Marty is still probably the best guitar teacher on KZbin. Thanks for all the lessons Marty...

[@ScienceOfTheMind]

Marty you the man. I have been playing 48 years. If I want to learn something fast I come to you man. I learned a fat load of acoustic songs from you also. Thanks brother.

[@MartyMusic]

Awesome! More Cream songs please -- as many Cream songs as you are willing to cover :)

[@bennettamplification]

Thanks as always!

[@tylerlepage8619]

Marty, first off I'd like to thank you for being my online guitar teacher for the last 3 years, your easy to follow and in depth lesson have helped me progress so much in my playing it astonishes me. Now I know it's a long shot, and im almost sure you wont get another request for this song but i think it would make a great lesson and alot of people would love to learn Crazy Rap (Colt 45) by Afro Man. There is a super awesome cover on youtube, search "crazy rap (colt 45) IMMENSE guitar cover" I've been trying to learn by watching this video but I'm having a lot of difficulty. If you could help out and put a tutorial up for that version it would be insanely helpful. thank you for everything you've done for me and my guitar and keep the great lessons coming!

[@hugolindroth9750]

Fantastic song, fantastic lesson. MORE CREAM!

[@MartyMusic]

Thanks Hugo!

[@edwardebel1847]

Totally could not get that tone…then realized….its the HAT!!! Got that city-boy blues hat on and now I’m WAILIN!!! :-)

Best on the net!😊

[@douglaschristine8387]

Hi Marty, always happy to do one of your lessons, their the best.

[@ScottAdkind]

I love that Heritage guitar.

[@MartyMusic]

Thanks Scott!

[@petermiller8634]

Another excellent lesson thanks Marty. Cream were one of the best & it's great to learn some of their music. 👍

[@angussiegloff5238]

This is an Albert king song cream only covered it.

[@rayross997]

"Born under a bad sign, been down since I was born, if it wasn't for MartyMusic I'd have no luck at all." Hey! the drunken slur sounds "real bad ass." Newsflash, this just in, Martin Schwartz breaks record for most coolest guitar songs taught ever. Thanks Marty, that is one cooool riff!

[@MartyMusic]

Ha nice Ray!

[@albert2395]

You are a very talented teacher!

[@paulgordon6949]

Nice one marty! Great tune and great lesson. Thanks again dude!

[@JackHumphrey326]

Two awesome lessons in one day! Thanks so much!

[@MartyMusic]

I appreciate that Jack!

[@MDG3]

One of my all time favourites.

[@dustinbateman1711]

Probably no way to get a solo for this song(born under a bad sign)? Just picked up a guitar again after 20 years. Always been one of my favorite songs. You kick butt, Marty!!! Thank you

[@HTNT9]

Love this tune...one of the most badass sounding blues riffs out there and fun as hell to play.

[@Brandon-youtube]

Could you do the Hendrix version??? I would love that!

[@mikehussey5682]

Great lesson as always, thanks for the upload.

[@Exploro]

Thank you for putting this out there! One of my favorite blues tunes and well taught!

[@enzooliveira7344]

Best Lesson,I took the whole song. Thank You Marty !!!

[@timearnest2781]

I've really been working on trying to branch out my blues licks. This will be really great to work on. Thanks for all you do Marty!

[@MartyMusic]

The End by The Doors would be great. Thank You

[@albertomassoli2071]

yeaaaaaahhhh, first blues song learned and i already think i'm bluesman! thanks!!!!!!

[@sergiunita4257]

You look for a song, chances are Marty has a tutorial on it.

[@PatrickBergeron]

Hey Marty, thanks very much for another great and easy enough to follow lesson. I have been practicing and playing part of this song but by Jimi Hendrix so not as easy to follow through as a beginner / intermediate player. Thanks again for being there for us out here trying to master guitar, one riff at a time !

[@SuperNick090]

Thanks Marty... This is an Awesome lesson and fun to play !!!

[@donpattonjr]

Good one Marty! Albert King, Chuck Berry, Eric Clapton it's all good!

[@westernrider100]

First time watching. Many thanks for not telling us every individual string and fret you are playing.

[@marcpoffley8367]

Hey Marty, Excellent lesson, helped me nail this one!

[@johnnylockard8207]

Thanks Marty so much watchout I'm ready now this was a lightbulb moment the passing 3rd I get now😁🎥

[@justtxjim]

Marty, I wanted to make a small "no big deal" observation but in any minor pentatonic (in this case g) the note you are playing is the flat third (you said third from g @ 1:16) ... Rock on music 💪 bro

[@almostgone33]

good lesson... keeping it real as always....thanks marty

[@MartyMusic]

I appreciate that Michael!

[@stjepanjuric8483]

[@fragman123xx]

Great song choice and I already know the intro lick! :) Thanks Marty

[@MartyMusic]

Thanks so much frogman!

[@robbiegwinn]

cool...guess you knew an old schooler would eventually find this video...awesome...back in the mid 70's i worked for ticket master and had back stage pass's and all the latest in what was going on. i was in a band like e1 else playing mostly deep purple black sabbath and zepplin. i seen clapton alot back stage playing along unnoticed around the clelveland detroit akron area. his style stuck out. just like urs. learned he did that for yrs while getting off the drugs. heard now age is setting arthritis in his hands

[@AdrianLopez-rw3pj]

Thanks Marty

[@Arauder1]

[@bradyoung1052]

Great tune, thank you for the lesson.

[@freddycracium8548]

Awesome marty, thanks brah 👍😎

[@adamwarner5981]

I would like to see some videos on some more modern rock bands such as Halestorm, Skillet, From Ashes to new, papa roach and the pretty reckless. Those are some of the bands I like I would also like to see some acoustic lessons on some of these bands songs too. Marty I really like your lessons and can't wait to see more!

[@NLB90805]

Beautiful - awesome acknowledgement to Albert and Eric, Jack & Ginger. Must admit I was exposed to this by Cream at a "Wharehouse" bargain bin of tapes with the original album on Cassette Tape in 1992 for $0.25! About the best quarter I ever spent in the USA beyond penny stocks. Keep up the good work brother.

[@TheChens14]

Starting out the year hot! love it, keep it up

[@MartyMusic]

Thanks Rosendo!

[@xanderdelaforce1971]

Hey Marty love the music learning the song now 😁😁

[@MrAntsrules]

i feel the blues!

[@michaelpehart5148]

Damn! I think i have a new favourite song and lesson. Thanks Marty. 😆

[@MartyMusic]

Thanks Michael!

[@VladPGuitar]

Amazing tune! Love every version of it, either Cream's, Bonamassa's or Albert King's himself! Awesome lesson :D

[@AtomicThrillGaming]

Thx, Marty for the upload.

[@mikedodd4546]

Marty, just been on a Robbie Cray bender. "Waiting For The Tide To Turn" would make for an opportunity for you to tee off with some tasty solo's, give a bit of funk/soul rhythm and I expect, a fair amount of humour...;)

[@hofftipus4132]

Evils Ways, Justice Mix - Blues Saraceno. Nice vid, by the way. I love your lessons!

[@littlewoodenboy1971]

This is super helpful. Respect.

[@yungfalco6137]

I am very thankful that you teach songs like that!!! Great Lesson like always! Do you maybe have interest in teaching a lesson to walkin blues? Greetings from Austria

[@rudyurias2630]

Great lesson!! A Rory Gallagher lesson would be great. Pistol Slapper Blues.

[@JesusRocks26]

yayyy thanks for the song choice

[@tomwray1153]

Awesome lesson as always Marty, I would like some thing with a chordal lead style.

[@michaelhouseline4157]

Awesome! By far my favorite lesson. Just feels so good to play that song :) sounds much better than my actual skill is :)

[@GarethElwoodDavey]

yes love it, thanks for this Marty. any of the the kings songs rock so please keep em coming! have you seem Bonamassa at the Greek theatre, love his version of this!

[@goldenjam_0189]

who even disliked this? and why? it's good!

[@MartyMusic]

ha ha, thanks for the support!

[@MrSchmiggles]

I saw this video and choked on my food thank you so much

[@MartyMusic]

Nice! Thanks Gabe!

[@gsantinoli76]

[@tonio0203]

Hey Marty , maybe a lesson from Dire Strates 'Brother in arms'

[@jamespease474]

awesome lesson, I've been trying to learn off he goes by Pearl Jam, and think it would make a perfect acoustic lesson.

[@jootimaisteri1855]

great video. thank you man!

[@MartyMusic]

Thanks!

[@dankyosh]

ooh yeah

[@vaibhavsingh6886]

Marty, I'm just starting out and always wanted to play Born Under a Bad Sign, thanks for the awesome tutorial! One thing though can't seem to figure out the strumming patterns of the D Hendrix chord, can you please help?

[@michaelbenjamin2625]

Did you ever figure it out? I’m stuck on it too ☹️

[@davidmfass]

@@michaelbenjamin2625 Easiest thing would be to get a slow-downer, and watch what Marty does in slow-mo. Or watch any of the other covers of the song in slow-mo. There are browser plug-ins that do this very easily. I have Transpose Pro. When I have trouble catching what someone is doing, I put it on 65% speed, that usually makes it clear.

[@ibleedoranbla]

@@davidmfass You do know that you can just slow the video down straight from the youtube player, right?

[@mikedodd4546]

Hey Marty, Good to see you back! How bout a bit of Robert Cray? Bad Influence, Right Next Door, Phone Booth (yeah I know its an Albert King song!!), somethin like that. I don't think anyone is as blue as Poor Bob, but we can give it a try...;)

[@garyeggleton1142]

Marty, thanx for the lessons.......id like to get some lessons on Bonamossa or Warren Haynes for blues , but im sure its not for everyone

[@rik1982]

Nice Music to listen to. Im comming from my weekly Jam-Session right now. Iam so happy, to get 'new' Songs to learn. Thank you! Wish u a great day! :^)

[@MartyMusic]

thanks. Thanks for following my new project here "MartyMusic!"

[@zacharycrosson1967]

I don't know if this is where I would make a song request, but you should do a lesson on "Choosey lover" by the Isley brothers.

[@jamiecampbell1981]

Marty just wanna thank you !!! My playing has improved exponentially (like the word) not bad for a Boston guy lol Mucrobiology class, but really though my playing has taking on a MIND of its own which is to say I’m playing from my heart my gut, but in there lies my problem I want play more cerebrally. For instance Ny buddies will be over and we smoke feel nice they tell me to play and I say put in the radio classic rock almost any song shit I never tried and I can play it at least accompany it in a way that sounds cool but Ny mind is s spectator while I play from my gut if I try to think I get analysis paralysis ya know , how to bridge the two or do I need to

[@randallreed9061]

I'd like to see a lesson on Pink Floyd's Sorrow if possible. Thanks!!

[@alfredogiusti6285]

this lesson is very interesting!!!

[@kirkgillen4969]

Key to the highway!! Or a Jerry Garcia bluegrass like ballad of Casey jones

[@cesarkhano9801]

nothing else matters solo please marty!

classic

just typing fast you need a hobby

[@swerve1185]

Loser grateful dead. Especially solo

[@teddyholt5951]

Great lesson, for the future I would love to see you teach how to play "Amos Mosses" by Jerry Reed. thanks again for the great lessons.

[@lovefrehlercurr]

Can you do a tutorial on Shake Appeal by The Stooges? A really cool song to learn for beginners aswell.

[@SeventhHeaven5655]

Thanks once again Marty, gonna work on this next. How about Black Sabbath, Hole In The Sky?

[@lucysaddington2932]

nice vid love them I subbed

[@larrimos]

Last of the steam powered trains by The Kinks. Plus that subtle finger slide you do at the end of a note is more difficult than it looks, any suggestions on that technique would be cool.

[@Mikey597]

Awesome lesson! I would ask, if you can make a video about Franz Ferdinand song - Love Illumination :) Thanks a lot! :)
