In The Mind of Trey Anastasio: Harry Hood

[@erikwright2693]

at long last, a guitar teacher who's not a douche. refreshing. kudos

[@mikelh7]

Thank you Mr. Minor

[@kidguy3255]

You got the best phish and dead lessons out there . I’m glad there’s someone who decodes the methods that they use. Keep rockin’ man!!!

[@b2radio969]

When I tell my friends about "stitch method", I reference the power of five video and now this. It moves the jam if you can implement the method. Trey is my influence and I am sticking with you for all of your knowledge on guitar. Love all your vids. "Heavy Things" your doing.

[@phattskis]

Dude! At the beginning, you are staring at the same light Trey does! NICE! :) :) :) I remember years ago at a show in Missoula, they were playing chess with the crowd, and to make the move that night, the audience member who got to "make the chess move" had to guess what all the songs played had in common. Key of D was the answer. I flashed to that. Thanks for posting all these.

[@ainsleyrbaker]

Trey is always looking upward right., this guy was clearly looking upward left!

[@aggie12thill]

Thank you Ian! Your videos are so well done, and I love the Phish spotlight. Trey is one of my biggest influences, like it or not

[@StichMethodGuitar]

I like it!

[@Marqk-]

this is a great great lesson for solo's, and its hood cheers

[@gberardo6269]

Love these Phish lessons. And your positive vibes!

[@kylebeavers4121]

Wow. Beautiful lesson

[@ebitdareadthebook1535]

MORE PHISH - Thanks for sharing in the groove!

[@vikzillllla7541]

At 5:10 when you explain how the positions connect, wow! Major light bulb lit up for me - thanks!

[@matthewstundtner5224]

Man Ian , I can't wait to get home and dive into this, i am really excited!!! I've got a good grasp on the the 5 pentatonic positions and was wanting to get into the major scale What a great way to study the major scale . Thank you . I feel good !!!

[@Darkfusion280]

Awesome video, way underappreciated.

[@marooh1344]

Great lesson! This is making me feel good about Hood!

[@tensionland]

love this guy...thanks for the video

[@kentgetzin1258]

Excellent, excellent, excellent instruction!

[@onowtf13]

I showed up here for the Dead & Phish (so don't forget us!). but is have stayed because the lessons are great and I am learning new stuff - thanks Stich!

[@patrickglavin4686]

Good show. Keep it up. And thanks for taking the time

[@rayross997]

In the mind of Sean Daniel, if you dare!!! Kidding aside, these are great lessons, thanks Ian.

[@MikeDGuitar]

Man, you're awesome, Ian!

[@rileyduarte6752]

Absolutely great timing, I just started working on hood. Thanks!

[@doesleapfarm]

Great videos. I am banjo player and have adapted the StichMethod to the banjo with great success. Thanks for the great videos!

[@CuThUlUiSbOsS]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This is the second lesson of yours I've watched and as some of the others have touched on, you're awesome. I always listen to the New years 93 Hood in absolute awe. Sure I can mess around over the chord progression but it sounds nothing like Trey. Finally someone can at least give me the bare-bones on what makes him sound so mystifying! Thank you for doing what you do

[@wgutherie]

I'm here for the Blues lessons and the GD lessons, but there are great nuggets in every lesson. Thanks for your lessons they are quite good! You explain things very well.

[@JMcBillz]

Lovin it!

[@skybluefeather9271]

My dad hung out with Page McConnell in high school，so whenever you mention phish，I always think “huh my dad knows those people” anyway great lesson， love your channel.

[@warrendeanthomas]

Thanks for the amazing lessons man!!! So well explained an easy to follow :)

[@eddiemattingly]

Yes! Im in that 1-2% bro. More phish! Great lesson-jamming a hood tonight! Thanks!!

[@MrTzd999]

I started watching for the phish and dead but it's all good, keep em coming, please!

[@teyink]

Great lesson Ian. Thanks.

[@darryltham313]

Great lesson Ian! you make learning fun! keep up the great work!

[@jordanevans7546]

DAG, power of 5.. Thank you. Can't wait to get home and grab my guitar to play the magic! Please keep the phish coming!

[@nonsocialgamer]

Could you possibly do a video on the solo section of foam? The chord progression is very cool and how trey plays over it sounds super complex

[@sectorjt]

this just made my week!!!!

[@StichMethodGuitar]

+Jjdreadz24 awesome to hear. Glad you enjoyed it, Phriend

[@Michael-kl8kb]

thank you for this... me and my son both are loving watching your videos ... and yes... never forget your phish fans once you get famous :) what pedal do you use for your backing? boomerang?

You're appearance and demeanor reminds me of Neals so much man. Miss him so

[@AlissonCasagrandeGTR]

Great lesson! Thank you so much.

[@chadallen9301]

Hey man could you please go over Went Gin esp the last few minutes with treys lick that he does that hooks you in

[@derekhansen8192]

rock on

[@StephenBe]

Thank you dude. Very cool. Hope to chat with you soon!

[@jrkoosh]

I have been asking my teachers for years for this! You taught the power of 5's so easy, that I think they hate Phish and won't teach it to me. "Play modally" they say.

[@jessicajustman595]

Do you still plan to post the Harry Hood chart? I'd love to see it if possible. Thanks for all your teachings!

[@jessicajustman595]

Just following up...I don't see the Harry Hood chart. Have you posted it yet? Thanks for all your help! I love your videos!

[@abigwinki]

damn dude i know this is an old video but i love your energy. me thank yourself

[@nightshadehelis9821]

My dream is to someday play as good as you did in the beginning. I'm such a bad player and I want to get better.

[@Kingfish179]

May I recommend a "In the Mind of Trey Anastasio - Rhythm Concepts" video? I always enjoyed Trey's rhythmic sensibility, particularly his brand of funk that he incorporates into a lot of Phish songs/jams.

[@Cam-yp7cn]

Hey Ian could you do an in the mind of Dickie Betts/Duane Allman video? Allman bros is my favorite and I try to sit and go through it all myself but I still struggle. I know they hop between major/minor pentatonic and mixolydian stuff all the time over the top of chord changes. If you broke something down like Jessica or something it would be very helpful.

[@joek81981]

I need help with the 5/4ish on the proper instruments while Fish is 4/4ing on the drums. That jumpy jerky part in the middle. I dont know that any of that time sig busines is what I said it is. I dunno shit.

[@sirhamalot8651]

So, Stich, I find that when soloing over a faster chord progression and trying to hit the root notes of each chord as the chords are played, that there is not much creativity there. I find most of the notes in my solo are just the same 3 or 4 notes with slight variations and octave shifts. Any advice to get a better solo filled with feeling rather than the mechanical playing of the root notes? Love ya, man!

[@ultimate15clb]

awesome videos. thank you! do you have a looper that you recommend for a beginner?

[@donalbaineshultz]

Where do you go when the lights go out?

[@ScottS986]

Stitch, in this video you talk about using the E-shape major scale as a connector - wouldn't we also need to use the D shape hub that we use in the first Neverlost minor pentatonic video?

[@ScottS986]

StichMethod Guitar Awesome! And I just realized I think I meant C-shape hub. Well, whatever the equivalent of the form 3 pentatonic hub is. You knew what I meant ;)

[@freddiebaker1906]

Can you pleeeeeeasee do a lesson on trey "cow funk" chords(double stops) style. When he sits back and lays the groove and plays rhythm is the best. Please please please!!!

[@joshslunk5195]

Thank you, my Phriend

[@kevinswisher9813]

I have to second the Zeppelin "in the mind of " would be awesome for u to breakdown Since I"ve been Loving you.

[@vikzillllla7541]

Here for Phish! Thanks

[@azbasshead]

I notice you rarely if ever use alternate picking but it appears to be only down strokes. Is this a Phish thing or just an Ian thing?

[@azbasshead]

StichMethod Guitar I understand, thanks

[@ScottS986]

StichMethod Guitar This is really interesting and I've been wondering the same thing about your picking style. I'm reading two things here: up/downstrokes depending on timing (down for 1/4 and 1/8th notes, up for 16th notes ), and up/downstrokes depending on the direction of the next note. These seem like two independent concepts. Kind of a "Hybrid Economy" or "Double Economy" picking since I thought Economy referred strictly to choice of stroke based on direction like sweeping. This seems like something I've never seen explained before and I like it! It kind of looks like from your videos, it's usually a downstroke unless it's a 16th note on the same or higher (towards low E) string. There may be an exception to that rule for the high E string whereby you may do an upstroke on 1/4 or 1/8th since you will likely be going back up. Does that sound right to you Stitch? Would a 16th note on a lower (towards high E) string be an upstroke or a downstroke for you if the next note was also towards high E. You'd essentially sweep the first two notes, right? And the third 16th note would either be up or down depending on where the next note was? It's a tricky two dimensional equation!

[@ehripley]

Seems this "power of 5" video you speak of doesn't exist. Perhaps upload it again?

[@ehripley]

Nvm found it just KZbin's shitty layout. Videos that aren't listed you can only find if you search.

[@lawrencedeans1433]

This is where it's @

[@jonn443]

I think you might actually sound more like Jerry then Trey. Especially in your intro jam. Not a bad thing. 😎

[@isaiah30v8]

How about in the mind of Dickie Betts. Ramblin' Man

[@3xStampA2xStamp]

i was starting to lose interest until about 11:00. but then it got good

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Glad you stuck in there! To be honest, 11 minutes is a long time. You have mastered patience, a very rare indeed! Thanks for digging it.
