    🔴 / stichmethod 🔴The song "Ophelia" by The Band is a great tune to jam over. The chord progression is actually kind of complex and offers quite an interesting array of soloing options. I hope you enjoy learning at whatever level of a guitarist you are at. Let me know in the comments how you are doing. All of the videos I reference are listed below.

If I spent 2 weeks with this video, practicing these concepts(hope I do)....it would benefit me more than my last five years of my noodling. Great content Stitch!! Thank you

    I missed this video, and just rediscovered it.
    So much fun and SO helpful.
    I recorded to chords on a looper. It was too fast. So I looped it slowly. THAT did the trick! After about 1/2 an hour at that pace, I went back to full speed with much better results!
    And I’m still only half way thru the video.
    Thanks again for the great content!

    Thank you once again for sharing your talent as a musician and as an educator. Your video lessons are able to get through to me and my rather thick cranium. I'm a former self taught guitar player that, due to hand problems, moved to lap steel. I "translate" as much as I can from your videos so I can apply it to my instrument. I wish I could find a teacher as good as you for direct guidance. You wouldn't perhaps have a sibling that teaches lap steel do you? :) Best to you, Stich.

    So money... Love me some Band. Was wondering if you could maybe do one for "Cortez the Killer" at some point? It's only Em7-D-Am and "simple" to play, but watching Gov't Mule live and playing along with Warren, there's a lot more in there than meet's the eye.. Would love your thoughts on it. It would be in the key of G correct? But there's not G in the song!

E Aeolian w/ a major 7th it is!! That vi-ii-V progression is interesting..So I think I answered my own question..But wouldn't have been able to without Stich Method..Happy Thanksgiving bro!
