Again, I find I've been doing this on instinct. Much nicer to understand wtf I'm doing. MUCH appreciated.
We are not worthy. What a gift for mere mortals! You sir are incredibly talented. I have been watching your videos and must say, you have a way of teaching that allows me to put the 'why ' with the 'how to'. You have given me inspiration and the ability to improvise on demand.
3:15 - Sure enough; that totally evokes the Allman Brothers. That bright, sparkly "major sound."
If I ever run into you in person some place, yer gonna have to let me buy you a beer, or a coffee, or lunch, or whatever you prefer. I've been playing longer than I care to admit, and I should be a lot better than I am, but thanks to you and the great insight you provide, I've been able to open up a big industrial size bottle of "catch-up", and I've been cutting back on the noodles because lately I've been focusing on my phrasing and making articulate statements that say something. You've provided some extremely useful tips that have been of enormous help in getting my voice together so I can play things people might actually want to listen to. I cannot thank you enough for this.
Another aspect of all this is what I've learned about navigating the Dorian universe is that I've gained the confidence and insight to tackle the improv on one of my all time favorite jams, the live Fillmore version of "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed". That jam rips holes in the wall between the dimensions. I've loved it since I was 11 yrs old and I've been messing around with it for a long, long time, but now Im starting to get the feel for it. Your videos have given me a lot of missing pieces and some of the glue I needed to get it together.
I love Jerry and Bob as much as you, but Duane and Dickey were another dynamic duo worthy of honorable mention.
I can go on for days about all this, but all I really need to say is........
THANKS!
CHEERS!
HATS OFF!
Love and respect!
Ian's Patreon lessons this week are something very special. He prepares a series of simple progressions and lets' you figure out the chords in those progressions. Every week Ian's Patreon channel fills my week with fun ideas and exercises. But this one may be the best ever. He has started discussions on the channel that let you interact with Ian and other players on the channel. Very cool. So cool.
you can never say what concept is the best to teach, but i feel like I have my own teacher at home ALWAYS STRAIGHT TO THE POINT whitout any lost of time. Maybe one of the best person/teacher ever virtually met. I do appreciate your job. Greets from Italy !

Love the start to this video. I'm a great fan of yours Ian, and wish you millions of subscribers! Teasing what's coming up, will certainly help you to increase your retention rate. For years I was a feature editor at ESPN. The reason Sports Center starts with an open of "what's to come" is not an accident. :)
Wow, I wish I had been taught this info, in this way so many years ago. It’s amazingly helpful and just makes it fun to play, whether alone or jamming with folks in the neighborhood. Thank you!
Mate, you have delivered this time. What I needed.
I have long outgrown you as a teacher and I would like to thank you. you were one of the important steps I took to see the fretboard clearly. you have a lot to offer as a teacher but your stitch method is by far the most useful tool you teach. Even though I can see the fretboard well, I still use that method when improvising and trying to go "outside of the box", as they say. once again, thank you.
Dude as always thank you!!! Your lessons have become part of my day… I appreciate it so much
It's like magic! Thanks, Ian!
Thanks a lot i really needed this knowledge, you answered a q i have had searching answ. for for a long time. GREAT !
This lesson is much much better than memorizing (painfully) the 5 pentatonic positions but not being able to play fairly good start on a solo on any one of the 5 positions learned in months or even years. Thanks Ian!!!
Hi Ian, just want you to know I've been playing for few years without understanding the theory, but I've improved so much with your help. I hope this channel grows so that more beginners like me can achieve something instead of learning from other channels that are not so helpful. Thank you.
Always awesome stuff my friend!!
Thank you Stich, this was super helpful!
U are a greattttttttttt teacher!
Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks to this video i now have a system to find my way around fretboard in any key, minor or major!
I could not even begin to tell you how much you have taught me. Many thanks, I do hope to make it up to you.
Best lesson I've seen in years.
Many thanks.
From the Blues courses always coming back to the 1 , is ingrained in me, bending the notes another you mention during the David Gilmour study he is a master of string manipulation, but as always Ian you always have this brilliant knack of getting your instruction out clear and concisely,
Love the sound of the Major Pent scale. Sounds great with power chords.
Great stuff!!! Thanks!!
This video hs helped me so much. Glad I subscribed!
Yes, it's good to know the Intervals where you're at that works. Very good tips.
I think it always comes to what sounds good
This is a great demo on finding that faster
Good teacher
Thanks for the insight!
Lot of players hate pentatonic scales but man they are versatile! Thanks for sharing mor nuggets from your goldmine
Love it very much thanks
Wonderful video. Thank you.
Great lessons. No bs just straight to the point.
Very nice, thanks!
One of your best!
You sir, are a legend. Thank you.
Thanks, Stich!
Excellent!!!!!
Thanks? I needed this one. I knew the relativity, the 3rd third string anchor helped me make a new connection.
That's some good basics, it sounds delightful.
Dorian...that major 6th wiggled towards the 7th is so fine.
Awesome lesson 👍
This is some gold right here. Not a fan of the pre-amble but Stitch delivers the goods.
Excellent. Very helpful...
Well I’ll be darned! I’ll be practicing this later today, and looking at the mode videos as well!
Stich is the man!
top drawer my man. thanks once again,,,,
Thanks heaps mate
Thanks 😊
Good one, more strength.
Great video Ian. Hope you're doing well. Cheers
Dude u rock!!!!!!
Perfect
thank you sir for that very nice lesson God bless you and your family , from India
Mix 🔥
Nice one.
Excellent : thank u🇫🇷👍🏼🍒
As usual very practical advice and lesson. May i suggest the next topic which is something like "ideas for best phrases right after the opening notes of a solo".
What are the chord progressions for the minor, dorian, and mixo backing tracks?
fire on the mountain is my favorite for mixilidian jamming.
As usual, simple is good. Thanks for using the scale degrees to describe what your thought process is. Using fret and string numbers (TAB) isn't useful for understanding what is going on. Really knowing what parts of the scale you are using is an excellent way to know why you are playing what you're playing and freeing up your imagination. I'm sure there are very good musicians that got there just by knowing the positions of all the frets/strings that count but there is something very satisfying about knowing what parts of the scale are important.
answer
major 2 to3
minor 4 to 5
move are the same
mixo 5 to 6
dorian b7 to 1
rule no 1 pentatonic : always sound good.
when the student is ready, the teacher will appear ... what's up, teach? loving that 'sugar magnolia' for the A major jam, btw :)
Great episode. One question, does a major jam only have major chords? If I'm playing a progression that has major and minor chords, should I play each chords pentatonic or can I stay on the first chord's pentatonic? thank you!
Eric Clapton does that bend on I shot the sheriff on videos on the UA-cam. Bend then solos the he goes in to the song just like your doing now . I can notice because you taught me for 2 years...Roland J Gutierrez from Magdalena New Mexico USA
Cool, thanks. Was just learning Wanted Dead or Alive last night. Apparently the solo is in D Dorian even though the key is in either C major or D major ... the internet doesn't really seem to know. Very weird song.
Bear in mind C major and D Dorian contain exactly the same notes.
Ian, another great lesson. What looper do you like? I am looking for a good one.
Check out his most recent video :)
Im saving money to buy a new guitar also I've made a piggy bank to buy you a good cup of coffee. Thnks man you are the best👌
How do I know if I’m in minor or major if I play power cords? Will it matter at that point? I fairly new(2-3 years of self taught) and I play a lot of punk and just want to learn how to add little leads/solos. Our bands called distorted vision.
Ian!! Do bends work for you on acoustic? All I have is the acoustic right now, and am having trouble hearing the bends or it never bends up all the way (sonically).
tried out a Les Paul this weekend and was enamored with how easy the bend was.
You can bend on acoustic but not as easily. Often the strings are fatter and possibly shorter.
Benders tend to play electric with 8s or 9s on the high end.
Hi Ian, another great video. This is just the type of info that I need at this point in my guitar journey. I am just really getting into soloing and one of the biggest issue I am having, I am sure a lot of new guitarist had or having the same issues of starting their solo off with the 6th string root note. I have found that I really don't like this sound at all, it sounds muddy and horrible to me. Do you have a video posted where you are starting the solo with the 6th string root and it sounds good? Is there even a reasons to do this? I am new and learning and trying to find my sound and style. Also I really enjoyed your becoming the CEO of your Major Pentatonic video, do you have one for the minor pentatonic that covers the same information?

Ta!
OK. So its taken this lesson on how to start a solo to make me realise I play in Dorian and mixoldyian ....After watching so many lessons on modes that I really can't get my head around it took this lesson and something just clicked in my head. What the hell!!
I actually know 4 of the modes!
The easy way to grok mode shapes is put them all in one key (for the 7 diatonic modes at least).
Take C key for example (no sharps/flats to write). CDEFGAB
Ionian CDEFGAB Major
Dorian DEFGABC Minor
Phrygian EFGABCD Minor
Lydian FGABCDE Major
Mixolydian GABCDEF Major
Aeolian ABCDEFG Minor
Locrian BCDEFGA Minor b5. Learn the shape each creates.
Once you learn the shape in C key, they are movable to any key.
Each mode is 1 half step away from the next if you play them from the same tonic starting note and in this order 4152637.
So Lydian is the sharpest mode. Flat that aug 4th to a normal 4th and you have Ionian mode, flat that maj 7 of Ionian to a min 7 to get Mixolydian, flat the maj 3 to min 3 and Mixo becomes Dorian, Dorian is the only (diatonic) minor scale with a major 6th, so flat that 6th to get Aeolian mode (relative minor of the key), now flat the 2nd of Aeolian to make Phrygian mode, and then flat the 5th of Phrygy to make Locrian mode. Then, if you flat the 1 (tonic) you get back to Lydian mode a half step below where you started (in the next lowest key).
Besides in key (diatonic), you can use modes to modulate between keys, like key blending (say chords F C Em + D, playing between C key and G key, or F key and G key).
And you can use them to flavor existing chords. Example: A minor is ACE, so if you strum ACE, I could play A Aeolian (ABCDEFG) from C key, A Phrygian (ABbCDEFG) from F key, or A Dorian (ABCDEF# G) from G key over your A minor because none of the notes that change, Bb or F# , effect the chord but make different sounds or flavors, brighter/happier, or darker/sadder.
Lastly, there are specific situations where the mode is called for: Dorian over m2(7th) + M5(7th). Phrygian m3 to M4, Lydian M4 to M5, Mixolydian M5 to M4. Honorable mention to Harmonic minor (exotic scale) being played in a minor 145 where the 5 is a Major instead...the sharp 7 of the tonic chord (m1) is the Major 3rd of the 5th chord (M5), hence why to use this mode, but you could simply play harmonic minor (ABCDEFG# ) over that same ACE A minor chord for flavor.
I hope this helps.
hey stich another great lesson-I thought a mixo jam would start on the fifth chord-but in your jam track you went from B to A-what makes that mixo? Shouldn't it start on the fifth chord-in this case F#?
B is the 5 of E so this is a 5 4 progression
The fifth interval can be bent in a Mixolydian progression?
The major sixth is the major third of the parent key, I guess.
Thank you so much Mr. Stich. I have more of a problem than a question. I've been learning guitar for many many years, practicing religiously every day for at least 38 minutes. I've never jammed or played in a band. I'm confident that I have a solid knowledge of music theory as it applies to guitars. I can play rythm an arpeggios.
But, God help me, I cannot play solo! I cannot seem to connect with changing chord progressions! What may be my problems? I do know pentatonic scales (major & manor) all five positions! I love your methods, and I've been following you for years.
Can you, please help me understand what my problem is? Please, feel free to use me as a Guinea pig in your lessons. Sorry for this long mumbling.
Thank you.

Hi Ian, Al here, can you explain how you find say, a 9th, or a 13th chord. Thanks Al.
There are some guidelines you can agree with or ignore for chord construction, like "it's not a 9th unless over a flat 7. Otherwise it's just an 'add 9' chord".
But basically, it's like this for determining the intervals: these will change slightly by mode/scale.
Write out a scale in 2 lines, first letter on top, second letter below. This will show all the degrees in 1 line (except the 6th, 4th, 2nd but you'll get those).
Using C key: CDEFGAB, I'll write the 2 lines...
CEGBDFACEGBDFAC
DFACEGBDFACEGBD
Now the first chord will be CEG (C major), the 6th, A, is below but the other intervals are spelled out C1E3G5B7D9F11A13 for that chord. D is 2 or 9, F is 4 or 11, A is 6 or 13, not too hard to figure.
Second chord is Dm: DFA...DFAC, DFACE, DFACEG, Et cetera.
Third chord Em...EGB, EGBD, EGBDF, et cetera.
Note that in different modes/exotic scales a few notes/chords will change. Harmonize each and spell each out in 2 lines as above to see the intervals.
I hope that makes it easy for you.
What key is the fan in?
Schlage.

Let me also say that I love Blues; I play the 12 bar blues, but can't solo over it !
Now where you at Ian?
I don't think that the videos popped up
The dorian thing confused me. You played the same exact scale as the minor pentatonic. So why did you call it Dorian
The chord progression is what is Dorian. Watch my truly understanding modes video
Minor sounds flloydish
Lol is that a Mexican or American Strat not that it matters?
