[@ShamboPieters]

Marty single handedly taught me how to play guitar

[@jacobroth4624]

Marty uses two hands actually

[@ShamboPieters]

@@jacobroth4624 forgot about that sorry

[@KennedyIvy]

Marty saved my cat in a house fire

[@fortyyearfitness]

Where was his other hand????

[@EliStolk]

Bro I'm pretty sure you need two hands to play guitar

[@specter-collecters2695]

Guitar lessons 356 Carl brown is the best glad you mentioned him

[@Billy23562]

Wrong Guitarzerotohero is the best actually

[@depracated]

Yeah, Marty is great for a bit more simplified version of the song, but if you want to learn it exact, Carl pretty much nails it everytime. Both are excellent.

[@_eatmynuggets]

Agreed I think Carl is the most accurate

[@daveweisbrich1769]

There are so many quality resources out there these days. I've made twice the progress (still not very good lol) in the last two years by watching KZbin lessons than I had in the past ten years.

[@biegel0136]

@@depracated exactly, i think the little details make a cover great and carl literally nails every little detail that i myself sometimes don't even hear. I think marty is the goat for beginners but for intermediates carl is the best

[@SamVecchio]

Marty is not playing his Signature 335 and Tyler isn’t playing a PRS? Oooh I’m TELLING

[@Gyzote]

I literally just laughed out loud 👍🏻

[@albertfranco7240]

😂😂😂 good one

[@bwall615]

I literally thought how refreshing it is to see non PRS guitars on this channel. PRS is great but so are other brands.

[@joshnorko5586]

The world is ending lol

[@blakewilkerson9695]

Marty was known to playing Strats so idk what your talking about

[@jakeflemming]

Every time I watch Marty, I get nostalgic for when I started playing

[@pierremaiden]

"Why do we subject ourselves to the barred chord" is such a true sentiment when i was just learning. I kinda wished that triads were put in my early "just play chords" training.

[@jaymzOG]

I still get hand cramps practicing barre chords. But they're so useful. :(

[@tblx2675]

+1 on the triad thing. As far as barre chords, I’m glad I was taught them early on, despite the hand cramps lol. Also one that I think that gets overlooked or people just go straight to a KZbin tutorial is using your ear to figure things out. When I started you had the recording of a song, maybe a tab and your ear. People would be surprised the amount of songs they can learn by using your ear and moving around the fretboard.

[@noahpauley]

I remember learning Green Day songs through Marty’s videos like 9 years ago…I feel old now

[@chinmoyjyoti59]

The Collab we needed but didn't ask for

[@willfarkouh]

Marty definitely was/is my primary online teacher for over 15 years. Also met him in person at a show a few years ago. Such a super, down-to-earth dude and great sense of humor. May the Schwartz be with all of you! 🤘🏼

[@DGRussMB]

No no!! This video can’t be over! Listening to you guys talk, then Jam, talk, jam! The time went too fast! I couldn’t believe it when I seen this post pop up! I thoroughly enjoyed the interview! I’ve learned a lot from the both of you!

[@peaner083]

Definitely hey. Hopefully they do a part 2,3,4....🤔👍

[@DGRussMB]

@@peaner083 Aaaamen!!

[@sn95_mustang_garage]

In 2015 I took up the guitar at 44 years old. Marty taught me chords and ton of songs. I think the first was Everlong on an acoustic. First time I tuned to Drop D.

[@areliojeda7965]

These two guitar teachers taught me so much. I started playing guitar in like 2019, and have learned a lot from.

[@jimmygillard]

That was the best pinch harmonics mini lesson I think I've ever heard Tyler! Very easy to follow.

[@KullenGarcia]

Leave it to Tyler to make the entire intro about him with a side of Marty Schwartz. Love you, Marty, no ego, just pure talent and love for music.

[@Ondee_numberthree]

No kidding, said the same thing.

[@captainobvious.29yearsago70]

I knew I wasn't the only who caught that

[@captainobvious.29yearsago70]

I always got such opposite vibes from tyler and marty

[@freaky459]

Yes but- there are times when I gravitate to Marty, and times when I’m more in the mood for Tyler. It’s about choosing which tool works best in that moment. They are both great. Not sure if Tyler has really done anything to deserve being placed on the other end of that spectrum, I think it just appears that way when he’s sitting across from the nicest guitar teacher ever.

[@frankiev116]

Carl Brown is probably my favourite but I’ve watched a lot of Marty as well. I just started watching _you_ recently. Also I love how you helped out Marty by cutting to each camera he pointed to at 19:30 haha

[@KevinCowden-ow5to]

I can remember a handful of times when I was in a pinch to learn some material for a gig I went on his channel and got a quick lesson. Invaluable at the time

[@viewwithice4500]

Marty and Carl Brown are the GOATs

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

100% Marty got my foot in the door now when I REALLY wanna get into the nitty gritty, Carl brown all the way!

[@MainPrism]

Carl is definetly the GOAT!!!

[@judahparel7055]

NO FREAKING FRICKIN WAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! IVE LITERALLY BEEN WAITING FOR YALL TO GET TOGETHER!!! Let’s gooooooo 🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@alecstone7503]

Crazy. You, Marty, and GuitarLessons365 are definitely the guys who made me grow as a guitar player.

[@Joeobrown1]

i didn't appreciate how good a player marty is until now, i always associated him with pumping out lessons of simple songs really quickly. he's far more tasteful than i'll probably ever be

[@magic2506]

Marty is especially the best for the lower intermediate to beginner because I think he takes into account the dexterity and experience is not there yet for that group. He will teach many songs without the true chord voicing and will substitute easier chords that work well enough thus, getting more people playing quicker. He will also leave out some of the actual fluff played in the originals to also accommodate that group.

[@willfarkouh]

This video warms my heart in many ways. Marty is a class act and super humble. I love the “tasty jam between pals”. Does anyone know how Tyler gets that incredible tone @ 21:00??

[@davidwolfe4770]

After a lifetime of playing piano and sax, I picked up guitar in my fifties, and I started with Marty and Ultimate Guitar. Now I'm helping my daughter get started with her first guitar by pointing her to Marty's videos. Keep teaching and spreading the word.

[@JReyes624]

I'm still a beginner/intermediate player, but Marty was there for me from the start, and it was his lessons that helped me push forward through the growing pains. Justin also played a big role, and these days I'm also a fan of Ryan Lendt and Guitar Zero to Hero. With all these excellent resources, this is a fantastic time to pick up the instrument.

[@bldallas]

Two of my YT favorites in one room together! So cool. That was awesome. Thanks to both of you for teaching me more than you could ever imagine.

[@justu2bnit17]

Marty is a good guitarist and a good teacher. Great place to start. Tyler is what you aspire to be. The difference is readily apparent as they were trading licks and reminiscing about their beginnings. Tyler is just so professional.

[@peterw2880]

Marty Schwartz and Andy Guitar were invaluable resources in my first few weeks and months of guitar. Love to see him getting the love he deserves

[@dillonpereiraa]

I love both these guys, and it warms my heart to listen to them chat and reminisce on their journeys to where they are

[@RTdaddy]

You guys are f*****g awesome. By far both Marty and Tyler are my favorite teachers I have found on KZbin and who I go to 99% of the time I'm looking for something to learn. Yall are amazing teachers, you make it fun and enjoyable. I love that yall got together and made a video. Hope yall make yalls way down to New Orleans sometime, I would love to see yall live one day, much love and respect for yall.

[@reubenrozeyt5716]

When guitarist tell that they're "self taught", They're lairs Marty. Taught. EVERYONE Thank you Marty.

[@bennettblankenship6691]

i can vouch for this

Guilty as charged.

[@mauser8515]

That is incorrect. Ive never heard of any of you, this was put into my feed. Im also 40yo blues player

[@MainPrism]

I've never watched a single lesson of his for more than 30 seconds. He didn't teach everyone cause I haven't learned anything from Marty.

[@con3728]

[@PLively]

I think Marty was the first KZbinr I ever subscribed to.

[@kevinrinehart]

I truly appreciate hearing all of the old stories about how you and Marty got started doing what you do. It is certainly inspirational as well as entertaining. Thank you! :)

[@andrewcable2494]

Marty tought me almost everything i know! Couldnt even play a chord before watching his videos and now i can play full songs with my eyes closed, thank you marty

[@Bumbaclartios]

Marty getting his flowers, love to see it. Been there for me every step of the way. I’m not a good guitar player, but without marty, boy i’d be worse

[@slowraceultra]

I'm from a small country town in Australia and Marty has taught me so much over the years (I'm still a hack) but I enjoy playing so much. I started with tab books in the 90's and now with KZbin it's so good to be able to look anything up and learn it. Thanks guys. (And a shout out to Steve Stine)

[@kennethkennethson4991]

Mr Schwartz taught me enough of the basics to figure things out myself. so much so that i’ll always refute being self taught when i said i didn’t get lessons

[@tonylouis6072]

No doubt about it. I was learning from his videos back in like 2009 and he's still going and is still the same old Marty. He really is the greatest

[@shanethackeray1988]

I’d been playing guitar for about 40 plus years and I came across Marty’s videos a decade ago and he showed me some stuff that I didn’t know, you never stop learning. Much respect.

[@JIMIIXTLAN]

James James has always been my first choice to check out a song he helped me get over the hump and I have copied his style of playing, he helped me understand that a song can be played many ways but his best peace of advice that helped me most (and it sounds obvious) is learn a song from beginning to the end and everything in-between. Thank you James I miss you

[@nbenning25]

Miss JJ as well! Great channel …. Started with Marty and GuitarJamz myself

[@patrickthomas8890]

What happened to him?? He had a sick guitar collection. I swear every video had a different high-end guitar.

[@nataliecarlin9088]

One day i hope to play 'girl from the north country 1963 version ' like Jimmy Jimmy. He has it down.

[@TheCasey16]

We all owe him so much. Literally one of the greatest guys on yt out here making lessons fun and easy.

[@jr0706]

Off the bat, I'm loving the jam. Marty is the best. And I like seeing that Peavey Classic 30 there.

[@Gyzote]

I really like “The Guitar Factory” channel as well as both of you guys. He’s a much, much smaller channel but he definitely deserves the same viewership and base. Thanks to all three of you guys!

[@shaynedurbin2235]

I owe Marty for a lot of my ability to play guitar. First stumbled on to him when I was 19…now I’m 34. He always makes learning fun and interesting. I can’t thank him enough. I still buy his courses just because I love Marty.

[@devbowman]

Love how it instantly morphed into two musicians relating to each other by improvising. So fun to watch.

[@kingoffire9373]

Hats off to marty he's been puttin in work forever on youtube i learned so much from him over a decade

[@sionevans8370]

it's cool that Marty is happy with teaching ppl beginner stuff. I looked up Rumble and he came up straight away :)

[@dcflake5645]

Can confirm. Playing guitar off and on for 20 years and still come back to Marty's videos to refresh myself with a song I've not played in many years.

[@SGJ.musician]

Michael J Fox playing Johnny B Goode made me want to learn guitar. Marty taught me almost everything I’ve ever learned on guitar. And still after 3-4 years over knowing guitar I still find myself going to Marty for tutorials and tips

[@bennettblankenship6691]

no joke. i've been playing this crazy six stringed instrument for about 4 years now and when i started playing at 13, marty was (and still is) literally my best friend

[@kevinshea9794]

Marty certainly has helped the lions share of internet students but I will add that you, and Justin, and so many others have certainly had an impact as well and we as students of guitar, appreciate it.

[@nataliecarlin9088]

You two are great. Thanks for the lessons over the years.. GL 365 Carl B , Justin Guitar , Lick n riff , Ivor sorefingers have all helped massively. To any Knofler fans out there Pavel Femekov is prob the best to learn from. Also Fenneh Rob and Quick acoustic ditties are great for fingerstyle playing lessons.

[@qanthon41]

He’s Taught me, all of my friends and even my wife found his videos whenever she first picked up the guitar

[@grantwatsonbuzzyfrets]

I've never heard Marty go off like that, it was really good to see you guys just having fun.

[@rww71]

Marty, you, Beato, Mike from Art of Guitar - while I 100% think I tend to lose focus off internet learning vs in person, I also love that you guys all bring your skills and knowledge to us all and I for sure have benefited from so many of your videos overall.

[@bravo4adventure988]

First (and still only) song that I learned the whole thing was “Wish You Were Here” I learned from Marty. Learned the main riff for “Histeria” from Tyler. My son learned from Marty while I was in Iraq with the Army on an Epiphone SG that I got him for his birthday. He’s now about to turn 29 and a pretty good guitarist.

[@Kevin-nh9yz]

Marty has taught me guitar...Well he did his best. For sure he shows up with his best sounding guitar. Classic. Great video as always. Cheers!

[@francisdescoteaux7454]

Marty was there when I started playing. I watched his videos and now, I know how to play guitar and I love it. Thanks Marty

[@MrAyla]

Robbie Robertson of The Band was a master of pinch harmonics! His playing influenced me greatly. I remember once when I was a guitar salesman a young customer asked me what pickups were best for pinch harmonics, I grabbed an acoustic guitar and showed him it was all in the thumb and no pickups were needed. You don’t need a lot of gain

[@groovelife415]

I've been playing guitar since I was 7 years old. Professionally from the age of 16 in 1996 to 2003, then back to a hobbyist. At 44 years old I still go to jam sessions occasionally and sit in with cover bands here and there around Chicago. The first place I go when I need to get the basics of a song down quickly is MartyMusic or Carl from Guitar Lessons 365.

[@tyee4u]

I’ve been playing guitar for 50 years but I’ve learned more from Marty in the last 5 years than the previous 45. Thanks for all you do Marty 👍

[@Roy_Gaber]

Sweet! You guys definitely rock as teachers and more so as players. Theory, hands down, is you Ty, I have been playing for many decades and never thought I'd need to know theory, you proved me wrong, and while I am no longer subscribed to your lesson plans, I learned a wealth of the nuts and bolts of guitar playing theory from you. Marty simply rocks, he has become a household name in guitar lessons, not selling you short, you rock as well. Thanks for making this video.

[@jwhitty14]

My earliest forays into KZbin years and years ago was watching Marty . He's a legend and I'm still subscribed.

[@travismaxwell9805]

Marty is not only the best guitar teacher, he is one of the best teachers, period. I use a lot of what I learned from Marty in my teaching and it has nothing to do with guitar. First off, show what you plan to teach in the beginning, then break it down and practice until you sound like Marty.

[@thomasfritsch3536]

❤bringing new meaning to the fraze may the Swartz be with you world wide thanks Marty from me in NY my nephew in Italy and all my rocking brothers and sisters in Ireland and Amsterdam we love the Swartz. 😂

[@nixternal]

Justin Guitar was my main source, I followed his plans & am still following the later intermediate & advanced stuff. There are a few who have guided some of my song learning, like Marty, Guitar Zero 2 Hero, Swift Lessons, and Fretmore for my classic country tunes, Lessons with Marcel & Brandon Johnson for bluegrass chops, but trying to play what Trey Hensley puts out will keep you busy too. When it comes to building my practice session, holy smokes there are a ton, including you. As you can tell I love Bluegrass & Classic Country and Classic Rock, but come on, Bernth has some of the best workouts there are, especially for synchronization.

[@robbieasaldo2090]

The intro, "Hey, what's up you guys, Marty Schwartz here with Marty music" will always be iconic

[@jakubborczuch7543]

Marty is a personal favorite from the teachers that are on KZbin that I reached out to when I needed a lesson or two.

[@bwall615]

I’m 56 now. Started playing professionally in the 80’s. I’ve been studying saxophone lines recently. I thought about “Careless Whisper” and thought I bet Marty has a lesson, and he did.

[@jurisprudence6549]

Definitely a big ass pie to share for all the online guitar teachers. I watch a ton of guitar content, I love watching Marty when I want to just learn a song quick, Music is Win is hilarious, Justin Guitar was the first one I found and he taught me the basics, I really like Michael Palmisano these days for the way he explains theory, Mary Spender because she is awesome and I have a crush on her, and so many more. Thank you guys for doing what you do, I would probably still suck hard on a guitar without you guys.

[@taylorpovm]

Omg hearing how Marty started 😭😭😭 love him so much! I thought he was gonna say “that’s it I’m done” but no, he did something above and beyond to help his student

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Your Guitar Sage. I've been around a long time taking in the wisdom of these online masters. And while I'm a huge fan of Mary's since his beginnings, I think Yourguitarsage was the first one I saw. His earliest video dates back 17 years to 2007. I've seen all the ones mentioned in other posts and I think I've learned at least a song from each and every one. I thank you all. Keep up the fantastic work for all the aspiring guitarists.
