29 total minutes of demoing and practicing how to build up your imagination to jam. I use two songs from my fascination with jamming. From laying the loop, to learning chords, to choosing the soloing machine, these will get you feeling amazing when improvising to any song. Hope You Enjoy!

Ok, so I just wanted to write this comment so the central idea of this video is clear. The guitarists we all worship did not have backing tracks to play with. They either had their imagination or a band. Although backing tracks are a good way to, learn and confirm your ideas (Scale choice, approach, and rhythm), no matter how good they are, and there a ton to choose from online, you will ALWAYS be following them, and ALWAYS be putting the weight of your performance on how well you line up with the track. You will always be at the mercy of the tempo chances, mode changes, volume changes, etc. You will always have a predictive mindset. It is why jamming to a backing track seems stale sometimes.
In order to really improvise and feel how the music should change with your feel, it is very important to sometimes put the backing track down and play to the concert in your head. This method puts you in the LEAD, as in lead guitar. As you play to your tempo, your heart beat, your comfort level, you can use your imagination and chord changes in your head to move the music with you. In a Jam Band scene, you always are going to be implying the chord changes in the jam, so as long as your soloing reflects that, and you feel the freedom of being in charge, then mission accomplished. Trust me, you need to have/hear the music in you at all times.

I mean this in the most positive and kindest way, but you are like the Bob Ross of guitar. You convey such enthusiasm, excitement and true joy of learning, without any ego or other bs that many other instructors seem to have. I have learned more from watching a few of your videos, than all of my lessons and playing/performing, combined. And, I have been teaching guitar for years, myself! You are absolutely amazing, and I love the fact that you don't edit your mistakes out, rather, acknowledge them, no big, and just move on. These subtle lessons are even more valuable. I am sure you are aware of this, but it is this underlying 'way' of thinking about your relationship with the guitar, and hence, 'being a musician' that is a much more difficult lesson to actually teach than simple knowledge and technical know how. And you, my friend, are a master at it. Every lesson I have seen so far has been outstanding, and I have learned at least one thing from each one, usually more, and I have been playing for over forty years. In fact, when jamming last weekend with a friend who, likewise, has been playing for forty plus years (we are childhood friends that started guitar together, and still jam, to this day lol) I began singing your praises, so he wanted to check you out. We spent the next six hours reviewing your lessons, in detail, stopping and discussing theory along with even deeper philosophical concepts of how tones relate to life and such, and you have another diehard confirmed fan of your channel and method. I wish I had found you at the start of my playing (even though I think I may be a few years older, so...lol). I cannot even imagine where my playing would be now if I had used the StichMethod as my foundation/base. I probably would have been dead at twenty seven! LOL Keep rocking and please know how respected, needed, and what a asset you are to not only the instrument, but humanity, in general.

What I appreciate most in these videos is that Ian shares how he thinks about music rather than a simple recitation of steps. I've learned a lot of very useful technical things in these videos, but the insight into another person's creative process has been invaluable. This video in particular highlights that. Thanks Ian.

Best improv tutorial Iāve seen in the last 5 years on my guitar journey. Definitely going to use this

I've just been doing this for an hour straight. Lots of repetition on the chords before beginning, and then, there it was, the chords were in the back of my head and I was improvising over what I was hearing in my head. Thanks for connecting these dots, man. Truly grateful!

crawl, walk, runā¦ great lesson!

This guy is just the best guitar teacher. So grateful.

Missed you Stitch!

I love your lessons, they really work. This lesson gave me a big grin at the beginning, with backing tracks...lol
|
Completely true, playing free gives you freedom to imagine various cord progressions to make solo exactly what you feeling all the time.

Dude! I cannot believe that I was just able to do what you did, by playing the chord progression (E and D) for a few bars and getting it stuck in my head. Then I just started playing the E note (string 3 fret 9) and then slid down 2 frets to the D note when the chord changed in my head...and it worked! And then I started just doing simple hammer-on's and pull-off's on the note 2 frets above the root for each one, and that worked too. :). Then, since I had a lot of time for each chord (8 beats each), I really let myself start to play around with other notes in the pentatonic, and when the chord changed, I would just repeat that same pattern just 2 frets away. Then I started focusing on hitting the chord tones (E G# B, then D F# A) and it started sounding like I actually knew what I was doing (haha). So then I focused on those chord tones, but added little hammer-on's and pull-off's for each one and it really started to sound like I was playing lead. I then tried finding notes to connect between chords, and WOW! my mind was blown: I was actually stringing something together that didn't sound just like 1 pattern after another. It flowed, if you know what I mean. And, all of this was done without a backing track or another guitarist playing rhythm. I was doing it all. Thank you, man. I feel like you've opened a new door for me. You are awesome!
btw, for minute there, when I really had it going on, it felt like I was in the Grateful Dead, playing lead guitar. :)

ive missed you Stich, glad ive run back into you. Your approach and teaching styles like that favorite teacher you had in school that you feel taught you everything you know, your personality is awesome too
|
Hey man, thank you for all your work and knowledge you share. You are a ridiculously good teacher and true master of the instrument
1 |
Needed this. Thank you.
2 |
This is such a great lesson!
Thanks for reminding the importance of the imagination and the feeling from the heart to more enjoy the play.
|
I can imagine the back-up singers singing the chord changes and clapping their hands. Thanks man, great concept!
|
You are one of, if not my FAVORITE guitar teacher on YouTube!!!! Thanks for all the PHiSH!!
|
Oh, wow. This one was real eye opener, will work on this during the weekend! I love this type of learning approach. Concepts and framework instead of instructions.
