      do you get this with the udemy course?

    • @StichMethodGuitar
      @StichMethodGuitar  Před 5 lety +1

      You don’t get the full chart, but in the Udemy class you get several sheets that have the NeverLost shape and where you are on it. This chart is how to put it all together, the one on the Udemy class does have the complete NeverLost, but only one graphic. Hope that made sense.

      Click for me to all the shapes was knowing the top five strings are always a repeating cyclical pattern of two "1-4s" intervals then three "1-3s" (although the position might change) and the high e string is obviously the same as the low. Keeping that in mind and that the bottom of one box is the top of the next, it's easy to know what shape is next down the neck.

  • @TrippyTheShroom
    @TrippyTheShroom Před 7 lety +58

    I doubt you'll see this but I feel it should be said regardless, this is one of the only instructional videos I've seen where it genuinely feels like a teacher teaching students that cares. Most videos you find on this is a teacher that knows the lesson 100% in and out and can describe it well enough, but after saying the basics, leaves it up to the student to do whatever. Going the extra mile and saying no, I'll make more if you don't understand, is truly the sign of a great, humble teacher.
    Thank you.

A little over my head but I’m getting there. I’ll be joining your Patreon page too. Everyone who watches your lessons should join too. Totally worth it.

    • @wpleary2
      @wpleary2 Před 5 lety

      Yes. In standard guitar tuning, the B string is "detuned", in that it not a perfect fourth higher than the G string; it is a major 3rd higher. (G to B) All other string relationships are a perfect fourth apart. E to A, A to D, D to G, G to B, and B to E. The B string is this way for playability of chords. If it was a perfect fourth, then the high E string would be a half-step higher, and that would really make playing many chords difficult.

    @mnpd3 Před 7 lety +19

    I'm 65, and played guitar since I was a kid ---- by ear. Even played in a couple of high school and post-high school bands (until I got drafted by the Army). Post-Army I went to college on the GI Bill and took Beginning Guitar 101. How hard could it be? For me? Well, the course was one-on-one instruction and the music professor said right off, "Show me what you can do." So, I went through a couple of chord progressions and riffs, which seemed to please the guy. But, the very next thing he said was Greek, was everything else he said about what I was doing. Exasperated, over-and-over, he kept saying "How can you do what you do, without a clue about what you're doing!?!" The rest of the course didn't involve ANY guitar playing..... just me in front of a chalk board as he went through "whole step, whole step, half-step, scales, etc. Then I had homework on the guitar. I had to practice the named scales endlessly at home until I was smooth and accurate. I'd unknowingly been playing them all along, but running all over the neck to get the notes. Staying in scale allowed me to stay put in one fretboard position. To this day I can tell if a guitarist is school-trained or self-taught when he plays or even writes tablature; does he stay "in scale", or does he run all over the neck to hit the notes? The music professor was right. I resisted his way at first, but soon realized that my speed increased when I didn't have to scatter the frets to hit the same note. That was 40-years ago and I still have my notes and handouts from that class, and STILL refer to them from time to time. I've seen some killer self-taught guitarists, but I can tell anyone that the best way to learn guitar is to learn the theory and scales. It will also pay off if you learn any other instrument, be it a horn or keyboard because you know the theory and scales. If you wish to play any instrument, pay for the lessons --- it will make a lifetime of difference. I even learned to play the accordion of all things; by going to class.

    • @themaskedguitarman
      @themaskedguitarman Před 7 lety +1

      Some people learn differently, Many people who learn by ear very inefficiently. I myself learnt theory later in life. However, I was always trying to economise my playing style. So I can work the whole fret board or keep it concise. Which is great because I never get lost. But that's because I was interested in Jazz. I notice a lot of self taught blues players go all over the place and loose their economy, restrict speed etc.
      I rather people learn guitar by ear than not at all, not nearly enough people enjoy the wonder of guitar.
      However, theory and the ability to learn by ear is by far the best system.

    • @modestviking6441
      @modestviking6441 Před 7 lety

      StichMethod Guitar Many people say that scales are useful and theory is the best way to learn, but I personally cannot see connection between knowing scales and applying it to real life experience. Some of the scales as I understood inverse of other and it looks like endless forrest of notes which i can learn but what then? how it is useful when song goes from one tonality to another or if I will have trouble to know in which scale the song is? How it helps if I cant determine the scale or if there more then one scale to apply? I understand chords and principle to build them, but how to jump from that to building it fast on the go is a mystery for me and I do not know how to get there yet.So if I see complication in song I use ear to resolve it without ever realising what chord I took really. It looks like I and perhaps many other miss some trick or connection that it could really move all forward and I simply do not know what it is in the first place to even start to learn it. May be you can sense that missing link and explain it like here you did with blues idea. It looks like something simple is missing but unknown. I've stumble on cage-trick it perhaps can help but since I heard about it I didnt progress too much yet, also I heard about circle of fifth but in practice it didnt work yet too. I think I can grasp it all because i do by ear songs that many other people cant but something on the way is missing. May be you can know what is it to the benefit of all and your teaching. With best regards and thank you for your lesson. I figured out all boxes once I saw one and how to build them along the board but until your lesson even though I think I could I didn't find time to memorise all of them. I also already understood how to calculate them and move from one to another and yet your way of putting it really helped in a practice. So thank you again and I hope sharing my experience can somehow contribute to your teaching. Cheers.

All the greats use this stuff and rely on it for the foundations of melodic ear candy.

    Thank you! I feel like I'm being led the right way, finally!
    All the sweep picking, tapping, phrygian dominant, "join my super guitar system!!" videos you have to Wade through.... Or worse,"the Top 10 reasons why you need a Strat!", or, "This years coolest pedals!", or, "Treating my GAS: Unboxing a Core PRS 10Top"....
    It can be a hard slog, with so much to distract you, to find your way in this guitar-o-verse... But finally! Someone teaching exactly the stage that I've been stuck at for the last year or so.
    I know all my boxes backwards, I've got some elements of mixing major and minor scales in solos...I've learnt a tonne of blues licks I can throw in as I meander between the boxes. And I've learnt a lot of my Guitar heroe's solos (Slash and the like).
    But everything kind of feels compartmentalized, and forced together. There's no musical direction. I'm just dropping licks one at a time in the right key.
    Now this...this feels like the keys to the city! And it's all starting to come together!
    Thanks , man, I'm Keen for the next one and to see what more you might be offering in terms of paid courses...

It's really worth it.

    I'll get the chart as soon as i have time to get a good practice session again :) heck, been a while since i've been THIS excited to get some real guitar knowledge!
    Thank you.

    I definitely enjoyed this. I knew all of the positions for the A m scale, but it definitely made it easier to flow more seamlessly between the patterns. I definitely recommend it.

    This is the greatest guitar lesson of all time. After researching the different pentatonic shapes, this explanation allowed me to CLEARLY see, as you said, how the guitar is designed, and how to navigate the fretboard.... Absolutely masterful, Stitch. Hope I get to take a private lesson at some point with ya.

    Just stumbled across your channel via your Hendrix Little Wing lesson and I'm now 4 videos deep into your repertoire. You are a really great teacher! This is pulling a lot of stuff together for me and is busting me out of a couple of ruts I've been struggling with. Thank you sir!

    I ended up watching your vid by accident. But I'm glad I did. I happen to be a Bass player and was looking for someone else's way of thinking when it comes down to the pentatonic scale. I play this scale all of the time during practice, but never really tried using it while playing my Bass guitar. Now after watching your vid, I have a better understanding on how to use this scale. I'm not a soloist but I'm always looking for fills to try to make the tune more colorful. So thank you for your instrutual vid.

    Ok, I’m a few days into this and wanted to give an update. I started knowing a couple of forms, but unable to connect the fretboard between them. On day one I got the “fan blade” down. Day two I set up two thirty minute practice sessions and by the end of the second day, second practice I had a big breakthrough. By day three I had all the forms down and could connect and play over the entire fretboard and easily find my root notes!
    Picked up the guitar the next day to be sure it “stuck”, and it has. Once I understood the scale and neck, it became easy to play groups of notes together, as you could see the patterns clearly now, and am able to solo off of chords. I will be spending the next few sessions working in improving this.
    There is no magic here. It is a simple, well thought out system but it takes a little time and work to get it. The beauty of the Stitch method is that it is laid out to minimize time and maximize effort so that you get the most out of it.
    I have been playing guitar for over thirty years, but couldn’t play lead, Inhad tried to learn but outside of a few licks it just didn’t connect. Now it does. Thanks Stitch!

    Hi, Stich, me again.. I commented on this channel 2months ago saying I understood all the lessons you showed in this video. And now, I'm doing it! I have done my first solo using the "never lost pentatonic", and now I am creating my own lead solo. And its fun. I can't thank you enough ànd show my gratitude with what I have learned from you. Awesome channel.

  • @DavidYarber
    @DavidYarber Před 5 lety +9

    A sign of a truly well taught lesson is that when you got to the "hub", (box 3) I was able to see where to go from there before you shared that part with us. Genuine light bulb moment! Great lesson! BTW, my doctor's name is Stich. Can you believe it? A doctor named Stich!

    I’ve played for a long while without ever knowing scales, and have never fully been comfortable finding my way around the fretboard & I often get lost doing solos.
    I now realise this is what has limited me in progressing. Your lesson was very helpful and you made my guitar easier to understand thankyou. I wish I’d have practiced my pentatonics years ago. 👍🏻

    Just came across this one again. Two years ago this is the video which got me playing again. Bought an Epi Les Paul and have loved practicing ever since. Now two years later I can do all 5 pentatonic positions fluently, to solo in any key, got the caged chord system sorted and now partly through understanding and using modes. Thanks again Ian for really getting my guitar journey on the right track. This is a great hobby for me now and for the rest of my life.

    At first I was all " Ah man, this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. I know the positions." Then after playing around with it for a while I learned the value of it. Yep, you're right. It's a good thing. It helps one break free from the familiar positions one uses over and over. Thanks.

    Stitch! After some 50 years (more or less) of not playing guitar much, I am overwhelmed by the massive numbers of youtube videos for guitar - some good....others not so much. But consistently, I'm finding your videos make SO much sense, and are exceptionally insightful and helpful in understanding all the stuff I never got a handle on first time around! Thank You!

  • @donkitch8743

    EXCELLENT!!!!!! second best 13 minutes I've overspent on the guitar, second only to the first video I watched of yours that gave me that "Aha" moment!!!
    Ian, once again "You Got The Stuff". Completely understood your explanation on how to solo with the pentatonic. Spent years on CZcams guitar instructional videos and didn't understand anything except how to make the shapes and where they were, couldn't move around or solo....until now, your method works! You explain it like ketchup and mustard. You break down the foundational functionality of the guitar in easy digestible chunks that makes sense, you're an amazing teacher. I'm working my way through your beginner or prep videos that you put on you tube, once I get this stuff down I'll definitely be enrolling in your courses and getting lessons from you. Thank you so much!!

      I rarely buy this kind of stuff. This was worth it. It's only a chart with graphics. Nothing fancy. But the chart is very clearly made and I'll definitely be using this from now on ! Thanks a lot !!! I read in the comments that other charts are hand drawn ?! Is your Major Neverlost scale done with graphics like this or hand drawn ?!

(1963 ) I could have been a Jimmy Page or Eric Clapton. ;) Now at ripe age of 66 I am starting again how to play the guitar for third time in my life. All makes sense now. I learned in one video more what would have taken me many month to learn the old fashioned way via a book. Well done. I have subscribed to your channel. Keep up producing such easy to learn material. Thanks

    I never comment CZcams videos, but today I'll make an exception: This is by far the best instruction video on how to tie together the pentatonics throughout the neck I've ever seen. It makes total sense, unlike the "patterns". Many youtube instructors tell you to "mind where the root notes are", but without giving you any more context. Thank you! *subscribing*

    This is the BEST lesson to move out of the Pentatonic "Box" trap that we all get stuck in when we learn all 5 shapes and then proceed to play from one box to the next like playing scales. Thank you soooo much for getting me started on my journey to play up and down the fretboard like a true professional. Keep posting these wonderful videos, you are a star!!
