MARTY! I've wanted to play the guitar my whole life but I was to busy being a grown up with to many responsibilities. I'm 71 now, and I'm glad I found you! I'm hooked, and I refuse to grow up any more. Looking forward to your lessons!!! Thank you, Rick
Marty I am learning a lot from your guitar lessons, thank you very much..I am having a hard time getting the f chord to sound clean,any advice you can give
Congrats! I'm 32 and just picking it up. Actually I started last year but gave up. Now i'm actually going to follow Marty's lessons and get this down! I'm on this video and I'll stay here until I can play these 3 with no problems at all. Then on to lesson 4.
My name is Gabriel and I’m 13 I have been trying to play this guitar that I have sitting in my room thank you for teaching us this
Me too Streetrodder...same age as you, and same reasons for picking it up....Keep it up, I surely will try!!!
Nice! I'm 10 and I started over a month ago, when I was 8 I was too hard so I quitted. Now I love he guitar and I never give up. This is now one of my hobbies!
Marty : 5 minutes a day is enough
Me : Binge watches all beginners acoustic lessons in a day
Can relate too much
🤣🤣
you just described me :)
my goal is learning guitar in one day ahahah...jk :)
Lara VA 😀😂
I'm doing that today as I just got my new guitar, but my fingers refuse. They kinda hurt ngl
I love how he points middle fingers at us in his lessons, it's really motivating.

After 7 years, in 2024 you still help this generation with guitar lessons, thank you marty

Heyy
Meeeee! I wanted to learn many years ago and heger really pursue it got really busy and now I raa was lot wanna know !
Hands down the best tutor on the internet. Friendly and polite, slow and methodical. Explains perfectly. A little bit of humour and humility.
Really epic work. Thanks so much!
Absolutely
You are so correct!
Everybody: you cant teach people how to play guitar on UA-cam
Marty: hold my beer
Lol so true
Hahahahahahaha
For real. I am loving the way he teaches!
the ad before the video is literally "YOU CANT LEARN GUITAR OFF UA-cam GET THIS COURSE"
Marty: Bet
You spelled can’t wrong 😑
Marty I didn't think I would EVER make it this far in playing guitar, and honestly I owe it all to you, even if I only know three chords, that's three chords I wouldn't have ever learned with you! Thank you so much Marty I love you
Rock on!
This guy is an absolute dude

Day 3 of learning guitar.
My fingers have become comfortably numb.
Ivan Ivanov same here it’s brutal
If you're learning on an acoustic guitar, change your strings to Silk and Steel strings, light gauge...
How long does it take for the fingers to get used to the feeling?
humilem vicit I looked online bc it’s my third day and it’s absolutely brutal and it said 2-4 weeks depending on the person
@@peridavis7709 hey, I'm on my fifth day. the pain is excruciating but I started to get used to it; especially while playing A major which I find the most brutal.
I am honestly waiting for the calluses to form just to feel no more pain.
Keep it going Peri !
I'm a disabled 60 year old vet bro. This is saving my life bro. Thank you so much for your lessons From my heart to God.
You hang in there brother

Literally same, I’m in pain🤣
We lost my very cool and loved nephew David this year. I decided to pick up his guitar and push me now at 54 to honor him by learning how to play it, instead of leaving it sit there idle. He loved music and I hope he is happy that I am doing this on his honor. Marty, I love your approach, thank you for making it friendly and give hope that it can be done. I am watching school of rock. Since I am a teacher, who knows I might start my own 4th grader band . Lol.
Marty! I want to thank you! My father was a lover of guitars. He played his whole life. He just passed away 3 weeks ago. I inherited all of his lovely guitars. I have decided to learn how to play in his honor & the second I picked one up was instantly connected. Your lessons are amazing! I'm making music! I feel my Father's presence around me, it's so therapeutic. Thank you for helping me heal....

"5 minutes a day".. ends up practicing 4 hours a day.
are you good now

Day 1. I think I have carpal tunnel on my left wrist after 30 mins of G
With this whole quarantine... decided to finally dust off my guitar that I’ve had since I was 15 and finally learn. Practicing the 4 chords.. I’ll be back for video 4 🤗 thank you!!
same here :)
Same here
Same but I got it when I was about 10
I just started but same here, as in learning again
Saaaammeee
I'm really bad still at this point, but I'm starting to have fun just switching between chords. Thank you for such a great tutorial!
How you doing now?
What about now
How you doing now?
Been about 10 months. I have been on and off, sometimes not playing for a month and sometimes playing multiple times a day. I can all the basic chords really well and can switch between them fast enough to play a lot of cool songs. Still working on barre chords... Keep at it, and don't rush it! It gets easier!
how are you now?@@bluephire
I'm so glad you teach the actual chords in these videos and not just "heres a song you should learn to practice" by teaching the chords first my brain doesnt just memorize one songs patter. Thank you!
Hey, man, ever since being stuck in quarantine I've picked up guitar and looked through many websites, apps, and videos teaching guitar to beginners. Dude, you are by-far the best in the biz when it comes to guitar lessons on UA-cam. I love how it's just one (or 2 easy) chords per lesson. Really gives us beginners the opportunity to focus on learning one thing at a time without being overwhelmed on day 2 lol. Just wanted to say thanks, you've been an amazing resource!
I’ve also just started guitar! My fingers are painful but I’m getting the hang of the chords pretty fast so far. Good luck!
Quarantine is for the sheep wake up
You still going with it? I started back at the beginning of quarantine, but I quit. I’m trying to pick it back up.
@@Tybent14 Yeah, I am! Hopefully you can get back into it 👍
Yousician: Yousician is the best way to learn guitar
Me having seen Marty Music: Uh huh yeah sure buddy. Whatever you have to tell yourself.
Yousician has nothing compared to Marty
Or as I like to call it "Skip Ad"
I only use yousician for the free tuner
63 yr old brand new beginner here. Am loving these lessons & you make it FUN!!! Thanks!!!
I am 14 and have played piano my entire life. I have wanted to play guitar for a while, and Marty's videos are so easy to follow and understand. Thank You!
How can you play piona but cant play guitar? I learned guitar just to play piono, i wanna know
@@4rcigaming368I mean. You have to learn guitar, you just can’t naturally know all of the chords and notes, even you said you had to learn to play guitar
@@-s1x- what's that supposed to mean?
@@4rcigaming368you said “ how can you play piano but not play guitar” and I said that you need to learn it to play it. What else isn’t there to understand?
I have tried so many videos but your series has helped me the most
so, day 2 of learning guitar and im already playing the 4 chords youve shown us so far. i promised myself i would learn to play when i was 18. 12 years later im on the way haha. you make the experience entertaining, funny(the ring finger lol) and above all else make me believe i can play. thank you Marty. it looks like i'll be able to play a song at my wedding after all
well did you play at your wedding?
this is super late but congratulations!
Dont bullshit i love gitar
Did you play at your wedding
Well? Did you play at your wedding?
Hi Marty, I just touched a guiter for the first time in my life last week when i bought my first guiter as a treat for my mid life crisis. And now i can play E minor, A sust 2 & A major. TodayI'm learning G cord!!! You're exactly spot on, I spent just half an hour each day after work just for 5 days & look where I am now!!! It's really amazing!!!! I already played a tune on my daughter's birthday yesterday & she really liked it. Thank you ever so much.... :-)
54 years old and I am finally playing music. 1week in and it actually sounds like music! A lifetime goal of mine. Marty, you have the best teaching style and personality, Thank you
My kids now say "hey Dad can you play guitar". Thank you so much for changing our little household during these difficult times, your a bloody legend.
He pulled out the wish you were here mid lesson casually
These are the best! My first day and I’m already so proud of myself when I started hearing myself play the start of about a girl! I was always so discouraged to learn but I can’t stop smiling now! Bring on progress!!
I'm in a really dark place right now, and this is basically the only thing that's bringing me joy. Thank you for making this so understandable. It's just going just like you say. Thank you so much.
U still doin it?
Your pace is just right for me, hard to find a reassuring lesson on youtube that also comes with backstories (which I love) about your personal experiences, thanks for these!

Marty thank you! I'm in a rough spot in my life and my neighbor randomly gave me a cheapo acoustic guitar. I've never had an ounce of musical ability my whole life...but I'm having such a good time following along with your lessons and actually by god making music. Not great! But better today than yesterday!

Looked at other videos , but you are far far the best! Thank you do much for these.
Way to go
never too late, i just started 2 weeks ago at 49yrs old. Its such a stress reliever and so awesome!
@BroodRiven when i was 10 i stopped learning after 2 weeks haha, now 3 years later i got back into it lol
How’s ur progress 2 years later? I hop u haven’t burnt out.
Marty I just started to play the acoustic guitar about 4-5 months ago and I’ve been really enjoying these guitar lesson videos you have on UA-cam. Can’t believe their 7 years old though man time flies. Also, what about Bob is a classic movie and a great one. Hi from Edmonton Alberta 👍🏼
I love that Marty starts the video out playing something that you'll learn in the video. I hate when people upload a video for beginners and start the video like they are auditioning
The massive dad energy in these tutorials is sending me, in the best way. Thanks, dude, I've actually got a guitar now (for lockdown boredom alleviation) and I actually feel hopeful about it!
You are legit teaching me guitar, thank you
Ok, I am hooked now. Have always avoided using a pick and strumming. So I went to fingerpicking. Pulled out the pick tonight and I am having a blast. What took me so long!
From a former teacher, you are a GREAT teacher! This 60 year old is finally enjoying learning to play the guitar! ❤
I never comment on social media...ever...but I am so grateful to find out about you and I think everyone needs to know :) Especially, my father, whose last known guitar song was "There was an Old Lady that Swallowed a Fly", lol. Aside from that exposure, I came from a background of piano and the guitar was always something I wanted to begin, but just couldn't seem to shift my thinking over from keys to strings. I have tried several times over the years and almost gave up, but since watching your first lesson, I am strumming chords and making music with an ease, confidence, happiness I've never felt before. Thank you, Marty, you are an incredibly insightful, fun, and inspiring teacher and I will recommend you to everyone I know.
I literally started today and have already made so much progress. You’re KILLIN the game dude
Dude, You are the best!! And there's a lot out there. I'm an old guy who got discouraged at about 5 years old at a group lesson my 1st group lesson where the other kids were already playing. It was humiliating and I never returned. Now at 62, your attitude and method of teaching has me thrilled about playing. I play along with you for an hour at a time, until fingers are getting sore. Thanks a million!!
Hi Marty, Eric Booth here aged 72 and first time guitar owner and enjoying your style of teaching as I don't have a musical bone in my body. I find your lessons a great asset.
INSTRUMENT
Can you tell us the strumming patterns you use also?
He has separate videos for that
i really like how he constantly encourages you, and tells you that you're not going to sound fantastic right away, but you have to keep at it, and that you should practice just 5 minutes a day and you'll see improvement; it really makes you want to keep at it and feel like you can do it :)
Only dude making videos that are actually helpful for beginners. Especially us quarantine beginners.
Only 3 lessons and 6+years since you’ve made these lessons and I’m already catching on very quickly compared to other teachers. They say you gotta find the right teacher for you and sir I think I’ve found mine
One of the reason so many people like Marty's way of teaching is because of his happy and mellow nature....
Jesus how do u switch from A major to g so fast
Practice. Becomes sooo easy. Just start slow and speed up like he does in start.
So far I've been on repeat on this video trying to master it... So far all i have are numb/painful finger tips and a slow transition.
right lol
That's definitely tough for me. I'm just learning. I know if I keep at it I'll get better at switching chords.
Practice practice practice
Come for the skill lessons, stay for the little pep talks that keep you from quitting. Thanks Marty!
I absolutely love how happy and eager to teach he is, most people don’t really care they just wanna put out a video but Marty’s amazing!
I can tell I’m learning something new when I start laughing nervously because I get excited something new is happening from me doing it. You did this through UA-cam for me! Thanks Marty, you’re a great teacher 👏
I saw this ad that said the UA-cam tutorials suck and you can’t learn anything from them and you should go buy their thing instead but theses tutorials have helped me so much and Marty is great
for real dude you believe in those stupid adds 😒
you are amazing! i am new to guitar and i am actualy playing it with your lessons!! Thank you!!
You’re amazing! I learned the acoustic guitar in high school and somehow completely forgot. Here I am 6 years later trying relearn and you’ve made it so easy plus you include rock songs in your vids. Couldn’t be any better! Raaad. Thanks a ton!
I’m glad I play cello for my school because my fingers are calluses and gross
Thank you Marty I played guitar with a teacher in second grade but he went to college and your videos have helped me so much now that I’m in 6th grade
Your lesson series is superb Marty - thank you. I've tried learning various different things off UA-cam but the lesson series I've tried to follow have invariably been useless. The pace is just right for me, and the reassurance that everything will sound rubbish to begin with is very welcome indeed. Actually my G sounded all right straight off, and, listening to your comments, I found myself feeling pleased with myself that it wasn't too plunky!
I must say I can't get the A chord to sound nice though. I'm finding a 2-1-3 fingering working best at the moment, but I'm still struggling to get my fingers reliably near enough to the fret without touching each others' strings. Bah!
know this is really late but im in the same situation as you! (or should i say the situation you WERE in). can get the g chord relatively easy but the a major my fingers keep touching off other strings. I'm sure with practice I'll get better though :)
Man I appreciate this series so much this far. I've just started and watching this today was the first time i actually managed to do something that sounded like music. I look forward to continuing!
Trust the process people!
Thank you brother, you showed me some new chords to play. Now I gotta practice, I was playing along with you haha
i payed for guitar lessons but they dont teach it like you do on the good way so im gonna stick to your channel now :D
Love how Marty teaches, its not to fast to where I need to re watch it 10 times to understand what hes trying to teach!! Subscribed!!! Thanks Marty!
4 years later and this vid is still killing it. Picked up my first acoustic guitar and first instrument I’ve purchased in a decade. Feel a little silly starting back from the beginning all over again but really looking to get the basics down this time around. Appreciate the great beginner series.
this lesson you can really see the chords coming together. i just started today and its 4am now ahaha. but finally learnt my first few chords and managed to transition smoothly a couple times. very exciting!
When i was practicing, i droped my pick and it fell inside of my guitar!😂😅
saaaammmeeee
just dont happen to the ones who do nothing! xP good luck mate! im re-starting playing guitar with this guy :D:D:D
It’s gonna happen ALL the time bro
Same happened here😭😭🤣🤣
Literally just happened as I was practicing like OMG 😂😂😂😂😂
This really struck a chord with me. Please help me I cannot stop the puns? Basic, but vital, Marty, thank you.
Ray, what you're saying doesn't really resonate with me.
But yeah thanks Marty, great tutorials!
AHAHAHA amazing!
s
Overloading my brain and binging all your videos at once but picking it up fast thank you so much dude very easy to follow
People are making adds that yt is not a good place to learn Marty has nothing to do with that he's calm and doesn't rush! :)
This series might be 4 years old by the time I started watching it but I'll say it anyway. Thank you. I love the casual learning style and you really take your time to break notes down and show possibilities. Big thumbs up wish I would have seen these 4 years ago lol. Better late than never!
Wow I love the G chord! It sounds so lively and energetic. Just finished lesson 3. Been doing each lesson twice to really get it down. You make this easy to follow and fun!
these lessons have been way more helpful than any of the guitar apps I’ve tried!! I love you how actually explain everything and keep lessons well paced for a beginner!
Your videos have helped me so much. I've been trying to learn for so long and your videos just makes so much sense. Thank you so much man.
Your beginner videos are the best! I've been trying a few different channels but I always come back to yours. I'm 34 and just getting started and you are making it easier. Thank you Marty
I'm recently retired ,brand new to this and moving ahead slowly, by lesson 3 I felt like I was getting worse. I then saw a video on finger stretches. I didn't play for two days but did the stretches 3x a day, it helped a lot. Maybe this will help other beginners. I'm liking your lessons, thanks.
Can you share the link to the finger stretches please?
Man made this 4 yrs ago and people still watching it. U know he a good teacher
Wish I had you teaching me when I was fourteen. My uncle influenced me with his 10+ guitar collection but truly never really thought me correctly from the beginning. Now that I am 50 my love for guitar and getting back to it has been sparked again thanks to your beginner video lessons. I can’t believe how much I learned in these first three lessons and how your techniques and insights are helping me get back to playing right away. 👏
Since I'm left handed, I literally only just recently bought a guitar 🎸 it's great these videos because when I sit it's a mirror image to you which is so much easier to follow awesome videos thank you so much 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Nicely done. Thanks for the encouragement
When he points his finger is like take it or leave . Just love his attitude and way of teaching.
As being someone who can't sit down and focus on anything as well as having a hard time following along, these videos for sure help and keep me engaged! Been trying to learn on and off for years but just how he explains things and teaches keeps me on the right track. 🙌🙏
Back for lesson 3. Never had more confident to play Intel I started watching you.
Thanks again Marty McFly
He really is a great teacher, I'm glad he makes videos and even more glad that he gets revenue off UA-cam too, he deserves every penny he makes.
You make it look so easy ! Thanks for the help !
I like that Marty emphasize that even real beginner can playing lovely tunes.. It so encouraging to know that just with few cords I can play lot of songs. Many other tutorial spend too much time on technicalities that hard to grasp for beginner and the end results is that you want to give up as you find it too hard.
Let's go Marty!
I've learned more from these short 3 videos, and taking my time practicing 1-2 a day, than I have in 3-4 years I've been "teaching myself." Thank you so much Marty!
So I've been watching as many beginner videos as possible, I must say Marty (big thank you Marty for these free lessons) here seems to have the best approach for me making progress without becoming too frustrated. Now if my fingers will only do as I command them!!
Never thought i'd learn chords so easy and fast and without getting bored of practicing. Marty, you're awesome!
Even the sound of simple chords gives me chills up my spine. I'm 25 now and never found the time outside of work and life to learn guitar. I'm now binging these videos and don't even have a guitar in my possession. The way you explain everything is so clear I'm hooked
Marty you're a great teacher. Never thought I'd learn to play and adapt to music through video in 2 weeks. Definitely recommend you to my friends & family!!! 😎
this morning i didn't know any chords.. only on day 1 rn
Imagine taking Face to Face lessons for a whole year and learning better from Marty than your teacher.
I have been trying to learn guitar for so long. I love rock music and most of my ex's have were guitar players but my ADD never allow me to learn. I am on the third of your lessons and I feel like a pro already. You make everything looks so simple, like I always could learn, but never find a pedagogic guitar professor until I found you. Thanks a LOT!!!!
Thanks Marty for the simple instructions. I found your lessons yesterday and love the way you do chords with strumming. Makes me feel like I can play real music. Looking forward to finishing the chords and continuing on with your other courses.
Yesss! its going good im so so happy now my first good accoords thank so much Marty!
Thank you sensei
I just bought my first guitar from a pawn shop , and in one day with marty learned 4 cords and i'm 63 years old with no musical background. Marty your the best !!😁
I’ve been playing guitar on and off since I was 6. A few years ago I got back into it and started relearning chords by looking up diagrams. I got much better than I ever was but since I taught myself I never found the right flow and sound. I decided to relearn everything using your videos and it has really been helping me, and this is someone talking with previous guitar experience, so I can’t imagine how many beginners you’ve helped. Thank you for teaching others and re-teaching me the beauty of this instrument that I fell in love with. You seriously rock!
