[@arvindkaraimangat4585]

Can you do Castle Of Glass by Linkin Park? :)

[@alexpark2359]

Would love a tutorial on Strangers by Roosevelt?

[@oceanman6973]

Martyyy, you just HAVE to share how you got the clean tone for the intro

[@steveprudell9976]

Finally, i can say it aint so

[@the_original_Bilb_Ono]

Say it then. say "it ain't so". But also, shouldn't you so it IS so? You know?

Finally I can, say it ain't so

[@AGuitarNinja]

This song was on the radio 14 years ago when I was driving to the hospital during the birth of my first and only son we ended up in the hospital for days and this song stayed stuck in my head for days and days ,14 years later and this song will forever remind me of that experience just got him a new Schecter frs sls elite for his birthday thank you for the timing on the lesson I think this is exactly what we needed!

[@the_original_Bilb_Ono]

I already learned this but at that time I was thinking "dang, I wish Marty had a video on this song". Marty is always the first place I go for to learn a popular song. It's really only the indie folk and bluegrass that I go to someone else to learn, or look up the tabs. Metal isn't one of his strong suits either but the popular metal Marty has covered and he's been getting more covered with the help of Jamie Slays

[@krystianszymanski4200]

he actually made a video about say it ain't so, but on his older channel

[@Esteban-lf7bm]

@@krystianszymanski4200 yeah that’s how I learned it

[@mcwizard3890]

I’m confused should I tune down half a step i didn’t hear it in the video?

[@Esteban-lf7bm]

I don’t know if you were replying to me but I just left it on standard tuning

[@the_original_Bilb_Ono]

@@mcwizard3890 sorry im so late but this is tuned down a half step. So on your tuner it will be D#, G#, C#, F#, A#, D#. But of course you can play this in E standard, it just wont match the original recording or Marty's video.

[@newbyteacher74]

Thanks

[@RC32Smiths01]

Weezer really had some great and memorable riffs. Cheers Marty!

[@paulerxx]

Sweater Song still hits, and it's so easy to play. The solo section is also great for beginners because the modulation that is at play.

[@denemathis5879]

Rivers is a genius and very very underrated guitar player...when a man is a millionaire and takes time off from touring to go to Harvard and pass with a 4.0 then went back to playing guitar cause he missed it...if you every watch Weezer live videos and Rivers don't have a guitar in his hands he looks lost...Thanks Marty even thou I already knew how to play the song but not the one note melody...Thanks alot..

[@handymadness]

💯. I saw him when he did a solo show at fingerprints in Long Beach in the oughts. Dudes a legit musical genius.

[@humbuckerUSA]

he was a shredder here in ct in the 80s.

[@vipersb1]

Lifting the pinky on the first upstroke is what I was missing. That little detail makes such a big difference. Thank you, Marty!

[@totalannihilation9065]

I come from learning really fast-paced songs. It's good to come and try something more relaxed and amazing sounding.

[@bksmith82]

Man this really hit the spot! Thanks Marty. SAY IT AIN'T SOoowoOO

[@MartyMusic]

Rock on!

[@AndrooD2]

I was in a band that covered this. The first time that we played it live I went to kick on my boost for the solo and accidentally tapped my volume pedal... First note, no signal. I was done the solo when I figured out what I did and finally had my signal back.

[@adamblesener2916]

I know weezer tends to get a lot of hate and made fun of but this has been one of my favorite songs for years now. Thanks for covering it!

[@danbosch-]

That's a sweet @ss song from one of the best albums of all time. Thanks Marty you made my morning.

[@judetait6858]

I remember when I was a beginner guitarist. I tried learning this song, but it was too hard for me and I said maybe I’ll get it when I’m better. But now I revisited it and I was able to learn it just looking at you playing it in the intro. Thanks Marty

[@xprinceyyy]

When the overdrive hits I get goosebumps! Keep being amazing Marty!

[@myrandaroach1679]

i usually hate ads in a tutorial but my man marty is speaking truth about sweetwater.

[@danielgarzaromusic]

Marty saving my butt with his tutorials since 2012.

[@jamesjohnson624]

Been watching you since I started years ago anyone that “taught themselves” knows Marty much love

[@sillylittleguy43_]

I wish Marty spent a little more time on some parts. For beginner guitarists the pace is a little fast at times. The first phrase I got nicely but that “Hendrix” bar on the 9th was rushed past and I have no idea what I’m doing. 😂

[@jakeallen9806]

This was one of the first songs I ever learned when I got a guitar on Marty’s old tutorial channel, can’t wait to learn it again!

[@bharathlal4958]

Damn, what a beautiful looking strat. Love the tone too almost sounded like the original.

[@vzolu]

that tone sounds so damn good

[@lilman2555]

Bro, every time I wanna learn something I usually go on google but if I can’t find the chords, Marty’s my guy .

[@jillhuhn1129]

This is really the only Weezer song that I know and it's so much fun to sing on my karaoke app but I've never played it thanks for the lesson! :)

[@MartyMusic]

No problem!

[@daltonryan9846]

I really love the fact that marty is slowly doing tutorials on every song in my main playlist. Keep it up. Ive learnt a lot from you.

[@pyrolitemusic]

Love this song so much. Best Weezer imo. Tried learning it years ago but quit, thinking it was too difficult. Coming back to it years later and now making progress. I got this. Never give up Kings! And thanks Marty for all you do.

[@sofiacupini2316]

I looked at the tabs and I was like " this is impossible 😭" but you explain it so well, in a few tries I could do it

[@vitamintrash]

I learned your first lesson of this song years ago, looks like it’s time to refresh my memory!

[@oknice5153]

Was just thinking of playing this song on the guitar 10 minutes ago Marty must be psychic

[@CTrevor123]

At 10:30 you’re showing the guitar solo. I went back to listen to the song and it’s actually G-16th G-18th B-17th E-16th then B-19th hammer on B-21st pull off back to B-19th pull off to B-17th then slide to B-16th

[@juggboypolo]

It can be played many ways brutha

[@CTrevor123]

@@juggboypolo for sure. I’m just showing the way it is really played. My bad.

[@JohnLangleyAkaDigeratus]

So Sweet love that song! And the way you kicked the fuzz in, perfect and so fun to play. Thanks!

[@MartyMusic]

Glad you like it!

[@skyswimmer5634]

I was just looking for this, saw a vid of yours On a different channel from a few years ago, couldn’t believe it when I scrolled down a bit more

[@Jack-bh5ro]

Literally just thinking about learning this then Marty uploads this 👌 Thanks Marty Just started guitar and your videos give me inspiration . Your the man Mary!

[@MartyMusic]

Happy to help!

[@iLikeMyOwnPosts]

Wow, just got my first electric after 3 years practicing on acoustic. Just realizing marty has a katana, and now I feel better than ever that I made the right purchase.

[@MartyMusic]

That's awesome!

[@clintmckellar]

Every time I watch one of your videos… I’m just waiting for the barre chord. Thanks, I’ll try the next video… and be back in a few months 😂

[@brianhadley5084]

Dude, you have the best tutorials. Big thanks from Kentucky.

[@musicaddict_123]

finally I can weeze ppl thank you sir

[@stagbeetle195]

Playin this w/ my new band @ a gig next Sat. Ahh sweet nostalgia. Thanks again dude!

[@RahetiyohsthaSkye]

How'd it go?

[@Bardeviousisbest]

As soon I learn this my dad said "Hey son I bet you cant play a Weezer song" Then, I say "it ain't so"

[@thecappy]

Needed a Jaguar,front pickup and strangle switch on for the beginning to get that hollow sound.

[@pinobluevogel6458]

Pretty great explanation. I jammed along on my accoustic, had some trouble with the higher solo, but I'm sure i can get it down on an electric guitar. Thanks alot for showing us the song, I like it a lot and it is much easier than I expected.

[@someaussieguy666]

Oh I am just midway learning this one, amazing timing as always

[@aodhanpavlovcic7970]

Thank you for this tutorial. I have been trying for weeks to learn how to play this!

For some reason this is the first time that I’ve ever tuned my Firebird to Eb, and mother of god! It sounds like a giant strat with 4 testes 😂

Such a good song I used to love Weezer 🎸🤘

[@Patrickwilisonweezer]

i like in every start of a tut he flexes how he can play the song

[@MrDogfish83]

Not much of a flex to play the song you’re about to teach lol

[@Patrickwilisonweezer]

@@MrDogfish83 ik its js funny tho

[@Phaymiz]

You are my favorite guitar teacher online at the moment, you just have a very calm, and subtle way of presenting the lesson, however, in order to look like a real guitar player it's starting to seem like I need to start wearing fedoras, I'm just not sure I'll pull them off like you. Thank you for everything I'm going to be going to your website today to start premium lessons. But I'm still debating on the fedoras.

[@MartyMusic]

um ok

[@Phaymiz]

@@MartyMusic sorry that was me trying to be funny, this is why I'm trying to be more of a musician, because I clearly don't have any future as a comedian. Thank you for helping me love the guitar again.

[@Phaymiz]

@@MartyMusic thank you for everything.
