Marty can you do One Man Wrecking Machine by Guster please?

[@user-lg7bs3sj9y]

@MartyMusic Hey Marty 💚 you are seriously my favorite Guitar Teacher! You've helped me with over half the songs ik now and if you have time, could you do a song tutorial for Angus's High Voltage? I looked for it on YT but there weren't any helpful videos 😔

[@redkagaseo4489]

Can you surprise us with an anime song tutorial? That Band by Bocchi The Rock would definitely worth it since it's a high rated anime that features rock music and bands (mainly J-rock)

[@docbutcher58]

How about a lesson on Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain by Willie Nelson?

[@williamfitzgerald1976]

*this

[@mrcurtis73]

@@williamfitzgerald1976 yup. This. Also “on the road again” would be cool.

[@lukelaughlin1396]

Or Denver

[@mitch0990]

The solo is amazing

[@user-rw6iw5ex9j]

Old doc riggs is dead and I'm breathing in good fresh air. Yeller.

[@rockjaw11]

I can't believe I picked up guitar almost 10 years ago now, and I've been coming here to learn the entire way. Thanks Marty for all the riffs I've learned over the years!

[@RussellDaggett]

Thank you Marty! I was actually listening to that song right before you released the lesson. Maybe you can do “Pancho and Lefty” one day. Thanks again.

[@dylangeiger454]

[@splashesin8]

This is perfect for what I need and feel like lately. Hoping "little Merle" lays low a few more days till we can get him out of the traffic jam. 💙 Let's me play the cortisol out. ❤😊

[@redbloodedamerican2346]

The first thing I remember knowin' Was a lonesome whistle blowin' And a young uns dream of growin' up to ride On a freight train leavin' town Not knowin' where I'm bound And no one could change my mind but Mama tried One and only rebel child From a family, meek and mild My Mama seemed to know what lay in store Despite all my Sunday learnin' Towards the bad, I kept on turnin' 'Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore.

[@marcchenoweth8276]

I've always wanted to learn this classic. Thank you!

[@MrDoneboy]

I know this doesn't partain to the genre of the video, but i was wondering if you could do a lesson on Almost Ready by Dinosaur Jr.? I've been trying to learn the song for forever but no such video exists yet, and i know if anyone could make a good one it would be you.

[@BigGooch478]

[@MattGOG666]

The strangers

[@Patrick-ij8bl]

Great song. I always knew it from the Dead but learned it came from Merle. Cheers brother!

[@gristamshackleford2102]

my pinky locks up and goes all cattywompus when i try that intro. there is an easier way to play it down at the 7th and 9th frets, just doesnt sound as good

[@redbloodedamerican2346]

Wow thats a stretch

[@aardvark77]

Play the D by just using your index and middle fingers (you have to bar the first 3 strings with your index finger). This makes the stretch a lot easier.

[@redbloodedamerican2346]

@aardvark77 Yeah that's what I did. You're right

[@loganbluemel4310]

I'm sorry, you gotta reach how far?

[@duggl]

yeah... uh my pinky can't do that.

[@yehoshualevy3579]
