Lyrics
Right outside this lazy summer home
You ain't got time to call your soul a critic no
Right outside the lazy gate of winter's summer home
Wondering where the nut-thatch winters
Wings a mile long just carried the bird away
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world
The heart has it's beaches, it's homeland and thoughts of it's own
Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings
But the heart has it's seasons, it's evenings and songs of it's own
There comes a redeemer, and he slowly too fades away
And there follows his wagon behind him that's loaded with clay
And the seeds that were silent all burst into bloom, and decay
And night comes so quiet, it's close on the heels of the day
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world
The heart has it's beaches, it's homeland and thoughts of it's own
Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings
But the heart has it's seasons, it's evenings and songs of it's own
Sometimes we live no particular way but our own
And sometimes we visit your country and live in your home
Sometimes we ride on your horses, sometimes we walk alone
Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world
The heart has it's beaches, it's homeland and thoughts of it's own
Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings
But the heart has it's seasons, it's evenings and songs of it's own

I LOVE YOUR TEACHING!!! I’M FOLLOWING!!!!!
great stuff
Huge help I now understand this
You rock man. I’ve just broke through a wall with this👊👍
Thank you!!!💀⚡️🌋🙌
In the intro the E is the bottom cord throughout so we have a major seven and then D6 with the E in the bottom and then you go to that regular E with the E in the bottom of the fifth fret
Oh yes
I figured it out
If you listen to the live without a net version and really focus on the bass part during the solo it is actually a B minor rather than a D6, I think the confusion comes from Jerry treating it and approaching it with the D major tonality. But the D major triad over B in the bass is a Bm7
Great stuff...here's another idea to expand our palette: jazz guitarists often relate everything to minor...and Eyes is sort of jazzy......Pat Martino is known for this and he and Jerry had mutual admiration. So for "Eyes"..... Emaj7 think of the relative minor chord...C#m. A C#m triad has related melodic triad extensions and they are E G#m B. So you can play the following triads over an Emaj7 chord: E C#m G#m B It's just another way of mixing up all the same notes but you will end up with some nice non-scalar lines. I got this from Garrison Fewell's excellent book "Jazz Guitar Improvisation: A Melodic Approach"
D6 is the same as Bm7. The chord is Bm but Jerry is using the flatted 7th blue note. he loves the blues and bends into it giving it a D6 sound ( a few cents short of Bm7).
I swear these are the best lessons out there, thank you so much. Miracle!
You can definitely hear the d note in it but it’s actually an open a, take the a-minor shape and move it up fifth fret and play the open a with it.
You are a very good teacher too seem like a very good guy too!! Thanks again!
Gospel of Stitch @ 15:42
that's odd it totally sounds like a Bm to me. when you were noodling in the beginning and went from Emaj7 to Bm that sounded so right to me.
5 years 54k, now 278 k.
You have become the establishment!
I always thought it was Bm...it works, but yea D6 is it
You sir are some kind of cosmic bearded coffee sipping genius. Thank you
Stich- I love your channel! Thanks so much for the lessons and fun.
Holy shit dude! You are a great teacher! This is the 2nd time you helped me understand Jerry. The 1st was Franklins Tower lesson. Eyes of the World is my favorite Dead song.
Amazing person...great guitarist.
Stitch you are an absolute legend. The best lessons around.... that actually exactly like you said fill in all the important stuff that other videos miss out. and I love that there are adverts on your channel that are for other guitar lessons! hahaha but everyone knows this is where its at!
Stich your videos are great. Jerry's genius knew no bounds!
Great stuff
This is pure gold!
YOU are pure gold
Hey thanks for filling in the missing gaps stich! All of your lessons are the best I have come across! It's your vibe man!! I am now jamming so much better on all the dead tunes the band plays more importantly my understanding of what I have been doing in past compared to now has been very helpful! Thanks man!!
"Sometimes you get shone the light in the strangest places if you look at right"
I found your page while searching for something unrelated to the Dead. What a freaking treasure trove! Thank you, you have a gift brother and thanks for sharing it!
Started Pt1 of Master Class, loved it. Had to take some time off to deal with chores on my farm, looking forward to Fall when I can get back at it. Pt 2 will be welcome when it arrives 🎶😎
86k way to go dude! great lesson as always. thank you.
Mind. Blown. Definitely the D6 makes so much more sense. Been playing the Bm for 40 years, but it always sounded like a jarring interval. The D6 is a tension interval. The D has always been my target note soloing over tat chord, the B is already in the E maj7. And when the A comes in the line is chromatic from Eb, D, C#.
You are a great teacher! Your method is a fabulous way of conveying a logical,and practical approach to understanding how it all works! KUDOS to you Brother! Now do a Stich method on The Beatles......please!!!
mmmmmmmmm, been waiting for this!
I had a hard time hearing the Bm until I started working that high B which I guess is part of the D5th, and plink it once again when coming off the A back to the Emaj7 . Not that I know what I'm doing, just trying to put it together.
One of my all time favorite Dead songs, Eyes has gorgeous solo work on guitar.
Thanks for posting this and I love the Tiger model Cherry guitar you have!!
Two thumbs up!
Holy shit dude, when did you hit 86k? Weren’t you at like 50 a couple weeks ago?? Congrats
StichMethod Guitar saying 87k for me now 🙃 even if it’s a glitch, I’m sure you’ll be blowing up here pretty soon lol
Yes please for blues caged stuff. I've learnt a lot of solo stuff but really have no ideas about chords all over the neck.
cool discussion on "Eyes" - we do use the Bm, btw...but either way, that little BB Box on the 10th-12th position works great (D,E,A,B,(Eb),F#) for soloing over this progression. You can hang on that position and get a lot of great leads and easy transition chord-to-chord
Oh, I totally get it - and I'm going to go listen to some versions, maybe I'll hear it differently now. The Dead have a lot going on in their jams and often change things around. We decided to use the studio version with the band to get the structure nailed down because the live versions tend to vary a bit.
love your videos bud. just subscribed. been watching you for a couple days. i’m a deadhead for life man, just seen bob for the first time in 17 at wanee with trey anastasio . so i’m very appreciative of your videos man. taught me a lot.
Hey Ian, finally got a chance to really absorb this, never heard this song as my dead vocabulary is limited, helping me a ton with the major scale!
I get what you're saying.Bob often leaves the root off,because Phil is covering the bottom of the chord.But in this case,Phil always starts with the B as his base. From a guitar point of view ,if there is a bassist,if you put that low D in there ( the D barre chord),you'll get some funny looks.Hence,that is why it's a B minor chord ( Bm7 works too). The D6 could work too, although I've never seen Bob use that particular inversion.
@StitchMethod Guitar - you're a great teacher and very good guitar player. Thanks for the videos. As a point of clarity, the intro chord progression for Eyes is: Emaj7 > E6 > Emaj7. It took me years to figure this out as all the tabs and youtube videos never sounded quite right. But 100%, the chord nobody can figure out is an E6, not a Bm or a D6 as you suggest. The E6 is played like an open Am chord starting at the 5th fret with your pinky anchored on the E (A string 7th fret). I hope this helps. I think Bobby plays an E6 add 9 while Jerry plays the E6. Watching the Grateful Dead Movie helped me figure out the E6 as there is a good view of Jerry playing the opening progression. I'm not trying to call you out, just trying to help!
Saw your comment on another post... the Bm part is the Jam section, not the opening. Yeah, the opening has the E6, but the Jam is a different monster
I got what you were getting at right away. It's that one note before you go back into the E major that sells it.
My favorite Dead song. Gracias.
On some versions of the tune, Bm seems true.
Escape plan M7.
so I'm trying to catch up when did you make all these videos and the eyes of the world solo. I know I'm probably way behind...
Hi. Sounds great and learning alot. I've been playing this song forever - it sounds good to hold the Emaj7 for the whole measure, but I have always hammered from Emaj7 to a straight A major (both open position) at the beginning of the vamp. You get that downward sound from B to A on the A string that way too.
You are absolutely helping me to “stitch it together”. I’ve always loved “eye’s of the world” because of the strange yet beautiful melody, also the rhythm. Apparently its in the same time signature as Pink Floyd’s “money”, which is 7/4 i believe. Difference Is that Pink Floyd’s moves to a 4/4 for the “money” jam and the Grateful Dead stay in the tricky 7/4 for the entire song. But what Ive always found strange and beautiful was “eye’s of the world” solo. Now I understand what Jerry was doing moving between an Amaj scale then shifting to an Emaj scale for the Emaj7 part, subtle yet profound. I feel a slight, playful Eb Locrian , just a tease for the Emaj& transition. Ive always found the Locrian and Phrygian modes to have a eastern mystique, they are similarly exotic sounding when you play them in the same key. Im thinking of the F# Phrygian in Jefferson Airplanes “white rabbit “ that Jorma opens the song with. It can be played in a F# Locrian with a similar feel. I feel a lot of that playfulness in Jerry’s style and I know that He was a big influence on Jefferson Airplane. They lived in the same house for a while in the mid 60’s. No doubt listening Miles Davis’s “sketches of Spain” while experimenting with “Owsley’s” magical potion led them all deep into the mystery of the Modes. Thanks again, you are the best Guitar teacher Ive ever had my brother! Keep up the good work!!
I know you addressed it in another video, but in master class 2 I'd like to see phrasing a little more, and blues licks. I went through the blues primer and class one twice.
I see 86k. You deserve this and much more, Ian. Top notch quality and delivery. More Masterclass asap :)
Love the suggestion of interval integration (as opposed to riff memorization).
And as you've mentioned, more focus on rhythm. I'd love to see some focus on triplet patterns.
You've gotten much smoother playing since you started this channel!
Hey another cool lesson Ian!
As for subscriber count, my counter says 86k now also, even though it was at 54k during the stream. I swear when I first turned on the stream I thought "Boy Stich has been at 54k for a long time, I'm surprised because I know there's a lot of enthusiasm about the channel". So I bet 86k is real and that sitting at 54k was the glitch. Hope so!
The stichmethod should come to terrapin crossroads in san Rafael California.
Hope you get this. I am having a great time with your lessons and live chats. Being just two years into playing and getting a rather late start in life at it.
I have found my biggest problem has been in Palm muting.
This might seem silly, however because of an accident in my youth I have no real meat along the side of my right hand.
Any tricks you may have come across in your experiance or anyone else who might have a suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks and looking forward to the blues master class part 2!
Hi Ian! Are you still planning on posting charts for this video? Please!!!
Stich! Idk if you're still wanting suggestions for volume 2, but I'm throwin mine out there.
Can you cover right hand 12 bar blues rythym playing!! I understand all the chord positions like you asked in this video, but creativity seems to be a problem for me.
I hope you dive a little deeper into Texas style 12 bar blues. I understand and have been playing Chicago style but I can't seem to pick up the Texas style swing even with the lessons you have now. Help!
Whether or not you cover any of this, I'm so effin ready for Vol 2!
I like the jazzy flavor of an Emaj7 vamp on the intro. I get what you saying with too much of a 'drop' to the Bm sound. Try from the 'A' shape Emaj7 drop to an Emaj6 or C#m inversion then to the 'D'shape Emaj7. Not sure I am making sense on a year old video. I am not saying I don't see the D6. I am hearing that smooth JG drop in sounds. Kind of like that slide you talk about down back into the Emaj7. Cheers. Just thinking out loud....You would still be a great teacher if you didn't know how to play guitar, you playing is a bonus. Thank you sir.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Maybe you got a surge of subscribers from your mixolydian verse Dorian cuz that was one freaking awesome lesson bro
OK SO ITS EMAJOR SCALE OVER THE EM7 AND A MAJOR OVER THE BM I THINK
RLMUD yup!
@@StichMethodGuitar YEA,im having trouble switching from the e major scale to the a major scale. I need to find that note that will connect the two scales. Im not schooled only play by ear so it takes me a bit to figure things out. I grabbed all your ideas from your bertha lesson, and love it. Thanks so much
Have charts dropped for this lesson yet?
Hey Ian, great lesson! What loop pedal are you using in this video? Thanks!
First video I've seen with someone on a Phred guitar that can actually play. Not a great representation of the sound the way you recorded it, but I know that's not the point of the video. I'm very interested in the Phred guitars, but since it's unlikely that I'll find one to try, I'd like to hear one recorded well by someone that knows how to play.
Hey Stich, hope you are well. Is the Blues CAGED going to cover some minor CAGED? Haven't found anything good on minor CAGED on the net. Hoping you would put something together. Thanks brother!
What about E mixolydian in the first jam.
I don't think so because E mixolydian has a natural D. The Emaj7 chord has a D#. Those would probably clash.
Some of the old versions go to a G#minor,. Which sounds killer, with Phil bombing the root note. Why did they drop that from the song??
Would love to learn guitar from scratch again.. would you have a class to start?
Hey there love ur channel love the content very entertaining. I was working on eyes and get the jam and all but I've been trying to figure out what happens toward the end of most versions of eyes of the world it usually alternates between the Emaj7 and Bm or D6 but then it seems to go to some sort of diminished run and then alternates between what sounds like Emaj7 and whatever that dim thing is before the end of the jam ,it almost sounds like the help slip ending when the don't go to fanklins tower ...hopefully this a males sence ...lol . well hopefully you can shed some light , I've looked all around at eyes lessons on the internet and you tube and no one had went that deep into the jam . I figured your probably the best person to ask . There's a good example of this in about the 10-11min mark of the eyes of thw world from October 19 1974 . Thanks
Just curious, and I am being genuine, why do you vibrato on the root? I don’t really hear JG doing that.
Wait, now I'm not sure. D'oh!
Great work on his Ian, thank you!🙏🏻
Could you please do ITMO: John Mayer "If I ever get around to living"? I think you would really enjoy doing it and UA-cam needs it. Plenty of lessons on the basic part of the song but no one touches the jam sections. Please and thank you!
Still 86
Will the Blues Master 2 course also be on Udemy channel ?
I see 86k
I think I get it.lol
Play some Grateful Dead ,before the lesson!
Hey Stich. Love your videos. I recently purchased Blues Master Class 1. One question though. Do you have no love for lefties? Your accompanying charts are right handed only. How about some charts for us lefties out there? It would be much appreciated. As with most published material I'm forced to load everything into photoshop and manually flip everything over. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. Your teaching style has advanced my playing by leaps and bounds.
MrCsim2 email me! I have leftie charts for the master class. StichMethod@gmail.com ,my wife is a leftie!
StichMethod Guitar Hey Stich I’m a leftie too! And a big admirer of yours I’ve purchased both Master Classes 1 and 2 Any chance you could send me the left handed charts Btw you’ve turned me on to Phish Thank you How about a lesson on the song Dirt Some great guitar in that
Thanks again your friend Dermot- from London England
+Dermot Woods email me at StichMethod@gmail.com
Hey Stich, just had a chance to watch this lesson and wanted to say thanks. Eyes is my favorite song of all time, I even have it as the ring tone on my phone. I will be watching this video again. I have to ask, what guitar are you playing in this video? It looks so much like the Doug Irwin guitars Jerry used to play. Thanks again.
It’s a Phred Instruments Dead Bolt
Thanks.
A year late and a few dollars short but I think you are onto something with the D. But here is the WEIRd thing: I think they MAY use both ways. Because I will play it one way along with one version of the song and it sounds great, then switch versions and that second note sounds off. Then other times it sounds like the even change the Em7 after the first 3 strums. They are always fluid and changing but I notice it alot with Eyes.
I find that my beard grows best when I drool on it while I nap.
Here is a question What about E mixolydian? I use that all the time when soloing over eyes. No mention of E mixolydian?
On top of the Emaj 7 the flat 7 of the mixo clashes quite hard and is not the proper scale. Although the second chord , the Bm the E mixo works fine because B Dorian and E Mixolydian are the same scale and proper scale for that part.
Actually what I more accurately should have said is that if you are in the E major scale and you hit the D note (flattened 7th) over the B minor it totally works and sounds very Jerry. Its the D over the B minor that does it. I was also fooling around, after watching your video, and found that the D major scale basically worked over the B minor and you can then slide whatever you are doing two frets back the the E.
Hey Stitch...is masterclass 1 a good course for a beginner,I'm new to guitar and I really want to learn blues guitar,if it's not do you have any courses for a complete beginner.
Go through the blues primer first and then see what you think. Class 1 builds on that. I say yes.
Jimi...is the blues primer on the you tube channel
William Brigance it is

It's definitely Bm
It's actually an E6. The intro progression is Emaj7>E6>Emaj7
@@imapocock5494 right, but I'm talking about the jams in the middle. Emaj7 >Bm and Emaj>Bm>A
Yeah the E6 is in the opening, not the jam part
@@StichMethodGuitar My bad, fellas. Could've sworn you were talking about the intro. 1st jam is Emaj7 > Bm7 then next jam is Emaj7 > Bm7 > A. After the lyrics are done, they vamp on a Emaj7 then go into an Ab minor at least they do that in the early 70s versions. Can't vouch for anything in the 80s.
I h8 it when people slip there coffee :)*
As for the whole Bmin vs. D6 aspect, I wonder if it would be helpful to know what Phil is playing on bass.
My guess is that Phil is probably just as free on the actual progression as the rest of the band. They say that the bass player is the one who decides what the root chord is, but considering how free this whole song was throughout all the times it was played, I'd venture to say Phil likely never played it the same either. I mean even Bobby has at least four or five different variations of chords he would run through in Eyes during the verses and jams, so it would probably be hard to nail down totally. I'd just say it's like a modal jazz piece with variations on a central theme. I'm sure sometimes the chord was a Bmin and sometimes it was D6. Either way, it was always Eyes. I've found it to be the hardest Garcia guitar song to really nail down the changes smoothly. Just as he said, no one else could/can play that one like Jerry.
Does this make sense? 👍
It's a Bm - Jerry is def not playing a D
its a B6
Yes
My phone states 65,000.
Yeah it was a glitch
Don't let fame change you😇
Would also appreciate more trad blues. Have absolutely no love of phish or dead. But love real blues.
i think the bass is playing a b
awesome cant wait for the chart
Too technical. Most people here on youtube can't understand this bro
I want you to look at the comments and realize you do not speak for “most people on UA-cam” have a nice day
@StichMethodGuitar don't have to be a d*ck. Sorry I hurt your feelings . Peace ..
You did not hurt my feelings, I think you were offending the students on UA-cam. Most of which enjoyed and retained the information from the video. If it’s too technical for you, you can say, “this is too technical for me, I can’t understand this” right? Again, not to offend you, I am neither upset or hurt, I just don’t understand why individuals hide behind a group mentality when poo-pooing something.
you really don't need to say the fret numbers for your scales...
I have been asked to so I do
