Will we ever get the part two?
Yes it’s been years where’s part 2 lol
Playing guitar is one art, and the ability to teach is another. You are terrific at both. Thanks for sharing your talents!!
This is the best breakdown of how to get that sound I have ever seen. Kudos
I just close my eyes and go for it! Lol
Seriously, one of the reasons I love songs like this is, the art of improvisation is almost nonexistent these days. People are afraid to put themselves out there. They’re afraid they’ll make a mistake. One of my favorite guitarists is knopfler. Listen to him live, he makes mistakes, but he plays through them. That, is what makes a player.
My first statement is half serious. I learned my fretboard decades ago. There’s certain songs like this, where I really do just close my eyes and jam. Play what you feel. Let it go. Talk to the people through your notes. If you mess up, play through it.
The ABB did this too….you can hear the mistakes in the filmore album, and that’s what makes it special.
Ok, this old man will shut up now…….
Great video brother.
This is a great lesson. I just applied the G major scale to the 9/23/70 Which and it works like a charm. Especially the Dicky flat 5. Thanks!
Great lesson! This is exactly the right way to teach this stuff. I wish I had a teacher like you twenty years ago. Keep up the great work!
Hopefully after all these years you realized he’s teaching this thing wrongLOL
The intro chords are Amaj Bm Cmaj
Awesome man ! The ABB band is the reason I play guitar...Thanks so much for this it has got me out of my rut ~
Love love love this lesson! Everything is really clicking and it’s helping me get into the theory side of things! Thank you so much! But where is part 2?? It’s been 3 years, we need more please!
I learned more in 5 minutes than I have in a long time thanks for that great stuff
Freakin great teacher! OMG I learn so much from your videos.Than my playing jumps up a notch as I practice the concepts for a few weeks.
Will you do In Memory of Elizabeth Reed in conjunction because it is so similar?
"There aren't any wrong notes." Miles Davis. By the time the ABB released their first album I had been immersed in the Dead's early albums working very hard to understand what Jerry was playing and often trying to sort out the counterpoint leads between Jerry and Bobby. Whipping Post was my very first favorite ABB long jam. By then Live Dead had been worn out a couple of times. Some of my neighbors thought I needed to be locked in an asylum because of playing albums over and over.
Awesome lesson! I like how you decided to make the first lesson specifically about this topic before diving into everything else. The way you explain modes makes it easy to understand. 😁
This has got to be one of your best lessons. You have a good way of breaking down what we are hearing and how to play in that style. Keep up the good work.
Chord progression is A major > Bm > C major over the solos. Listen closely and you’ll hear the major 3rd in the A chord.
Yup! Found that out after😳. But in all honesty, the soloing approach is still the same. Next time I’ll listen to the original instead of a live performance
but in the jam in live version it is Am?
@@roblogosz1 No. It's A major the whole time. You don't play a C natural.
I believe the A major chord is the V/IV (secondary dominant) of D, the IV chord…the key of the song is still A minor. Why they did that? I have no clue. LoL
Great job my friend..I'm an ear player with some theoretical knowledge. This video helped so much, I am at the point where I know my shortcomings and adding flavor to my solos is my focus now. I do have to learn this number for a new project and you saved me a lot of time getting the structure and vibe of this solo.you broke it down perfectly for us dumbasses, thank you so much for your efforts.
Always love your “in the mind of lessons “. Did you ever do the part two? Thanks for making learning fun!!
Just stumbled across this video. Thanks for sharing! Great lesson! Noticed in the intro you didn’t mention Jack Pearson, arguably one of the most talented guitarists ABB ever had. Although his time was just a couple of years because of bad bouts with tinnitus from the volume they played at, his solos on their songs were magical! Everyone should check him out...it’ll make you wanna practice more LOL! ✌🏻🎼🎸
Met Jack last year in Tennessee. Very nice dude!
One of my favorite songs... learned Dickey's full 6 minute live at the Fillmore solo basically note-for-note because it was the only time they played that section. Thanks for the insight provided here.
God bless you, Tom! And thank you for the great lesson.
Dorian, minor pentatonic, blues scale. It all works. The flat five is youre friend!
Fantastic lesson! Without a doubt one of the best lessons of seen on TH-cam. Your explanations and examples are excellent. Thank you !
Johnnie O thanks! Even though I got the first chord wrong ( A vs Am7) should have done more due diligence, but non the less , the solo still remains the same. Really appreciate the enthusiasm. Rock on
Best teacher on the webs! Thanks Stich
God bless this guy! Best music psychology teaches EVER!
All triads.. I've been palying guitar for years and knew nought about Triads until recently I just wish I had worked this out years ago....!!
GOD BLESS YOU MAN!!! Lots of valuable input. Thanks for all the hard/smart work you placed in here.
This REALLY helped bring modes more into focus for me.
It also highlights bringing the “blue note” into play without really playing the blues scale.
Great stuff!
That Eb really has that A1 steak sauce sound, recognised it straight away. Really enjoyable lesson, I understood it all because you're a great teacher, of course! I'm waiting on my (first) new looper pedal to arrive so I can practice!
Stiche that turned me lose I’m a 35 year vet you guys on Utube have filled in my blue print
Major pentatonic Siri I knew it but without you guys it wouldn’t of made sense target notes cord Jones arpeggios what you just taught absolutely fantastic and wonderful Almanzar one of my main influence with Stevie Ray Jimmy all them you know love you keep up the great work
Sorry stitch I was using voice command
Awesome! I’ve using just A Dorian for whipping post style stuff for a while. It worked but it felt empty. This helps it sound full.
Listen to studio version as well as multiple Allman live versions on TH-cam. Very apparent on Greg's organ, as well as guitars. 1st chord A major, B minor to C.
Marc Muller so weird! I watched the warren Dickey version and clear as day warren is on the Am7.. craziness ensues, but! Still the same approach in the solo. More due diligence on my behalf on the original versions of songs
What an awesome lesson. Sure tuned my head around a few times. an't wait for the next one...
What's up brother. Would you consider doing a DVD on teaching scales and stuff to learn how to play the guitar. I'm picking up a lot but I think i could learn better. TH-cam has a lot of commercials 😳. Anyway I thought i would ask. Thanks again Stitch. God bless you always 🙏
Great subject. I’ve been playing this stuff instinctively for years but I never attaché a system to it. Now I know why this notes sound so right even though at first glance they look all wrong. Good call here.
Nice job.. A lot to think about.. Thank You!
Fantastic stuff. Would love to hear more Allman Brothers on your channel!
Thats great i was always missing that thanx good guy for showing people that. Thank you
Just subscribed. Appreciate your getting in the heads and thought processes of the artists.
When I played bass on this in my old band I’d basically riff on the Am scale… now I’m gonna try the GMaj scale on my LP… I have no idea what I’m doing.. but I think I’m gonna have fun…!👍🏼 Thanks..!
Try the verse chord progression as A major instead of Am7. That’s how Warren Haynes said it’s played and jow I learned it from Marty Schwartz. Sounds great that way .
You are correct. The entire song is in A major. Why no one can figure this out is a mystery.
Yep.
thanks Stich! great content yet again. looking forward to part II
unbelievably good lesson
Best lesson ever! Thank you!
Nice to see the les paul back in action!
Thanks for this lesson. Have been playing W.P. since it first came out on vinyl. Learned Dickey's lead note for note off the recording. Though played the Eb note in the scale I never before recognized it for what it is and the effect it has.
Best Whipping Post Lesson out there! Where is Part 2?
When will then be now? Soon
very interesting - never thought of not resolving to the tonic!
Great class looking forward to seeing the rest I've always been a ABB fan.thanks again 😎
wow, good stuff, can't wait for the following parts !
This is great, did part 2 ever happen?
I’m wondering if the rest of it is on Patreon or something.
Awesome! Thanks Stich!
Awesome... great takeaways from this lesson!
great lesson, I could really hear that flat five sound.
Finally some ABB! I hope you can touch on mountain jam at some point too haha
I Did this a while back... not Mountain Jam, but ABB.... Rock on. th-cam.com/video/gIlmRtbKVmg/w-d-xo.html
I always heard the 'main riff' being two guitar parts: one being a repetitive a, b, c, bend up from b to c back to b, and the other being double stops on the B+G strings starting from A+C#, B+D, C+E.
That ending was such a tease!! 😱😫
Part 2 pleasee
Great lesson, I really love these dissections of songs. Looking forward to part 2. When you are soloing on a modal progression like this are you thinking at all about chord tones or are they changing too quickly?
Thank you!
Let's get right down to it
great practical lesson ..!!
Awesome! Thanks!
Good stuff Ian!
5 mins in. Love it already!!! Ahhhhh
Where is Part 2?
Class lesson! Thanks my man :)
My man
Hi there, it's Rick from Ringling.. I am a self taught guitarist, so I enjoy the explanations of you et videos and I hear things from you that like flips a switch in my head and I understand some things.. Much appreciated and love each video I've watched.. Keep up the great work.. Becoming your fan..
Hey Rick! Glad you are enjoying it and thanks for the donation! I’ll bring you a coffee next tine I see you. How do you take it?
@@StichMethodGuitar Just bring you, I don't drink coffee..lol. But thanks for the thought..
A minor pentatonic seems to work pretty good man....I mean. I’m learning this song now and it seems to be in A minor using the G pattern.
Absolutely it does, but Dickey throws some special sauce in there
Great lesson ,as usual 😋Groovy man, GaRoovy😝
Can we get a part 2
Great lesson. Where is part 2, etc?
Might I ask what amp and pedal are you using? Thanks !
FINALLY:):):)! THANK YOU!!!
In the most supportive and positive way!
What about using E minor pentatonic, E minor is the relative minor to G major, so would that work
Great!!! Thanks for this AB song i love. Looking for part 2. I'm using this "no root" idea on improv as a new tool.
Could there be any benefit to think B Phrygian in terms of key of G major, Am7 and Bm7... cause the C is Am cept the bass yanked it...and noodling between D and D#(=Eb) for a major 3rd rub against the B... if you are thinking Bs is good landing zones?
What a great lesson! I wish I could SUB again! I always feel like I’m at one of “Stitches” family reunions and a couple of us sneak away to learn guitar!
Is there a part 2?
Oh good lord! And here I was thinking Whippin Post was in A minor or C major
Ian, your Les Paul is repaired!
That was fast.
How does the repair look?
So play C Lydian then??? Great lesson by the way....thank you
I don’t have roots down to muscle memory yet. So even if I were to want to play A roots in that g maj, I’d have to try to. Basically what I’m asking is how do you practice getting roots down muscle memory? AND when playing the Gmaj, should we use G root as home?
grate lesson, ThX! ? Did ya look at any Frank Zappa versions of Whipping Post? just curious...
Great lesson! Where is part 2? I’m looking everywhere and can’t find it!
Haven’t made it yet😳😬
StichMethod Guitar ah, that explains it! Looking forward to it.....Really digging everything you’re putting out. Thank you.
Fantastic advice there...great lesson
Nice,thanks for the wisdom...
How does the chord progression make it A Dorian? Or any other “mode?”
Well when I studied the song, the chord progression that I looked at was A Bm C… that is the 2 3 4 chord of the Key of G…. Check out my Dorian Masterclass
Actually, I also have a question, now that I think about it: why does that E-flat work in the G-major scale? Is there something about this progression? I was recently looking at another solo done over a G-C alternating progression-the soloist uses the E-flat as a passing tone in the G-major scale & it sounds like it belongs there. PS: I also posed this question to Sean before I watched your video. The question seems more apropos here. :)
In theory It doesn't work, it is an outside note, It is the blue note in the A Blues scale.The A blues scale works over the progression.
Do you do one on Blue Sky?
Fixed Gib!!
Yes Indeed!
Whatever happened to part 2??
After paying by PayPal I could not get back to the Merchant page so could not get chart :(
Looks like it was emailed to your yahoo email. Did you get it?
the first chord is A, not Am.
Yup it is!
I goofed and followed Haynes, but thank the good lord it doesn’t effect the solo.
It is an A major in 11/8 time. I am a long time ABB fan, and if you watch the video from 1-16-82 @ Florida Field in Gainesville w/ Dan Toler and Dickie. Betts faces the camera during Dangerous Dan's solo and clearly strumming an A major......
Woahhh 😀
for sale
It would be super helpful if we could see your right hand, too. Don’t know if that’s possible, but a suggestion...
No reason to.
What key if the chord progression is AMaj BMin CMaj BMin ?
By definition there is a key change. I originally thought this was Amin to B yada yada , but here we indeed do have the A Major .... I would say Key of A for up until the C and then a brief key change to C or G if you want to really get deep and back to A, I can talk about this on my next live feed. But in this case the Soloing still works for the A dorian scale.
It’s still A minor. The song ends on a A minor chord. I believe it’s A min9.
The A May chord is the secondary dominant of D. V/IV
No worries. We're all musical detectives as soon as you pick up an instrument to learn. Enjoy the journey.
How do you hold your LP in this weird position?
Poppik81 Quads. Ian is a Quadrasaurus rex. Guitars contours weren't made for that kind of leg fortitude. (FAQ response- He just rests it on his leg and tilts the neck up for the camera. But quadrasaurus rex is the better explainantion)
