What If Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Garcia and John Mayer Soloed On The Wind Cries Mary? Guitar Lesson

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Ok, the Chart is Here! $1.49 goo.gl/J8txWK It has the Full F Major Pentatonic F, Minor Pentatonic and F Mixolydian all down the neck, and includes the scales for each style for Hendrix, GD, and Rock/Blues for each chord in the second half of the progression. Backing track is here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHioq4enaqZ0oa8 hope you enjoy!

[@gavinb144]

This lesson was AWESOME. So much theory and tearing apart a solo. So much to learn from this. You're the ONLY person on KZbin that really understands how to teach and apply theory to real songs. Ugh, can't praise you enough for this.

[@ravijeetsingh7174]

You're so good man! And you have a great heart for sharing this with us all 🙏

[@davemurphy202]

you're the man, dude! there's nobody on youtube (or even in real life for that matter) who's contributed more to my ability to play. I stopped playing guitar for about 6 months after 4 years of playing cause i just felt stuck in a rut just using the blues pentatonic and the same old phrases over and over until i stumbled upon your page. Everything from modes and general improvisation you've made me fall in love with playing all over again. Thank you so much for sparking my love for playing! Wish we could jam some day! keep it up man

[@jerrywilson4371]

One of your best lessons dawg! Really dug it. I must be a blues guy cause I thought the minor pentatonic was by far the best sound over that progression. I really like these nuts and bolts break downs of why things work. If I had any money I'd send you some of it

[@mathewbrown9371]

Honestly man, this was one of the first solos I had learned back a few years now, and I kind of understood it, but this really opens it up in a big picture way, thank you very much! Keep doing what you're doing because it's making a big difference to people like me who want to grow musically and spread the "sounds" as Hendrix might say.

[@jimforgrave6365]

This was the perfect lesson in my book. I'll never understand why other instructors don't explain what scales are being played over the chord changes. I couldn't care less about what finger, string & fret was played on the record with no explanation, I'm here to learn WHY. Anyway...You got a new subscriber today, thanks.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Thanks Jim! So glad you enjoyed the channel! Welcome to the club.

[@wildparlor5456]

Great lesson!! Finally someone who dives into the theory and helps us get into Jimi's head. Teach a man to fish!

[@CCChinaRider]

You should name this lesson The Wind Cries Jerry

[@luckyfamilyman]

Jared Bilton 😂 I see what ya did there ;-P

[@LOQUITAA2]

😀😀😀

Jared Bilton *AND THE WIND CRIESSSS JERREHYYYY*

[@chrislaing7108]

Extremely good way to get those concepts across, great lesson style here man

[@inkblotgaming5080]

Man your content is always so amazing and practical. I have been playing guitar for almost 20 years now and I swear I have learned more in a few months with your vids than I can ever recall.

[@Jameswaynemusic]

Man this video ( along with all your other videos) opened my eyes to so much from theory to note selection. I can't thank you enough for what you do. Your videos have gotten me over my plateau.

[@jeffrey.a.hanson]

You’re the best teacher in 2018 and now in 2022.

[@brianmcgee3580]

Your such a great teacher..ive been playing for about 10 years..but just by 👂. But now I'm learning the right way..the Stich way thanks Bro.

[@alexmonras1572]

I just discovered this channel and I love it!! I love how you give the theory background to the song rather than a meaningless soup of fret numbers. Really cool!

[@lamgefyoutoob]

That was flat out genius. The Garcia and Mayer examples show how the StitchMethod really works. This lesson puts all that theory into practice - so rewarding! Thank you!

[@doggy7210]

Epic! Thanks Ian. Love Hendrix, love the ideas. You're the man

[@keep_it_real26]

Ian...thanks so much..this is a brilliant lesson for me as I am not into copying songs note for note..wow you have made my day and opened my mind to so many possibilities ..peace

[@bearafc]

Wow!! You said at one point 'I hope this lesson doesn't suck' No way - this is EXACTLY the kind of thing I have been looking for. Thousand light bulbs just went off in my head. Many many thanks!!👍🏻

[@luissantos220]

That's a true lesson! Understand concepts (chord progression and scales) to make beautiful songs your own! Imitation sucks! Thanks a lot!

[@harryanderson9662]

I am getting so much value from these "in the mind of's" Thanks!

[@evanstheframe]

Hi Ian, Working my way through all your stuff as it seems your the only guy that makes it both fun and very informative. I've done the Neverlost but my main struggle with this video (don't panic it's not your explanation) is seeing where the next scale is on the neck for each chord change and jumping to it seamlessly. Maybe it's just I'm an old guy learning so things are a bit slower on the uptake lol. Keep up the great work Stitch, your making learning fun again. Lyn.

[@HansTalentShow]

This is the first lesson that has help me a lot in a while. Great job man.

[@thomasdaniel6495]

Thanks for this video,it gives me insight.Im not good enough yet to implement all of the ideas that I have learned from,but I have learned so much.Enjoy your style of teaching,keep up the good work,and I will keep trying to implement the things I learn.

[@bigharpo1]

Unbelievable lessons. Thanks for spreading the sunshine brother. Can’t than ya enough

[@Ryker9]

I’m here to understand how did that C# minor pentatonic lick worked beautifully Thanks Man

[@stewea57]

great insight Ian, sigh I don't know if I'll ever get this. I'm going back in to the blues master class. I just can't think/react fast enough. The genius in all this floors me.

[@JohnnyBgood548]

Best teacher on You Tube!

[@KevinIlsen]

Yeah . . . this video right here is why you're the best guitar teacher on KZbin.

[@NickJardine]

Love your approach and style of teaching... youtubes crowded with people showing note-for-note lessons on songs (which is fine) but this is refreshing!

[@silixtuhibiski95]

Great lesson there, man. Keep up the good work!

[@chrisgorogmusic]

Brilliant lesson. You’re amazing!!!

[@jukelong3494]

Will take me a while to actually get it kind of right, but that is what i love about your style of teaching. Thanks again

[@msolbakken]

I like the Hendrix version using the maj pentatonic until the Dbmaj chord where he switches to the minor pentatonic. Just the right amount of bit of bite and dissonance with the flatted third to end the solo and start the verse. Nice lesson!

[@amirkc685]

What a magical instrument to play...gr8 lesson bro.

[@DanSZiegler]

Yahoo! Hendrix, baby! Yes, please update with chart and backing track. Those are SO helpful! Thanks Ian - you rock!

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Chart is up.. hope you like it! Let me know.... I just want to make sure it flows well. Rock on

[@benevans7406]

Dude your way of teaching actually connects. If I ever win the lotto I’m hooking you up lol.

[@deansley174]

Best lesson on the web. Than you!

[@teishanichole]

unbelievable lesson for intermediate players!

[@shadowscott9910]

Great lesson, nailed it. Some things to go revisit with this in mind....

[@swampduck2609]

How could you not click that title, c’mon. Much appreciated as always.

[@69sidewinder]

It don't suck! Great lesson, as always Stich!

[@sam.noster]

Keep these lessons up man! So sick and makes me feel that little bit closer to actually understanding this music thing lol.

[@NemohHoes]

18:05 almost pissed my pants. Got my laugh of the day :D It does not! So extremely helpful you can't even imagine. Thank you

[@janlukic]

I recently started listening to this snong and i really liked it is so emotional and really great composed ...thank you Ian

[@Lochrie]

Great lesson - thanks so much.

[@twinturbohenry]

Wow! What an amazing lesson!!!! Brilliant.

[@dudester01111]

That was awesome. Thanks dude.

[@MrRonique]

Love this video, it's not long if you're not a beginner and you're already improvising in jams. These kind of videos are a lot better than than that guy who looks like a soap opera actor 🙃

[@drchill8837]

...And my brain goes, "kapow!" Thank you sooo, sooo much for this brilliant 20 minutes.

[@zarbog8618]

OUTSTANDING! 'Nuff Said

[@jasonkeith9317]

Love ur in the mind of videos keep 'em coming!!!

[@garyjford1981]

This lesson far from sucks, one of the best ever, shows the versatility available when writing solo’s. This will break a lot of ruts people may find themselves in. It’s expanded my thinking and understanding and gives so many options!

[@ShlomirBareket]

Good one Mr.Stitch. I stictched you up $1.49 to download the notes! They are very handy takeways, Cheers!

[@meanevilconservative]

Another excellent video. Thanks, as always. I really do appreciate it.

[@andrewb8914]

Simply the best!

[@justryd]

One of my fav lessons

[@brianduplessis2072]

This lesson is beyond helpful, but SO frustrating at the same time! I hate how easy you make it look to switch from pentatonic (the only scale I know) to mixolydian and diatonic (two scales I'd love to adapt)! Can't believe how Jerry that sounded!!! Great lesson, Stitch ~ True Fan from Mass...

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Not trying to sell the chart, but the chart has all the scales in visual form, and it’s pretty bad ass. Rock on and thanks for the kind words.

[@joerye6271]

Totally loved this one. BIG thanks!!

[@robertYTB78g]

Thanks for posting - a great lesson that has helped me a lot :)

[@HBSanta]

Thanks, very well explained.

[@adamkorner1651]

The soapbar is back! Thanks for another upload stich!

[@the195111]

great advice..'play it in my style',good stuff again Ian,people, find your own style that suits you

[@townbeach3603]

Great lesson thanks

[@AakashSrivastava13]

wow that jerry garcia solo was sweet!

[@drewtullio2385]

Super interesting stuff Ian, I dig.

[@BigJoeThrows]

Awesome lesson! Would love to hear more songs, in style of other artists!

[@vondoom2876]

Best lesson ever....

[@chuck.rowland]

Awesome lesson! Thanks so much!

[@ieldepiel]

Really great stuff ian

[@jackshields1028]

You are the man. Could you do a lesson for guitar players stuck in the shape/ear mode of playing. I have been playing for 11 years and sound good, but feel set in my ways. I have no knowledge of theory and don't know where to start to open up my playing. Thank you!

[@brianmcgee3580]

Wow just wrote a similar message..lol I've been playing for 10 by ear

[@johnnydeeme]

Just ask Hendrix... lol. Great video for sure. Like the Althea one as well!

[@Schoolprojects221]

Very cool! Subscribed

[@RLB52]

Great lesson. The minor pentatonic version sounded Eric "Clapton-ish" to me. I think I like the Jimi H version best. Thanks for expanding the song.

[@msgbball]

Great video, thank you. If the key is Bb, is there a good option just sticking in Bb major/minor? Thanks

[@desmondknapp]

Ian, you are the best!

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Thanks Jeremy! Glad you enjoyed!

[@jukejointjack]

Another great video brother

[@pdcorlis]

Ian, this lesson does not suck... in fact it’s an eye opener! Must rewind... Must Rewind...

[@mrbillygebbie2586]

EXCELLENT TEACHING THANK YOU BILLY G.

[@EclecticEssentric]

Amusing and informative.

[@JonasGovaerts.]

Great lesson man ;)

[@mattbovee2587]

Ian, outstanding lesson, and great comparisons of choices that result in diff cover styles. Thanks! Resulted in some great "Aha!" learning for me. You've done a bunch of "in the style of" videos. Is there a place for more this type of video, showing how different soloing choices sound like other specific artists doing a cover? What about the inverse approach, too, where you stick with a specific, immediately recognizable solo melody, but use different chord structures with it?

[@peterward9446]

simply brilliant - thanx!!!

[@chet2020]

nice lesson. i saw hendrix live in honolulu in august, 1970.billed= band of gypsies w/o miles on drums. could you do a study on johnny winter's stylings on his version of "memory pain"?

[@vincenikolai]

Downloaded the pdf. Now i just gotta figure out how to use it properly.. i am in between a beginner and intermediate.. love your vids!

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Vince Jose so how is it going?

[@vincenikolai]

StichMethod Guitar Hey Ian, hope all is well... i have not really gotten into this song yet, but I have been following your neverlost system and learned how to navigate the neck using all the 5 shapes (althought just in the key of Am for now).. I am now also able to do simple solos using some Am backing tracks from YT.. Also, I bought the 1st part of your Udemy course. Thanks Ian, you made learning the guitar easy and fun! Still laughing at the thumb with a smiley in the other video btw LOL! Keep safe my friend.

[@ardenstrat]

extremely helpful

[@georgemcmurray6664]

Hey it's George from wanee, great video! Really helpful! I really want to learn how to Solo over GDTRFB

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Hey George! It was awesome meeting you! Let me see what I can do as per your request. Rock on brother

[@joshuajohnston8452]

This lesson made me woke on this solo !!!!

[@СуперПупер-щ9ч]

Спасибо! У вас очень приятная подача материала.

[@jimmunster57]

In b4 100k Views. Thanks Stitch. Great video

[@jasonkeith9317]

The pentatonic scale is God's gift to guitarists!

[@MrJamlee88]

So, I loved this video, it was great. I had to watch it twice - and try a few of the leads. Here is my question: If You wanted to sound “Allman” over this progression, could you have played Dorian? Would Phrygian give you a heavy metal version? I have heard you say that the greats knew what they were doing - but is part of “their sound” just liking a mode, and being predisposed to selecting it most of the time? Or - am I over-simplifying?

[@scottbradley5482]

Excellent. The bar has been raised - again. Did you just sneak in a modes lesson into this lesson? Thank you.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Shhhhhhh

[@OmnipotentO]

That's something I never understood until this video is what scale is appropriate. Do you keep switching with every chord? Can you just use 1 scale for the whole thing? But I guess multiple scales are perfectly okay at different points in the progression and it's more about what kind of sounds you want out of your lead playing. I never seen it explained so plainly and simple like this. Thank you.

[@caleb8075]

I appreciate you my good sir

[@jezzbass1826]

WOW!

[@sagig72]

This is one hell of a lesson. One of the best lessons that combines theory and demonstration. Great lesson. I do have a question that I failed to get though: if the solo progression is based off of 5-4-1 (F-D#-A# respectively) then the 1 is A# (not F). I'd expect the solo to be in A# pentatonic (major/minor), yet it's in F. Why is that? Is the progression over the solo still in key of F like the progression during the rest of the song, has there been a key change? Some explanation on that will be appreciated.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

I explain this in the video, even though it is in the key of A sharp, the song starts on the five, so home is the five, and the scale that would go with that, would be the mixolydian scale, but if you don’t want to use a modal scale, You can use the pentatonic depending if your Modal scale is major or minor, you can just use a major or minor pentatonic respectively, this avoids any modal responsibility but gives you the correct pentatonic scale to solo with. Hope that made sense, again this video is about just that, soloing off of the 5 chord.

[@sagig72]

Oh , now I see the point! Thanks for replying this fast. I hope you wouldn't mind me asking a follow up: I guess it's not always that the first chord in the progression decides on the Modal scale. I thought almost always the 1-tonic is the key and the landing spot. What should tell us that a progression is in some other Modal scale and not the tonic? Is it always or mostly according to the first chord in the progression?

[@StichMethodGuitar]

It’s the home chord that defines the mode. Watch my Truly Understanding Modes part 1 Video.... that will help.

[@sagig72]

:) Thanks much. I'll watch it, absolutely.

[@leslawrenson]

Caught this late. Great analysis!

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Glad you enjoyed! All I ask is you spread the word

[@leslawrenson]

@@StichMethodGuitar I have subscribed, which is the next best thing.

[@jammergreg]

Very cool. Doesn't suck at all!

[@crashbassfire]

Thank you for this lesson. I have a question though. The song is in F Major. I get where using either the F Major or Minor pentatonic is appropriate, but why would it be in Mixolydian (V) Mode if you wanted to go the Jerry Garcia route? Wouldn't F Mixolydian belong to the Bb Major key and F in this song would be Ionian? I'm sorry if this is confusing but I'm stumped no matter how I've tried figuring this out. Thank you again for your time.
