Hey thanks for supporting MartyMusic! I also have FREE courses at my site www.martymusic.com

Thanks Marty. This was sooo much easier than meeting the devil at those crossroads at midnight and foregoing my soul.

the amount of swag in that intro is off the charts.

This is like an awakening for me, I'm a newer guitarist and something about blues makes my brain work

Just started learning guitar and I honestly dont think I would have progressed so fast were it not for your channel. You are a great teacher and awesome player. Here's to another 5 years.

Hey Marty. I’ve been following you for 14 years and I really appreciate how you simplify and break everything down so clearly. I remember talking to you on the phone back in, I think, 2012 and you gave me so much inspiration. This video is great, because I fell off guitar when my pops died. I would lay this very same 12 bars down for him and he’s riff over it while smoking his Camels. I just want to tell you that I’m back playing and you’re the first person I searched for to get started again. I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate your knowledge of playing guitar has inspired me over the years. Thank you, brother.

Thank you so very much Marty! I'm 52 and learning guitar again after dropping it for 23 years. Not new to the 12 bar blues but you really helped me to add all the stuff I always wanted but was stuck in a rut. I never had all these you tube videos to learn from when I started to learn guitar and I am in guitar heaven now with your videos especially. You cheer me up, you make me laugh and you help me with all those things about the BLUES I wanted but was frustrated with before we had you tube videos. You and Steve Stiner are my GUITAR GODS of you tube Guitar Teachers.

Blues is where it truly hits home for me! Thank you for a great lesson as always.

Yo Marty, we met backstage once at the Belly Up just when you were starting out.. Glad to see you doing so well! Keep it up!

Plot Twist: Marty was sent from Heaven to teach us how to play guitar so nobody repeats the Robert Johnson deal

I’m never gonna stop playing this sound

This should be a mandatory video for people getting started. Can't beat Marty!

I just started using my dads old strat and I already know teen spirit, smoke on water and now I’m tryna get the 12 bar blues down, with no lessons, all thanks to Marty!

Marty, I’ve been watching for 10 years man and it’s only now just hit how much you’ve helped me in my guitar playing. It took me this long to decide to really put some time in since I first began with taking notes off you in High school. Thanks for always being there brotha! 💖

put it down and come back to it so you dont get frustrated was the best advice in the video tbh

On chapter 4 of "beginner blues" wow you are such a great teacher. You take so much time and patience to slowly build everything up. Thanks for everything Marty! You are the best guitar teacher I have found.

Just this short video you've unlocked so much for me... I will be hitting up your site.

I highly recommend Marty's 12 Bar Blues Lesson!! It has helped me tremendously!!

Marty, I discovered your channel when starting to learn guitar 3 years ago, I'm almost 40 now, and I always wanted to play guitar. I remember the first time I saw the 12 bar blues video. I spent days playing and playing and counting and counting, must of it struggling and trying to do it correctly, especially with the turnaround. I appreciate your effort and patience in putting all this together, and as well the online lessons. I've concluded some of those lessons. Those helped me understand the blues and guitar concepts deeper. And well, now I'm found myself doing for fun 12 bar blues, mixing cools stuff, creating loops, and having fun with some improvs. So Marty, Thanks a lot! Your lessons helped me achieve one of my dreams, and every day I check your new videos to see with which I'll deep dive. If possible, could you do a techinque lesson to understand the concepts behind Joe Bonamassa licks and blues rhythm guitar? Thanks

I love it how you manage to make a single video friendly for both beginners and advanced. I really enjoyed what you did on 5:26, and it is there everything you need to have more ideas for an advanced player. The rest of the video also serves pretty well to refresh the memory.

Once I get done working on this house and moving ive gotta get back to your videos. Thank you for all the information, and motivation!

Martyyyyy thank you so much man. You have been the best guitar teacher for me for 2 years now! Special request lesson "Didnt I" by Darando. I think many of your students would love this song. Thanks again and keep em coming!

Just chiming in also the say thanks. New player. You make the lessons fun and obtainable with goals. I've been playing for 3 months. My wife can actually recognize a couple things. I'm planning a tour soon. ;)

This video explains the building block of the blues incredibly well

I love all types of music but the blues is the most fun.

I crush all of your lessons daily and I never skip a beginner blues lesson. They are always dope.

This a little taste to the actual quality material that Marty has to offer on his website MartyMusic. I started three months ago and he has thought me so much. Love you Marty.

3:40 - Blues Chords With 12 Bars 8:11 - Shuffle Riff 12:56 - Mixing It Together

As a complete begginer of everything guitar you made me comfy to go full blues while learning the basics of the basics, because I was really bored by all the starter things when I want to blues everything out.

For some reason Marty's lessons seem more graspable than others.

Yo Marty, i’m learning how to play the guitar really fast after meeting a guy on a crossroad, it was a very interesting/off feeling interaction but he taught me a few songs and i thank him for that he also brought me to your channel so thank him🖤❤️

Congratulations on the channel being 5 years old great videos and I just learn nothing else matters from your videos, thank you and forever will be your KZfaq guitar student.

Hey Marty thanks for showing me the 12 bars the easy step beginner style I could follow Jerry Lee Lewis rock in the night away appreciate your lessons definitely going to support one of your blues programs.

I see you’ve turned to the dark side with the new fedora

Its amazing how what would be power chords are also used in blues melodies. Very different genres, same setup.

I love the blues! Wonderful instructions! Thank you so much, for all your free lessons. You’re the main reason, I picked the guitar back up at 55. One request, Lonely People by America.

My teacher, Ive learned so much from you Sir., I cant get enought. Thank you... Regards from Angola...

Great tone! And gotta love hitting that V at the end of the turnaround!

Martyyyyy! Where is beginner bass lesson 2??!! Loved #1! I've watched many KZfaq lessons, but yours was the one that felt right. If that makes sense. Lol

congrats on the five years of your Channel, I love it having just started guitar a little over a year ago. Thank you!!

Thanks Marty you rock learned how to play guitar two years ago with your KZfaq channel awesome Mark thanks

Extremely well taught marty.I do this on my Blueridge BR371 and it actually Singssss to me.🤣🍻

Thanks that was really helpful I learned D7 and now I got that bluesy jam in the book. Now I get why theres loads of adverts

Thank you so much.im doing to work on this one. You are an amazing musician and the best teacher ever!!!

Thanks Marty for this blues riff. Im a beginner player with years of music between my ears, this riff has been in my head for like a month and all the videos were more advanced even one you did prior. So thanks for this video, i will be working on it all week!!

Marty looks like such a cool guy I wish we were friends. He apologized for playing 11 bars instead of 12🥲 He’s the best 🖤🎸

blessed are you Saint. Marty Music; patron saint of new players

Listen Marty you don't have to explain yourself Since I've never had lessons before any time I'm looking to learn something on the guitar whether it's a song or a scale you're there thank you.

best blues tutorial ive seen yet. love metal, tolerate country but the blues, thats what i want to do.

Kudos to you, Marty, for your perseverance, & eternally grateful for sharing your guitar gifts...

Thanks Marty!!! I would definitely love to see more Blues videos!!! Truly appreciate and love all you have to offer us!!! 50 years young and learning how to play the Blues and other genres too!!! You're never to old to start learning an instrument or anything new for that matter; it keeps you young and alive!!! Thanks again Sir!!!!

Brilliant tuition ! Many thanks Marty 👍🇬🇧

Happy five years on the channel Marty!

I've been learning guitar through your vids and I think they're awesome!

Two things. One: lots or aha moments here for me. The boogie riff just being an implied chord blew my effing mind. Two: recording 100 videos before even starting the channel was both risky and ingenious for taking advantage of the algorithm. Much respect for you, and I'm so glad that it worked out for you.

Thanks Marty. You and Mike from The Art of Guitar are the ultimate nice guy guitar teachers. Cover all styles and make learning fun. All the best and cheers from Wales. Hwyl

hope the neighbours are ready to hear some blues

5 years man congrats. I've been following you since before. Kind of ironic but when I started playing again the blues was my first goal.

Marty Music = My Covid Relief Channel!

You give the greatest lessons there are on youtube. Thank you.

I subscribed to Marty's 15 video course on beginners 12 bar blues. I've tried other intros to this, but Marty's is hands down the best out there.

Marty... I am simply happy for you because you are happy with what you are doing. More power to you!

11:16 Thats Magic.

Thank you so much! That was one of the best easiest to follow tutorials I've ever watched. You are awesome!

You’re lessons have been a blessing!!! Thanks so much for what you do!!!

Excellent, easy to learn from and nicely paced.

Finally, a great broken down explanation and of 12 bar blues, thank you

After all these years still one of the best if not Thee best guitar tutor on the tube

the one thing that never changes with Marty is the hat. I love it

One of the first things I learned how to play. Love it.

omg. i effing love this lick. first thing i've learnt aside from 7 nation army and i love it

God bless you Marty! I've been playing along with your videos on and off for a many years. You break it down and make it so easy to pick up.

This is everything I've ever wanted! Thank you Marty! Edit: that 11 minute mark is some real BS Marty! 😳

blue mood 💙💙

Thank you Marty, glad to hear that you're running 5 years strong! Keep it up, you are awesome!!

I took my first guitar lessons in Bloomfield, CT at a small store named, believe it or not, "Marty's Music Mart". True story.

Do a video about your guitar collection. I think that would be cool for watchers to see all your guitars

Thank you uncle Marty for bringing more clarity to this topic!

This is finally that what I‘m was looking for! I‘m 45 and just starting and I love blues and blues rock and this is what I wan‘t learn first! Thanks Marty!

this content makes me feel excited. now I wanna get a bottle of cheap whiskey, some cigarettes and improve myself on blues chords. thanks a lot marty.

You are awesome Marty!

Marty... you ROCK!

Marty thanks I really dug this🎸

You're a good teacher Marty. I've been a beginner for 30 years. I think I lose interest and lack patience. I'm trying again by starting with blues. Love the hat sir. 😎🥳💗

Please do more blues lessons! Maybe something for intermediate players, about how to move around the fretboard when there are chord changes.

Thankful AF for Marty Music!!

Man. Of. The. Year.

Please continue with this!

This made the most sense of all the examples of this I have watched from others! It’s a fun start to a journey.

The foundation of all rock......the 12 bar blues. I especially like the shuffle. 😀

Ive been following you for what feels like 7/8 years now and I broke my hands so now I’m going to try and come back thank you Marty

Slight flex at the 11:00 point lmao Great lesson tho, Thanks Marty!!

Great stuff, at last I’m learning the 12 bars blues.

I can't wait to practice this lesson from my favourite Guitar teacher 🤙🏽

OMFG ,Marty I've seen Tooooo many videos for learning electric guitar 🎸 even on your channel, honestly you are the best on KZfaq and specifically this video was one of your best 👌 🤘🔥🎸🌹

Yo Marty! Your lessons are the best and it’s partly because you open with the thing you’re about to teach and then get into it, no ten minute speech about irrelevant nonsense, the format rocks, your lessons rock and that TV yellow Les Paul rocks!

I like that blues tone on the katana. Nice work.

Love brushing up on the blues thanks Marty you rock

I am with you since 2010. Still watching and learning

Awesome lesson man. Going to play along on my Gibson SG
