      He just put alot of guitar teachers out of business...in ONE brilliant lesson.
      This " IS THE KEY" we all have looked so long for...I wish I had said " a game changer" because this is the absolute meaning of this "Soloing on guitar method " Stiched " brilliantly together!

    After watching this, you remember countless blues solos you've heard are patterned this way. It's like most others are teaching you how to dig a hole by showing you dirt and different holes, while he's showing you how to wield a shovel.

    • @toddkuznitz3629

    This may be the most important guitar lesson that I have seen in years on any online platform! You could not have conveyed this information any better. When you illustrate with your playing and explain the changes, it really highlights the ideas. Extremely valuable lesson!

    @avalor2699 Před 3 lety

  • @frederickthompson8686
    @frederickthompson8686 Před 4 lety +9

    Very creative. Interesting concept for staying "grounded" over the standard blues progression, although easily adapted to other chord progressions, too. Thanks.

  • @johnwigger49
    @johnwigger49 Před 4 lety

    Been traveling all week so I have not had an opportunity to watch this until this morning. WOW Ian what a great way to make you think and give you purpose every time you pick up the guitar and try to play over at 12 bar blues. Yes, opportunities to improvise, but with the purpose of creating and coming back to a solid and maybe quite simple melody. Really love it. Improvising and thinking at the same time.

  • @michaellong8812

  • @Theseasider69
    @Theseasider69 Před 4 lety

    This is up there - one of the best guitar learning videos I have seen. Super useful for us ‘bedroom noodlers’ (yes I am that guy in your ‘if it sounds like this..’ section). Simple presentation of some really core stuff which will keep me going for days if not weeks. Thanks for sharing Stich!

  • @andy96356
    @andy96356 Před 4 lety +3

    I have been playing over blues jams as of late using my knowledge of scales and such and although it sounds musical ,I felt it was missing something this is a great lesson to show how to structure a solo effectively.thamk you.

  • @MTPicker
    @MTPicker Před 4 lety

    Excellent material, well presented. This should be required viewing for anyone starting out playing the Blues. Really gives a clear understanding of the basic 12 bar Blues structure.

  • @cwyrwas
    @cwyrwas Před 4 lety +8

    You are genuinely the best guitar teacher on CZcams. I’ve learned more from your videos than anyone - and there are some incredibly gifted teachers on this website. Sean is great, but I love the structure and focus on lead playing that you have. Paul David’s is great with production value but you just absolutely kill it. Never Lost Pentatonic took things off the ground for me and stuff like this really takes that to the next level. Never give up man

  • @steveokon5431

    This is mind blowing! The timing of me finding this is pretty good too. I don't totally understand all the terminology but, I'm close enough to dig in and find out what I don't know. GREAT lesson. It answers questions that I don't even have yet. I love it.

    Why didn't any of my previous guitar teachers teach me this?
    Honestly, "They hide this from you" would be an appropriate headline here.
    I can already see how this framework can be used to build riffs, chord progressions, and melodies.
    Truly missing puzzle piece level stuff.
