Phish SAND Solo: And The Dorian Mode Guitar Lesson!

[@DrOcelot667]

As someone who grow up listening to a ton of phish in high school, and now in my 30s able to replicate what he does on guitar, I cannot express how cool it is to have his methods broken down like this. I know this video is old but my algorithm is just picking it up now. Awesome work man. Thank you

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Old video, but is still get the comments 😂. So glad you enjoyed it! Make sure to check out my other Trey videos!

[@MikeDGuitar]

You're such a good teacher, Ian! I might get into Phish as a result of your inspirational teaching method.

[@JCs-Music]

looking forward to your "Master Class" videos, your video's never disappoint

[@TEScharf]

I've struggled to understand modes for 40 years and your explanation finally makes them clear to me. I came to this video after seeing the one on dorian which explained how to solo over a dorian progression. Now I have to search your channel in hopes of finding similar lessons on soloing to the other modes.

[@gregorixo]

It's good to see lessons from a real Trey enthusiast (nerd). Thanks a lot!

[@slowlearner4721]

Have to say i've been struggling for years with the theory side of guitar playing - despite all the youtube tutors. but i've had so many "light bulb" moments only having watched a couple of your videos - thank you so much. just goes to show "it ain't what you say, it's the way you explain it". great lessons keep them coming.

[@jduhigg1]

Great lesson Stich! I'm really enjoying your teaching method and check daily for new vids. Keep up the amazing work. Looking forward to the master class as well.

[@benjamingross5270]

i'm a 1.0 fan that just stumbled on to your videos. gonna dust off my prs and get to work! so thankful!

[@StichMethodGuitar]

So glad to have you! Make sure you watch my Blues Primer Playlist and My Pentatonic Playlist. Oh.... and my CAGED playlist

[@thefstopshere]

another good one. thanks. love the dancing around the 5th concept.

[@rolandjgutierrez4147]

Mr. Stitch just had a major lightbulb effect I heard it so clear the 2 modes in one da da da Da Da Da. That was a great experience for me thank you.... Roland

[@AtacamaHumanoid]

Wow, so glad I stumbled on you and Matt. Both you guys taught me more than I expected and very quickly! I'm so used to watching guys trying to teach guitar on KZbin that really can't, but you can!

[@danmccabe7435]

You're the man. Thank you so much. My fingers are sore from playing around with his one. Keep them coming man.

[@geraldpierson5883]

Stich.. you simply are one of the best!! And I don't just mean playing a guitar.. where I'm from we say that guy is good peoples!! I cut my teeth on Jerry when I started playing and delved deep into the multiple styles he used then I went to see my first Phish show at US Air arena in 95 and needless to say I was hooked. I've always said Jerry and Trey were so similar but their take on the Dorian was perfectly different. Jerry was super melodic and Trey chopped up making him unique and creating his sound without sounding like a copycat. Probably the hardest thing to do as a musician when you have so many influences is that.. finding out who you are!! Keep making videos bro!!!

[@paulcooper5748]

Great lesson the santana scale sounds great.

[@spiotrowicz33]

Your greatest quote every... "it's a minor scale with a happy ending"... lololol... so true.

[@JapanSurvivalGuide]

I loved this lesson. You make it easy to understand. And you have nice boogie!

[@ngannon80]

Great videos! I appreciate your efforts!

[@PaultheCarrot]

Thanks man I love your videos and good to see a fellow head making great lessons! Keep it up

[@eddiemattingly]

Fantastic. Love sand. Now i know how to jam over it-which i am going to do right now. Thanks as always Stitch-the best guitar teacher in youtube land!

[@londhow]

Great stuff, so helpful! Just starting to wrap my head around these modes and no better way to learn it Trey style! Thank you.

[@jrbenefieldjb]

thanks stitch!

[@jezzbass1826]

Thank you stitch!

[@theedgeofchaospodcast]

oh my god, you are awesome. and you are the clearest ever.

[@ahmedzeid4957]

Hey man , i've only known phish through your channel , i was impressed by the way you talk about them and I am so glad you've introduced me to such great music ! , could you please do a lesson for their song "tweezer" ? i am really caught by that solo !

[@arthurmee]

Thank you. A great lesson on how to apply a mode in a real situation.

[@FisVii77]

Great Job, have to check out some Phish, I really love how you point out the theory behind how and why you would highlight certain notes and mainly the reason why it sounds so good. Thanks again Ian for the Great Vids, SEAN has some competition ;) LOL I really do enjoy both of your styles of teaching. You both have your own ways of making points clear and both styles are appreciated.

[@dedhed8022]

thanks again for another great, easy to grasp lesson! still waiting on those ya mar soloing techniques ;p jk.. no rush, really enjoying the ones your posting now :) keep it rolling my brotha

[@farrell72563]

You gotta love "a minor scale with a happy ending" 4:40. LOL

[@jezzbass1826]

Thank u !

[@DIYTutorialGuy]

Thanks so much for these and the Grateful Dead lessons. You have really helped me break out of my monotonous rut! Hopefully we cross paths at a Phish show some time in the future.

[@fostervalle2483]

Dude this is just what I was looking for your like no other guy on KZbin would you be able to teach us Juilius

[@kylebeavers4121]

Jedi Master Stitch

[@mattedwards7988]

Love all of your vids. Could you one day do a whole video on the "Trey bop"? The little ditty that he always plays that you referenced in this video. Cheers.

[@pileofashes85]

Hello Ian, If you have the time i would appreciate it so much if you did a video on modes! I've watched countless videos but the teachers never seem to get to the point. All i need is a good explanation of what they are, how to apply them in my playing, and anything else you think I'd need to know about them.

[@pileofashes85]

StichMethod Guitar thank you so much!

[@rustystrings0908]

eyes of the world please! Your lessons are the absolute best and I also love the videos you do with Sean! BTW I don't know if anyone has told him before but Sean looks a lot like Paul Rudd, tell him!

[@robertjames7285]

Got it 😃

[@mhellings]

great lessons thanks. Do you have video that shows the effects you use. If not that would be great.

[@alexdale4452]

anyway I can get the backing track audio? thanks mate, cheers to the good playing

[@GMCSir]

Great insight into Phish. Love the lesson(s)! Are you using a pedal? New subscriber.

[@romani44]

awesome!

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Thanks Zach! Glad you enjoyed

[@romani44]

Thanks for the reply stich! Love that you are looking at comments from a vid you posted 2 years ago. You are obviously a great guitarist but the way you share your knowledge is next level! Hope to see you at a phish show cause ill be the stranger that gives you a bear hug out of no where

[@JDub-vd3fc]

Happy endings and premature resolution.. gotta clean up the show! Thanks this was a cool lesson!

[@CenkZappa]

Trey needs to make a double live album called "Mar Mar" that consists of all of his best solos.

[@tritontr21]

What are you using for the backing track?

[@viohamelin]

4:42

[@connelllandscaping3398]

Dose Jerry use this in "help on the way"/ Slip knot?

[@KeatonTait]

great

[@msolbakken]

Would it be correct the Dorian scale you are playing in Am7 is the same as starting on the second note of the G Maj scale? Nice playing on the intro by the way. I see you answered my question in an earlier comment. Thanks for the lesson.

[@TylerSmith-xg9fh]

what masterclass is it that focuses on trey's type of playing?

[@TinoCampisi]

at 6:17 it sounds like you hit part of the solo in moma dance

[@ColinTerapin]

What you do just makes sense to me. I am very grateful. Am I correct to think this Dorian mode works really well to fit into the eyes of the world jam? B minor 7th correct? Fun to play around in there-- this is the first time the Dorian mode has clicked for me... probably because we are just bouncing around one chord!

[@dedhed8022]

I'm pretty sure jerry mixes E Ionian and E mixolydian scales during eyes. that's where u can get that chromatic from C# to E using D and D#.. that's how i think of it anyway. oh and with allot of appegios.. maybe Mr. stitch can elaborate someday ;)

[@edwardfjohnson]

VT Native here. Grew up with them. My question is that if this is an A Dorian scale it's derived from G Major since A is the Dorian of G, right? In this case the notes being played are A B C D E F# G - right?

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Right 👍👍

[@StichMethodGuitar]

My whipping post video has the A Dorian discussion as well.

[@edwardfjohnson]

StichMethod Guitar thank you sir. You're videos are fantastic! Thank you again and happy holidays.

[@chasemcclendon9659]

I know this isn't jam band but could you do a Stevie ray vaughn inspired lesson?

[@bubba4541]

Luv your teaching style. Have you done in the mind ofCarlos Santana yet. I’ll search it. Great work!

[@pjlangford1959]

Thanks Man, modes are always a challenge, so it's called A Dorian but the notes of the G major scale, or am I confused as always?

[@PaulJonesy]

Peter Langford the modes relate to the intervals of the scale, so for G you have G (Ionian), A (Dorian), B (Phrygian), C (Lydian), D (Mixolydian), E (Aeolian), F# (Locrian)

[@pjlangford1959]

G major scale with an A root so what key is the song, just trying to get my head around it?

[@pjlangford1959]

Thanks mate!

[@kevinfollmer6618]

I've been watching your videos (which have been great) and thought I understood but this kinda confused me. So this song is in G Major (which has the same notes as A Dorian) and A seems to be your "home". What about an example where a song claims to be in A minor (A is your home). Would you just say that song is in C major but you're playing in the A Aeolian mode? Sorry if this is confusing.

[@DidNotReadInstructions]

Can't this also be thought of as the key of G Major? Second mode. A Dorian. Can't one just jam in G Major to this focusing on the A note. I really like this video. It's all perspective, no? Is that Major sixth the F sharp note?

[@Coorsgood10]

3:10

[@cryptonym123]

lmao @ 11:10 You resolved to early. It's ok it happens to everyone once in a while

[@nickg1601]

I understand why you added that note in the beginning about the length of your solo. But for those of you that have come here to learn, listening to a solo (especially one that you are trying to learn verbatim) should not feel 'long'. You need to be able to internalize it by listening to it over and over, and then you'll be able to break down and understand exactly what is being played.

[@lgp4960]

The guitar channel audio is much louder than your voice channel, this makes it very difficult to understand
