THANK YOU! Finally somebody that showed the relations between pentatonic scales and chords. You have no idea, how necessary this video is.

[Jim-gz]

I’ve been a player most of my life. Watched a bunch of instructors on you tube but I have never ever come across someone who could get me inside my head so fast. It’s unbelievable, stitch is a bloody genius. I’m 75 and I am a stitch fan and follower for the remainder, which I hope is a long time! God bless you man!

[basilcarter]

Stich , I,m 70 yrs. have been a dead Head from the beginning, and you r the one that keeps me going you amaze I learn something from every video Thanks Man, u r a excellent Teacher, your the Bombdigadee Dude.

[fabianleus]

The helicopter was searching for the best guitar teacher on youtube. Pilot is probably blind. We already found the dude 😊. Thank you for teaching us so much. Gtrz Fab.

[oliverchapman]

I’m a guitar teacher myself, and I still always learn something helpful from your videos. Our love of the same music. Well Done 👍 Thank you

[Nate-fgoe]

THIS. This is the key I’ve been missing. I’ve been playing for probably 20 years. I can memorize songs no problem but I always struggled with soloing and improvising. This helps!

[richardskuta]

I’ve been playing for 45 years I would strongly encourage any beginner level guitar players, and combined this lesson with the caged System (they’re pretty much the same thing)
It will take longer to learn to shred but the finished product will be well worth it. This is a great lesson.

[mr.mckinnon]

Thank you.

I'm a self-taught guitarist. (Mel Bay and Guitar magazine). After 25 years of playing, I still had questions. I got stuck on a solo. Had no idea what to do. It felt like I was out of ideas. Then I found Mr. Stitch.

I applied one of his lessons, (singing your solo). And it changed the way I was approaching the song. And, it worked.

Thanks.

[josephmofield]

Best lesson in YouTube history right there.

[HomedogNik]

Glad you're back, your lessons are a huge inspiration for me to sit down and practise the guitar.

[TheDdkk]

Wow, what a fun and easy to follow lesson. Within minutes I've been playing to backing tracks in a different, and maybe more musical, way. Keep up the great work!

I’m a singer/songwriter/frontman who started in open tuning. Have wrote some great rock n roll tunes on there. Even some ballads. Have relied on other people for gigs & recording the music because I’ve always wanted to stay in “my lane”. Around December last year I fell in love with the Dead. Jerry Garcia, his playing, it’s changed my life. Was jamming with my friend and did a pretty decent solo on his standard tuning. Didn’t really know what I was doing but I’ve always had an ear I trusted & believed in. He amped me up & since then I’ve been encouraged to learn this instrument, truly. I’ve seen many teachers on YouTube. IAN, YOU ARE SPECIAL BROTHER. In these months, I’ve soaked up this knowledge of your holy grail. I’m so proud of myself and of the journey this has been & will continue to be. Currently I’m visiting Minneapolis, going to Paisley Park tomorrow. 2 weeks ago I performed with Richie Cannata at the oldest rock n roll club in NYC(my hometown born & raised there).

I HAVEN’T EVEN WATCHED THE VIDEO YET LMAO I just wanted to say thank you. Cheers to you. Cheers to your family. Glad you’re posting. And may you continue to light the way for others brother. Peace ♊️🌒🥃

[hologram]

You're one of the best teachers on the planet. Finally someone who makes it SIMPLE. BECAUSE IT IS!

[rickygkilla]

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO MADE IT CLEAR HOW TO TRANSITION. THANKS A LOT MAN

[get_downed_boi]

STICH you dont even know man. you taught me more about improv more than any teacher out there! all you past grateful dead videos have made me 100x better of a player! plus with 2 dollar pdfs u cant beat that! thank you !

[caljerm]

This clicked with me in a way that a thousand other things over the course of decades never have. Thank you - this is really fantastic.

[annieo.]

You are an incredible teacher, Ian. I feel like I’m gaining insight by leaps and bounds. I’ve watched several of your videos in the past but hadn’t checked out your Patreon until just this week. I am soooo glad I did. There are multiple online and in-person instructors I’ve been learning from the last 5 years and I do learn from them all but you, by far, are the best at breaking things down and getting concepts across. And your passion for guitar and being creative is contagious and inspiring. Plus somehow you make it feel like we are truly in a “room” working together. I didn’t think I could become any more obsessed with my guitar journey than I already am but my excitement just skyrocketed. Thank you for all you do!

[Aja]

[darrenowens]
