Took me 2.5 months to play this recognizably well from absolute clueless beginner. Thanks man!

Thanks for breaking this classic song down to its basics that even a rank beginner can understand. It's less complex than it sounds, which is probably why it's so memorable.

Love the old rock music. I am an old hippie from the 60's.......Rock on

Marty you are amazing.....do you have any idea of how many lives you have changed by taking the time and effort to teach millions of people how to play guitar.thank you Marty for all you do....

No question about it! I played for a few years when I was in my teens. Then came a lady , baby, you can guess the rest! Fast forward 25 years. Divorced, kids grown up. Said to myself, GDI I'm gonna learn the guitar once and for all! Ran into Marty's videos! Man WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I WAS 12!! Every teacher, and I mean every teacher, just made it so incredibly boring! "I don't wanna play Mary had a Little Lamb" "I don't wanna play Green Fields" They refused to let you learn playing songs you liked! Marty I believe had the same problem! The whole idea is to enjoy the instrument! To have fun! This is what Marty understands completely! What a fantastic, patient musician he is! Anyway 5 years after I picked it back up, I can play a decent "Since I've Been Loving You" (yes the solo as well) Comfortably Numb (yes both solos) tons of Hendrix, Clapton, halfway through SRV's Little Wing, and countless other tunes, I could only dream about before I ran into Marty! I truly truly truly owe it all to Marty Schwartz!! P.S. And a special shout Brett "Papastache" Another fantastic motivator for the instrument!! Spent countless hours with Papastache fo sho!! Thanks Boys!!

Marty, you were one of the first online teachers I found when I started acoustic. And the best! I always go to you when I need to learn a song. LET'S BREAK THIS ONE DOWN! Thank you, on behalf of us newbies. You sure make it look easy.

For sure. Well said.

Absolutely love that song. Takes me back to my time on Guam watching the sun set over the Philippine Sea... And then seeing the Southern Cross in the sky.

Many thanks to Marty for the great lesson and Steven Stills for this masterpiece.

Marty is magic. Great teacher.

I have loved this song since my first Buffet concert in Cincinnati . I always wished I could play a guitar and play songs like this and others. So, when we became empty nesters I started about 3 years ago and you have taught me so much and I’ve learned so many songs from you. You’re a great teacher , easy to see and understand and lots of little tricks I pick up on by watching you that you don’t specifically call out. Thanks Marty. Nick N.

Marty your an Excellent Guitar Teacher even to those who are almost 60 yrs. of age like me. Thank you for helping me get my passion back. Due to a stroke I've suffered from 8 yrs. Ago again Marty Thank You!!! My passion is back. 😎👍

One of my favorite songs I've never taken the time to learn. Thanks Marty.

Guy is the best teacher...darn good player too (obviously)

One of your better lesson's. Thank you so much. So cool to see a happy man doing what he enjoys. Teaching others and giving it away is a beautiful thing.

Listen brother,you've made my guitar playing so much better with the way you break things down.Thank you so very much!

Year after year...here we still are!...me looking up a song on this end...you breaking it down on yours...thnx for taking the time..c ya next time...peace

Hands down...you are my favorite guitar teacher! Thank you, Marty!

Some of the best songs are the simplest cords. Marty you are the #1 teacher on KZread and the # 1 DJ. Your choice of songs are amazing. Thank you.

No problem what your doing is great I use your videos to help me even though I been playing for 3 years I think my favorite song is every rose has it thorns

Geat lesson. It would be very helpful to me if you played the whole song through first then the parts of it to learn. Thanks Marty!!!!!!

I like how you explained each chord. A zoomed in view of your hand would be great.

Awesome man. Great tune laid down so well!

Great job! I must pick up my guitar again. Thank you.

Good Lesson! I have sure learned a lot of good stuff from you over the years. Thank you so much for the lessons~

Thanks Marty. I just learned to finger pick "Mr. Bojangles" and some people have said they enjoyed it at the open mics. I think this would be an awesome song for me to learn since my strum pattern on most of my songs is the same and this is different. Going to look up the tabs right now. Thanks again. Christopher

Thanks!! clear and simple!!

Thanks Marty.

Great job! Picked up the guitar at 40 and have learned a lot from you. Bought your "all in" package with all DVDS, website, etc. I'd love to hear you break down some Jason Isbell songs off of Southeastern, Americana album and artist of the year. He played guitar for Drive By Truckers, and some of his tricks are a little complicated to play by ear. Thanks!

Love the lessons. Has helped me alot!

You by far do a very good job teaching. I’ve seen a lot of other guitarists but you by far are the best. I appreciate it. I’ve learned a lot from you. Thank you.

Very good !!!!

yep...Keep on Loving You...by REO. Most excellent instruction....as usual. Keep on rockin' bruthu!

I miss the enthusiasm you had when you taught a song you liked. After the lesson, you'd play & sing the entire song so we could too to see if we got it right. I know that's time consuming, but I appreciated it. I noticed during your lesson of Mr. Jones you did NOT want to play that song but probably got a lot of requests for it LOL. There are parts of Southern Cross that screw me up & the music I downloaded has a Bm in there with the "nicely MAKING way, twice you RAN away, & promise of a COMING day" lyrics. I wish you'd go back to singing the songs again, at least where the chorus, bridges or whatever change the rhythm. I don't know about anyone else, but I'd appreciate it. Thanks Marty!

"Bread" song

Nice Mr Schwartz! This is one of the tunes that seems to have an unusually long extended chorus. Like an a1 chorus and a2 (not even what you could really call a pre chorus). Its a sweet tune.

I’ve been playing for 18 months. How do I put this...I love you Marty. Really great what you’re doing here. I love learning from you. Very helpful. Thanks. Nick F.

The Schwartz! You are a Jedi Master. Thanks.

I just did a general search for this song because I couldn’t find it on the Marty’s Music channel , but I guess I just found it’s channels older brother teaching instead, still great

Marty, love your lessons. I've been playing for over 20 years ans still learn from you. A lot of these "beginner" songs can be personalized with added runs, pull-off, hammer-on, harmonics, etc. Great job, Marty. P.S New acoustic? NICE!

Hi Marty great job. Can you do a lesson on the solo as well.

Nice

Great lesson! Could you please do a lesson for great big old house by robert cray? i love the song, but cant get the chords down. Thx marty!

Also REM perfected that combo....and nailed it too.

I've seen several guys teaching this and you are the only one who has it right or at least mostly right. I've seen people throwing Bm's in the song and it sounds awful. I just don't understand how a person can't hear that it doesn't match. Lol
