Let’s Talk! Answering Your Questions On Van Halen, Amps, Music Theory, Teslas, Slippery When Wet etc
In this video, I take time to answer viewer questions on a varity of subjects such as improving on guitar, music theory, picks, Van Halen, my time with Slippery When Wet and much much more. I enjoy doing these videos because it’s cool to interact and communicate with you all that submitted questions and view the channel. Everyone always asks good questions and I think many others will enjoy and hopefully benefit or get something out of the answers. I don’t claim to be an expert, just offering my thoughts and opinions on some of these subjects. Thank you all for the submissions and for watching. At the time of recording this video, the channel recently passed 40K subscribers. In the world of YouTube that is a rather small number, but to me, it is significant and I am excited to see the channel continue to grow. Thank you all.

Did you watch and have same reaction?
Marty. Congrats on your 40 k subscribers. I am not surprised and only see it getting bigger. As said in other comments you are genuine and see to be a softhearted and helpful person to us guitar lovin folks. I have to ask, I recently watch the Wolfgang behind the music documentary and balled my eyes out. Geez I miss Ed . Thanks again for channel.
It's like a puppy You don't see it every day so when you see it you can see the growth, but the owner doesn't see the growth like you do.
On the topic of EVH tone for under $500 I’m going to suggest the Fender Mustang GTX 50 it has a EVH 5150 ( plus downloadable tones from other users with his tone already dialed in) amp with incredible tone and any effect you could ever imagine for $399.99 it has a Celestion 12 inch speaker ????
That was a fantastic video!
I think anyone playing guitar could find something to help them be better players.
Great job Marty!
I love your Floyd Rose tutorial you made here on the channel. It was very educational. You made it seem less scary. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Congratulations on reaching 40k, I been subscribed for I think around 1.5 to 2 yrs now, really enjoy the content of your videos, keep up the great work, see you next time, have a great weekend ????
Cool Q&A Marty every time you do this we learn a bit more about you funny question from 12 foot chain he's done some cool Hendrix lessons congrats on the 40k ????????????
Hi, marty thank you so much, for sharing your informative knowledge on guitar theory, as a rocker my self, KEEP THE HAIR BRO, long & proud…Marty u are a great muscian, with a great personality that shines, KEEP ROCKN' MAN…LONG LIVE EVH!!/ YOUR AMAZING MARTY, YOUR CH ROCKS…
Hey Marty, just wanted to say that the one reason I watch this channel is you're genuine, no made up BS and no pretence. Loved the kit videos which made me take the plunge with my son to build a kit guitar. The riff lesson from Def Leppard we both played through and he even played it in school, taking a guitar in to class. Sure, there are things in some tabs that are incorrect if you spend a week looking for errors but if it sounds good who the fk cares. Keep on rocking my man and if we make the trip over to the US and visit Nashcille which is on the agenda, this is where I will come to ask for tips on where to go!
Can’t believe I missed this. Been working my arse off at work. What Friedman model do you think gets closest to the Brown sound? Thanks Bro
(P.S.- For anyone having trouble learning theory, I highly suggest the book “No Bull Music Theory for Guitarists by James Shipway. It’s laid it so anyone can understand it)
For the “brown sound” under $500 I recommend a Yamaha THR amp…I picked mine up used for 300 bucks and I freakin love it…I use it every day…you’re a cool dude Marty and I really enjoy watching your channel ????
I played the Katana in a store, think a MK2 or 3, on the Brown Sound setting. Came to test a guitar, left wanting that amp ???? really good sound for EVH
Thanks Marty ????
Great answers. I'm an old fart, and I was laughing when you got to my question, then started about the issues with long hair. I'm bald????, started shaving my head a few years ago. No point pretending it wasn't getting thin…
My question was for younger viewers, so they didn't follow my mistake when I started off. I remember reading Eddie Van Halen didn't learn theory, so why should I? Well, in my early 20's, I realized, I'm Not EVH… This led, along with life, to hardly playing for a couple of decades. I recently started playing again, and I'm learning theory, and loving it. Everything you said is true. The amount of "Oh, that's why that fits", and ""ah, that's what they're doing" moments, playing more than than I have since I was in my early 20's. This channel has been a huge help, and a big inspiration. Glad you'll be "annoying" us for a long time to come.????
Thanks Marty, I’m really going to take your advice, I wasn’t sure if you were going to address my question, so thank you.
Joe
The effects on the Katana are already on the amp. You don’t even have to download them!
This great home grown guitar talk!
Have you thought about doing a live stream? That would be awesome
