There are some ideas that I didn't present in this video to save time, but rest assured, ALL of the videos and ideas that are referenced and MUCH MORE are can be found in my "Blues Primer Playlist" Located Here: bit.ly/2vR4HjN

Holy jesus. Ive been looking for this answer so long that I am lightened now!
Great lesson. I'm really looking forward to watching and practicing with your seven Patreon practice sessions for this video! I think your Blues Primer Playlist is one of he best things on the Internet. I feel like I made real progress by watching and practice along with those videos. This was great refresher. Thank you Ian.
Thanks for unlocking how this stuff comes together. Very helpful!
So happy that your shared this with us! I suddenly took two big steps forward in understanding how to play "happy vs sad" blues. Will get straight to it 👍👍 thanks for your great learning skills 👏 have a nice evening (or day)
You never cease to amaze me. Probably should have sussed this out myself but hadn't and probably never would of. Thanks again.
Best thing I've seen on the blues in ages, well done
I learn so.much watching your videos Ian 😊
That really blew my mind!!! Thanks for the lesson, mate!
Awesome lesson and you have a great talent for explaining these concepts. Very helpful, thank you!
Fantastic lesson thanks so much !!A pleasure to listen to your lessons. Cheers my friend !!!
This just blew my mind .... sat the entire video thinking in the end you're going to show us what scale over what chord .... but it was about the rhythm ... damn ... thank you so much !
Great video lesson!!! Lots of nuggets!!!
15mins flew by in a very good way. Your lessons never drag!
Wow, I loved that! Thanks for the lesson!
Thank you Stitch! I am extremely grateful and feel blessed to have you as a teacher, even though we haven’t met in person or even had a conversation. For some reason your lessons just speak to me and have a unique way of getting through and making me able to fulfill a life long dream to express myself thru guitar. I’m 38 been seeing phish since 99, and yes Trey is the last Jedi, but it’s not just cause your a phan, there’s something special about you and I thought you should know that. It’s the least I can do for someone who made me grow into a happier person, sincerely Thank You.🙏🏻 Keep them coming Stitch🤘🏻😎🇺🇸✌️
After the plague is over, go to his live workshop!
The last solo is just amazing, thanks!
Excellent lesson. Very considered and helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for the lesson, really enjoyed it
Awesome lesson Jan thank You so much. Yes ... the rythm!
Love it !!
This is great. Something I’ve been trying to do!!
Sweet lesson thx 👍👍
Brilliant!
The Stich-man does it yet again. Pure genius. Thanks!
you sir are the MAN!! Excellent! thanks
I really appreciate your videos! thank you!
That was great! I learned something new. I think I need to check your other lessons out on patreon.
Clever man ,sounds really 😎 getting the looper ready lol.thanku
This is a great lesson. I've always thought Jerry was a master of playing those major blues licks, like on Let it rock, Next time you see me, etc.This is super helpful for deciphering that.
Not necessarily about this video but wanted to say thanks to you and a couple of others i can now improvise and just play how i feel and a lot of it actually sounds good . I have a lot more to learn so keep it coming!!!
Great stuff
Good stuff man! Some Legit Bends and Vibratos!
AWESOME...
Holy smokes..... that’s it. To me that’s The Dead right there. That’s what made a lot of their songs so amazingly beautiful. Scales over a 6/8 time. 🤦🏻
Difficult..made easy. Love it...thanks you.
I'm learning bit by bit 😊💖
Thanks Stich!
I love your videos. Haven’t been keeping up with new releases but I just choose yours when I see them. I don’t like the foreshadow opening that you seem to have started doing
Great video Stick best wishes from London DJ
You had me at hexatonic. But then 6/8 came to town. I love the laid back feel of that groove you played at that slow tempo, really sweet stuff. I wonder if it still holds up at a faster tempo, it seems like it might lose the magic but perhaps not. I will have to try it because of why not. Great lesson 👍
Fantastic lesson. Never though of that. I was waiting for you to say use major pentatonic and throw the b3. But then boom: 6/8
Way to ruin the lesson for everyone. Geez
That’s the difference between a guitar teacher and a music teacher. Great lesson!
Jack Teagarden once sang "Say it simple," and you have the gift of making beauty easy to understand. You are an inspiration...
Teacher of the year right here
I always look forward to your videos man, thanks so much.
( thanking you may seem redundant, I’ll buy more shirts or something lol! ) 🤙
Nice guitar, I just for my first PRS , an S2 custom 24..great guitar
Nice 👍
Miss you Ian. This is Bill.. an old student. I’m living in the Nashville area these days. This has a little of that Grateful Dead sound that I love.
Bill S?
@@StichMethodGuitar it is I.. I was just in Sarasota for a week visiting where I ended up with Covid from the moment I arrived to the moment I left :( good news is I lost 10 pounds. I hope you are doing well! Congratulations on your channel!
Doing very well. Great to hear from you and hope your doing well.
Wow! I’m not sure how or why that works? but it does! 😀 cheers Stitch.
Awesome 6/8 - this is 😎, the slower tempo helped as well though correct?
This lesson just opened a major door for me.🗝
Falcon!
I am again in awe of these videos. My forehead is permanently bruised from the embarrassed facepalms. "Well, duh! (Slap!)," is my most common reaction to your lessons. Each is a key that opens a little vault wherein lies yet another golden thread in the weave of music and technique. Thanks for teaching this old mutt so many new tricks!
Nice video and the video of Jimi hendrix
Best 🥰
This was very helpful. The 6/8 count is right on but you have to be able to swing with a Major Blues & that's what I'm going to try working on next. Thanks for all your help. If you have any videos on a swinging Major Blues sound could you please direct me to that?
Reminds me of ‘These Days’ by the black keys although that’s not in waltz time¿? Great stuff 👌
that distortion sounded so sweet, what pedal did you use?
Very nice lesson. You could probably do another lesson on how to make 6/8 backing tracks with a 1/4/5 progression.
Patreon!!!😉
Hopefully this question makes sense: When I’m improvising over any progression and I hit the 1 of the chord I can’t run away from it in any type of “interesting” way. Basically playing the one freezes my brain and/or my leaving the one gets redundant. Thoughts on this? Cheers.
Hello Stitch, thanks for this piece of paradise,
I don't play guitar, but I'm planning to,
The Blues is what really like,
I 'm 50 years old.. What is your best suggestion for me that I don't know guitar?
Thanks in advance
thanks for another very informative and free lesson. But I can't help but wonder why this works🤔 why does a time signature alter the emotional quality of major intervals. I can hear that it does, and it works when I do it, but why, oh why, should it be so?🤔🧠💥
I’ve been playing acoustic guitar for a while, but I really don’t know about electric guitar. Do you have suggestions for an amp and electric guitar? Thanks!
when you curl the minor 3rd, isn't it already getting more major-y (that's why the curl on the minor 3rd works so well)
Yes exactly
hey Stich - awesome as always. a while ago I bought your blues course. cannot find it in my TH-cam account - can you share any info about this? thanks!!
Email me at StichMethod@gmail.com
Kinda waltzing. 🤘
The spit method!
Ha!
I love watching the southern part of your beard when you zoom in.
I still hear a little Dicky Betts and that’s okay. Good lesson, Thanks
Wow Ian, great lesson but can you answer an important question, " why does this "trick" work? I can hear the difference in the "feeling" created with the different timing but is there a theory explanation or timing of the chord changes that could help reinforce your lesson?
Because 3/4 or 6/8 creates a melancholy feel or ballad by itself and that helps drive the feel.
@@StichMethodGuitar Ok, I can wrap my mind around that. Thanks for responding!
Ok, I checked the price of your guitar. So......I can't afford it. :-(
But I still love it ! ;-)
Nice lesson. Can you please elaborate on 4/4 vs 6/8 blues? I Googled it and seems there are lot of different views and it boils down to how people perceive beats - there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer. If you can name songs that you think as good examples, then I can dig deeper.

@@StichMethodGuitarThanks. So nice of you to reply.
😊
But why would you want to play a happy sad blues? ;-) thank you like always

Welcome to the dark side Luke...
May the Major blues be with you....
Personally I prefer Major blues over minor blues, It's probably because of all the time I spent learning my first scale..the Major one..with 7 notes not 5...Why start your life in note poverty..? (Got one of them book things from a library..and fines coz I never took the bloody things back when I should've..)
The rest came later a bit at a time..as is the way of things.
When I did get round to minor blues ..it just didn't sound as bluesy to me...still doesn't.
Gotta get your tone right though I found..
In fact I spend most of my time in a Major scale of one sort or another.
And I think Major blues has a better groove to it..
I look at it this way..you can be depressed or just a bit fed up..In a Major way.
Plus it seems most channels chuck the minor pentatonic at everyone for just about everything..and then so many people don't know how to make it a Major pentatonic..Let alone Major blues.
I get sick of hearing that bloody minor pentatonic..
Which is a shame because there's so much music in Major you miss out on.
Is it difficult.?
No.
Stich just explained it in 15 minutes..
It took me flamin' years to figure out..!!
Whatever I play o0n the guitar makes people sad - what I talent, eh?
Tuesdays gone . Major .
Ok so I've put endless hours practicing everything you and everyone else has taught me. At home alone im a decent lead player. BUT AS SOON AS I GET TO REHEARSAL. It all goes out the window . HELP ME PLEASE.
Get in the groovy dimension brother. Get lost in the song like you do at home.
What Christopher said. Period. It's about the head space which comes with practice and confidence in your ability. Knowing that you do sound good at home will translate onto the stage once you can shed the trappings of worrying about what you think everyone else is thinking.
Thanks guys . I get what your puffin .
Could the Allman Brothers and Grateful Dead be examples of bands who play the major blues, whereas B.B. King, Eric Clapton, and SRV are artists who play the traditional blues?
Yes to a degree yes
@@StichMethodGuitar Thanks!
I'd argue BB King plays mostly major, albeit mixed with a little minor. I always think of a really sweet blues sound when I think of BB king.
Guys like BB and Clapton have been around so long you can find good examples of them doing major and minor sounding blues. Really, the best players are mixing both.
@@RagggedTrouseredPhilanthropist That makes sense. Thank you!
hm...
Good hm or bad hm?
@@StichMethodGuitar pretty late here in the Netherlands, have to wait till tomorrow morn to try this awesome stuff out... so this kinda hm :D
I need your love so bad
stitch you are making me into a musician. It is all your fault
I’m so sorry, my apologies
