Ok, the Chart is Here! $1.49 goo.gl/J8txWK It has the Full F Major Pentatonic F, Minor Pentatonic and F Mixolydian all down the neck, and includes the scales for each style for Hendrix, GD, and Rock/Blues for each chord in the second half of the progression. Backing track is here! ua-cam.com/video/fGEzTq5AAkM/v-deo.html hope you enjoy!
This lesson was AWESOME. So much theory and tearing apart a solo. So much to learn from this. You're the ONLY person on UA-cam that really understands how to teach and apply theory to real songs. Ugh, can't praise you enough for this.
One of your best lessons dawg! Really dug it. I must be a blues guy cause I thought the minor pentatonic was by far the best sound over that progression. I really like these nuts and bolts break downs of why things work. If I had any money I'd send you some of it
you're the man, dude! there's nobody on youtube (or even in real life for that matter) who's contributed more to my ability to play. I stopped playing guitar for about 6 months after 4 years of playing cause i just felt stuck in a rut just using the blues pentatonic and the same old phrases over and over until i stumbled upon your page. Everything from modes and general improvisation you've made me fall in love with playing all over again. Thank you so much for sparking my love for playing! Wish we could jam some day! keep it up man
Ian...thanks so much..this is a brilliant lesson for me as I am not into copying songs note for note..wow you have made my day and opened my mind to so many possibilities ..peace
This was the perfect lesson in my book. I'll never understand why other instructors don't explain what scales are being played over the chord changes. I couldn't care less about what finger, string & fret was played on the record with no explanation, I'm here to learn WHY. Anyway...You got a new subscriber today, thanks.
Every time I hear the new Stich theme I can't not think about the scene in Wayne's World when they're first in the real studio and hear the new produced theme song. Just saying.
I like the Hendrix version using the maj pentatonic until the Dbmaj chord where he switches to the minor pentatonic. Just the right amount of bit of bite and dissonance with the flatted third to end the solo and start the verse. Nice lesson!
Thank you for this lesson. I have a question though. The song is in F Major. I get where using either the F Major or Minor pentatonic is appropriate, but why would it be in Mixolydian (V) Mode if you wanted to go the Jerry Garcia route? Wouldn't F Mixolydian belong to the Bb Major key and F in this song would be Ionian? I'm sorry if this is confusing but I'm stumped no matter how I've tried figuring this out. Thank you again for your time.
I remember this a few years ago did not understand nothing . Now I understand how can I put all this knowledge together with all your videos? I know the talk help me with the walk Mr Stitche oh and thank you...Roland J Gutierrez from Magdalena New Mexico usa 87825.
Honestly man, this was one of the first solos I had learned back a few years now, and I kind of understood it, but this really opens it up in a big picture way, thank you very much! Keep doing what you're doing because it's making a big difference to people like me who want to grow musically and spread the "sounds" as Hendrix might say.
That's something I never understood until this video is what scale is appropriate. Do you keep switching with every chord? Can you just use 1 scale for the whole thing? But I guess multiple scales are perfectly okay at different points in the progression and it's more about what kind of sounds you want out of your lead playing. I never seen it explained so plainly and simple like this. Thank you.
Love this video, it's not long if you're not a beginner and you're already improvising in jams. These kind of videos are a lot better than than that guy who looks like a soap opera actor 🙃
nice lesson. i saw hendrix live in honolulu in august, 1970.billed= band of gypsies w/o miles on drums. could you do a study on johnny winter's stylings on his version of "memory pain"?
Great lesson. Question. You say that the pentatonics are special because they don't contain any notes that are special to the mode that you are in. Can you tell me which of your lessons or feeds discuss this in greater depth? I have just learned about mixolydian pentatonic and discovered every mode has its own pentatonic derived by eliminating the tritone from the scale. Your statement is correct I am sure but it has really thrown me. I will be buying the charts as soon as I get back to civilization and maybe they will clarify that statement, but any advice on what you mean would be really appreciated.
OK. I have been researching your statement and I think I get it. There are three major diatonic scales (Ionian, Lydian, Mixolydian). The notes that distinguish these modes from one another are the 4th, Maj 7th, #4th and min 7th. Since the major pentatonic consists of the 1,2,3,5,6. It contains none of the notes that distinguish one major scale from another. Similarly, there are three minor diatonic scales (Dorian, Phrygian, Aeolian). And the notes that distinguish these scales from one another are the maj 6th, min 2nd, maj 2nd, min 6th). Since the minor pentatonic includes the 1,b3,4,5,b7), none of the notes that distinguish the minor scales from one another are present. So, as always your statement is correct. Thank you Ian.
Ian, outstanding lesson, and great comparisons of choices that result in diff cover styles. Thanks! Resulted in some great "Aha!" learning for me. You've done a bunch of "in the style of" videos. Is there a place for more this type of video, showing how different soloing choices sound like other specific artists doing a cover? What about the inverse approach, too, where you stick with a specific, immediately recognizable solo melody, but use different chord structures with it?
So, I loved this video, it was great. I had to watch it twice - and try a few of the leads. Here is my question: If You wanted to sound “Allman” over this progression, could you have played Dorian? Would Phrygian give you a heavy metal version? I have heard you say that the greats knew what they were doing - but is part of “their sound” just liking a mode, and being predisposed to selecting it most of the time? Or - am I over-simplifying?
Hi Ian, Working my way through all your stuff as it seems your the only guy that makes it both fun and very informative. I've done the Neverlost but my main struggle with this video (don't panic it's not your explanation) is seeing where the next scale is on the neck for each chord change and jumping to it seamlessly. Maybe it's just I'm an old guy learning so things are a bit slower on the uptake lol. Keep up the great work Stitch, your making learning fun again. Lyn.
Man this video ( along with all your other videos) opened my eyes to so much from theory to note selection. I can't thank you enough for what you do. Your videos have gotten me over my plateau.
Thanks for this video,it gives me insight.Im not good enough yet to implement all of the ideas that I have learned from,but I have learned so much.Enjoy your style of teaching,keep up the good work,and I will keep trying to implement the things I learn.
I just discovered this channel and I love it!! I love how you give the theory background to the song rather than a meaningless soup of fret numbers. Really cool!
This lesson far from sucks, one of the best ever, shows the versatility available when writing solo’s. This will break a lot of ruts people may find themselves in. It’s expanded my thinking and understanding and gives so many options!
Man your content is always so amazing and practical. I have been playing guitar for almost 20 years now and I swear I have learned more in a few months with your vids than I can ever recall.
Hi Ian, can you or one of your subscribers explain how to make "donations" to you? I am a 40 year self taught guitar player/performer. I consider myself a pretty well rounded musician who is able to play in a number of different styles. I find your lessons among the best for me that I've ever come across. Thank you for your efforts in explaining all things guitar. Suggestion for a future lesson - technique: right hand picking, bending, vibrato, etc. All the best from Hollywood FL, Jack
Hey Jack, I always get uncomfortable talking about donations, but I will let you know in the description box underneath every video is a link where you can donate however much you like. I can’t thank you enough, for even just a comment and the support. Glad you’re enjoying the channel
Wow!! You said at one point 'I hope this lesson doesn't suck' No way - this is EXACTLY the kind of thing I have been looking for. Thousand light bulbs just went off in my head. Many many thanks!!👍🏻
great insight Ian, sigh I don't know if I'll ever get this. I'm going back in to the blues master class. I just can't think/react fast enough. The genius in all this floors me.
without watching this video i will comment thusly: if one is going to play "the wind cries mary" and goes to the trouble of playing the chord progressions note for note then IMO one should also play hendrix' lead solo note for note as it is an integral part of the song. that being said, knock yourselves out!
@@StichMethodGuitar all of your lessons have been very awesome - i was just offering up some advice to anyone who gets up on stage and plays wind cries mary
Those are in fact C chord tones but they are actually in the F Major Pentatonic. You can hear me saying how he brings in the 5 chord tones, 5 being the C of F, good eye!
That was flat out genius. The Garcia and Mayer examples show how the StitchMethod really works. This lesson puts all that theory into practice - so rewarding! Thank you!
Love your approach and style of teaching... youtubes crowded with people showing note-for-note lessons on songs (which is fine) but this is refreshing!
This lesson is beyond helpful, but SO frustrating at the same time! I hate how easy you make it look to switch from pentatonic (the only scale I know) to mixolydian and diatonic (two scales I'd love to adapt)! Can't believe how Jerry that sounded!!! Great lesson, Stitch ~ True Fan from Mass...
You are the man. Could you do a lesson for guitar players stuck in the shape/ear mode of playing. I have been playing for 11 years and sound good, but feel set in my ways. I have no knowledge of theory and don't know where to start to open up my playing. Thank you!
Hey Stich, speaking of Jerry.... what is it about the Live at Winterland Dark Star jam that makes you go deep within your soul or out into the universe or wherever that place is? 🤯
Cool lesson man! the F mixolydian Jerry style sounds like Saint Stephen to me and I was wondering are the notes of a F Mixo the same as a B flat major? Keep up the great lessons I feel like I'm slowly Getting it you are a wonderful teacher....
Yes f mixo is Bb major, you just want to know where the flat seven and the major third are compared to the F. I show this in the chart, that’s not me trying to get you to buy the chart. Just make sure that you’re not just mentally playing the B major scale, but your locating the F the major third and the flat seven. Rock on and thanks for the kind words.

Extremely good way to get those concepts across, great lesson style here man
That's a true lesson! Understand concepts (chord progression and scales) to make beautiful songs your own! Imitation sucks! Thanks a lot!
Great lesson!! Finally someone who dives into the theory and helps us get into Jimi's head. Teach a man to fish!
You're so good man! And you have a great heart for sharing this with us all 🙏
Great video, thank you. If the key is Bb, is there a good option just sticking in Bb major/minor? Thanks
Ian...thanks so much..this is a brilliant lesson for me as I am not into copying songs note for note..wow you have made my day and opened my mind to so many possibilities ..peace
Epic! Thanks Ian. Love Hendrix, love the ideas. You're the man

Thanks Jim! So glad you enjoyed the channel! Welcome to the club.
Every time I hear the new Stich theme I can't not think about the scene in Wayne's World when they're first in the real studio and hear the new produced theme song. Just saying.
Also, the Jerry Garcia style solo sounds a little like St. Stephen slowed down.
Andrew exactly right
I am getting so much value from these "in the mind of's" Thanks!
I like the Hendrix version using the maj pentatonic until the Dbmaj chord where he switches to the minor pentatonic. Just the right amount of bit of bite and dissonance with the flatted third to end the solo and start the verse. Nice lesson!

18:05 almost pissed my pants. Got my laugh of the day :D
It does not! So extremely helpful you can't even imagine.
Thank you
Love this video, it's not long if you're not a beginner and you're already improvising in jams. These kind of videos are a lot better than than that guy who looks like a soap opera actor 🙃
The soapbar is back! Thanks for another upload stich!
Dude your way of teaching actually connects. If I ever win the lotto I’m hooking you up lol.
How could you not click that title, c’mon. Much appreciated as always.
Just ask Hendrix... lol. Great video for sure. Like the Althea one as well!
Some of the solo parts Remind me of Free Four of Pink Floyd Obscured by clouds
This lesson made me woke on this solo !!!!
Best lesson on the web. Than you!
It c b flat to f for the verse tuned down half step it would be c mixolydian
Brilliant lesson. You’re amazing!!!
You’re the best teacher in 2018 and now in 2022.
The pentatonic scale is God's gift to guitarists!
unbelievable lesson for intermediate players!
F mix is fast Bb major scale starting and ending on F
nice lesson. i saw hendrix live in honolulu in august, 1970.billed= band of gypsies w/o miles on drums. could you do a study on johnny winter's stylings on his version of "memory pain"?

I thought you could.t just play a major scale above appropriate chord and that it had to be a scale related to a key, why does it work here?
My blues primer playlist should help answer that
wow that jerry garcia solo was sweet!
I just discovered this channel and I love it!! I love how you give the theory background to the song rather than a meaningless soup of fret numbers. Really cool!

Wow!! You said at one point 'I hope this lesson doesn't suck' No way - this is EXACTLY the kind of thing I have been looking for. Thousand light bulbs just went off in my head. Many many thanks!!👍🏻
Now THAT was confusing. Also assuming that the listner knows this song rote.
You don't need to know the song at all... He explains the chords.
Getting a real St.Stephen vibe too
Great lesson - thanks so much.
And the wind cries...st. stephen!
great insight Ian, sigh I don't know if I'll ever get this. I'm going back in to the blues master class. I just can't think/react fast enough. The genius in all this floors me.
Learn to solo in the style of stich.
Best lesson ever....
"I hope this lesson doesn't suck"...lol...not at all. This was very helpful to me. Thanks!
That was awesome. Thanks dude.
So what about just playing the I minor pentatonic over the V-IV-I? Is that legal?
without watching this video i will comment thusly: if one is going to play "the wind cries mary" and goes to the trouble of playing the chord progressions note for note then IMO one should also play hendrix' lead solo note for note as it is an integral part of the song. that being said, knock yourselves out!
But that is not the point of this lesson

Unbelievable lessons. Thanks for spreading the sunshine brother. Can’t than ya enough
Keep these lessons up man! So sick and makes me feel that little bit closer to actually understanding this music thing lol.
Sounds like Lynrd Skynyrd.
Great lesson. So, is the song itself in 4 separate keys? Does the key changes once you break out of the 5-4-1 and go to the G and beyond?
This is the first lesson that has help me a lot in a while. Great job man.
Very cool! Subscribed
Good one Mr.Stitch. I stictched you up $1.49 to download the notes! They are very handy takeways, Cheers!
Best teacher on You Tube!
Will take me a while to actually get it kind of right, but that is what i love about your style of teaching. Thanks again
at 4:39 I don't think he is playing the F major pentatonic, he is playing the C chord tones/major pentatonic, right?
Those are in fact C chord tones but they are actually in the F Major Pentatonic. You can hear me saying how he brings in the 5 chord tones, 5 being the C of F, good eye!
Also, this lesson was EXCELLENT!
Bb major scale = F mix
great advice..'play it in my style',good stuff again Ian,people, find your own style that suits you
This lesson does not suck.

Your amazing, you can turn a Hendrix solo into something that sounds like the Grateful Dead!
That’s not true! Anyone can!
Great lesson. The minor pentatonic version sounded Eric "Clapton-ish" to me. I think I like the Jimi H version best. Thanks for expanding the song.
Great lesson thanks
Ian, this lesson does not suck... in fact it’s an eye opener!
Must rewind... Must Rewind...
