Thanks for supporting! Also tons of great FREE courses at my site www.MartyMusic.com

[@tsakouannam3826]

Marty Music hey Marty!!!Can you please do a lesson for the song "Misirlou"?PLEASE🙏🙏🙏❤Thank you anyway!

[@brookmotty6633]

Marty Music please please please do a tutorial for escape the Pina Colada Song

[@arieldargy3482]

Marty please you lesson to nirvana silver please

[@bobsenior9876]

Marty Music thank you Marty! Now I can play one of my favorite dead songs 😊

[@tomashamudis5307]

Great video Marty thanks

[@MrWhitewolven]

You couldn't make enough dead lessons. The more the better .

[@grantwaller7459]

MrWhitewolven he needs more!

[@musicman76]

I definitely agree

[@erikhendrickson59]

Getchur fingerstyle practice in! I'm still shit at finger picking and usually just give up and play with a pick~ Still sounds good but doesn't have that Garcia flare, that's for sure.

[@JordieFilip]

yes!

[@paulgordon6949]

Indeed!

[@MrDMF567]

This is one of the most addicting songs in the history of music. Such a cool groove

[@Elijah.L.1971]

These dead tutorials are my favorite. I liked you as a teacher before I knew you liked the dead, then when I found out you are a dead head I've been a big fan. Been watching since the last channel

[@matthewcraig8926]

Althea is such a catchy groove. Thanks for the lesson Marty. May the Schwartz be with you.

[@ZAZ3297]

Whenever I picked my guitar I like to warm up with this riff.

[@erikhendrickson59]

Jerry Garcia was such an underrated guitarist. Love playin' this song!

[@erikhendrickson59]

@John Waller very few people I've talked to, even other gutair players, ever cite Garcia as "one of the greats." He kinda flies under the radar a bit for anyone who's not dead head. Even more so Bob Weir.

[@sandalnice3333]

The dead in general are underrated in my opinion

[@JoshLousk]

did garcia write this part or weir? jerry ofc plays lead on the recording and the live versions

[@ksarecords8099]

​@@JoshLouskGarcia-Hunter wrote it I believe

[@Winter_-bq9bq]

@@ksarecords8099 yeah bob wrote some others, one of my favorites by Bob is Jack Straw

[@yougotdirked]

The Dead are one of the reasons I started playing a couple of months ago. Thank you!

[@RC32Smiths01]

Ahh another awesome lesson! The Grateful dead rule!

[@omgkennyisliving]

Dude thanks for always putting out lessons for entire songs for free 🙌

[@clintlightfoot2852]

You rock Marty. One of my favorite songs since I was 15. Purchased “without a net” and heard Althea for the first time and fell in love this haunting piece of art.

[@alexander_winston]

I told Marty I was feeling lost, Lacking in some direction... Marty told me upon scrutiny, That my back might need protection....

[@The-11]

....upon scrutiny, that I might need to practice.

[@alexander_winston]

Well played!

[@builderphill1361]

Marty told me upon scrutiny, that my picking might need direction

[@erikhendrickson59]

More like: Marty told me upon scrutiny, That my fingerpickin' might need some lessons...

[@tkfire8851]

Can you do Terrapin Station next please Marty!!!

[@greenbatgordan659]

TK FIRE Marty yes please

[@steveshaw5459]

Hhey Marty from st. Joe missouri. I just wanted to thank you for ALL YOUR GUITAR VIDEOS some of us old poops still love our guitars but don't have the chops to play as well as we'd like or should after 50 yrs of playing. I love GRATEFUL DEAD TUNES....ALRHEA IS ONE OF MY FAVE TUNES OF ALL TIME...TAKE IT EASY. HAVE A GRATEFUL DAY

[@showmemagik1541]

Thank you Marty. I found myself playing this before watching the full video. All down to the hours I've spent watching your videos. Thankyou for your time and dedication

[@sophiahambuda8258]

I started the courses at Marty music and they are so good. Can't way to dig deeper once I get my first electric ever!

[@captainkangaroo4301]

One of the best songs of all time.

[@chrisdurham6517]

Awesome! Like other tunes, I think that I've been playing this one for years - but you always bring in new details to the mix. Thanks again! And here's my yearly, shameless plug for a Jack Straw lesson. Take care out there.

[@johnlagreca6288]

Adding comment. This is a great song (always liked and respected it, but never knew how much it could teach me) and a great chord/picking lesson. Move that starting E riff up to the 7th fret on the A string at times and have an embellishment journey. So good, thanks Marty.

[@winters3675]

you have saved me so much money by just being able to go on youtube and learn so many songs instead of taking lessons. I can't thank you enough. you're amazing! keep it up!

[@sophiahambuda8258]

Here before Marty's comment!! Love this song and lesson. Thank you. Learning so much from you.

[@streetvan1997]

So glad as a amateur guitarist we live in a time tabs and videos to play my favorite songs are easily availabke . Like Althea which is easily one of my fav songs ever. While the chords are fun what really keeps me going is wanting to be able to play lead sections of these songs, some are simple and can figure out and memorize like the lead section of loser, but songs like midnight moonlight you gotta know music theory more which is tough at that level, so many diff guitar scales, it's overwhelming, I'm 38, hopefully someday will be able to, wish more videos showed lead sections of Jerry songs. Some are out there.

[@brendanfoxley366]

i was so happy when i saw that you teach this song on your channel. It's so hard to find good grateful dead tutorials on youtube.

[@Sleeman88888]

Love your Grateful Dead lessons! Thanks.

[@qjarman7753]

Another awesome lesson thanks Marty… always loved this tune and will enjoy noodling with it for hours on end thanks to you 👍

[@ryanstitt4814]

Woah! I was trying to learn this one after going a dead and company concert recently couldn't find any good tabs!! Thank you!

[@jontaylor1048]

Been watching you videos for a year or so now. Althea lesson made me subscribe. Thank you so much!

[@matthewlipari8508]

Thanks again for breaking it down Marty. Another great lesson!!

[@barbaratea4701]

I have been watching your videos for about ten years now and I really appreciate all you thanks so much!!!

[@The-11]

Thanks for the lesson! Everyone seems to play Althea a bit different but you take the time to go through it all ,changes and accents. Thanks again!

[@keegangendron9639]

Marty!! Awesome lesson - please do the Althea solo! You’d be the only one on KZbin with a beginner friendly walkthrough of it

[@whoiscreeO]

Thank you! Please do more dead!

[@MrRabidchipmunk69]

Hey Marty I just wanna say thanks for all the great content. You basically taught me how to play guitar.

[@spiksta21]

Yes!!! Those who ask shall receive!

[@daviddemar8749]

Please do estimated prophet including the solo :-)

[@zany_zombie7276]

As always, fun to play and sounds great. Thank you marty

[@nackrains]

Hey Marty, just wanted to say thank you. Just started playing about 6 months ago and I can already play a couple songs just from watching your videos. I'll through in a request for you also - Iration - Falling. Thanks again!

[@Ak1rosan]

Thank you for showing me this song and grateful dead !!

[@jacobdesersa6765]

I’ve never been so happy to find a video in my life ♥️

[@Television.skiess]

Thank you for providing a deadhead with his favorite song

[@davecuttell3924]

You're the man Marty! See you at the next Dead and Company show here in SD!

[@Man-lg5xp]

I love this song! I never thought you would do a lesson on it though

[@bayareablues2255]

Thanks Marty! After that little tease of Althea the other day, it's great to see a lesson from you. Great video!

[@johnlagreca6288]

Thanks Marty. So much room for extrapolation on this one, fun stuff.

[@mr.gilbert2790]

Such a badass song honestly. Even the bloody singing, it goes so hard

[@guybrushthreepwood8174]

one of my favorite dead songs. Thank you

[@PP-ul7bt]

[@sackman03]

Thanks Marty. Love this tune and I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work man!

[@kdaadventures8616]

Thank you for this. Great song. I have learned so much from your channel.

[@jcburger733]

Thanks for another incredible lesson Marty!!! I think I am all caught up from when I was away ;-)

[@bayareablues2255]

Thanks for the great lesson, Marty. I used this as my first hybrid picking song. Now I feel like a badass!

[@skyemontana2640]

Can't go wrong with dead lessons !

[@scootersixstring]

Love this lesson. Such a sweet tune. Marty for President 2020!

[@fusrogames3274]

amazing!!! I knew how to play it beforehand but I really wanted to hear you do it and I ain't sad!!

[@user-kh1mu2yw7f]

Can you do the solo Marty? More dead lessons! Soloing would be so sick

[@kyleliberatore3973]

Really great vid. Learned it in a week because of this

[@angelaclavey]

Love your stuff, can you do New Speedway Boogie, from the Workingman’s Dead album next!

[@telefrk49]

Great lesson Marty, exactly what i was looking for!! Thank you!

[@chapinandersen]

Thank you so much. Probably most favorite grateful dead tune

[@musicman76]

Could you do maybe a solo lesson on Althea too. This undoubtedly my favorite Dead song of all time.

[@joy-of-chemotaxis]

Go see Jacksnax. He nails Jerry like no one else - even adds flavors that'd make Jerry proud: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIPUY6Fti5plf6Msi=fr9CSEZ9CXWZz9UM

[@themadlooper3272]

Awesome lesson. I figured out my own embellishments that I could handle as a noodler and even dibble dabbled playing it with power chords which can actually be done pretty decent once I figure out how to get the Asus thingy in there. Open chords still sound a little better but it was fun to play around with it.

[@evantaneff6063]

Awesome. You should do more dead song tutorials

[@UItimateGuitarCovers]

Neatly at a million sub, well done, you deserve it xx

[@iommic7981]

are you a fellow Dedhead, Marty? :o

[@MartyMusic]

indubitably

[@mattdelcour8950]

If I could like this a million times I would. Thank you I’m eternally grateful✌️❤️💀

[@JKFlaker]

I'm up to the "Da Dee Baa Bo" at the 9:54 mark, or is it "Da Dee Blah Bo?" Marty your're Awesome!!!

[@kayo9469]

So close to 1 mill!

[@beefsoda1]

Marty you teach every song i love. Thanks bro!

[@Nick-et1gv]

I already know how to play this song but I’m so fucking happy you released this

[@ludomirsteinbruck9376]

Great Lesson as always, Marty. It's cool to see finger picking. If I could wish one Grateful Dead Song, it would be Scarlet Begonias.

[@GangsterGaryda3rd]

You’re the raddest dude alive Marty 🤙🏽

[@MartyMusic]

You rock!

[@greenbatgordan659]

The solo from this would be aweome as well

[@gumtree7177]

We love this song by GD always been great 👍🏻

[@jeremywalls82]

Marty! You’ve taught me so much! Thanks!

[@brintparks4895]

Damn Marty you scared the shit out of me on the intro when you started talking!!! shit BUT Thank You for breaking the song down! Nailed it. Thanks

[@brooklynneconstantino1259]

Great lesson Marty! I would love more Green Day

[@branksonplays8455]

Fuck i think ive been sibscribed for about 4 months now. I have been playing for six. I learned soooo much from this channel. This has been such great help everytime i want to learn a song

[@banksjrj921ln]

Oh yes I love this one thanks once again Marty for another great lesson

[@roytube10]

Marty does it again

[@elliotheg]

I love this!

[@matthewmorrow6759]

Could you do the Mexican by Babe Ruth, especially the part around 3:40 in

[@thomasrichmond601]

Wanted to comment couple days ago, to say thanks for the lesson ✌️

[@pedro4858]

PLEASE MAKE A TUTORIAL FOR JP SAXE THE FEW THINGS! Love ya marty!

[@6furio7]

Nice playing, and very helpful tutorial!👍🏻 thanks

[@adamzelevski2111]

One of my favorite tunes of all time. Can you do a Chalk dust torture lesson?

[@certifiednoob8809]

Hell yea! Grateful dead! can you do eyes of the world next?

[@Peace_froog]

Your videos r great. Thank you for what's you doing

[@romanferguson4032]

can anyone recommend more lessons like this? i really dig the finger style electric play like this song, and like chord style with embellishments. what other songs are like this? preferably marty lessons :)

[@davidmugglebee523]

Roman, check out Marty’s Harvest Moon by Neil Young. Beautiful song with great embellishments and you can practice harmonics ✌🏼

[@RHCPndRATM]

Marty can you do lessons for "Spirit of the Radio" and " red barchetta" both by Rush

[@Anthony-kp2cd]

Great tutorial! Brown eyed woman next Dead song please !!!

[@citrix99301]

Great lesson! It sounds like you're swinging the beat in the A part.

[@jaybird2299]

Thanks for the lesson Marty

[@Paddlegrass]

Nice! Id love to see a Roundabout by Yes lesson :)

[@michaelpayne2799]

Awesome vid! more dead!

[@Yessssz]

Just awesome Marty. Any chance for the Althea solo from Nassau 80?🤞😀

[@EmR1001]

about time!!! Amazing job marty

[@dong4176]

I learn this one from Ian stitch😎..good job Marty

[@soupkitchen72]

Awesome tutorial. How about a Music Never Stopped tutorial for your next Grateful Dead video? That song is a mystery for Marty!

[@75cpla]

Great as always Marty, Legend!

[@adamdabomb1113]

Amazing!! Thank you, Marty!

[@adamdabomb1113]

You did amazingly well with explaining the riffs. Thank you!

[@PedroMidwest]

Avid fan and subscriber Marty. Do you think you could do more of the lead part of Althea? Other lessons online get bogged down in Dorian and Myxolydian. I think you could light this one up, especially since you're obviously a deadhead.
