    It will take longer to learn to shred but the finished product will be well worth it. This is a great lesson.

    • @abraxas511
      @abraxas511 9 месяцев назад +7

      @@trevortully7179 It sure is. Another thing that screwed me up and still does, is the high and low strings. I cant get it out of my head that the "high" e string is the top E string, and the "low" e string is the bottom one. I know, its weird, but to me the high one is on top, and the low one is on the bottom.
      My friend taught himself to play guitar holding it upside down. He said it made more sense to him to have the thinnest strings the farthest from his reach, than the thicker ones. So when he reaches, he doesnt have to press as hard. Pretty warped, but he was a gifted singer and songwriter so I guess if it works, it works.

    • @tbone5757
      @tbone5757 8 месяцев назад +3

      ​@abraxas511 with the guitar in your lap, hold it up in front of your face and flip it so the fretboard is facing towards you. That's how you gotta picture the fretboard. The low E is on the bottom. I also think about it like the low string is the bottom string. Of course it's the opposite of your right hand picking motion where down is actually towards the floor.

    • @skylee5029
      @skylee5029 8 месяцев назад +11

      ​​@@trevortully7179nah. Musicians need to stop referring to their higher frequency strings as the bottom. Those are higher notes and therefore your higher, upper, or top strings. Your lower frequency strings are your lower or bottom strings. Up and Down needs to always be referred to in terms of frequency for the musician.

    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.

    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!

  • @100papajohn100
    @100papajohn100 Год назад +2

    Nice to see this explained so well. I know this method works because this is how I've been soloing for years. It works. If for whatever reason I lose where the chord is, I just go directly to the pentatonic scale until I get my bearings and then head back to the chord shape. To practice this, play a recording of a song that you know the chords of and follow it with your own solo.

    Thanks Ian! This really clicked. It's not the only way nor necessarily the best way, but as you say, it always works and is easy to get started. I've been jamming to a few backing tracks with this and have taken a major leap forward in lead playing. I'm the rhythm guy who gets to take a solo now and then, and that's fine. But... Band hasn't rehearsed for a week - next week they might be surprised :-)

    This was the most helpful lesson on introductory soloing that I've ever seen/heard. I've been playing for about ten years on & off, and always struggled when it came to any premise of soloing. It was pretty much limited to randomly dancing through scale patterns. This is a great start and can't wait to start experimenting with it. Thank you!

  • @richpeltrick1492
    @richpeltrick1492 4 месяца назад

    Interesting lesson. Focusing on the chord tones instead of getting fancy bending strings all through the solo is a revelation. When I bend strings around a chord scale, I'm pretty darn sure I lose track of where I am going forward until the next chord change. It might sound great when you're doing it but experience has taught me time after time that it's a fishing expedition to get your bearings back into a familiar scale once a chord change happens. I never knew why until this.

    Hey, man. I just discovered your channel. Love it. Thank you so much. This video had me looking back on my own guitar journey. I think it's a mistake to teach beginners scales and patterns. That's how I started learning. Memorizing all the scales, but not knowing ANY application. I wish I had been taught chords, intervals, and triads FIRST. I think I'd be a better player today if I had learned that way. Anyways, fantastic lesson. Thanks a ton. Peace.
