You have to play with other people at some point, just so you can feel what its like to create, groove, and get in the "pocket". Using StichMethod Jammers or any other resource to get your true musicianship flowing should be in your plans.

You know Ian your 1 billion % right this what the teens did back in the 80's there was no social media crap, the guys and girls were practicing in basements garages anywhere, it didn't matter how good you were there was always someone to help you along , the world is different today I know , maybe people just don't trust or maybe social media has made us distance ourselfs who knows but your so right with this, I feel like this , on a continual practice session

Nothing better than playing with other people. Thatās how anyone really get better. You are the man Stitch.

Playing with others (even just ONE other) is huge, makes everything more fun!

Happy New Year, Ian!!!
I have been telling young players they need to play with others for decades. It forces you to get better and it's as fun as is possible. Great advice!!!

Stitch, thatās a great idea of you trying to build a network of musicians to jam with.

This is so true, Iāve had my own YouTube channel playing with backing tracks for two years now and everything sounds the same going back through them. But when I sit down and play with someone else or to what music I like to listen to itās such a different feeling. Excellent advice.
|
Another thing to note from this video is to share the love of music with those around you.
After I started learning guitar I started encouraging those around me to join in on the jam and now weāre working out way to making a band! The opportunity to teach your buddyās tricks on guitar and then eventually have them reciprocate lessons to you is the trippiest thing ever, def worth tryingš¤ā”ļø

This is absolutely true , cause you learn how other musicians approach chord progressions and playing styles
|
Good sound advice ! I have been playing over 50 years but i've learned a few things from watching your videos . And i' certainly owe much of my musical knowledge to the many experiences i have had making music with other people. People who are better than me and those who aren't as good as I am. And i'm certain that i'm not done learning yet ! My playing is a work in progress. A lifelong journey . I think you have to be open minded and be willing to watch and listen and learn....even if you've been at it as long as i have. I like your videos and teaching style. Keep up the good work ! Thank you !

Absolute truth...
I literally have just experienced this first hand. About 2-3 months ago I had found this local bar that does "open jam" every week and have met a lot of really talented artists and gained a lot of cool new friends.
It has definitely helped me open up my playing over all though. It's pretty crazy how much of a difference it makes to play with others rather than a backing track. Before hand I would have considered my self the typical 'intermediate' guitarist who felt like was in a rut. I played bass with some of my friends in the past in like high school, but it's been such a long time since I've played live at house parties and such. So, from after college I've just been your typical average every day bedroom jammer that would noodle around over a loop/back track for a while to have some fun/practice.
But it's nothing like the real deal.
Fortunately there is a local person who goes around and films all sorts of open mics and concerts. So she is there every week pretty much which makes things really helpful to go back and learn from watching/listening to yourself..
Case in point: This was around the very beginning when I went to my first open jam - https://youtu.be/ePObGG_3LyA
Okish... can put together some cool ideas here and there and noodle around on an idea of playing Sand by Phish.
But over time I have loved going back and listening to myself and learning from little stuff that makes my playing not so fluid and organic....
Now I've gotten to the point of feeling very comfortable and confident with listening to other band members and letting a jam build organically while maintaining your certain harmonies and chord progressions.
This was yesterday, had a lot of cool ones, but these were my favorites of the night. After watching these on film I've been able to get a lot of confidence in my playing... and it's super fun.
These two were especially fun (excuse the raspy voice, just got over a cold lol) :
Jibboo - https://youtu.be/Zk3zQC3NmqM
Caspian-ish(?) - https://youtu.be/mIxCaLOKOrU
So go on and look up open mics around your area! Never know what hidden gems you might stumble upon.
Thanks again Stitch for all videos I've binged over the years. :)

AMEN Brother..Thanks...

Watching this one day before my first jam session! Thanks for all the good work Ian keep it up!!
2 |
Probably the best advice I've been given
|
Nice Mic, sounds like I'm right in the room with you.

happy New Year Ian!!

i just discover your channel... and above the fact that you make me think of Jack Black (in a good way :D ) your channel is clearly inspiring ! thanks !
|
I enjoy back tracks.
I get what you are saying though. My former teacher used to jam with myself & 3 other students.
It was fun, but material was songs that he had written, no cover songs at all. Complicated chord changes, none of us could keep up. Other attempts to jam with other musicians consisted of them dominating & me listening. If I were younger, Iād try harder to find jam partners. Iām 70 now.
I learned more on the Stich Method than I did in ten years of lessons.

Thanks!

Hey Ian, Iāve been watching your videos a while and I really wanna buy all the charts. Problem is Iām a lefty, so the regular charts are no good for following along. Do you have an option for us lefties out there?

Truth. My playing improved more in 6 months of jamming with other people, than in 20 years of playing by myself in the basement. Playing with other people also helps focus your practicing, because it becomes appraent very quickly what you need to work on to be ready for next week's jam session. Thanks Ian.
