INTERMEDIATE GUITARISTS! You Don't Have To Struggle Anymore! This Works.

[@neilcampbell4833]

I've been playing guitar for over thirty years. This is the best guitar teacher I've ever come across

[@I-apologize-in-advance]

How could I be skeptical? EVERY lesson, suggestion, has been on point with simple explanations. There is not another teacher here on par with Stich.

[@ScottEmoryParksMusic]

I love the "really?" moments. A testament to your humility. You are a humble and wise teacher.

[@artemisnite]

I keep pushing for a "Really?" T-shirt.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Oh it’s comin’!

[@CSteinmo]

I know you get this a ton but you are easily the best youtube teacher ive come across in 10+ years of hopping around. You cover everything I never could put exactly into words to search for.

[@rickystuart9]

The heart of music in one video. 🔥 I’m forever grateful that I trusted you back in 2017. You changed my playing and changed my life. I can’t explain how consistently excited I am about picking up my guitar and making progress toward my goals. I hope one day to share all this work I’ve put into it.

[@kevinfairless2197]

I took started in 2017 with Stich... And it's changed my life, changed the way I play when I pick up the guitar. The way he teaches is incredible.. he makes it make sense. I went from struggling what I was reading when learning tabs. To now I can see the patterns behind what they are doing. Not to mention my own improvising has improved dramatically.

[@krystledawne]

This timing is perfect for me! I am ready to dive back in and keep growing in music. Thank you again for what you do man !!!

[@stubbzzz]

I love it! When you get into cinematic type chord progressions that are more chromatic or use mode mixture, you could swap out scales from your formula, and replace it with “intervals + chord tones / chords” I find that I end up making up my own obscure scales when I just think about what intervals I want to hear over each chord. What consonant sounds and what dissonant sounds? I use the chord tones to guide my fingers and then just find the non chord tones in relation to them. It’s like making a custom scale for each song, without having to really think about the scale.

[@RaymondCalkins-k5j]

“Sitting on a tower, world at my command” - as close to describing this equation as I’ve found words for... What a gift! thank you!

[@teleacousticplayer9386]

VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS!!! My New Year's resolution is to stop procrastinating about wanting to learn lead guitar and get going. I picked you to start my journey into this abyss :). I have been watching numerous videos from different channels and I ended up here because I see a genuine person wanting to help others, and you do! I'm not saying other channels on here aren't genuine in wanting to show the truth about guitar playing, I just really like your mannerism/character /personality as a person and I just sense that I won't be wasting time trying to figure out where I am suppose to start with guitar playing. Thank you for you!

[@7931anthony]

Thank you so much for your lessons. I’ve been playing for 30 Years and I have never felt like I understood the guitar. I have plenty of tricks up my sleeves but I’m far from where I want to be. I think I will learn a lot from you.

[@kevinfairless2197]

You definitely will.. watch his masterclasses, and learn his CAGED method... It'll change your life if you're wanting to learn how to sound good on guitar

[@7931anthony]

Thank you. I will definitely check out his master classes.

[@floridagolfinstruction8814]

I will definitely be looking for more...as always, thanks Stitch! you have made guitar very clear for me for over 5 years now

[@aaronbennett1266]

Your a wonderful and great teacher my friend, after 26 plus yrs, you've made my journey much more intense and challenging ❤ty

[@stormy_johnson1555]

As an intermediate player at best, I always feel like most of the videos I see are for beginners or advanced players. Thank you for putting together a program that can help drag us intermediate players out of the hole we find ourselves in. Thanks you!👍🏻✌🏻

[@lynfox1533]

Ian, Im guessing we subscibers are literally sitting on the edge of our chairs with excitement and anticipation! Cant wait for these, thank you!

[@thefishrustler3893]

I’m the intermediate guitarist you’re talking to. 54 years old and my skill level does not reflect the thousands of hours I’ve spent playing over the last 30 years. I spent 2 decades resigned to being a “campfire player” and it’s only in the last year that I have reignited my desire to become more…to understand more. I have spent hours and hours pouring through youtube videos for the last year and have learned plenty but I feel like the way I’m learning is very inefficient. Scattered and unfocused. I hate it, because I really want to learn and grow still in my music but I feel the clock ticking. I like the idea you’re putting forth with this video. I WANT to believe. Subscribed. We’ll see. 😊

Welcome to the 54 and intermediate club!

[@boomerdell]

Ian has never let me down, not even close, and I am ALL IN on this. Yes!

[@mijoperkovic8074]

Looking forward to this. There is something soothing and calming in a way where you explain how music makes sense for you and it can make sense for us as beginners. Nobody else talks about this... Making foreign language more familiar for beginners, thanks !

[@danthegeetarman]

Very cool. Out of all the people on KZbin you have the best way of breaking down the guitar in a digestible way. Looking forward to the future videos for this concept

[@stevebelcher1527]

Been watching you for a long time dont see any reason to stop and im anxious for this new slant because you seem to explain everything better😊

[@pageluvva]

This guy gives me hope. Thanks brother, I am with you on this music journey

[@jwuman]

Good stuff,,,,thx for all of the straight up, no frills content.....u are a great teacher!!!

[@mrbjengel]

I'm excited! I watched one of your videos a few months ago, and for once, I finally understood something about guitar theory! Im really hoping that some day I understand what I'm doing on the guitar! 30 years is too long to be stuck. Thank you for what you are doing. We all appreciate you!

[@darkomtobia]

This is infectious excitement right here, folks!

Nice way at looking at it! Don't forget that blue note in the blues ( 4 sharp or five flat).

Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten😉

[@marcoponticelli3060]

Sir it is insane thank you , I was learning the arpeggios watching your old video and I was practicing each chord shape tones with the associated pentatonic scales and mixing them up and was wondering if that was the way and you just did show it ! Thank you

[@krtkllr70]

Excellent, can't wait.

[@rhettevans4592]

This is genius Stich!

[@teleplayer7081]

Wow!!! Seriously??? Man, I already have the utmost respect for you and your knowledge and now your doing this for us!!!! I am in complete awww😮, and so extremely excited to follow this. I haven't begun my journey yet, where I have been wanting to learn lead guitar and hopefully this will be the place to start as my head won't be clouded by stuff I could have been doing wrong. You are truly appreciated SIR ❤

[@sonandar]

[@markwalters7498]

Holding a Strat just feels so natural

[@robertlukas3036]

I'd suggest you add a "T" (CHT for "chord tones") over the line. Having CH on top and on bottom makes some who use algebra want to cancel the two CHs out and remove them.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

I was thinking of that too. I’m sure it will change a bit as I tweak it for the masses

[@robertlukas3036]

​@StichMethodGuitar But as always, a beautiful concept to convey an uncomplicated approach to what many find hard to comprehend!

[@StichMethodGuitar]

@robertlukas3036 so, I have had many different forms of this , one that included at Delta to represent movement and rhythm, but like I said, now it’s a little more developed and it might change a little bit… but I should definitely solidify something so I can make the merch!😂

You earned my trust a long time ago with all your lessons that are responsible for countless eye-opening "ah-ha!"-moments when it comes to guitar playing. Thanks for all your work, I'm glad you're finally back with regular uploads. Small side note: I can't help but notice how I liked your previous background better... Those guitars looked great and it gave the videos a "lighter", more friendly feel. This background seems a bit... gloomy? Just my 2cts. Looking forward to your upcoming videos!

[@surfside-hj2ue]
