Hi Ian. I want to purchase a bunch of your PDFs. Is there a way to bundle the purchase? I went to your website but see that all of the purchases are separate?

[@johnmcaleese8459]

Love to but without a printer, I'm screwed. Trying to absorb on the fly. It's like eating a Double Whopper while driving.

[@michaelthomas9992]

Best guitar teacher EVER. No one explains it like stitch!!!!!!! He’s the man!!!!

[@dpolitoaaa]

i use marty and stiche

[@annieo.4779]

This is really fantastic. Going to take lots of practice but makes so much sense. By the way, I signed up for your Patreon a month or so ago and it was one of the best things for my guitar journey. Thanks for all you do, Ian. I get so excited when I get a Patreon email alert for your videos. But you also have a ton of prior ones for us to learn from, as well.

[@manuelquirante8864]

From Spain, congratulations, every video is Amazing. So clear and useful...

[@blackfishgaming7145]

After 30+ years of playing, I'm really grateful I found your link. I've had a lot of teachers over the years and you're in the top 2 of the list. The other guy taught me technique. You're the man when it comes to connecting dots with theory. Your happiness and passion contributes so much. Thank you

[@mnhoz]

Finally, the guitar neck makes sense. I’ve been trying to stay patient and think eventually it is going to click and this video did it. Thank you!

[@stephendelacruzone]

Stich... you giving freely many Hidden Gem/Rosetta Stone Knowledge for playing guitar... for struggling learning guitarist like me. I've been stuck in that intermediate/box of suffering for two decades! I'm finally seeing the light... to guitar/musical freedom! 🕊

Thank you so much for your lessons. God bless you always Stitch

[@sneezyIce]

Thank you! This is seriously the FIRST time I understand connection between caged and minor pentatonics! Most i have seen approach it via the major pentatonic and it confused the hell out of me

[@markbrady7532]

Love the constellation analogy-thank you!

[@epistemologicaldespair68]

Ian thank you endlessly for these videos, in a matter of weeks my playing has improved at least 50%.

[@jerrybean5973]

Ian has taught me more than anyone! I am developing a much better understanding of the fret board and USABLE MUSIC THEORY. Thank you Sensei.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

So nice to hear

[@robertdearden3434]

You are a fantastic teacher. I know my caged system. Through one of your caged videos. Same with what pentatonic shapes go with what caged chord. But it's the way you explain things that teaches me how to actually apply these things to my playing. Thank you very much!!!

[@chrisvanallsburg]

Brilliant lesson, and I love your humble attitude as well. Thank you!

[@jjlbridge7877]

This lesson is gold. Thank you!

[@cp1979rp2008]

I've been self teaching myself guitar for about 6 years now via KZbin and books, but stichmethod is now my go to channel everytime, I can't rate him highly enough. Cheers Stich

[@tomask.3983]

Said it before, say it again; next to having a guitar teacher in your home, Stich is the way to go! And to make things even better - the fact that Stich looks like (sort of) some member of the Grateful Dead, makes it all very real!! 🙂

[@stephenbrumlow931]

Brilliant lesson Ian. Helps me to finally find understand the relationship between the CAGED chords and their respective scales. Rock on 🤘.

[@buzzstankos8532]

Another outrageous lesson, Ian! I have long tried to come up with a way to get this and BOOM! -- The StichMethod does it again..

[@ColorwayMusic]

Hey, this was a great lesson. I’ve been playing for 40 years and have kind of disregarded the CAGED method until recently. Really cool to see it all fitting together like this. And kudos for getting it all in without any jittery edits like on so many other learning videos. Cheers and rock on. -Alex

[@raydanielz9408]

The dedication is awesome stitch👌

[@mxzyk353]

I will come back in a couple of years to get up to your speed., you ar5e doing great job.

[@momentoftruth7594]

just learned the CAGED system the other day, from you ty, and already i can see it's the key to the fretboard, learning so much so fast now, thanks again.

[@DerFuchsJr]

Dude you can even take this further if you play rythm and lead just play any chord and you know exactly where you are in the pent. scales as many just go to position 1 for orientation now they dont need to anymore Also you can switch keys that way much easier Thank you for teaching me this

[@martynspooner5822]

I could not even tell you how much this lesson meant to me. Have been constantly tripping over myself and sort of trying to work out everything in relation to box 1 which gets very confusing very quickly. Thanks a lot I have finally twigged it ie well once I'd been shown.

[@RLB52]

I like going back to these older videos. This one refreshes the basics.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Always love hearing from you!

[@trigelvza]

Lesson like this always encourage me to persevere in my guitar practice. You're so generous. Thank you.

[@lokhistormborn4165]

Pretty cool! I never thought it that way, at least not consciously.

[@megarxidas17]

Great explanation.Thank you

[@josephgraham1075]

I start to understand you to a tee. Then I get lost. I think I'm trying to take in to much at one time. Your mind blowing I would love to jam with you. I always played bass for every band I've played out with, but I can't I have to play guitar when I'm playing and singing by myself. It's hard to find open mind musical. I ❤ jam bands... it's a shame we didn't cross paths. At a Dead show or Phish show in the 90s.

[@jerrymooney5804]

Thank you! This was very helpful.

[@dhaneshkumar2792]

I have recently came across your channel and in my opinion, yours is the best, when it comes to music theory and connecting the missing dots. I have seen a lot of videos on caged system, but this video answered all the questions I had and I can visualize the whole fret board now. Gonna watch all of the videos from your channel. Thank you so much. Lots of love from India 🇮🇳

[@greenygg3498]

"Really!!?...Really!!!" Hahah ;) I love the honesty and transparency in these lessons. Your so hard on yourself and need to give yourself more credit for the incredibly positive impact your having on people all over the world. I scroll through the comments occasionally just to see what other learners like me are putting out there and your impact and mellow genuine approach is perfect. The epiphanies I get watching your content is a god send through my theory/playing struggles.

[@philnel7516]

Wow. Showed me so much. Thanks!

Your two hour CAGED master class made me finally understand my instrument and so my playing. It is incredibly liberating to be able now to put all the pieces of information from the past together in one big picture. It is still a long road but you made me pass light years of understanding. Thank you buddy!

THANKS STITCH! i have been struggling with the different forms for some time now.This was exactly what i have been needing to get all this straight in my head, Hope you dont mind me snipping and pasting those diagrams into one of my guitar folders, dont worry I never upload so this is for my traing only. GREAT VIDEO BRO!

[@jackh577]

I learned about the power of the fifth note from Stich. I good tip is, the fifth note is usually just above the root note! Just not on the G string because the B string is a step down. In this case it shifts a fret.

[@silviai.6680]

Thank you so very much! You have a great way of explaining things!

[@BrickDavis]

this is brilliant.

great lesson and great chart to reiterate and solidify what you just said....thank you.

Love your content! Some of the best/easiest to follow explanations of important concepts. Also I really enjoy the ability to support your channel without getting a subscription or buy an entire course. Low treshold of admission to support content you like and getting really useful charts in return. As much as you need or can afford or find worth it. Big fan of the concept and I hope it works well enough for you to be able to keep doing it this way.

[@MikeDGuitar]

This fulfilled my CAGED knowledge on the chord shapes; I previously looked at the G minor shape as two bars at the bottom without the the b3, but now I know better. Thank you, sir. I have one question, though: how are the modes associated with this system? The CAGED method to me seems purely pentatonic; that is, the chord shapes seem to be derived from pentatonic intervals.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

CAGED goes way beyond pentatonic. I’m doing a modes video next week and it might help.

[@MikeDGuitar]

@@StichMethodGuitar Okay, cool! I'm looking forward to checking it out!

[@jackh577]

Michael D.- Looking forward to Stich's Modes video too! I highly recommend you spend $1.29 and buy the Chord Shape PDF Stich is selling. He also has one available in another lesson for the Major Penta shapes! The Pentatonic scales come from the major scale. They are just 5 of the 7 notes of the major scale. I've struggled with making sense of CAGED and Pentatonic Boxes and shapes for soo long. Stich has really helped bring it all into focus in my brain. I'd strongly suggest sticking to Stich with regards to these topics. There are too many other teachers out there that make things confusing. Stich isn't giving us opinion, its musical facts. And his style and ability to explain things is a true gift!!

[@edwile473]

Hi Ian, Thanks so much. This series and the recent blues series on patreon are a tour de force. So helpful. I was wondering it in the future you could do companion major lessons. Essentially the Dickie Betts to the Clapton of these lessons. I'd also be interested in a lesson on how to play fast, repeating licks and how to build up the speed. Thanks so much

Merry Xmas Ian. Keep up the sterling work...!
