    Hey Marty. I’ve been following you for 14 years and I really appreciate how you simplify and break everything down so clearly. I remember talking to you on the phone back in, I think, 2012 and you gave me so much inspiration. This video is great, because I fell off guitar when my pops died. I would lay this very same 12 bars down for him and he’s riff over it while smoking his Camels. I just want to tell you that I’m back playing and you’re the first person I searched for to get started again. I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate your knowledge of playing guitar has inspired me over the years. Thank you, brother.

    Thank you so very much Marty! I'm 52 and learning guitar again after dropping it for 23 years. Not new to the 12 bar blues but you really helped me to add all the stuff I always wanted but was stuck in a rut. I never had all these you tube videos to learn from when I started to learn guitar and I am in guitar heaven now with your videos especially. You cheer me up, you make me laugh and you help me with all those things about the BLUES I wanted but was frustrated with before we had you tube videos. You and Steve Stiner are my GUITAR GODS of you tube Guitar Teachers.

  • @alvaroviloria2098

    Marty, I discovered your channel when starting to learn guitar 3 years ago, I'm almost 40 now, and I always wanted to play guitar. I remember the first time I saw the 12 bar blues video. I spent days playing and playing and counting and counting, must of it struggling and trying to do it correctly, especially with the turnaround. I appreciate your effort and patience in putting all this together, and as well the online lessons. I've concluded some of those lessons. Those helped me understand the blues and guitar concepts deeper. And well, now I'm found myself doing for fun 12 bar blues, mixing cools stuff, creating loops, and having fun with some improvs. So Marty, Thanks a lot! Your lessons helped me achieve one of my dreams, and every day I check your new videos to see with which I'll deep dive. If possible, could you do a techinque lesson to understand the concepts behind Joe Bonamassa licks and blues rhythm guitar? Thanks

  • @RingsOfSolace
    @RingsOfSolace Рік тому

    Two things.
    One: lots or aha moments here for me. The boogie riff just being an implied chord blew my effing mind.
    Two: recording 100 videos before even starting the channel was both risky and ingenious for taking advantage of the algorithm. Much respect for you, and I'm so glad that it worked out for you.
