This song is tuned down a half step - Thanks to Boss for sponsoring today's video! Download the Boss Katana patches I used here: bosstoneexchange.com/liveset/227e085a-b44b-4665-a689-27edc18776aa/ and bosstoneexchange.com/liveset/00467dcc-1301-404c-9c69-78f523c04b18/

[@robertjagodnik]

It would be nice if Boss could provide a solution for using .tsl patches across different Boss products, e.g., Katana patches are not compatible with GT-1 etc. Anyway, thank you very much for the lesson :)

[@adriensadoch9166]

Hey Marty ! Have you ever considered making a guitar lesson for Little Barry's song "Why don't you do it"? Would be wonderful on your ES 335. Anyway thanks for the good work ans cheers from France. Adrien

[@stevenday9687]

I was just ready to ask about this. Love the sound of this. Just turned on a beginner to your channel & he loves it. Thanks for making it easy for all of us no matter what level we're at. I know you've helped my playing a lot as I'm sure you have many.

[@tomrochester7381]

Maybe half a half step! (Honestly, it was quite tricky to tune for this)

[@bhanzo]

Why do you tune down a half step? To confuse a simple man?

[@josephpeoples2621]

That opening gives me chills

[@GottaLuvMochi]

Oh heck yea, I’ve been looking for a good lesson on this but couldn’t find one except for the one you made a few years back

[@fotisbozikas507]

What a classic rock song. I clicked that as fast as I could. Such a great lesson and of course such a great song. Hope you make some more skynyrd lesson because they got some classics apart from the most famous ones such as call me the breeze, Tuesdays gone, On the hunt etc. Anyway thank you for this great lesson. Best teacher on the internet!!

[@skynyrdnation3902]

Lynyrd Skynyrd is my all time favorite band. Love the lessons you've helped me tremendously throughout the years thank you Marty🎸🎸

[@jeffrey7663]

Like ive said before my friend youre the eassiest teacher to follow...im 63 played all my life..now i am an advanced beginner no more. Youre teaching seems just write for me

[@nicocabrera2728]

Hi Marty, so I grew up listening to this one song called “Life is beautiful” by Sixx AM and it would mean a lot if you could make a lesson for it. I can’t find any good ones and I’ve been watching you for years. It would really mean a lot if you could. Thanks

[@Commando767]

Such a good song I’d love to see Marty do a tutorial for that

[@KeithKong973]

Really good song

[@sixxbrisbane]

Fantastic song

[@sympocxx4887]

I've never actually listened to Nikki Sixxs band I need to tho cuz motley is my favorite vand of all

[@ronnieb7408]

I've went from learning songs over hours and hours to 30 minutes or less from watching your videos Marty. You make learning songs the easiest and simplest way of anyone else.Thank you so much for all you do..Two years going from not knowing anything about guitars to about 50 plus songs and riffs all from KZbin and Martymusic.thanks

[@travellinmike4333]

Yep, I used to have to stop and rewind, watch several times, etc. Now i can pretty much play aling and "get it" in real time while watching. Marty is the best.

[@joshuamarsh2618]

Another great lesson to add to the growing list to learn from you! Thanks for keeping me so active on the guitar, always seems to come right at the time I get a little lazy on the guitar and then you inject some fresh energy into wanting to learn more tunes. Awesome! :D

[@clevelandsparrowiii420]

Marty. Back in like 2010 was the year I started playing guitar and found your KZbin videos and set my foundation for playing for years to come. I thought your channel ended cuz I stopped seeing it, but now realize you created a new one that grew even bigger. 3mil?! Back then you have a few thousand maybe haha. Thank you so much for all your help over the years. Literally my first teacher even tho I never met you. Your a blessing sir

[@jcburger733]

Hey Marty, thank you for the Simple Man guitar lesson. Really appreciated. One of my favorite songs!!!

[@harigeorgeson5885]

Nicely done as always! The sustain you’re getting on that LP is amazing.

[@mr.purplepanther856]

WOAH three days ago! I've had this song on replay, just got my first guitar, boss katana amp and have been watching your videos!! Thank you!!

[@worldpeacemaker852]

Hi Marty, real cool video presentation of one of my favorites LS Songs - Simple Man! You're the Man! Great video! 🎸👍

[@drewarnold7841]

Hey Marty, great lesson. Super glad you taught this song on electric apart from the acoustic version you did years ago. Not too sure if you've heard of the band Dirty Honey, but they're a new up-and-coming band with some great chunky Les Pual riffs. A lesson on one of their more popular songs would be awesome and enjoyed by others I'm sure.

[@jeffrey7663]

The only teacher i can easily understand on you tube! Im so gratefull for youre help man Marty!

[@DaveLostIt]

I realy wanted to thank your helping me alot on my guitar journey ,thank you marty ❤

[@patrickkelly9721]

This is the song I'm concentrating on as I'm relearning after a LOONNNNGGGG time not playing. Using a looper with the chords as a metronome. Thank you for your style of instruction.

[@jeremylrichardson]

Hats off to Marty. I was just looking for this lesson the other day. Keep it Marty, you’ll be on the king of KZbin before you know it

[@sebsguitar]

Hey Marty! Im a massive fan from London and your taught me so much in the 2 years I’ve been playing guitar and I wanna say Thankyou for that. Just wondering could you possibly do a tutorial for I want to break free by Queen? Would be so sick if you saw this. Thanks!

[@John--]

[@donaldallen4285]

[@jerseyred9554]

Steller performance and lesson, thanks man

[@jeffreyoliver2487]

Thank you for the update on this tutorial Marty! I have been looking for a tutorial on a song that I can't seem to find anywhere and I was hoping you'd find the time to put it out for us:"I Heard 'em Say" by Ryan Bingham. Can you dig into that one and give us a break down pleeease! Thank you

[@kalvin1897]

Sounds amazing

[@z.c.humphrey8457]

Excellent lesson, thanks

[@MartinGarza3]

hey just wanted to let you know this tutorial helped a lot i just have trouble going from a g to the a minor but the picking pattern i have down

[@duaneholcomb8408]

I love this song. My favorite by skynard. I'm an old Fla. Boy. Southern. Born. Bread. I play this on a old flat top. And it dont sound bad nither,, acoustic style. But the words mean so much. And the music just fits. The story line. It was a great bit of song writing. In my opinion,,,,,

[@OakLawnSpeedShop]

Got to get one of them Boss Katana’s

[@aleksanderpiekarski1756]

Hi Marty. I have a little request for guitar lessons. Can you please learn us how to play "The Ballad of Curtis Loew" by Lynyrd Skynyrd

[@calebwarner2847]

Love this song

[@budlight4260]

Thanks marty

[@brandoncohen6010]

[@donniesexton6972]

I'm glad i found this tutoral .... I have to play this at a brothers funeral..ty

[@austintormasi1429]

Great lesson Marty! Anychance you can teach push push (lady lighting) by bang comaro?

[@mihirjaokar4566]

Hey Marty, great lesson. Wanted to make a request, can you make a lesson on "Make you Mine" by public. Really would love to learn that song from you.

[@garylcampbell9964]

Very nice Marty

[@ikea_meatballs_6952]

Another great lesson Marty, could you do “that smell” by lynyrd skynyrd too at some point?

[@straight8ight]

Wow!!! What's happnin Marty. Great tune.

[@ronniegibboni8327]

this is my school of rock

[@JustinTaylor1098]

A lesson on Comin Home would be good Marty please.

[@commandercody_662]

Another great tutorial do you think you can do run to the hills I’ve been trying to learn that and I love your tutorials so if you can do that that would be nice thanks

[@truthstillmatters59]

Simple Man. Simple Song. Can't go wrong with that!

[@RedYankee45]

When I was 14 I took some guitar lessons but kinda fell out of it at 16 and I’ve always regretted doing that so I ordered a seagull s6 last night. I’m be 30 in December lol

[@scottiewalker1950]

That was awesome new

[@sergiocd6]

Was just jamming this in my room, is marty always with us when we pick our guitar?

[@akioo01]

I love playing guitar please do You And I by One Direction in an acoustic guitar. Thanks Marty!

[@dylanpotter2592]

Once again, an mazing tutorial. Do you think you could do a lesson for Stacked Actors by Foo Fighters? There’s only one guitar lesson for that song on KZbin and it isn’t the same as when you do it.

[@r34ever24]

we need more skynyrd

[@sortoftoxic325]

Thanks Marty, keep it up! Hope you’re doing well.

[@honeyfitz_cs2014]

Cool, he did one lesson 6 years ago and now one recent one! Same song!

[@christiandaboll2902]

Any chance you could do Hendrix’s Like a Rolling Stone at Monterey?

[@leonantikainen8470]

Hey Marty! Could you do a lesson on Don't tell me you love me by Night Ranger? Great guitar song with an awesome solo. You're the man!

[@in2livinit]

Jeff Watson has some signature tricks & Riffs, but he is also just an insanely good Rick player. Shame he got kicked under the bus, but seems the guy is happy doing what he's doing and doing really well.
