My friend really needs all our help. I am so thankful at the outpouring of support for him. I totally appreciate everyone here. It really means a lot.

Best teacher on YouTube. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.

[gospelballer]

As a train conductor I enjoy the analogy to trains. 😁

[stevebrophy]

I love this guy. His approach to teaching and his humanity is real.

You, Sir, are a GENIUS! What is so wonderful about this song, is that it offers TIME….time to explore between versus…. Explore between WORDS actually. This song and the bpm are an ad-lib guitarist DREAM. When you have such a beautiful melody, chord structure-SIMPLE CHORD STRUCTURE, it allows us guitar players ample time to create beautiful leads, fillers, etc! But Y-O-U my friend are a MASTER of conveying the information. The information that we ALL have in our heads and transferring what is in our head to OUR hand, ultimately, to the fretboard! Thank you-Thank you-Thank you!!

After years of listening to the dead and having a deep appreciation for Jerry’s improv, it was my brother who pointed out that Garcia is an absolute master of this technique as a one key foundation to his soloing!!!

[magnethomewood]

What people often call 'genius' is exactly this ... taking something so simple and making it so cool. Thanks, Stich, for another great and inspiring leeson!

[sichuancowboy]

I say this in pure earnest, you might just be one of the greatest guitar teachers I've ever come across. Your teaching style is insanely intuitive, your attitude is infectious, and your production quality is ace. I hope you continue to grow and grow!

[peelarat-hijuelos]

Why haven't I seen this teacher before ? You are natural teacher because I can tell your having a good time doing it.

[Rocklsu]

Over the years I’ve watched guitar instructors on YouTube but none have taken it to that level of easy understanding as you. Hands down you are the best “teacher” on YouTube. Your the only one I watch now. Thank you very much.

[lightfoot]

real person here and a great teacher..Thank you for the no nonsense real character..much appreciated...

[erikhendrickson]

Bringing in some TRIAD chord tones can really bring this up to another level, especially if you substitute it for the root note at the end of a phrase!

[timbradley]

Great “training”! (I am the caboose on the improv train.) Interestingly, when Joe Pass was asked for the umpteenth time how to become a better improviser, his answer always was “Learn the tunes!” My favorite “melody” improviser is Amos Garrett, with Jerry Garcia (“Me & Bobby McGee”) on the list, too. A lot of great country players do this, especially on ballads. Actually, one guy really good at it is Willie Nelson! Thanks — great lesson!

Best explanation of melodic solo technique I’ve ever heard. Great job.
If I can add also, sometimes leaving space (not playing) is just as important as playing.
Just like in life we have positive and negative space (my guitar is positive and the space around it is negative) music only exist as sounds and space between the sounds.

[scoots]

Mr Stitch, great video lesson!!! A great example of this is a video now on YouTube of Bob Dylan’s 30th Anniversary concert, at the very end every guest is on stage playing Knocking on Heaven’s Door with Eric Clapton in the background playing exactly what you’re talking about… it’s fantastic!!! The video isn’t the best but still must watch/listen for all that are interested in your lesson!

[billfulcher]

Hi Stich! I am a retired RN. Retired in 2019. I am also a veteran. I took up playing guitar when I retired. Thank you so much for this lesson. The video has shown me how to add melody to the songs I am learning. Knocking on heavens door is the first song I am learning to play. Bill

[TheMatureArtist]

At last a teacher that does not leave me dazed and confused. Love his calm friendly approach and great way at looking at things.

[rays]

I watch a ton of YouTube guitar classes from some very excellent instructors but, my man, you are the best! You not only explain what you are doing better than anyone else, you also cover areas of playing that no one else does. You have a gift, thanks for sharing it with us all.

[LESSISMOREMOREORLESS]

I'm stich, stich, stichin' up all my chor-a-ords! hey, hey hey hey! :) I'm hopin' back, on the melody track!

[eross]

how have i never heard of this “Train” analogy. for me. genius. you just unlocked soloing for me. thanks you
