Out of all of the videos I’ve watched of people playing this song on their guitar I have to say, I do believe you sir have the cleanest and crispiest melody bravo.
Yesterday I was thinking about learning this song and today this pops out. Marty is not just flexing his guitar skills, now he's flexing his psychic powers. Thanks a bunch.
Hey Marty! I just picked up the guitar a few weeks ago at the age of 40. I've seen several tutorials from you and started to learn from you. Your videos are awesome and I am very grateful for you sharing your knowledge and teaching us here! Thank you and keep going with your fantastic stuff!
learned this song from my sister last night. looked ur tutorial up today to make sure i’m playing it right and u literwlly dropped the video recently. Marty Music is ALWAYS on timing
Marty, for the opening main riff where you go from G to F power chord, back to G, for economy of motion: when going to the first G, you can set up for the F power chord at the same time. And then leave the F note of the F power chord in place as you toggle between the chords. The G note will mute the F note while you’re playing the G. This way you don’t have to lift your hand completely off the strings between notes and the F note acts as the anchor for your hand. I hope that explanation makes sense, because it works well.
@@richardvale214 Feels a little unnatural at first (putting your index 1st fret low E while playing the G chord), will just take a little getting used to.
I’ve always wanted to learn how to play this lick for so long and you’ve taught it so perfect as always with all your lessons I’ve been a fan a long time of yours now Marty and I just want to give a huge thanks to you for everything you do you’re an icon and a legend and will forever always be one 🙏🏼
When I first watched this video starting guitar I thought this was hard and moved to practicing chords. Taking a look if you will. After 3 months of practice this song (not the solo) Has become easy to me. Crazy where practice gets you
I searched "how to play don't fear the reaper Marty Music not knowing you posted this yesterday and it was so cool and weird to see you just posted this I just thought it was funny that I thought of it and it just happened
I was actually just looking to see if you made a tutorial on this song the other day. Super glad to see this! thank you! Been watching your videos for a long time.
I won't lie I came here to make more cowbell jokes and saw they have already been made. So, on behalf of everyone who has already said it and everyone who was thinking of saying it: You gotta have more cowbell next time.
When learning this riff you need to treat that last open G string as part of the next G chord otherwise no matter how fast you play this riff it will never sound like the recording. Don’t pause after strumming that open G string, make it part of the next chord. If you are struggling, play the A minor, then pause after strumming that closed G string, then strum the open G and go immediately to the G chord. Timing is everything in music.
Great lesson Man! Love your teaching style. That beginning riff is tricky to play. Gonna have to get some muscle memory going to pick that up to speed.

Clearly more cowbell needed indeed!
LOL
@@-_-_-_-__-_-_-_-_-_-__-_-_ I knew someone would bring up cowbell
It needs more cowbell!
Very true, I got a fever a day the only prescription is more cowbell!
That one really came out of nowhere ! Didn't see it coming.
When there’s a fever…the ONLY cure…is MORE COW BELL! Thank you Marty!!
You made me remember why I wanted to learn guitar in the first place
Bro same
This comment hits home
My first favorite song

This song is one of my favorites! Glad you’re covering it and keep up the great work!
My friend did cover of this song. And that’s why I am here. This is just a crazy good song that I grew up listening to!
You’re a good teacher that thing you did with going fast then slowing it down really helped me comprehend wtf is goin on (idk how to read music)😂
Damn Nate I’m on your acct😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol my band played this in the summer for a concert. It was so great, and seeing you post this video makes me so happy
Iconic riff. Always loved that song.
I cant get enough of it. Playing it on electric guitar gives me goosebumps.
@@salimel4835 Underrated band too. They kicked-ass Live.
Please do the new kid in town by the Eagles or even more Eagles content you are really good at it! 🦅
I second this! The song is actually pretty easy for beginners, just bar chords in the chorus are what stumped me but that’s all really.
@@TheSenatorSam yea and it's fun to play
@Tom I'm sorry you feel that way
Peaceful Easy Feeling!
@@UnwiseWings0973 One of these nights

great lesson to a killer song. thanks marty! I have been working on this and having too much fun for such a great song!
Marty you are the man and your videos are much appreciated. That being said, I'm going to need a little more cowbell.
Marty No one like you and Still loving you both tutorial indeed
Hey Marty, thank you for the Don’t Fear the Reaper guitar lesson. Really appreciated!!

And then leave the F note of the F power chord in place as you toggle between the chords. The G note will mute the F note while you’re playing the G.

I hope that explanation makes sense, because it works well.
Thanks for the tip this will definitely come in handy!!!
@@Trey-bg2bu Kudos for understanding. 👍
@@richardvale214 Feels a little unnatural at first (putting your index 1st fret low E while playing the G chord), will just take a little getting used to.
@@Trey-bg2bu Yes, as hard as it was to describe, it is even harder to do, at first. I’m still working on it too.
Great lesson... and also a great demonstration of the genius behind that iconic riff!
I watched War Dogs last night amd dont fear the reaper is in that film, loved this song since a boy
You dont know how much i was looking for this song
I’ve always wanted to learn how to play this lick for so long and you’ve taught it so perfect as always with all your lessons I’ve been a fan a long time of yours now Marty and I just want to give a huge thanks to you for everything you do you’re an icon and a legend and will forever always be one 🙏🏼
Straight and to the point, you're the Boss 👏👏👏
Both this song and the beginning of the day that never comes almost the same
Interesting my analytics said other that watch my channel watch yours… why did I never get suggested this guy. Fun! Mahalo

AWESOME AS ALWAYS.
Thank you so much for all you do brother! I owe you all the credit for being able to play my dad's guitars that I inherited!!!!!!

As usual, your tutorial is the real shit. Thanks!
Needs more cowbell.
When playing around with this I noticed the lead Guitar Solo is just Dancing around one of the Harmonic Minor positions.
literally just started listening to this 2 days ago and wanted to learn it. Guess I lucked out 😂
Great tune ! Love your breakdowns best
Hey! Please do a tutorial on Roundabout, by Yes, that song is fabulous and there's not enough good tutorials on it.
Great lesson Man! Love your teaching style. That beginning riff is tricky to play. Gonna have to get some muscle memory going to pick that up to speed.
You rock! Thank you as always Marty!!
Cool! Cool! Always great! Wonderful!
Marty man - your hand glitched at 4:49. Anyway, great tutorial thank you!
