      I have an interesting idea for a lesson, how about a tutorial on Second Solo (unofficial) in Wish You Were Here? Gilmour played it during "The Reunion Live", it's pretty great, and nobody had made a video about it yet.

    • @ryanperrett3740
      @ryanperrett3740 10 місяців тому +1

      Every lick is perfectly layered across each chord transition being played. It's magical in it's complex simplicity if that makes sense 😂

    Marty:
    You are a wonderful teacher. I've wanted to get "the lick" from this song for years. I saw Mark Knopfler in Las Vegs a few years ago (if he's close, go see him); the place erupted when he played it. Thanks for the breakdown.

  • @Dan-Einar
    @Dan-Einar 5 років тому +1

    I truly appreciate your teaching style. You're slow enough that I can follow but I don't feel like you're talking to someone who hasn't played the guitar before. Just the right speed, with lots of helpful repetition. And you are very clear in what you're saying--no stumbles or mumbles. Thanks, Marty!

  • @sarveshwalia7541

    Having watched many tutorials on this outro solo, I find yours one of the better ones. Specifically, I like the way you deal with shapes making the phrases. They appear sensible and what an English guitar player would actually play. i.e. simple chord shapes and phrases picked quickly and efficiently. Excellent video - thank you Marty.

  • @Godisnotmyshepherd

  • @JohnHWelch63
    @JohnHWelch63 4 роки тому +2

    i absolutely love Mark Knopfler's style and I have a lot of fun learning and playing his solos. IMO his stuff is the most fun to play, and other than Stevie Ray Vaughan, I can't think of any other guitarist I can watch play and be totally absorbed in it!

    Marty, you are perfect for teaching guitar for thickos like me, You explain every bit of detail note for note and not assume we know all the rest. Not only do show us once or twice but you show us three times and you do it really slow so we can actually see where your fingers are going.
    If you still can't play a song once Marty has shown you, you might as well do a Jimi Hendrix, pour petrol on it and set fire to it.
    That's all I wanted to say. Cheers, Marty.

    Marty thanks so much for this lesson... I learned this long ago but was hitting my head against the wall trying to play that fast lick right at the 10th fret You broke it down beautifully it's still a work in progress but at least I know how it's supposed to be...I've been a big fan of yours for a long time...I have even said you are a GOAT given all the teaching you have done on guitar...which in blooms taxonomy it towards the top of the pyramid ...You're a little grayer now than you were 15 years ago but you haven't lost a step...Thanks for all the great years....

    • @franknada8235
      @franknada8235 5 років тому

      For it to be exellent it would need to be played in the actual and _same_ phrasing with rhythm at half speed or third speed as the original. Marty shows the right notes slowed down but the phrasing and rhythm becomes a mess. But since he does show the right notes: 8/10 and muchas gracias from me to the man.

    Hey Marty and comment readers. Feeling rather grateful to have guitar and music in my life. After learning about the local drive here for toys-for-tots and learning that every year they have a shortage of gifts for teenagers for families in need I've decided to buy a starter guitar and donate it. I thought maybe some others who feel comfortable with a $50-$100 (cheap guitars are how most of us started) holiday contribution might think about doing likewise for a local organization near you. Think about how appreciative a local teen in need could be to get the opportunity to focus on something positive like music. Just for your consideration. In any case rock on Marty and Marty fans/students.

    GUYS, the muted sounds, just use the middle finger for the tones and mute lightly all other strings with your index finger! Because you will also eventually bend the last tone with the long finger. This is how I btw play muted strings for can’t stop by RedHotChiliPeppers.
