    I can actually play this one on guitar, bass and piano, but I've been watching your tutorials for years, so I had to check this one out. I love this song

    Marty has deserved every subscriber he has so much more than any other person in all of YouTube
  • Marty you have been the reason my guitar career is still going. I’m going to be a junior in hs and have progressed more in guitar than I ever thought I would. Thank you! 🙏

    Every time you release a video I’m already singing along with the intro. it gets even better because the lyrics must coincide with the activity which I’m doing. Today’s activity was making coffee, thus “Coffee time, time to percolate some because I’m tired as hell!” ☕️

    Hey! It’s an Epiphone! I have one too. Then, I found out later that people don’t think highly of my guitar, but it’s what my Dad got for me. And I felt kinda embarrassed. It was what my family could afford. 😢😢 I don’t know why guitars are sometimes so expensive and some music nuts are so stuck up.

    the lovely unhinged embellishment at end and the chicky chicky nirvana-esque nearing the end were amazing - always a pleasure listening and learning from you - cheers
  • @Ratchman_5000
    Loved the ending Marty.. it was like a 90's grunge explosion lol
  • @IsaiahKeiser
    Also fun to play this with open chords like a bluegrass song
  • Marty, love the lesson! You’ve been my go to for years. Could you help me with tone? I have the same amp, so what settings did you use on the amp for those grunge sections? My attempts never sound right. Thanks, Marty!!
