I've spent the last couple of years memorizing shapes, and that's all well and good, but once you understand the connections and how it all fits together, a whole new world opens up.
That's my problem. I know all the shapes or a lot of them. But I can't figure out how to connect everything together.
how do you even connect everything? is there a tutorial for that?
still waiting for opening of the new world !😃
I’ve played for 60 years. And just now starting to get into theory
And it’s very exciting 😊
@@chemice3210practice. Become fluent. Slides pull offs etc. that I’ve done for years are starting to make more sense
The chuckle at 12:12. He knew he was going off and had to quit.😂😂😂
Marty, you taught me crazy train when I was 9.
Now I’m 29 and picking up the guitar again for the first time in two years and you’re teaching me the major scale 🫡 thank you friend
Awesome . Been playing for 25 years but now I’m trying to learn theory. Super helpful!
Been playing casually since I was 14 in 2009, pretty much learned everything in the beginning from Marty. I’ve pretty much just learned songs since then and never really tried to learn how to play properly. Who would think 15 years later, I’d still be learning from Marty. Thanks for everything man.
Thank you Marty. More musical gold. I appreciate your explanation of what you are teaching. Explaining exactly where the notes are to be played. And doing it slowly. Because if you can’t play it slow you can’t play it fast ! Thanks for your time you put into your lessons. Truly appreciate it !!!
Good Work Marty. I've been watching you for years and I'm thankful that you are teaching them to study the fundamentals. - Keep Up The Magnificent work. -
Brilliant, the first time I tried to understand this it was too early on my guitar journey, now it makes perfect sense 💙
Excellent Marty, simple and straight forward. Thanks,.
Very well done Marty. Thanks man!
i've actually been using rocksmith 2014 for nearly a year now and i found it to work amazing to teach the basics of guitar playing. the game has a bunch of buildt in lessons and virtual amps. and you can play your favorite songs on repeat. plus the interface makes it really easy to get a grasp on the guitar. but then again a game is not a substitute for a real in person teacher, rocksmith get's you pretty far.
Marty the magic man showing us how to master the major scale
Must be who Heart's song was talking about. Magic man Marty.
I love the quick tangent into 2001's ending notes
It never gets old!
That is a gorgeous Epiphone. I have that model also in cherry red color.
Wonderful resource for learning thank you so much
Hey Marty, thank you for the Essential Guide to Mastering the Major Scale on Guitar. Greatly appreciated!!
Thank you🎉
Mahalo Marty, once again one sweet lesson!
Very nice Marty 🎸🎸🎸🤗❣
this guy is so awesome
Thanks Marty.
“Honey! You have to get away from that computer and go to work!”
-You just don’t get it do you? Marty is my only chance to get out of this miserable, mundane, life, sucking career I am stuck in!
🤘🤘
❤😊 I need to make myself do more intervals. I strangely do this one all the time, but am not as accustomed to just doing pentatonics. I meant to continue on with bigger interval skips and alternating backwards and forwards through next bigger and next bigger, but somehow zone into trance doing the do mi re fa mi so fa la so ti la do ti re do. Do la ti so la fa so me fa re mi do re ti do. I just don't usually do anything else before wanting to just play, instead of the next leveling up practicing. ❤
Great job Marty like always, would you have time to work on Santana's Do you remember me, I will love to play it and you are the right person to figure that out, please, keep on rocking.
*Excellent lesson Marty!*
I was wondering if there was a simple way of finding the first note ( root ) for evey scale on guitar.
Can you please show this fod minor scales too.
And which are the best scales for jazz - ( for use in Steve Howe & Yes type music? )
*( Thank you in advance for any help in this! )*
*It feels silly asking - like I should know about these things!*
The most amazing thing about this is... When i was 15 and my guitar teacher taught me this same thing, i hated it cause this tone is the same as my teacher taught it to me and i wanted tons of distortion and echo. Now tho, it sounds so good because ive broughened my love of different styles. My guitar dont have to be on 10 and my amp dont have to be on 11! Thanks for showing me this again. Rock on!! 🤘
I CAN SING BUT I NEEDED THIS MARTY THANKS.
Great video! Can you make a short explaining what “Playing over a chord” means? I just don’t understand!
I think he is referring to playing with a band, if the rhythmn guitar is playing a C chord, the C scale notes will fit.
Marty.... did I hear you sneak in a little Phish in the intro there... that definitely sounded like First Tube!
I have heard people talk about position one and position two shapes.
*Are they referring to scale shapes on the fretboard?*
*Do you have any lessons on 'positions' / shapes?*
Hey marty could you do no bones by dinosaur jr? I love your videos so much man youre an inspiration
Aye Marty have you done a One of These Nights tutorial by the Eagles? if not, I would love that!
NO EAGLES
Please do just visiting by wookiefoot
How does one go about requesting a song tutorial? I’m dESPERATE to play Snowblind by Suede but I can’t find any decent tutorials 😭🙏🏻
It’s fascinating to me that the “open position” scale learned in a Mel Bay Method Book[from back in the day, c’mon fellow baby boomer guitarists]
⑥ E F G ⑤ A B C ④ D E F ③ G A ② B C D ① E F G
when transposed up an octave to the 12th fret contains the repeated Am pentatonic lick from the “Stairway” solo! Additionally, the “3rd lead guitar fill” double pull-off lick from Led Zeppelin “Moby Dick” is played in the same “open position” scale
① G F E ② D C B ③ B A G ④ F E D ① G F E ② D C B ③ B A G ④ F E D ⑤ C B A ⑥ D(drop D tuning)
Dude I’m so confused. The c major scale you play in this video is different than in another video of yours where you play the same notes as the a minor scale. So is the C major scale the do re me one or is it where you start with your pinky on the 6th string root note and play the a minor basically??
The major scale is do re mi, the C major scale is C D E F G A B, which is also do re mi but in C
do re mi fa sol la si is the European version of c d e f g a b. c major and do major are the same thing 👍
What an amazing video 😮❤ i overstand now marty....thanks 🫡
Alr now where's our freak on a leash tutorial
Maybe I should go back to tasting lead based paint
