This was my uncles favorite song. We lost him to suicide about 10 years ago, but it still hurts. This song always seems to play when my family is hurting the most or need help. He is always helping us out in heaven. Marty, this couldn’t have come at a better time. Thank you🙏
Unreal tuning. I’ve messed around with alternative tunings but this one from Johnny wins the prize for craziest tuning to write the best song. We actually toured with the Goos in 1999 (Fastball opened) and they were playing this song because it had just come out. Magic every night
I've only been playing for six months and it just really astounds me how musicians develop this intuitive sense for music. John presumably just sat down one day and was like "You know what would sound good? Every string tuned to D except for the low E string which obviously should be tuned to B1."
can’t wait to try this tomorrow, this is one of my favourite songs. usually i bounce around between learning songs bc of my ridiculously short attention span but i’m gonna make myself master this song, even if it takes me ages 🤣

@@jaredbrown8998 can you please explain this? I understand you're referring to the string and tuning but whats the numbers for? String gauge? And the medium/light/heavy?
You were instrumental in me teaching myself to play more than 10 years ago now. Always a pleasure to look up a tutorial and see you pop hop. Thank you for being there for us all through the years ❤️
Marty, when you moved onto mostly teaching songs, I was kinda disappointed that there won't be as much technique and other nerdy content. But recently I found that this is really gold! Learning songs of all levels, it expands the technical AND musical knowledge. Really cool what you're doing here!
Dear Marty, I hope you know that as a teen growing up, I would eventually discover guitar, and you have been one of my go to guys for almost any song. When I flex on being able to play "Iris", or any of Weezer's songs. I can proudly say I am a professional, all thanks to you of course, but my friends can never know that I literally learned from TH-cam, because then I would become a clown. A clown who relies on his local TH-cam guitarist Marty, but thanks for all your support and unique personality that you provided us Gen Z guitar idiots, Thank you, Marty.
Used to watch Marty all the time when i was starting out guitar (13 years old and I'm now 23). Can say I also now make my own music and have professional musician degree! So cool to have him pop up on my recommended videos!! Looking good!
Marty my friend....the true G.O.A.T of this here thing...been a sub for a long time...enjoyed seeing you and your awesome band play at the iridium here in NYC, twice....looking for a 3rd time in the near future...hope all is well with you and your Family.....🙏🏻
Hey Marty, I'm a long time fan, absolutely refer u to everyone learning guitar... My buddy ("grant"), the guy who taught me guitar, recently fell off a 5 story building in NY, he claims the guitar in his hand broke his fall (it's now broken tho). He's doing alright but has alot of broken bones. I'm trying to cheer him up... Do u think u could send me a quick video of u doing the ol Marty Schwartz "heeey what's up guys... hope u do better grant" it would really mean alot... I can send some money over too let me know. Thanks so much, sorry for bothering u
5 stories and lived!? Wow thats incredible. You should maybe try contacting marty personally or donate a superchat on his live streams. Im pretty sure he will give a shout out. He acknowledges almost all (if not all) the superchats he gets during his live streams. Thats your best bet. Good luck to you both.
Have been learning this song the last few days. Proud of myself for finally figuring out most of the strumming. Have felt discouraged a few times, but keep trying everyday and getting better and closer each day. Thanks, Marty!
Marty I don’t think I have ever thanked you, but thank you for teaching me how to play. I started watching your videos 10 years or more ago from your first channel guitar jams. By learning from you I was able to sing my wife’s favourite song to her as our proposal 5 years ago and recently due to COVID-19 I have picked up the guitar again and whenever I’m stuck on something I come running straight back to you. So thank you for everything and just know you changed my life
just want to thank you as iv never left a comment, you are amazing what you do i have used your videos so much in ten years and now my son is too! thank you
Been following you and learning how to play a lot of guitar songs for the past 3 years. It’s always nice to come back to these and see how much he’s changed. Love you marty
Hey there, Marty. I just wanted to thank you for being instrumental (no pun intended) on my guitar playing. First time I learned from you was 21 Guns by Green Day. It has been a looooooooong time ago! Thank you for being a part of my journey on learning a guitar. ☺
Thanks Marty, learned guitar almost exclusively from your tutorials starting in February, thanks for your hard work teaching. Gonna learn this one now 👍🏻
Great instruction. I played around with this tuning and I tuned everything to D. Yes, every string a D. So when playing the verse which is the E string open, 3rd fret, 5th Fret, Open, 10 feet, 8th fret, if all strings are tuned to D, play the verse on the A string as Open, 2nd fret, 5th, 9th, 7th and back to 5th fret. Repeat for verse. I did this cause the E tuned down to a B was way too low for my singer so we just changed it this way.
❤ Marty, Thanks for this! This song might be the perfect song for any beginner simply due to the movement up and down the fretboard alone. That little pinky up on the 11th fret is tricky as well to keep in time. Exercise download complete 😂 Thanks again, Marty
Heeey Marty! I’m scrolling through TH-cam and see this new video and then just below I see another of you (guitarjamzdotcom) from 11 years ago! Thank you for all the great years of guitar lessons. I’ve been learning from you since the early days and still learning. You rock hard bro
thank you marty you really basically taught me to play guitar. whenever u want to learn a song i always come to your channel. keep up the great videos!
Marty, you are the best! Thanks so much. Teaching this today to my guitar class, but had to take your tutorial first just to make sure I've got it right!! Merry Christmas and thanks for keeping it going during these times!
Love you Marty!! I LOVE this song. Its ambitious for me as a beginner but when I got the first little bit sounding like the song I started crying a bit. Happy cry. Lol
There are so many songs I want to learn but they're all electric guitar. But if you ever get time, CKY is one of my fav bands it would be cool to learn one of their tunes on acoustic. Attached at the hip is one of my fav songs.
Thank you again Marty your videos and teachings make the world such a better place. Over the years I have learned so much from you and I am eternally grateful. Jim
E - 59 - Heavy - Tune down to B

Omg thanks a lot
This man needs some extra love cause i could not have done this without ❤❤❤❤
Thankyou so much man I was so confused
will this work with guitartuna?
@@okzas8925 yeah why wouldn’t it
This was my uncles favorite song. We lost him to suicide about 10 years ago, but it still hurts. This song always seems to play when my family is hurting the most or need help. He is always helping us out in heaven. Marty, this couldn’t have come at a better time. Thank you🙏
Kahooked On Jesus this song reminds me of my son also that passed in 2003...and it always seems to play when I need it most
Sorry for your loss :(
RIP
im so sorry for ur loss
He’s with you any time this song plays ❤
Marty been putting out real bangers recently
For real
Yea like wow my man
Right lol
i agree
Absolutely
Unreal tuning. I’ve messed around with alternative tunings but this one from Johnny wins the prize for craziest tuning to write the best song. We actually toured with the Goos in 1999 (Fastball opened) and they were playing this song because it had just come out. Magic every night
I listen to this song and just think of the good ol days and remember "someday.....when my life has passed me by....."
Cool. You opened so they knew “the way” to play the crowd ;-)
C Burkens radness.. yeah that was a fun tour.. one of the best we ever did
Arnoud van den Heuvel yes they did
Tuning that A string to D scares me, so much tension ready to snap and take out my eye at any moment.
I've only been playing for six months and it just really astounds me how musicians develop this intuitive sense for music.
John presumably just sat down one day and was like "You know what would sound good? Every string tuned to D except for the low E string which obviously should be tuned to B1."
He actually broke 2 strings on the guitar, then improvised. ✌🏻
for all the people who are lost. E goes down to B, A goes down to D, D stays D, G goes down to D, B goes UP to D, High E goes down to D.
How do you know that id you're a beginner. I have a tuner but it dont show me the letter to know if im at the right tune
@@elyacaphyisrael2108 look for the app "ultimate Tuner" 👌 its free and it will sort your tuning issue brother
Hero!
@@elyacaphyisrael2108 "fender tuner" is free and it's super easy
Thanks
This tuning looks like my report cards growing up.
I literally LOLed when I read that. I think it’s import to make the LLOL distinction when valid.
That comment wins the internet
😂😂
Damn the second I saw this I knew it wasn't gonna be standard tuning LMAO
@@JavierRamirez-dx7lw I literally said the same thing too 😭😭😂😂 I was like no way in hell this is standard
Thanks!
can’t wait to try this tomorrow, this is one of my favourite songs. usually i bounce around between learning songs bc of my ridiculously short attention span but i’m gonna make myself master this song, even if it takes me ages 🤣
I might buy a guitar to keep in BDDDDD tuning only to play this song.
get a tuner and get used to changing it ... i can switch now in under a few mins with the right electric tuner
@@ahhhhyes Maybe he is also joking and you didn't get it. 🤔
I spent a little time thinking about how to make it sounds nice. So i was thinking about using proper gauged strings for the tuning
E - 59 - Heavy - Tune down to B
A - 56 - Medium - Tune down to D
D - 35 - Medium - Standard D
G - 32 - Light - Tune down to D
B - 13 - Medium - Tune up to D
e - 12- Light - Tune down to D
@@jaredbrown8998 can you please explain this? I understand you're referring to the string and tuning but whats the numbers for? String gauge? And the medium/light/heavy?
Don't need a G string for this song, neither will your girlfriend when you nail it
Lol
My god, here take some cake mate
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
🤣🤣
You sir... win the internet. hahaha
You taught me how to play and now you're teaching my younger brother ♥️ love you man keep it up
That's awesome!
Marty is the banger himself 😤🔥
Cheese
A beautiful song that means a lot to me growing up. Cheers man, truly appreciate the lesson!
You were instrumental in me teaching myself to play more than 10 years ago now. Always a pleasure to look up a tutorial and see you pop hop. Thank you for being there for us all through the years ❤️
You are an excellent teacher!!! the best tutorial for this music i have found in YT!!👏👏👏

I haven’t played for awhile.

I know that It doesn't mean much from me but I hope he feels better
Have been learning this song the last few days. Proud of myself for finally figuring out most of the strumming. Have felt discouraged a few times, but keep trying everyday and getting better and closer each day. Thanks, Marty!
what did you do for the strumming pattern?
i’m not taking the piss, i was literally looking at lesson this morning.
I woke up this morning and didn't take my piss yet ... To comfortable in bed 🛌🙂
billy cashmore as was i
how to retune???
Same dude ahahah
Your one of the Best Marty!!!

Every time I’m about to learn a song on my own, Marty makes a tutorial for it within 2 days lmao
If you can learn a song on your own do it. You'll get much more out of it
You should do some more underground nirvana stuff next, like sappy, old age, marigold
Every single time I want to learn a song I pray Marty has a video for it
You doing Dr Evil in the thumbnail all while pointing at your iris. Talent.
I think he's crying because the song is sad
You're awesome Marty! You're singing where on the frets we should go, you're a great teacher indeed!
Fantastic of you doing all of these lessons for free🙏🏻
Yes One of the best songs that the 90's gave us.. Thank you and keep em coming Marty!
I love this song. When I looked it up to learn it and I saw you had a video on it, I literally yelled “YES!!!”
I cant wait to see the Goo Goo Dolls in August this year😭💜I really hope their tour doesnt get cancelled like Green Day's did :/
I feel you, I had 3 concerts cancelled
Sorry to hear that. There’s no way they are going to risk people’s life so it’s 99.9%sure they will cancel
Wow I’ve been looking for a decent tutorial for iris for absolutely ages
omg i love the thumbnail
See's the notification, thinks awesome!! Hears about what tuning is needed and starts pricing up a new guitar!
Damn tuning....
You learned me play so many songs. Thankyou man
Marty the J45 sounds awesome....maan what a guitar😳 it’s the king of acoustics!
Marty you are a king!
This is so good I even cried Thanks Marty love this
This means a lot to me ❤️ 😊
I played guitar 4years because of you Thanks a lot .Marty
Thanks for the content! Been watching your videos religiously since quarantine started- thanks for the help
We're getting some classics recently and i love it🔥
Well Marty, my g string suffered it’s life attempting the tuning
I wish I read the comments before , rip my g string also just now
@@callumbled same my G string snapped
haha i was searching for this comment
I got on just fine
Yup my g string snapped to😂
The quarantine has Marty bringing out all the good songs lately!
Love this song! Thanks Marty you are awesome!
I am a professional musician and I really appreciate the job you are doing.
Thank you it helps me a lot
I love how the instrumental is super emo sounding! 🤘
MY MAN MARTY GETTING THINGS UPLOADED JUST WHEN I NEED THEM
i was just watching your old tutorial of this yesterday afternoon! what a great song
Thanks Marty, learned guitar almost exclusively from your tutorials starting in February, thanks for your hard work teaching. Gonna learn this one now 👍🏻
This guy is like the best guitar youtuber ever
Great instruction. I played around with this tuning and I tuned everything to D. Yes, every string a D. So when playing the verse which is the E string open, 3rd fret, 5th Fret, Open, 10 feet, 8th fret, if all strings are tuned to D, play the verse on the A string as Open, 2nd fret, 5th, 9th, 7th and back to 5th fret. Repeat for verse. I did this cause the E tuned down to a B was way too low for my singer so we just changed it this way.
Thank you! You made it easy to learn. 😊
Marty you're on a roll with the songs. GVF too!
you're my fav guitar teacher
broke a string trying to get it to this tuning, can’t learn the song now 🕺🏻
thats the mopst beautifuil thing I've heard this year
I remember back in 2010 I saw Marty videos when I was learning to play guitar, always excellent quality for the time!
Marty the man
Im always impressed with your skill. Ty Marty
Thank you for teaching this in the correct tuning. ✌🏼🎸🎶🖤🖤🖤🖤
Hey Marty, great lesson as always! I hope you and your family are staying safe out there. Look forward to seeing back in New York some day! Cheers...

Thank you Marty! Now I can play one of the greatest songs ever composed! 🙂
You are a beauty Marty. Thanks for all you do.
This song is a real banger on guitar damn

Learned too play guitar off these vids years ago great teacher keep doing what u do Marty 👍
This tuning! Just had a deja vu of my grades last year
Marty should do the Stairway solo. He did most of the song, and I think I speak for a lot of people when I say I want the solo.
thank you marty you really basically taught me to play guitar. whenever u want to learn a song i always come to your channel. keep up the great videos!

Bring this to the top.
Hey Marty, Thank your for the Iris guitar lesson. Appreciated. This is one of my favorite Goo Goo Dolls songs.
Literally was just looking at tutorials last night and am currently trying to tune my guitar for it and I see this video he uploaded 4 hours ago 😂
