    Thank you Marty! And rip Ric Ocasek!
    I.m.o...The Cars! No one ever covers thier music because it was and is so unique, the vocals, the keyboards, guitar effects , etc. Tough to do and sound as good as they do. I grew up listening to the Cars loved them in 1979, and still do. The passing of Ric has made for a sad past few days, but hearing his music being played all day long brings back great memories, like in 79 when The Cars came to Vancouver bc, and my 7 friends and i wernt to go see them. The funny thing was my best friend was now with my ex. When the Cars played my best friends girl, my buddy frank sitting next to me, said you gonna go hit him. I said no he can have her. I just sat back and enjoyed the concert. They never lasted.

    You're another guy I've followed for years and years without subscribing.

    So thankyou brother from me everyone else and the Universe for all you do and of course...

    Any time I have a problem figuring out a song... I come to your site Marty. I've checked out others however, I appreciate how you take the time and I'm able to pause your video's while I practice what I've just learned. I'm not a beginner, I've been playing for 55 years however, plateaus that I've hit over the years would curb my enthusiasm and I've actually gone years with only picking up my guitars about once every 6 months. Thanks to your page, I've found renewed interest, play daily and am surprised how quickly I am now picking up songs that I loved in the 70's and 80's but never attempted to play. I do get stumped occasionally on a chord however, a few minutes here and I'm off and running. I've even learned some songs from you that I really enjoyed but never attempted, such as Zeppelins "Rain Song!" Thanks again Marty and never stop... you are my Go to guy when I need help with a song! Good on you Bro!

    Love your channel Marty. This is one of my all time favorite tunes and (even though I regularly played ‘my version’ of it at gigs) it really took me a few years to pin this solo down. I think you nailed it note wise, “but”, from any of the cars live performances I have seen, the solo is played down around the 5th fret, ie starting on the B string. Thats the version I play and I find the fingering much easier than starting off up at the 10th fret.

  • @rumblefish3034
    @rumblefish3034 Před 4 lety

    New sub. I found your channel soon after Ocasek passed away because I saw an article calling The Cars, "new wave." They may have started out that way, but they quickly became one of the top innovators (creators?) in what people now refer to as "Pop/Punk." I always knew the basics to this one, but that solo is a beast. The entire tutorial is paced perfectly, and I would definitely recommend the solo portion to anyone who wanted to learn how to effectively bend a half or whole step on the guitar. Placement and hand to hand coordination are only half the battle. The chords are relatively simple, but that solo requires finesse. I think the band would be proud. Anyway that's enough of my sentimental ranting for one evening. Going to check out some more of your vids before I have to hit the hay. Thanks, Marty! 🔥🔥🔥
