@@collinsmwalilanda5000 i learned it from Marty, and Stitch Method, and Michael Palmisano. Every guitar player worth a fk stays a humble student of the guitar until the day they die, never forget that.

Come to find out watching Marty won't make you good at solo guitar. You're going to have to go ahead and just do it anyways until you're good at it no matter how long it takes like everybody else. Stop making excuses
Hey Marty it's 11:30am here in Alabama i am a drummer but I have been trying to play guitar for about 5 weeks now and you my friend are helping me so much keep up the good work.
😊❤ I like how when you're going lower in that one part, I actually hear a part of the Hand Jive interval, and am thinking of the "How low can you go. How low can you go." lyrics. 😺 and now it gets funky a little.
Great exercises are always the ones that give the player a lot to work on by giving them just a little bit. After two years of playing guitar and trying to play more melodically, I look forward to incorporate this into my practice routine. Thanks so much Marty! Ur the best
This among other things made me pick up the guitar again,I have rather loud tinnitus and I cant listen to music in the same way anymore,but when I play and focus I seem to forget about it for a while,in just depressed I cant be in a band situation,I finelly got to the point that I learned to play a bit and and one or to asked if I want to play with them wich is all I want,but my tinnitus makes it impossible,its to damm loud,but I wont quit I can turne it down ,and this kind of thing helps me like theraphy
So your riffing the A minor scale over A,, does that cover the chord changes to let's say D and E or do you you change the riff also to D minor and E minor to match up? Thanks marty, definitely the best online teacher out there. ❤
No you would adjust the notes you where playing for example. A minor is made up of A C E so you would play those notes so as the chord changes to D you would change to the notes of Dm (being D F A)
Yeah, any help would me fab,, just learning this side of guitar... know all the chords,notes etc... ain't got a clue about solo-ing... thanks buddy... 👍
Anyone else noticed Marty started with his epiphone 335 and switched to his Gibson 335. No that it matters but l must have way too much time on my hands 😂😂😂
i Just watched the video, it was informative indeed and I think he should've explained the topic better (more details. Beginners might have problems understanding it at first.
hey marty! as I said on a past video, im a beginner electric guitarist, and I really want to learn "black cat" by janet jackson, do you think maybe you can teach it to us? if you can't, that is totally okay!
Marty thanks for all you content you are great but I need to give you feedback. Rookies can NOT see which strings you are pressing because of your finger positioning and you don't specify very well. Your index finger on the e string can look like a cord. I'm sure it's not obvious because you are an expert but please look at it from a learners perspective. Also slow down slow down, slow down. And don't add extra notes when coming back to the note while strumming because it's sloppy and students try to emulate that.
Penatonic is a guitar pattern shape, not part of any scale. No major or minor. Pentonics are all minor. Hi Marty get a capo and a piece of paper for your high string A. We need more good guitar playing and also some theory or something too.
That is wrong. My qualifications is I go to a music school and my main instrument is guitar. Pentatonic first and foremost is not "always minor". Secondly, Pentatonic means 5 tones. Penta being 5 and tonic being the tones. A normal key has 7 tones. This means that the pentatonic scale has just removed 2 tones from the key. Let's say we're in the key of A-minor. These are the notes of said key: A(1)-B(2)-C(3)-D(4)-E(5)-F(6)-G(7). The notes that needs to be removed to turn this key into the pentatonic shape we all love are the 2nd and 6th tones. To type this out in frets on the guitars 6 strings it would be: both E-strings, 7th fret. The A-string, 8th fret. The D-string, *no fret*. The G-string, 4th fret. The B-string, 6th fret. Hope this clarifies it a bit and if it doesn't please explain how so i can get rid of any confusion
@@atoriur2121 The Pentatonic when learning guitar makes it so confusing, as does the circle of fifths. Why would anyone ever want to take a couple of notes away from the beautiful western scale as we know it. Even producing a minor scale on guitar by flating the 3 and 6 is confusing. You end up looking for 3s and 6s. Where are they? In the scale of C since it's simple, when you go through all the keys when you get to A the relative minor you start the minor scale all the way back to C and it's major again. Now to stress this point. Where are the 3s and 6s? Good question. The approach when learning guitar makes it so confusing. Now add major and minor Pentatonics, circles of fifths, 145 minor progressions, then major and minor scales and stacking thirds and flat 5s. You will be lost. It's like when they teach arithmetic in schools. They teach numbers and number systems. They never mention logic or logic sets which are the basis for the numbers. Then they have the nerve to tell you to add and subtract letters. Just a bad approach, old Greek or something. To my way of thinking it's just wrong to teach things backward like that. The caged is ok though. Only it could be taught better if the 135s and variations were all just the same pattern moving across the fretboard. It seems to me that guitar and music should be taught so all the parts that make it up don't conflict with each other, but instead jive into one.
@@saucerjock so i could try and explain stuff to you but i hardly get what you're going on about. it's just one massive ramble honestly. but i am willing to sit down with you in a call. each of us with a guitar for when we wanna exemplify a point that we're trying to make. you getting to ask any and all questions you have and i can do my best to answer them and clear up all the apparent fog that exists in your knowledge of the guitar. would you be up for that?
@@atoriur2121 One last reply here. I'd call you except I don't communicate in video to well. So you attend music college. If it's Berklee, I am speechless. Heard it's the best. John Mayer and others. What I wanted to say here is take your guitar string put your finger on the middle of it about the 12th fret. That is the octave. Now put your finger on the middle of that. That is the dividing point between consanants( phase additive to the tonic open string) and the dissonant( subtractive from the open). Just above and just above that center point is the great divide. Also it is the 4 and 5, the rock and roll chords. The open and the 4 and 5 are the Only Major Chords in the entire western scale. That's why peneatonic sounds so good. You have two minors above the center and two below. There are more minors than majors. I'm still sticking with the idea that the pentatonic is just a real good shape and works really good with minor lead patterns. Marty's music sounds so good and he uses a lot of pentatonics. Also for a good reference on everything guitar check out Marty's latest video with the guy with the coke bottle glasses. That's the guy from Berklee that taught John Mayer. He's the best. As for me, I am not a real musician, I'm a freelance scientist who likes music. It's just a sideline. Like notre dame, they have a religion and football. And somewhere in the backround is the bell ringer who makes the sounds. Not the biggest issue there, the sound. Music is not that important of an issue to persue it heavily. By the way the string is devided in 20 cps increments throughout the entire hearing range 20cps to 20k cps. when you stack thirds in it, you get a phase that decreases from the tonic defining the note and thus the chord. The guitar has a 5 note spacing between the strings that comes up with a single pattern over and over again so if you are ever looking for any sort of chord there it is. Piano is also string only a seperate string for every 20 spacing. I think horns are similar and so is the bent saw played with a bow and even the jug with liquid still in it. It Doesn't Matter the Instremant the sound is still devided chromatically in 20 or so incremants. And using intervals, the western scale. Been that way for a long time now. From Mozart through Handcock, Plantz Paege and Jimmy. Intervals of tension and release and the rest.
@@saucerjock so to begin with, i'm swedish (so no berklee) secondly i don't go to college (yet) however i still know the required music theory to explain what i mean to you. firstly, the 12th fret is not in the middle of the string. not even the middle of the fretboard. however the middle of an open string to the 12th fret would be the 6th fret which isn't even a whole tone (it's A#/Bb). i don't get what you mean by "the great divide". also the 6th fret is not both the 4th and 5th chord AKA not the rock and roll chords. thirdly rock and roll chords have a second name, power chords or in music theory language: 5 chords. why? because they only contain the root and the 5th. why i'm bringing this up is because later on you refer to them as major chords. there you go against yourself. "the 4 and 5, the rock and roll chords. The open and the 4 and 5 are the Only Major Chords in the entire western scale." the first sentence is false but the second is true. then you go on to say "That's why peneatonic sounds so good. You have two minors above the center and two below." which is false. the first sentence is false because far as i'm aware we don't know why the interactions between tones sound good to us but we know they do. the second sentence is also false. let me explain through the key of E major. if you wonder why the key of E major specifically then it's because the open E strings are tuned to E so it just makes more sense to me personally. so this is what the notes of the key of E major are: E-F#-G#-A-B-C#-D#. on frets that would be 0-2-4-5-7-9-11. but remember what i said in an earlier comment. the pentatonic has removed 2 notes from whatever key it's being played in. in this case, the 4th and the 7th have been removed (not the 4th and 7th fret to clarify). one of the major chords and the diminished chord. and now our key of E looks like this E-F#-G#-B-C#. on frets it's gonna look like this: 0-2-4-7-9. thus our middle chord no longer is a major chord. it's infact a minor one. which sure could be used as an argument for why the pentatonic works really well with minor lead patterns as you stated yourself. however the pentatonic can also be used over major chords. remember that our root is E in a MAJOR key. that means our root scale is also major. i have used the E major pentatonic myself and it works just as fine as the Em pentatonic. i think the reason why marty uses the pentatonic scale is because that scale is the most common scale in, generally, all of music. so it's safe to assume that most guitarists watching marty's videos only know the pentatonic or they are most familiar with the pentatonic (i'm going off of the assumption that the the majority of marty's viewership are guitarists/guitar enthusiasts who don't go to any kind of music school. ofc there are exceptions like myself). hope that clarified stuff and if you've got any more questions or stuff to add to the matter then just send another comment (that offer for a call is still up if you ever change your mind) P.S. do you mean you're not a real musician as in you don't frequent a recording studio or in the sense of you not even playing an instrument? just wondering
Been watching Marty for years, I still can’t really solo. But love to let him try and teach me - here’s to another year of trying.
Same here, much worse this is when am starting to know the key of a song😢

Good lesson and great exercise
Pentatonic is everything!! 😀
Simple but very effective. Great.
I dig it. A little trip-le-a goes a long way
Yes! Now you're talking
this is a great lesson
I practice 5 to 6 days a week. Thanks Marty
