Signals Music Studio is really good too for scales and modes. And people like Nik Nocturnal and Uncle Ben are great for metal scales/modes and how to transpose scales in popular metal tunings.
You can really hear the Jimi Hendrix influence in this particular song. Mike McCready basically idolized Jimi when he was learning guitar, and in particular it's very "Little Wing" ish.
@@yepper1165 Yeah I wouldn't be surprised... honestly it's so obviously a nod by virtue of the way it sounds it doesn't even need to be said. Mike McCready in general's style is heavily derived from Hendrix in just about every way but this one in particular just screams Little Wing.
I once wrote the intro to Yellow Ledbetter accidentally and after hearing your theory breakdown of what it's comprised of, it makes a lot of sense that I did this, and many probably have too.
Lots of folks out there make high-quality lessons on “how to play this song note for note.” What I love about the way you approach songs is that not only do you show the “how”, but also the “why” for what is going on. I find this incredibly helpful, and far more useful for building my own techniques. I’m not a jam band guy, but your “In the mind of” series has helped make me a far better player. Oh, and if you could get the bullie to fart in 3/4 and 6/8, you could use that to explain time signatures………..
You’re probably the most underrated yt guitar teacher. You give so us so much knowledge and concept ideas in ways it’s easy to understand. Thank you for everything you do bro 🤙🏻
This one really helped me and I've been playing 3 decades. The Yellow Ledbetter reference was a stroke of brilliance. We could all instantly hear what you were going to teach us. Giving that conceptualization in advance made it so easy to understand the lesson. Thanks a million!
Just brilliant! This relational type of learning has really be doing wonders for me. Triads and scale shape relations seem to really be the key to unlocking the fret board and to have the freedom to improvise. Thanks Stitch!
Greetings from East Tennessee. Going down to the lake and playing some music today with my bud. Will be plugging in some of this lesson. Thank you for your effort.... very helpful.
Love that you brought up Hendrix immediately! I've always pictured in my head Stone Gossard was just jamming Little Wing and Eddie Vedder just slapped on some lyrics, but it turned out to be a beautiful song in its own right. It's a fun drunk Karaoke song because you can stumble through the lyrics, and nobody knows the difference lol
Man! You are such a good teacher. First time I seen your video. Swear stumbled across it. Saving... I like how your explanation is so simple. I will be practicing thank you
My first StitchMethod video. Great content. But even better snoring dog. Reminds me of my old dog that would wake everyone in the house up with his snore!
Stich, I just purchased my first Looper pedal. I was able to record a few real nice chord progressions and because of YOU, and the time I spent taking in your instruction on the pentatonics, I was able to solo over top of my loops and it sounded so pure and correct. I’m 39 years old and for the first time in my life I am finally able to really jam on the guitar. I knew where to go, I knew why it worked, and things MADE SENSE! Thanks so much brother. I love your path to understanding the guitar. I’m not Hendrix yet, but it feels so nice to have a clue dude.
I clicked to check out the D'Angelico, I already know Yellow Led better. While I never got a good look at the guitar, I wound up learning a valuable CAGED/Pentatonic application,, ala Jimmi. Good lesson 😎👍
"... very simple guitar method..." haha. As someone without any musical talent, I thought this video would help me understand how guitars are played. It only made music even more impressive and magical. Thanks for sharing!
The whole, 1 chord play around, 4/5 just create some dissonance, that was new to me, and super helpful! if you would make a video talking about all the intervals, and what do to for each, it would help a lot of people out! thanks!
My step father used to play in honky tonks in Silverton, leadville, Buena Vista. Glenn wood springs. In the mid 1960s. Beautiful area. The silver dollar saloon is still open in leadville.
My old dashund snores, too. Sometimes I get blamed for his snoring. More often , he gets blamed for mine. Your lessons are interesting and informative. Thanks.
It's all about the attitude in which you play it. You are thinking Hendrix, so it has a Hendrix vibe. When I play like that (which I often do) I'm mostly thinking soul music, so it has more of a Cornell Dupree or Steve Cropper vibe. At the end of the day, Hendrix got that style from soul, gospel and blue, and used his influences to help create his sound
Nice video, didn't learn all that much but it helped put it into a perspective for me, and for a lot of players this would be very educational. Mostly I wanted to say that I LOVE that guitar and am happy someone so cool has one.
That’s what makes the change up so somber and eery, instead of just flashy chord voicings for the sake of showing off. It’s a perfect blend of accents and then very precise chords, and the solo becomes easier to play once one has those patterns in their head. I always tell folks to learn the parts to Hendrix’s 1983…through to the Rainy Day reprise, as they aren’t very difficult to play, but each shift changes the emotion and atmosphere, which can really help some when in a rut.
Your are doing something great !!! Kudos !!! Most of the stuff you have uploaded is not free elsewhere!!! This is Guitar Open Source Channel!! :) lovin it!!!!
I remember when I first figured that song out all those years ago. I think that's the only song I would play for about a week...lol. Hendrix had huge hands so he could play bass lines to that kinda stuff with his friggin' thumb...like he wasn't good enough already!!!😬 I gave up on learning "The Wind Cries Mary"(and others) because of that shit!!! That's definitely a fun way to embellish mellow passages though!!!
Yeah, I have to "switch" like Stitch on both Ledbetter AND Wind Cries Mary. 🤷 Its all good, how ever you get there. There must be downsides to big hands as well. I can't play Jaguars, for instance because the frets are too cramped above 12.
Btw you should be up there with Marty Schwartz lesson wise, I think you're my new favorite teacher! (sorry Marty ) haha anyway really appreciate how I can clearly see what you're doing and understand easily, it makes all the difference. Not all heroes wear capes, rock on man! I'll try to send a viewer your way every chance I get.
Loved this one because of the concept of “ the version that didn’t make it” idea. It helps to break the song down and show its potential for what it will become.
The last chord progression I usually hear as A mixolydian V VII IV progression kinda like in sweet home Alabama. But you’re right it can be spelled as V IV I in D major. Great lesson!
Great video. Very useful lesson. It was great meeting you at the lift today at JH. I forgot to say thank you for all the lessons and all the work you put into the videos. Enjoy the rest of your trip.
