Oh Yes As im watching the lesson,Im drooling over the guitar. Absolutely gorgeous. Next guitar for me is a 335. Going to b in Nashville end of July and def will b back to my favorite place. The Garage and will b playing a few of those

[@RC32Smiths01]

Soloing I firmly believe is why we all keep coming back to guitar. It's the ultimate way to just show and express. Great work man!

[@Brosky1998]

It’s really the only reason I picked it up. I’m not even really interested in rhythm guitar

[@AchillesWrath1]

Well, i've been playing for 20+ years and never learned how to solo. But that's why im here i want to learn. I always figured i needed to know how to read music and know music theory. Which i don't but at least with lessons like this i can learn the patterns and maybe a few scales.

[@stevenxowens792]

Just the opposite for me. When I was a kid it was fast chugging. Now at 50 I’m finally trying more licks.

[@williambaumert7726]

Staying in the minor pentatonics something that helped me at the beginning was learn the root arpeggios for each position in each shape.

[@SickMetalAddict]

Marty Schwartz, you're the reason why I didn't quit guitar 10 years ago. My favorite video still is the one where you teach smells like teen spirit with a duck face and you start doing the duck sound. That cracked me up but left a lasting impression on me. I'm so happy to see you're still creating new generations of guitarists. Thanks for all the work you do.

Marty- I just wanted to share my appreciation to your KZbin channel. I have been playing guitar for about a year now - I took lessons which didnt help me much. But after a year of watching your videos I can honestly say that I can play over 80 songs now and have made leaps and bounds in my abilities. Thanks man - I look forward to continuing to follow you and learn

[@rowenaponciano9570]

My hubby learned a lot with your cool teaching martz,great bro..

[@dufusbug]

same here.....I have found a gold mine here on Marty Music channel!

[@IJR911]

Whenever I want to learn how to play a song or am having trouble with something, I look up Marty. I watch and go…Oh yea. Now I get it. He explains things in such a simple yet thorough way. He just has that knack. Super grateful for all the help. Thanks Marty! All the best.

[@garychristensen7585]

One of the best lessons I’ve seen from Marty👍

[@braydenmanning5753]

Honestly, this made such a difference. Learnt the 5 positions on pentatonic and a couple different modes but I didn't quite know how to use them! Was stuck in such a rut with it, I have a lot of fun still and get lost in playing alot but couldn't get anything to consistently sound great. Great lesson, great tips! Now I can break that next wall and make what I've learnt more useful.

[@nicafaustinoVC]

Marty, just so you know… your channel motivated me to get back to my music roots. I am 51 and keen to rekindle my passion for playing the guitar as I use to between 7 to 19 years old. Rock on! ❤😊

[@Conversationswithtony]

Marty, you taught me to the play the guitar over 10 years ago.. .....guitar is such a huge part of my life now....though I don't watch your videos much these day, I'm forever grateful to you. Thank you.

[@davidhannan4904]

Found Marty via his break down of 'she talks to angels' and then connected to his manner , style and method of teaching. .

Your lessons always blow my mind, Marty. Thanks a million.

[@rayhills5479]

Your by far the best teacher on the net thanks even your solo lessons rock better than the others

This is the best pentatonic blues soloing lesson I’ve seen. Fantastic Marty!

[@Backroad_Grommer]

I just keep learning daily Marty. Much respect from St Louis Missouri and many Thanks for all you do !!! Keep on keeping it real !!!

[@rtp-syr]

You are simply an amazing teacher. Not only you are an excellent player but know exactly how to teach. I have seen a million tutorials over the internet and while there are superb guitarists out there they are not able to convey their knowledge so effectively as you do. Thumbs up.

[@leewallace2804]

I am just learning at 74 Yr old and your instructional style is easy to follow.. thanks

[@omarcapaso7156]

Been playing 4 years and you’ve been there the whole way Marty ✊🏻

[@guytrogani5374]

Great Lesson, Very valuable and extremely informative... Thanks!

[@andrealacruz3261]

This is the most helpful and encouraging video I have seen concerning learning how to solo. I can't tell you how long I have struggled making scales make any sense to me on a soloing level and you literally made it clear and attainable in the first 3 minutes. Wow. Thank you!

[@proplection]

thank you so much, you start with the basics and demonstrate at a skill level i can understand. gotta learn to walk before you can run

[@chuckwn]

THIS is the missing link I have been looking for. For almost 40 years! Thank you thank you THANK YOU!!!

[@joestaples6683]

Easily the most helpful video I have found pertaining to soloing. For awhile I was stuck, just combining my vocabulary with no real direction. These exercises add another element that really light up my playing. Thanks, man!!

[@maryjoribas460]

Marty, you are an Awesome guitar instructor !! You are so much better than so many who don't take the time and detail or go slow enough that you do to progress a student through ! Others may go too fast or don't take the time to show specific notes and progressions the way you do . You simplify it well and lay it out so you're easy to follow ! I have played awhile and had lessons, which helps, but your instruction sheds new light for me on how to have fun continuing to learn ! Thank you for your excellent guidance, Marty !

[@richardherrin9920]

Playin my acoustic guitars for about ten years, last 12 months following Marty, going to buy a used strat and an amp, can't wait to play an electric for the first time ever...thanks for the tutorials...you have surely helped many people thru this pandemic, playing two hours a day for almost a year, I can see progress...👍🎸thanks for all the awesome videos..

[@jackabsolute5525]

This lesson gave me a direction to practice. I've been learning the scales with no idea how to use them. This really opened things up for me. Thanks, man!

[@SilentK_Art]

Thanks for making this easy to understand.

[@TheGuitarist666]

Marty, from the bottom of my heart and at the upmost honesty, you are the reason why I still even play guitar. First song I ever learned, which is weird, was master of puppets. And to any beginners reading rhis comment, start with a hard song. It sounds weird, but trust me, it will improve you greatly, and I started with alot of these more intermediate or advanced songs, and learnt the easier songs later down my road, my point is if you want to be good, learn hard songs off the get-go, as you will be amazing, first few years of playing guitar started in 2019, I was 11, and was really into metallica, so naturally, I learnt my favorite bands songs, map, was my favorite, so I learnt it, every 5th fret of each string, is the open note of the next string higher, (example, low e 5th fret is the same note as open a note.) Which I used to my advantage. I didn't start map on 7th fret a string, i started on 12 fret low e, went down to 2nd fret. That's called music theory, and it's crucial, and it's the first important thing I did, and learned and still use. But I also used a string for more compact shapes, as playing 5 frets ahead for a complex shape to alternate is counter-productive, so use it when necessary, but I really couldn't learn half the brain I have without this man. He changed me and shaped me into the guitarist I am today, and tomorrow since it's night for me, I'm going to learn solo stuff as it's been on my bucket list for a while. So, love yall, love ya Marty, anyone who's playing guitar, never give in, and keep going, and same with you Marty, keep rocking, anyways, I'm off, peace everybody.

This is a HUGE help. I remember a time before the internet came along and you could Ask Jeeves anything about guitar chords.
