I hate it too. I say to myself, "Ignore and carry on."

[@heyitsvonage2768]

Like 80% of the time when I watch one of Marty’s videos I come away with something I can make use of forever.

[@lightyearbeats6826]

Agreed👍

[@TunaMayoInumaki]

Best teacher on site? That’ll be Carl Brown

[@YungTrinidad407]

Forreal I grew up on Marty and grew as a musician 🙂

[@elvisa.presley9652]

Play that funky music white boy

[@agtrst]

Nobody's ever called me a Funk-a-teer before. Thanks to Marty, I am one now! Great lesson on funk technique. We appreciate what you do.

[@RC32Smiths01]

I feel as Marty is one of the best sources for Blues and Funk! Cheers for the lesson as always man

[@milanherich4169]

ehm, did you forget about Justin???

[@RC32Smiths01]

@@milanherich4169 I said ONE of the best. Justin is as well phenomenal

[@Streetpissa]

my man Marty taught me all the chords i know

[@roohdarX]

Marty has been spreading joy through his lessons for so long. Can't begin to appreciate how much my levels have gone up just from practicing his videos once a week. Truly amazing dedication from this guy!

[@jasoneverich8284]

What I appreciate about Marty Music is that he has a genuine personality.

[@nigelgarland8468]

I've spent months trying to play some funk, 2 mins on here and nailed it. So easy to follow you as you dont stop playing when your explaining. Great stuff

[@Deepakkumar-bl4ge]

Superb teaching. You are a great teacher. Your way of explaining even the most difficult things in a very easy manner is exemplary.

[@WillsJazzLoft]

And bringing In the 'bottom' strings is definitely a funky piece of work. Like you said it adds texture.

[@dodaning]

you're a teacher, I've been following you since 2012 thanks for helping me play better funk

[@KozmykJ]

I finally got reunited with my pedals after everything being in storage for 7 months. Moving into my new place I got my music stuff in a little at a time. Brilliant timing for your Funk show. Got me motivated. That and some looping tips from That Pedal Show. Had to relearn the RC-3 operations; been so long I'd forgotten. Stuck a little 4 bar funk groove in it (2 parts) and Meant to jam lead all over it. Instead I stumbled upon a load of double stop stuff and sliding broken chords that I'd not put together before. Okay AND a bit of mindless lead too … I learned that little E6 thing when Blow By Blow came out, but never really did a lot with it other than "You Know What I mean" As a lifelong bass player I'm really enjoying my discoveries in the realm of the thin string guitar. Looping is So immediate in giving you something to play against whether writing, practising or just noodling. How did we ever manage before without them ? Oh! I remember. Lot's of scratched records from fumbling to get the needle back at the right place in the track …. Thanks mate

[@JustSomeGuy]

Oh my god. Three minutes in, and Marty's fixed my problem. I thought I WASN'T supposed to pick up the rhythm from the bass and drums, but just stick to the 16-note groove. But no, it sounds better if you follow the rhythm.

[@erniedlt1942]

I totally loved that lesson. Thank you so much. Love the fUnK!!

[@Fll3VY]

finally bought my first guitar! youre a joy to watch and make me feel like i could play anything i put my mind too!! thanks for the inspiration dude!! 👌🏻

[@Fll3VY]

@Christian Arreola cheers dude!! 👊🏻

[@jahsehmerlijn8235]

its 4 years since this comment!! do you still play??? :))))

[@denisblack9897]

i was just effing around and suddenly made this distinct james brown thing and here i am getting all the 'other parts' of this thing! thank you so much!

[@GD22xl18]

On a strat bridge and middle pick up together sound so good for funk!

[@tonydinapoli7032]

What a GREAT lesson! You never cease to amaze with your playing. Thanks Marty

[@AlonzoWhite]

I loved your Al McKay (EWF Fame) shout out! One of my favorite rhythm G-players!! Great Funk lesson. You do it all!!

[@WillsJazzLoft]

This represents a noble effort in coordination for me. But with consistent practice I think that I can get it together. Thanks Marty

[@dadjams4476]

Keep it funky Marty! Great lesson!

[@kevinkeegan1357]

Yes!!! Possibly my favourite video you've posted (and that's saying something)! Thank you Marty and more funk videos please!!!

[@booster.production3184]

Marty your so amazing! Whenever i search for something to play on guitar, you always show up! You actually taught me my first guitar lesson!

[@kaidemen156]

I appreciate everything you share with us, I’ve been playing for awhile now but am always open to learning more from others. Keep the vids coming!

[@christopherrousseau889]

Marty is hands down the best YT guitar instructor, I've been learning from him for about 10 years now, great lesson!

[@burgessfrederick2]

Great teacher!!!

[@garytrent1]

Great lesson thanks

[@motivatedbuilder7227]

Love you bro..you are a great teacher...i still remember back on 2012 i watched one of your lessons regarding minor pentatonic scales used in blues jam, Still i use those techniques in my playing.😊😊😊

[@RoneySmithseedoflife]

Thanks for this FUNKY GOLD BRICK!

[@bleizhyland1516]

Man I have advanced so much over the year just watching your videos, full support and I know you want as much support as you can!

[@bigsidable]

Growing up listening to soul music always loved the funk guitar. But fell in love with Rock and Roll and screaming guitars. Just this week was working on James Brown. Why Jimi Hendrix had such funky electric riffs. Right on bro.

[@jimwarner8071]

Your best Funk lesson ever. Thx!

[@pixelninja666]

Brilliant lesson, thanks Marty. You have an old punk rocker funking out!

[@shayh.3556]

Thank you Marty for the dedication to us

[@aaaaxial]

Thank you Marty. You are amazing. I have never seen someone break down funk into such logical pieces before. Cheers. Keep on rocking.

[@teeveee841]

I saw Martin at NAMM and was too shy to ask for a picture but then I saw him get out From where he was playing guitar snd was walking towards me and that’s when I said hi and he took a picture with me and my gf. Best experience. I’ve been wanting to learn funk too! Thanks!

[@avatar90404]

Keep the funk coming Marty...I would definitely buy a premium funk course from you....

[@JayChrissiJay]

[@urbanoramos5229]

Marty the secret to play funk is keep the strumming hand as relax as possible,that's why I can't do it ,great lesson as always

[@garnzaonthenet]

The best such an inspiration this man.

[@Allways1111]

[@Chip_57]

[@YungTrinidad407]

I grew up on Marty and grew as a musician 🙂

[@boomtap7554]

Fun stuff! Thanks Marty!

[@AntonioLopez-mj7xk]

A really taste one... I appreciate this lesson.

[@colenewman5489]

so helpful man all of your videos are

[@ficothecroatianrocker]

I'm glad you did this lesson, I like funk but I've never tried to play much funk, this lesson might change that

[@JesusSaves-007]

My God I learned so much from this lesson. Thank you so much Marty!

[@rockypolidoro5624]

Incredible lesson. Marty has one of the best (if not the best) teaching methods I have come across. It’s like learning from a friend only better.

[@derpnerpwerp]

Why are my hands so small!?? Marty is just like "and you got your pinky that can just reach down here to the 9th fret" and I'm sitting here struggling to even mute the low E playing the first chord.. like o_O..

[@bryanlancy4109]

Thank you so much Marty always wanted to learn this

[@djautotur4875]

FINALLY, I’ve been waiting for so long but the marty schwartz god has heard my prayers

[@GameBoyToast]

Marty always be slappin' on his videos🎸 Incredible!

[@garychen483]

I’m building some the funk feelings. Thanks to the awesome video 👍!

[@killasynnaact8819]

Thanks for the tutorial Marty! I have been subscribed since you had 500k, I have learned a lot of songs from your tutorials

[@aarnlewis]

Great lesson! This might sound basic to some but I always thought the muting for funk came from my strumming hand. When Marty showed you do it with the fretting hand I was like "that's how you do it!!"

[@Timjstewart]

Marty, thanks for the inspiring licks!

[@christopherholmes2272]

That was fun, look forward to trying it out.

[@accordingtotodd]

Missed you at NAMM! Thank you for the high end, easy to understand lessons.
