Your lessons are so revealing. Goodness I wish I’d found you years ago.

The Best! Now I need to practice 'Them Changes." -Buddy Miles I'm 77 years learning!! 😅❤

Brilliant.. i have never learnt so much about guitar before spendings quarantine months on this channel. Thank you so much man.. and you're so nice on top of being a great teacher.

This is fast becoming my favourite guitar lesson channel.

Always have to watch your lessons twice. The 1st time leaves me asking millions of questions, the 2nd time will usually answer them all. Thanks for another great lesson and the ability to bring everything down to its simplest form - Very few instructors are gifted with this ability.

FREAKING GREAT LESSON!!!! HOLY COW!!!! I'VE BEEN SPENDING AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF TIME ON 'CAGED SHAPES ALL OVER THE NECK OF MY GUITARS AND FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE I PAID CLOSE ATTENTION TO THIS LESSON AND BINGO AND GOT IT RIGHT AWAY!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I think this is one of the best videos I've watched in the past few years since I started using KZfaq for guitar. Thanks!

Being a blues guy, this is a fun non/pentatonic way to get familiar with the major scale.....I feel like once i learn this, i could probably sit down with any type guitarists/singer and get by....As much as i love the blues, beautiful melodies come from, this scale....

The one video that doesn't say in the title that "this blows your mind", actually is the one that does so. That was pretty amazing.

It’s all clicking! Thank you Ian!

This a great lesson for connecting the caged chord shapes with major scale intervals 🙌🏻🎸🤙🏻

You remind me of my music teacher as a kid. I really love you excitement for music. How you listen to every note with enjoyment.

Wish I'd learned this 30 years ago. Just this morning I was figuring out how that I could use the different triads just on strings 1-3 to make either major and minor chords of each possible 12 roots, all confined in a zone of whichever 5 or 6 frets. It boils down to being parallel with what you're teaching here. Brilliant, thanks!

I've know a bit about the cage system and have even practiced the shapes, but this exercise puts it together better than anything I've tried so far. For where I am in my training you are the best teacher I've watched on youtube. Many thanks!

I’m about to fall out of my chair.....Brilliant! Thank you !! This is a game changer for me, thanks again 🙏

Wow...What a cool method!! I've been playing guitar since I was 14 and I'm 51. I wish I knew this when I was 14. Better late than never. Thanks, man..that was awesome!

Thank you so much. CAGED has always been somehow mysterious to me and despite trying other times to learn it, it has eluded me. This lesson has really opened my ears to how it sounds as it related to the root notes. Great start for me to understand CAGED even more.

Another awesome video. The major scale he is playing is the Ionion. He has awesome videos concerning modes. You sir are an excellent instructor. Blessings.

Thank You Obi Wan! Another step closer to being one with my instrument and I SO appreciate that! Great insight. Excellent lesson!

OMG .... been trying to unlock this in my playing for DECADES ! probably one of the biggest hurdles I was always missing.

Wow I've just learnt something new,where does music ever end, music must go into eternity,thanks man this has just opened my mind and guitar playing to another level, cheers 👍

Ian, this is sort of like medical school where you learn and know everything then forget it. I remember way back when when you showed me the chords that went along with the scale . You are brilliant!

I'm just seeing this now and man I was figuring it out my self not fun lolol learing but a GREAT way to show not moving and playing in one spot!! Now I see how the caged system works I couldn't pick it up to understand how to use it, but now the REASONING behind learning the caged!!

Lightbulbs popping off everywhere brilliant lesson. Thank you so much.

Unbelievable ...it really is a mind blaster. I really couldnt believe what i saw before my eyes. It is gonna take me some time to recover from this scale revelation. Thank you Jedi Master Stich

You're a great teacher Mr. Stitch!

LOved the video. Stitch always delivers. Thanks Stitch

Yes I sometimes go elsewhere to get my guitar stuff fix....but I always come back to the Stichman. Excellent!

Thank you, Stich, you are a fantastic teacher and one cool cat 🐈😻🐈‍⬛

This is great info. Now I can use this lesson to toss chords into my lead playing to make it more interesting. Thanks, you sir are the GOAT.

Thank you. Priceless info.

One of the best guitar exercises I've ever seen to help understand theory. Thanks! Would love to see a higher octave version starting on the D or G string.

This is a great vision on soloing, song writing, chord playing... on whole philosophy of guitar playing. It wold be nice you to continue this video with another series - for example - the same vision for minor scale, for triads on higher 3 strings ( using only triads - not whole chords, and only on higher 3 ( or 4 ) strings - where main soloing work is going on), etc. I know that we can do it ourselves, but as a followers of you - it is our obligation we to push you to give your best in the process ;)... And you explain things so well... Thanks !

Ive subbed a good few channels over the years as a guitar noodler, but if i had to go to a desert island & i could only take one channel ... This is it.

Stitch is the best guitar teacher on the internet. No one else comes close.

You should have so many more subscribers for the quality and value of your content.

Mind blown indeed. Never thought about doing it that way.

Very helpful lesson, Ian and something that will sound musical while practicing

Great lesson! Best guitar teacher on KZfaq!

Lightbulbs!!!

Hi Stitch, your explanations are second to none. I've studied theory and the caged system before but your approach just makes it very understandable very quickly. You are a very gifted teacher.

thank you, duane

I've learned so much from watching your videos

Stich, you're the man. Thank you

This is a great lesson. Suddenly I'm creating the chords I hear in my mind while noodling. And more importantly.... they work! Thanks for all the stellar guitar lessons.

Yeesss.this is the nitty gritty.well taught and a relief that not all guitar teachers on KZfaq are part of some sort of masonic magic circle.good to see

First - THANKS, DUANE! 👍 Second - Please help support instructors like Ian. Believe this: What Ian and some others on KZfaq provide for free would cost you thousands of $$$ in face-to-face lessons in once a week lessons. No, I don't know Ian personally. I DO know excellent music instructors when I see 'em. Now... go PRACTICE!

Your tapestry is great. I have the same shower curtain as a tapestry hanging in my room

this lesson is like unlocking the universe, everything simply falls into place.......it's like E=MC2!!!

Might be one of the best lessons yet...Thanks !!

Aha, this is how I always wanted to be able to do 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Ian, you are on fire man

Holy smoke! This is a fantastic video. Definitely an epiphany moment. Thanks so much Ian, this one is a big deal for my guitar education.

Omg whhhhoooooow... I've only just discovered this guy... His approach to teaching is amazing beyond belief.. Thank you so so much for your kind help and time ❤️🎸

I love this channel, thank you

Thank you, Stich, for being an incredibly helpful and inspirational teacher. Can’t wait to dig in on this.

Oh man, this is the coolest thing I've learned all week, and I've been doing nothing but learning guitar this week. Some esoteric knowledge here (not really, but it seems like it is). That stuff has been hiding in the fretboard all this time and I just needed you to shine a light. Thanks, Stich!

This was priceless. I went back and reviewed the CAGE shapes and came back to this and....well....thank you.

This is prob the best lesson I've learned in 20 years...boy I wish I knew this growing up..thanks you so much!

I watched this video again a week or so ago and I have been practicing this daily since then and it has opened up SO much in my understanding--and ability to play. I felt it was beyond my reach the first time, I guess. Or I got distracted by the next shiny object and forgot. Either way, I finally have it--for real! Thanks so much for this eye opener.

Thanks for tying a bow on the caged system.

Another great lesson. I just spent the last 2 hours with this on a rainy day and am having fun. Thanks again for taking the time to explain how the guitar works so we can understand and make music. 🎉😊

Thanks Duane.

This is exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you!

Wonderful! Appreciate! Let me hope that thia lesson will continue showing us for other shapes.

A very methodical approach to unlocking the power of the Major scale...Thanks 🙏 for the great songwriting tips...🎸🔊🎶🤘

Another lesson I watched years ago and practiced regularly. It made CAGED have a life and now that I see it again I can only smile at good it and you are. Rock On Groovy One!

Brilliant video, I love your theory teaching.. silky smooth, super understandable ..

Wow this is fantastic!!! Never thought about this before. Thanks so much for sharing that.

Thank you Stich for sharing your knowledge with us who are learning, guess we're all learning but you are a genius

Dude! You are seriously great at explaining this. It's great the way you put all the pieces together (CAGED, scales, the scale chords) I love every time I see your episodes drop. Please keep it up and I'm going to happily throw you the $1.99 for the chart. Thanks again for the incredible lesson

That is a really good idea for practice. I can't believe I never thought to do that. Man, I have playing for years and never thought of that! Thank you!

OMG! Lightbulb moment! Thank you Ian - Truly amazing and useful lesson!

Wow... This is really solid stuff. Brilliant lesson!

This is powerful information. Thank you for this great lesson!

While I already knew this, it's still a great lesson!

This lesson compelled me to quote the last line of the first verse of Rosetta Stoned by Tool about eighteen times. I won't repeat it here because it's slightly vulgar, but I definitely need some orange slices and some fetal spooning to calm down about the fact that I've been playing guitar for 19 years, have a degree in it, and never figured this out before.

One of the most important lessons I Have seen in KZfaq. Really! Thank you very much.

Excellent lesson buddy. Not sure if anyone has already pointed it out, but just a little correction with the diminished chord. The ring finger is on the 7th fret but you mentioned 8th fret. Stay blessed.

Stitch method is THE METHOD!

Thank you for really opening up my understanding! Been playing for many years and this lesson really clarified for me many things!

The best lesson I have seen on KZfaq. Could you do a minor one please ???

I have never seen something like this before. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge to the world.

Thanks Ian,knowing how to put um together in same area,keeps it from getting confusing

Merci. I don't use the caged system, but instead the thoroughbass method. I'm sure it's the same beast with a different name.

Thanks Dwayne!

What a wonderful lesson and thank you Duane. You have such a nice manner Ian. When I watch your vids I feel relaxed and learn more as a result. Thanks

This opens up so much thank you

Just bought this material, Stitch. I'm close to finishing the first Blues tutorial on Udemy, will proceed to the second tutorial next. Thanks!

Thanks, Stich ! A nice piece of the puzzle which pushes me to learn those chords. I'll go back and watch the recommended videos. I've been away for a while, but more time for music now! See you live soon!

Totally digging this. stitch amazing lessons been trying to play and understand the guitar for many years your ability to method of teaching gets thru to me thank you and Duane this has been one of the most important helpful lessons I’ve ever seen

Careful there Stitch, I am close to subscribing.

What a great lesson and what a great teacher. Thank you (and Dwayne too).

Stitch, u are the man. Thank u and Dwayne.

Amazing thanks Stich

Very insightful. I don’t think I’ve seen any explanation like this before. It seems like this will help with playing and creating melodies from the chord shapes.

Beautifully explained! Great lesson! Thanks a million! Keep up the good work. God bless you

Thankyou. Your lessons have rekindled my love for guitar and inspired me to really delve into it. Cheers mate

Thank you sharing the knowledge with the learning community.. i always love your simplicity

Simply excellent.
