    I loved that you didn't just talk about playing arpeggios but explained the value of the chord notes to the music and the melody.

    @daveandrew589 Před 3 lety +35

    I have watched hundreds of YT guitar lessons over the last 10 years, and Ian continues to show me something elegant and simple that I didn't really know. He keeps doing this. Time after time. Chapeau, sir. Best learning channel on YT.

  • @logarithm0
    @logarithm0 Před 2 lety +2

    The only teacher on CZcams that actually explains how to LISTEN

  • @pdblack
    @pdblack Před rokem +2

    This is the most accessible way I've ever had theory explained. Now I have a clue why knowing which notes are which in each chord is so important.

  • @cloutdoors5674
    @cloutdoors5674 Před 3 lety +4

    I hope this man never stops making videos. Always finding a way to add another piece to the massive guitar playing puzzle

  • @jimjamarch
    @jimjamarch Před 3 lety +3

    Sometimes, you get to hear a description that makes your palm hit your face. The third was that moment. Thank you. The playing on the 5th for the chord change is so natural too, but only once explained. Thank you so much.

    • @LPBNJ
      @LPBNJ Před 3 lety +1

      And remember the fifth from the third is perfect Harmony.

  • @elaaypele
    @elaaypele Před 3 lety +5

    Finally someone who can simply explain the feel and logic behind a melody. Thank you so much!!!

  • @CM-dw1tl
    @CM-dw1tl Před 2 lety +1

    Dude, that really made sense. It's nice to hear someone answer the biggest question which is Why? Your videos really highlight this. Keep em coming

  • @mickpayne9248
    @mickpayne9248 Před 3 lety +12

    Tried the rest, you're the best. All your lessons are new and challenging and sound so melodic yet you make it easier to understand than your peers and make me want to learn more and just play for pleasure. You make music look so easy, it isn't but I'm trying.

    • @crisantobas3030
      @crisantobas3030 Před 2 lety +1

      Thank you, now I realized the importance of notes, not just strumming my strings without understanding them.

  • @blakewarmack6406
    @blakewarmack6406 Před 3 lety +2

    I gotta say, you're taking subjects that are moderately hard to understand for self taught folks like myself and making them SO simple. Thanks for the help! My mind is blown!

  • @LPBNJ
    @LPBNJ Před 3 lety +4

    The information and the explanation that you’re giving is very deep into the making of a musician. Understanding how to lay the foundations in your head helps connect the dots. Please don’t stop this is fabulous and you have a brand new follower who will share your wisdom with my band.

    @ranskal Před 3 lety +11

    Great lesson Stich! This is exactly what I needed with where I am at in my guitar learning journey! I'm going to definitely work on doing this to create melodies. I think this will help with ear training as well learning the difference in the intervals. Thanks

  • @gfd7469
    @gfd7469 Před 3 lety +1

    Yes! This was very helpful and eye opening thanks for shedding some light on the 1 3 5. I really like the concept of accenting the 5 to build tension prior to a chord change, very good lesson for this point in my learning. THANK YOU my friend!

  • @MattXScott
    @MattXScott Před 3 lety

    Great video, thanks! Like always, you explain things in an easy way.

  • @musicproductionvideos5019

    This hitting the 5 before moving to another chord is gold! haha! I must know more! I hope your videos hold all kinds of jems like this!

    But really I just gotta say LOVE THAT FRETBOARD COLOR! First thing I notice when you use that guitar.

    How amazing it is to actually do this and hear how much better I sound. I need more practice of course, but just paying attention to those notes made the guitar pop. Thank you so much for passing on these skills. Your explanations are also fantastic, you are a true master.
