CAGED CHORD LESSON #6 EASILY Creating Delectable Guitar Riffs, Mark Knopfler Style Guitar Lesson.

[@stevejames6860]

I love the fact that you keep your mistakes in the videos that you create, makes me feel a whole lot better!

[@blainetrain2299]

I think it blows that tubers feel pressured to minimize Patreon. What you do is valuable and you deserve all the money your thoughts and ability can bring you. I'm glad you set this up.

[@MelodyMaker]

Agreed. I tend to cringe a little when witnessing your sense of guilt in referencing your resources Ian. It's called capitalism. You are a guitar teacher...and a good one at that.

[@jackpalance2000]

Simplifing Mark Knopfler is impossible; yet Ian has done it again - explaining with ease how a genius guitarist did it. Keep on truckin', Ian!

[@johnwigger49]

Connecting Chord Shapes - This lesson should be called "Stiching Your Chord Shapes Together" This is one of those lessons that can help to take a door that it cracked open to fully open. If you know your caged chord shapes, great! If you can play the chord tones, and full major diatonic and pentatonic scales from each shape great!... but connecting the chord tones from one shape to neighboring shapes - now that takes time and even more forethought while you play. If this is where you are in your playing, then this lesson is for you! Stich emphasizes note choices, not speed. The chord progression is simple, and the time in between playing chord tones gives you time to think about what you want to play next. No matter what, if you play a chord tone (or double stop), it will sound good and musical. I can't speak more highly about this lesson.

[@seanlowe6092]

this is a very important lesson: I've taken on board this theory, chord tones/arpeggios etc many times and try and practise it, get it down ... but make slow improvements, here this lesson directly applies it to a sound I know and like, and now it immediately not only completes the puzzle but provides a real incentive and purpose to practise. Really very very good, even if you didn't like Knopfler's sound, this is essential viewing to take to the upper levels of intermediate playing. thank you very much.

[@mmmaaaaattttt100]

Exactly how I felt watching it too!

[@hunterreed1010]

Ian...DO NOT FEEL BAD about advertising your Patreon! YOU ARE AMAZING and TOTALLY worth it!

[@ConwayBob]

Thank you, Ian, for one of your best KZbin lessons yet. Building the fills on only the last chord in the progression -- and moving that up and down the neck, starting out with only the actual chord tones and then adding in a couple of embellishments (4th, flatted 2nd) makes things so much simpler and easier for those of us still struggling not to suck. Very much appreciated.

[@ReaperBit]

I mean this sincerely - The most valuable lesson I have picked from you is that it’s OKAY to make mistakes. It’s a part of your guitar journey.

[@GeorgeSPAMTindle]

Not only is it o.k. to make mistakes, it is necessary to make them. If you can play without making mistakes it is a sign of not pushing yourself hard enough. You do of course have to overcome your mistakes, but once you have done that you should try and find something harder to practice.

[@distracteddave]

When you did this with simple twist of fate on the patreon Channel it blew my mind. So simple, I started trying this method of soloing, then I loaded up hotel California. So good!!

[@keithjackaman9427]

Love your relaxed teaching style and the way you explain and demonstrate things so clearly. You inspire an "I can do that" mindset which I'm sure makes most people just want to grab their guitar and have a go.

[@Castlehassle2075]

You are the BEST guitar teacher in the Galaxy! Thank you!!!!

[@StichMethodGuitar]

That’s very nice to hear😁. So glad you like the channel

[@integralherbalism3093]

Fantastic. 18, 3rd guitar lesson of ten. "I want to play Sultans of Swing" 28 years later...you bring all together....Brilliant unpacking of Knopfler's thinking and how to understand what is happening instead of just memorising it. Now the brain twisting challenge of unpacking all his riffs onto the map you've given us! And providing us with a way of creating one's own riffs over the chords is real gift.

[@drewtullio2385]

I think this is my favorite video format you do; when you dive "into the mind of" musicians and their thought process when playing.

[@coreyawilliams]

I don’t comment much on KZbin...but I had to let you know that you did it. You finally got me to understand how to implement the Caged system. I always understood the concept, the shapes and that it was valuable, but it’s never clicked on how to implement it in my playing. Huge thank you.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Awesome to hear Corey, have you seen my Caged MasterClass?

[@thatredhead-13]

I just wanted to say that your channel has single handedly made learning and forming my guitar playing 10x better. If I wanna learn something I search it then stitch method after it. Keep up the amazing work man

[@mikefox2379]

What is the best order to watch all of his videos. I know chords/ barr chords and my notes pretty well but he has an overwhelming amount of videos here.

[@thatredhead-13]

@@mikefox2379 go to playlists and look at what kind you're interested in. In there either start with the first video or just watch whichever one you want. If it's something you might think is too "advanced" take literal notes for the future

[@brutexrp7207]

I love that piece of advice to play the arpeggios as individuals scale/chord tones and note as a structured chord shape held.

[@canadianintheukbrian]

On my Stichmethod Time Machine journey of solidifying my Cage Chord knowledge this is a brilliant lesson to actually hear and see Cage Chord Tones in action brilliant, I was listening and practicing this lesson and the lightbulbs were flashing, but I am going over the Cage Chord Primer List, thanks Ian, eventually I will be back on your Pateron group,

[@KipIngram]

Sultans has got to be one of the best bits of guitar work ever.

[@mmmaaaaattttt100]

Dude thanks so much for this awesome lesson. I think this finally opened up the concept of fills between chords for me, which is something I've been working on for forever but it never quite clicked like it did watching this. Epic. Thanks a million.

[@chiquiinfinite7028]

This is exactly what no other KZbin teacher does. Thank you for diving into this subject. I can finally see what the theory is behind this.

[@johnmooney3105]

Ian....I love the way you don't edit out your mistakes! Thank you for being mortal!

[@snoek8]

Thank you. I have been playing this song for years and never realized the fills were all from the A-major chords tones. It now all makes sense.

[@noahtenshen]

I'd put off watching this series despite your suggestions in other videos, until now, because quite frankly, I wasn't ready. This is such a great series, and now that my eyes can see, it has opened up the fretboard in ways I hadn't even thought to wish for. I can spent endless hours (days, weeks...) now playing with this lesson alone. I've noticed the C shape seems to be a favorite of yours and it has been a challenge to talk my fingers into it, but I see it happening and I can also see why you like it so much. If I had an income I'd give a large part to you. You deserve it! Rock On and Stay Well!

[@blueeyephil]

After following your vids for a couple of years, this made perfect sense. Love this song and now I understand the fills. It's slowly coming together for me, thanks a lot to you.

[@Rectitude4U]

Such a good teacher. I wish I would’ve had your videos to watch 10 years ago.

[@johncharal1698]

If you can already see the CAGED arpeggio shapes this is a wonderful lesson for making connections and seeing the surrounding intervals. Doing it with that classic progression is the cherry on top. Thanks, Stitch.

[@imacashew.]

“You can put the D in anywhere “ Not according to my old lady stitch.

[@whayneneal]

That made me laugh. Thanks.

This has quickly become one of my favorite videos. GREAT idea for a lesson. "Just putting the D in." 😆

[@imacashew.]

Anywhere you have an A you can put the D in. Yeah tell that to my wife...

[@DaveE69]

On my first lesson my guitar teacher asked me what my ultimate goal was. I just replied “Sultans of Swing”. Maybe one day… 🙏

[@tomguyott2141]

Your lessons are superb you are presenting guitar and music in a way that really makes sense and is very challenging but with that being said the results are very rewarding thank you very much

I absolutely love your lessons. This one is excellent. I have watched it about 4 times over this past 2 weeks. It is coming together for me. Thanks.

[@greghobbs1728]

Looks like Knopfler's 61' Strat. He said that "the pick is a biggest amplifier of all" he used fingerpicking technique instead. This song/sound hit me like lightning when I first heard it. Thanks for the instruction.

Hi Ian! thank you very much for your videos! they are the best videos on KZbin! I saw all your Blues Primer Playlist and they are brilliant!... I have a question- why do Knopfler use the A Major chord tones for the fills between the chords, if the Key is D minor? Thanks in advance!
