[@timhadzisavas6573]

I was fortunate to catch b b king about 15 years ago at a bar in Melbourne Australia. let me tell you that he was fantastic. Thx Marty.

[@Bcananzey]

I saw him twice. Once in Hawaii Honolulu Hilton in 95 or 96 and then once in Mansfield MA. in 2006. Was always great

[@MartyMusic]

Thanks for supporting my project right here "MartyMusic!" It feels amazing to know you guys are following my new thing!

[@corneliusmeeks5154]

Marty Music video hi And I'm still waiting for you guys on the

[@jefferystanfield3284]

Marty, what guitar are you using here. That is one gorgeous looking guitar and sounds great !

[@adamdrumgiles]

Loving it, the BEST guitar tutorials on the net by far.

[@jackbowey2483]

you're the man Marty! Thanks for all you do.

[@LUCKYB.]

Thanks for doing this Vid .. ..

[@rtrivanovic707]

I like how you start each lesson with a demo of what you will be teaching. This gets our interest. Many teachers start with talking.

[@MalJannie]

I honestly believe Marty is the best guitar teacher in the world

[@MartyMusic]

Thanks so much for the kind words!! I really appreciate it!

[@grade21]

I don't know . . . there's this guy in New Delhi that teaches metal sitar and he averages 700,000 "shrankas" (thumbs up) per video on HinduTube. He's known as the "Marty Schwartz of India." Ha ha. Yeah, you gotta love Marty Schwartz.

[@batmanandrobin250]

MalJannie honestly I believe you are an idiot.

[@istolethisaccount]

Marty Music Its true man! You taught me to play guitar with your videos and now im learning Dream Theater stuff! Thanks man!

[@raulmeiojas6453]

of the universe :-P

[@alexbarrett4586]

Man thank you so much for your videos. I’ve been playing for almost 3 years now and your videos have helped me out so much. When people ask me where I learned to play I literally tell them “my man Marty on KZbin” lol. This lesson was awesome by the way!

[@jessemanna912]

Many parts of The Ocean and Heartbreaker solos come directly from this spot, you can hear them. So much fun to have this box in your arsenal, its inspired many!

[@TheBoboMaker]

Thanks Marty, spent a good 3 hrs with this video, pausing it frequently just to practice and improvise with the newfound knowledge each minute brought. Been a follower for 2 yrs now, and I find that regardless of the level of the lesson, I always come away with insight and ideas.

[@richmondxxxx]

Marty !!!!! I wish those first 50secs of this video would never end.

[@brotherdoug63]

I have learned much from Marty. He's cool man. Makes guitar solos easy.

[@omorganstudios]

Thanks! Keep it up, thx for all the free KZbin videos

[@peterjr7]

If it’s not on Marty music, it’s not worth to search anywhere else. Great lessons, great attitude!!! Heat quality of the videos, and the sound of that song or style, is so accurate.

[@sergeytroshkov5326]

Very thanks for you! You've explained by 13 minutes the type of thinking, I've tried do find out for 5 years! That's amazing!!!

[@MartyMusic]

very cool Sergey, thanks so much! I really appreciate the feedback and of course you supporting me HERE with "MartyMusic"

[@johnr.b.murray3417]

12:44. Excellent run there, Marty. Reminds me of Lonnie Johnson on that Double Blues compilation album of the 60’s. Super tutorial.

[@bobbyrykard2732]

Ok, I know I've messed around with this some, but this was/is an awesome lesson!!! I'm seeing overlap of the major/minor pentatonics in every position now and I ran back across this. It's a perfect example of that. Also, the connection to the extended pentatonic scale. I need to transfer these licks to them to extend possibilities, but wow, such great material and licks here. Thank you, Marty for all you do!

[@kingkoontz8367]

The A Extension plus all the BB stuff combined has helped so much with improv, and understanding where to go. thank you, revisiting videos is key !

[@soerenguitarlessons9947]

It is encouraging to see, that some young players still take a honest interest in this beutiful genre

[@euanconnor7159]

7:16 thanks marty

[@nkovai888]

Euan Connor :-)

[@grade21]

I think that was an "F Chord"

[@victorformosa228]

How Not to get subscribers, but only Mart can get away with that, what a guy !

[@gergemall]

After years of studying with you, Marty, I still appreciate everything as a lifelong member👍☮️🎸

[@christophersmith8850]

You gotta love Marty's intro HAYY! I get a lot out of what he offers to us. Rock on Marty!

[@keithjeras9107]

Marty I have watched this video easily 10 times and every other video on the bb box on youtube. This go around it fianlly clicked, Thank you!

[@harrisongiavris8583]

Hey Marty, I've been playing guitar for quite a few years now (I'm 17 now) and your videos were some of the first I saw and I've been learning from you ever since. Your lessons are awesome, thank you so much, keep doing what your doing.

[@MartyMusic]

Thanks so much!

[@abashedstorm]

You are one of the good teachers on YT. Whenever I happen to stuck at some point, I look for a way to solutions here in this channel. ❤️

[@ronaldgordon3225]

Great lesson Marty. Really great way to put together the BB Box with the minor pentatonic scale. I recall seeing another old lesson of yours discussing moving from major to minor in a typical 12 bar blues progression which really ties this all together for me. Thanks again.

[@MartyMusic]

Thanks for the comment Ronald! Stay tuned right here at "MartyMusic" for more brand new content!

[@leebraly3904]

Great. Thank you. My son and I are beginners. Your videos sure help us figure this music stuff out.

[@sinclairashmanprintmaker3909]

Yesssss! So nice to find a lesson that brings ideas and pieces of knowledge that I have into one idea that blends them together into something practical. Thank you!

[@KCM_KCM]

7:18 Wilma: ‘and that one is for you Fred...!’ Serious, that run at 12:45 offers a world of possibilities, thanks!

[@illyshaieb]

Stop making this look so easy! I am just starting to learn the blues and your lessons help a lot, thank you.

[@JCP1152P]

The best presentation of the BB box I seen. Thanks Marty

[@brotherdoug63]

Marty should be a millionaire by now with all that guitar knowledge.

[@snehalkhichi4746]

That is real Blues breakthrough for me...🙌🏻🙌🏻

Hey Marty, can always count on you to come through when I'm in a creative rut. Thank you for bringing me out of a long term guitar hiatus.

[@MartyMusic]

Thanks so much for the support Paul! More new content on the way right here at "MartyMusic" - I really appreciate your support!

[@aaronthompson24]

John Mayer’s gravity solo starts with a slight variation on that same lick.

[@Frank-pe9pk]

Marty has inspired me again after playing for 10 plus years then close to 20 not playing due to life. Have to pull out one of my guitars and amps and start again Thanks Marty

[@xxxler8985]

This video right here just shows how talented you are. Unbelievable

[@fixedgeardad]

this is the most fruitful lesson ever, combined with the "A" run you showed and everything else you do, finally get my groove on! Marty you rule!

[@MartyMusic]

Hey Mike! I really appreciate the feedback my friend. More new techniques every Friday right here at "MartyMusic"

[@Dankyjrthethird]

bought a guitar after hearing aerosmith then i heard led zeppelin and wanted to sound like them, i even took the pickup cover off the bridge pickup of my les paul so i could be like jimmy page then i heard the white stripes desecrating the blues and i loved it then i fell in love with delta blues after hearing son house after all this i ended up sounding like bb king life is strange

[@nigelbannister4355]

wishing you sounded like bb king*

[@robhand7205]

Parents got me my first guitar @ 14. Started on Dave Matthews and some Zeppelin. My dad took me to see Clapton when I was 15. I started to notice on my Clapton CD that he was covering a lot of artists.. Researched those artists. Been playing blues for 18 years.

[@LUCKYB.]

Ive lissed to many Delta , stLouis and Chicago Blues players .. But I have to say we differ on thought process .. on Son House , . not top of the Blues chain for sure .. Look up Blind lemmon Jefferson ..

[@Chris-r6f1b]

@@nigelbannister4355 That's a fact. Pretty sure all the artists the OP mentioned wished they sounded like BB King, too.

[@rayross997]

Bluesy and beautiful, yet sweet and simple, more tasty stuff for the bag of tricks. Thanks for the time, effort and knowledge Marty, it is all right here at MartyMusic. I am not worthy, Master!

[@MartyMusic]

Ha thanks again Ray!

[@GreeneAlien]

Man, the grain on that guitar is awesome. The tone is too.

[@MartyMusic]

Hey thanks so much! I really appreciate your continued support!

[@RealDapperDude]

Marty! I love this. The simplicity gives such complexity. I love the progressions of the pentatonics.

[@jackh577]

One of your best videos Marty. More pound per Word! Thank you for sharing!

[@SoSoSango]

Much love and appreciation from Germany Marty. Keep it up.

[@mitchdemontmartre]

Thanks a lot Marty I follow you from Paris in France, you are a great teacher 🎸👍🏻

[@abbeyzondo]

Yes it's true that Marty is the greatest guitar teacher in the whole world.

[@searay340sedan]

Great teacher Marty ! I’ve played a few instruments over the years . Always wanted to learn the blues guitar . Thank you ! So far ....

[@JimmyDevere]

This lesson was at just the right pace and covered just enough material in one "chunk". Looking forward to checking out your other videos. I am going to be looking for something structured as part as an overall program/outline that will build in a logical fashion. Hope you have that content. Thanks.

[@deadlegs187]

The beginning of this is beautiful

[@erikb.8758]

amazing tips, thanks a lot for slowing down and showing in details! love the simplicity of his style, very classy.

[@jamesgaszak3685]

I like the covert ninja flip off. Executed with pure style, and never missed a beat. Haha. Great lesson brother.

[@evanrittenhouse7866]

Hey Marty! I know I'm a little late, but just wanted to say your videos have helped me exponentially in learning guitar. Thank you so so much

[@jamesshartel5839]

There used to be what was called stand alone blues tapes that had that feature which I could just play lead guitar to like you taught me so well!

[@Nymblys]

Can't wait to see more licks in this box, thanks for the lesson Marty.

[@MartyMusic]

Hey thanks Nym! More stuff for sure on the way right here at "MartyMusic" my friend!

[@monirom94]

Great lesson Marty!! I was listening to you play and give examples when you hit he turn around and bring out some magic at 1243. Sounded very Allman Brothers band.

[@chrisc.2513]

Still one of my favorite lessons from Mr. Schwartz….. B.B. would probably have enjoyed seeing this…

Another great lesson Marty! Your kicking some serious ass with your new channel dude

[@MartyMusic]

I really appreciate that Jake! Thanks so much my man!

[@Cultofpersonality09129]

I’ve heard a lot of guitarists that can sound or play a few licks that sound like most iconic guitar players. I’ve never heard anyone that sounds like BB king. It’s not complicated to play. The tone and feel is in your hands idgaf what anyone says.

[@michaelhenderson1687]

I love the way you play
