Every time I release a video on CZcams, I make a series of extra content and practice sessions that go deeper. I'm adding new videos all the time! Can't wait to see you there.
Sometimes when practicing your soloing techniques and ideas we can feel like a deer in headlights. What do we do? Where do we go? In order to feel comfortable when improvising, you must practice in a way that makes you comfortable and able to retain the ideas. Using this practice method of "Flight Plans" on guitar will help you practice in bite size chunks. When you add them up, you will feel comfortable, be able to move anywhere you want, and play anything in your "wheel house". Rock on and I hope you enjoy!

Not a shredder, not a show off, but probably one of the best guitar teachers I've ever learnt from... You're awesome!
I do shred but its only a part of a larger repertoire . Shredding is fine if the phrasing is good . For me when shredding gets to long it becomes boring . IMHO phrasing is much more important . String skipping and note bending within the octave makes for great phrasing . Players like Santana and Clapton are masters if phrasing and you can feel the music when they play .
Ive been noodling on guitar aimlessy for over 10 years. This was an eye opening lesson for me. Tied so many things together. Awesome teacher!
I think this is the best lesson I’ve ever seen on YT
Agreed - unconsciously competent
Hands down.
Top 5 for me. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
At first I was like no way this is the best lesson on YT, then I watched it and now I'm like "yeah this is the lesson lesson on YT."
Totally agree! This has been the most sensible and easy to understand as well as inspiring lesson I’ve seen on CZcams or elsewhere. Awesome lesson!!
Extremely rare content being taught by the preeminent improvisational teacher on the internet. Thanks for continuing to put out amazing content and presenting it in understandable terms. ✌🏼
Glad it was helpful!
you are blowing so many minds, and more and more Brains are sticking at amps, so guitar Center Needs to invent new cleaning Tools :-)
Can't thank you enough for all of your lessons. You are helping so many people especially, people like me, who can't afford music lessons. Look after yourself and your family. Dave from the UK.
Just spread the word my man. Thanks for the kind words.
Definitely
This channel has been a constant motivating factor for my playing and I can’t be more thankful
"Unconsciously competent" -- I love that! Makes me think of the old Bullwinkle & Rocky cartoon when Bullwinkle (as a magician) reaches into his hat to pull out a rabbit, and a rhinoceros head emerges. He says, "Oh! Don't know my own strength!"
This is awesome! I love the call and response of the Am and Amaj pentas. It's like a married couple having a conversation. The wife is all positive and wants the husband to do some yard work. The husband has just gotten off work, is grumpy and trying to slide out of it. Then, you could reverse the roles, where the wife really wants it done, and is getting stern, while the husband lightens up, and says, okay dear I'll do it.
Jesus you’re a good teacher more people need to know about you honestly
I've been playing scales for months. Knowing chords for years. Finally this man showed me how to combine them, how to play around with them. In a most natural easy going way. Thank You, Master!
I loved this lesson, me myself thought it was so cool. I am really glad you liked it.
Recommended Stich Method to a kid and his Dad in a guitar store when I was buying a looper pedal. Told them Ian Stich changed my life as a guitar player and it’s hard to say what would happen if you actually started with him from the beginning! Wish I had these kinds of lessons from the beginning!
really enjoying these ideas!
This is probably the best lesson on CZcams, and I'm not exagerrating. You're like the Bob Ross of guitar playing :) You make it so easy to learn
I think the more I learn from you, the more I can close my eyes 👁️ when I play..thank you B.K.M
You, sir, are a gift. Thanks.
Never really comment but this lesson is great. Great way to get started on naturally seeing the shapes as the chords move.
This and your recent parallel modes lesson were just want I've needed. Great lessons, Ian, thank you! I've been in a bit of a practicing rut and these opened things up for me a bit. Much appreciated!
You’re always blowin my mind with simplicity. Thank you !
I love the way you explain things. I've been playing for nearly thirty years, and I wish I had domeone show me like this when I was wasting my time re-inventing the wheel. Excellent video.
Fantastic! Very insightful - filling in the missing pieces of my playing. It's like finally getting the key to the candy drawer!
This was so excellent! Thank you for sharing this lesson, I am at an intermediate level and getting into more advanced stuff but feel like Ive been getting in a rut, I know my pentatonics and some of the modes, I understand stand how the caged system works and how chord tones are used but trying to memorize everything at once and learning all this theory makes me feel like my brain is on overload lol and getting in the way of creative playing, this was exactly the lesson I needed and I had fun just jamming over the backing track mixing it up between major/minor pentatonics and mixolydian, thanks again Stitch, rock on!
These videos are incredibly helpful. So well done!
This is just brilliant, and your videos always put a smile on my face.
Thanks Stitch dig these kind of lessons!🎸
Amazing Captain Stich
Great lesson Stitch.
Very good lesson! Thanks!
what a great lesson! thanks!
best improv video ive seen man! this is gooooold!!
I love this! It sounds like you’re actually jamming with different people as you change “flight plans”.
I literally am just on the verge of searching for this! I'm currently lost and dumbfounded what was the next step in my guitar journey, thank you for this!
You're an amazing teacher! Thank you so much for taking the time your share your knowledge freely with us!
Fantastic lesson. I have cleared my schedule all day and made my loop. I am so excited to get started on this. You're the best Ian.
Excellent......Thank you! Love your teaching style and your playing!
You are awesome. Thank you for this!!! I will be putting it in my practice time this week.
Loved this lesson 🙂
Great lesson thanks!
I love your colloquial way of teaching,it really helps.
This is extremely helpful. There are so many tools an improvisor can use (chord tones, scales, chromatics, neighbor tones, substitutions, sequences, and rhythms) that it is easy to get overwhelmed by the choices, combinations, and permutations available. Your lesson provides a manageable path to learn everything without making it seem like you have to learn it all at the same time. Many thanks -- blessings to you and your family!
Really love this different approach to soloing... Great Video!
Ian, you always come up with what is needed to get to the next level. What’s more always easily understandable. Hats off to you man.
Very helpful, thanks!
really great lesson!
What a great instructor, what a great lesson !! Way cool !!
Great lesson. Thank you.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great practice ideas. I'm using this info for sure. Thanks.
Great lesson!
Truly grateful for your lessons! I send my blessings and love to you my friend
Best single lesson ever. My head just exploded. Knowing the cage system as well as major/minor scales and understanding the concept of modes, putting this into action = instant good to great solos. Thank you so much.
Thank you for a really good lesson. I have been struggling for sometime, not knowing how to learn to solo; you just showed me. Fantastic!
wow! all my questions about soloing has been answered in this video and so clearly represented. thank you so much! you're the best!
No, You Are The Best
I have so much respect for you, man. You're obviously a genuinely good person. Thank you.
Hey Stitch
I like this idea. I am excited to try .
thank you so much for making these videos
you are such a kind person your vibe is always so positive really helps with not feeling discouraged as a new player
This is a brilliant lesson. Thank you!
Great lesson. Explained ,very well .
I love the way you construct your lessons and your overall demeanor Stitch! Its enjoyable and you incorporate various ways people learn (since we all learn differently) :) Thank you kind sir!
Отличный урок. Спасибо!
I love stitch method man ❤ this is great stuff
Excellent lesson,really concise, well done Ian,
Just an awesome lesson and truly fun. Thank you Ian
You have consistently put out outstanding information for years. Thank you.
Beautiful guitar!
Another great flight plan .... I loved this lesson
This is probably what I've been needing for the past year. This is by far my favorite lesson from you so far, you are truly the best guitar teacher on CZcams.
excellent.One of your best lessons , and they're all good.
Man this is exactly where I need to put some work in. An awesome way to learn while being creative at the same time. You always have the best videos man 🤘
Ian, I have been with you from the beginning of your site opening and still loving it. You rock! This lesson is right where I am at in my journey. Thank you so much! For everyone else, stick with it and review the basics. Have fun
Excellent video. This might be your best video on improvising. Love how you laid it out step by step.
Deliciously accessible, thank you for the positive vibrational force multipliers you're adding to the world through these lessons!
Thank you so much. I feel the tumblers in my mind opening.
Another fantastic lesson. Thank you sir!!
Best teacher on youtube by a mile.I've learnt so much from your lessons ,the way you explain things makes it easier to understand keep up the good work .thanks
awesome video! very very helpful!!!! I was stuck and now i know how to approach my practices much better now. thanks!
your lessons are some of the best on here! thank you bro
When play notes within chords, I SUCK at moving from one chord area to the next. By the time I get to where the chord is, it’s time to move to the next one. So I doubled the time of each chord from two beat per chord to four beats per chord on the backing track loop. Same method, but the extra time greatly reduced the self induced stress.
Same issue here, I'll have to give that a try.
Yeah thats what my earlier instructor said
What you did there is one of the best ways to improve your playing. When something proves too challenging, find a way to simplify it. When you get it down in the simpler way, go back to trying it the regular way. For instance, if you want to improve speed on a solo, break the solo down into small parts and practice them individually over a backing track at a comfortable speed. Gradually increase the BPM until comfortable. Once you get one segment down good, start practicing it with the following segment. Over and over and over again. You can find drum backing tracks at all ranges of BPM on youtube. Good luck to all and remember to pay it forward.
Awesome lesson.
I love this Thank You 💝
This mans face is pure joy when playing
This video has cleared so much up for me! Outstanding! I am going to get busy!
There is just one word to describe this man...and that's awesome!
If I had to describe your content in one word: Authentic.
Thank you for putting up these lessons, and sharing your inspiring content with us.
You have such an incredible teaching style. You really help make things stick, and I can’t wait to give this lesson a go. Thanks Dude! 🎸
Great Lesson Ian! Looks like a better way to practice.
Simply awesome.
Wow You’ve put down so much knowledge for the taking.... And I’m taking. Thanks Again
The first video where I said to myself “so that’s what chord tones are”.! Great job!
Very good vibes, I loves the flight plan analogy in this lesson. Its a perfect example of limiting the notes you can use to expand your knowledge. Keep it up man!
Thank you for making such awesome lessons
It really helps seeing the process of how to get comfortable applying these concepts; mapping out a flight plan makes it less intimidating and more practicable. Thanks for another great lesson!
Great lesson! Thanks for sharing.
I love your smile and the joy you have for teaching. Great material too. Subscribed!
Thank you Sir ! Great stuff.Just what I needed a rut-busting lesson 👍😁
Thank you for opening up my mind!
Man I like the way you explained to us about the captain and pilot. Best CZcams teacher
Ian, I can't tell you how much this one lesson helped me stop noodling in the pentatonic and actually develop a plan for practicing. I was struggling to figure out how to solo over this very chord progression. After watching this, I put into my looper and went through three or four "plans" that gave me a different feel. Brilliant!
You are an absolutely brilliant teacher brother. Thank you so much!
Great teaching
Incredible lesson! You have a wonderful talent for teaching sir. Thank you!!
Profoundly simple yet usable method 👍👍
Thanks Stitch! One of the best lessons I’ve come across on YTube.
