stevie ray and jimi really opened my mind to the possibilities of how the blues can sound. there are really no boundaries with how you want it to sound once you learn it

Most rock is based on the blues, folks. Even today. Learn your blues basics.

[@MartyMusic]

I would have to agree with that

[@MartyMusic]

[@utube2295]

​@@MartyMusic yea like jimi ⚡😎

[@Rob-on-the-Road]

I thought you would have shown the sliding D7 turnaround and sliding the B7 down a fret and back quite easy too. 😁

[@snezanatopic1846]

Marty is abosolutely legdend, I would like to explain with a little more detail how to bend a string to not delibertaly catch next string

[@MartyMusic]

Thanks so much

[@utube2295]

Legend indeed 🔊👍

[@TheDailyGnarticle]

Look up a couple videos on bends specifically and then keep practicing those. I had to cut the nails on my fretting hand quite short too to minimize the catching

[@splashesin8]

🔥💫💥✨✨Thanks Marty❣️😎

[@LilFuwatti]

Hey Marty! Long time fan, I’ve learnt lots of my skills from you, can I ask what settings you use on your boss katana for this tutorial? Thanks. 🤘🏻

[@Ellie-Wallis]

Hey Marty I love your videos! Could you do a tutorial on Wolf Like Me, the Lera Lynn cover? It's a super cool song, and I recommend checking it out.

Roots baby ...and watch that tree grow 🍀

[@koosfender6793]

Hi Marty,can you show the fantastic song by Jimma Lafave called ,Leslie,talk to me!That would be fantastic,tnx and cheers from Amsterdam/Koos

[@davelackey5943]

It would always be nice to know to get that tone that you have on any of your lessons. What settings would you have and what equipment?

[@degerdi]

Blues sound is just delay, reverb, and turn the bass on the guitar all the way down

[@KomboAndy]

I'd say it's slightly crunched, eq wise it seems to be pretty balanced, maybe a little emphasis on the highs and mids. I also think he uses a little bit of reverb but that could also be the room.

[@MartyMusic]

Eq is all at halfway up, I use an overdrive pedal with gain about halfway up as well. Some reverb and a little splash of delay

[@gmoose6112]

You are awesomesauce

[@sherlockholmes374]

I have a question. I have an western acoustic guitar at home and want to invest in an electric guitar. I'm thinking about buying a modelling guitar, because it seems to be able to imitate lots of different sounds and costs about the same as a normal electric guitar. Is there a downside to that or is that a smart approach?

[@haroldsanchez8235]

Buenos Días brother Marty I hope you’re having a great day . I just visited your store and I am looking for a good CD lesson for lead guitar for our have problems playing chords because of my short stubby fingers I do better with licks and lead. Can you please recommend a lesson thanks for your time, God bless you.🙏🏽
