The minor scale is the Aeolian scale. Same notes just starting on vi, or, A. right?

This is mostly true. But there are lots of other scales outside of tonal music.

Marty, I’ve been learning from you since I was 8 years old (2009) learning come as you are from you. Didn’t get serious till I was 14 (2015) and went right back to you. I’m 22 now, and you’ll always have an important role in my life

Thanks for watching and supporting MartyMusic! I've also got a bunch of FREE courses at my site www.martymusic.com

When it comes to Marty's educational prowess of the Axe...All one has to do is observe the name on the amplifier...

From a self taught guitarist… thank you for putting out all of these awesome videos. A year and a half ago I picked up a guitar for the first time and I was so clueless on how to even start, or if it was even something I could get good at. I pulled up your Beginner Electric guitar video and the rest is history. I’ve been stuck on trying to learn scales and all the positions etc because everyone seems to make it complicated. So thank you for always going the extra mile to break everything down and most of all for being so passionate about it!

I love your last name as it reminds me of Sturgill Simpson. If you are not familiar with him, check him out. Great post by the way...Marty has helped me alot. I don't know your age but, I grew up in the 70's and to learn guitar, it was totally on you. You needed a good instructor or you were at the mercy of playing albums and guessing alot.

If your watching videos and reading books then your not self taught. Dont flatter yourself

Thanks for putting out these videos Marty. I’ve learned how to play some songs here and there but have realized the importance in mastering the fundamentals; especially for older players starting out. I appreciate everything you’ve done for this community and hope you keep rocking for many more years.

Marty you got me started playing guitar 13 years ago thank you for the great videos over the years.

I am fairly old Marty but I am trying learn and can now play a couple of songs because of you. Thank you.

Thanks Marty! I've been a trumpet player for about 10 years, but only just started learning guitar (mainly just for the fun of noodling around to stuff I listen to😂). You explain stuff so clearly and you have a truly infectious personility! I love how your videos always reinforce the idea that learning, teaching and playing an instrument is - for many people including me - primarily about having fun. The joy and passion you have for teaching and playing guitar really comes across in these videos, which makes them a pleasure to watch!!

Sending love from Greece, to the best guitar teacher there is! You taught an old dog a bunch of new tricks! Thanks

Marty is one of the few KZread guitar teachers who actually posses the skill to teach

I started up guitfiddlin after a break of 15 years after my 5th band broke up. Loving all the youtube tutorials these days I never had. You are on the top of my list. Mainly because you take it slow, move your hand out of the way and repeat everything a few times. Very easy to understand. Great work

FINALLY!!! I WAS WAITING FOR THE MAJOR SCALES VIDEO! HATS OFF TO YOU MARTY!! ❤️🔥🌹

Thanks Marty, exactly what I needed to tie some things together. Easy to understand and, as always, expertly explained. And thanks for what your doing with Gibson on the music in schools, truly noble, I applaud you. I will be making that donation because of your channel.

I started watching Martin at 30 years old, never picked up a guitar and wanted to know how to play so I could teach my son to play guitar. I'm now 38 and back here to learn more than just G, A, D, E, C, Em, F. Thank you man! 🎸🤘

I come back to you over and over. Thanks dude

Excellent info! I definitely use your videos as reference when I need to refresh and prepare for gigs!

Love your channel Marty! Years folloeing you from other channels. Hope you expand this concept, it's REALLY helpful. Be safe man.

Great lesson! You really know how to explain it simple enough so that a beginner can learn without feeling rushed. Thanks for sharing! From the commentsi have read, there are so many people who really appreciate what you do

One of the best. Have learned so much watching your videos. From a guy who just plays by ear unable to understand tabs and stuff. God bless you and thank you

Marty bringing yet another gem of a lesson to us, thanks for all that you do Marty! I appreciate every lesson you deliver :)

Saludos from Spain, you are by far the greatest guitar teacher I’ve ever had, in person or on youtube. GRACIAS!

These videos are really helpful, I've already learned a few songs from them. Please keep making more!

Good one Marty. As a guitar teacher my main quick tip for students who found playing something over a Happy chord progression difficult has always been.. PLAY THE PENTATONIC SHAPE - 3 FRETS DOWN from the root of your home chord. No shapes, because that's called MODES. just the pentatonic. Instant country, instant paradise city, instant Knockin on heavens door! As someone who learnt guitar during the late 70s metal revival I appreciate that cissy, soft, happy gets ignored!

Scales are not only for fish, they are for guitar players too. Marty just keeps on teachin'.

Very helpful ! Love your song lessons as well.

Thanks for this! It goes great with the lesson Chris gave on your channel the other day and is exactly what someone at my level needs. Thanks brother!

Definitely the Best teacher I've came across, you make it easy to learn & understand. Much Appreciated 🤘🏼

Marty, I started watching you a year ago when I started my guitar journey, thank you for everything brother. You're the man!!!!

Yo! Much love, man. I deeply enjoy your videos and learn so much!

LOVED your opening solo.

Dope as solo, loved it!

The first video I watched of yours was the "time of your life" tutorial , and I've been watching since then . I really wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

Love your videos! Keep going!

My fourth video on this scale, and the only one of the four that actually taught me how to do it. Thanks, Marty!

Very well explained as always Marty. Thanks dude!

Thank you Very Much, quite helpful and will use every time I practice

Great video, Marty ! Trying to get these shapes down now!

Exactly what I have been looking for. Please do the other positions as well. Thank you again!

Moments of guitar clarity by the master. Thank you Marty!!

Great video always making it easy to understand.

Great lesson ,,, Fantastic tone !!

Thanks Marty. Appreciate the help

That was so brilliant, from the original A C D G E F Chords and the Blues and the lessons I have followed, this brings so much more together in my understanding of sweet, sweet Music. Thank you ever so much for your easy to follow lessons. Best ever progression in my mind from the past 2 years of learning.

I really wish there were more on the major blues. That's always a lovely key to be in.

As I wander along at age 78 starting the guitar when I was 25 I made most of my advances in the last 10 years thanks to Marty and tremolo guitar store in Kalamazoo I buy and sell used guitars I've been learning to be a loser by good ones and I've taken quite a few lessons from Marty and from Scott at tremolo guitars who has had some wonderful collections of Gibson's fenders after 7 years

this is how i learnt to play at music school they did not use petatonic just major scale i love it . this playing is so much more meaning full than shreading petatonic sounds thank you marty from somerset uk

Marty I just got a looper pedal from mrs. clause. this is exactly why I got it- to expand my skills- got rhythm down pat, need that solo ability and this video was super awesome to get me started! Thanks my man. been watching you for many years. in fact- I owe my fan favorite (around the campfire) piano man cover to your lesson! cheers my man happy new year!

This guy is the most iconic guitar youtuber ever

In addition to all the great cover songs you do. This major scale helps alot. I usually do 1 4 1 4 and 2 3 alot. The looper is a great way to practice keys

Brilliant BRILLIANT video thanks

always blessed to be able to log on and watch a marty music video. millions and millions of people have learned how to play thanks to this dude!

thanks marty, im 14 and i started guitar about 2 months ago, this is my first scale im learning!

Literally just may have explained everything I needed to know all the notes up and down the fret board 🎉🎉🎉 thank you 🙏

Thank you!!

Thanks, Marty for all that you do. I'm catching on fast and enjoying getting out of that rut. Been playing rhythm a long long time. Get me a looper and I'm cooking with grease~~!~~

Marty you are the literal best man. Thank you for helping me learn the guitar!

Love your channel, you are the guitar ambassador on youtube, i did learn the 5 major scales on the neck, but now I am boxed in, I am looking to learn the neck of the guitar, playing any where on the neck. Do you have a video that teaches how you move around on the neck easily?

Thanks Marty, great foundation skill.

Thank you Marty. You're Awesome!

sounds great

Am appreciating too like others It's almost a year since I started learn . I've never attended a physical class. But Marty has been my class

this is exactly how i learned my minor pentatonics, just practicing some blues chord progressions helped me find the melodic phrases and repeating sounds

Mahalo Marty, this is awesome...I can see where I can do this major scale up and down the fret C, B, A, G. All good. Thanks for the inspiration!
