Stich has such a focus on practical application and honesty that is so refreshing to watch. Many times we have the pieces and we just need to put them in place with heart and a (semi)-rational strategy. The last few years has been an improvisational journey and I am proud to say you and others have given me the confidence to teach music to my own students. And every day the confidence to play what I feel in my heart grows. Thank you Stich! ❤

[@BurnleyNuts]

I think it's guys like you on You tube Stitch that keep all of us proper learners out here on guitar honest. So many Tubers with quick fixes and easy tricks. But you, like many other good teachers lead us to the water and then let us drink and learn by ourselves. Which of course (and we know it) takes time to learn the craft. Keep it coming mate.

[@aacs2776]

Thanks for all your vids mate, you have unlocked so much on the guitar for me over these past few months 👍

[@vltjd]

Thank you. As one of many who likely asked the question, you really got me with this video. Know where I went wrong and couldn't thank you enough.

[@jordantaylor1988]

This is EXACTLY what I've been trying to work on lately. Great lesson!

[@cytwoelk4285]

Well put, thanks for that. You just verbalized something I'd been getting a sense for, but didn't quite get my finger on. It's really helpful to hear you spell it out the way you did.

[@crashdaddy261]

That was both informative and, yes, inspirational at the same time!

[@joewalker2172]

Stich you da man, I’ve learned everything I know on guitar from you!!! Love you bro

[@kevinrich5312]

Great ideas to work with! Thank you!

[@aplpax]

love the problem-solving aspect!

[@ocpblo]

Excellent! Thx Ian

[@sethbrown8912]

Great as usual. Something to start with that we can build upon and retain for years.

[@Jowls2024]

I to give pet names to my chops. For example. Slides= Death from above , look out below. Bends = Cries or screamers. Vibrato=vibes Sweeps = shitties . Hammer ons/off = Hams 😅

[@carson2668]

Awesome video man!! I’m a long time watcher first time commenter, but I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you while the video was so fresh. My gratitude not only extends to the guitar wisdom you share, but also your personality. The community you’ve created is amazing man!!! The comment section is so collaborative to your purpose and it’s just a beautiful sight to see! Anyways maybe I’ll shoot ya an email one of these days, thank you for that opportunity. And hope you keep it jiggy man!🤙🏄🏻‍♂️

[@toosmoothtomoove3510]

Great Teacher !

[@keovongvilaykeo4799]

Thanks you for great lessons 😊

[@scallywag8788]

who wudda thought Karl Marx would be the greatest guitar teacher ever. Respect.

[@jeffmilkey]

Cool Lesson...Thanks.

[@steev6946]

No matter what I know when I watch you and li learn so much more 👍

[@jolu1621]

Thank you 👋

[@mannyleon2122]

Thank you!

[@-BY205]

I have to try this 🤔 thanks helpfull idears .... thx 👍

[@TommySG1]

This is one of the best tutorials I've watched in a while, thanks Stich!

[@jondoe2938]

i love that guitar

[@johncharal1698]

Didn't think I was going to like this.....but I did! Very practical breakdown of the elements of a solo. I think you kind of slid dynamics in there and I would add timing and rhythm changes but that could apply to changing the motif.

[@raffaelestea2321]

Hi Ian, Great lesson as always. Please, can you make a video to explain the rules to build two or three blues turnarounds (no licks)? Many thanks.

[@kerryc.7438]

This is something I don’t have to worry about for a long long time

[@Abdulhaqq7148]

Very nice...

[@dpwild328]

Great stuff! You always do everything in Major. What would be the bonus notes if you were doing this using E minor penta, would they be the same?

[@ShlomirBareket]

Love ya work Bucky. Never felt a bigger emotional erumption when Newman took that intercept Mark. We had some cocky Swans suppprters behind us who felt 'robbed'. First half dominance was pleasing and made the Swans look like a team who didnt deserve to be in the 8... until the second half. Look forward to ya analysis!

[@jstnxprsn]

Hi Ian. So good to see you in my feed again, brother. I wanted to let you know that I recently started jamming with my old bass player again after a couple of years and he knows my playing better than anyone. He has been very impressed with the improvements in my playing. Of course, I credited you for said improvements. Thanks again, my friend. -Jstn Edited in: Still having trouble with your leads blasting over the background tracks, making the backgrounds super difficult to hear. If you could fix the mix in the future, it would really help. Thanks.

[@saml302]

love you stich

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Love you too

[@eddiemattingly]

Hey stich awesome as always! Could u say you were working in the E mixo scale? And how would that sound over this progression?? Thx!

[@jukejointjack]

Stitch, that is a killer guitar bro please tell us about it. Thanks buddy

[@blasthf]

Is that an original starcaster back there? Great video by the way.

[@crazkurtz]

Love your videos, really helping me progress. I really can’t break from minor scale because major sounds so…… square and nerdy, if that makes sense. How do I push out past that?

[@jamespark5842]

Cool

[@Jjj53214]

The two bonus notes that you added to the E major pentatonic are from the E minor pentatonic. You basically blended the major and minor pentatonics together.

[@allenthomas834]

Do you ever use the Ionian and aeoleon scale for soloing ?

[@mrb.8446]

Wow this was like watching a wizard showing you his secret ingredients to a magical potion that can melt people's faces.

[@wakaflockasdreads]

This man always makes too much sense

[@jimmyjennings8956]

Can you play the rhythm to eruption? I been trying to figure that out fer over 73 year's.

[@1981SG]

Very interesting lesson thanks! What about the use of triads? My teacher is teaching me now to use triads for soling over the chords ...do you recommend this (too)? Thanks!

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Absolutely but using chord tones in your solo especially on fast moving music is intense. Check out my Franklins Tower Video

[@tradermaj]

Thanks for the video. Quick question. You talked about inserting some extra notes into the E major pentatonic, such as the D on the high E string. Since the E major scale has an E flat in it, I’m wondering why you didn’t use that note as an extra. Is it possible I could use both?

[@laurelrunlaurelrun]

Would be good maybe in passing back to E or play it when the progression is actually on an Eb chord. or where it is the 5th of one of the other chords being played, like the G# that directly follows.

[@olefilejthebe743]

Hi ST. Will you be kind enough to tutor me on how to solo HEY DUDE by the beatles

[@chrismccarter6875]

Preferred the sound of the f sharp minor/A major pentatonic, but would need to land on E, so I guess that would be E mixolydian pentatonic?

[@chrismccarter6875]

The only issue would be the A in this scale clashing with the perfect 5th of the D# power chord (A#), so would need to avoid the A on that passing note if possible

[@joev4483]

thanks! how ya likin' that Gretch?

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Love it

[@Lightningph]

Any more Trey/Jerry Lessons soon?

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Yes…. Kind of….😎

[@douginny]

Ian said, "Phish." DRINK!

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Doug, I have a very special video planned just for you! Keep your eyes out my friend.

[@douginny]

@@StichMethodGuitar I got a fever baby. And the only cure is...... MORE PHISH!

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Believe it or not, it’s not a phish video. Oh, the plot thickens

[@douginny]

@@StichMethodGuitar I asked you this a few years ago. Watch the end solo with Warren Haynes and Dickey Betts. It seems so spontaneous. I could never understand it. I know it's Mixolydian and the harmony I think is in fourths.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

It’s not that! But I still may do that one. Let’s say…. It’s sort of a challenge for you and your band! Mwah hah hah hah!

[@coastercook]

Thanks, Ian. Great job, as always. I think you could have talked a little bit about throwing in the Em pentatonic in there as a source of tension and going back to E major as a release.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Why? You just did😂. Great idea to try out!

[@natashahill4572]

So glad I found this video!!! Find out the secret = 'promo sm'!!!
