Forget about Paul Davis… this guy is the best guitar teacher on KZfaq! 👏👏👏

@sethbrown8912 11 ай бұрын

I LEARN MORE FROM THIS GUY THAN ANYONE ON KZfaq. If that is "yelling" in typing, I'm yelling. Such good explanations and Western music theory content without hype. The CAGED explanations in other videos are the BEST. I play for fun and these lessons are making me sound like I actually know a little and that makes me have even more fun. God Bless

I've avoided playing major pentatonic scales for years because they never sound right over the chord progression. Now I know why! You've really opened some doors for me with this lesson. At last I can understand why Lynrd Skynrd etc sound so upbeat using the majors. Marvellous stuff, thanks a ton!

@PickSixer 11 ай бұрын

Yep - this guy is great. This lesson also helps with Allman Brothers and Dickey Betts’s solos…and The Stones recorded a ton of songs in BMajor and Keef and Mick Taylor both played their solos in BMajor pent - great stuff!

@seanenglish3002 3 жыл бұрын

This was a great lesson! The simple assignment of responsibilities to each of the notes in the major pentatonic makes the creation of clean sounding riffs so easy. It also explains why so many of my major moves went wrong. I'm looking forward to your Patreon lessons where you take this one step further moving from a single chord vamp to a two chord pattern.

This video was SO helpful to me - one of the MOST helpful to me I've watched of yours and I've watched a lot. And get a lot from! You're one of my faves for guitar lessons. You explained the difference between the 1st in the minor and the 6th in the major, which was a concept I knew but your explanation was a game-changer, to use a terrible cliche. So this was HUGE. When you played and went "home" to the 6th --that's what I sound like and exactly what I'm trying to solve for, learning how to make a pentatonic sound like the pros.

I'm so happy you talked about landing on the sixth in a major pentatonic and why it happens so much. I've always hated playing major pentatonics because of how it would sound, and now I realise exactly why that is! Muscle memory truly is your best friend and worst enemy. Great video, Stich. You have a habit of articulating things that often get missed in the KZfaq guitar world.

Stitchmethod, you are simply the BEST. I wish I had gotten these lessons at my 20s n 30s when I was struggling to play in our High School band in Ambazonia, West Africa. I used to instinctly grapple with it without knowing these additional moves. I'm now learning but have no opportunity to play again on stage at my age of 65. However, thanks again for this great gift. You are the best.
