[@andrewdesjarlais7358]

Thats totally how I felt once I started playing this lol

[@PotatoCracker1]

Well there's another way to play in the same sounding way you go: (G throughout) Open G, 3 fret G, 5 fret G, Open G, 3 fret G, 5 fret G, 6 fret, 5th fret G, Open G, 3 G, 5 G, 3 G, Open x2

[@hannahwakefield9812]

My dad has been bugging me to pick up the guitar for years now... I'm already in love. You teach it so well.

[@543gandalf]

omg literally just got my first guitar an hour ago and ive found this video and its the same on he is using. This is so much harder than I imagined. my coordination across the guitar is horrendous and now my fingers hurt lol. Im not going to give up though. ill be back in an hour.

[@robertdunaway-tyll7635]

Haha, good luck bro, I seem to be doing much better

[@hannelon]

+Patrick Bateman tip.. dont start with hard songs :)

[@alanalanalanalan1428]

+random guy this one is really easy tho

[@hannelon]

Alan ye i know, it was just a tip. what i mean by hard songs is like trying to play "jordan" by buckethead you know.

Thank you for uploading , my 11 yr old just got his first guitar, a fender, strat and he loved your lesson he was playing it after the first time around.. so ty, its the first thing hes really shown an interest in.. hes been practicing about 10 minutes at a time as Joe Satriani suggested in one of his interviews on here.. im grateful for that uploader as well or i would have had him practicing for an hour straight then i might have squashed any interest!1 so he now does these increments a couple times a day. I just let him play around with his new baby for awhile , wen he came and told me he wanted to learn smoke on the water, why this song ill never know,but instead of running out and checking out instructors, i found and online one you! he can pause rewind its great, i hope you have a whole series..

[@EnergeticSpark63]

how is your 19 year old doing

[@beckydenis1702]

Thank you for all your teachings. I am just learning and you are a motivation to keep going at it. I have not checked out your website yet but I will. Keep up the great work. Having videos to teach music beats reading a guitar book. What you do is helping many guitarists, both beginners and advanced on how to play with your lessons. Appreciate your dedication!

[@WarpedYT]

dang your GOOD !!! very inspiring and those power strings sound insane .

[@breakfast2093]

What about his good?

[@Alpha-yk9dh]

Brian Cotter wtf, you don't make sence.

[@nizzleprizzle9783]

TigerEye it makes perfect sense...he said your good...not you're good. So Dang your good is referring to the video guys good in his possession.

[@justsomeclown7197]

thanx to you, I was doing this in a couple minutes.. now I can't listen to the song without humming "3,6,8..3,6,9,8..." lol

never pplayed a gutair before this vid now feel like a pro

[@jamesbreen9595]

but the thing is it made me better to do harder songs

[@christytrim5971]

***** if its so easy why are you at a beginner video? Remember man everyone starts from the same place. give the guy props for learning something

[@sarasy3284]

***** He was saying he felt like he learned something new so he feels "like" a pro..he never said he's a pro or that its a difficult song.

[@whap_s]

i like it how the guy you are all responding to deleted his original comment

[@kasper5688]

James Breen First actual riff for me (had to learn one for school but it doesn't count) and I really hope I can start to actually play the guitar

[@thehouseofronin9209]

Thanks for this cool tutorial Marty! Very helpful for us beginners/ amateur players. Sometimes its just the little details that help us the most

[@oliisawesomerightnow2866]

Even though I can't really play power chords, I will always remember that regular riff intro. Now I can play it with my friend, maybe even a little better. Thanks for the easy lesson. Please do more.

[@leesmith7040]

Hey I'm 45 years old and left handed you are the first person that I can actually understand d and learn the guitar from thank you keep up the good work

[@Fredsko]

You are one of the best guitar teachers man, it's so easy to understand, thanks!

[@RockBand2Freak78]

I love your tutorials. I've learned literally 5 songs already and I just picked up the guitar 3 hours ago

YOU ARE THE GREATEST TEACHER EVER,you do FREE lessons and this is helping a lot Thank you a lot TheSenseiKai

[@ashleyguest3110]

i literally have never played a song on guitar before, and this video helped me. I have always played the flute and I am a professional photographer so learning guitar is a whole new world for me. I don't care what anyone else says thank you Marty. I hope people stop complaining about the fact you're promoting where you got your guitar and start caring about the music. I work at Sam Ash Music thats where I received my guitar. It doesn't matter where you bought the guitar it matters how you play it and what you do with it. The same as photography its not the camera its the photographer. Remember that before you complain on where marty bought the guitar. Thank you again marty!

[@hazlewood47]

I wonder how Ritchie blackmore feels to have his most famous riff the most common song every beginner knows how to play

[@reservoirfrogs2177]

Austin Hazlewood Probably pretty good that his work is considered one of the most effective riffs despite it being so simple

[@frateroiram_5706]

[@varianmanek9561]

It probably brings in a lot of new listeners, so it's good all around

He probably feels a bit pissed that people play it with a pick instead of thier fingers the way he originally intended lol.

Hey marty, I always played it 0 3 5 0 3 6 5 0 3 5 3 0 on the E string. Do you know which one is closer to the record, mine or yours?

[@HipsterEatinShark]

Slakteren Your way isn't the right notes. It's just transposed to a different key, but yeah, this guy shows you exactly how to play it.

[@dimitratsaki6855]

thank you!!!!!

[@Allan_Black98]

i was thinking about getting into playing the electric guitar but im not sure if i have the dedication to do it

[@jerronvandepol5319]

Me too, I want to play so bad though but it's always the same when I get a new hobby. The guitar would probably be laying somewhere in my room covered with dust after a few weeks.

[@sirdullboyofponty]

Jan Doedel so true so true

[@djroxanne4429]

Jan Doedel if you took some time rto learn the basics, imo, and its why i got my kiddo into it as well, music is something that will always be an outlet for you and also would allow you to always make a group of friends in a community thats really supportive of each other..If I knew you and i dont but, if i did my wish would be for you to try six months a few minutes a couple times a day, and then see.. i got h=my sins guitar at guitar center for 49 dollars, the amp also fender for 39, they were on a "police hold" no idea what that's abut but if you have GC's where you live you should ask, because lets say what you tihnk ends up happening does i got both for under 100 bucks , im not going to be that angry, for that little amount and of course he didt need to have an amp, so you could get one for 50 bucks, guitar that is , that they told me after i bought it, goes for around 200 bucks...

[@denniscassiers772]

pitbikeboy98 i thought the exact same thing. I got a secondhand electric guitar for my birthday and just never knew where to start. I searched youtube and found a thing called 'one string songs'. I think this is the best way to start. Next, you just search songs you want to learn (Now don't start with ACDC's 'thunderstruck') and add 'very easy guitar tutorial' or stuff like that. I still suck at playing my guitar but now, I play it a lot and enjoy it because I know how to play a couple of songs I love. If you're a fan of Green Day, you should search Marty Schwartz's 'Brain Stew' tutorial. It's ridiculously easy to learn but you can go completely nuts and even sing along!

[@CH-rs7cm]

It does require discipline (and a good teacher). My advise: just pace yourself. Set aside a specific time of day for practice and do it every day, even if it's just for ten minutes. My guitar teacher told me that you cannot force it; it will come to you as the years progress.

[@julianfalcon3402]

am I seriously the only one that thinks of jack black in school of rock when hees showing zach what to play?

[@westsidegunn2898]

No, you're not the only one.

[@Kr4d10]

thanks, for the quick refresher, you sound great, I asked for a electric guitar for my 42 birthday and your my first lesson, and of course, smoke on the water is what I wanted to play.

[@trevorseim6950]

[@kasey7638]

[@joseblake2976]

i hate power cords they are super fucking hard for me idk why , is there a way i can train my fingers for power chords?

[@WarriorofSunlight]

I'm a beginner and having the same problem, try to "lock" your fingers into that position. Seems to help me. It's all in moving the whole hand, not the fingers.

[@lancel3933]

+Jade Warner do iteveryday im a begginer too . Worked for me anyway

[@Drgordan1231]

+jose angel To learn powerchords really well, start off by just putting your fingers in powerchord formation anywhere on the neck, any fret, Now slide them as if you were actually playing and keep doing that until you can get into the highest frets without losing your powerchord-position, After this, do the same thing but this time. strum it, and make sure each one sounds good before you slide again, Do this routine at least for 15 mins aday. I did it for 30 mins a day and got powerchords down in no time, literally took 4 days and I was able to implement powerchords to all my favorite bass lines, :)

[@surrealparadox395]

+jose angel I used to be unable to play power chords but now they are just so fucking sick and easy to play. When you get to barre chords you will see power chords as the easiest thing to play.

[@joseblake2976]

The Nostromo Tanks dude i'll do my best to learn power chords they are awesome but pretty hard to learn them

[@Jamiecosplay]

Who is watching 2018 ? I dont even know why i clicked it 😂 good song for begginers though. Just dont play it like its the only song in the whole world 😁

[@joemamma7904]

thanks marty this was the first song I ever learned to play guitar and its all cause of you. everything I know is because of you thank you so much

[@GnomeWalls]

hey marty im 13 curently but when i was 10 or 11 i got a guitar and never played then i found you and now i have a teacher but when i get home i go to your channel and practice and i think your a great person and guitar teacher, Thanks Marty

[@rodneysmart9774]

[@seymat.3742]

+Donald Dog , Maybe he's not a natural, but if they keep up the practice, then there is a chance of them playing in the future. Sorry, but dream crushers aren't my favorite people in the world.

[@Mooka-oi4qv]

Same

[@0x29A30]

0 3 5 0 3 5 4 0 3 5 3 0 with only the first E String, easiest way to play this.. :D

[@silentAssassin1112]

same here man, 035 ,0365 , 035, 30 , maybe tuning difference

[@guitarbliss2209]

It's right but you can also double it up to make a power chord like this. G: 0 3 5 0 3 6 5 0 3 5 3 0 D: 0 3 5 0 3 6 5 0 3 5 3 0
