StichMethod Guitar just downloaded. Game changer for me and incredibly well taught as well. Been on so many guitar sites but find the way you communicate the concepts and lessons a class above. Keep up the great work.
Man, this pentatonic playlist is the bee's knees! This is a great time to be a guitar player, especially if you follow this channel. Thank you for all you do, Ian!
WOW! This old 72 year old guy is finally starting to grasp some things. I really appreciate the way you teach, you make things so much clearer (to me) than anyone else. Thank you.
There are many people able to play the guitar well, but the number of those whom also have the ability to teach others in terms that are easily grasped by their students is, unfortunately, a very small one. Well done, Ian. Like many others here, I am a fan!
Hey Ian, your lessons are simply awesome! You make sense of all this blues theory. I'm 44 and I started trying to learn (blues) guitar at 17 and so after 27 years of frustration, abandonment, confusion and deciphering you finally provide sense to this habit I can't give up! Thank you Kind Sir, you are a God Send!
You are a godsend. There's so much content on RU-vid (and many other great teachers) that it's easy to get overwhelmed. You present the core of what most people need to get better -- and you are affable and not jerkish about it. I've watched many other videos, but after making my way through your NeverLost Pt. 1, Relative Major/Minor, and now this video, I bought the Bundle Pack, mainly to support you. Well done, good sir. Thank you.
Mind blown. In all my years of playing I have never heard anybody stress the 4th when playing Major blues!? This is the best lesson I've had in 20 years! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it. Also check out my Blues soloing mindset video. It’s about stressing the notes of the chords in a Traditional Blues. Again, glad you enjoyed!
10 years.....10 freakin years of trying memorize boxes, shapes and modes and my improvisation still sucked. 2 weeks with the neverlost major and minor system and I am finally off the ground. I don’t know if I should be sad about not finding this earlier or happy that I am now jamming and enjoying the guitar like I have never before. Stitch, personal thanks bud. Anybody thinking about trying it....do yourself a favor and get the pdf for both minor and major neverlost...it is the bargain of the century. Knowing what I know now....it is worth 10 times as much, if not more
Why didn’t somebody teach me this 30 freaking years ago? I have been doing this for 30 years to some degree but was never able to put it all together like this. So simple. Thank you!!!
for those who havent noticed the pattern shown here for major also works for minor by using your ring finger on the root and playing the exact same pattern shown here now you have minor and end up at the hub as he calls it .youll see what i mean when you try it.
Can't thank you enough for this lesson. I've been playing for over 20 years and had all these bits and blocks of fretboard info that never quite came together until now. It really has unlocked the whole fretboard for me. So awesome.
Really wish someone had taught me this like 20 yrs ago...instead of wasting money on lessons that never really got me where i wanted to be as a guitar player. Here's to the next 20yrs and finally feeling like i have an answer to the mystery. Maybe I'll feel confident by summer to actually play out in public. Thx
Absolutely takes scary or boring pentatonic scales into an entirely Learnable/Musical playing and realm of understanding. THANKS for this valuable guitar video!
Mindblowing. There are so many RU-vid videos out there but teaching is an art. Indeed, videos are there teaching about the diagonal approach but some key aspect was always missing until you have finally demystified the deceptive fret board. Thank you so much. I now have the new perspective of moving along the fretboard logically with better comprehension.👍👍👍
The best online instructor in the business. Uncomplicated verbage and simple logic stick with me. I’ve known the patterns for years but linking them with one shape makes them so easy to use.
I feel you like you put up videos just for me. Ive been kind of doing this for years but now ive got all the pieces in a simple easy way. These lesson are exactly what ive needed. Good job
Hey Ian, I first found out about you when I saw a vid of you and Dean making a comparison between Paul and a Strat. But however, I am so grateful to you for all you have done for me. A few years ago I distoryed the disc between L5 and L6. This has left me unable to lift and bend at the same time. So after 35+ years of framing houses I found myself disabled and a lot of time on my hands. I can't ride motorcycle anymore so I picked up an old guitar and started playing the same 6 or so songs as I have for the past 30 yrs. I would love to strum the cords of those songs as sweet and lovely as I could, but was still confined to the first 3 frets. I was trying to find something new to play on the net when I stumbled across you and your "Never ending scale" YOU my friend unlocked the rest of the fret board to me Kind Sir. I only wish I was still making good money cause I wanna support the BEST guitar teacher on RU-vid. We will have money someday again and then I will sign up. But one question please, do you have a list of your lessons in order. I just do not wanna miss a thing you got to say and teach. sign me Grateful for YOUR Talent!
Wow! This lesson really clicked with me! Thanks for posting it! When I was first starting out, my cousin showed me what I've always called the "sliding pentatonic scale" and that is exactly what it was! It has served me very well over the years. I never thought to look for other ways to do it, and never really broke it down into octave by octave patterns, root to root as you have done. With just a couple of videos you have made one of my most useful tools far more useful. More importantly, you have given me a better understanding of the pattern I've been playing and "why" it works, as well as a new pattern, and the understanding I need to be able to come up with my own in the future as well! It's been a while since I have had a really nice guitar "epiphany" moment, and this has been one of the best, right up there with (finally) comprehending modes! I just wanted you to know that! Thanks again!
Excellent lesson. Fantastic. Learning how to solo in major keys can be confusing and daunting to players who've just learned the minor pentatonic shapes, but the way you described how to easily get from the first position to the other (a full octave higher and waaaaay up the fretboard) is wonderful. If anyone watching this video is confused, I have some advice for you: Watch this video every single day, guitar in hand, and copy what Stitch is doing note for note. It's essential to learn that major pentatonic "never lost" run he does starting on the fifth fret sixth string going all the way up the fretboard past the 12th fret. And once you learn this run in A (or F#m), you can move it up and down the neck and play it in every key! Learn the run, then practice it over lots of backing tracks in different major keys. A, E, D, C, etc.
Thanks for mentioning it's the "lead line," in my book it was called "lead pattern 1." So long practicing major/minor pentatonic in all 5 positions, and the lead patterns, you've finally shed a light on it all. It all finally makes sense, thanks so much.
Thank You ! I've always wondered how to use my pentatonic scales and I thought I was a visual person but this is challenging and none the less a pathway.

THE BEST GUITAR TEACHER EVER!!!! I can't believe your way to explain things to talk about complex things in an easy understandable 'digestable' way. YOU ARE THE MAN!!!! Thanks a lot.
Dude these lessons are amazing!. I have been playing guitar since I was 10 years old, I am 46 now, and i have never seen the guitar broken down so simply. I have watched the first two videos a couple of times, and this one definitely brings it home. I can fumble my way through a decent bluesy solo, but these lessons are going to improve my soloing exponentially. So glad I stumbled across your videos. Thank you!
Just rewatched this video. Mind BLOWN! Great backing track, and the fact that it switches to F#m and you talk about how you switch to that scale is amazing. Thank you!! I'm seeing that you get more into that concept of changing scale shapes as songs progress and the key changes. I never knew that, but I can hear it now. Again, mind blown! :-D
Just tried the backing track and now this lesson makes TOTAL sense. Your teaching is great because you synthesise all the pieces and make is USEFUL, I can think it through at playing speed. I blended in one of your other lessons without even thinking about it...played the A minor pentatonic over the A major section just before moving to F# pentatonic over the relative minor section. Nice smooth transition with a bluesy link. It just makes sense now :)Thanks for the great channel.
Forgive the pun, but I'm going to sit back and learn all this stuff, One stich at a time. After all these years your making it all so simple and as clear as crystal. Thank you Ian, thank you so much.
still coming back to this and realising so much more. Having a brain addled by years does not help, but it has helped me improve more than I could ever have imagined. Thank you.
Thanks mate. This method opened up the fretboard for me and helps to learn the notes BUT. I have now expanded it to learn all positions of the diatonic scales as well. Great stuff👍🏻👍🏻
You are a good teacher, I will tell you that knowledge is vey important and the beginning to anything useful, but what is more important is someone like yourself that can teach amateurs how to mold there knowledge into a skill .
Thanks Stitch; you are a great teacher who simplifies while most other teachers leaves one mystified. I've been struggling to learn how to play guitar for years; in only a few weeks after watching your videos my skills has dramatically improved. I highly recommend your videos. BTW, after learning the five PENTATONIC positions followed by the NEVERLOST SYSTEM I am able to play amazing Solos without coming to an abrupt end as I did in the past. These are Super Lessons by a Superb Teacher. Dale
You made this concept so easy, I've often struggled climbing up the scale away from home, five minutes after watching your video it's a piece of cake, thank you so much for making this video.
In the last couple of weeks yourself and Sean Daniel have taught me soooo much on RU-vid! That F#m shift was awesome! Always wanted to be able to play up and down the fret board but now can understand much more how it works properly. Great Vid!
This is the backing track to “Fooled around &fell in Love “by Elvin Bishop. Vocals were by Mickey Thomas who later was the vocalist for Jefferson Starship. Thanks Stich,I’m going to give this one another try.
great lessons! I'm still muddling around in the scales/modes, but have been for 30 years. I've watched several of your videos and it was one of those a ha moments when you presented the major pentatonic and used the 4th degree note. thanks for the lesson.
Namaste from India! Your NeverLost system really helped me gain some good perspective on how to work my way across the guitar. Love the way you put forth your ideas. So casual and unforced. Keep up the good work man! Peace out.
This was awesome, thank you for the video! I was practicing pentatonic boxes all day hoping just memorizing where everything is would help, but trying this for just five minutes was a night and day difference. Subscribing
You are a fantastic teacher! Love the personality most but the content and the subject matter are perfect. Very easy to understand you and what you want us to learn. Thank you!
I've always preferred major sounding blues to minor. The major neverlost system is super easy - everything is two frets apart! I'm going to be jamming southern rock for a while now....
Man this is great! Been playing about 3 years and have some stuff that works but up until now didn’t really know why! So good to find someone who not only knows this stuff but can actually teach it! Thanks so much
GREAT STUFF!!! This is the first time scales have started to make sense for me. I know there is a lot more but this is a fantastic base to build on. Please do more and I will continue to buy your charts.
Today is a great day Mr Stich not only have I finally managed to get back into my “pre COVID shielding lock down with the (biscuit tin)” work trousers! You have just given me my guitar light bulb moment. And I can not thank you enough. This is brilliant and later today I will be purchasing your blues class. Many thanks 👍
I've been strumming a guitar for years and decided to adventure into scales recently. I have found your videos extremely informative and its cleared up a load of questions for me. I just need to practice now. Thanks again and keep up the great work. Ivor
Ian, thank you for your videos in RU-vid, which I found from your msg in reddit. Incredible videos, very helpful. I wasn't lost really, as I don't even knew a path existed. Now, thanks to your method, I can find my way, or at least try to follow the scent. Neverlost! & beyond, Pepe
Well done stitch. I think your lessons are to the point and simply to grasp great stuff I love your delivery. Also you seem a really lovely & kind chap, keep up the good work you are making things easier for future guitarists and we should all benefit from good songs in the future.
As a simple acoustic songwriter for many years now I am SO SO glad to find your channel! And your name is Ian too...Bonus! Blessings Friend keep teaching! Great stuff!
After finding the first video I watched of this, It just keeps getting better. Although I need to keep it a a slower pace until I can master it, I look forward to playing with the backing tracks as a final, I did it... Thanks again.
Just bought the chart pack thank you SO MUCH for putting those out along with these videos. I feel like there is hope for me finally. I’ve owned guitars and played along with my singing for decades always feeling like solo’ing/lead was just out of my reach, which it very much still is, but this makes me feel like if I dedicate the second half of my life to learning this I might not completely suck at guitar before I die of old age (fingers crossed.)
Thanks Stitch. I’m just a toddler at licks and can’t yet tie my shoes (tie them together for a good solo) yet I so enjoy who you are. Really appreciate your neverlost system being as I’m one of those Sixth Sense folks-“I see patterns and they talk to me.” Your lighthearted approach is great and your multitasking/distractions remind me of myself-look a bird! Although I’m more of a dog person you’re alright and so is your cat!
One of the nice things about the first run that lands you on the 10th fret of the B string if you play it with your middle finger is you're all set up for the C-shape of the A major chord at that fret. There's a nice double stop you can play (9 g-string, 10 b-string) and a hammer on 11 g-string or an arpeggio of the A major chord of you lay down the ring finger on the 11 d-string and pinky on the 12 a-string. In fact, easy closed chords for the 4 and 5 chords are right there too. All in all if you make that run you land in a very fertile place. :-)
When I was a just a young lad, my mama caught me sittin there playin with my root note. She said, "Son, when you play that major pentatonic, make sure you play the 4th. too"
