Marty Music! Shout out to you for 7 years of teaching me how to play guitar! Now I am just making a career out of my musical talent and I am super happy to be one of your students. You helped me grow as a musician and I will always remember you!
Crazy how a brilliant mind can come onto youtube and teach a bunch of individuals effectively enough so that they make careers out of it , rock on everyone 🤟🏻🤟🏻
As a self taught player, I find it constructive if..instead of memorizing fret positions, call out the notes. This we’ll help you learn where all the notes are on the fret board. Randomness is your best friend, close your eyes, slide to a position and run the scale from there. If you get lost, look for the octave, example if your on the A on the 6 string and you need to find the next A it will be on the 4th string octave.
I guess it’s good to know the scales repeat. You can’t use them without knowing the notes though. You might only need a few notes before changing keys. I guess it’s hard to monetize a video that makes people quit the guitar though. 😂
I learned this by mastering the 5 pentatonic and Aeolian shapes. Then I realized the whole fret board and every scale is connected by these repeated shapes that just lay right on top of each other and interweave with each other from scale to scale. Thats why he says, once you know this , you know all the modes even if you dont know it, every mode lies within each shape.
I love the way you teach it makes it simple. And you do it slow. I've seen people do what you do but they play regular speed and you can't see where their fingers are going but with you you can.
Thanks for the Video! Forgive me for butting in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you researched - Riddleagan Skillful Playing Remedy (do a google search)? It is a smashing one of a kind product for learning complex guitar chords and become a pro without the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my close friend Aubrey finally got great results with it.
a few years back i started learning guitar with your videos. now i just discovered u got a new channel. im really glad you are back. its like my guitar teacher returned from a long long holiday. by far the best guitar lessons on YT! makes me understand so quickly. big up from germany!
Marty ; you are a natural teacher. Im 'middle of the road' kind of level with no theory whatsoever and for the first time, I have come across someone that is teaching in a way that makes the link between theory and practical...and doing it with style! You're right...it is good for me! Thanks!
Dude wtf!!! I know im late and neglected shit like this for way to long .... but thank you so much for your time and music knowledge!! Helped me big time for years now!!
It took me 13 years to finds this holy grail of a video , I've always been clueless about scales as to how to play it , i know theory but this video is all one needs to master to have a kick-ass start to soloing journey, I owe you a lot Marty , seriously thank you brother .
@@djdeto7382 , fun fact : you can write great songs without ever knowing any scales. You could probably write a great song without knowing where F# is on your low E.
I think I'm the inverse of this... I've been "playing" for a few years (about 4 I think), but I want to understand what I'm playing, not just learn a bunch of songs without any music knowledge, so I've been learning scales and chords and modes and just noodling around, but I can't actually play anything. LOL I'm probably at the stage where I should just learn a damn song, because I still don't feel like I can "play the guitar." LOL
@@NeoRichardBlake I’m currently in the same path as you and I’ll tell ya when you learn scales and some parts of music theory first and then learn songs. Your mind will be blown with how simple but genius songs are. It’s actually crazy
Dude, just putting it out there, I've been jamming for a long time and totally enjoy your simplistic approach to various categories. Very informative tutorials!! It definitely shows one can always learn something new - or in this case, WOW! I never thought of it like that!! Thanks, Marty You ROCK!!!!
i watched your vids about 6-7 years ago when i started on guitar ,i wish i didnt just learn covers though tbh because then i wouldnt be here.i rememeber i liked that you mentioned every single note because i was new to everything.Now im finally studying music as a bassist.
I understand now why this is such a pivotal lesson. If you translate the starting point anywhere, its a new key, and you can use the same shapes for the entire fret board. Wild.
Idk if guitar teachers don’t know the theory behind what they’re doing or if they’re just usually bad teachers bc he never once explained that he was started on different degrees in the major scale or what modes they translate too. Had that simple idea been explained this can be applied to literally any scale and any position, instead it’s just a bunch of robot shapes to remember and not know how to apply to actual music.
I totally agree! I love marty and all but I'm either pausing it, rewinding constantly, or just not even playing along and just writing stuff down and the figuring it out on my own. But here's a really simple way to tell which scale you're playing in. The first is G because that's the first note, aka the root note. (He does confuse it a little in the beginning saying you can throw in the 2nd fret on the big E (F#) because it's in the key of G.) So the second part of the scale would be the A Major Scale (5th fret on the E). 3rd would be B Major (7th Fret.) 4th would be D Major (10th fret.) Then the last is E cuz it's the 12th fret. Hope that helped 8 months later.
@Ryan R.W. They are, I should have said that haha. What I was getting at is that each shapes root note changes but they are in the Key of G. For me, it helps knowing what the root note is in the shape when going down the neck. Edit: Also, this is just the beginning of understanding 5ths, triads, etc. So it's good to memorize this before you move on to deeper things. I highly recommend Paul David too, he goes into it a little more in this video > th-cam.com/video/jfDxUUW6o6Y/w-d-xo.html
I guess it may be useful to note and easier to remember that all the starting notes in every of these 5 shapes form the pentatonic scale from G on 6th string: G(3) - A(5) - B(7) - D(10) - E(12). Also you can go diatonic, but 4th and 7th positions (from respective degrees) in this case will kinda overlap 5th and 1st shapes.
Marty! How’s it going! Keep it up! One price of advice, I want more tutorials instead of countdowns. But they are fun so I’ll watch u no matter what! Thank you for teaching me guitar!
Do you have a video explaining how the five shapes can be used as different modes? I know how to move the shapes like a slide rule to go from Major to minor, but can you have a video showing the slide rule for the other modes? There is a lot of technical info about modes, but hardly anything that just breaks down the simple basic "how to" calibrate onto a different mode.
Ionian 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Dorian 1 2 b3 4 5 6 b7 Phrygian 1 b2 b3 4 5 b6 b7 Lydian 1 2 3 #4 5 6 7 Mixolydian 1 2 3 4 5 6 b7 Aeolian 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 b7 Locrian 1 b2 b3 4 b5 b6 b7 All of these modes are in direct relation to the ionian mode, or major scale by sharpening or flattening a note. There are far more modes that are based off of different scales ie. melodic minor modes, harmonic minor modes etc...
This is crazy!! Iv'e been spending the last 2 years playing to minor backtracks, & it's so much fun in any "minor" key 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I want to play like John Mayer so bad! I gotta figure this out! Thanks for posting
So I’ve recently been researching scales and stuff and this is the best video I have seen in the past week. You are like the last puzzle piece. So fucking smart man
Thanks Marty, hey I was wondering if you could elaborate on how these shapes allow you to play all the modes? Is it a question of learning where to start to start (root note)? eg Will a shape/s allow you to play in phrygian mode which has 4 flats in it or would this mode have a different pattern? Your thoughts would be most welcomed.
study the shapes of the scale, take this G major scale and the 5 positions he just showed you. Now take a look at the G minor Pentatonic scale and you can see it lies right under the G major scale as do all the other modes and their different positions on the fret board. Their just repeating patterns that lie within and interweave within each other. You can be playing the A minor pentitonic shape 1 and instantly start playing the aeolien mode by adding a few notes to the A minor pentatonic. Same position just few notes added. It works with any note up and down the fret board.
I am embarrassed to admit that I held off on learning scales (or at least learning much of them) for far too long, and now that I am, SO MUCH is just clicking. Like, I've learned enough songs to kind of intuit some things or what sounds good, but I play mostly fongerstyle and want to write things where I basically accompany myself (for personal enjoyment), and this is gonna help me connect so much. Plus, it's helping me to jam with friends, which was an afterthought, but is so much fun. I don't know why I or anyone avoids doing this but honestly, you're doing yourself a disservice of you don't. Like, this is the guitar equivalent of eating your vegetables. If you don't do it, you're not healthy. Only unlike eating your vegetables, it's probably one of the most rewarding things you can do for yourself as a guitarist, even if only a hobbyist one.
Thanks been playing for 5 months and hit a block so when i found this i was amazed at how it helped me thank you so much it was an awesome lesson Request could you do a lesson on cliffs of dover by any chance ? Thanks
When you move up the scale each scale is a different mode? I know what mode was the first one because you said it, as you move to the second position what name mode is that and so on? Thank you
first one is ionian (major scale), second one is dorian (minor, flat 3 and flat 7), 3rd one is phrygian (minor, flat 3,4,6 and 7) then instead of doing the lydian he moves straight to the mixolydian (the lydian scale starts on the 2nd note of the phrygian scale, same shape if you like), mixolydian is the dominant scale (flat 7, same as a dom chord) and the last box is aeolian which is the relative minor to the major scale, has a flat 3,6 and 7. The locrian scale isn't in one of these boxes but you could find it by playing the aeolian and starting on the 2nd note, after this the circle repeats and you are back at Ionian.
As a complete beginner trying to research about music theory for guitar I feel like there are equations popping out of my head and I just have a blank stare not learning anything but when I wake up tomorrow I’ll feel like I understand just a little bit more.
Back to fundamentals! I love this! I studied it before, but now realizing many years in how Key (pun intended) it is to really getting good at Guitar! The Major and the 6th Aeolian Natural Minor scales… From there the Modes are waiting in a more understandable way! THANKS MARTY… YOU ROCK! 🎸🎶
7 minutes of increasing panic, watching it through, i can't do that... I can't do that, panic... panic... then pause it, and just try to get the first 5 notes from my stupid sausage fingers, and what do you know, IT WORKS!!! ( I still suck utterly, to an Olympic degree, obvs) But this, and the opening bit from your sharp dressed man lesson, and moving it around the fret board, and I find the same sequence in 3 other places. JACKPOT!!! Marty, 6 string Zen master, the Schwartzinator, the absolute Guv'nor at giving clutz'O'matic halfwits real lightbulb moments about learning guitar. Best father and son bonding moments with my boy is when we try a Marty lesson together, and we totally butcher it, but one day, with lots of practice, maybe we'll be ok. Even if we're always rubbish, you can't be unhappy with a guitar in your hands, however bad the day was. Thanks Marty.
So am i correct in thinking that if you slide the shapes up or down a couple frets you move up or down a whole key? (depending where you are obviously)
Hey Marty! Could you possibly do a tutorial on "La Vie en Rose"? Most of the tutorials online are Fingerstyle which I'm terrible at. I want to be able to play it for someone special and would push boundaries to learn it, but the Fingerstyle holds me back. Hopefully I reach out to you!
Thank you for the video Marty! As a beginner, this is good to practice. But I am still trying to understand why there are different shapes? I have watched other videos but for some reason it is still not clicking.... Like from what I understand if you start at the root note you can follow pattern number one. I am just curious for example pattern #2 does not start at the root note of G in your video. Does anyone have any good resource I could use to learn some basic theory behind it? Thanks

This helps a lot. I've been breaking them down as you suggest and it makes it much easier.

Marty is an angel and we are so so so lucky to have him.
Thanks Marty, hey I was wondering if you could elaborate on how these shapes allow you to play all the modes? Is it a question of learning where to start to start (root note)? eg Will a shape/s allow you to play in phrygian mode which has 4 flats in it or would this mode have a different pattern? Your thoughts would be most welcomed.
study the shapes of the scale, take this G major scale and the 5 positions he just showed you. Now take a look at the G minor Pentatonic scale and you can see it lies right under the G major scale as do all the other modes and their different positions on the fret board. Their just repeating patterns that lie within and interweave within each other. You can be playing the A minor pentitonic shape 1 and instantly start playing the aeolien mode by adding a few notes to the A minor pentatonic. Same position just few notes added. It works with any note up and down the fret board.
I've spent hours just on this video. And I WILL NOT move on to another until I get it to the point where its effortlessly done. Thanks Marty!!!
The key to guitar and the scales is to get repetitive as hell !
You followed up on the comments asking for modes explained; you the man, Marty! Thanks
Al always, big thanks to Marty. After learning the pentatonic shapes, I am ready to get my pick wet with the major scale. Little by little.

When you move up the scale each scale is a different mode? I know what mode was the first one because you said it, as you move to the second position what name mode is that and so on? Thank you
first one is ionian (major scale), second one is dorian (minor, flat 3 and flat 7), 3rd one is phrygian (minor, flat 3,4,6 and 7) then instead of doing the lydian he moves straight to the mixolydian (the lydian scale starts on the 2nd note of the phrygian scale, same shape if you like), mixolydian is the dominant scale (flat 7, same as a dom chord) and the last box is aeolian which is the relative minor to the major scale, has a flat 3,6 and 7. The locrian scale isn't in one of these boxes but you could find it by playing the aeolian and starting on the 2nd note, after this the circle repeats and you are back at Ionian.
@@benjamingreen4188 your reply is the best explanation of the modes on the internet
Wow this video helped me bridge my knowledge between major and minor scales so well
As a complete beginner trying to research about music theory for guitar I feel like there are equations popping out of my head and I just have a blank stare not learning anything but when I wake up tomorrow I’ll feel like I understand just a little bit more.
Please add a thanks button, I'd love to pay my dues to you marty, i feel it's not fair to learn from such a good content for free.
Rockabilly riffs are a perfect example and warm up .
Did this man teach all this in 10 minutes 🎸🤘🤗
Do these positions work for all the keys or just G?
Thanks for the videos. Very helpful. I always reccomend your tutorials to my friends. 👍🤘 keep em coming!
Thanks! We play Major scale from 5 different fret! So what are modes in this video please? And Do and Re are not played?
I was wondering about the first or second scale, so it starts on G, can I move the shape anywhere and play say A major or B major for example
Yeah I believe if you just change the root note from g to any other note it will be the same mode just in a different key.
@@gavenc673 You are correct.
I was wondering the same thing can I keep that same shape, and just move it up the fretboard to play different keys
Thank you so much Marty. This journey is great ☺️
Thank you sir.I have learned alot.Just to practice.
Back to fundamentals! I love this!
I studied it before, but now realizing many years in how Key (pun intended) it is to really getting good at Guitar! The Major and the 6th Aeolian Natural Minor scales… From there the Modes are waiting in a more understandable way! THANKS MARTY… YOU ROCK! 🎸🎶
Thanks Marty ,more viewership to you
Thank you so much Marty! Very informative! Cheersss!
So if the first shape is the Ionian/major mode, will the second shape be the Dorian mode? And will the 3rd be Phrygian mode?
Yep. As you say, the 'doh-ray-me' scale. :) I've seriously got to learn this.
7 minutes of increasing panic, watching it through, i can't do that... I can't do that, panic... panic... then pause it, and just try to get the first 5 notes from my stupid sausage fingers, and what do you know, IT WORKS!!! ( I still suck utterly, to an Olympic degree, obvs) But this, and the opening bit from your sharp dressed man lesson, and moving it around the fret board, and I find the same sequence in 3 other places. JACKPOT!!!
Marty, 6 string Zen master, the Schwartzinator, the absolute Guv'nor at giving clutz'O'matic halfwits real lightbulb moments about learning guitar. Best father and son bonding moments with my boy is when we try a Marty lesson together, and we totally butcher it, but one day, with lots of practice, maybe we'll be ok. Even if we're always rubbish, you can't be unhappy with a guitar in your hands, however bad the day was. Thanks Marty.
Marty makes learning so easy. Very gratefull,thank you :)
Do an acoustic lesson on Like a Stone by Auidioslave
Drew Hanna please!!!
Good song
Great guy awesome teacher
Do a "Come back to earth" - Mac Miller acoustic tutorial!!!
5:34 When you want to shred up and firing everywhere but you need teach 5 shapes of major scale and modes.
So am i correct in thinking that if you slide the shapes up or down a couple frets you move up or down a whole key? (depending where you are obviously)
Nobody can explain better than that.. good job 👌👍👍
Thanks Marty great tutorial
Hey Marty!
Could you possibly do a tutorial on "La Vie en Rose"?
Most of the tutorials online are Fingerstyle which I'm terrible at. I want to be able to play it for someone special and would push boundaries to learn it, but the Fingerstyle holds me back. Hopefully I reach out to you!
I can’t find the g spot
Story of my life.
You must have "small fingers"
@@muhammadnoumanpanhwar7969 no he's just a man
@JA S it's a joke
Thank you for the video Marty! As a beginner, this is good to practice. But I am still trying to understand why there are different shapes? I have watched other videos but for some reason it is still not clicking.... Like from what I understand if you start at the root note you can follow pattern number one. I am just curious for example pattern #2 does not start at the root note of G in your video. Does anyone have any good resource I could use to learn some basic theory behind it? Thanks
Congrats on a million subscribers!!!!
