How to Play "Don't Stop Believin" by Journey on Guitar

[@jb_boyer]

"Thanks for taking this Journey with me." Well done, May the Schwartz Be with You.

[@MartyMusic]

you know I can't resist that kind of stuff

[@knoktenanghu1649]

Your tutorial is better than Carl Brown's... Keep it up bro!

[@calebbohrer3757]

Before I started with Marty my barre chords sounded like when he shows the strum pattern😂😂😂🎶

[@colettecochran5529]

Ga Gf

[@tamircohen1512]

That's what kind sound like now. How do I improve?

[@theyjustcallmemc]

@@tamircohen1512 Keep practisin

[@tamircohen1512]

Daniels Zandbergs Thanks man. A week later I can already play clean barre chords although sometime I struggle with getting the low E and A to ring out. Now I mainly need to work on transitioning between open and barre chords smoothly.

[@theyjustcallmemc]

@@tamircohen1512 I used to struggle a bit with barre also, now I mess up only open chords once in a while :)

[@justinderoche]

@ 15:34 : "Thanks for taking this Journey with me." Nailed it.

[@wyld4hymn]

I absolutely LOVE how you teach! A quick overview of the song followed by quick, easy to follow chord progressions. Getting ready for my first open mic night by using your Tutorials. Thank you!

[@bowenwheatley9508]

Watching the intro seeing in my mind a hard song for my stage in guitar playing...I still tried and it happened to be really easy for me and now I’m really good with barre chords. THANK YOU MARTY...YOUR THE MAN

[@billdahl7962]

Marty, you are my go to guy for quick song learning! I have viewed many of your lessons on various songs and take it to the stage! You are a great teacher!

[@myalaynaangel]

I watch you everyday and have been for two years. You've helped me learn bar cords... hope one day our paths will cross...! You da best man may the Lordbless you and keep you!

[@gavinpatterson4599]

me-“oh this would be a good song to play” **sees barre chord** “nevermind”

[@SSmpGaming]

Gavin Patterson you got this dw! I struggled with them as well but i eventually built up the strength by playing regularly

[@beeleo]

Gavin... I hear you buddy. I used to be the same way. Then, somehow I started adding in a barre chord here and there and next thing I knew, I went from being an AWFUL guitar hack to being a not-all-that-bad guitar hack. Get you string height at the nut checked. If you can kind of play an F barre chord, the a G barre chord at the 3rd fret will be a breeze and an A barre chord at the 5th fret is SO EASY. Learning G, then A and then B (and C) "E" shaped barre chord is easy. You might even say, "OH... That's what those dots are for" (on the side of the neck.) Then learn B, C, D, E and maybe F using the "A" barre chord shape. It will change your guitar playing forever. And then playing things like C#m will just be another chord. I'll even pick songs that I used to only play in open chords and play them with NO open chords. It's cool to see how they sound the same... but different.

[@gtsipejr]

Gavin, keep at it, they will come. Mine kind of surprised me when I could actually play a few, still not great, but a break through. Now I can even play them on my old beater hundred dollar guitar.

[@allubox2640]

I have tryed to learn the first 7 minutes of the video like 7 hours now still trying to get it right (i'm a beginer

[@derekbenkowski6868]

Lol

[@merlinsdog4530]

He he he, now I know you really love this song just by how much you put into the play through. I love it though, so kindred spirits. I'm gonna learn this... thanks.

[@kristophercerciello157]

Thanks Marty! Don't Stop Believing is one of my son's favorite songs! He's 7! I'm going to play this for him, he's gonna flip! You're the man!!!!

[@davidhaxton7930]

Just wanted to say thanks Marty. I really enjoy and benefit from your lessons.

[@sean3994]

I still remember seeing Gavin's comment and thinking similar thoughts. Stumbled on this video just now and WOW, I'm jamming this one out. DON'T STOP BELIEVING!

[@androidski1547]

Took me form 0 to 88MPH! No but seriously, a really good lesson, thanks a lot!

[@invero]

Great Scott!

[@realbaseball1707]

My bar chords where awful when I first tried this but I came back and they're so much better thank you!

[@JustinHatt1]

15:34 , thank you for taking this journey with me! it's funny cause we learned a journey song! hahah Great work Marty!

[@MartyMusic]

yes indeed Justin!

[@andrelaleme1]

Man, you are a legend! Anyone can play a little bit listening you

[@DDinNTK]

Great lesson Marty! Never thought to play this on acoustic, but it's amazing. Thanks for opening my eyes to that. Love to see a lesson on Soul Coughing/Mike Doughty songs. Thanks.

[@steveprudell9976]

Marty, my Mai😢Guitar teacher .Yes You've hit the jackpot .best song 🎵 ever voted. Great lessons 👌

[@msenecal]

Good lesson. I like that you worked the bass line and chords together. Thanks Marty.

[@funkyflipper7]

Thank you Marty! You made my month! You are a wonderful human!

[@codyriver5]

I know every single strum is making the Taylor better and better and seasoning it it in....but man I really miss your Martin's character and class sound....BTW thanks for ALL your great efforts on your great new channel!!

[@jebojebix7154]

I used to play guitar last year for the first time I watched “The Sopranos”it was amazing and I wanted to learn “don’t stop believing” and two weeks later I saw the many saints of Newark trailer can’t wait for the movie

[@mathewmccurry5615]

your lesson videos helps alot usually when i try to watch other people's lesson videos they don't describe it well like the chords or the patterns there is only a few other people i can understand when it comes to trying to learn new song but when i want to learn a song i always check to see if u have a lesson on it first since i understand u. sometimes i have no clue wat i want to learn but rlly want to learn a new song so ill just go through ur videos and watch the first part where u play it first before you start teaching and i just keep on till i find something that sounds fun to play my favorite kind of music is country but it seems all the same on guitar to me and some of it is plain and all the same chords just a little different order and patterns i like songs that are unique and has some slides, hammer ons and some pull offs but at the same time not to extreme this song is a perfect song to learn rlly fun and u did a great job at teaching it

[@upcomingcloudrapperluca7645]

First video I've seen Marty playing a Taylor instead of a Martin and it makes me happy.

[@fragman123xx]

Love the tutorial and how you build gradually the difficulty. Makes it super easy to learn.

[@MartyMusic]

Thanks so much

[@KSeguraR]

My man Marty! I been seeing your videos for a few years now... You always have, by far, the best material here on KZbin! So helpful... Don't have words to express my gratitude! Keep it up man! Almost One Million subscribers by now, congrats!! You're the best!!

[@jaober9]

That is how an acoustic guitar should sound - good stuff

[@luizfernandopigattogerber3597]

Congratulations, you are the best teacher, you have a gift, keep help us learn guitar👏👏👏👍

[@albertfernandez9934]

you're the man! Marty. thank you for sharing your Journey with us!

[@walterkemp6558]

Great lesson. Must try this, looks fun and interesting to play.

[@stevecowles8073]

Thanks again Marty. Whole lesson right from the start. Then explain. Love it bro. You’re a big help

[@FranciscoRZayas]

Awesome dude. I'm 50 years old and rocking out thanks to your lessons

[@MartyMusic]

Thanks Francisco!

[@MrGsmith333]

Thanks Marty you are the man

[@streetbl]

Hey Marty I always dig your stuff, I have a suggestion can you add links in the description that point to certain places in the song, so if I know the bridge and verse but need to jump to the chorus, I can do that quicker without scrubbing through the footage. Just a suggestion. Thanks for all the help!

[@AlanRaffidzi]

Perfectly splendid! Thank you Marty! Love from Malaysia.

[@autocrow]

Great tutorial! Made it easy to understand. It's the right hand that's tricky. Strumming and hitting those bass notes without losing the groove. It can be done. I won't stop believing!

[@MartyMusic]

Ha ha you can do it Tom!!!!

[@autocrow]

Thanks Marty! That made my day.

[@brucegordon3816]

Great concise lesson, well taught. Thanks, Marty

[@BrettBolzenthal]

[@ArronP]

Marty that guitar sounds amazing

[@rayross997]

Real nice! As a Canadian I would love to have a lesson on an oldie like Let It Ride or You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet by BTO. You always give a great lesson Marty, thanks so much my friend.

[@MrRUGDUDE]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Thanks Marty! You’re the best KZbin teacher in here, HANDS DOWN!! Gonna make the roommates insane, rocking back and forth the next 2 weeks mastering this one, over and over and over…….. Thanks again for “Where is my mind by Pixies” (y’all should check that one out too!) That song got me learning my bars.

[@ssg11b71]

Marty, I am not really sure if you're gonna read this, but, is it possible to do a video on setting up an acoustic? Adjusting the string height, particularly. I either have them too dang high or I have string rattle.

[@oldthug7624]

I like songs with these with more chords instead of a lot of picking patterns. I can do barre chords finally and I find it so much easier than doing picking patterns. Any tips to get better at picking faster?

[@brucekentallen]

Loved the arrangement, simple but pretty and with feeling

[@manulotu6353]

This is lovely bro. You are still the best tutor on line. Thank you

[@Neptonic101]

Great Videos Marty! When I first started learning how to play guitar I always used to watch your videos to learn how to play the songs I wanted to learn. And I hope you get more SUBS!

I learn my songs on GarageBand on iPhone because I don’t have my guitar most of the time but when I get to it I transfer what I learned onto a real guitar

You’ve done it once again my friend! Thank you! This is right in my wheelhouse, not ridiculously challenging (Little wing) however plenty of work to do on this ☝️

Hi I find this very accurate even though mine sounds so bad I just need to practice a bit but this helped a lot now it sounds better than ever thanks marty

[@Kamsworg]

Another great lesson, like a lot of folks I wanted to learn this song so thank you. One song that I (and hopefully others) would like to learn is Hiding My Heart by Adele. I have found a crapload of covers, but only one lesson that wasn't very good. Thanks for giving us so much of your knowledge day in and day out.

[@MartyMusic]

Thanks James!

Hey Marty! I Love you! I'm a fairly new guitarist and you have been a heaven sent to me. You provide a service to the music community. thank you! I do have a question about the intro. Can you please tab out the bass line you are playing? I can't seem to find it anywhere online. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. Thanks again for all you do.

[@tannerwhitaker4695]

Yes! Thank you so much! Been waiting for a good lesson on this one. Also wondering if you could do Still they Ride also by Journey. Thanks!
