    Hi, I've only got 4 mins in and feel that I'm going to be able to learn this song thanks to your video, I've never picked up a guitar in my life and just got one to learn this song during the crazy times were having, this song is especially important to me, this was the song for our weddings first dance, and I want to learn it to play for my wife who has struggled with bpd, childhood anxiety attacks and depression most her life and hasn't left the home in over 2 years and just as we started making progress and getting her out the world went to shit and we are back at the beginning so I want to do something to keep a smile on her face, so I'd just like to say thank you for making this video, seriously thank you 👍

    Thank you for putting this up. It was really cool because this is my fiance's favorite song and I was going to learn it for her and play it at our wedding.

    cool!! nice, marty, to share this stuff for free! haven't played for years and when I went to youtube some days ago for finding something nice this was the first good one I stayed with.... thank you! For those who got problems with that "mute style" (like when using e-guitar..) -> just pause (so don't strike the strings) on the 2nd and 5ht cadence on each 8/4 cycle... I hope you may understand...I am definitely no pro..lol... marty, thanks again!!! I love akoustic guitar play!!!

  • @JustMelv
    @JustMelv 13 років тому

    @ brozzahcheese Although I've got a capo, you do not necessarily need one if you understand would it does. By barring the strings, the capo raises the key half a tone with every position upwards. Marty plays Gmajor, Dmajor, Eminor and Cmajor, while putting the capo just before the 5th fret. It means that the capo transposes Gmajor>Cmajor, Dmajor>Gmajor, Eminor>Aminor and Cmajor>Emajor. Recapitulated you could also play C, G, Am and E without capo as long as you play them in the same octave.

    I have been playing a long time and Marty has the best stuff out there dont get caught up in the theory if at all to later on. Marty keeps it simple and builds confidence when y learn. Once u learn one song , it will keep u going , another easy song it "all right " by joe cocker, it is a, then d , capo on 3rd fret to keep u going

  • @SpartanSam
    @SpartanSam 14 років тому

    @dme62003 I was exactly the same. I remember I couldn't get the D chord right for ages and I felt as if I had hit some sort of wall. The trick is to keep playing over and over again. Don't worry about playing it too slowly or slowing down when you reach the chord. Watch the fret board while you're playing, and eventually you'll end up playing with your eyes shut without even noticing, just feeling the music...
