So!!! When I was demonstrating finding the key, I started with an F#m, but my brain kept saying Bm, doesn't change the outcome, but just wanted to say yes... you heard me say a different chord name. Sorry about that. Also… PLEASE share this with every musician you know. I truly understand the power of this chart and there is still so much to show you! This chart is a combination EXISTING ideas from all over the musical world, combined into one easily digestible chart. Even if you know all the ideas from previous knowledge…. Here it is in one easy to understand diagram that I designed. Rock on
Maybe pin this comment so it doesn't get lost. Thanks for the great lesson!
I thought it was pinned already? Just did it again👍😉
@@StichMethodGuitar It's now pinned , thanks again.
Ian no doubt one of your best lessons! Really this will set you up to play in beast mode
This. Is. SICKKKK!
My head is swarming, it's like everything your buddy who isn't that great at guitar has tried to explain that never made sense, all in a package that can actually be comprehend. You rock brother🤙🏽
You explaining which chords starts in the scale determines what scale it is, and how it becomes modal progressions was the biggest aha moment from CZcams I’ve ever had, thank you so much stitch!
very cool!
take all my money. it's not much but oh my God where were you when i was learning guitar a million years ago?? i have recently picked it back up after giving up about 20 years ago. sad, i know, but very true. i'm so unbelievably grateful for you and your channel. at 50, i'm learning all the things i didn't learn at 15.
Ian,
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been working on memorizing the circle of fifths and trying to create a good practice routine to cement it. This is a phenomenal tool. As always, you da man! Looking forward to the Patreon practice sessions.
AT LAST !!!!!! something that finally makes sense to me, and your presentation, your pace, your tone your mannerisms are just perfect, you held my attention completely throughout I would say that you are a natural teacher. Thank you.
Thank you Ian, for your shared love of music and the instrument.
This sheet has a lot of value, it's a great labor and grand achievement a I'm lucky to have access to it and will be using this material.
Some time ago you taught me to build chords from the notes of the major scale.
Your lesson changed the way I saw the SHAPES I was playing on the fretboard. Now each point where I press the string to the fret is a note, that can be a root to build a chord from.
This sort of lightbulb moment is part of the journey and you have given so much to me as a player and the guitar playing community that I'm sure I'm not the only person who is grateful that you are with us.
Thank you.
I never thought it would happen but I’m thoroughly enjoying the theory stuff you present. I don’t always understand first go round but it all becomes clearer eventually. Thanks so much for doing what you do. Definitely my favourite guitar channel on the ‘tube. 😊
Seriously, you're the best! Fantastic content, great personality. I learned so much since I found you on CZcams
Ian you have outdone yourself. As a super dedicated Stichmethod student you have change my musical life in so many ways with dozens of your videos. Seeing you grow over the years has been truly remarkable. Soul, spirit, intellagence but this Ian.....this is mind explosion. One of the very best of you efforts. Wow!!!
Thank you Morey, means a lot
Very nice reworking of music theory I’ve known for years. The biggest revelation for me is borrowing chords from adjacent keys. This is something I’ve never encountered in any other source on the subject. I’ll be using this chart often. Kudos!
"The biggest revelation for me is borrowing chords from adjacent keys" and the reason for this is the following: adjacent keys have the smallest difference in notes (e.g. on the cycle of fifths, the previous key to any key will have a sharp less, and the next adjacent key will have one sharp more). This means the chords on the previous or the next key will share 6 of the same notes with one between them, and will only differ minimally, so will be a good harmonic fit to borrow from (compared to going to a key that suddently has many different notes from our key).
Really cool concept Stitch! Love that it’s all right in front of you
This is just crazy good content. Thank you for doing what you do.
Also, love the style and continuity of your videos and teaching style. Thank you and you’ve got a new subscriber!
Really amazing chart and explanation, Ian. Thank you so much.
Thanx for the condensed chart, it does indeed help having it out while practicing stuff . Its good to learn everything and then "forget" it all and just feel and play...again thanx
Another lightbulb moment for me. Thank you Ian for this lesson. I've purchased the sheets. Along with you're improvisation lesson I've a lot of practice material for a while. Keep up the good work 😎👍
I don't know how I ended up here, I never really played an instruments yet but I want to, and you seemed like someone I wanted to hear out; I'm glad I did, I understood 100% of what you said and now I feel like I can write music. I'm going to get the charts!
This is a fantastic tool, man. So clearly organized and very well explained. Thank you for this.
Dude, this makes me so happy to hear! Thank you for your enthusiasm and I’m so glad you like it.
Brilliant alternative theory.Borrowing chords does my head in,not now.Really enjoy your lessons and your passion for teaching.Thank you
This is the single best CZcams video on theory of all time. God bless you sir.
Thank you, Stitch 🙏
Things seem to make a whole lot more sense with the Square of Stitch.
I appreciate the sheets 🙏
Be good to you
Thank you for this lesson, it is very helpful, and these charts are a great summary.
Stitch! In the space of a year I’ve gone from knowing a bunch of songs on guitar (after about 5 years of playing) to actually knowing THE guitar. You’re a certified angel and my life will forever be changed thanks to the simple and understandable AND egoless way you can explain things. Many thanks from Australia.
The only person I’ve ever supported on patreon because I’m more than happy to some money for your effort.
What is egoless?
I am a beginner and been so frustrated so far trying to improve but your way of teaching rings home so I want to thank you thus far. Absolutely amazing work! Thanks again
yessss, I made myself a similar chart just to learn triads but yours is more expansive. thanks for this.
Great! Such a nice lesson. And the beautiful ambience really passes on through the video
Love this! Best representation on how to borrow chords from different keys! Thanks!
Your the only one who made me understand the circle of 5th's. You also help me understand the different names associated with the major scales such as Ionian, Dorian(which is the pententonic scale) and so forth. Thank you so much.
That’s why I made this video. I intend to make a video explained how the circle of 5ths has been revised so much over centuries, it’s barely recognizable
@@StichMethodGuitar They should scap the old version and go with yours. 👍👍
Well, Dorian cannot be the pentatonic scale. Dorian has seven tones, pentatonic obviously has five.
@@fullrangeguitar177 Pentatonic (5 tones) is just without the 2nd and 6th from the Minor scale, but the Dorian (2nd) mode of a Major scale (ie. C) just is borrowing notes (ie. C# F#) from the next major scale up (ie. D).
@@skylark8828 Perhaps you've already seen this, but for anyone who hasn't...
The seven note scales of the major modes - Ionian (aka Major), Lydian and Mixolydian - have five notes in common - this is the Major Pentatonic scale.
The seven note scales of the minor modes - Dorian, Phrygian and Aeolian (aka Minor) - also have five notes in common - this the Minor Pentatonic scale.
Thanks a lot, mate! Surely helped me loads. All the best to u.
I really like what you did! I will be working on this a lot! Thank You!!!
I've found that every so often, I'm due for a significant leap forward in my understanding or skill as a relatively new guitarist. This lesson was my leap forward and, brother, was I due! Thank you so much for this most awesome and powerful concept! I just ordered the Square of Stich sheets and printed them out. Now to practicing...I know these tools you've taught will be the start of my next technical leap forward :)
Mind blown. I FINALLY understand where you use modes! Great as always. Thanks Stitch
You are amazing! You have taught me so much in a very few minutes. Thank you.
This is awesome, genius. I'm purchasing the chart. Thanks Stitch.
Amazing charts and fantastic explanations! Thank You!!!
Holy. Crap.
I've been trying to put together a cheat sheet like this forever and honestly, this is WAY better designed then mine... XD
How is this channel just now showing up on my feed? I’ve been researching guitar methods for a couple years here on CZcams. Stitch you need to remind people to hit that like button. I know it’s cliche but I think it helps. I definitely could have used this channel sooner.
Thanks Ian, this is a great way to understand basic music theory. Well Done!
Just when I managed to get the circle of 5th to click. But knowledge is power right. Have to say, I loved the adjacent key idea. All I've ever know in the past was the relative minor, your "Square of Stich" really makes this clear.
Awesome guide!
I was in Maine recently too.
And thanks for 'Brokedown Palace', one of my favorites!
Wow, what an amazing reference tool. I have been struggling with theory as long as I've been playing and this easy to understand chart solves it all. As long as you are in Maine, come to Hempstock in Harmony a week from Thursday. The dates are 7/21 to Sunday 7/24. I missed you at Northland, day late $ short, would love to see you there. We jam hard!
The 'Square of Stitch' is great visualisation tool man. Thanks for sharing! 🤘
Stiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch, this is the business!! I think you have just made my songwriting waaaaaaaaaaay more interesting, I feel like ive always been able to tell a good story but maybe musically was a bit predictable as i was never quite clear on borrowing from other keys and such I just tried this out very briefly and it changes things up rather nicely. you are a legend !!!! thank you
Excellent-simplifies and summarises so clearly!
Amazing! Thank you, Ian!
Dude this is the holy grail of fret board reading it is the magic 👍😊
Beautiful and clear. Thanks
Hi
Your Square of Stich chart is a very practical and useful concept, It will help me with learning both guitar and piano -I’ll keep it handy!
I learned a lot today. Nice and accessible. Thank you.
Love this thank you Stitch. I never realised that modal chord progressions were derived from the starting chord in a key. This stuff is gold!!!
For me the chromatic scale, assimilating this into your consciousness, gave me the field map to the guitar neck: it takes a while but eventually you know exactly what note name you are playing in each position, this 'stitch' method I can see is very useful!
Thank you so much for this video, I really don’t know anything of music, I’ve learned few songs just watching the chords on some little books, but thanks to you all those smoky musical clouds are disappearing, you turned on the fan, thanks again to be so humble and share your knowledge with others,that is so nice from you,specially now when most people is selfish,👌👏👍😊❤️.
This is brilliant, and really helpful. Thanks very much!
Thanks, Stich, this is interesting. I'll try it.
Thank you this will help me find the key of my own songs it should help immensely with my song recording
Excellent! And u inspire me in more ways than music yet everything is music. Bless you Stich! ❤🫶✌️💎
I built the same kind of chart many years ago. Helped me tremendously. This is a great way to look at music.
Stumbled across your channel a few minutes ago, and decided to subscribe halfway through. Thank-you...
I wrote charts exactly like these to learn how to solo on saxophone in any key. Good stuff. Thanks.
Tremendous.. while I don't understand it well, it's the most comprehension I've had in such a short time getting exposed to it. I will go purchase it. Thanks very much!!!!
This was really well explained! Love the birdsong in the background too
Adjacent keys advice is new for me. Thanks. I usually go to chords in the relative minor. This is a nice change.
Old cliche, "remain silent and be thought an idiot or speak and erase all doubt". However I simply can"t not comment on this lesson. It is by far the most comprehensive, concise and easiest to grasp lesson I have ever encountered. Your name should roll effortlessly and often off the tongue of any aspiring student of guitar. Thanks you so, so much.
This is so awesome! Thank you bro❤❤
This is Awesome....you did one hell of a job
Thank you for this piece of value Stitch! Just purchased the chart from you. Basically culminates alot of the theory into sheets an amateur like me could understand.
So glad you liked the layout!
Nice, I was taught this on the circle of fifths/fourths with a side diagram showing the major and minor scale pattern. I like the way U flattened the wheel ;)
Okay, so I know you put this up like a year ago, but I just have to commend you... Very very good!!!
I "circled" the drain with my music study recently as I found the Circle of Fifths informational, but difficult to commit to memory.
Idk if it's just me, but it seems the layout has certain limitations... Maybe my brain retains information that is laid out in a "linear" fashion more efficiently, but I really have to say that your method/system is thoroughly awesome!!!
Man, did you nail it!!!
Thank you so very, very much!!!
Wow. This is the video I've been waiting for forever. Was just looking at the 2nd Bridge in Tequila Sunrise and it has 3 out of Key chords. I was trying to figure out where they came from and couldn't figure out where they borrowed the chords from. I'm going to test your method to see if solves the riddle. Regardless you're so awesome Stich.
Just wanted to say that your videos are top notch & so is your personality. The music scene, (along with the 🌎) needs more souls like you.
Great chart, so succinct and useful 😊
😳 WOW! Simply great! 👌Thank you.
This was actually very useful. Thank you.
Great information ! Thank you !
Hey Stitch! It’s me Tom! It was nice meeting you! That made my day! 😊
Thank you so much this is super useful!
Far out man! This is really cool. Thanks for the video.
Way more practical than the Circle of 5ths diagram!!! Great job.... I've got these printed for easy reference. Great tool!!!
Fabulous video lesson, thank you 🙏
You have a big fan and student in Cherryfield Maine and I believe my bill is due! Great lesson as all are Stich.
Nice chart, thanks. It's unwrapping the major chord scales in the order defined by the circle 5th. It certainly makes it easier to see chord tonality for the various keys.
I love it. Thank you man.
Mind blown ... this had never sunk in, until now .... Genius!
What a peaceful setting Stitch.Way to pass along the knowlege@
Wow! This is truly priceless
Another awesome lesson. Thank you!
Excellent explanation. Thank you so much.
Thank you, for this and all of your videos. I’m proposing the Periodic Table of Stich, because of the multiple relationships that connect the elements in the page and yet to be discovered.
Is it ok if I call it the stitch table?
Peaceful place--except for an occasional loud car. Excellent lesson Groovy One! I hope my utility bill doesn't break me this month with all the light bulbs that went off. Enjoy the forest quiet when combustion engines sleep.
This is a rewatch for sure. Thank you!!
Hey, recognize that chart! Great stuff Ian. Maine is gorgeous. We went to Portland and Accadia 2 years ago, enjoy. I've been playing lots of cover band stuff, but need to get back to theory. Cheers!
I’m on the island John!
I don't normally comment on CZcams, but i gotta thank you! After 20 years and hundreds of videos and books, I FINALLY understand Modes! I know that's not what this was supposed to be about, but it's done it for me, thanks again!
You are a wonderful teacher and this is a great tool. I hope others see the value of this effort. A thorough understanding of your chart truly will unlock creativity and confidence... Thanks for sharing...
I honestly want this to be a new norm in music theory, so I appreciate your support
@@StichMethodGuitar It may not be obvious to some so it's wort pointing out that as you move up through sharps it's the 7th note that just got sharped... Likewise in flat keys it's the 4th that was just flatted...
I just mentioned that in another comment!😬
Thank you, very cool stuff! I'm already have wheels turning before the video is past halfway. I think could write single note melodies or hooks and collect at least thee core and highlighting notes to determine key, but more importantly create chord progressions. So like in reverse.......I also believe this will help with writing block! cheers!
when you said you have a modal progression a light blew in my head and i seen it clearly that when you sold me on this chart it was right there man nice chart how you figured it it don't matter it's all right there thank you mister stich been waiting since end of 2017 got serious 2018 till present thank you...Roland J Gutierrez from Magdalena New Mexico USA 🇺🇸👍
This is AWESOME!
Yes this is a real home run. An excellent tool for memorizing this. Thank you
Years ago, I attended a songwriting workshop and was telling some of the group about the 1,4,5 method of keys and how the chords revolve around that with the 6 being the relative minor and so on. My sister had shown that to me when I first was starting to play. I started to put together a spreadsheet chart that showed how that worked to send to these other people. i quickly realized that it dovetailed into so many other areas as you have demonstrated here. It really is one stop shopping for music theory and composition. i never did finish my chart and its good to see a comprehensive layout as you've done here. Well done!! i look forward to working with it. :)
Great stuff. Love the guitar too. Sweet.
what a brilliant video! thanks :)
The last 5 minutes of the video have been a missing link for me. This is awesome thanks
The REAL Reason I made this video…. I Swear!
