I lost my son in 2017 at the age of 15, he was a musical genius, at 15 he was on stage playing jams from Led Zepellin, Pink Floyd, Beatles, Hendrix, and so many others and was making his own music in his room, I was amazed at his talent. Today 12/28/2020 I picked up one of his old traveler acoustic Yamaha Jrs for the first time and got on TH-cam and found you! I love this song it hits home. I never thought I could learn how to play it. I'm currently learning how to play it thanks to you, and for that I'm so grateful. This is how I will keep my son's memory alive and will always maintain that connection with my boy. I wish you were here son!
That’s amazing man he’s jamming out beside you right now. Good luck!
hes flowing through you bro
Charlie, I too lost my son. He took his own life during a difficult breakup. He was not a musician but he loved music. When I play Foreigner or Floyd music he is with me digging it. Keep that connection Charlie , keep playing the songs he loved! And thank you Marty! U are an excellent axe teacher!
God Bless you, brother.
My condolences sir
Can we all appreciate the fact that marty still likes comments from a video he made about three years ago? Fucking Legend!
I’ve done it before AND I’LL DO IT AGAIN
@@MartyMusic Absolute madlad
Markus Kuhness was looking at his fingers bla
This is the guy who stuck with music while we all sold out to the 9-5. Thanks for sticking it out, Marty, and sharing with us!!!
what? do you think he died or something?
I was an old, disabled man, with a 50 year old EROS acoustic with nothing of meaning to look forward to. I am now an old, disabled man playing "Wish You Were Here" in my kitchen each day. Thank you Marty for giving me hope. Don`t really know what a like is, but I have been told it`s good. Can you give me one please xxx
lol
Never in a million years would I have thought me capable of playing this song. Thank You Marty!!!
You did it! Thanks for the continued support!
You severely underestimate a million years my dude
@@arvindchoudhary7880 man this was one of the first things i learned. took weeks to get the notes in this solo down. re-learn it again all these years later and the slides, bends & vibrato come almost natural now. Great work
Fr man, this guy is a great teacher
Same lol
This was my dad’s favorite song. He’s been gone 4 years. He would be so proud to hear me play it. Thanks for the lesson.
He'll tell you things like "its not too difficult" "we'll have fun doing this", but if you go to other teachers on youtube you'll find'em telling you how technical and tricky the same exact song is.
Motivation is what makes marty unique, He'll push you to believe in yourself, thats what makes him one of the most successful teachers.
I owe this to him. He taught me alot. Still.
I think it just depends. If you want to hit all the same notes and samish rhythm it’s not too bad. However, if you wanna play it just like Pink Floyd it’s a bit harder.
I bought an acoustic guitar a couple of months ago because I really wanted to learn Dust in the Wind properly. That's the first video I saw of him and I'm really enjoying falling in love with guitar again. (I play electric as well, I just didn't have an acoustic)
Dude you are seriously the BEST teacher on the net! Super grateful for all you do!
Thanks so much!
I second this! between you and justinguitar I have manged to play these at tempo + a few other songs since late december when i started! Truly grateful!
Anthony Rolfes aazO J ,
Anthony Rolfes agreed 😇
3.37 he's at it again lol

LOL :-))
This is the first song you ever taught me Marty. Thank you.
When life beats me like Joe Pesci with an aluminium bat, I wrap my arms around my guitar and play till things don't hurt so much. I can't afford therapy but, as long as I have my guitar, I'll have a place to heal.
Hope the tough times pass Em. Keep jamming
Giving you a big, warm, virtual embrace Em
Right there with you Em. Rock on!
Me and you both my friend. I escape to my guitar also
I read “wife” at first and got very concerned.
Ad: “You can’t learn guitar using TH-cam.”
Marty: 1:45
Lol
Lol 😂
right! lmao
Nice one
You probably have to have a rudimentary clue to begin with but it's great that these guys show you how to play things , would be a better player if utubers were around when i was younger
Marty Schwartz, you are absolutely the very best guitar guru instructor on the Internet. You simplify and break down. the most complex and difficult guitar arrangements. Into a "can do" practical format. I am playing unbelievable guitar because of you. You are helping so many people. By helping us to fulfill our passion in playing guitar. Thanks a million.....
I agree 100%.
I third that. He is #uno
Well put! Wish I could've said that.
I'm a 58 year old man who just started playing guitar. You made learning this song so easy. I can't thank you enough you are the man 👍
I'm literally making my mom cry learning this song thank you so much
I´m actually learning this for my moms birthday. :D
Noah Fielder omg that is so sweet
damn do you play that bad?
You need to practice more then.
Yous buncha titty babies need to move out of moms basement.
First song I ever learned to play, and later sing/play simultaneously. It changed my life.
Seriously beginner (one month), practicing on an electric, first part, ok, tricky but doable.
Second part, after 5 mins, PAIN !!!, I'll just put my fingers in ice for the rest of the evening.
All jokes aside, Thank you for your work, really appreciate it.
@Lucas Dalton Gotta have fun as well. Working on a song while learning rhythm and theory is best practice IMO, but we all learn differently.
im in pain too and i also am very grateful.
I started two days ago... Watching this part at work after practicing the first at home
@@alixwritesstuff have a cigar you gonna go far
My acoustic's action has become too high. Time to sell it and get a new one :/
Marty, I haven't picked up my guitar for 20 years, I learned how 51 years ago. You have really helped me freshen up and learn new things. Thank You!
51 likes for 51 years

thank you so much Marty... can't express how good it feels to play this...
Thanks Luigi!
Love playing this song now.
Thanks Marty!
Played this song for so long without the music, never realizing I was way off!!
I've followed you for years and years and I just realized that I've never taken the time to thank you for all you taught me. My apologies, your the best!!!
Thanks so much
Gotta say it...at 57 I am an intermediate (at best) guitar noodler like many out there. I'm not looking to exactly replicate what these axe-masters perform, I just want to be able to play the songs around the proverbial campfire and sound decent. I have dabbled into many tutorial pages on TH-cam and you, sir, are by far the most understandable and easiest to follow. You teach a perfect medium between being too simplified and overly intricate. Kudos, and thank you a million times over!
I am no longer sure at this point anyone can call themselves self-taught when Marty makes these precious lessons one click away. Marty, you are a legend. Thank you.
I turned 45 1.5 weeks ago and got a new electric. I'm learning this on my 7th day of guitar.... it's one of my favorite songs!
“We’re gonna use the middle finger 🖕” 😂

I'm 39 and have always wanted to play this song. It's taken a week of repartition and work but i've got it. I need to work on my slides but i'm happy that i can at least play it slowly. You don't know what it means Marty, so thank you mate.
i had a guitar teacher he always gave me the most boring songs to learn on acoustic , he wasn't great. Then i left that teacher and found Marty Schwartz , and man you changed my life , you are the reason i play these songs and im in love with these songs , now im plannin to buy an electric guitar!!! Thank you Marty , you are my best teacher I've never met!!!
I would say you teacher is doing the right things..Actually he is teaching you the backbone to build the other songs easily with those boring songs. Even in piano true stuffs are most of the time boring. Some can’t come over boring stuff but some does, so they become great musicians
2 boys out of high school, my daughter just a few more years, after 20+ years getting time back for myself, used you to learn songs when kids were young vto soothe them, now all these years later im back learning: how to weld, read hieroglyphics and play songs that i want to learn. Your one of the trifecta of teachers that make me yearn for retirement when i can do my passions all day... thank you Marty "Music"
After a month’s work, I finally mastered it 🙏
Right before 12:00 when you very slowly play through it all, that is PERFECT for helping us put it all together and burn it in for good! Thank you so much for practicing that kind of patience.
I'm 3 months into the guitar and now starting to attack this song... Marty taught me everything I know!! 100% self taught through youtube!!
Going through a rough patch lately so I decided to pick up the guitar about 5 months ago.
Not knowing how to play a single chord I come to YT and find Martymusic. After going through the chord lessons to learning my first song “Knockin on heavens door”
I’m now finally able to play this.
When I first started and learnt the easy part I thought wow can’t wait to learn the rest, clicked on this and got intimidated and quickly clicked away😂
But after learning many songs and techniques all thanks to the great Marty music I came back to try my luck and when I finally got it I may have let a few tears of joy come out.
Thank you very much Marty, I’ve always wanted to play guitar and to be able to play so many songs I love is a privilege. Much love ❤️
Thank you Sir! Haven’t seen better tutorials! Many repeat, very slow and I won‘t get lost! 😊
Hands down the best guitar teacher on the internet. Thanks Marty for all that you do 👏🏽
Perfect timing and pace, you always reprise just at the best moment, you always introduce a new brief element to draw the learner on at the right stage. Really an excellent teacher thanks! And its fun!
Marty! I love this. I really like how you go slow so people like me can follow. So many people go too fast and don't explain well enough. I'm going to keep following you.
I recently started playing again after I retired a few years ago. We were packing to move and my lovely wife asked me to rid myself of my 2 guitars.... I never played my Fender Strat '94 made in America and my Yamaha FG. Well I told her I might start again and I did. Sore fingers all of the time, but I'm working on it.
thanks again.. Signed on my way back...
It's 2025 Marty, and I'm here to let you know, you're still helping people like me today learn stuff. I've made a lot of progression with this song in the last few days due to your other video of the basic chords of the song. I'm now here on this part lol thanks Marty!! We all appreciate you and your time!
12 years ago Marty taught me the first song I ever learned to play all the way through on guitar: Under the Bridge. A song no beginner has any business trying to play. Only Marty can make that happen. Thanks man. I’ve been coming back to your videos countless times over the years. I’m forever indebted to you my friend.
I wanna learn this whole song so I can play it for my grandpa, who has passed away unfortunately, I wanna play it for him to say how I wish he was here.
Marty, thanks a zillion - no, make that a squillion - for making this channel. I’m a 54yr old beginner, and so far can play Blackbird, Rocketman, and this (almost - slowly will do for now), thanks to you. Great teaching skills Marty - I can’t help saying “let’s break this down and zoom in” at every opportunity! 😆
I’m pretty much a beginner on guitar, although I’m playing drums for about 10 years now and know some music theory stuff. I gotta say I’m incredibly thankful for this, it really helps and I’m especially happy because I can practice playing the guitar with my favourite band. Thanks a lot & greetings from Germany
That's awesome!
@@MartyMusic I love how you still keep up the replies on new comments from a vid 6 years ago lol. Love ur vids btw I'm 12 and doing my grade 5. I learned this for an acoustic event and it's such I beautiful song. Keep going with the vids I love them and I learn like 90 percent of the songs I know from you.
Marty your understanding of how to teach and construct knowledge in a learner is phenomenal. Piaget would blush.
Marty you have changed my entire life and you have no idea. You truly are someone I enjoy being in the presence of, feels like you're teaching me individually.
You now actually have me happily playing stuff I'd have NEVER listened to back in the day... ya freakin' evil genius!
As usual, all the very best my friend!
all my best Carlos! Thanks for the continued support my man!
you are the best teacher for the millionth time.
wow. a channel that actually taught me something. good job amigo
Very kind of you to comment Brandon! I really appreciate you supporting my new platform "MartyMusic"
Hey man thank you very much for teaching our derams, cause I've always wanted to be able to play this kind of classics and you made it come true
Thanks a lot . after 1 week watching this intro and solo lesson . from 0 (can't play guiitar) , now finally i can play this beautiful song . you're the best teacher sir . greetings from Indonesia
I decided that as a 26 year old I needed a new hobby, so I picked up a guitar. I have absolutely no previous musical skill aside from the triangle I played in 4th grade and these videos make it beyond easy to learn. Marty is by far my favorite TH-cam guitar teacher!
Same....except I'm 53 haha
Im finally able to play a good bit of this. Ive been playing for 7 months now and really wish my adhd would have allowed me to focus and learn alot earlier. I love rythem, lead, bass. I just love being able.
Hey Marty! Welcome back can't tell you how glad I am that you are giving lesson's again. I love this lesson b/c you can play the song and also add a solo, just makes the song more complete and goes beyond "camp fire". Would love for you to do this for more of your more popular songs (add a solo lesson). Thanks again for what you do!!!!
Marty, you rock man! You’re videos are very well put together and easy to follow, and they have helped me a ton! Thank you, keep up the great work!
Hey Marty, just want to say how awesome you are. You taught me the super Mario theme and that was my first song. Now I’m trying to learn this, as disabled vet at only 30 you’ve helped renew my life and give me another reason. Thank you.
the fact that i’d never picked up a guitar before and now, after 4 days, i can play the first half of the video is just amazing to me. i never thought that someone could make it so easy. thank you so much, you’re amazing
When you said to use your middle finger and stuck it up... That was awesome. You're awesome. Thank you for the awesome tutorial!
ha well I appreciate your supporting me here at my new thing MartyMusic Nyan!!!
Спасибо! Отличный разбор. Не пришлось перематывать, все по несколько раз повторяется и достаточно медленно и понятно - это очень круто!
It took me only 30 minutes to play the solo almost clean, really impressed with the teaching style and I’m going to practice more to perfect it
Over quarantine I am chugging my way through this song, I've learnt 3 quarters and I'm on the last leg now just trying to get all the tricky bends fluidly. Its really hard but I would never have been able to do it without this video.
After struggling all week to even get to the end of the video, your "thanks for hanging out with me" makes getting here that much better. Its given me the will to keep going. Thanks Marty!
Best guitar teacher on TH-cam!
Thanks so much Cam! I really appreciate your kindness! Thanks for supporting "MartyMusic" my friend!
Marty Music All my guitar mates like you best, Including me:) A mate was learning stairway to heaven, and i said "watch Marty, i learned it from him" and he replied "who do you think i'm watching?" You are so good at explaining things:) I'm putting in a request for Homeless by Ed Sheeran. I can't find any tutorials for it, and the tabs dont fit with his live performance, so i am kind of stuck. Meanwhile i'll keep learning this lovely solo:) Sending luck from Norway:)
Welcome back Marty! Good to see you again.
Thanks! I'm very grateful to have supporters like you!
Marty Music your awesome

I’ve went from a beginner giving up guitar to mastering this solo, thanks to you Marty 🙏
This is one of my favourite songs of all time. Always makes me think about my loved ones I have lost along the way. I am a rookie guitar player in my first week playing and am struggling to learn this solo but I will get it. Thank you for making things easy Marty!
Marty, I've watched so many TH-camrs teaching songs and your explanations are by far the clearest to follow.
Big Love Marty 👊. This lesson got me past some stumbling blocks and maybe even some confidence questions.. thank you for what you do. 🙏
my fingers are bleeding, my veins are popping out, I broke two strings and I want to kill somebody. Welcome to the life of a self taught guitarist.
no thats just u, ive been playintg self taught for 10 months and i know eruption and music theory
@@dakotaashe3184 lol same!
Astern learning guitar online is easy the only hard part is finding decent lessons
You need just a little patience.. everythings gonna be alright
My fingers are blistering and torn apart, only been playing for a month
You are still the best teacher teaching David Gilmour's licks. I will be grateful if you will do the lesson on High Hopes acoustic outtro solo.
I'm 70 years old I've been playing guitar for over 50 years but never really learned it, which is to say I taught myself chord shapes and practiced moving my fingers and strumming patterns without knowing notes or scales or any music theory. Recently I've decided to learn the fret board and how to connect the dots, if you'll pardon the pun. Finding your videos has REALLY helped me on my journey. Thank you!
Thank you this lesson was very
helpful🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
I've finally got it down!!! Thanks so much marty, you're the best teacher on youtube!!!
Thanks for the support Travis!!! All my best!
Thanks for putting this up, i appreciate all the work you put in, my guitar teacher has taught me the song but not this solo. Hopefully i can surprise him with this ha.
Thank you very much Kristian!!!
Thank you so much marty! Could you please do a video where you explain the outro solo of the song?
Of all the lessons for this classic solo this has to be the best.. Marty always simplifies it so well and goes over the same sections plenty of times n slows it down which always helps. Nice 1 Marty 👍
Marty, I learned this solo in 2017 when I moved away from my home and was battling drug abuse in my hometown. I appreciate you putting this up and changing my life! Much respect
I’ve pretty much memorized this video
I don’t even have the guitar yet it’s coming Christmas lol
gamingfarmer767 good luck with it bro
Your videos inspired me to play guitar. I'm not so bad either lol(:
Thanks a lot :) i impressed my crush :D
That's what it's all about Vaseline Tunev!
That's why I'm here for an excellent guitarist to try and impress 😅😅😅wish me luck 👍👍👍
traytronic ill wish you were here *epicly plays newly learnt solo*
The real question
Dude even as a lefty it was super easy to follow along. I learned the solo in about 2 hrs of practice. Thank you for posting this. Love the Floyd and now I can play it!
The intro eas one of the first things I learnt on guitar when i started a year ago. Now I'm back a year later to take on the solo. Amazing how the once impossible now seems possible for me! Trying a bit each day and getting there. Thanks Marty ❤
I just starting to play guitar. Thanks for posting. Could use more cowbell though
Any tipps for the sliding part at 1:45, it doesen´t sound the same when i do it?
Edit: I´ve got it now, i slid down only one fret instead of two, maybe it helps someone making the same stupid mistake :)
Practice, practice, practice. Took me awhile to get it too.
I have a classical guitar and it think thag makes it harder to learn but i dont know
3:36 best part :D
Ive been trying to learn this song for years. Ive made it about halfway through this video. ive only played my guitar sporadically but I started being consistent 30-45 min of practice a couple times a week. At first I could barely finger the strings without framming them but my fingers are getting stronger and i can tell im getting closer . Thanks marty for always being there !
To me Marty Schwtartz is the best possible guitar tutor. He concentrates on the essence of the songs, so that it´s easy to understand and play! I really enjoy his way to present his lessons. It`s great fun - even if you just watch for pleasure. Keep on rocking!
0:46 favorite part hahah
Pause it at 1:46
im extremely confused about the bend in the second half
katie dice yep me too. I dont get it
It's the notes in between. You want it to flow, and you miss those. I'm having the same issue.
It legit took me a year to nail this granted I didn’t practice daily. Hopefully by this point you got it too it’s beautiful
Yeah I’m confused about the change from intro to singing part.
Bend on third string on fifth fret and pull of on 3rd fret
Im pretty young and always heard this song play when i was younger , never thought id be able to play one of my favorite songs on my guitar with barely a month of experience. Thanks marty 🙏
71 years old; deaf (hearing aids and implant) arthritis and no rhythm, yet Marty has playing this solo! Great lesson by a great teacher 👍
U or him?
11:30 dont mind me just leaving myself a timestamp to get back to
Somehow, I broke my high E string in the process of learning this.
1:45 *casually flips you off*
By far the best lesson I've had on TH-cam thus far. I've had hours of fun and feeling excited that I've finally learnt a classic I love and can play with a sense of achievement - thanks to you Marty. Cheers!
Marty, I cant thank u enough for putting all this wonderful free teaching out there, because of u i finally picked up the guitar 5 month ago and cant put it down and managed to put in 600+ hrs in 5 month and even played on stage at a new years eve party wowwwww !!!loving every second of it. Your half the reason i am where i am and the other half is a major passion and drive to play guitar. We r so lucky to live in a world where its all at our fingertips because of people like Marty and some others. Cant thank u enough and keep up the good work and know that u have turned thousands of non guitar players in to professional guitar players. Wow Rock On !!!! (If there was a heaven u got a spot there but hey if not then this is heaven for u)
Hi Marty, thanks for sharing this great solo. Is there a tab I can look at please as I've nailed the 1st part but then kinda get lost on the 2nd part thanks.
mike hussey Watch carefully
Struggling with accuracy on those slides.
For the first slide on B and E use the middle finger and the ring finger and for the second slide on B and G (you could either use the same fingers or) the index finger and the ring finger.
me too !
try putting your thumb where you wanna slide at
If you look at where you want to slide and then slide there you'll hit it every time. I learned that from Scott's Bass Lessons on TH-cam.
Doug Hankins thank you omg
No one gonna talk about how he just flipped off everyone watching 🤣
I know right 🖕 😅😅😅😅😅😅
IM A LONG TIME PLAYER YOUR THE BEST ON THE INTERNET. YOUR A GREAT PLAYER,TEACHER,AND NO FRILLS RIGHT TO THE POINT. JUST WANT TO THANK YOU SIR. 😊
Ha!
At least this time i got to the end.
Played the hole thing, far form average, but i am getting there.
Who says you can’t learn guitar using TH-cam? 1:45
i still am stuck on the pull off😥
Same. Any progress yet? :D
59 years old,starting to learn guitar and this is my first song! THANK you Marty!
Whoever gave u thumbs down on this lesson, needs brain surgery desperately.
You could say, they have brain damage
Do you still check these comments? Have you ever done a video for David Gilmour's solo? The second solo. Not many people have done tutorials for that portion of the song.
