[@locomotivechannel3290]

[@guitarreilly]

This isn’t johns best vid but trust me I saw this guy a month ago live on acoustic and he was unbelievable. Amazing technique and musicality

[@guilhermecamargo8748]

both of them can't play that riff correctly because none of them owns the pick of destiny

[@aidendon106]

you had me in the first half

[@xXGears2FTWXx]

I saw the Foo Fighters last night in New Zealand and Tenacious D opened for them (Fucking insane show by the way) and John was pulling off some kickass solos with the D, it was so awesome :D

[@PinkFloyd457]

Marty you are literally the absolute best! You've helped so many on our way to being true rockers! Thankyou from the bottom of all our hearts. And John!!! Man I love you so much, you are the most amazing guitarist and the D are so lucky to have you. Keep rockin both of you!

[@HerrDerpington]

Oh god it's the AntiChrist!

[@frankward67]

I will say it again, John seems to be a really down to earth laid back kind of dude. Thanks for this Marty.

[@GuitarJamzOfficial]

@RockGuitarDave funny you should put it that way!!! it's called the "comfort strap" made of wet suit material and flexes nicely around your shoulder.. thx

[@OutHereTj]

[@stew918]

Kones seems like such a cool dude to sit around and jam with.

[@TheViper277]

Marty could you please do a video for Master Exploder with this intro because John Konesky didn't explain it well :(..

[@YUFUSLAM]

These guys are havin WAAAAAyyy too much Fun man.

[@Joep813]

@lallyman69 are you serious? Dude works his tail off making lessons and forming these kinds of connections; he puts up a free lesson of a song you want to learn and all you have to say is it's about time. You're very ungrateful sir. Marty, thanks for taking your time and putting this lesson up. Your the best man.

[@emerican4222]

Wow, because of this i stumbled upon some of John's acoustic stuff...it's amazing.

[@scurry2175]

After seeing you play the strumming part, Marty, I finally figured out how what the chords are changing! Cheers! (had seen the vid of JB play/battle with Conan O'brien several times, but still couldn't see and hear what's actually being played)

[@beauphillips8544]

0:22 I think he forgot he’s name

[@iixnullxii1]

Awesome, sir! I can't wait to see more of The D from you!

[@lordxerak]

MASTER EXPLODER IS GREATEST SONG OF ALL TIME

[@grewejames1]

Is there a reason for pulling down while bending on the G string or isi it just a stylistic preference???

[@DegeratX]

This guy literally jumped in his Chrysler Imperial and drove here from the sixties. I am seriously digging the mustache.

[@mastertimb]

This is awesome. Thanks!

[@djoosdijk123]

It's a deusenberg guitar, awesome guitars!

[@FelixSalmon_]

marty do you think you could find out how to play the second solo in master exploder? if you could that would be awesome, even if you just post the tabs because i cant find them anywhere

[@hanso66]

@cudatheferocious Duesenberg... Amazing guitars...Art pieces with top of the line riging

[@saif21013]

Hey Marty I was wondering if you could teach the main riff for Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty.

[@DrinxD]

He is John Konesky and he is the guitarrist of tenacious D =)

[@Kapplaa]

@PatHelmsleyisback they announced a new one for this year =)

[@Omiesalman93]

that is a beautiful guitar john where did you get it from i have to know please!!!

[@rootboycooks]

guitarings is awesome, I just subscribed, tanks Marty!

[@assasinslight]

Hey marty , What guitar is John using ? also i love your videos ... no homo :P

[@Theonlinecommentator]

@DrFrankNFurtherD Kones probably made the solo, he is allowed to change it.

[@freak77007]

Marty, do you have a guitar bundle with lessons of kones? would be awesome! grt

[@ville525]

just love John :P

[@RockGuitarDave]

ok marty stupid question, what kind of guitar strap is that? cause it looks realy comfortable :L

[@toster1995]

@thomasralph123 He already has that lesson, search for it, its great ofc

[@TheRobb2223]

damn man nice vid ty dude that was sweet

[@OKImTrying]

Hi Marty, another great lesson thats helped a lot. I have a song request, Slipknots Duality. I know its not your usual style but its a cool song and you could teach us pinch harmonics.

[@lozzyvoyd]

Dude you should totally do a video for the metal!

[@LoganLive09]

If you bend a string up does it sound different than if you bend down?

[@Troy34057]

Marty, do you have pick of desteny to???????

[@MrManuelSandoval]

Hey Marty, your guitar is a Fender right? but what is John's one? kinda cool gotta say. Tenacious :D rules... waiting for the day u play with them in a concert and upload the video!!!

[@romanogomes7941]

can you do roadie please. the one song you missing...

[@stevenmcl1]

It doesn't sound right. Missing some notes at the end of it. Listen to master exploder, then listen to 7:12 and you'll notice the ending not being quite right, and the first segment after the hybrid picking that doesn't sound quite right. Majority of the riff is the same as the song though by the sounds of it. Those bits can be pieced in.

[@WavTer]

thank you!

[@xnirvanaXnevermindx]

its John Konesky he dosent need a damn magic pick he just takes time to practice the damn thing you can do the same

[@BiggestDxFan101]

hey marty can you do a lesson on the history of tenacious d...please

[@MatthewMan1997]

Marty, I don't know if you still take requests, but if you do, where can I request a song?

[@QuiltedPine]

@IxAUTIxI That's what I thought when I saw the Reading festival video of this song, I was wondering, "Is that Tony Iommi?" Guess not! he's an awesome player

[@RetroSparkles]

@LoganLive09 Yeah, the note is lower when you bend down

[@TheEspela]

Hey mans!! I saw you on songsterr page, wow ther are pdf tabs and a cool multemedia program!!! Great JOB!!!!

[@ronntelli6240]

"He didn't know what he had, At the end of the show he flicks the POD into the Audience and some kid catches it , kid named eddie"

[@lancerator08]

@martyzsongs What guitar do you use?

[@purpledrinnk]

Does anyone know what guitar John is using???

[@PanzerTOR]

Kones is playing a Duesenberg ( I don't know the exact model).

[@RhcpXLIV]

Which model is the gold guitar?
