I can't imagine why anyone would roll their eyes are Ernie Ball supporting you. They are an excellent company who recognizes an excellent teacher when they see one. Congratulations!!!
And dean markly
Ya man. You do you, screw the haters
Make the cash brother you deserve it. Thanks so much for being a huge part of my journey Stitch Method!
I swear Stich is the best teacher around, I would love to go watch this man play a gig
Absolutely, but the problem would be that every time he played a song I'd need to pick up my guitar and work on whatever he was playing. LOLOL
He is the BEST at least for what I need to learn.
I have this personality flaw where whenever I stop getting better I lose my motivation instead of trying harder, and I pretty much quit playing for a few months until my missing playing overwhelms my lethargy brought about by my mediocrity. This video just broke me out of that lethargic state about two weeks into it. Thanks for being awesome as both a guitarist and a teacher.
He is the best teacher
This is by far the most important guitar lesson EVER hands down
Thanks!
"Nine, Nine, Nine " Isn't that German for "No! No! No!".
I agree Chuckle.
No, you shouldnât put your hands down, then you canât practice
Agree completely, Chuckle. If an almost-intermediate player can practice their way through this and have these light bulb moments, I can't think of a single other video on CZcams that can get you from this level to the next. I've improved more in a week than I did in the past year. And all the other videos that seemed too advanced are becoming within reach.
Sometimes I experience this rare, unique and wonderful phenomenon where I genuinely believe I can see directly into someone's soul. And their soul communicates with mine in such a way that I instantly gain a complete and total understanding for who and what that individual truely is and why they are here. And you sir, are as genuine and wholesome as any that I've encountered. It was an absolute pleasure to cross your path.
Just remember hes married....đ
@@skip777 lmao đ€Ł đ đ
That's what George Bush said, he could "see into" Putins "soul."
Love how he says âthis probably doesnât sound very goodâ. Sounded great! Exactly what I was looking for. Solos like this are a groove, taking us on a trip. No extra outlandish tricks and excess flair to distract. Just a straight up groove. Love it!
Couldn't agree more! Also there are different types of solo used at different times. What we just saw played by the excellent Mr Stich wouldn't sound so inspiring if used as a solo in a stadium rock gig (All the bells and whistles were missing for that) , but any kind of smaller, more intimate setting live or on a recording it would sound incredible!
I'm glad Ernie Ball is sponsoring guys like this; the more they do the more great content we get. No shame in sponsors; we all gotta eat.
I've underestimated the giving nature of people. This is the 1st video I've ever viewed on your channel and I am awestruck by the information you wish to convey through your experiences and mistakes, only people with a humongous heart can convey such information casually. Absolutely in love with it.
and a year later, when I discover the video, Chuckle McChuckle is STILL right. THANKS Stich - your stuff makes SO much sense - your style of teaching is appreciated.
I AM SO GLAD I RAN ACROSS YOUR VIDEO. IT CLICKED WITH ME. I WILL WATCH EVERY VIDEO I CAN FIND. THANKS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

I want to give you a kiss like those mafia guys do. One on each cheek. Lol. Dude, you rock! I so need to watch more of your videos, bc you teach like no other!
Agreed
đŻ
Thank you stich. I've been playing for 40 yrs and never knew the" why, or theory behind what I do " you've made it extremely easy to learn. My hat is off to you...thanks
Agree with other commenters that this is an excellent way to understand, utilize and practice arpeggi.... I mean chord tones, in a meaningful way. Now to practice the minor chord tones too! Excellent video, thank you Ian!
The greatest point in my opinion about this lesson is to not look at arpeggios as isolated, up/down the neck exercises as that approach really just reinforces a âdisassociationâ between the why and the how; it makes learners feel that theyâre somehow irrelevant or superfluous, but when described this way as, âbits of the chord youâre throwing out to the audienceâ. You can really see theyâre the roadmap to locking into whatever youâre trying to play over.
man I love you sensei. you're the best. sending love from the himalayas. you're my GURU
Finally a teacher that acknowledges, "If it's too fast, use pause and rewind". An advanced lesson can become a beginner lesson with pause and rewind; it doesn't work the other way around!
14:57 "what did we just learn? I don't know. . . JUST KIDDING!"
Love you Swami. Farmers, carrots, arpeggios oops chord tones, conspiracy theories - all of it.
Another great lesson from the best teacher on the web! You rock Ian!
Wow, great lesson! Using these 'ghost slides' into the chord tones sounds awesome, especially when using them as double-stops. Thanks, Ian!
Nice sunny vibe coming from this lesson
Yup chord tones are where it's at. I been working on them for a while. I run through all chord tones in first 6 keys in every position, everyday. It has really opened up the neck.
đââĄâ„ïžâĄâđ
what are the first 6 keys?
@@9kevtorres there are 12 keys, but i dont know whats the first... Maybe A?
You're fantastic at presenting on camera. This helps me work on improving my own lessons. Thanks for the inspiration!
Great lesson! I am going to be working this into my practice routine. Thanks!
Totall summed up what other teachers should have taught me 30 years ago! Thanks You!đ€đŒ
Your way of teaching is both fun and instructive. Great stuff.
Light Bulb Moment.
Thank you, Ian - your teaching makes a difference!
So many videos miss the key practice moment for those of us who aren't quite "there" yet.
Holy crap you read my mind. I was just composing an email to you about this yesterday. I know there must be a pattern and a way to approach these in a never lost style. You the man Ian!!!!!
Gold as usual Ian. Still working through the "Blues Master Class" but still come back when new videos drop. Thanks again.
Thanks Ian! You rock! Your videos are always easy to understand. I find I learn the most from you. You make guitar fun.
Consistently the most practical lessons I've come across. I'd like some more, please.
Great lesson... visualizing the different chord shapes is a game changer for guitar solos. The arpeggios are a tasteful addition to sprinkle in during your guitar solos. Love it!
Thank you so much for this lesson Stitch! Recently I've been struggling to find and highlight the chord tones in my solos. Your demonstrations and explanations were clear and very helpful. Now to start practicing!
GREAT lesson. Grabbing those f***'n chord tones have been driving me crazy for years. GREAT explanation and lesson. Thank you.
Thank you! Iâm at the point where I know what I need to do to be a better player and tie it all together but I didnât know how to get there. Every singe video I watch I connect another dot. Truly appreciate your time and effort.
Dude just THANKS! Iâve been watching you for years now and youâre just really a maestro. Thanks again!
This lesson pulled alot together....THANK YOU! Go Stitch Go!
Great lesson! Definitely helped connect things for me.
Thank you, the way you presented this lesson I was able to grasp the concept.
Excellent presentation and thorough explanation. much appreciated sir
the point about ghost slides is super helpful. thanks!
Love this lesson. Every video you put out gives me at least 1 (usually more) âahaâ moment(s) and teaches something that just seems to reveal a whole new world to me. I sincerely appreciate all of the free content you put out for us.
Always a pleasure to hear you groovinâ like
that. Whether itâs just 1-3-5âs or sliding in from
a b5.
Congratulations on the workshops.
Big things ahead.
Great exercise on practising chord tones! Just what I need!!!!
Awesome content finding chord tones within a chord progression coupled with getting a better understanding of the caged system plus soloing. Preciate cha
Awesome lesson! Thank you!
Great lesson! Very helpful. Thanksđ
Been playing for years and just now learned what arpeggios are. Wow, now it all makes so much more sense to this guy. Thank you sir!
Never seen this so well conveyed. Been trying to understand the approach more for a while and havenât found anything this easily digestible. Thank you.
Prodigy picks! Best recommendation ever!
Great lesson. Eye opener on the arpeggios - triads relation.
Dude, I've been struggling for years with this stuff, & you just swoop down & deliver all the goods in such a nutritious & delicious fashion! Thanks a zillion!
Your lessons have been invaluable and Iâm still in a place where you just keep tossing me stuff and a percentage sticks. Going to be a long enjoyable road. This vid for some reason really clicked. Months of caged to pentatonic but still in a comfy box, this for some reason tied lots together.
A long happy road ahead, thanks for the insight
Thanks for the lesson...awesome
Very nice lesson, thank you so much!
Great lesson, thank you for everything you do for us home made guitar players...
I really enjoy your method of teaching. And the pure joy of playing and teaching can be seen and heard which makes you extra invested in learning what you teach. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this lesson!
I've learned a lot.
This is exactly what i need to know right now! Thank you Sir!
Thank you for the great tutorial.
Such an incredible important video. After essentially learning the pentatonic scales as shapes alone, I felt ever solo I played sounded the same. I thought I needed to go down the path of modes as a way to make my playing more interesting, but this CAGED approach is helping me be so much more melodic. And the real kicker is that it's even fewer notes to pick from than the pentatonic scale but it still opens up to so much variety. Thanks so much for putting me on to this!
Brilliant. So well explained.
Love your analogies
When the algorithm works well. Glad to be here.
Great video! Really helped to have solos boiled down to their essence. I feel like a better player after having watched this video. Thanks Stich!!!
Youâre really amazing. I understand you probably read a lot of comments. But youâre really helping me achieving the next step in my guitar play. Where Iâm aiming towards. I understand most of the concepts already, only to hear you explain it extra + showing it makes it great. + you have this amazing chill vibe with you. Loving the content man!
Great lesson Stitch, thank you!
Really good video Ian, I think you finally got it through my thick head (God knows I've seen enough of your videos to have understood by now, but I'm just thick I guess) that seeing the chord tone intervals in the inversion you are playing is massive, thanks alot, this has really helped me refine the direction that I need to take.
Instant Subscribe. I have seen countless ways of soloing and arpeggios, but this was the most organic and practical.
Arpeggios. Tried to understand them several times and gave up. When you showed the g and c forms of the E and A it suddenly made sense!
There chords that connect scales, and 5ths, and 3rd and Octaves and 7ths...
Came here to say this
I have written out several long comments on your various vids, Ian, so let me jst say that you are for me, and I'm sure many others, the very best teacher on YT. This "ghost slide" thing knocked me on the floor. Thank you. Happy Holidays!!!
this bloke is the best teacher on you tube makes sense of it all
Love your teaching. Played for years, and I check out online teaching. You explain chordal notes so well, while emphasizing real melodies, and just not running notes as fast as you can. Kudos!
awesome lesson
Thank you for everything you do!
Great lesson I love arpeggios! I'm learning so much!
Great lesson! Thank you so much for making and sharing this! I've always been trying to think about the chord shapes, which just complicated things, but simply thinking about the 1,3,5 in different positions and adding on to that makes so much sense! I just can't believe I didn't think of that myself as it's so obvious! đ„șđ Cheers!
A truly great lesson, Ian. Congratulations.
I can't tell you how much it has extended my musical horizons. I've been practicing memorizing and emphasizing those cord tones and using the major the pentatonic on the tonic chord as you suggested. Then I discovered what you probably already know: the magic of playing major thirds with the chords.
Thank you again.
i found this to be highly useful and i thank you. im hoping that i can apply it to my practice.
"This is all about making music" ... I forget that at times.
this really is a great lesson. you have a wonderful teaching style, my man. big ups.
That one hit me good....thanks man!
Man your lesson videos have opened up so much for my playing. You are one of the best instructors I have started watching and I will watch four or five different guys explain the same topic just for different points of view. You by far have been the best. Thank you. I wish were a local instructor.
Great lesson thanks!
Great lesson. Thank you Stich
You're a great teacher with valuable insight
You're the man, man! Thanks a lot for this.
Watching this, combining with your recent CAGED master class video along with the Patreon practice sessions......the light is getting closer!!
Rock on Stitch, great stuff as always. Met you at LOCKN, hope to catch you at another festival / show sometime in the future.
Thanks your lesson was very helpful
I just wanna echo all the great comments below. I've been trying to work a way to 'see' the chords for a long time now. Sat down last night and it all fell into place. Genius. Thank you.
Thanks for this. It started out like music theory 101, and I am a chord based player, not scale based. But by the end, I think it has really improved the way I think about soloing over the I chord and how to break out to the IV and V. Thanks!!
Great lesson. Lots of mileage out of this one. Thank you. You have a great teaching style
very good video of using chord tones for soloing-Thank you-!!!
Brilliant. Thanks.
I find myself rewatching your videos. Some things donât stick the first time around. Great material as usual!
Great lesson! really dig your attitude. Subscribed.
Hey duder...first, your lessons are amazing! Second, speaking for the only person i can....myself...everybody, especially artists, has to support themselves so rock those sponsor plugs. Its exciting to see people succeed doing what they love and I for one am stoked to hear what you think about the gear you use...especially if its a brand who is willing to help you keep on keeping on!!!!
You are such a good teacher!
Hello mate... Currently trying to nail the Caged system so this video is bang on for me... Greatings from Liverpool England.
