If you only sign up for a month I think its worth the 20 bucks. The videos are done very well and teach some techniques I'm still working on. If your interested in learning hendrix/Stevie ray Vaughan type stuff I would highly reccomend texas blues alley.
But if you've been playing for 20 years, I'd pass. I've learned a lot from Marty's free videos so I didn't mind throwing some money his way. I really liked it and would recommend it to anyone who has their basic chords down and is comfortable with the pentatonic scale. He gives you the ideas and tools to create your own sound. Its been a while so I don't remember everything but he has some sample chord progressions using Hendrix style chords and goes over a Hendrix style 12 bar blues. He shows some simple ideas to implement in your playing. He goes over the types of chords Hendrix would use and how he would play them with his thumb over the top so he could play lead at the same time as rhythm. I got a lot out of it but if your an advanced player you probably wont get as much. Marty even says in one video something along the lines of "this is how I've seen Hendrix play this chord but hey I'm not Hendrix and I never will be so here is how I play it, the concept is the same". As others have said the course does not teach songs it teaches techniques. Maybe an advance begginer/intermediate if you will.
#SIMPLE MAN MARTY SCHWARTZ SERIES#
I have Marty's hendrix series and have gone through the whole thing. Either way, I'm pretty happy with the lessons, even as just reinforcement for the basic techniques Hendrix used. Maybe it'll get super advanced in the later stages. Now, with that said, I'm less than a quarter the way through the course so don't take too much stock in this initial and incomplete reaction. More advanced players can probably skip the first five or six videos. Nothing revolutionary yet and nothing that I didn't already know, but I think this is a decent course if you're an intermediate guitar player.

Then the last two I watched get into how to walk melody lines while doing progressions with the 7(#9) chords with roots both on the E and A strings. The first few videos work through Hendrix's variations on chords a la the 7(#9) stuff. I wasn't going to post until I was through the whole course, but here are my early thoughts. To now turn this into a non-non-topic, I went through the first five videos last night. I don't see the point in coming into a thread to tell people it's a non-topic.
