“It breaks down into just bass and drums and vocals and this moody little guitar part”
*every Nirvana song has entered the chat*
Me as a beginner: Oh, this actually looks kinda easy.
5 min later: * Guitar catches fire*
when i first holded my guitar i tried this song and i was so confused, after 2 months i tried it again and daaaamn i killed it! Only practice dude
It's always so funny when the teachers say: "muting the strings - it takes only some time!". As an intermediate guitar player I can say, every technique not only takes time, but hours of struggling, frustration, feeling stupid, feeling like an idiot comparing yourself with others and sometimes even physical pain :D. It requires dedication, energy, consistency and coping with your impatience.. And then, eventually... you learn stuff faster then you thought. :) but the beginning is terrible..:)
It's not "time", learning instrument and music is often hard work, but extremely rewarding and once you learned something, you have it in your blood and it's only fun. Keep practicing, people!
thank you so much, i needed this 🥺 i just started learning how to play the guitar, and wow, it's way harder than I thought omg
I agree. I have been playing guitar for 3-4 years and it pains me that people try to use online tutorials. I consider myself an pretty good guitarist. Although it only took a few minutes for me to learn the basics of the song, guitar is harder than it looks.
literally me rn 😭like IM GETTING so frustrated bc it doesn’t sound like how it goes in the song 🤨‼️
I got an ad saying that yt guitar lessons are terrible lmao.
Don't even pay attention to that, this guy is a really good teacher. Obviously you need somebody to tesch you postures and stuff when you are starting but that's it
You know what i fucking hate about that ad ?
Is that he sells you in and you think he has a great new breaking way of teaching !!
But then he says that guitar teachers on youtube are just bad and he’s the only capable one -_-
Smells Like Teen Spirit: The easiest song to play yet the the hardest tone to achieve.
I think kurt plays 1 extra note on the power chords. Search on yt "7 levels of smells like teen spirit"
It's easy to play, hard to master. Repeating the proper rhythm with the muted strings is harder than it seems. Marty's not even technically playing it properly either, but it's close enough
down up down up chicky chicky - love the way you break things down Marty
I was told this was an easy song to learn
All you need to know is power chords. So it's not technically difficult. But for a beginner to power chords I'd recommend starting with something like iron man by black sabbath
@@ShadowKiller571 It's not hitting the power chords that make it hard it's the string-muting and the strumming pattern
oh by the way i've got it down alright now and it's not that hard anymore i was just saying why it used to be hard for me and assuming thats the issue others are having
The best part about Marty... he shows us even when he fucks up.
It’s like that age old adage that you don’t truly know something until you can teach it and explain it to someone.
Big props for never cutting man. As guitarists, we all kick ourselves when we mess up but for us beginners, it’s huge you leave it in. Might be the best part of your videos honestly.
I love you
I don't even have a guitar yet and I'm learning so much
Skittles_K thats very strange!! To watch guitar videos but not practice it
To anyone struggling with this I feel your pain, muting the strings was impossible at first when I finally started getting the hang of it the B string was always a bit fretted It took some time to figure out but I found the position in which my hand mutes em all so when you're switching the power chords up and down I place my middle finger on the lower E string to mute it it's my way but I find it easier than avoiding the string, so the play mute play rhythm was annoying too but just keep practicing and listen to the song as much as you can especially if you're just about to practice you don't need to listen to the entire thing just the first 15-20 seconds get that rhythm into your head and best of luck enjoy rocking out \m/
i learned this song in 10 mins, lmao, I just started playing guitar 2 weeks ago
I tried to play this, it didn't sound anything like it. *Then I tuned my guitar.*
for my i tubes my guitar, tried to play it and it didn’t sound anything like jt
To anyone having trouble with this: Just keep practicing. I thought it was hard at first but the more you do it the better you get.
phisheswonder i needed that lol. I’m having trouble with the chicky chicky part
I got my guitar about 4 days ago and my parents cant afford guitar lessons so I've been learning on my own, and this channel had helped me learn so much in 4 days and I can't wait to start a guitar career
I hate rapid strumming altogether. Once mutes are added, I contemplate throwing the guitar in the river.
As much of a bullshit piece of advice this sounds like, don't throw the guitar in the river, that makes it extremely difficult to play. Oh, and also practice and all that shit...
And don't smash it at the iHeart Radio Music Festival because you only have one minute left to play
...if that rings a bell
@@connermason7874 I remember when my brother first told me Billie Joe was my cousin, if I get the opportunity to meet him, you bet your ass I'm mentioning it.
you make it look so easy
The riff(not intro) is very easy i've touching for 4 days and i can do it decently
me: i love nirvana
me after this video: i love marty
Marty, the legend. I haven't watched your videos in about five years, but I'm glad to see you're still helping thousands of people learn to play guitar, just like you helped me years ago. Marty is a UA-cam icon for sure.
Marty, you're so freaking awesome! I've learned so many songs from watching your videos. Thank you and keep up the great work!
I really appreciate that Jon! Thanks so much for supporting me right here at my new thing "MartyMusic" all my best!
Thanks man we need the solo!
Truly one of the best songs ever
Thanks so much for watching and supporting me right here at "MartyMusic!" More NEW content on the way! I appreciate it!
More like one of the most played out songs ever. It's not that great of a song 😂
HTGOAT i hit my screen thinking the fly on your profile pic was real.... Also i agree with you 😅
@@345345345rtrt its obviously good if its played out. People wouldnt like it so much if it sucked
My son wanted an electric guitar for Christmas. I've got him something half decent with a distortion pedal etc and just know I'm going to be trying to learn to play it more than he is. Whether he likes it or not 😁
One reason I love these tutorials is because even though he’s probably explained these power chords a thousand times, he still explains everything note by note for every video. Really some of the best tutorials out there.
Nice to see the pros make mistakes sometimes 4:50 makes me feel more human trying to learn it.
yes!! it feels like you're learning together and also reminds you that it can't be perfect right away. really love this channel :)
“Down up down cheeky cheeky”
Best guitar teacher ever. I love how you explain everything so clearly and slow and I love the mood of every lesson. Thank you Marty I really appreciate it putting the time to make these videos.
i’d like to mention marty has like a personality when he teaches and like his own exaggeration and expression it’s honestly amazing your the kind of guitar teacher i’d want to bad i live in canada😂
marty you have so many videos on guitarjams, i basically learnt playing the guitar cause of you!
this channel deserves also a million subs man! thanks for the good stuff
Big ups Marty! Your tutorials are the easiest online tutorials for me to follow. I'm visually impaired so having the Visual representation isn't the most useful, whereas if someone is telling me where to put my fingers audibly (i.e index on the 3rd fret barring, and the ring, middle and pinky in an E shape on the 4th and 5th frets) it's a lot easier.
favorite guitar rift
Guitar centers hate him, learn how to play a rock classic from the amazing Marty
Thank you so much for this, I was doing a horrible version using a capo and I knew Kurt wouldn’t have been happy with that so this video was very helpful
Marty you are probably the best teacher at least in my experience. If it weren't for you I probably would have given up on guitar. I have ADHD and OCD so it's harder to understand stuff but the way that you teach is easy to understand and follow. I am truly grateful.
p.s I would really appreciate it if you could do some videos on some My Chemical Romance songs in particular "I'm not okay (I promise)" and "Headfirst for Halos".
Every song I want to learn, there is Marty Music. He's here. He's there. He's every fucking where. He's Marty Music.
When i first bought my strat i came to learn this riff but it was so difficult and i ended up dropping it but now 2 months later it seems simple. Amazing tutorial
i just love the energy this guy gives every tutorial
Marty makes any song easy, keep up the good work...love the tutorials, I've learned so much following Marty.
I’ve used a lot of your Nirvana videos to learn guitar. Love your teaching style!!
You are the best guitar teacher on UA-cam. I just have to say it. If I wanna learn a song, I come straight to this channel. You arn't dull or boring, learning is fun. Thank you for being you and teaching these awesome songs.
This riff will.never get old
Even in 2020 it feels so new and cool
Smells like teen spirit mother of all rock.riffs
This helps a lot. The tabs I followed overcomplicated this song for some reason
This marks the first time I've heard "chicky-chicky" and I didn't realize how much I needed it.
This is the first song ive played on a fender strtocaster i had laying around for 1 or 2 years and you helped me learn it
You just earned a subscriber
I love this song 🤘
8:02 me trying to talk to my crush
you honestly make it so much more easier to learn guitar thank you man, I also know how to play come as you are bc of you
Just got back to guitar after many years. This is a great way to learn. Thanks all the way from New Zealand Marty
Just never play this at guitar center
teob it’s overplayed af, so people at guitar center hear it all the time
teob the employees get annoyed cuz they hear it atleast 50 times a day
zl_M3T4L_lz -_ well that’s too damn bad I’m gonna stroll up in there, say a terrible joke, end it with “anyway here’s wonderwall”, and play Smells like Teen Spirit
This vid has been up 5 years and I don't see one comment on the perfection of Marty being sure to wear plaid to play this song 😂
marty’s “chicky chicky” saved me i play the song and go down up down *chicky chicky* then go on from there thanks marty you’re really a life saver when it comes to guitar
guitar lessons are much more explained and easier to follow than ukulele ones
Thanks Marty. 3 days in and I got the TNT riff down, smoke on water, and smells like teen spirit all learned and down by memory don’t even gotta look at my guitar. Been playing almost 4-6 hours per day. All because of your videos and practice
Thank you for your patience Marty! I have learned a lot from your teachings!
Video: Muting Other strings on Acoustic Guitar
Me: **Dies**
Anyone else find up strumming insanely hard?
Song is timeless really brings out that primal energy lmao
I gave up 2 minutes into the video 😍
Only one thing: I guess there often are open strings between a power chord and another. For example, to me it's pretty clear between the Bb5 and the Ab5, and then between the Db5 and the F5 Kurt Cobain played 2 open strings to give him more time to reach the following chord. What do you say almighty Marty?
Nice job Marty. I learned this for a student. Another lesson here. He’s just chill’n on a telecaster and a mesa boogie. I’m a tele/boogie guy and they shred just fine. Play the equipment you love.
this is so much fun i leaned it in two days and now i feel like a pro! ❤️🔥
Dude played smells like teen spirit on a telecaster what a god
Anyone else say HEY back to Marty during the intro of every video or is that just me?
nice~
one of my favorite songs. I didn't realize it was this simple.
This has helped me out so much whenever I'm in music class all the experience people play this while I whatch now I can join in
I like ur Chanel Marty I learned a lot from u keep going man
He looked so happy when he shook the guitar
My guitar teacher just quit yesterday and I’m very upset about it because I loved playing guitar and even went ahead and used my uncles high school guitar, fixed it and made it work I also bought a guitar that’s basically a cystic. Sense he quit I’ve been very upset about him quitting like that because I wanted to make him proud and I went and did, I didn’t disappoint. He would put your videos on and recommend a lot of them. Although I’m upset he would’ve wanted me to keep going if that’s what I wanted because he said it himself “if you really wanna make this a thing in your life then do so don’t let anyone stop you for doing what you love” I replied back “I don’t give a f#€k about what others think, it’s what I want”. This comment is getting pretty long so lemme just end it, he wanted me to keep going and I will keep going because he gave me hope, dreams and courage, pride all those things and now I’ll make damn sure that I live on those dreams of mine at least once in my life
Coming from a 7th grader in middle school

P.S. keep doing what your doing Marty, I really look forward to learning from you
Hard to believe this was FOUR YEARS ago! Thanks for all the lessons Marty! :-)
Imagine this guy at a party
How can I stop the buzzing from the strings when I do the opening chords?
Thanks so much for the down-up-down-chiki-chiki-part, exactly what I was looking for, and slow enough too!
So the most complex things on this tune are the strumming and the solo.
This is garage band gold!
I have baby hands I can't play this
Juan Rivas Juan take about a 2inch rubber ball shove it between the fingers squeeze and flex the fingers several times on each finger. this will help you and turn your wrist farther toward the strings I also have small hands but play quite well others say
Lame excuse, there's 10 year old girls who can play guitar just fine with tiny hands
Juan Rivas I have baby hands as well, and it doesn't bother me at all. Sounds like you need to stretch
Yo Marty mind if I "borrow" that guitar
Your videos help me SO MUCH! Keep uploading more!!🙌
This is the most hardest thing I've learned yet
Ur expecting to learn it fast? Dont even dream about it, keep practising you'll get it eventually trust me
I'm new too, best way I learn is to get a bit farther into the video each day. Don't try and learn an entire song in one day lmfao especially as a beginner.
Marty please can you teach three days greace - i hate everything about you
Man people get butthurt about anything heavier than they're used to lmao
I didn't say it was heavy, you're just edgy. Also, who gives a shit if you think it's edgy? The dude just wants to learn a song. I am a fan of the instrumentation of One X anyway.
Dude your awesome your making this easier
I really appreciate the comment! I'm so glad to have you supporting me with my own project "MartyMusic" Arbenz!
No problem Marty hey I was wondering if you could do a blink 182 song like the party song, cynical, or aliens exist those are just one of the many songs that I really want to learn
My go to guy for guitar lessons for songs keep it up bro the world needs ya
you are more than a master sir! it's an honor to study things from you!
Chucka Chucka
Wow this was great! thanks man learned loads, been trying to learn this for a while but couldn't really get there this helped so much!
The first song I play in the Guitar Store. Good old memories
Could you do Radio Friendly Unit Shifter?
After so much practice this seems easy and so satifying I love it
I really love your videos...it is so good and easy to learn with you... Thank you so much Marty
i’ve been trying to play this for the past few days cant even do the first part. my fingers are in the right spot my guitar is tuned and the sound just isn’t right. it’s very stressful
lucky i got electric guitar :D
Muting other strings.. my worst enemy
Steven Haskell I either don’t press hard enough or I push down too hard so they ring out anyway aha
Same
Its easy
@@harryjakosa2141 5
Hours a day? sure
lol I always thought you just have to be precious and hit the strings you need. When I found out there is something like muting I was like - izy !
