I am a technician and have no rythm. Not even sure if I spelled that word correctly. I have gone throught the first 3 beginner videos. My lack of beat is obvious, but I feel like I am learning things. Although, I want to fast forward to see where I will be in 6 months. I feel like I might actually be getting it. My wife who used to play an instrument (air instrument), says I am getting better. This is like a 110lb man trying to win a weight lifting competition. I am well out of my league. lol. I appreciate Marty's encouragement and loving his free styles. I hope to get there. Thank you Marty for doing these videos.

I've paid for many lessons over many years. Marty is by far the best guitar teacher I've ever come across.

I recently started taking anti-depressants after suffering with terrible depression for literally the majority of my adult (and teenage) life. I suddenly regained that spark of creativity that I used to have when I was younger, and began writing songs. I played flute when I was younger, but I got the urge to learn guitar to go along with my new-found song writing hobby, and now that everything is shut down and I’m temporarily out of work, I decided that it’s time to learn! I really appreciate these videos! My fingers are sore but my mind is clear!

One thing to keep in mind is that the farther back a finger is, the harder you have to press to prevent the buzzing. So unless you somehow got your fingers in a perfect vertical line (probably not possible), you'll always have to press harder with the top finger.

I have never had a good experience with the guitar my dad made me practice for me it was torture because the guy he made me watch was terrible, I was on my own time and watched this is I got better my dad was shocked when I was so good, so now I’m happy and I’m a pretty good player. THANKS MARTY!!

This is my 4th time in my 30 years picking the guitar back up, and this is the time I’ve moved the farthest. I no longer take my guitar to get tuned, and I can actually play 3 chords so far. Thank you for this video series

After years (I'm 41) of telling my family, "we are not a musical people" I have decided to try and learn guitar. Cheers for these videos, I've already gotten much further than I thought I would be able to.

Amazing.The only online guitar lessons I can actually learn from. Very elaborate and at an adequate pace for beginners. Appreciate it man keep em comin !

Ive owned a guitar for less than a day and im so happy with myself for picking this up so quickly, makes me want to learn loads more!

I bought my daughter a guitar for her school lessons. Thought I'd have a quick go and looked up "first guitar lesson" on the Tubes. Clicked on this dude's video. Now I'M learning how to play. 38 years and I finally made a guitar do something other than screech and whine like a dying animal. Cheers!

It's been a dream of mine for my Dad and I to play guitar together. I'm really hoping that by the time I get married next year I can master to play "Beautiful Crazy" by Luke Combs and sing it to my bride to be. Thanks for the lesson, Ill be tuning in to the next one. You rock!

I'm 71 years old and have wanted to learn the guitar for ages. 40 years ago I played bass (Fender Precision) in a country rock band, which would have been the perfect time for free guitar lessons! But I never did it. Now, we are coming up on the rainy season in the Pacific Northwest and there's that Covid thing going on as well, so I thought I'm gonna do it. I bought a Yahama FG800, recommended by a guitar collector friend, and I've learned 3 chords from your videos. It's hard to make my fingers do what they're supposed to do, but I'm gonna keep at it. Love your videos!

I'm a 32 year old nurse. Can't sing, can't play any instruments but I've always wanted to learn to pay guitar. Once about 16 years ago I tried to play Swing Life Away using your video and got so discouraged because I was young and dumb and thought I should be getting it right away. Fast forward to today. I've been learning with that same Swing Life Away video I watched when I was 16 and using these absolutely wonderful lessons! You are helping me to be able to play a song, with no history of playing music, as a surprise for my wife for our 10 year anniversary in September. Thank you so much Marty ❤❤️

pratice , practice, practiceI. I have ulnar nerve damage in my fretting hand. My Dr. said that playing is good therapy. So for now I'm fretting with middle ring and pinky fingers. Thanks Marty

Thank you again Marty McFly.

Yo dude, really like your teaching methods. You rock the coolest hats, wear some of the same style. You’ve made it easy for a 62 yr old to learn music. Hope you’re still rocking it.

Picking up guitar for the first time in a while. Glad these lessons exist, because this is probably the furthest I've gotten in any of my lessons I've taken, even the ones with "professionals" that I took for a year, I was still more behind than this. Thank you so much Marty!

Just started playing. You are the best teacher I've seen on here.

So beautiful that you teach slowly it's an important thing for begginers to not be demotivated thanks a lot 💜

Thanks Marty, All my friends at school (1950's - 60's) were into guitars. So, what the hell am I doing this for now, well we've got COVID lockdown in Australia. ALDI had guitars real cheap. I bought one and procrastinated. Now I have a tuning app. on my 'phone so the instrument is close to tuned. As Lennon said "I've got blisters on my fingers". Another story for you there was a guy at school who was always on his guitar. One day I was walking past his house, he was out sitting on his garden wall working on his guitar. I said "Guitar, guitar is all you ever do. Where's that going to get you?" The guy is Andy Summers of 'The Police'.

Due to this corona epidemic I decided to learn how to play guitar. I'm 51. Marty's instructional videos are perfect. My guitar is a POS but I am really enjoying this.

Just barely got my grandpa’s guitar and wanted to learn how to play it. I’m on my second day and so far it’s going great! Thank you for making these :)

I have struggle learning it though I just started and know nothing . Just off the first lesson you did I practiced everyday for 20mins wether after work or what not I just make time even if it’s for 5 minutes. I got lesson 1 down good I know that’s probably easy for most but it’s very intimidating and it feels good to accomplish that . I have learned a lot from you in 15mins then I have paying 100$ a month for apps and everything else so I just wanna say thank you . Your really helping people out here or least you helped me and I can’t tell you enough how your time is appreciated showing us thank you .

literally my favorite teacher ever. anytime i forget anything i always find my way back here ❤️. thank u for spreading ur talent to others in the world.

I had a guitar since I was 5 and I always kept trying to learn how to play using the book but I couldn’t. I gave up on it and forgot I ever had one I found it and tried using the book again but I struggled again. Then I found your videos and they’ve really helped me out.

I just love the way you teach. Brief, concise and to the point. Less preachy , more teachy! :P

Picked guitar back up abt a month ago, haven't played for about 4 years. These videos really help bringing stuff back to me. Definitely the best lessons on the internet by far.

It's difficult until you develop calluses on your fingertips, but there's only one way of doing that. Keep at it. Until then, take it very slow and after you make a shape to play a chord, play each individual string to diagnose and adjust your finger positions.

I recently started watching these videos and started playing on my own guitar and my family says that it's getting better, I am rlly thankful for these videos. It makes playing so much fun now

Dear Mr. Marty Music, you have helped me grow so much in music and I have nobody else to thank but you

Thanks Marty! I love your name for one! I have brother name Marty.. (but he went missing 6 years ago or so sadly). Long story. We are still trying to locate him.). Anyways, I started playing at 15-16 and got pregnant young and quit playing sadly. I’m now around 50 years old and decided I’m going to play my other brother’s guitar (he is deceased) but I had two brothers who played and my oldest son’s father. He taught me electric guitar like riffs and flat pick. I never got to officially learn so THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR KINDNESS IN GIVING BACK TO THOSE WHO REALLG WANT TO LEARN! I completed 2 lessons today and I think I’m on my way! Unfortunately I don’t remember a lot I learned back when younger. I won’t forget this time because I never plan on quitting!!

I started guitar lessons at 61 from an individual for about 12 lessons but did not get excited about playing and gave up until your first video and now I can't put it down even after dislocating my ring finger on the cord hand. 3 days after a bad dislocation from a football I was practicing and loving it thank you so much for inspiring me to get back into it👍

Me - "It hurts". My fingers - "Hold our beer".

I’m 10 years old and I really love your videos I hope you keep up the great work on your channel

I love the demonstration of happy and sad faces lol

I come back again these videos and I recall memories!You helped me a lot with your vids in the past and from a complete newbie now I play in A band!Thank you so muchhh!!!

I love your lessons so much

I feel blessed today that the internet exist thank you for your teaching 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

It is recommended that you use a pick,but to avoid that e string barehanded I strum the other 5 strings with my thumb.

Who cares if it's his real name, but what the heck is muscle freeze spray?

I had lessons in middle school. 1978 This is so much better. Thank you

The bright, tinny stuff by the bridge is so fun! Thanks!

today is my second day learning guitar, thanks marty.

You awesome, fun, enjoyable and honest approach is making this experience so much easier :) I've lost track in time just replaying the video and just finding it so good every time. Thank you very sencerly and I hope to be somewhere close to your standard one day. Wish you all the best and keep making these amazing and inspiring videos man. Thank you ✌

Just got my first real 6-strings... for 40th birthday from my wife xD Now I'm trying to kick off with some youtube tutorial for beginners. I went through several courses, most of the time they try to teach you 4 basic chords like G, C, D, Em and encourage to practice switching between. I find it frustrating for the very beginner. This is the first video showing that you can have fun with only 2 super easy chords and be almost like David Gilmour xD It's after midnight and I can't wait for the morning so that I can try it out :)

hi. I live in northern Ireland, and am stuck at home due to the Corana virus, so at 51 started to learn the acoustic, I find your lessons great, and structure is easier than a few others I've tried I seen your video about the guitar buddy and will invest in one of these and use it to get patterns down as well as practicing my chords, I only wish I'd seen your video on choosing my guitar first, as my action is very high and needs lots of pressure, so when I can get out I'm looking at getting this lowered so thank you for keeping me same and stay safe bud

Corona virus out here makin me want to learn guitar.

You have a great way of motivating beginners and reminding them to take it easy on themselves, and give it time. Most things seem really hard at first until you practice and give it all time to sink in.

Thanks for explaining the difference between major and minor.

Thanks my wife says my piddling around with guitar starting to sound like music 🤪 u got me subbed

Dude! How did you know that's where I came from! lol

So far this is extremely helpful, thank you so much for this step by step

I love the way these lessons are organized. The song examples make it relatable and the playing with the Asus2 and A was a fun break from trying to work on chord shapes!
