Every time I release a video on YouTube, I make a series of extra content and practice sessions that go deeper. I'm adding new videos all the time! Can't wait to see you there.

When playing a guitar solo, we all want to sound good. Sometimes even when we practice our scales , we don't get the end result we were looking for. In this video, we are going to take a simple Pentatonic Scale and discover easy, known moves: Slides, Bends, And Tempo, that appear in all of our favorite guitar solos, and learn how to implement them.

Bro you literally the best teacher on YouTube. All those advertisements I get on YT talking about how you can’t become good on guitar watching videos from YouTube is all BS because your Chanel exist.

I enjoyed the artwork in the background

I recall some advice Guthrie Govan gave when asked how to solo. He said to not always resolve on the root note. As you said Stitch, use the other chord tones. This a great video!

[leimaniax]

Thank you Ian. You’re a legend teacher. No soap opera. Just tons of incredible and useful wisdom. Thank you for sharing your energy with us.

HOW? How is it possible that, after trawling the internet for hour after literal hour, can 1 lesson make sense of so many different aspects of guitar playing!? Wonderful lesson making clear sense of phrasing! Thank you so much. Instant fan!

[jezzbass]

“ bend before you end” & “ pace before you phrase” love it !!!

[andyhp]

Before music comes the soul, and although I don’t know this man in person, he seems like one of the good guys. Which in addition makes him a great player and teacher. Thank you.

[TheQuietRiot]

Gald to see you back to teaching and hope you and your family are doing ok despite your loss

[dogzillamonster]

Been watching StichMethod vids during the lockdown and my basic Blues Theory has been enormously enhanced. Have progressed from an open-chord CFG, ADE player into a completely new universe of fun. Thank you so much!

This man is teaching me a lot and I'm learning a lot he is so underrated youtube teacher

[efsglass]

As always, great lesson and well explained! Also loving the added features to the videos. Such as zooming in on fret hand, the words scrolling on further explaining and of course your daughters pic!!!

To everyone else reading this.. if you are not a patron member you are really missing out. I quit the $25 a week half hour lessons, quit buying memberships to guitar sites etc etc. $15 a month gets you more than you need. And me personally, nobody else explains this stuff in such in Easy way to understand..

[MustafaBaabad]

Yes, Ian this lesson makes the sole more sound like music instead of just like dry mechanical pentatonic.
Cheers from Indonesia.

I'm giving your dad many likes and thanks! This pretty much sums where I'm at, as I've been phrasing over the pentatonic scale by ear for a while now and pretty much explains what I've been trying to do

Slide in
Bend to End
Speed up the landing

Great lesson!!! Thanks!!!

[jpalberthoward]

What I hear more than anything else is you just simply taking your time, like you're telling a story.
Nobody would want to listen to a guy talk if he speed rapped like a tobacco auction and yelled at the top of his lungs all the time. Those things are dramatic devices, and they're very effective if used sparingly. The same goes for a whisper or a dramatic pause for effect. What it comes down to is having some idea of what you want to do before you start. What you have shown here is a very real and tangible way of getting there, taking the abstract and giving it form.
Very nicely done!

[ericheine]

Slide and land. Bend and resolve.
Speed up and nail it. Stitch I'm not your best student. But I want to thank you very much for your help. You Reach Me. Nice bite-size lessons. Thank you

[DD-eight]

Man I had to give a thumbs up just for the sign your kid made behind you!! That’s awesome!!!

[chrisharribo]

Great to see you back, I hope you feel more like facing the world.
Love your lessons.

[tonymccormick]

Many thanks. I did some of these things sometimes. Good to know I was on the right track. Thank you

[JB-ovel]

Love this. Your intro - the up and down the pentatonic solo...that’s me! I can play songs and run those solos and such. But when I try to do my own, I freeze and seem to just play the pentatonic. So this video is great and I’ll add it to another video of yours, how to create a solo - play a lick, play a similar version with a note different, repeat the original lick and then have a fun solo lick.

Thanks for making great lessons that make sense and help us become better musicians!
