This was the last thing i played to my Grandfather before he died and i played it at his funeral it was his favorite song. You certainly do it justice martyzsongs and ill be stealing a few little things from your version.
I just sent this video to my son. I'm hoping he can learn to play this in time to play for his dad and my 13th wedding anniversary. We will be renewing our vows in Vegas, and I think this song would be perfect❤❤
Thank you so much Marty - that is such an American classic song. Like something that feels Hawaiian circa 1950's. Like on the beach etc.. in an old movie. What a beautiful song and gift you've given us to teach it. Gary Gentzel gcc
Hey now! Every single time I look up a song I wanna learn this guy knows it and has a lesson on it, I freaking love this guy! I have a blast learning from his videos, he also reminds me Alot of my dad😆 singing out the chord changes. It helped me Alot when I was beginner. This guy's a great guitar teacher ❤️
Thanks for this one, been one of my all time favorites since I was 4 and this lesson was much easier to fallow than other versions of this song that I have found online! Thanks, and keep the lessons coming!!!!!!!!!!
MARTY ! good one , you absolutely nail it once again ! just watchin Jeff Beck playin it with whammy , really great but slide gives it the authentic Santo & Johnny sound
Oh my gosh marty the first time i heard this tune was at the end of LaBamba and i absolutely fell in love with it. I imagine its going to be a difficult tune for me to learn but i can't wait to get my electric guitar and try to do it.
Synchronicity ! I've been recalling and working this one out on the acoustic with finger slides for the past three weeks. I'm working in D and your suggestion to use the minor 4th has spiced it up quite a bit. Now I suppose I should go and listen to the original before I continue.
Love this song it brings back horrific childhood memories of watching sleepwalkers, the Stephen king movie, with my mother and having nightmares for like a year after. I was like 6 when I saw the movie so...
Yeah, I first heard the song from the movie. Didn't even know the title - I just remember it's the tune Mama plays when she's horny & she gets to screwing her son - so HOT!!!
I figured out a tip with playing F chords. Play a C chord but have your middle, ring, and pink move to the strings below. Both E strings should be exposed and it'll technically be an F chord but with your index on the B string instead of a barre. After a while I kinda started practicing with the barred chord and it became easier and now I can play just about any barred chord.
Nice job, Marty. You might want to take a closer listen to the end of the bridge, because there is no Ab chord anywhere in this song. I think you'll find that instead the steel guitar plays G to Bb, back to G, while the rhythm guitar stays on G. Otherwise, a nice and accurate tutorial.
Great to see a tutorial on this beautiful song by Santo & Johnny ("Sleep Walk") with the correct chords! Kudos on that! ... Unfortunately, and I feel it's worth mentioning, there are some inaccuracies being done with the melody, here. Thusly, teaching bad habits to anyone utilizing this tutorial as a true representation. Just my two cents. Thank you for keeping this Soulful Music alive.
what a freaking beautiful taylor! is that one of the 800 series? that is THE most beautiful rosewood fingerboard i have ever seen........wow...good job by the way.
Marty your great man! your a huge inspiration to me! you have got me far from just being able to play smoke on the water. seriously. thank you so much man!!! :)
I had to find a how to play video after beefing my eyes out listening to this been played when Richie Valance is announced dead in LA Bamba . RIP Richie and good Tutoring Marti .
You gotta do save me by avenged sevenfold. Its a beautiful song and it really shows a lot of guitar elements within it. I think it would be a really nice song to cover
To end the bridge it's fun to make the G a G augmented on the last strum (G, B, D#) like an open F but starting on the A string 6th fret and pick each note upward. An old 50's/blues thing i.e. The A bros version of Stormy Monday
Hey Marty, you'll probably ignore this comment. But as a beginner, do you think you can make a more detailed lesson? It would mean the world to me dude. My grandpa use to listen to this song all the time before he passed away, and his birthday is coming up in July. This is why I wanted to reach out to you asking if you can make another tutorial, just a little more detailed. Thank you ~Sincerely Matthew.
Best lesson for this song ... Search raggy ragsdale ... His tone & chord structure are incredible ... Not a slide lesson , but boy can that old geezer play !!
I'm planning on buying a guitar, I have no experience whatsoever but I've always wanted to learn how to play guitar, sleep walk is definitely one of the first songs I want to learn how to play, do you recommend I start with an acoustic or electric?
its a open e tunning???i ordered a ps6 harminizer pedal and i have a digitech pedal ....i should be able to use ps6 to get open E right??hanks marty ..awsome teacher...

Do more classic slide songs like this and some delta blues slide stuff!
Last online 6 years ago
@@drafcula he has a new account now
Singing the chords outloud is a really good idea for me.
Well done!
Thank you so much Marty - that is such an American classic song. Like something that feels Hawaiian circa 1950's. Like on the beach etc.. in an old movie. What a beautiful song and gift you've given us to teach it. Gary Gentzel gcc
Best guitar lessons on youtube
lol, not even close, but for people who are starting out, Marty is the man
Sleepwalk, where no fretboard has gone before
K
Honestly though
A lot of songs with slide go off the fretboard actually
For example Layla, so basically slide songs
You should check out Jeff Beck's version
Thank you for every thing you do Marty! You've really helped me come a long way and I just wanted to express my gratitude so once again, thank you!
The fact that you have this song just made my day. You are great at what you do.
Omg, this is one of my greatest Melodie’s of all time, great job Marty!✌️
You are one of the very few to sing the melody along with the song....this really helps in learning the song.
I enjoy your videos. Good job!

It's always at the top of the list too
He really does. I love it.

Marty, you gotta make the one thousandth video a real classic!
One of my favorite songs to play. Great song. You can do many different things with it. Thanks for sharing this one with people Marty!!!
MARTY ! good one , you absolutely nail it once again ! just watchin Jeff Beck playin it with whammy , really great but slide gives it the authentic Santo & Johnny sound
Oh Marty , You've done it again :)
Brilliant can't wait to get home and try this
Your lyrics are great! This song always needed lyrics, just a nice old song about about chords! 🎶
Marty I just found this one and I love these old Americana songs. I also am a slide addict and really need to learn this one!!
Finally! I've been waiting for him to teach this song forever!
Oh my gosh marty the first time i heard this tune was at the end of LaBamba and i absolutely fell in love with it. I imagine its going to be a difficult tune for me to learn but i can't wait to get my electric guitar and try to do it.

Just when I thought you couldn't get much cooler - WHAP! - you hit us with Sleepwalk. Thnx for this, and keep it up!
I always wanted to play this song! Wow! Very cool, Marty! Thank you so much, I feel like I have almost come full circle!
Love this song it brings back horrific childhood memories of watching sleepwalkers, the Stephen king movie, with my mother and having nightmares for like a year after. I was like 6 when I saw the movie so...
Yeah, I first heard the song from the movie. Didn't even know the title - I just remember it's the tune Mama plays when she's horny & she gets to screwing her son - so HOT!!!
Great movie now that I'm older...
You are the best Marty love this song
was doing great until the F Minor chord. then i smashed my guitar up and threw my amp out of the window.
THE HELLYOU SAY !....////
I just play it as a power chord because I’m trash
thinner strings might help lol but hopefully by now you can do a f minor barre chord
My goodness!
I figured out a tip with playing F chords.
Play a C chord but have your middle, ring, and pink move to the strings below. Both E strings should be exposed and it'll technically be an F chord but with your index on the B string instead of a barre.
After a while I kinda started practicing with the barred chord and it became easier and now I can play just about any barred chord.
awesome! love this song and i love watching you play it. i suck with the slide but i will give it a shot as well. cheers marty!
This is a good one because you talk or sing out the chords and that really helps a lot!!!!!
Thanks Marty, I’m just getting around to this after a buddy did a standard tuned version for me last weekend, sans slide!
I saw some of those guitar slide bottles at Guitar Center, and didn't know I needed one until seeing this video.
What are they called?
Thanks so much Marty! I've been looking for a good lesson on this for awhile. Definitely the best one
I played this at my hamster's funeral.
I hope you're hamster is doing good in hanster heaven
*insert sad react
"Slide guitar - open E tuning - UHUHUHUHU"
Great Marty. You rock
Thank you so much! You're the only tutorial I could find that gives the chords!
Hi Marty, can you please do a tutorial for ''ABOUT TODAY'' from the national, it would be very nice !
This is my favorite instrumental of all time!
MARTYYYY!!! The man who taught most of us how to play guitar!

Modest Mouse's cover of this song is just fantastic

Not at all. Santo & Johnny.
Neydi Segura they’re referencing a movie scene, not saying that Ritchie made the song
I had to find a how to play video after beefing my eyes out listening to this been played when Richie Valance is announced dead in LA Bamba .
RIP Richie and good Tutoring Marti .
Excelent video! what is the tuning(afination)?
Thank you. If I can get this I'll be happy. Sentimental tune
Cool tutorial. I need to get a slide. Thanks.
You gotta do save me by avenged sevenfold. Its a beautiful song and it really shows a lot of guitar elements within it. I think it would be a really nice song to cover
Got lost halfway through. Is there a tab for this to follow along to? Really enjoyed this lesson.
such a beautiful and perfect song
thanks for the lesson, I was able to make a version! The slide part was especially helpful, going beyond the frets.
RICHIEEE!!
Simple and bluesy beautiful.
Wow that's a beautiful way to play that. I started on standard tuning
I see your going back to the oldies. Walk don't run has some great riffs in it. Ventures 1961 c youtube link bellow.
this is my favorite song how did i miss this tutorial? awesome
Awesome lesson for an awesome song!
Very nice Marty...Thanks so much!
Next video will be 1000th congratz man
great lesson!!!??how do i get that sound with a 10 watt amp? Thanks marty L.q from p.r
Marty that is so cool!!!
To end the bridge it's fun to make the G a G augmented on the last strum (G, B, D#) like an open F but starting on the A string 6th fret and pick each note upward. An old 50's/blues thing i.e. The A bros version of Stormy Monday
sounds like blue moon... anyway mr. marty could you please make a tutorial of saturday night by suede? thanks
Hey Marty, you'll probably ignore this comment. But as a beginner, do you think you can make a more detailed lesson? It would mean the world to me dude.

I love you man lol ive learned alot from you. keep up the good work.
Best lesson for this song ... Search raggy ragsdale ... His tone & chord structure are incredible ... Not a slide lesson , but boy can that old geezer play !!
6:44 "mmmkay" - south park
Didn’t expect to see your face on this lesson 😂👍good shit man
great video! But I have to say, for the song, IMO it sounds best on a Fender American Pro Stratocaster. But again, awesome vid!
I'm planning on buying a guitar, I have no experience whatsoever but I've always wanted to learn how to play guitar, sleep walk is definitely one of the first songs I want to learn how to play, do you recommend I start with an acoustic or electric?
Acoustic ;)
+Skillmatic whichever one you want to play the most.
Thank you so much, man. I really didn’t want to buy a slide guitar just to play this song, but I really want to play this song.
Chords are no problem, it’s the slide part.
I watched a video of Jeff beck playing this song and was inspired to learn it.
its a open e tunning???i ordered a ps6 harminizer pedal and i have a digitech pedal ....i should be able to use ps6 to get open E right??hanks marty ..awsome teacher...
its a drop pedal the digatech is
can u please put up a video on how to play devo un controlable urge i need to know how to play it by may 4 and u are the best person to teach me on you tube
Hey Marty, May I ask what model acoustic are you playing in this video, it sounds really great! Also, great lesson.
Cool lesson. Which type of Les Paul is he playing?
It's Traditional Les Paul
Your hats are awesome!
Is he using any effects for the slide guitar?
Marcos Pino probably a bit of gain
You could add a compressor pedal and some light drive to even out the sustain. Common tactic with slide.
Which scale is used in this song? The melody contains Ab, Eb so it is more than the C major scale.
I really love this song! Thank you so much!!
Can I attempt this without a slide?
I've read on some forums that the steel guitar has alternate tuning to play with slide
Where can I find the A Flat Major version? (I'm not even sure if the original was A Flat Major)
