He has a lot of nirvana songs, but they are on a channel that he was a part of a while back (i.e. guitarjamz)

[@박지민-u8o4v]

Could you please put the chord charts for us beginners it would be of a great help really. also awsome tutos love all ur vids😃😃

[@BinhPham-yi7xc]

박지민 a guy told me that we should not use chord because it kills your imagination in music

[@brethebrat]

Binh Pham how so?

[@overtonesnteatime198]

Binh Pham yeah dont believe everything you hear. Thats very wrong info

[@BinhPham-yi7xc]

Dabs & Tea Time what to say,he is a great gutair player though

[@overtonesnteatime198]

Binh Pham everone starts somewhere. Not everyone gets the highest knowledge right from the start of their journey but as we grow and socialize our methods change. Theres not one right path but many leading to similar places. Nothing is same everyone is unique and if we dont walk the paths to get to these places this knowledge means nothing because you lack the understanding of its makeup and where its rooted.

[@Alonso-te7id]

You probably don’t realize how much you help people, this is gonna be the first song I learn. :) Thanks Marty!

​@evergreen5293 don't be such a negative wanker because we all know how well you can play. So do your friends. You constantly remind them.

[@jacobkaufman5954]

Did you learn it?

[@KRSsven]

A few observations about this song for anyone learning it: - While Kurt did play G chords like that he didn’t use his third finger much judging from the sound of the recordings and live performances. You don’t need the B string fretted in this song’s G chords. - I find the F# chord sounds more like the unplugged recording if you use: 244300 - The E at the end of the second section is the top three strings. - Play the ‘slide’ part that is on the Bleach version even acoustically, it’s incredibly easy but even Kurt often didn’t do it which makes it sound like it’s missing something. It’s literally after the E part above, sound the second string fretted at 2 then slide up to another E power chord at X7555X Also, one bit of advice I’d give a beginner is not to ‘’jump’’ between chords, especially not the Em to G. It should flow from chord to chord back and forth smoothly. If you want to see how not to do it try and watch the Puddle of Mudd guy’s cover of it (he’s also playing E not Em…but that’s only one way his version sucked).

[@Chriskamstramusic]

Awesome notes man! Very good info. And Puddle of Mud using the E instead of Em is just crazy in my mind.

[@graciekattan6618]

This is hard to understand for a beginner beginner like me 😅 what do you mean by not jumping between the chords? That’s the hardest part for me, trying to switch cords smoothly 🫠

[@JarrodBush]

He's not playing an Emaj. It's E min with the G string muted which looks like an E maj because you use your index finger to mute it.

[@paullozito5305]

Love your lessons Marty! Long time drummer who about 8 months ago wanted to do something different. Learning guitar has helped me appreciate the drums more and vice versa! You are a great instructor!

[@leebaker7693]

About 3 years ago now, this was the first lesson I watched from this guy, the first song I ever learnt. Brings back lots of happy memories. Thanks man!

This really helped! I’m in the 7th grade and I’m in a guitar class, we had to chose our own favorite songs to play for our final grades. I chose one of my favorites ofc 💕

Thank you Marty so much. I am in a guitar class and my teacher showed us the chord and you helped me fix my errors and getting the chords quicker.

[@maya_the_bee9294]

I’ve had an old guitar for like 3 years (my brother found it in a dumpster with his friend and it’s been ours ever since) and I’ve always experimented with it. I never knew any of the chords, and I even made my own system of the chords and the way things were done. I wasn’t taking it that seriously and it was more of a fun side thing I could do, until I played come as you are. If you didn’t know im a massive Nirvana fan and that was a huge deal for 13 year old me. So that’s when I started trying to watch tutorials on how to really do it right, and I realized it’s much more complicated than I thought, but I have a burning passion for it. This was the first video I watched and I ended up not stopping ever since. I’ll have to give a big thanks to this video (by the way, when I learned it I didn’t know ANY of the chords or anything, I literally just followed your exact movements and placements of ur fingers. Not to mention I didn’t have a tuner so I had to look up a e flat tuning KZbin video and base my tuning around that. It wasn’t that great LOL)

[@joeydubois]

this is litterally one of my favourite songs! by the way, your lessons have had such a improvement. not that they weren't great before :). thanks marty!

[@spaghettifiets1731]

Hey Marty, I feel like that my playing has stopped improving it feels like I have hit a brick wall and its extremely hard to break through do you have any advice or tips that will help me with this ( sorry if it sounds weird )

[@MartyMusic]

learn a new song, find a new band, take a few live private lessons, or take a week off.

[@nikoschneider4513]

Chicken Wings I had the Same with Piano, i always played classic or Pop, a Few Rock Songs that i converted in some slow piano songs ( ACDC, Nirvana etc ), After a little time i Hit that wall. Then i started to get into a completely other direction and listend to Jazz and started to play Jazz and i improved. So my advise is, learn something you are Not familiar with. A category, or an instrument. I started to learn how to olay guitar. Grab a Banjo, a bass or a concert guitar. Thats how you improve your Musical skills . Because after a While you also learn to combine your old and New style.

[@bradleys1971]

Niko Schneider mess around with the capo.new sounds motivate me

[@meteor713g]

Try getting out of your comfort zone. Otherwise, peaking from personal experience, you're probably improving more than you realize. When I listen to my recordings from a couple months ago, I realize how far I've come, even though it feels like I've stayed the same.
