Howard Stern Called Me... Then I Met Slash the Same Day

Guitar story time! Hear how I met Slash, what he said to me, and how Howard Stern called me that same day. It’s the most surreal day of my life as a guitar teacher and musician—totally unforgettable. Hey what’s up you guys—Marty here with something a little different today! This is a wild true story about the day I randomly met Slash (yes, that Slash!)… and earlier that same day, got a phone call from Howard Stern thanking me for a guitar I sent him. Slash was my guitar hero long before I ever picked up a guitar, so getting to meet him—and hearing that he’d watched my videos—was beyond surreal. I share the full story here, along with some behind-the-scenes from my time in Nashville with Gibson, how the Howard call came about, and some big “pinch me” moments. 🎸 Want a free guitar guide to help YOU on your journey? https://www.martymusic.com/the-ultima...
