In The Mind Of: Eric Clapton. "Let It Rain" Jam Improvisation.

[@davidmccauley906]

Great lesson. Let it Rain also gives me that really good feeling every time I hear it.

[@seanenglish3002]

You have the best taste. The outro jam is so fun! I love that you will do anything to teach people to play. I know that you don't like teaching licks, but that awesome accompanying Patreon video with the licks Clapton actually uses makes it really come to life. You have the very best Patreon channel.

[@diller1_33]

Nicely done! I agree you can't ever go wrong with Clapton. I always feel there is some magic in his music and learning how he does it is golden! Thanks.

[@seanc.5310]

💯

[@frankstephenson1746]

What I’m finding is I’ve done all this by shear repetition just trying to get it out. Eventually nailing it accidentally. But Jeff Beck said, “you can’t plan accidentals” And your never lost makes perfect sense, your laying the map out. Thanks again!

[@esteban1487]

One of my favorite Clapton songs.

[@dannykerr7312]

Thanks, Stitch. There are so many KZbin guitar videos (aren't we so fortunate.!) and I find yours to be especially helpful. Many of us can play major or minor pentatonic until are fingers fall off and I recently finally learned all of the modes (not that I use anything other than Dorian, Mixo, Ionian 95% of the time anyway, though Lydian is kind of cool), but really zeroing in on what notes to hit as you go from chord to chord is what it's all about. I've learned a whole new appreciation for Uncle Jerry over the past few years, talk about using chords tone/notes and arpeggios!! BTW, I come mostly from the Duane Allman school of guitar and your video about soloing over Whipping Post (starting on anything other than A!) got me going on the Stitch method. Thanks, again!

[@MustafaBaabad]

Thanks alot for such a very good lesson. Cheers from Indonesia

[@cd349er]

Love the blending. Let it Rain is a great looper progression. Solo for daze. Good insights...as usual. 😎

[@Jjj53214]

Excellent demonstration on how to solo by integrating chord tones, and the A major, mixolydian, and minor scales, all in the key of D.

Wow you really can play . I might not ever play like that but l learned something so that’s always good! Thanks for another great lesson

[@nateo7045]

Stitch! No kidding, somehow you always come through with every new breakthrough in my playing. I've been looking all over on how to more effectively target chord tones with mediocre success. But the whole idea of sequencing each new "phrase" on the next chord tone up is already revolutionizing my playing, again! Such a simple concept yet soo ridiculously effective. And shoot! Hope there's still time to submit for that giveaway! I wish I knew a bit better what you were looking for but I didn't even know the minor pentatonic scale until a few months ago and now you got me feeling like some kind of guitar guru myself(; so any kind of video or positive review that might help you is the least anyone could do! That guitar is beautiful though

[@richardgentry7106]

[@lisahaubert6873]

Jim Haubert here, I teach guitar and I will be robbing this from you to teach my intermediates, so thank you, always associated just the A Major scale to this one, Mixolydian gives it that certain flavor, you're the best Ian!!!

You can’t rob anything that’s free😬! Rock on

[@davidrowe3966]

Great lesson on phrasing !!!! Nice job !!!!

[@leslawrenson]

I always tell people that if you want to learn all there is to know about how to play the Major blues, listen to early Clapton. Indeed, you can learn practically everything from the first solo in Crossroads and the whole of Hideaway (off the Beano album).

[@WorldsOkayestGuitarPlayer]

Awesome lesson as always! I'd live to see a breakdown of Little Wing the SRV version!

[@michaelthompson2404]

Great video, why does B minor pent or D major pent not get used if key is D. I still get confused as to why A minor pent and A maj pent work here too but it sounds great

[@sjt4225]

I realize this may not be up your street, Stich but just in case? WTH is this guy riffing on this song, please?? ‘My Tears’ by Earl & Duke Robards. Somebody goes off, wish I knew why it sounds so great.

thats a classic BB king style blues...great stuff

[@ianhaffenden-music7267]

Very helpful and insightful as always .... thank you...

[@GodofHunter89]

Thanks for the lesson Stitch! If you haven't watched Echos in the Canyon on Netflix you gotta check it out. Reason I mention it is because the song Questions by Buffalo Springfield heavily influenced this song as admitted by Clapton. I was hoping you could maybe look at that song as well someday since there's not a single lesson regarding it anywhere online and it's a great track. Regardless, thanks again Stitch!

[@dexter_gd3478]

Isn't Boston's "More than a Feeling" solo on A mixolydian? Oh and you were very clear. Love this lesson.

[@TMats100]

Wow, more blown away by your playing ability on this one than any I’ve heard you play before. Incredible

[@nateo7045]

I agree. I think this is probably one of his most progressive videos. In terms of the newfound insight and the application of it in his soloing. I've been working on targeting chord tones a lot lately and somehow it never occurred to me to sequence each "phrase" just one chord tone higher and higher. So simple, yet soo ridiculously effective.

[@SamlonHoldfield]

Excellent. Thanks again.

[@John12512]

Best guitar channel on youtube. Please do a Goose video!

[@tommyhunter9641]

Thank You!

[@MiserableLittleDoomGoblin]

Totally agree that this is a gem in Clapton's soloing that's often overlooked. And what a great example of how Mixolydian can provide a fun, upbeat flavor without making things too sweet like use of the ionian scale might have done.

[@granthurlburt4062]

Wonderful tone. Can you tell us where the controls are set?

Hi thanks for the tutorial. It is very helpful. What pedal or pedals are you using to get that distortion on a strat?

[@michaelfinn8110]

Hey brother. Amazing lesson. Thank you! Is that guitar a 2018 Fender American Special Stratocaster HSS in fiesta red? How do you like it? Are there mods in it, or stock. It and you sound amazing! Thank you sir.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

It is! Stock and love it! Thanks for the nice words

[@michaelfinn8110]

Nice! Thanks. There’s only one on reverb. Your words gave me confidence haha. Think I’m gonna snag it!

[@G_Demolished]

I think some of Clapton’s best playing was on Roger Waters’ solo album The Pros And Cons of hitchhiking. He does all of the leads that aren’t slide. (Ry Cooder handled those)

[@ChrisHolden]

That smirk when you get to the end of the video without dropping a clanger in the solo..... (it can't be the first time ever on camera, can it?) :-)

[@Mikeshawtoday]

So, it seems that a major pentatonic has most of the notes in that scale's mixolidian scale. Is that right? And can I use a mixolidian scale for jamming whenever I could use a major pentatonic scale and vice versa?

[@StichMethodGuitar]

You can use a Major Pentatonic for a Mixolydian Progression, but you can't always use Mixo where a Major would be, because the Major Pentatonic could be in place of a Major Scale and the Mixo would fit.

[@Mikeshawtoday]

@@StichMethodGuitar Thanks, Stich!

[@JB-rw9xt]

Dood 🎸🤘🏼

[@homeguitarplayer9482]

Great stuff, how do I know that A major moving to G major is Mixolydian and not just A moving to the major flat seven?

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Cause the internet has been lying to you🤣😳. The movement of two major chords a whole step apart is always a 5 to 4, staying in a key is the strength of music.... the term 1 to b7 is just an observation as if A was the one... it’s not. It’s the 5. Check out my videos... especially the modes videos... they explain it
