My friend really needs all our help. I am so thankful at the outpouring of support for him. I totally appreciate everyone here. It really means a lot.
You sir are “brilliant”thank you
love your video's and your personality. there is a lot of good things to emulate. this world is tough but, your a bright shining light. keep guiding the way friend!
Best teacher on TH-cam. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.
Same
Yes
Agreed. Such great analogies and explanations in simple, understandable examples.
Seriously. Amazing stuff.
Say it again.
You, Sir, are a GENIUS! What is so wonderful about this song, is that it offers TIME….time to explore between versus…. Explore between WORDS actually. This song and the bpm are an ad-lib guitarist DREAM. When you have such a beautiful melody, chord structure-SIMPLE CHORD STRUCTURE, it allows us guitar players ample time to create beautiful leads, fillers, etc! But Y-O-U my friend are a MASTER of conveying the information. The information that we ALL have in our heads and transferring what is in our head to OUR hand, ultimately, to the fretboard! Thank you-Thank you-Thank you!!
This ....THIS ....is exactly what I've been struggling with.
Cheers dude.
What people often call 'genius' is exactly this ... taking something so simple and making it so cool. Thanks, Stich, for another great and inspiring leeson!
i've been away from guitar for a LONG time but it's calling me back. i am really really enjoying your videos. I so wish TH-cam had been around in the 80s. :/
You popped up on my TH-cam feed yesterday and I've been watching and just having aha moment after aha moment. Thank you so much!
I love this guy. His approach to teaching and his humanity is real.
Imagine a robot is teaching this 😳.. no thanks
I say this in pure earnest, you might just be one of the greatest guitar teachers I've ever come across. Your teaching style is insanely intuitive, your attitude is infectious, and your production quality is ace. I hope you continue to grow and grow!
Except for the beard, that's fully grown!😅
Genius .. thanks so much … heading home on the train and will work through this tonight.
He's teaching is so good it's got me convinced I'm ready to try more advanced techniques even tho I'm a beginner trying to get my strumming right 👍😅
Thank you Ian. I just watch it again and yes there is some lesson that I learn that I did not catch it the last time. Cheers from Indonesia.
Whenever I reconnect with these videos I forget how magical the Stich method is. Gives some of us slowly plodding our way some direction hence hope
It’s all about good stuff,man. I always learn something from you. Thanks!
JG does this a LOT (as do many players)
As a guitar player, you should always learn how to play the melody, regardless. It’s a good exercise in its own right, and it is really good for your playing
I can't tell you have valuable this videos has been. It should have a million views!
Spread the word!😬
Awesome lesson . You made learning simple, thanks
Great video, getting a Stich notification is the best!
Absolutely brilliant, absolutely beautiful. Thank you 👍
You & Paul davids are awesome! Never thgt of soloing that way, 👊🤙
A real "a-ha" moment,... I've been studing music theory,... scales,... modes,... the circle-of-fifths,... etc., for over 2 years now & this is the first time someone put it all together for me.
I used to play back in the 60's & 70's,... but family, money, & time caused me to put the guitar down & eventually sold them all (the guitars,... not the family!!!!). Found it (guitar) again about 3 years ago, & after retiring was committed to learning to play "the right way this time".
Keep up the good work,... you've got a ton of followers out here.
What a wonderful lesson! 👍
Best explanation of melodic solo technique I’ve ever heard. Great job.
If I can add also, sometimes leaving space (not playing) is just as important as playing.
Just like in life we have positive and negative space (my guitar is positive and the space around it is negative) music only exist as sounds and space between the sounds.
Hello Stich, Thanks for this great lesson ! !
O men. You are simply a genius
Can't wait to finish work and try this out on my new Gibson Les Paul tribute!! Fuck yeah!
Great explanation. Your presentation is well paced and builds nicely. Explaining the improvisational concepts in layers - starting with the fundamentals. Your demeanour is so calm and pleasing. Thank you.
Excellent video, thanks for posting 🤠
Willie Nelson uses the vocal melody a lot in his soloing, and even before I started playing guitar I thought that was cool.
Fantastic lesson! Definitely going to practice using melody as a foundation or “train” for soloing to a tune. Thanks Ian!!!
Wow. Repeating the vocal melody is the hardest thing for me. Thanks
Thank you. What a great lesson - being pointed towards where to go and why, and how to fit it in really works for me! That's it, I'm off to find out how to play a g pentatonic - I know, you'd think I'd know after 40 years!!
Thanks so much. That one lesson is something I've tried to figure out for quite a long time. I will apply that to my own steps. But you got me going.
All the way through your impros I was thinking "this was surely the key to Jerry Garcia's solos" - and then the last minutes of the video proved it. Some great advice, that I hope to take to heart.
Good lesson , had fun with that,,
Incredible video. So helpful.
Over the years I’ve watched guitar instructors on TH-cam but none have taken it to that level of easy understanding as you. Hands down you are the best “teacher” on TH-cam. Your the only one I watch now. Thank you very much.
Because I've always played by ear , I've always played the melody or phrasing. I've only lately learned more about scales and pentatonics. I'm 51 years old.
Even by Stich standards, this is an astoundingly good lesson. The only rational explanation for this is that Stich has made a deal with the devil at a crossroads at midnight.
it took me a long time to get back on the train :) another amazing well thought out video Ian! thank you so much for this. My guitar playing has improved drastically ever since i started watching. and thank you for sharing the fundraiser for your neighbor, just donated.
I really appreciate how you explain the guitar 🎸 so well I have to say your one ☝️ of the best guitar teacher I have found on TH-cam! Thank you so much 👍😎🤟🎸🙏
After years of listening to the dead and having a deep appreciation for Jerry’s improv, it was my brother who pointed out that Garcia is an absolute master of this technique as a one key foundation to his soloing!!!
Same thought, instantly. ✌🏻🌹💀
Great video, thanks for sharing
Awesome lesson!
Thank you for your excellent lesson! I really appreciate your great analogy of the “train tracks” in which the vocal melody is married to the G major pentatonic scale. No one has ever explained this to me as lucidly as you have. A lot of guitar instructors are “players”, and they’re not great “teachers” (not their fault; it’s just the way it is). You excel at both which is very fortunate for us. Going forward, I will learn the vocal melody (great ear training), and then, rather than getting lost and having my hands turn into bricks, I will weave in the major or minor pentatonic scale, and not be as intimidated about what I should do next! 🤔 Thank you so much for shedding such a simple, yet brilliant light, on a real deficiency in my guitar playing. For the record, not ONE guitar instructor ever told me any of this. Excellent teaching. Your parallel train analogy is so clever. I have a number of questions to ask, but I’ll save them for another time.
This is well done 👏
Thanks for this.. Will go over to patreon and send you a message
here we go :)))) you feel like by best friend stitch hehehehe. Watching you makes me feel so warm and fuzzy
Bringing in some TRIAD chord tones can really bring this up to another level, especially if you substitute it for the root note at the end of a phrase!
Brilliant, thanks!
Super intéressant !,MERCI BEAUCOUP
This is really a good video that finally dimistified how to solo. The vocal train and the improv train. Really a great explanation. Keep it up. 👌
Awesome lesson.
Awesome thanks!
Made sense, and helped me alot, thanks !
Obvious when you point it out, but brilliant! Thanks so much.
Hope Matt gets help soon 🙏
Wow light bulb moment 👍🏻
Thanks!
Great “training”! (I am the caboose on the improv train.) Interestingly, when Joe Pass was asked for the umpteenth time how to become a better improviser, his answer always was “Learn the tunes!” My favorite “melody” improviser is Amos Garrett, with Jerry Garcia (“Me & Bobby McGee”) on the list, too. A lot of great country players do this, especially on ballads. Actually, one guy really good at it is Willie Nelson! Thanks - great lesson!
Brilliant!
Agreed that playing vocal melody is key and sounds great. However I think it’s harder to find the vocal melody than let on here -- you’re skilled at it ! A video focusing on that piece would be awesome!
That would be nice for me too ngl
You sir ,are what broke and dejected guitarists like me need to survive in the guitar journey
Wonderful
I'm stich, stich, stichin' up all my chor-a-ords! hey, hey hey hey! :) I'm hopin' back, on the melody track!
Brilliant lesson!
Thanks!
I watch a ton of TH-cam guitar classes from some very excellent instructors but, my man, you are the best! You not only explain what you are doing better than anyone else, you also cover areas of playing that no one else does. You have a gift, thanks for sharing it with us all.
Great lesson! I normally play bass these days, so don't do much soloing, but figured out semi-recently that learning the melody can also lead to much better bass lines, as well. At the same time, it's a very effective and more engaging way to master the fret board than just drilling exercises alone (which is still important).
I was garbage at guitar because I was more focused on impressing people by playing impressive sounding shit. While that is good for developing technique, it will get you nowhere at learning how to actually write anything, let alone improvise.
Bout to go make some money with this.
This video like many Stitch videos are like small gold nuggets on a black sand beach. Easy to see and so worthwhile to pick up. Thank you.
IAN COULD THINK OF no one better to do this song Deads Touch of Grey Thanks if you did it I'm sorry 🎸
EUREKA!!! YOUVE FOUND THE MISSING LINK
Now i can advanced to advanced guitarist this Brillant
Amazing
Thanks!
Amazing! Thank you
Sweet!
Apropos analogy...hopping between parallel trains.
As a train conductor I enjoy the analogy to trains. 😁
Really beautiful soloing. Im hopeful I can do this at some point. Well done.
Si great, thanks a lot!
Q for everyone: is there any Slash interview about how he imagine / build his solos ? His way of thinking about it should be - very - interesting…
I have a video on how I think he does it … but that’s just me…
th-cam.com/video/qrps0Vm-jmU/w-d-xo.html
Did it help out?
Gold tuners nice 👍🏻
I gotta tell you, I tried your method for coming up with a good solo and it worked like a dream. I e been trying to come up with a solo for Born under a bad sign for months and did the thing where you play the vocal melody and it worked beautifully. The the lines over the 1 and the 4 have a B.B. King vibe and the lines over the resolve sound like a Santana thing. Got in one night. Also good for getting more familiar with the major pentatonic. Thanks for the best lesson ever.
If there's a club of people with friendly faces, he should join. Wouldn't mind to hang out with him do some jamming and enjoy a zip of whisky!
Have loved your style, content and delivery and has really helped advance my playing through lockdowns and all. You are the only TH-cam guitar genius who smiles (nearly) as much as Tim Pierce
I'll back that!🎸🤘🎸
Another great Video ... Thank you !!! Much more helpful with videos 10 minutes +/- as they are easier to watch, practice and take in. Keep up the great work
Mr Stitch, great video lesson!!! A great example of this is a video now on TH-cam of Bob Dylan’s 30th Anniversary concert, at the very end every guest is on stage playing Knocking on Heaven’s Door with Eric Clapton in the background playing exactly what you’re talking about… it’s fantastic!!! The video isn’t the best but still must watch/listen for all that are interested in your lesson!
Nice music,
Nice soul.
Stay blessed.
Very informative WOW, so much to learn and practice thanks I
Another great song would be "Almost Cut My Hair".....CSNY. Chords Am-G-D
Oh boy!!! I loved it, awesome way to tie things together❣These concepts apply to many instruments as well. I'm workin' it out on ukey...👍🎶🎵🎶💥🤪
Thank you so much for this video Stitch. As I want to write solo's for my own songs I've watched many tutorials about melody writing but yours is the first one to give me a lightbulb moment. Thanks again.
I can't count the times that I've done this live. in fact that's exactly how I learned to play guitar solo's. Great lesson..I think this video should help all your beginners..Keep rocking those lessons. also an amazing guitar. very classic looking finish..Peace..
As an intermediate harmonica player, I so greatly value your videos that focus on phrasing. Thank you.
Tried jumping on that vocal melody train and didn't quite make it. Ended up hanging on by my fingernails for a few seconds before crashing down to the ground in a heap of broken bones. I'll just stay on that improvisation train next time, if I ever recover. It was a good lesson but I've never really liked those guitar instrumental covers that follow the vocal line and this kind of reminds me of that a little bit.
As far as melodic soloing, an In The Mind of Mick Taylor episode would be greatly appreciated....
I so inlove with this tutorial
Thanks Ian, this is probably your most useful lesson yet! Greetings from England 😀👍🏻
I'm off and running! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and insight. This is a great lesson and has really spurred me on.
I can say that this really is a secret weapon in my soloing toolkit.
Not only does it produce good solos, but you never get lost or are at a loss as to what to play either.
I’m in a soft rock band called “the Truckstop Hooligans “ here in Florida and use this idea all of the time because we play all original music and it’s a great way to formulate a solo section because coming up with guitar parts that our unique and interesting to the song isn’t always easy, and using the melody solves a lot of that problem
Great! Love the idea of the vocal melody train and the improv train - awesome metaphor and really an ah-hah moment! Thanks!
