FREE 1 HOUR PENTATONIC GUITAR MASTERCLASS: Pentatonics + Chords = Soloing Greatness

[@jnorfleet3292]

Just want to thank you. I started on your pentatonic scales video over a year ago. Followed your lessons on scales, chords, caged system, and cord tone targeting. Fast forward to now, It is a really cool feeling to just sit back, let my emotions flow through the guitar to make music. Don't even waste my time trying to learn other people's music, it all just flows naturally now. You opened a world I could only dream about before, can't thank you enough for that.

[@AcidicDelusion]

This is exactly where I want to be. Don't want to cover music - just want to sit on my sofa and let music come out. Any tip or more details to how you got there. Or you literally just followed stitch's youtube videos?

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Your comment is a Thank You Enough!

[@jnorfleet3292]

@@AcidicDelusion Lots of practice. I have my guitar in a stand next to my chair and pick it up several times a day. I had spent a year previously watching any video I could, practicing the basics, cords and scales until I could play them without thinking. But it wasn't until stitches video on pentatonic scales that the light went off, something about how he explained it. I became a Patrion member on his site. He has pdf files you can download and print out that has chords and matching scales on the same page. A picture is worth a thousand words and this in when it all started to make sense. Also, practice your 'mood' to get your emotions in sync with your playing. If having a bad day, practice minor scales and chords. Having a good day, practice majors. This helped me to forget all the technicals and just let it flow with emotions. And don't be scared to mess up, some of my best riffs came from screw-ups. Oh well, hope this helps. Wish you the best on your path.

Congratulations, I am stuck in the BB Box, can't get out, and a couple other boxes.

[@ryandcosta1332]

Thank you so much sir ..this free master class is worth more than thousands of paid courses I have ever done..but still couldn't play a single song or lick...but stich method..BOOM.. opened all the lead guitar playing secrets and the Mysterious CAGE system..I can now apply it by knowing it not memorising it 🙏🙏 thank you so much ❤️❤️

[@AaronAubreyPhoto]

man,, 20 mins in and I've already gotten so much out of this! I've always had a decent grasp of my chord shapes around the neck, as well as a few of the pentatonic boxes. My mind would always think about one or the other while trying to move around.. now 'seeing' the chord in relation to each box, wow... I jammed over a loop for about 45 mins just baking in all these positions and it feels incredible!! I'm moving so much more freely around, and by being able to connect these boxes and accentuate the chord tones, I'm so much more 'musical' than before!! Thank you so much!!!

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Awesome to hear! Just spread the word!

[@longbow60435]

You just answered 20 years of questions about the guitar that I've been wanting to learn. Thank you.

[@samwheeler-brown7458]

These videos always come out as I wake up here in New Zealand. Love your work every time Ian. Your videos in the last year have taken me from Rythym player in a rut, to confident lead playing, improved technique and finally in the last few weeks an understanding of using modes and chord tones properly. Thank you truly for all your time you put into this. I can't tell you the joy this has brought into my life during lockdown. You're the man!

[@dougsmith8430]

Thanks Stitch! You are a great Teacher! I love your lessons… A lesson that comes to mind is a lesson you had about ‘chord tones’ and how many people see them as the same as arpeggios… But you show how Jerry Garcia took Chord tones as being part of an arpeggio and play it and then blend it (slide it),into arpeggios to get that specific and beautiful sound that Jerry had… These are the types of things that sets you apart from other teachers! THANK YOU!

Great lesson for me as I have been watching Theory YT vids for about ,5 ys. George Benson is self taught. He plays linear and he explained in interviews that it is easier to play up and down the neck. Now I found this lesson to learn the details..... Just in Time. Your a very fun likeable type friendly teacher. .Really I'm a singer. But learning guitar for secondary reasons. Your so .happy when you teach...turning out ...I am now having fun. Thank you 🎶🎵🎶

[@jonesybones13]

Awesome! You may have just helped me more than anyone else to understand how to link chords and scales together. My only criticism is- you're too self-deprecating- you sound great and are an excellent teacher. Don't beat yourself up for hitting an occasional bad note. You made me realize how Duane Allman used the pentatonic pretty much exclusively. And remember what he said about bad notes - "if you play a bad note, play it again" 😄 Thanks, Stitch!!

[@artie2345]

Thank you so much, your classes have opened my mind to how this instrument actually works. Can’t thank you enough. Your neverlost changed my life, have recently been practicing exactly what you described in this class and seeing the major scale over it as well, you had some great insights here.

Thanks Ian! This is great! Since I learned diatonic shapes first, my mind always wraps it around these smaller shapes. As I move up and down the neck I'll switch from diatonic to pentatonic and throwing in some extra notes.

Hi. Late to the party, but... wanted to say thanks for the great teaching. I've watched a few of your videos and will say I've picked up more from your stuff than most any other site I've been to in years. Dig how you teach and your playing style. Been playing for 30 years or so and was primarily a solo acoustic, harp, "vocalist",... an entertainer (but never considered myself a musician). About two or three years ago finally decided to try and get good at being a more accomplished all around guitarist - trying to get good at the electric and soloing. It's been slow going and I keep falling back to what I know best on the acoustic. Your stuff and sound has taken me in the different direction I think I was needing and looking for. Thanks so much. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. I teach too (medicine, not music) and am so thrilled when I see my students have an "ah-ha" moment. I don't have to teach but do it in addition to my main gig - its those "ah-ha's" you get from students that make it worth it. I'm letting you know I've had at least two of those from the bit of time I've spent with your stuff. Your enthusiasm shows in your teaching style and I thought you'd appreciate that little story. Thanks again.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Awesome to hear. I really appreciate you reaching out. It means a lot to me. Hope you enjoy the rest of the channel. My channel exists for those “Ah Ha” moments so this made me smile. Be well.

I've seen a few lessons about playing triads on string sets before, but this is the first time I've really seen a practical way to incorporate them into improvisation. After getting the first three strings down, I can see applying these exercises to other string sets as well. Thank you. The arpeggio master class is good, but this piece of the puzzle is a little more usable at first because of staying on only 3 strings. It's easier to get my mind around it.
