This is the best explanation of this solo on TH-cam. You explained why we use the three positions. So I don’t just have to memorize notes. I know the three positions and can now improvise and it sounds good. Thanks so much
I’ve been playing around with this solo for a while but still keep forgetting it. This lesson’ll get me jamming around with it more and I’ll have more of a clue in general. Thanks!
Ughh Bro! Where have you been all my life? I've been stuck in either a minor pentatonic rip or a major scale noodle for last 15 years. Now I am all over my neck in all 5 minor pentatonic positions along with understanding and utilizing the major pentatonic (Major Pent. works really well improvising over country rock tunes) My band was completely shocked last practice; you're my hero dude; easy to understand vids and you make it bearable to watch the basics ( A lot of us "self-taughters" skipped those even if we did hit the ground running) Cheers Bro.
Well well. Who was the guitarist on Tracy Chapman's Give Me One Reason ? I do not know. Google time !!! Adam Levy, it would appear. Next search.....Adam Levy is a jazz guitarist who was a member of Norah Jones's band. Wikipedia Tremendous ten minute lesson. No surprise, I suppose, that a jazz guitarist would take the solo out of the standard core blues box at the second fret - very tasty. Reminds me of an earlier Stitch lesson about mapping the solo. Thanks Ian !!
This is indeed the most enlightening breakdown of Give me one Reason,been muddling through this for some time using standard approach, thank you great job!
Adam Levy played the leads on the original recording. Also pretty much every Norah Jones song you ever heard. Great session player, he also dispenses not-quite-lessons/almost-philosophy on _his_ TH-cam channel _Adam Levy Guitar Tips_
Hi thanks for the information. I was listening to a Norah Jones song and was wondering who was playing amazing leads on guitar. Perfect timing to see your post. Cheers
@@wingsfan99994u I don't think this is a Norah Jones song. It was originally written and sung by Tracey Chapman I think. Can't help with the guitarist unfortunately.
Excellent laid back blues lesson, enough to get me back into playing after nearly 30 yrs.after nipping a tip off a digit, ( apparently it was a pretty common accident 30 yrs ago) WOW!, have things changed Loopers! Could have used one back then. Got one on order already. Going to join your Patreon page as as a "tip jar" member. Love watching this lesson a 75 % speed, HA
Been subscribing a while and loving the videos and insights. This one came across my feed and thanks to the clear explanation and fretboard graphics, I easily learned the concept of connecting the pentatonic shapes with the Albert King box and BB box and on up the fretboard. Holy S!*% what an instant transformation to my phrasing but also seeing those connections between pentatonics that immediately made the light bulb go off for when I solo over other blues. Thank you!!
Hey! That's really cool that you're in Galax, VA. I grew up not far from there (Floyd, VA) and if you're ever in that area and have a free Friday night, I highly recommend checking out the Floyd Country Store. Bring your guitar and you can sit in on a jam session. Oops. I just noticed that this was a year ago.
I am hoping to become a member of your Patreon group this week. I want to go into more detail on exactly how you play this solo step by step. I have been rewinding this video so many time, I feel like you deserve to get paid for your awesome lesson. See ya soon on your page!
ok ive had this song in my head but could not remember the title or the lyric that song play in party when i was a kid (country party... i was close to St-tite western festival) and that song was a classic
Stich..you're missing out on a gem here...Given the background cloth .. That's just screamin' out for a (slow but not too slow) blues version of..Starry starry night.. You know it makes sense... You can always borrow one of Sean's many women..who for some strange reason all seem to be able to sing quite well...
Your lessons are both informative and fun to listen to. I realize you're teaching *how* to play, not *what* to play, but I'm always tempted to just squint my eyes and learn your solos by note. Keep it up, Ian.
I tried to purchase the Ditto Looper from Guitar Center and they cancelled the order! Is there a problem with the Ditto? Do you have a recommendation for a place to purchase? Thanks.

Excellent Teacher
BB box full of flavour!! Adding not only the blues note (5b), but also 2 minor notes (2 & 6) in with the major pentatonic pattern 3..
This is the best guitar lesson page. All the rest u learn but u dont know why. Thank you so much.
Just the most fun bestest lesson ever for me. Cheers Mr Stitch, thanks again.
Another great video my friend!
Hey man, just wanted to thank you for the work you’re doing to keep the music alive.
I’ve been playing around with this solo for a while but still keep forgetting it.

Fantastic! Wonderful explanation of the theory behind the creation of the solo.
The ever present twinkle of joy in your eyes shines extra brightly against this starry background! 🤩 👍🏻
His lessons are always a little crazy, but there's always a wealth of helpful info. in them. Great stuff, best of luck to all (especially Stitch).
This is one of your best lessons for just the reasons you said: It's easy to understand and play, but it sounds so good! Thanks!
You're a good teacher man. Thanks for the lesson.
Thanks man, much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed
Excellent tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to make this.
used to play this in a cover band lol.. middle aged drunk moms loved this tune, had to slay em with this twang
Dude, I love your teaching style!

Or you can see Eric Clapton jam along with her.
@@reinaldoreyes5631 Yep. He's a pretty good guitarist also.
And Adam is also a very good you tube teacher!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! Thank you my good man.
This has got to be one of your best lessons yet!
This is indeed the most enlightening breakdown of Give me one Reason,been muddling through this for some time using standard approach, thank you great job!
Brilliant! You have a gift of communication. My neurons are building bridges of your insights. ✌🏻
Well I’ve been improvising position 1 F#m all this time and always thought it sounded shite.
Now I know better. Thanks!

I’m having so much fun with this song now. Another great lesson. Thank you!
Love your enthusiasm Corinne!
Yet another fantastic lesson, excellent "Stich Style" breakdown. Life changing stuff for me Ian!!

Excellent lesson - thanks!
Great lesson. Your are a unique talent, both in teaching and feeling the blues.👍
Thanks for this great lesson and technique for playing this. Going on my looper tomorrow.
Thanks Stitch , You are a great teacher!!
🤯. Thank you for connecting the dots for me on this concept!!!
Brilliant simplicity. Thanks for explaining why I always sound like crap when I play over this!

Great song, and as usual great lesson! Thank you Sir!

Lessons always make my day better stitch.. thank you for everything as always! You the man!

Kevin O'Rourke
ok ive had this song in my head but could not remember the title or the lyric
that song play in party when i was a kid (country party... i was close to St-tite western festival) and that song was a classic
Thanks. That's interesting...
Very nice, thanks.
Right on man!!!
Amazing content sir 🔥🔥🔥
Wizard skills here. Hot damn!!
Really Cool . . . 10 minute Lesson!
Here!
I would love to see some videos breaking down Aerosmith/GNR riffs or their thought process like you’ve done for Zeppelin!!
warning to all who enter! if you start playing along with this song, you are not going to want to stop
Thanks. Brill.
Fun vid! Maybe you should have done the first part on a Flying V second part on a 335 and last part on your strat. Lol!
Grown in quality ! :)
You are mellifluously mellow.
my favorite Box to play with :-)
My 2nd favorite
What do the numbers after the chords mean?
Very nice 👍
I’d like to know the Clapton version.
Stich..you're missing out on a gem here...Given the background cloth ..
That's just screamin' out for a (slow but not too slow) blues version of..Starry starry night..
You know it makes sense...
You can always borrow one of Sean's many women..who for some strange reason all seem to be able to sing quite well...
thanks or the video!! Can you help me understand... this is F# major, so why does minor pentatonic work here?
Watch my blues primer playlist, it will answer a lot
Your lessons are both informative and fun to listen to. I realize you're teaching *how* to play, not *what* to play, but I'm always tempted to just squint my eyes and learn your solos by note. Keep it up, Ian.
Just posted the TAB of my solo to my patreon😉
👏
Is this a quick 4?
I tried to purchase the Ditto Looper from Guitar Center and they cancelled the order! Is there a problem with the Ditto? Do you have a recommendation for a place to purchase? Thanks.
The new Ditto Plus was announced months ago but is still not being delivered. The basic Ditto should still be easy to buy.
this is fantastic! it really forces you to listen for the changes and if you are off you get instant feedback because it just doesn't sound good.
Didn't know Tom Segura does guitar lessons
I consider my self intermediate with theory and playing . But what’s a minor third ?
Minor third, flat third, same thing…. 3 1/2 steps up from your root
What do the numbers after the chords mean?...F#4, B2, C#2, etc
The amount of beats per chord
@@StichMethodGuitar Thanks so much Ian. Love your lessons man!
Great stuff!! Would those patterns sound good in any standard blues? Without the “extra” chords?
Indeed they would!
Do you play slide/bottleneck guitar?
Unfortunately no
I thought it was Tom segura playing guitar lol
Compliment: You could make extra income as a Franco Harris look-alike to appear at high-class parties, etc.
👍👍👍👍👍😎
Still wondering why there were 5 thumbs downs
