[@awsomeal100]

Guitar Detective Exposes Jimmy Page On The Fretboard........ And Nails Him With Overwhelming Evidence ....Coolest Led Zep Lesson I Have Ever Seen.....Genius....The Stich.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

I might change the title of the video now!

[@williamgray8522]

I firmly believe that there’s a unique genius in the ability to convey complex ideas in a simple way. Stitch, you knocked the ball out of the park in explaining this to us. In just 13 minutes you managed to inspire a whole community of viewers to pick up their guitar. Let’s make some Rock and Roll!

[@luminol67]

😳 just came across this video. I'm a 54-year-old intermediate player and I'm giddy about trying this out and breaking out of the plateau I've been in!!! Thank you so much for distilling this into a potent Zep elixir! Cheers.

[@ObscuredByCloud]

Incredible lesson! Tactical dot summary 1. Find your minor pentatonic 2. Find the notes in other places 3. Write a riff with Power Chords 4. Add the major 3rd in your chords (substitute your major chords or layer them - Harmony) 5. Solo with Major pentatonic (MixoDorian lesson)

[@jessecoatgaming4278]

Oh thank you all mighty and all knowing KZbin algorithm, for leading this disciple closer to the light that is attainable through pentatonic bliss.

[@sath_b]

This is great. Too many people blindly categorise Page just as a blues master, and tend to overlook how free his playing style was. People also really overlook how brilliant his overdubs were in providing harmony, songs like Ten Years Gone, Achilles Last Stand, The Rain Song have sublime harmonies that kick in just at the right time, and just at the same time. I love how his harmonies always add to the riff, but never obscure it

This is just so refreshing. I could listen to you talk about concepts and sounds all day.

[@InteleVision-Vic]

Rocking between the Major and the Minor is way cool.

[@lanatrzczka]

I tried it out, as you suggested to do. I recorded a repeating minor pentatonic (single notes) riff , found the basic block chords it would be, and then found the major 3rd of each. Put the riff on playback and played the single note maj 3rd notes doubling the minor riff. Boom! Jimmy Page sound! Didn't even need to plug in, just used an acoustic. This of yours is the best Jimmy Page study video I have ever seen.

[@Drum_Beats_Guitar_Riffs]

I am a 47 year old drummer...but I write riffs and solo on basic pentatonic ideas with a fernandes strat from the 80s. Your channel has helped my musicality so much. A big Zep fan from the UK. The flow and phrasing of your riff reminds me of Nobody's Fault But Mine...keep rocking

[@dh4767]

I absolutely love your teaching style and methods. You do an incredible job explaining concepts and building off of why you’ve previously stated in a lesson. You provide an incredible amount of information in your lessons and fluidly build up to more and more complex concepts.

This is the best lesson I’ve ever watched, I went the guitar after watching and smashed a great zep style track - genius tips

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Awesome to hear!

[@StichMethodGuitar]

PLEASE READ: I forgot to mention something in this video. My riff I created did not have the 5th interval (5) of the minor pentatonic. My riff was b7 1 b7 4 b3 4 b3 1. When harmonizing the riff with the Major 3rds, IF you use the 5 of the minor pentatonic, the Major 3rd note that is produced is not in the Major Pentatonic, it is a Major 7th. So playing the 1 b3 4 b7 of the minor pentatonic and then harmonizing with the Major 3rds, give you the 1 2 3 5 of a Major Pentatonic. The Note that is created when harmonizing the 5 becomes a Major 7 (M7) even though this isn't in the Major Pentatonic, You have two options 1. Play the harmony of the 5 anyway and the Major Pentatonic will work fine. 2. Don't play the harmony of the 5 and the Major Pentatonic will work fine. I just wanted to mention that Harmonizing the 5 with a Major third as discussed in this video does not produce an entire Major Pentatonic. Hope that made sense, I will address this in my next live feed so be sure to look out for that. Rock on.

[@AndyNyle]

Great! In fact what makes page distinct is his extensive use of major scales in the solos. Giving Zeppelin that uplifting dancing feel

[@nasher931]

Best video lesson I've seen. Led Zeppelin is basically the reason why I started playing guitar in the first place and I've always been wanting to emulate that style without just being a Led Zeppelin tribute act

[@thegreatestguitaristonmars3608]

9:50 whoo!

[@David-rr4gb]

This really opened my mind in an Everything Everywhere All the Time multi-verse way, I’ve always wanted to utilize major and minor modes together more creatively but didn’t really understand how they are able to harmoniously coexist simultaneously so I couldn’t visualize a way to know when or how to go back and forth until you explained your revelation about how Page blends those modes so effectively, it also helps explain why even his seemingly simple riffs or licks contain so much powerful emotion 🧐

[@Greg77atl]

Hi Stich, Some people can study music theory for years trying to get that Page sound and struggle with it while others can watch your videos and unlock the secrets of the Page Universe. Thank you!!! for making this video. Best, Greg

[@himalayanbowls]

Finally someone uses music theory correctly. Rather than using theory as the end goal, you’re using theory to explain the musical expression. Good job!

[@EclecticEssentric]

Yes. I try to explain that theory is theory. You can play Gm penta over a C chord, you only get G+C and the rest is weird flavor. Basically, dissonance is flavor if tempered. Playing Eb penta over C major scale is likely too much flavor, but it's all about degrees of dissonance.

[@himalayanbowls]

@@EclecticEssentric completely NOT my point but whatever

[@EclecticEssentric]

@@himalayanbowls Yeah man, I don't know what my intent was with that. I don't see the relevance either. Sorry for my brain fart, haha. (Typo edit).

[@Jjj53214]

Great observation, Stitch! The next thing to understand is how Pagey goes back and forth between alternative riffs in a song such as the slow and fast parts of “Babe, I’m gonna leave you”, or how he changes the riff altogether such as the end of “The Ocean.”

[@javierzapata5589]

[@jeffmallas9618]

First of all that wasn’t Angus Young, that was Leslie West. Second, I’ve been trying to get Sunshine of Your Love down for years and the major third addition in the riff and the fact he’s playing D major pentatonic over it was a huge insight and help for me. Third, your explanation of Jimmy’s sound was just amazing. Great job Stitch and thank you!

[@tomcornwell4688]

Yes, Leslie West for sure.

[@LeonSanginiti]

This was a GREAT lesson! All these years of playing and just sticking to minor pentatonic for minor riffs and major for major riffs, but KNOWING something sounded different with Page, this finally EXPLAINED IT! BRAVO!

[@txikitofandango]

If you put together all the major 3rds above E minor pentatonic, you get B major pentatonic... Now, you can add the E back in to recover your E major pentatonic, but you get a free D# in the deal. Great discovery!

[@plasma3211]

Its amazing to me that YOU are the first one I ever heard explain this concept before-wow!! I have followed JP since Led Zep One which totally blew me away. That album intimidated me so much that I didn't seem to dare to tackle it on the guitar. What you explained is so clear and I can hear it in his playing in so many songs. I knew early on that he used Chord Inversions to spice up his playing and maybe a decade ago or so about him using 3rds and sixths. It wasn't until 7/30/21 that I figured out how he was making his solos sound unique. It seems very few people can do what he does in that respect!?

This is a wonderful lesson. You have clearly articulated the hows and whys of fluidly moving from major to minor in a solo.

[@stanphillips7277]

I just learned that the minor pentatonic Ive been playing since I was 15(learning) was 3 half steps away from the major pentatonic and, the very same pattern! Blew my mind. I had a lllooonng hiatus from guitar and just bought myself a Fender Squier Affinity SSS and a Fender Mustang LT25 modeling amp from a local shop here in Miami and he through together a bundle for just under $500.00 , gig bag, capo, chord, pick, strap w/it . Zeppelin is arguably (argument with myself 😂) my favorite band. Did you know that the solo to "Sunshine of your Love" begins with the American standard "Blue Moon"? I just had that pointed out to me. The KZbin algorithm has directed me to you 3 or 4 times now and I really like you. You play the music I love, on the instrument I love, plus you seem like a really nice person. I think you are a genuinely nice guy, and I'm usually a pretty decent judge of character if I can say that with humility. So I'm going to subscribe after this one. I've always jammed in minor pentatonic but thrown in all the notes that seemed to fit. Lately I've been listening to people like you who speak in 3rds and 5ths and I'm learning theory a bit every day. The real kicker is after a back surgery and emphasema (C.O.P.D) and a cigarette habit that had me in the hospital on a monthly basis, I'm now in a nursing home and I thought it would be easier to play from bed . Plus the nurses aids have to help me get set-up cause I'm unable to walk YET! So I haven't played in around 3 months. Partially because my guitar was never set-up and the low E is flat at twelve. I can have it set-up for $30.00 by the guy I bought it from (I bought it by phone and my nurse picked it up for me) will set it up but I have to get someone to take it their. It's ok by the 5th and 7th frets but the intonation and action are way off, tension is all over the place. The only one who notices is me , I just avoid the Low E by the body and it sounds fine but I'm working too hard ya know? So I'm watching and learning and itching to play but the aids are passing out dinner. I've got no appetite until 4am really, I just want to play today and it's not getting any easier watching your video. 😂 Anyway, I talk alot in person too. I'll just end by saying I'm going to hit subscribe and turn my notifications on all for your channel. By the way, I'm not suffering and I don't want anyone to pity me, I'm blessed , I'm doing really well since I quit smoking and I'm better off than 99% of the world population. All my needs are met and some are just wants unnecessary to survival. Like my guitar. Although without music in your life, especially if it's your greatest passion it's almost a need right? Anyway, really good video and I like your presentation alot. ☮️🎸🎶🎵🙏

[@ElrohirGuitar]

Putting Led Zeppelin together with Sunshine of Your Love. How much better can music get.

Stich, you’re awesome! I always thought Page’s genius is how he blends majors and minor sounds in surprising ways and harmonies. His solos just sound sexy and funky. Your solo reminds me of a slowed down version of Communications Breakdown. You hear this style all over the place in Page’s solos - Black Dog, Nobody’s Fault But Mine, and on and on. It’s great that you recognize this man’s genius.

Great lesson.. And great to see (especially at the start) you using the Middle Pickup position .This was Pages " Go To " sound and gets that Page "Hollow Chirp" tone..Pagey also uses that middle sound for Black Dog (Hollow sound)if you listen to the Live Album TSRTS. Great lesson you gave.. Thanks.

[@jimilee459]

Damn Ian, that’s genius. I can’t believe it’s something so simplistically complex. My next thought is, can you play a page vs young riff off in the same song? Kind of an Angus takes a solo and then Jimmy takes a solo. That would be neat.
