[@Pharmaster1985]

Just saw this link for the Katana patch, once again Marty, you keep me rocking in 😊 Thanks teacher !

[@amonterroso069]

I'm a beginner and i want to learn watching your videos. Which cheaper guitar do you think can replicate this amazing song? Thanks in advance, i can tell you're the best at teaching!

[@Disco-Terry]

I feel like Can't Stop is a great example of songs that are easy to play but hard to play well, with all the mutes involved.

[@nuberiffic]

Yep, like the guy in the video - he's playing it wrong haha

[@fleetu1506]

nuberiffic how? I just wanna learn it right.

[@nuberiffic]

@@fleetu1506 well, it's kinda hard to explain in a youtube comment lol. Imagine the riff is made of low notes (BA) and the higher notes (da) The main riff goes: BA da da BABABA da da BABABA - and then starts with a new chord. He's playing BA da da BABA *REST* da da BABABA He's not playing a last low note

[@fleetu1506]

nuberiffic Ohh, I get it. Thanks!

[@gxqk112]

@@nuberiffic shoot, you are right. The rhythm that Marty is playing is the bass rhythm. On the guitar it is missing that one beat. I'm not sure which sounds better tho, bass line sounds funkier.

[@chrishansen9852]

This is one of those riffs where once you get it down you just don’t wanna stop playing

[@JesseMattingly-v3m]

My dad gave me a guitar when I was 12 years old and I remember wanting to play this song so bad. I sat there for hours trying to figure it out (without knowing anything) and got so frustrated that I gave up on guitar altogether. Here I am 23 years later learning how to play it for the first time. Thank you Marty and thank you dad for planting that seed

[@HR7T]

the percussive muting is so hard

[@HR7T]

Mark DeGeorge I can't get the speed right I've been playing for like under 7 months why is this shit so hard to do fast

[@reservoirfrog1]

Kris Hart yes but the best way to learn (I did it with this song) is to do every note until you can do it perfectly with no other strings ringing out. You need a certain looseness and light touch

[@jakefromstatefarm1535]

Keep practicing buddy.

[@SandeepSingh-zc5sh]

Practice using your thumb to mute the lower strings. It's so much easier that way and gives your other others more wiggle room.

[@patrickrosington1174]

@@SandeepSingh-zc5sh practice a nice miz of muting with your fingering hand and picking hand using ur thumb. Find a comfortable place to rest it. Everyones dif and every guitar is dif. Like my gibson les pauls i rest it in a certain spot on the bridge very lightly. Adjusting pressure and angle and i use the thumb wrap around technique too for my left hand. I learned early on with that styles from john f and hendrix. Etc. Its hard to learn later on. Learn while ur still learning the basics more or less. Youll get it. 7 months is nothing. Even 21 lol. You have decades of getting better ahead. Never stoo learning im 25 been playing for 10 years now. And i still learn more all the time

[@IDk-qw3qy]

Marty could you do guitar maintenance lessons, like changing strings, adjusting the action and truss rod. Thanks marty!

[@chrisjames1924]

Wow, after 10 weeks you're doing very well. I've been playing for over 25 years and it took me quite a while to get this down. More girls playing the better. Keep it up!

[@r0s3h1ps6]

Same here! My first lesson was in January and I can play this!

[@kevinvanleussen5879]

melancholy babies my goodness ive been trying to play this for over 2 months reguraly playing , and still cant even het close to the correct muting. Guess i suck at guitar

[@r0s3h1ps6]

Kevin van Leussen Dude some songs just come easy to some people. I can’t play smoke on the water at ALL.

[@kevinvanleussen5879]

melancholy babies yeah you’re right, i get so frustated tho i just need to keep trying. that worked with other songs i’ve learned

[@badcomma]

Even if what Marty's doing is beyond your current ability, just watching him break it down is worth the view.

[@victorstriga]

I remember back in January 2020 when I switched from acoustic to electric that I watched this video. It changed me so much and made me practice this riff day and night. At the time I didn't listened to the Chili Peppers at all, now I can't wait to see them live after this whole pandemic thing is over :). Thanks Marty!

[@JC-vi7cw]

Seen them live yet

[@aramriley7062]

Marty your a great teacher… After 2 years of feeling like I wasn’t getting anywhere….almost gave up and was about to sell my Martin guitar, but your videos came highly recommended by my dad and he said before you give up check this guys channel out ….and man you have made this journey of learning guitar much less overwhelming and fun again.

[@alukeofalltrades]

what a crazy coincidence! I was watching your video from like 6 years ago on this song, hoping you'd make a new one, and a day later you make one!

[@Gios_JDM_garage]

A tip I discovered while struggling to learn this (I’ve got it down now) keep your index finger in the position as if you were playing a barre chord with out pressing down your index finger, but do that for the whole riff instead of just the bass notes like Marty does. I’ve found that way to be way easier and it minimizes the amount that your hands need to move.

I since picked up a cheap electric and amp for my birthday and I'm starting to get kinda good with it - looking at upgrading soon because I'm playing every day now, and I'm only going to get better if I keep it up. Thanks again for making all these tutorials. Someday I'll be able to call myself a guitarist, and you're one person I can thank for that. 💙💛
