Signals Music Studio is really good too for scales and modes. And people like Nik Nocturnal and Uncle Ben are great for metal scales/modes and how to transpose scales in popular metal tunings.
Lots of folks out there make high-quality lessons on “how to play this song note for note.” What I love about the way you approach songs is that not only do you show the “how”, but also the “why” for what is going on. I find this incredibly helpful, and far more useful for building my own techniques. I’m not a jam band guy, but your “In the mind of” series has helped make me a far better player. Oh, and if you could get the bullie to fart in 3/4 and 6/8, you could use that to explain time signatures………..
This one really helped me and I've been playing 3 decades. The Yellow Ledbetter reference was a stroke of brilliance. We could all instantly hear what you were going to teach us. Giving that conceptualization in advance made it so easy to understand the lesson. Thanks a million!
You’re probably the most underrated yt guitar teacher. You give so us so much knowledge and concept ideas in ways it’s easy to understand. Thank you for everything you do bro 🤙🏻
Just brilliant! This relational type of learning has really be doing wonders for me. Triads and scale shape relations seem to really be the key to unlocking the fret board and to have the freedom to improvise. Thanks Stitch!
Man! You are such a good teacher. First time I seen your video. Swear stumbled across it. Saving... I like how your explanation is so simple. I will be practicing thank you
Greetings from East Tennessee. Going down to the lake and playing some music today with my bud. Will be plugging in some of this lesson. Thank you for your effort.... very helpful.
You can really hear the Jimi Hendrix influence in this particular song. Mike McCready basically idolized Jimi when he was learning guitar, and in particular it's very "Little Wing" ish.
@@yepper1165 Yeah I wouldn't be surprised... honestly it's so obviously a nod by virtue of the way it sounds it doesn't even need to be said. Mike McCready in general's style is heavily derived from Hendrix in just about every way but this one in particular just screams Little Wing.
Stich, I just purchased my first Looper pedal. I was able to record a few real nice chord progressions and because of YOU, and the time I spent taking in your instruction on the pentatonics, I was able to solo over top of my loops and it sounded so pure and correct. I’m 39 years old and for the first time in my life I am finally able to really jam on the guitar. I knew where to go, I knew why it worked, and things MADE SENSE! Thanks so much brother. I love your path to understanding the guitar. I’m not Hendrix yet, but it feels so nice to have a clue dude.
Love that you brought up Hendrix immediately! I've always pictured in my head Stone Gossard was just jamming Little Wing and Eddie Vedder just slapped on some lyrics, but it turned out to be a beautiful song in its own right. It's a fun drunk Karaoke song because you can stumble through the lyrics, and nobody knows the difference lol
I once wrote the intro to Yellow Ledbetter accidentally and after hearing your theory breakdown of what it's comprised of, it makes a lot of sense that I did this, and many probably have too.
This really helped connect a few dots that have not really made sense to me related to CAGED plus other stuff like how Hendrix mixes the chords with the pentatonic which I thought was like crazy good
Nice video, didn't learn all that much but it helped put it into a perspective for me, and for a lot of players this would be very educational. Mostly I wanted to say that I LOVE that guitar and am happy someone so cool has one.
My first StitchMethod video. Great content. But even better snoring dog. Reminds me of my old dog that would wake everyone in the house up with his snore!
My step father used to play in honky tonks in Silverton, leadville, Buena Vista. Glenn wood springs. In the mid 1960s. Beautiful area. The silver dollar saloon is still open in leadville.
Your are doing something great !!! Kudos !!! Most of the stuff you have uploaded is not free elsewhere!!! This is Guitar Open Source Channel!! :) lovin it!!!!
That’s what makes the change up so somber and eery, instead of just flashy chord voicings for the sake of showing off. It’s a perfect blend of accents and then very precise chords, and the solo becomes easier to play once one has those patterns in their head. I always tell folks to learn the parts to Hendrix’s 1983…through to the Rainy Day reprise, as they aren’t very difficult to play, but each shift changes the emotion and atmosphere, which can really help some when in a rut.
You can get some pretty interesting sounds out of the guitar when you expand the area you are focused on. Example, combining the notes of the E and B chord together. So the scale run is literally 7, 9, 12 on the top 4 strings (yes its quite a stretch but can be done, I have small hands) then the last 2 strings are 8, 10, and 12 (you can also just skip 12 and go to 13th fret on the thin e string). If you choose the 13th fret for your final note in the run you can make it a bit longer because literally 12, 13 and 15 all sound good with a E and B chord when using blues scales in that position. you can also finish the run with an arpeggio.
The whole, 1 chord play around, 4/5 just create some dissonance, that was new to me, and super helpful! if you would make a video talking about all the intervals, and what do to for each, it would help a lot of people out! thanks!
I clicked to check out the D'Angelico, I already know Yellow Led better. While I never got a good look at the guitar, I wound up learning a valuable CAGED/Pentatonic application,, ala Jimmi. Good lesson 😎👍
Awesome stuff! UA-cam decided to pop this up on my feed today, and this video got you a new sub. Can't wait to see what the rest of your channel holds. I hope it's all this good!
Great video. Very useful lesson. It was great meeting you at the lift today at JH. I forgot to say thank you for all the lessons and all the work you put into the videos. Enjoy the rest of your trip.
Little Wing and Yellow Ledbetter are up there with my favorite guitar parts of all time. John Fruciante's part on Under The Bridge has some parts that are a bit Hendrix-like too, although I would argue he also has a very distinct style as well.
The last chord progression I usually hear as A mixolydian V VII IV progression kinda like in sweet home Alabama. But you’re right it can be spelled as V IV I in D major. Great lesson!
My old dashund snores, too. Sometimes I get blamed for his snoring. More often , he gets blamed for mine. Your lessons are interesting and informative. Thanks.
It's all about the attitude in which you play it. You are thinking Hendrix, so it has a Hendrix vibe. When I play like that (which I often do) I'm mostly thinking soul music, so it has more of a Cornell Dupree or Steve Cropper vibe. At the end of the day, Hendrix got that style from soul, gospel and blue, and used his influences to help create his sound
@@StichMethodGuitar you'll love it. Winters are some times wild though. I used to live in Ouray, when they close Red Mountain and Molas passes you better have supplies.
Great lesson and cool playing! :) One minor suggestion: It would be good if the very first thing in the lesson was a playthrough of what you will teach. So then viewers can tell if they already know it or not. If anyone is looking for it, it is at 7:10 in the video :)
Thank you for visiting our state. Silverton is a great little town. Have you done the million dollar highway? If not you should check it out it's a cool drive. Just to be sure you're not afraid of heights. Thanks again for your dedication and wonderful attitude. I really like your channel.
I like how friendly and warm this guy is. Very knowledgeable also and he explains things in a way that is easy to understand
Yea he's like your friends older brother who would smoke weed with you when you were in high-school
I know I was just saying he always looks so happy
I’m m

Your dog snoring is literally the best thing ever.
Dude, you’re literally the best guitar teacher.

I just learned something super useful in under 9 minutes..... and explained perfectly. Amazing

Some of the best method instruction w enough theory to tie it all together sans the paralysis by analysis. I just sub'ed. you are great!
Just brilliant! This relational type of learning has really be doing wonders for me. Triads and scale shape relations seem to really be the key to unlocking the fret board and to have the freedom to improvise. Thanks Stitch!
Let me think...Do I want to sound like Hendrix? Yes. Yes, I do.
😂😂 That's so true
When someone asks you if you want to sound like Hendrix, you say YES.
😂😂same
Worked pretty well for SRV!
This guys personality really hooks you in he has a warm hippie vibe to him.
clicked on this to refreash myself on a somg i learned to play like 20 yrs ago and came out with so much more, thanks
I agree, you are The Eye Doctor. My eyes become open with every lesson.
Thanks StichM
That's MAGIC, Stitch!
I think I'm enjoying this lesson more than l am paying attention.
Man! You are such a good teacher. First time I seen your video. Swear stumbled across it. Saving... I like how your explanation is so simple. I will be practicing thank you
Greetings from East Tennessee. Going down to the lake and playing some music today with my bud. Will be plugging in some of this lesson. Thank you for your effort.... very helpful.
Nice vid. I like the progression because it also goes from low to high swiftly enough that I don't even think about what notes they're hitting
I must admit, my expectations for this lesson weren't high... man, was I wrong! Thanks.
You can really hear the Jimi Hendrix influence in this particular song. Mike McCready basically idolized Jimi when he was learning guitar, and in particular it's very "Little Wing" ish.
I believe he's even said this was his nod to Hendrix.

Awesome to hear James!
Ledbetter and little wing are both masterpieces.
You do a fantastic job of breaking them down.
Great teacher!
Best 8 mins I've spent all month. Really added some nice color to my Wind Cries Mary.
Love that you brought up Hendrix immediately!

Wish I could do more than one like for this! Great lesson- another leap in my knowledge. Thanks from New Zealand
Sus 2 and Add 9, i never made that connection, even as long as I've played. Mind blown. Thank you Stich for making this stuff so simple.
I once wrote the intro to Yellow Ledbetter accidentally and after hearing your theory breakdown of what it's comprised of, it makes a lot of sense that I did this, and many probably have too.
I spent the winter in Silverton in 1980. Experience of a lifetime. Enjoy your time there. Jon Taylor from England.
Just by looking at this video I learned a lot , I've been looking for guitar teachers for a while, and you are one of the best, I already subscribed.
Amazing lesson. Simple but well explained. Easily the best teacher on UA-cam.
You're the man Stitch so smooth and flowing
Thanks you always help click the pieces into place, or rather stitch the strands into coherence.
Great lesson on improvised chords and playing off the P Scale. Great many thanks…
This really helped connect a few dots that have not really made sense to me related to CAGED plus other stuff like how Hendrix mixes the chords with the pentatonic which I thought was like crazy good
LOVE the bob weir signature l! That thing is magical
Ian man, you're raking in about 2k new subs a week at the moment! Loving the on-the-road vids mate, thanks for all you're sharing with us
Thank you so much for these great lessons. I have learned a lot over the year from watching.
I appreciate the added authenticity of how it seems like he’s teaching guitar lessons from a van.
He is
Another eye opener, it is all so obvious after Mr Stitch shows you. I so owe you friend I really do. Thanks a lot.
What a great lesson man! Hope to see more "tricks" like these! Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina
It is a very useful technique as long as you use it like seasoning to enhance what you're playing.
My favorite instructor on the net by far I love your vids
Nice video, didn't learn all that much but it helped put it into a perspective for me, and for a lot of players this would be very educational. Mostly I wanted to say that I LOVE that guitar and am happy someone so cool has one.
That sound and chord progressions was great. Tube Amps & Model guitars go a long way in achieving that sound too! Hendrix knew that one for sure.
Welcome to CO, Stitch! I LOVE Silverton, such a cool place.
Agreed, especially in summertime.
My first StitchMethod video. Great content. But even better snoring dog. Reminds me of my old dog that would wake everyone in the house up with his snore!
A lot of your lessons go right over my head, but I “get” this. Cool. Thanks!
Just heard this song yesterday on the radio and was like, “what the hell, this is Pearl Jam?!” And now I stumble on this :)
My step father used to play in honky tonks in Silverton, leadville, Buena Vista. Glenn wood springs. In the mid 1960s. Beautiful area. The silver dollar saloon is still open in leadville.
Your are doing something great !!! Kudos !!! Most of the stuff you have uploaded is not free elsewhere!!! This is Guitar Open Source Channel!! :) lovin it!!!!
John Mayer does a ton of this in Gravity on the G and C chords, it's such a great sound. Thanks Ian!

Weir shout on a Weir signature, very nice
That last progression is a little phishy
Love your lessons always helpful thank you

Great video! I have never understood this stuff, and stumbled up on a few of these areas on the guitar! MAGIC!
Another great lesson linking theory with good ol' rock. Peace, brother!
That guitar tone is amazing.
lightbulb moment ..right there ..thanks Stitch

Already have them. Search my channel for making melodies in pentatonics
Immediately subbed.
Can't wait to watch all these in work tomorrow
Update: loving it.
You are a great teacher. Thanks for all your work.
Great lesson. You make it so simple to understand...
You take the train from Silverton to Durango? It's a nice ride.
Don’t talk about my moms
Mind Blown !!!.. gotta try this. Thanks 👍
That is some really high quality content. Thank you!!!
This is absolutely genius! Mind blown, subscribing!!
I saw that truss cover and stayed. I love my D'Angelico
I clicked to check out the D'Angelico, I already know Yellow Led better.
While I never got a good look at the guitar, I wound up learning a valuable CAGED/Pentatonic application,, ala Jimmi.
Good lesson 😎👍
You’re awesome. Very in depth yet simple explanations. You are what helps people grow. Rock on man. How about Little Wing ?
ua-cam.com/video/2Ou49KRq11s/v-deo.html
What a useful lesson man! Great thx!
George Harrison did this too,,, before Hendrix,, in Don't Let Me Down song,,, did he?
Awesome stuff! UA-cam decided to pop this up on my feed today, and this video got you a new sub. Can't wait to see what the rest of your channel holds. I hope it's all this good!
Let me know what you think
Very good explainnation of the theory behind what’s happening
A true teacher and master
Great video. Very useful lesson. It was great meeting you at the lift today at JH. I forgot to say thank you for all the lessons and all the work you put into the videos.
Enjoy the rest of your trip.
Jason! Email me that pic to stichmethod@gmail.com. Would you believe I’m back at the lifts right now. Thanks for saying hi and the kind words.
Very interesting. I'll be able to mess around with this for awhile 😀 Thanks
I'm so glad I found you. You speak my language!
Wow happy I stumbled across this...you are an amazing teacher.

@@kingcormack8004 He is playing the Pearl Jam lick almost note-for-note. You are right that it's a pure telecaster sound though. Unmistakable.
Fantastic! So many great lessons. Thanks.
Simple to understand, great teaching & above all....sounds amazing
Thanks for the video. Hope you had a great time in Silverton, I live a couple towns north of there. San Juans are beautiful all year long.
They are amazing, contemplating buying some land in Silverton
@@StichMethodGuitar you'll love it. Winters are some times wild though. I used to live in Ouray, when they close Red Mountain and Molas passes you better have supplies.
We were thinking just to park the RV there for the summer. I heard the winters can get rough, and I believe it!
@@StichMethodGuitar RV'ing, you'll have a wonderful summer. Keep in mind that the weather changes instantly.
Thanks very good and simple way to explain this
At 7:24 I could see that turning into a really nice riff.
I stayed with my cousin Chris George at the St Paul Ski Lodge.
Great lesson, thank you.
About to try this out but it seems super useful. Thanks
Valuable tips if the student is ready for them
Great lesson and cool playing! :)
One minor suggestion: It would be good if the very first thing in the lesson was a playthrough of what you will teach. So then viewers can tell if they already know it or not. If anyone is looking for it, it is at 7:10 in the video :)
Enjoyed the close ups'. Thanks. Hello to all the family!
Dude, your videos always help add flavor to my playing!

Pleeeeease write a book for us! I would buy it instantly, love your lessons good sir
You seem like a really cool guy! Ill have to check out some more videos!!
I heard Kenny Wayne there. Good Stuff. Eye opener--once again. Thanks Amazing One! (And who wouldn't Love Silverton?)
Just found kenny's Ledbetter road... so good. I think PJ used that more than Hendrix
Me too! I do want too play like Jimi!
So helpful ! Eye and ear opening, thanks for sharing 👍👍👍
Welcome to Colorado. Hope your having fun.
Nicely done, great explanation 👍🏻
LOVE Silverton !!!
