    What a fun and exhilarating song, as with all of The Who's songs. Townsend just knew how to write music, and especially for guitar!

    The genius of Marty is when he plays a song, you want to learn it... regardless of if you wanted to learn it when listening to the original! It's the joy factor that Marty brings to learning the guitar...

    The opening is one of the greatest in rock music. On “Going Mobile” he also uses that B minor chord but does a different progression.

    Been playng and singing this song for years, but seeing it broken down is great. You're an amazing teacher. You are very pleasant to listen to.
    I'm so old I used to tune with a fork. Where were you when I would wear my LPs to scratchy Frisbees. Love the hats!

    This song caused me and my 70s guitar teacher to part ways. He taught it with full barre chords. The rhythm is fiendishly difficult. You've encouraged me to give it another go. Townsend is determined to play as many chords as possible with an F# in the bass.

    Thankyou for giving us these incredible songs....nobody plays this stuff anymore...and it's one of the best numbers ever recorded IMHO. The WHO was and remains an incredible group of musicians....
    The rubbish produced these days in the disguise of music WILL NEVER compete with the WHO, the BEATLES, STONES, CREEDENCE and most of the 60s to 90s productions. My opinion of course.... but as a musician myself there must be hundreds of millions of like minded souls out there who would agree. Keep it going Marty....please 🙏🙏👍👍

    Main thing on the strum: 1234 and 1234 and 12 etc. with the ands an UPSTROKE, just like the 4s before it. It won't sound right w/out this pattern of two upstrokes following each other

    Can we consider Marty music a guitar god? Yes when I say guitar god you may think of Jimmy page or Jimi Hendrix and people like these revolutionized guitar playing. Marty may not have revolutionized guitar playing but he revolutionized how to learn guitar which I would argue could have as big of an impact on the community

    That rhythm on the descending suspended chords has messed with my brain for 40 years. No matter how familiar I am with it there is something preventing me from accenting it correctly. The chords are easy and the rhythm I guess are just 16th triplets but it's the beat emphasis that trips me up over and over and over all these years.

    Hiya Marty, great video as usual .. I wonder if you can break down just what happened at around 10:14 when it looks like you slid from the second fret up to the twelfth then back again on yr A string which really set the piece off .. I'll try it anyways good luck :)

  • @adoil4058
    @adoil4058 Рік тому

    Hi! Im amazed with your skill and wanted to ask a question. I am left handed and play right handed guitar flipped. I've learned guitar by watching youtube tutorials like yours and have been playing this way for 5 years now. Went to some courses but the teachers said they wont be able to teach me this way and that theory is based on regular playing style (not flipped). Now I have the opportunity to buy an electric guitar and dont know if i should buy a left handed guitar and re-learn it so that it would be easier to find a proper teacher and learn theory. But it would mean I will struggle with muscle memory and start all over again. Any suggestions on what should I do?

    • @MartyMusic

      they are not the same actually. The Eminor has that open G string while the E5 does not. If you have to play a full chord play the E Major chord there.
