      He just put alot of guitar teachers out of business...in ONE brilliant lesson.
      This " IS THE KEY" we all have looked so long for...I wish I had said " a game changer" because this is the absolute meaning of this "Soloing on guitar method " Stiched " brilliantly together!

    After watching this, you remember countless blues solos you've heard are patterned this way. It's like most others are teaching you how to dig a hole by showing you dirt and different holes, while he's showing you how to wield a shovel.

    • @toddkuznitz3629

    This may be the most important guitar lesson that I have seen in years on any online platform! You could not have conveyed this information any better. When you illustrate with your playing and explain the changes, it really highlights the ideas. Extremely valuable lesson!

    You are genuinely the best guitar teacher on UA-cam. I’ve learned more from your videos than anyone - and there are some incredibly gifted teachers on this website. Sean is great, but I love the structure and focus on lead playing that you have. Paul David’s is great with production value but you just absolutely kill it. Never Lost Pentatonic took things off the ground for me and stuff like this really takes that to the next level. Never give up man

    The way you’re teaching this stuff is incredible. It’s useful to beginners and experienced players at the same time. I’ve been playing for 16 years and the way you’re giving these lessons is getting me to look at the fretboard in a new way.!

    WARNING: This is a video which "pros" dont want you to watch.this is a video which changes your playing. you will be never same again.
    i am a UA-cam taught guitarist. i guarantee you noone noone shares these steps.
    everybody shows you how to ride a cycle, motorbike or car. but nobody actually shows you the path. but this man here is saying "you can even walk, here is the path"..
    note: editing this comment. just tried this method and believe me or not it makes much more sense now. just yesterday i was playing on a backing track and it wad NOODLING. tried this method and it bamm. i was ENJOYING MY PLAYING WITH CONFIDENCE.. thank you so much.. ❤️❤️❤️🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

    Haven't been able to catch up for awhile but after playing for 30 years I have been blessed as a rhythm guy/ singer but always had trouble playing leads much less mixing. I learned so much from you in the last year, I'm starting have way more confidence beginning to play open mics , falling in love with playing alI over again 😎✌🏼. Thanks man

  • @johnwigger49
    @johnwigger49 4 роки тому

    Been traveling all week so I have not had an opportunity to watch this until this morning. WOW Ian what a great way to make you think and give you purpose every time you pick up the guitar and try to play over at 12 bar blues. Yes, opportunities to improvise, but with the purpose of creating and coming back to a solid and maybe quite simple melody. Really love it. Improvising and thinking at the same time.

    Stich brings always in the „Missing link“. I have learned a lot scales and concepts in the past from personal teachers, True Fire courses and so on. But Stich is the first who shows me in an easy and understandable way to bring all this things together. That makes sense!

    Why didn't any of my previous guitar teachers teach me this?
    Honestly, "They hide this from you" would be an appropriate headline here.
    I can already see how this framework can be used to build riffs, chord progressions, and melodies.
    Truly missing puzzle piece level stuff.
