  • “Got a real easy 3 chord song for ya”… And YOU can do it.!!! says Marty …… Even though it’s wrong, and sounds like sh@t, you CAN do it! Please don’t….
    You should not label a song “Easy” then teach beginner students how to become hacks and play songs incorrectly. Not once do you even mention there’s a correct way to play this song and that this isn’t it. Nor do you mention even once, the extremely important rhythm that’s an absolute MUST,:and that without that ever so important rhythm, no matter what chords are played, it will never be recognized as being that song. Instead, you use “Down-Up-Up-Down-Up-down-down-Up-Up-Down” etc etc etc and all that useless nonsense. Those “Down-Up-Downs” are all pointless without being in the correct beat and groove.
    This rhythm pattern and syncopated beat, is what really makes the song. NOT the 3 chords.(which you also have wrong but I’m not even going to bother getting into that in this comment.

    WATCH the lik below….Focus in closely on TIME STAMP 6 seconds through 30 seconds mark. Slowdown the video to half speed if needed, to clearly see the proper chords, and the proper chord positions. AFTER you’ve got all that dow, work hard on getting down the ever so important rhythm/groove that is 100% what makes this song what it is…. https://youtu.be/Rqnw5IfbZOU
    IF you’re a beginner guitarist, this song is going to be to difficult for you to properly play right now..Three chords, Four chords i a song or not, there’s a lot more to properly playing a song as a guitarist, than simply and randomly strumming those 3 or 4 chords.
    Sorry Marty, but, THERE IS a right way AND a wrong way to play songs. EVEN for musicians playing music. You shouldn’t encourage beginners to play something wrong, and well called out on it, have them say, I’m an artist, and THIS (the wrong way) is the way I WANT to play it. Again, watch here from 6 second time mark to roughly 30 second time mark. https://youtu.be/Rqnw5IfbZOU

  • Holy fuck. 2.3M subs as of turkey 2021 and now we know the reason everyone sucks. “Down down down down up” as guitar instruction is the Bain of all guitar instruction.

  • Marty, you rock man. I'm surprised that nobody has picked up on the fact that you just taught us two songs in one. This is the exact same chord progression and strumming pattern, I think, as Neil Diamond's "Cherry Cherry". The only difference is that for "Cherry Cherry" you tune the entire guitar down a half step.

  • Same as R O C K in the U S A.  Johnny Cougar, She Got The Western Movement Neil Diamond and probably a few others. Well worth learning 3 for the price of one!

  • When a guy who looks awesome as fuck in a fedora shows you how to play guitar you got to pay attention to him.
