@Peter Martins Yea, Marty is the real deal, who also teaches. They sounded great together, kind of smooth jazz feel.

[@BananaFromMars]

Weird seeing Marty Schwartz in HD.

[@GManWrites]

Marty Music is all in HD

[@eareffect]

You are used to see him in 4K?

[@RilesAgain]

This comment killed me. Thank you lmfao.

[@lofr8982]

Wow! Marty is a real genuine person. I always thought he was a robot sent from the future to save guitar.

[@dawnkirkbride6466]

I hope he does know how important he is?a friend of mine has a condition where he just couldn't communicate or mix with others at school so he took up the guitar and learnt via Martys lessons and he's now not only a great guitar player but he's more confidence to talk to people.

[@Emi_Alvarez]

I have so much love for Marty, he was there in my begginer years and he still here still giving so much to new guitarist everywere, I owe him a lot.

[@Onesmo]

Am I the only one who smiled during the entire video? I mean these are two of my favorite guitarists on KZbin! !!

[@joq702]

Marty’s best skill in his teachings, for me, is I never feel like he is talking down to me, juts explaining and encouraging. I like that. He’s definitely an optimist for what he can do for us amateurs just wanting to play some new songs and get better. I find that his encouragement opens the door for more creativity.

[@sublimingmule6356]

Marty is the reason I play guitar as well as I do. I don't know how far I would have gotten musically without his videos early on in my journey. I mean, I was always ambitious, but learning guitar completely on my own would have been rather difficult. I appreciate the heck out of Marty Schwartz.

[@mlsproject]

Marty is a gift to the guitar community. Really cool to have you two working together on this video. Thanks for doing that!

[@kevinedwards1956]

I love the fact that Ms. Spender doesn't mind learning new things its very sweet to see the gleam in her eyes as she learning something new!

[@TVguy9999]

Marty is an ABSOLUTE MASTER at teaching how to play guitar. I’ve been watching him for years...and he breaks down the complex into usable and memorable small parts. PROGRESS IS INEVITABLE...with Marty Schwartz!!!

[@Badonkadonker]

THE BEST GUITAR TEACHER EVER. Started me on guitar, will never stop, cannot thank you enough, Marty! You are a legend!!!

[@whosavestherescue]

Dude I learned so much from this guy when I first started playing guitar by watching his videos awesome Tuesdays talks as always

[@stevengriffin1676]

My two most favorite people on video! "On the couch!" Having a rap, jam, sesh! Best [by far] Tuesday Talks! You play well together! Hey, you play well separate but together having a jam is so cool!

[@garrickpridemore413]

Been a student of Marty's pretty much the entire 10 years he's been teaching online, and honestly just came across Mary from Marty's livestream and am completely diggin her style/personality/channel as well! Mary you've gained a fan!

[@tomrouse9885]

Marty is the best teacher on I've ever had. 1 year in know many songs all thanks to this man. Much love marty. You are the man.

[@troygarrity5299]

I like Mary's suggestion to learn songs all the way through, best tip ever.

[@danieldamore3187]

Oh man the nostalgia of learning so many songs from Marty’s videos when I was younger. Even my dad started learning tunes from his videos!

[@rothe31]

Mary and Marty, could it get much better!? Love seeing the two styles come together and share advice!

[@dwaggs7037]

Yes, it could. Add Justin Sanderco and you have the KZbin trifecta.

[@calicosky9863]

I remember watching him when i was 10 yo to learn guitar

[@johnnymossville]

Marty is easily my favorite youtube guitar teacher. Been watching for years, even when I've strayed away from playing guitar.

[@BeatleJWOL]

My favorite pick-in-guitar moment is that picture of John Lennon when the Beatles were in India, holding his guitar over his head upside down and looking in the soundhole. I figure that just means losing your pick in your guitar puts you in good company.

[@dustra5000]

This is probably the best collab I could of never expected, I love Marty so much

[@DarrellYoung-jg6xy]

Mary is a beautiful human all around. Marty is a beautiful person in his own way. I have been a Marty fan for years. I recently discovered Mary seperately. I was drawn to each of them instantly. Thanks for getting together for this session.

[@hasanm.hallak1113]

It's weird to see the left side of Marty Schwartz

[@boondockingwithvincent4912]

Marty is the reason i can play many solo's now and helped me up my progress by alot! Love this guy!

[@stevestringer7351]

Much respect to you Mary. You could easily just say that you already are at a certain level of playing and not worry about trying something new. You are using the plectrum.... granted more work is needed, but you are open to new methods. I am new to your channel and am glad I have found your video world. Cheers my friend!

[@pearl672]

Mary’s playing is great and Marty you are so modest and your accompaniment is awesome!

[@quailstudios]

This is really fun! Thanks Mary and Marty. So fun to see you both together. She mentioned Mike Daws. Cool.

[@slimshadyfoeva333]

Mary: *asks for a guitar lesson* Also Mary: *watches Marty play riff for 10 seconds and then immediately plays it perfectly **3:36*

[@capcapcapitycap9995]

Thank you I was looking for that time stamp I accidentally rewired and I couldn't find it

[@mickclark4861]

Marty is a legend on You Tube, I’ve learnt so much from him. It’s so nice to see how much you both admire each other. Your videos Mary are now up there with the best. Good luck in all you do.

[@ArnoldsIOS]

The ending was so heart warming! I remember the first video I saw of Marty was like in 2012!! Haha or maybe 13. Marty you will for ever be my guitar teacher 😌🙏

[@samh-smith2931]

Beautiful work guys, that intro gave me goosebumps for real, learning from your site and videos for 8 months now and so grateful for all your work out here marty @

[@murphygraham4724]

It is really cool how you two and Rick Beato, and others, have found a way to make a living with music without having to subjugate to the soul-sucking music industry and you are helping to save the medium and inspire young musicians. For me, your engaging personalities and love of music is just so much fun, I am going to pick up my guitar and just play, like right now. Interesting thoughts on gripping the pick. I’m going to try the three finger idea. Thank you both!

[@klee350]

You guys sound so good together. Marty was one of the first you tubers I binge watched for guitar lessons. And I've watched you A lot lately. Seeing you 2 together and jamming so naturally, is just awesome. Love the sound you guys were creating.

[@toussaintmalik8639]

love marty's reaction when you change the rhythm part lol

[@do00]

This video is not just great for its educational value, it's just heart-warming to see these two great guys together, on the same couch, talking shop and being super nice people. Love you guys.

[@martinmcgimpsey9750]

I have followed a lot of tutorials of Marty’s! I have learned several songs and a whole lot of techniques and fundamentals! He is an awesome guitarist and a very good teacher, very easy to follow! I’ve always learned something new and enjoyed the lesson! Your so lucky! Awesome, Rock on Marty! Thanks for the upload Mary!

[@HoracioGarciaMusic]

Still stoked that you played Primrose on the stream! You're the best!

[@recabitejehonadab2654]

These are two great guitar teachers that have awesome personalities that all can learn to play from. It’s cool to sit in and see them trade off guitar techniques.

[@alexander33221]

Remember learning the riff to Come As You Are like 6 years ago from Marty's teaching. Totally recommend him, he's amazing!

[@matthewluttrell9413]

Being that I'm missing the tip of my index finger it's nice to see these two discussing the little nuances to holding picks and finger picking. It gives me a few ideas on what to try next

[@Finkardop]

You know you've made it when you do a lesson with marty. Dude legit taught me guitar

[@thepopefrancis3015]

“Think about your weaknesses”. My weakness is playing guitar :v

[@FrankLafone]

It's like when people ask your weakness in golf.... ohh... just using my clubs. Any of'em :)

[@gj4312]

Then you should play guitar.

[@Kuroi733]

Your weakness is being corrupt by the system pope.

[@billpalmisano]

My weakness. Failure to practice.

[@toddhaser]

I have worked through a lot of Marty’s videos. I have worked through a lot of Tony Polecastro’s finger picking and flat picking warm ups and songs. I have had shred lessons with Mrs. Smith - which then took my guitar journey to a whole new level... Because I love both styles, I am trying to learn Hybrid picking, now. Hybrid picking gives me most of what I can do in finger picking PLUS everything I can do/learn with flat picking (and economy picking, 3 notes per string, etc).

[@d3w4yn3]

The live jam!!! This is a wonderful moment in my life!!!

[@SkaYouth]

I had stop playing guitar for a while (decide to play other instruments, guitar is just not for me) but when I started playing this dude help me a lot when I first trying to learn how to play guitar. I learned a lot from him. He is the OG of youtube guitar lesson video.

[@akashghosh7068]

Marty has helped a lot in my slow but steady journey to learn guitar. A true inspiration.

[@musicman9698]

Marty: start with a super light pick. Me: *casually puts down my big stubby*

[@colinoliphant3509]

Yup with ye there bro ...thought 1 size & that was that 😂🤔

[@jeffkuhn6003]

I realized this a while back on my own and it was a game changer!

[@colinoliphant3509]

@@jeffkuhn6003 Good stuff mate, happy strummin 😎👌🎸

[@tomcoryell]

I just keep my Big Stubby and loosen my grip on it ever so slightly. Love the big stubby!

[@dannobilly]

I think light picks are only for acoustic guitar. I've recently converted to 1.3-1.5mm jazz picks and so much happier

[@danmccarthy2754]

two of my favorite guitarists - Martay ! and the ever so lovely and talented Mary ! Mary, you helped me play that clean , extra sustain and reverb style. Marty helped me learn so many songs. I played along with Mary so many times, these callouses are a testament to my determination. Thanks you two ! love ya.

[@JakeTorres0206]

Love having coffee while listening to your jam..

[@jgeraci1]

Found Marty 10 years ago , found you today. KZbin is a pretty cool thing

[@williamjahn7514]

I started out using a pick in 1963 , shortly after I included finger picking. I like both. Then since I could still basically do both what I did was use a flat pick and my fingers which over time became my thumb against the index the top of the index nail becomes the pick.

[@wheezyjefferson9136]

Great to see two of my favorites together! For the life of me, I cant use a pick, I use the back of my index fingernail. I keep trying picks and fingerpicking, maybe some day. I've only played 3 years.

[@colinoliphant3509]

Ah me 2 index finger plectrum Unique sound though 😉a think anyway😎🎸

[@zazoomatt]

Very Pleasant in every Possible Way.........Thank you Both.

it's refreshing to see that even legends drop a pick in the sound hole hahahhaha

Getty Mary Spender on your Tuesday Talks... Marty you are the best I am so happy for your success you have taught the internet how to play guitar.

[@richardchavez7988]

Am a new subscriber since watching you on Marty live last week, and I gotta say you both are phenomenal guitar players and two of the “Coolest” people on planet earth.. Thanks for sharing your talents!

Thoroughly enjoyed that!

[@patrickpalmer3374]

Marty has helped me a lot. I wish I had a fraction of his mastery you have also helped me Mary I bounce because all of you from time to time show the thing I'm searching for but don't know what it is. Thank you both.

[@Xyvo10]

My step by step guitar instructor Marty. You have done good deeds for guitar players of all ages homie!!!!

[@Benry1]

this guy got me started! love marty & mary

[@m.stewart8094]

Always amazed as Mary's ability to network in the KZbinverse. She pretty much has done crossovers with every established guitar youtuber out there. Marty is the best.

[@TroyNaumu808]

I love fingerpicking. I tried to do the pluck-trum pick many times over the many years. But fingers is it for me.. I am more of a strummer anyways and i do not do much solo picking so the fingers work for me. Yea I can always work on getting better and work on weaknesses and so on. But for what I do I am finger style and can put the thumb and finger picks if I needed to do so. Or maybe just the thumb pick. I was taught by my dad when i was little and he played mostly acoustic guitar and ukulele but he had a electric too. i inherited all of his musical stuff when he passed asway. Playing with my fingers is so organic for me. No losing your pick or having to buy a pick. With the fingers you are ready to go right away.

[@visitur4914]

"To get better at something, you have to not avoid it." I'm going to keep that in mind. I'm very much to Mary's side: I naturally gravitate to fingerpicking. Still, I try to at least pick up a plectrum every day, so it doesn't become this crazy, weird, uncomfortable thing that I never do.

[@MelGattis]

OMG!!!! This was sick. I've been watching Marty for a while and just got up on Mary. Loving you too jamming together.

[@MajRatbag]

I recommend a small pick like a Jazz III, the standard size pick is way too big and gets in the way of pinch harmonics (for me anyway).

[@passionguitar666]

So fun to see marty here, i have been playing guitar since i was 13 and i am now 22 years old! The first videos i used to watch were marty's because they were so easy to understand! Thank you for all these years of learning some songs from you!

[@FabrizioPeretti]

How nice marty's playing! Knew him for ages but never had a chance to ear him jam!

[@rothe31]

I see Andy McKee out and about every once in a while since we live in the same town. Though I've never went and talked to him since he has been with his wife and son every time I've ran into him.

[@HikingFeral]

This is my favourite video you've done Mary

[@dwaggs7037]

Glad the pick drop was kept in. It shows even those we look up to are human and not infallible. It rather encourages me to continue knowing that even the great players make mistakes.

[@machone7580]

Sympathize with Mary on this one. I learned to play and never used a pick. Having a very difficult time trying to adjust and play with a pick. Its tough to change everything you know. Mary, you are great weather you use a pick or not, don't sweat it!!

[@patgallagher6692]

Marty was brilliant. Great listening to you both.

[@RebelTheUncanny1]

Sounding good together in that intro tune.

[@luisvillarreal5262]

I've been playing guitar using my index finger nail for 40 yrs now. It feels so unnatural to play with a pick, but I want to start using a pick, especially for alternate/hybrid picking. I think my reason for not using a pick was to keep a low volume on my strumming as I practiced. It's great to see you both together. Great info.

[@chuangnokrek8513]

Fantastic! My 2 favorite tube celebs on the same couch!

[@danieferreira9094]

I also recently started playing with a pic. It’s been hard moving away from pure finger style! Been avoiding pics until now!

[@thememoryhole9355]

Haven't gotten to the end of the vid yet .. but I hope they cover hybrid picking, where you use a plectrum to pick but still use your free fingers to do arpeggios etc. Then you have the volume as well as the versatility. To me, the correct answer to this plectrum or finger argument is you can do BOTH at the same time. Most things in life aren't actually either/or. Loved this video and appreciate the heck out of both of you.

[@CleatSurfer]

Fun video. Marty is one of my favorites and it was great to watch you be a little uncomfortable trying out rhythm with the pick and how that can affect other things you’ve previously mastered.

[@mitchelm9828]

Marty is a treasure. Has taught me many songs

[@chrisby2929]

Thanks. Good tips on using picks! Holding the pick with the first three fingers feels more natural to me than just the first two. An oldie, but a goodie KZbin video!
