👉 Some Guitar Lessons You Shouldn't Pass On👈. So Much To Discover, Its Almost Ridiculous.

[@bmcpsd31]

This is the best guitar channel on KZbin.

[@MustafaBaabad]

You are a sincere and great coach. You unleash the maximum ability of your followers. Thank you very much Ian. Cheers from Java Indonesia.

[@patrickmadden4335]

I have been watching many KZbin‘s and trying to learning the guitar for over two years, since I retired. I’ve been taught by some great teacher’s on various KZbin channels, however learning by happenstance is not my preferred method for progress. Conversely, the way you teach is absolutely amazing! I’m a very visual person and your teaching method works well for me. Most important your analogies, which tie together all of the KZbin‘s that I have watched for the past two years. I feel empowered and excited to be able to elevate myself to a higher skill level of playing music. It’s truly magical and I can’t thank you enough for your time and effort to help me and many more people like me!

[@Jim-g1z]

Without a doubt the most pleasant, relaxing, and informative video I’ve ever watched. And to boot I learned some great stuff! Thank You.

[@johnparcel1025]

So nice meeting you today in Coxsackie, NY. Your lessons are some of the best I've yet to find. Keep it up and a safe trip home.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

So nice meeting you as well! Thanks for the kinds words and conversation. Check out that neck on the Taylor!

[@DavidVaughan001]

One of the first songs I've learned. Then quickly got board with it. You just showed how to keep songs interesting. Thank you

[@adriejudd4811]

Hey Ian, cannot tell you how happy I am to wake up to this video this morning, great tutorial as always. Thank you very much,

[@chadwickpainter8212]

I dig your style man. This is the first video of yours I have seen. I'm hooked. You are a good teacher. Well done!

[@dieselman7453]

Thanks bro from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@adorablecats9891]

This was such great information. Thank you so much. I haven’t played my guitar in quite some time but I’m fixing to take it back out again; this is exciting to learn this.

[@farelli608]

7:40 "OMG! Stich was right!" Love that aside lol.

[@kenkelly382]

StichMethod Rules. You have a gift for teaching. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience in such informative lessons.

[@michaelbobson9198]

Can’t get this kind of lesson anywhere else. Thank you!!

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

How to play guitar in one easy lesson. Woah, dude, that was a masters masterclass.

[@andyb223ab]

Wow you are explaining this so well, thank you ❤

[@macanoodough]

I only ever play the song the "right" way to learn it. After a short time I want to swing, so I never play it that way again. From that point on it will be played how I feel that day and that's what playing is all about. Transmitting and energy or emotion, not being technically accurate. You still need to play well, but in a different way.

[@ianrichardson3968]

I NEVER play a song the same way twice (Unless I nave to). Mainly because I can't remember exactly how I played it the last time.

[@josephgraham1075]

That what made me start liking the Grateful Dead. I was into heavy metal and didn't even want to go inside their shows. Yes! I was young and there for the party only. Until I was turned on to some of their old bootleg tapes. I'm a 17 year guitar player that know them songs, but a old hippie man played the same cover song, but it was a whole different style then from the other tape. I been playing guitar in a band for 3 years with 2 Brothers. We couldn't find a bass player that only played what we should him or a lead singer. I started learning everything about bass guitar. I became the bass player. I'm getting of the point, but I agree with you 💯%. I would love to play some music with you sometime. I live on Maui in Hawaii, but I miss the winter's, so I visit my family in the Midwest. Look me up if you make it to Maui. Aloha

[@tomguyott2141]

Great lesson I m not getting instruction like this in my home town I m subscribing for sure thank you you for opening up my playing

[@buddyfloyd8145]

[@StichMethodGuitar]

[@ABrookfire]

[@btpatch]

Wave as you go by Ponte Vedra/Jax beach... (P.S. Tifton is on I-75 south of hotlanta. drove it yest D&Co got me home.)

[@desmneylon]

Great job Stitch!!! Thanks for making it manageable.

[@dougsmith8430]

Great lesson Ian… Creativity is the road to accompaniment! I love this!

[@briankruesi6484]

Great lesson. This is where I need to take my playing.

[@josephgraham1075]

Thanks again for a great guitar lessons. Your one of my heroes. I hope you make it to Maui one day. I sure we already pasted paths at a few Grateful Dead songs. Aloha brotha

[@steveavant9727]

Great and inspiring lesson! Next time you’re in the great state of Georgia, lunch is on me! I’m about an hour and a half from Tifton, I’d love to meet you.

[@chrisnawotniak1752]

Great Lesson, you gave me the confidence to play again. Thanks man! 😎🎸

[@RookiesCookiesAdventures]

Thank you so much for this Its a lot of help

[@themagdude]

From now on, it’s Tifton or bust! Thanks Ian. 🙏

[@TommySG1]

Great ideas to break up the normal redundancies we all run into when we’re practicing, thanks man 🤙

[@TommySG1]

I had to laugh when you mentioned driving I95! I used to do the New York to Florida run there in around 21 hours straight and driving through those states can be SOOOO boring brother, no joke ahah! ( awesome analogy ).

[@liquidsolids9415]

Good stuff. Thanks for the cool ideas!

[@god0771]

great video stitch, keep them coming

[@Whitman1819]

You have a good personality man =)

[@abcdefgh1]

I love doing with Adele's "Someone Like You", particularly giving it a Swing-style / Big Brass Band vibe.

[@Beanmcgee222]

I'm interested you should post it!

[@choppys223]

Glad I found you. Thanks for the insights

[@krox477]

Can't wait to try these ideas on my acoustic

[@goldenbrown9447]

Huge thumbs up! 👍

[@hisoverlorduponhigh90]

Stitch, you are the bomb.

[@stephenbrumlow931]

I’ve always loved Clapton’s version of this song.

[@rcd954]

Love this.

[@jjs333]

Love the neck on that acoustic!

[@44scoots]

Stitcher! Great lesson, thank you!

[@prymarts]

Spicing up the play

[@1111MJR]

I did a country version of Foo Fighters Times Like These once, sorta by accident.

[@TerryVibes]

Good stuff fam.

[@AusEco]

Thanks for another great lesson 🙏😁

[@townbeach3603]

I missed you thanks

[@guitarpoetone1]

Hey stich what fender model is that acoustic is it acoustic/electric?? Nice lesson always cool song to jam too thank you

[@MrPetepoet]

Brilliant

[@Ondho_biraal]

Hey Ian! Been following you for a while now. Love your channel. I've been learning for a year now (by myself with the help of KZbin)... I know all of my pentatonic shapes, I can jam over a given key and survive through it.. I know how and when to mix the major and minor pentatonic in my solo.. I know my major scale shape and thereby I know that starting from the succeeding note of any major scale, we get the dorian, phrygian, Lydian, myxolidian, aeolian, locrian..(i saw your modes videos).. I also have a grasp over the caged system. I know all my notes and I have ideas about movable chord shapes... What should I do next? I am feeling quite directionless to be honest.. What should I learn next? Thanks

[@andrefludd]

Looks like you've made great progress, Congrats! The one thing you didn't mention was chords. How well do you understand chords? Do you know what triads and 7th chords apply to each mode? Do you know different shapes? Inversions? Do you know how to substitute chords? Can you apply all of those questions to arpeggios? I think turning to this focus, if you haven't yet, will give you a lot of future progress. I started with a similar focus as you, but my best strides came when I began focus on chords. Hope that helps, Debottam.

[@Ondho_biraal]

@@andrefludd thanks! That was really helpful 😁

[@andrefludd]

@@Ondho_biraal You are very welcome. Keep practicing!

[@Palmdalebandit_]

Watch gnr do this song live at the ritz it’s awesome. Love your channel

[@townbeach3603]

Excellent

[@chadm7872]

Question off topic, but definitely in your wheelhouse! If I play in key of E and I play 5-4-2-4, where would I choose chord tones and solo? C minor ?

[@loganbrown3565]

Mess with the Phrygian scale (G#) and Mixolydian (B)

[@MrSupersidewinder]

Power lesson❣🎵🎶😁

[@Pharesm]

Pretty and useful and really great! Much thanks :D Only I don't know what pentatonic is...

[@sean3994]

Ian, I've been looking at the Pentatonic Scale and I know it flows up and down the neck, Pattern 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2 and so on. But it also kind of flows horizontally as well. Pattern 1 can be partly overlayed on Pattern 4, sharing the the top and bottom two strings respectively. Pattern 4 can be overlayed on pattern 2, in the same way. Pattern 2 Pattern 5 and so on. Implying a 1, 4, 2, 5, 3, 1, 4 sequence. Do you know of any way of using this to learn the scale?

[@andrefludd]

Hi Sean. I see you are thinking in terms of patterns. If you take those patterns and start to see the notes as numbers you will get closer to your answer. Pentatonic scale has 5 notes, and each of those paterns you can see as a number. There are only 2 more numbers remaining outside of pentatonics and when you learn those and how to manipulate them you can learn any scale you want. I hope that helps.

[@russelljoplin2728]

@Sean, I have a recommendation. Pick a minor pentatonic scale. A minor, for example, and play the pentatonic scale on each string. On the E string, it would start at fret 5, then 8, 10, 12, 15 and 17. Play that up and down twenty times. Then do the same on the A string: Open, fret 3, 5, 7, 10, 12. Then D string: fret 7, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19. Same on G string, start on fret 2. You may run out of frets on the B string starting on fret 10 but you get the idea. Once you've done this, play the pentatonics with something other than 2 notes per string (1, 3, 2, 4 or 3, 3, 2, 1) in order to see that the five patterns are simply a convenient way to play the same notes all over the neck. The patterns are great and important but they also become "silos" that we dwell in instead of "stairways and sidewalks" we use to move up and down the neck at will. Hope this helps.

[@edoardocosma5947]

I feel like you are a cool guy

[@quailhunt1964]

Tifton listening| Cool|

[@kurtdavidson9808]

What’s up Ian? I am really board not feeling like I’m getting any better. I need direction Ian. How do I do this? Now I’m just starting so would your site be geared up for a beginner? I am talking about starting over wipe the slate clean and follow the direction of someone like yourself. My way is not working.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

I left you a comment on the gofundme with my email.

[@zedxxx9]

That's a great sounding acoustic. I wish one of mine sounded this good...

[@wishfulfilledpermaculture]

Get some fresh strings, I can hear he has some high quality strings along with a nice guitar!

[@prymarts]

Nice 👍...

[@enzomurillo4192]

I want to be a great guitar player so bad. I’ve been asking God and the universe for it. If my prayers don’t come true though I understand

[@outtathyme5679]

You’ve come to the right place

[@FabioniMacaroni]

The only person you should be asking to be a great player is yourself.

[@MrSupersidewinder]

It has been my experience that it is actually easier to learn multiple instruments. Why, because most instruments cause strain and fatigue. If you push beyond that you can do some real damage. Mixing another type of instrument allows you to continue working on theory, timing, etc. I recommend mixing a wind instrument with guitar. Harmonica, recorder, melodica, etc. All are low priced too.😁

[@toosmoothtomoove3510]

Play every day ! It's the only way !

[@patrickhenry8425]

Practice what you suck the most at for at least half the time you Practice.

[@glyaw1]

Oy vey!! Tifton
