Family is putting me in Guitar Rehab, I vow I will escape. Combining Minor Pent. & Dorian would be nice. Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 even nicer. Thanks Marty.

A good friend of mine was an amateur guitarist recently died in a motorcycle accident last video that he recorded himself playing the song I'm going to learn this song as the first song I've ever learned on the guitar in memory my friend Tommy

[@spalding.v1]

rest in peace Tommy

[@chamberlainallman3242]

Rip both toms

[@GROCK619]

Rip..buddy !!!

[@pj-1888]

Wow that's crazy I read pretty much the same comment last night on another vid of martys .an I had rough motorcycle crash in October 21 still recovering from it . Hope u learnt the song he would be so proud 👏

[@musheopeaus4125]

Did you learn it ?

[@Echo5_Delta76]

I've been trying to learn guitar my whole adult life. Two days ago, I played and sang this song. First complete song I ever played, plus the first time I ever sang along. I could barely play, let alone sing, but I went for it and what an experience! Nothing compares to that feeling. Amazing, and playing since that happened feels like less effort. I've had a few different guitars and played off and on since I was 18, I'm 47 now. idk.. something just clicked. I watched countless hrs of KZbin guitar lessons. I feel like I've seen them all, but I've watched Marty's videos over and over. Thank you, Marty, for all your help, hard work, and dedication to teach guitar and making these videos. ROCK ON!

[@justawfulgamer7738]

Way to go!

[@tonyvalle794]

Some of the most powerful songs are easy to play. Music doesn't have to be complicated to play. Long live Music.

[@jamle2805]

You are THE BEST gutair teacher on this platform I have ever seen

[@josephkellett476]

Thanks for showing the strumming pattern graphic on the screen. It helps alot because usually have difficulty picking the pattern up.

[@nugboss3475]

Tom finally got his wings. Thanks for the lessons, Marty.

[@JustinHaglerMusic]

Awesome video Marty! Love that Petty music!!! It's not always what someone plays, but how they play it. Classy, easy, & fun song.

[@danielfrench643]

Wonderful, thank you for this. Always loved Tom Petty and heard this song on my way to work yesterday and thought "that sounds doable". Awesome, another easy song I can play along to in the bag.

[@emeraldshine9273]

well, i now have another song i can play on my 12-string. Thanks, Marty! i'd love to see more 12-string songs like Mama Im Coming Home from you

[@Satch-hl1wb]

Hi Marty. The hardest thing for novice players is to know where to break the bar with the chord change. Would be awesome if you could show that.

[@almfoto]

MARTY!!!! Dude I've been locked in my garage just practicing practicing practicing. Seems like I'm just focused and getting everything out clean, I'm a perfectionist!!!! Nice and simple brother, THANK YOU!!!!

[@yaboiwill932]

Absolutely loved Tom Petty he was a true legend !

[@amandamammana]

Awesome video Marty!! Keep it up my dude!!

[@wowdogeful]

With that fancy beard you are now the Bob Ross of guitar

[@ArmaGuyz]

lol you are even named dat boi hahaha frog name and all haha

[@timothymelton7946]

Yes because the most outstanding feature on bob ross is his beard

[@Steve-dk7ec]

Now if Marty starts teaching with a popsicle stick.........then maybe

[@lizevans1468]

LOVE your videos. Thank you so much. My son (8, almost 9) and I are learning the guitar together and we love your site. He is just a natural. I play a few other instruments and decided to learn the guitar in March when everything shut down. Your teaching style is so simple and easy to follow no matter your music background.

[@sonnyconwill6599]

Best guitar lessons out there. Everything is broken down so well. Thanks for all your help

[@leog4856]

Awesome Marty still doing great lessons man I learned how to play guitar watching your videos 11 years ago!! Thank you so much for the great content you rock!

[@hb2289]

Tricky but easy chord change on the F to C. Is one I never attempted. Great song and lesson. Thanks!

[@George1mac]

Marty......sooo glad to find your new venue....I signed up for your MartyMusic and really hope to be able to stay with things going forward. I am probably like a lot who wished they had started earlier, but it is what it is at my retirement age. Your way of explaining is great. All I can say about the lessons on Marty Music and what I hope to accomplish is I hope you cater to us older guys a bit...just a bit.... and do some of the acoustic stuff from our era which is the 60's, 70's and basically 80's. I like some of the later on music, but not as much. I have had fun with the free lessons you sent for signing up thus far with the acoustic tricks etc....an old dog but trying to learn.....many thanks!!!......George

[@fastted8618]

You're a great instructor !! Even for ME. I've been "in the game" for a long time and I know the difference. Thanks for the QUICK lesson.

[@atulramchurn3065]

simply beautiful

[@kyotocoversjimanderson782]

Great lesson, thanks! Wanted to learn this especially with the sad passing of Tom.

[@lisalombard2601]

Love the video Marty, thank you. I'm playing it on my new 6 string electric Mitchell MD400 thru a Roland Cube 30 on JC Clean. Playing both pickups in hummer position it's about as acoustic as I can make it sound, not too bad for a newbie, I think. I really appreciate the lesson and how you teach it, my new music teacher!!

[@TheCharcoalchicken]

Hey Marty, just gotta say a big thankyou for being the best teacher on youtube, just picked up guitar not long ago, just gotta say you are easily the best teacher on here, thankyou for being you and inspiring myself and many others, all the best.

[@Elixe]

Thank you Marty.

[@merrivale.1229]

Beautiful 12 string! The sound is amazing😍

[@stephencaufield5250]

that guitar looks so cool and it plays nice !

[@geoker55]

My leading theory on my Tom Petty songs are so awesomely easy to play: Hard to remember complex chord changes when you are stoned to the gills on stage. Bonus.... any Tom Petty song makes an awesome campfire song as everyone knows them

[@steventempleton3878]

Please do a lesson on Tom Petty's "A Woman in Love", the lead riffs in particular. There are no lessons online. The rhythm part is pretty straight forward, but the lead parts which embellish the song are its strong point, and it would be really cool to be able to learn those. And, thanks again for all the great, great video you create.

[@lnb1024]

I like your easy Teaching Style! Easy to follow Marty. Thanks!

[@rooster6910]

Marty! You are so amazing! I never thought I'd get past the beggining of guitar until I met you! You have helped so much! Thankyou!

[@gerryorangefan6150]

Great lesson again Marty Music

[@jonathantrinque7054]

Thanks for the video! Rest in peace to a true artist.

[@USMC0332]

Another cool guitar! Thanks Marty!

[@moneyforfelix321]

Thank you so much for added the strum pattern on the screen

[@joshuatracy2769]

Hey Marty. Just want to thank for being an inspiration to me to attempt to learn how to play guitar. Your tutorials really helped me to learn my favourite songs which then allowed me to gain the confidence to sing in front of people. Many thanks from Ireland.

[@ianantonius7287]

I"ll have my second guitar class on Tuesday. At first I wanted to shoot at playing Hurt by Johnny Cash but it seems it is just so sad that it would keep me depressed. Glad I found these videos here man.

[@thequietcailinstudios7934]

Thanks for everything Marty, great teacher

[@JarikeGames]

wow that guitar looks awesome

[@richiepawlowski6848]

Tom Petty should have written these lyrics. It started in F.....then it switched to C....move 1 finger to Am....head over to G...

[@davidfriesen7748]

Nice Marty ! that really hit home, at my stage, I'll watch that another 40 times. THKs

[@peterlul2692]

Damn, this guitar sounds awesome!

[@alk5259]

Marty you ROCK!!! Hey I just wanted to say that I bought your beginner CD set and have been practicing daily. Your CD helped me build my skills. When I started, I was thinking I would be forever before I could play bar chords, now they are my favorite. Always looking for ways to switch out the basic open chords for the tougher bar chords. I still return to my home base which is the CDs that I bought from you. Just wanted you to know, you are really a great teacher. Keep it up... and really enjoy Tom Petty, keep it rockin! - Take care. Since I'm here, can I make a request? Can you do Five For Fighting, 100 years? Can't find anything out there. My wife and I love this song. Would really like to learn on the guitar.

[@tucko11]

[@ztarz99]

Thank you for all you do Marty.

[@waynepalmar6101]

thanks for the lesson Marty nice guitar btw cheers

[@prestonemage9586]

Thanks a lot Marty. I had it on my mind to learn this song. Thanks for making it easy to learn. Also, little mistake in your instruction about index finger placement on the F-chord, you mentioned index finger twice! (around 1:12) lol, I got it anyways, but someone else may struggle, maybe annotate it? THANKS MARTY! (Doc Brown voice, Back to the Future movies)

[@bradsvidsetc]

Love ya channel mate. 😊 From Tasmania in Oz

[@andrechoupina9154]

Such a majestic beard. ❤

[@stepjuan5515]

Andre Choupina yeah it is

[@David-to9vu]

that 12 string looks great

[@westonwright6188]

Hi Marty, love your lessons and like many I wished i had picked up a guitar years ago. Anyway at 54 years young I have now been playing for over 10 years and your postings have helped me so much.I now have 7 guitars and require more!!! Keep up the great work. Any chance of some UK glam rock classics by the likes of Slade or Sweet? Thank you.

[@rachellyonfritz]

Thank you so much! So helpful!🎸

[@davebaker1534]

Top stuff Marty, I'll get through your squillion songs before I throw any at ya. Love the new channel dude, rock on

[@chriswilliams2270]

you're amazing man awesome tune and you did a great job

[@ctreed-x]

❤ I don’t get when you change cords in between the down up down up up down up when do you change chords exactly thank you for responding. I love watching you on KZbin.

[@darrylpugh7532]

thank you so much !

[@billsgarage1964]

Awesome lesson Marty ! Can you do a Ray LaMontagne , Like Rock Roll And Radio .

[@rethomps1]

I have that same geeter dude! Nice choice!

[@scottdew4200]

Thanks Marty. I'm just learning to play and you are my teacher!

[@JBoysbarbershop]

Is there a pull off in there Marty? Sounds like Tom added one in there. New and green in my playing. Thank you.

[@Delzona]

The hardest thing I find as a new guitarist is picking up the rhythm! I know Marty explains it and even show how DU DU UDU goes but I’ll be darned if I can get it! I sound so mechanical 😢

[@james3040]

Down up down up up down up 😂😂😂 love ya marty!! Peace from ireland

[@strumalong3224]

You make learning the song easy!

[@jerrybanks6601]

Very nice Marty. Thanks. One thing I noticed in a Petty video is that he seems to be putting his left pinkie on the 3rd fret of high E for about every chord. Have you seen that?

[@WORRO]

Awesome!

[@edhaney3523]

You may be confusing some folks on your "F" chord. It is really an F major 7 chord since you are leaving the high E string open.

[@raspberryberet4544]

Thanks man

[@EgoEimai]

another great lesson!!!

[@puite68]

marty is marty because he is marty. happy 420....

[@luciancondon]

F down up down c up up down up A down up down g up up down up Repeat

[@brandondurocher9027]

Thank you brother

[@hollispencheff4073]

love MARTY

[@Whomeverwhenever]

I've finally mastered* playing a complete song at 44!

[@southernlongleafoutdoors6304]

Great song Marty, and any Jim Croce song would be great as I'm a huge fan of his.

[@buskinginstratford]

Your awesome😇

[@arlencuen7768]

Really liked this. Guitar is beautiful. :D

[@triggon6022]

let me name a few legends, Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, ac dc and Marty Swartz

[@achishermadini8981]

The best lesson! As always ^^

[@fenderman3044]

ur good, keep going dude,best of luck.

[@randalmcintyre7750]

Awesome lesson thanks Marty!! What do you think about doing a lesson on "White Lightning" by Bill Wyman?? I can't seem to find tabs or a video anywhere for it.

[@cianiacovou6905]

Thanks for yet another great lesson. I love learning to play guitar with you. Can you make some fall out boy or more green day lessons, because I (and I'm sure many others) would really like to learn more pop punk songs. That would be great! Btw I'm loving the beard

[@ronberman3964]

Tom does not use up and down strokes, only down strokes which is more difficult but more even. He also hits the C note after striking the G chord if you listen closely.

[@jackmakmorn]

Marty, it's cool to stumble upon another tutorial from you after a decision to go for a new song after years only playing my own stuff :)))

[@wortman79]

Marty! Good lesson, love your TP lessons. But I have a request. Could you please do a lesson featuring that riff that Brett Papa started off the live session you guys did a few days ago? Really liked that riff and would appreciate a few leads you would recommend to play overtop with a looper. Searched for a video high and low for that live session but can't find it other than on FB. Thanks!

[@dsull1100]

What model Taylor is that. I need one. Great lesson as always. Not too little and not too much.

[@ryanthrall40]

Please make any videos of Chris Stapleton and/or Eric church! Possibly 'guys like me' by Church and 'might as well get stoned' by Stapleton. Thanks!

[@daniellopes8286]

please do collective soul-shine.there are no good videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!!!! Nice Marty ! that really hit home, at my stage, I'll watch that another 40 times. THKs

[@evanbradford5585]

Marty👍👍 keeping me alive - please man. I love this song can’t find any recording of it. I neeeed you to teach me!
