FEAR OF SCREWING UP? Let Me Try And Help. PURPOSEFUL GUITAR SCALE PRACTICE. Guitar Fundamentals

[@BanishedToEarth]

Your videos and the comment sections I see prove how good of a teacher you are; each lesson is gold. There are lots of guitar players here making genuine progress with your stuff Ian. You kick ass! Thanks again, you make a difference in this world man!

[@m2svirtual384]

I'd think an even better title might be 'FEAR of screwing up', as many musicians encounter 'blank' moments when performing. This concept you are bringing to the practice arena not only helps with scale and muscle memory, but teaches the brain to be able to 'idle' within an idea as you figure out a new place to go. When performing, I quite often use bends (especially the half-step variety) and milk the livin' bejeezus out of it while figuring out where to go next. Being able to pause like that makes your performance 'breathe' - just like we pause when speaking. Or typing.

Done

Just like playing with a band - if you get lost, NEVER stop. Keep playing it out and find your way to a reset point and continue from there.

I have no idea how I got here, but I really needed these advices. Time to practise !

[@theinstigator1931]

Your doing a fantastic job, I’m older guitarist but never advance like I wish I could. You’ve helped me so much. Thank you

[@StichMethodGuitar]

All I ask is spread the word! So glad you are enjoying it!

[@dk8413]

Stiiiiiiiiiiich brother I wish you nothing but the best. Just letting you know that you are, hands down, the best guitar teacher on KZbin for me. Your approach is ideal in every way. And I hope you are enjoying your road trip, great times. My salutation is: peace, love, and encouragement ✌🏻

[@whayneneal]

Down by the river. Beautiful, bro.

[@ianhughes287]

The mystical bond between a teacher and a student wins again. I so wanted this topic to get covered. So elaborative yet so simple *add on your sense of humour. Hands down to you sir. Love n respect♥️💯🤘🏼Rock n roll !!!!!

Words of wisdom, words of wisdom

[@KevinORourke25]

Ian, you are very quickly becoming the source of the most pertinent info for guitar players on you tube. Everything you teach is so useful and has such an impact on players of all levels I would imagine. Thanks for everything you have taught me. Kevin O'Rourke

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Thanks Kevin, always a pleasure to hear from you.

[@MrDavid997]

Let the rhythm take control.

[@MrDavid997]

I can’t believe I said that. I hate Gloria Estefans music.

[@ianrichardson3968]

Quite liked the cool monochrome intro..Half expected an old slow blues there for a minute.. Have to ditch the head hankie for a porkie pie hat though..

[@jessemontano6399]

Beautiful place. Check out the invisible landscape

[@drewdietz2115]

wonderfully simple, yet spot on sir Ian.....now to get with it, thanks!!

[@ianhughes287]

P.s.. i presume a 'barb' is something that isnt in the pentatonic scale for eg ..a bum note ?.. but never come off the rails is great advice. Is it fair to say its better to prioritise the rhythm and stay on the rails like you say.?✌❤

[@ianhaffenden-music7267]

Yeah, helpful Ian. As I was doing the lesson, instead of doubling up on the same note on the triplet, I played it and bent it, which sounded good on the 4 and flat 7

[@jasonpedley]

As a "former" drummer, one thing I thought of was going between two strings using a paradiddle where you move the accent each time.

[@Phbutler]

This is so helpful! Cheers!

[@nextlevelvampire9978]

Hey Ian, Would you mind making a video about figuring songs out by ear and interval training and so?! And I’d like to see your approach to three note per string scales as well :) Thanks and lots of love!

[@btsmchl]

Spot on! Thanks bro!

[@terryschultz1855]

Good stuff. I really need to practice more. BTW, getting in our RV next month for a few weeks. Safe travels to you..

[@josephcorsale573]

This was really helpful. I’d consider myself an beginner and I’m trying to break into the intermediate dimension and this is great I just Subscribed! Thank you.

[@jonathanmaron8942]

Great lesson Ian! so happy you're living your dream! take care., Jon

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Jon!!! Great to hear from you! Hope you are doing well

[@jonathanmaron8942]

All good! thanks for asking. If you make it to Seattle, give me a call!

[@ianhaffenden-music7267]

Hi Ian Any chance doing in the mind of Phish's Bathtub Gin? I'd love to solo over that? Ian

[@martynspooner5822]

Another little gem thanks as always

[@jimruppel476]

Really good lesson. I was wondering if this applies to cord changes as well?

[@townbeach3603]

Welcome to Beatle juice world

[@gospelballer33]

First!!! Great lessons as always.

[@JaniceLalla]

Saw you on Hack!

[@JaniceLalla]

Do you have any RV videos?

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Soon!!!😁

[@sgd5k292]

Hi....been a while since I have visited your channel...I will keep up with your channel as you are too good a teacher to miss again! I will start practicing this technique now. A couple of questions: I pretty much can play the A pentatonic scale in the CAGED system up and down the neck fairly well and can now improvise somewhat with a backing track. If I take the A Pentatonic position and slide down string #6 from root note A to root note G or F notes, if I follow the same CAGED pattern from there, does that make it a G or F minor pentatonic and with some note changes make them into G or F major scales? Thanks! Oh, one other thing, I usually start out on the A note as root and many times change to a C as the root, but still maintain the structure of the A pentatonic CAGED system. Is that ok? Thanks again!

[@azcharlie2009]

What kind of guitar is that? The back bracing looks interesting..... Must be a Taylor?

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Taylor AD27 and it’s really a sweet guitar

[@fattboyzz1355]

Pentatonics first ? ..but, but Sean Daniel said major scale first 😁😁😁
