I hired Marty in early 2000s. Probably 2002. He was just starting out as far as I can tell (KZbin did not exist for many years later) Marty back then, like now is a patient and well thought out educator in music. The most genuine musician perhaps I have ever met over 20 years of playing. I'm just saying. He taught me a ton in a short amount of time.

Hey Marty! Just wanted to thank you so much for having such a dope channel and being such an amazing teacher. I've got a 2 year old boy, and when he was an infant, for some random reason, he would only calm down if I sang "Plush" to him. It was a failsafe. Cut to a year later...I've been coming to your channel for a couple months now and just learned Plush from you...I was outside playing it, and when I finished, my boy turned around and said "Yay, daddy!" and ran over and gave me a big hug. Coolest moment of my life...and I have you to thank. Grateful. Continue to rock on brother and I will too!

I've seen a lot of tabs using 'grunge tuning' (all strings tuned down a full step) for this song, especially 'acoustic' versions.

[@sebastian-wd3gx]

The part where you have to mute the strings in between chords and play a percussive really confuses me

[@the_original_Bilb_Ono]

Why? What is confusing you? Its insanely easy and should come naturally. Actually *feel* the song and *feel* the rhythm and just do it. Lift your fretting hand off the chord but lightly cover the strings and strum. Its that simple. Again, just feel the rhythm. That is a technique you should really want to get down in your first month of playing guitar, its a base technique used in every genre... Try doing it with one chord, repeating the same chord. Dont over think it! The most common reason beginners and intermediates have difficulties with certain things is because they are over thinking and not letting their body take the lead. Once you do it once, you'll be able to do it effortlessly forever after.

[@the_original_Bilb_Ono]

Also in this specific song he is muting with his left and right hand at times. The muting you are probably talking about is a bit trickier, but still easy once you get it. Its basically a strum and slap quickly put together - really its almost simultaneously. I kinda bend my wrists upwards, so my pick is almost pointing upwards. And do a slapping motion at the same time im strumming. But practice both left and right hand muting. You can probably get by doing just one for this song but sound better with both.

[@owenmckee4053]

@@the_original_Bilb_Ono except it isn't just that simple is it. There's open strings in the chords so relaxing your fretting hand won't mute all the strings no matter how hard you try to fEeL tHe RhYtHm

[@the_original_Bilb_Ono]

@@owenmckee4053 i think its even more simple than that. I feel like you are making it more complicated than it needs to be. You just mute the strings. I mean its always came naturally to me. Playing the guitar properly takes awhile, but muting of all kinds os something which i dont need to think about. Idk, im just trying to help the dude. My advice is just do it, dont think too much about it. Dont like my advice? Then fuck it..

[@the_original_Bilb_Ono]

@@owenmckee4053 also you must have not actually read my comment. I talked about in my 2nd comment how to mute open strings with your right hand (strumming hand) and if you are using a barre chord (most chords) then yes, just relaxing your hand works most of the time.. There is multiple types of muting. In my opinion- ALL is something which should not be over thought about and just feel the music and do it. Its like learning to swim by jumping head first in the deep end. Just do it.

[@Jan-us1fq]

In STP’s live acoustic versions, there’s also the F chord being played right after the Ebmaj7 chord at the end of first verse, right before going back to the beginning of the 2nd verse. Sounds kind of cool, so I like to add it.
