How To: "Yellow Ledbetter" Up Any Guitar Part. The Chord / Pentatonic Relationship.

[@travishalford5223]

I like how friendly and warm this guy is. Very knowledgeable also and he explains things in a way that is easy to understand

[@justinhowell712]

Yea he's like your friends older brother who would smoke weed with you when you were in high-school

[@danieljennings6144]

I know I was just saying he always looks so happy

[@bc-ys5ow]

I’m m Like

[@johnpalmer9774]

Dude, you’re literally the best guitar teacher.

[@GG256_]

Signals Music Studio is really good too for scales and modes. And people like Nik Nocturnal and Uncle Ben are great for metal scales/modes and how to transpose scales in popular metal tunings.

[@mikhail_roberts]

Your dog snoring is literally the best thing ever.

[@CharmCityPaintball]

I just learned something super useful in under 9 minutes..... and explained perfectly. Amazing

[@bioof4]

This guys personality really hooks you in he has a warm hippie vibe to him.

[@frederickthompson8686]

I must admit, my expectations for this lesson weren't high... man, was I wrong! Thanks.

[@martincox9691]

Lots of folks out there make high-quality lessons on “how to play this song note for note.” What I love about the way you approach songs is that not only do you show the “how”, but also the “why” for what is going on. I find this incredibly helpful, and far more useful for building my own techniques. I’m not a jam band guy, but your “In the mind of” series has helped make me a far better player. Oh, and if you could get the bullie to fart in 3/4 and 6/8, you could use that to explain time signatures………..

[@riffhammeron]

Let me think...Do I want to sound like Hendrix? Yes. Yes, I do.

[@red4life848]

😂😂 That's so true

[@cbredesen]

When someone asks you if you want to sound like Hendrix, you say YES.

[@uncle_rick333]

😂😂same

[@hondog71]

Worked pretty well for SRV!

[@artemisnite]

This one really helped me and I've been playing 3 decades. The Yellow Ledbetter reference was a stroke of brilliance. We could all instantly hear what you were going to teach us. Giving that conceptualization in advance made it so easy to understand the lesson. Thanks a million!

[@voteZDLR]

You can really hear the Jimi Hendrix influence in this particular song. Mike McCready basically idolized Jimi when he was learning guitar, and in particular it's very "Little Wing" ish.

[@yepper1165]

I believe he's even said this was his nod to Hendrix.

[@voteZDLR]

@@yepper1165 Yeah I wouldn't be surprised... honestly it's so obviously a nod by virtue of the way it sounds it doesn't even need to be said. Mike McCready in general's style is heavily derived from Hendrix in just about every way but this one in particular just screams Little Wing.

[@billyquiroz1974]

You’re probably the most underrated yt guitar teacher. You give so us so much knowledge and concept ideas in ways it’s easy to understand. Thank you for everything you do bro 🤙🏻

[@jontaylor3220]

I spent the winter in Silverton in 1980. Experience of a lifetime. Enjoy your time there. Jon Taylor from England.

[@4thGloryMonday]

clicked on this to refreash myself on a somg i learned to play like 20 yrs ago and came out with so much more, thanks

[@Dubble_Bubble40]

Just brilliant! This relational type of learning has really be doing wonders for me. Triads and scale shape relations seem to really be the key to unlocking the fret board and to have the freedom to improvise. Thanks Stitch!

[@StottMikel]

Some of the best method instruction w enough theory to tie it all together sans the paralysis by analysis. I just sub'ed. you are great!

[@TimAyro]

I once wrote the intro to Yellow Ledbetter accidentally and after hearing your theory breakdown of what it's comprised of, it makes a lot of sense that I did this, and many probably have too.

[@jacobmac6118]

I agree, you are The Eye Doctor. My eyes become open with every lesson. Thanks StichM

[@misterclutchabc]

That's MAGIC, Stitch! I think I'm enjoying this lesson more than l am paying attention.

[@spectatecomment7306]

Ledbetter and little wing are both masterpieces. You do a fantastic job of breaking them down. Great teacher!

[@423gtrman]

Greetings from East Tennessee. Going down to the lake and playing some music today with my bud. Will be plugging in some of this lesson. Thank you for your effort.... very helpful.

[@oliverpatrick4248]

You're the man Stitch so smooth and flowing

[@jamseypaul]

Stich, I just purchased my first Looper pedal. I was able to record a few real nice chord progressions and because of YOU, and the time I spent taking in your instruction on the pentatonics, I was able to solo over top of my loops and it sounded so pure and correct. I’m 39 years old and for the first time in my life I am finally able to really jam on the guitar. I knew where to go, I knew why it worked, and things MADE SENSE! Thanks so much brother. I love your path to understanding the guitar. I’m not Hendrix yet, but it feels so nice to have a clue dude.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Awesome to hear James!

[@Slamminbassplayer]

I appreciate the added authenticity of how it seems like he’s teaching guitar lessons from a van.

[@ericgreenfield4263]

He is

[@martynsmith6789]

Sus 2 and Add 9, i never made that connection, even as long as I've played. Mind blown. Thank you Stich for making this stuff so simple.

[@jasonmcmillan4373]

That guitar tone is amazing.

[@JohnnyBeegood1]

Best 8 mins I've spent all month. Really added some nice color to my Wind Cries Mary.

[@the-engneer]

Love that you brought up Hendrix immediately! I've always pictured in my head Stone Gossard was just jamming Little Wing and Eddie Vedder just slapped on some lyrics, but it turned out to be a beautiful song in its own right. It's a fun drunk Karaoke song because you can stumble through the lyrics, and nobody knows the difference lol

[@Timbo360]

Just heard this song yesterday on the radio and was like, “what the hell, this is Pearl Jam?!” And now I stumble on this :)

[@rayhairston7582]

Valuable tips if the student is ready for them

[@Ones_Complement]

Amazing lesson. Simple but well explained. Easily the best teacher on KZbin.

[@geraldbunner1913]

Man! You are such a good teacher. First time I seen your video. Swear stumbled across it. Saving... I like how your explanation is so simple. I will be practicing thank you

[@nickandrews2255]

This really helped connect a few dots that have not really made sense to me related to CAGED plus other stuff like how Hendrix mixes the chords with the pentatonic which I thought was like crazy good

[@doctorstrainlove6318]

LOVE the bob weir signature l! That thing is magical

[@adamdelarozza1985]

That sound and chord progressions was great. Tube Amps & Model guitars go a long way in achieving that sound too! Hendrix knew that one for sure.

[@ewokwarrior2656]

My old dashund snores, too. Sometimes I get blamed for his snoring. More often , he gets blamed for mine. Your lessons are interesting and informative. Thanks.

[@markireland-spicer743]

Wish I could do more than one like for this! Great lesson- another leap in my knowledge. Thanks from New Zealand

[@jettboy5265]

lightbulb moment ..right there ..thanks Stitch

[@askeen8796]

I saw that truss cover and stayed. I love my D'Angelico

[@londonuk70]

A true teacher and master

[@fairbairn145]

My first StitchMethod video. Great content. But even better snoring dog. Reminds me of my old dog that would wake everyone in the house up with his snore!

[@jamesng4201]

"... very simple guitar method..." haha. As someone without any musical talent, I thought this video would help me understand how guitars are played. It only made music even more impressive and magical. Thanks for sharing!

[@martynspooner5822]

Another eye opener, it is all so obvious after Mr Stitch shows you. I so owe you friend I really do. Thanks a lot.

[@OverlandOne]

Thank you so much for these great lessons. I have learned a lot over the year from watching.

[@GenMathis74]

My favorite instructor on the net by far I love your vids

[@dereka5037]

Fantastic lesson. No fluff, well explained, and very useful.

[@haydenashland5256]

The whole, 1 chord play around, 4/5 just create some dissonance, that was new to me, and super helpful! if you would make a video talking about all the intervals, and what do to for each, it would help a lot of people out! thanks!

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Already have them. Search my channel for making melodies in pentatonics

[@TrueGritProductions]

Nice vid. I like the progression because it also goes from low to high swiftly enough that I don't even think about what notes they're hitting

[@richardkropman164]

Thanks you always help click the pieces into place, or rather stitch the strands into coherence.

[@nicolaspolo3546]

Just by looking at this video I learned a lot , I've been looking for guitar teachers for a while, and you are one of the best, I already subscribed.

[@lueysixty-six7300]

I clicked to check out the D'Angelico, I already know Yellow Led better. While I never got a good look at the guitar, I wound up learning a valuable CAGED/Pentatonic application,, ala Jimmi. Good lesson 😎👍

[@DavidLaFerney]

A lot of your lessons go right over my head, but I “get” this. Cool. Thanks!

[@donnahobson9263]

I'm so glad I found you. You speak my language!

[@imout671]

My step father used to play in honky tonks in Silverton, leadville, Buena Vista. Glenn wood springs. In the mid 1960s. Beautiful area. The silver dollar saloon is still open in leadville.

[@justinkane290]

The last chord progression I usually hear as A mixolydian V VII IV progression kinda like in sweet home Alabama. But you’re right it can be spelled as V IV I in D major. Great lesson!

[@jontaylor3220]

I stayed with my cousin Chris George at the St Paul Ski Lodge. Great lesson, thank you.

[@ggar1959]

Great lesson on improvised chords and playing off the P Scale. Great many thanks…

[@LateBoomerGR]

You are the man. Just recently found your videos and I can't say thank you enough

[@glenzilla]

You are a great teacher. Thanks for all your work.

[@kevindelk]

Very interesting. I'll be able to mess around with this for awhile 😀 Thanks

[@resindoc]

Great lesson. You make it so simple to understand...

[@matthewchunk3689]

Another great lesson linking theory with good ol' rock. Peace, brother!

[@ClayAllred]

That is some really high quality content. Thank you!!!

[@theboy181]

Great video! I have never understood this stuff, and stumbled up on a few of these areas on the guitar! MAGIC!

[@EDGARDOUX1701]

What a great lesson man! Hope to see more "tricks" like these! Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina

[@joehahn8817]

It is a very useful technique as long as you use it like seasoning to enhance what you're playing.

[@hansgettheflammenwerfer69420]

Immediately subbed. Can't wait to watch all these in work tomorrow

[@hansgettheflammenwerfer69420]

Update: loving it.

[@samwheeler-brown7458]

Ian man, you're raking in about 2k new subs a week at the moment! Loving the on-the-road vids mate, thanks for all you're sharing with us

[@justinpaquette224]

It's all about the attitude in which you play it. You are thinking Hendrix, so it has a Hendrix vibe. When I play like that (which I often do) I'm mostly thinking soul music, so it has more of a Cornell Dupree or Steve Cropper vibe. At the end of the day, Hendrix got that style from soul, gospel and blue, and used his influences to help create his sound

[@kevinconnor6035]

@@kingcormack8004 He is playing the Pearl Jam lick almost note-for-note. You are right that it's a pure telecaster sound though. Unmistakable.

[@zbqb84a]

Welcome to CO, Stitch! I LOVE Silverton, such a cool place.

[@jahbay]

Agreed, especially in summertime.

[@red4life848]

So glad I was recommended your channel ✌️🇮🇪

[@danielbuhr4260]

Nice video, didn't learn all that much but it helped put it into a perspective for me, and for a lot of players this would be very educational. Mostly I wanted to say that I LOVE that guitar and am happy someone so cool has one.

This is absolutely genius! Mind blown, subscribing!!

[@wassabilly]

Pure gold Ian

[@MiSambra]

Little Wing and Yellow Ledbetter are up there with my favorite guitar parts of all time. John Fruciante's part on Under The Bridge has some parts that are a bit Hendrix-like too, although I would argue he also has a very distinct style as well.

[@crxer89able]

At 7:24 I could see that turning into a really nice riff.

[@evilcowboy]

You can get some pretty interesting sounds out of the guitar when you expand the area you are focused on. Example, combining the notes of the E and B chord together. So the scale run is literally 7, 9, 12 on the top 4 strings (yes its quite a stretch but can be done, I have small hands) then the last 2 strings are 8, 10, and 12 (you can also just skip 12 and go to 13th fret on the thin e string). If you choose the 13th fret for your final note in the run you can make it a bit longer because literally 12, 13 and 15 all sound good with a E and B chord when using blues scales in that position. you can also finish the run with an arpeggio.

[@conradgillard]

Great lesson and cool playing! :) One minor suggestion: It would be good if the very first thing in the lesson was a playthrough of what you will teach. So then viewers can tell if they already know it or not. If anyone is looking for it, it is at 7:10 in the video :)

[@kevinc9963]

Thanks very good and simple way to explain this

[@stephenbrumlow931]

Loved this one because of the concept of “ the version that didn’t make it” idea. It helps to break the song down and show its potential for what it will become.

[@HemiMedic]

Dude, your videos always help add flavor to my playing!

[@scottklandl488]

I love the snoring dog!

Jason! Email me that pic to [e-mail]. Would you believe I’m back at the lifts right now. Thanks for saying hi and the kind words.

[@crouchingturbo]

John Mayer does a ton of this in Gravity on the G and C chords, it's such a great sound. Thanks Ian!

[@CorbCorbin]

That’s what makes the change up so somber and eery, instead of just flashy chord voicings for the sake of showing off. It’s a perfect blend of accents and then very precise chords, and the solo becomes easier to play once one has those patterns in their head. I always tell folks to learn the parts to Hendrix’s 1983…through to the Rainy Day reprise, as they aren’t very difficult to play, but each shift changes the emotion and atmosphere, which can really help some when in a rut.
