Hey Marty ! what was your pick choice for this tutorial ? thank you for great tips xx

"I don't know you" hurt. But... I've always known the truth and maybe it's time I faced it.

He knows us Zac 😢 he knows us 😭

What a way to kill a parasocial relationship.

[@brotatochip7001]

He’s just teasing us. He keeps acting like he’s going to play can’t stop, but then doesn’t.

[@RyanxDunn]

I felt it, too lol. I feel like I got a bonus guitar lesson on how to play that riff though

[@justd3fy]

can't start

[@HikingFeral]

Oh my god THANKYOU

15 years later and I'm still playing you basically taught me to play music man. Thanks so much Marty 🤙🏻 much love

[@lindagaitan6111]

This is so freaking HARD can you do one for like- none perfessionals

[@michelaraujo183]

dont try at the same speed as marty is playing, do slowly them you speed up, its hard because is new but you get through it with practice

[@bonboi4590]

Another tip, don’t press down, just hold them

[@giga_nnja9523]

Wonder what you are doing now Linda, i hope you got better cuz me im just starting

[@aromlaa7066]

@@bonboi4590i really thank you bro 👊💀

[@ericwinter4513]

The use of palm muting here was a total revelation. Amazing lesson!

[@BruceGoett]

That is so hard to do. Just doing the percussion thing sounds great and I think it's a great way to practice different strumming patterns. But man, I find it hard to hit individual notes so it sounds good.

[@alanjohnfield5544]

Really good lessons Marty , I am nearly blind and I started guitar to keep my mind off what was happening to me. You have helped ma a lot keep up the good work1

[@jondoe2099]

Thought for so long what I would do if I ever lost sight... well, I am now determined to become a fluent guitarist. That would just be the most therapeutic thing I could think of if I couldn't see.

[@noescapeforyou1747]

3:26 anyone else hear "Can't Stop" by the red hot chili peppers😂😂

[@methaskornpipatna715]

I'm pretty sure that was intentional

[@simonbonenfant5374]

thanks a lot Marty...i am 37 I have touch a guitar for the first time 5 years ago and now i can play confortably numb solos...so thank you very much😎

[@streamhellofutureforclearskin]

thanks for this video! so informative as a beginner. i had an idea of what muting was but this video helped me understand all the different ways to mute strings :)

[@elijahrobinett1736]

Thank you so much! I've been looking all over for a left handed technique! I don't have a left hand and I have to play reversed and I've been trying to find a way to play muted with my right/your left hand.

[@fmartini86]

The cool thing about Marty is still!.....He always brings fun in the lesson. Right here it is about string muting. And he makes it fun.

[@vincenzocalia6552]

Loved it.. clear and straight to the point! No ns to make a 15 mins video. Just what I was looking for. Thanks bro. Now time to practice mutings I wanted to learn since Lenny's Always on the run, but seems a bit easier to start with the rhcp's can't stop. Any suggestion for other songs that make great use of muting? Cheers

Are we all here for this reason 😭😭

[@neurolife77]

So accurate! lmao

[@dylanroberson3856]

You should do a lesson on how to play neil yound down by the river. One of my favorites. Keep up the good work

[@get_downed_boi6270]

I love how over the years aka before 2011 your guitar skills have gotten far more personal and you’ve really mastered the craft and the art.

[@benwise665]

I've been wanting to learn how to do this properly as my technique gradually improves... a brilliant demonstration. Thank you.

[@aparise1]

Thanks Marty.....this seems like it should be the simplest thing, but it's not to me. I've watched numerous videos trying to figure it out.....Your explanation and suggestions really seem to make sense. I'm confident this is going to help me finally! !!

[@thehumanpractice2985]

Damn, that seemed simple, but there are a lot of concepts to practice. Thank you Marty! First time checking out, already subscribing!

[@garrettallen7140]

Hey Marty could you do a lesson on how to keep other strings from ringing out while playing/unwanted string noise

[@smerglederf3494]

thats essentially what he does in this video, its all about muting techniques

[@blackreaper9318]

It's pretty simple yet it takes time to do it properly

[@jocelynhoppe7424]

Yes!!!!!!! Please!!!!!

[@falco7626]

3:20 dude just started playing can't stop lol

[@gingerbread1521]

Thanks Marty! My band are gonna play TNT at our school and I was learning the tabs and this video really helped( there’s a lot of muting)

[@aSpeaker2BlocksAway]

this was a breakthrough feeling.. even if it does not work every hit... but it is getting more and more

[@Roguepoipoi]

Thanks Marty this helps a lot. Gotten a better understanding on how to mute now.

[@LeeFKoch]

I know this video is pretty old, but I think it's really important, especially for newbies like me. I've been playing acoustic guitar for 30 years, and only just started electric guitar last year. String muting is one of the most vital techniques to master (I am still struggling with it), especially for playing rhythm guitar, yet it (and rhythm guitar for that matter) hardly gets any attention. So, thanks, Marty!

[@robbygless]

I love how you jam out at the beginning of each video lol

[@rudolfkurtz9847]

marty, that is simply amazing, thank You❗️

[@William_sJazzLoft]

Thank you Marty. Like so many of your lessons, this one is very top notch. Obviously, I'll watch the video several times because each time there's something that I pick up. Thank you again

[@victorlazlo5815]

Great tips!

[@zakeeparker8668]

Really wish I could play like you man appricate your help brother 🤟🤟

[@katie7914]

I'm so glad I found this video cos i thought you just had to very quickly pluck each string individually to play more than one at one time lmao

[@eyeswideopenharmony8239]

Same 😂😂

[@stephendavis5530]

Useful stuff....especially the palm muting because I have a bit of a problem with palm muting.

[@UlisesMegy]

Bro played can’t stop and thought we wouldn’t notice

[@RyanxDunn]

Very good tutorial that's already given me ideas on how to use the muting technique musically. Thanks, Marty

[@jamesdhardy]

right on Marty! appreciate it

[@oscarriisgaard]

You need to do Mac Demarco - freaking out the neighborhood

[@reaeace]

Oscar Riisgaard YES

[@eyedunno8462]

Just lazily leave your fretting hand on one position, find any cords there and then add the worst chorus effect you can find. Done.

[@jcburger733]

Thanks for the cool lesson on strings muting techniques!!

[@donnieobrien7353]

Marty you f**king killed that opener. Im stoned right now and that killed! Good job

[@jo6026]

Omg I heard can't stop around 3:27 hahah very nice

[@lcvd1]

It would be nice to see a tutorial on the left hand muting technique used in Stand Back by Stevie Nicks' guitarist. There are some nice live performances of it in other channels.

[@Ashdown212]

I just started learning to play and I feel learning muting will help SO MUCH! anyone got any beginner tips? Hugely appreciated 😊

[@GetInShapeWithDavid]

Thank you sir, I needed this one.

[@brianodonnell358]

Marty could you possibly show me how to play Fisherman’s Blues by The Waterboys. Your channel is by far the best on you tube. Keep up the great work. Many thanks Brian

[@rootboycooks]

Cut the cake, Marty!

[@Chancezahr2000]

Hey Marty I really love your lessons because it helped me learn a lot of music as a beginner and I really appreciate that! One favor if you could please, can you do a video on how to play Lets get it on by Marvin Gaye? I really wanna learn that but none zooms in on the chords and I'm still learning what each chord is called and again thank you so much!

[@NandoGriffiths]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@DoItYourselfIllinois]

Much appreciate this vid! Need to practice this idea so I can do it naturally. Thank you!

[@d08scl]

Hi Marty, I know this is a pretty old video but I was trawling through trying to find good string muting instruction… Great lesson. I just wanted to say, did you realise that when you’re playing on the D string with your index and pinky, that your middle two fingers are bouncing up and down on the A string to mute it as well? Just a thought, thanks mate.

[@cmmnsenserules4339]

I watched this a month ago .....now, I mute without even realizing it!!! PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!!

[@stevemajic2958]

In my experience what you taught was good however more detail and alternate angles and closeups would benefit the lesson greatly Marty. This skill is one that in my experience requires MUCH DELIBERATE FOCUS AND DETAIL by the instructor and many on the LEARNING end find this aspect of skill building very frustrating!!! Thank you!😁

[@stephenmcconnell7868]

Thanks for this. I have tons of your old video courses, but they didn't cover this. As I move from acoustic to electric guitar (I have become a DeadHead) and trying to play like Bob Weir, I find that when I dig in to rhythm unwanted strings ring out.... (My acoustic playing doesn't do that). These techniques solve SO many problems I'm having in my transition. I am really having trouble with Triads on the 2,3 & 4 strings. Muting the strings above and muting the 1 string. Lots of work to do.

[@RateOfChange]

Came here because I wanted to learn to learn how to play can't stop properly. Seems like I've picked the right video.

[@tallpaul8880]

Another great lesson as always. I would love to see you do some Avett brothers. Thanks for posting ✌🏼

Rock on Shell guitar add. Bad ass!! I know it's not you ... about to listen to video. Paused to try. KZbin won't let me pause typing. Either send or quit. Be back.

[@schwenke069]

Got it. I'm trying to learn with way more gain ... but I'm sure the same principles apply. Do what I got to do. Thanks.

[@__carbon__]

That lil can't stop in there

[@stevemajic2958]

It would be MOST BENEFICIAL if we could see WHEN AND WHERE your right and left hand fingers and palm areas were ACTUALLY TOUCHING THE STRINGS AS WELL AS RIGHT HAND PLACEMENT ON THE FRETBOARD. This skill is as difficult one to develop and VERY FRUSTRATING for many trying to learn it. Any chance of another such video covering the afore mentioned???

[@joshnorko5586]

Good stuff again man, thank you

[@johnbryngelsson]

Great video👌

do a lesson for is there anybody out there by pink floyd pleasee (acoustic)

great -- really helpful and useful to know!

Could you do a tutorial on dandelion wine! there are no tutorials on the internet, and you teach guitar the best out of anyone I have ever watched/learned from.

[@autocrow]

Muting is tough. Especially using the pinky. That's why I have trouble with "Pride And Joy." I do need to practice muting more.

[@AoMusicStudio]

❤❤❤ Thank u

[@rudranaksh9540]

John mayer is a master of this technique he can do this in acoustic guitar as well which is way harder compared to doing electric in electric guitar

[@mrx-b3i]

amazing

[@GradeEcho]

I need someone to use the main riff of Smells Like Teen Spirit as a tutorial example because that's the main beginner song I would love to learn this for

[@kodyoliva8183]

Marty could you do the solo sections of Can’t you see by Marshall Tucker?

[@antonrazzouk6767]

Ah vanilla guitar again, loving that telecaster Marty, good job :)

[@tony_sheppard165]

Another great lesson thanks Marty XD, wondering plz could you do a lesson on “I wanna go home” or “home” that would be awesome! It’s all acoustic btw

[@lucasc5622]

DO YOU LIKE SONGS THAT HAVE HOME IN THE TITLE? DO YOU?

[@tdtom1376]

Just what I needed! Maybe a different camera angle, like from the headstock toward the bridge, along the fretboard, would also help show the finger contact?

[@BenKittrellPlus]

FYI, something I recent learned is that a lower action makes it much harder to mute effectively. You end up accidentally fretting strings. Higher action makes it much easier.

[@reaeace]

Oh noticed u started playing cant stop by rhcp

[@juniorranger2372]

Please Marty, my god, play Sliver by Nirvana on acoustic guitar. Teach Us.

[@Sliver90]

It's only three chords

[@juliansandoval5247]

Bruh

[@scottglass2218]

Hey Marty, first thanks love your videos. I was wondering if loosening your grip on the pick is a good way to get the right sound when muting strings. I'm learning Feels Like Teen Spirit and the fast strumming is making the muted strings not sound well like it does on your tutorial video. Are you also palm muting?

[@ianpedersen673]

Trying to work on can’t stop by rhcp and need some tips for muting

[@paulcampbell1106]

please cover "in the year 2525" keep the vids coming, you do great.

[@niesawniesawny6290]

Hey Marty, could you please try to work on "Sharp dressed man"? One of the best blues-rock songs of all time ;)

[@cristysnyder7816]

I would like to learn Yellow Ledbetter by Pearl Jam.

[@benderbendingrodriguez5306]

Awesome choice, me too

[@williampeetoom6561]

I really do enjoy all the work you put into your videos and not to bother you but could we learn some of Bon Jovi please.

[@indonova2763]

3:30 I can tell you want to play it Marty, give in... 😈

[@Not_Deku]

I've got a lesson request for you if you take requests. If you could, can you show how to play so far away by avenged sevenfold? But if not maybe buried alive by the same artist? If not I understand. Thanks either way!

[@eastonliddiard713]

Eyyyy Marty! Think you could do Ventura Highway by America?

[@atomic40]

Sweet Tele

[@cooperstine]

Could you do a tutorial on this love by maroon 5 I can’t find a good one for beginners and I really want to learn it

[@asylumrain]

Just gonna have to keep practicing

[@warrenharman3435]

Just Ask Marty Department: Please do a video of the percussive electric guitar techniques of Tab Benoit. He does this fast triplet thing that is all percussion, no fretted notes. I can't find anything on how to learn this anywhere. I think it would make a great drum "call and response" for live performance. Tab explains he learned this by being a drummer first. Suggestions?

[@loutheglassguy4658]

Marty you should do a tutorial on life for the taking by eddie money

[@captainmx_2215]

Hey Marty love your videos man , I play guitar as well thanks to you and other youtubers but I wanted to ask if you can do a tutorial or a cover for phantom pt 2 by Justice 🙂

[@tracyboler5294]

Whats up Marty

[@wesleymorris1]

Are you using a over Drive peddle? When muting

[@Khennedi2333]

What kind of effect is on his guitar in the beginning of the video?

[@SPMUZICTV]

Good day sir Thank you Sir for this knowledge. I will be glad if you can play any song by ABLE C (From Nigeria)
