This is genius. Connecting your body to the instrument - this is what I’ve been missing. Thank you!

@davestagner Год назад

This makes me think of one of my best music lessons. Many years ago, I studied jazz theory for a bit. He taught at the piano (“I don’t care what instrument you play, you learn theory at the piano!”), and he emphasized a four step process for each chord - read it on paper, say the name out loud, feel the shape in your fingers, and finally listen to the sound of the chord. By engaging these different active and passive parts of our mind all together, he argued, you learn better and it sticks in your brain more. He’d have totally supported this video.

Thanks for some simple but wonderful advice for those learning to play, and a good dollop of self-understanding for those of us who have been at it for a while. Forty years ago I am sure that I spent some considerable proportion of my misspent youth on my knees, leaning backwards until my long and curly hair touched the floor, while I indulged in a spot of axe-wanking well beyond the twelth fret. Coming out of a solo would then require leaning forward back to upright, then standing up and leaning forward onto a power chord rooted somewhere on the lower E string, possibly with a bit of jumping thrown in for good measure. Thirty-seven years ago I gave in to my original love and started playing with blues bands, rather than over-rehearsed rock and metal bands. That's when I learned that you lean forward for the high notes and backwards for the lower notes, I haven't leaned backwards for the high notes since. Well, not that much anyway.

This was an awesome exercise and lesson for me - thank you!

@rybgpo 3 года назад

A really lovely, body-opening, organic-feeling reminder of being in the moment and feeling the directional flow of the music. Great lesson. Thank you!

@wechsler-2020 3 года назад

My playing instantly had more feel as I connected the movements of up and down to back and forward instead of just playing scales & chords. Thanks I am going to work on this.

@bowdownandobey 2 года назад

Simple, respectful, expandable. Keeps a very organic feeling in your lead playing. Gonna try applying this extensively today. Thanks a lot brother

@cshartley101 3 года назад

@Xxeon10xX 3 года назад

DUDE!! Thanks was awesome I loved the end when you controlled me I was so into it and when you were like you’re probably on the 7th fret of the E I totally was!!!

@petera5747 3 года назад

I thoroughly enjoyed the lesson. Makes me feel a bit confident now. Thank you very much for sharing .

@Brucaleeffo 3 года назад

I was once having a lesson with my teacher and he said that I was owning the groove by just looking at my body "dancing" and anticipating what I was going to play. PS love the trippy backgrounds of late

@arsenioberlin268 3 года назад

Thank you, Maestro. I loved the idea of joining one's body to the guitar. It reminds me of the way I've seen Hasidim "shuckle" as they pray, rocking and swaying back and forth to the silent rhythmn and melodies of holy words.

@lancestokes592 Год назад

@abhijitbose462 3 года назад

@view5558 2 года назад

O that was so fun 😆. Thoroughly enjoyed.

@boev999 3 года назад

Another gem of advice! One of the best explanations on how to actually use scales. I started noticing these movements lately, transcribing solos of Mayer, Bonamassa and Clapton. They sound so nice to me and for a long time I thought it was some magic, but most of it is moving around the scale/changes + emphasizing the melody. Thanks :)

@tiahni-roseatkinsonnix6075 2 года назад

Thankyou for this practical yet simple video. It's really helped me feel the music and understand how improvisation works better. Now to just practice and enjoy what I'm playing again after a long plateau in my guitar journey! Mainly due to getting caught up in the theory and forgetting that this is about playing around and having fun, not being perfect!

@douglasfuqua7082 3 года назад

FINALLY!!! Someone instructing on youtube that "gets it"...not surprised it's Mr. Stich... Lead guitar is SUPPOSED to ADD something to the work...i.e. ... the "sound" and "mood" of the piece...just "running scales" isn't what's needed. Thanks, Ian, you are the champ of instructors. You hear and FEEL the beat, rhythm and mood of the artist's and songwriter's hard work...and create real MUSIC. Keep teaching and coaching, Ian. You're the best on the 'Tube. ... Crossbow

@lightfoot413 3 года назад

really excellent lesson..have never seen anyone explain about body movement...thanks much...

@jitterjive4711 2 года назад

Great advice, Stich! A word to the wise, exercise caution when practicing this method so as not to lean too far forward or backward while sitting on a bar stool after a few brewskies. - Cheers

@modernmusicstudio303 2 года назад

At first I thought this was crazy, but it actually worked. This was the first time I actually sounded decent and it actually felt real good. Thanks for the lesson!

@dawnnwilliams2946 3 года назад

Hi Ian, I’m a bass player (no dreaded major 3rd tuning, ha) but I love your lessons. I do a lot of walking on bass and I really like this idea of connecting body movement to going up and down in pitch. You rock😂.

@petermaine 3 года назад

More gold from Stich on the Road! Thanks, Ian. Two questions: Is there some way we can virtually "follow" you on your road trip? And how many guitars did you bring along and how/where do you store them in the RV? Loving every lesson, as usual!

@jayjay-gl4fj 3 года назад

Good video!

@jeffallen4505 3 года назад

Thanks!! Moving around while playing is something I do.. It's different with each number as each number is different from the last one.. All in setting a mood for the set.. People tell me I'm just weird.. But I go with the flow of the sound...

@KevinORourke25 3 года назад

This is a BRILLIANT tutorial Ian. I remember watching Hendrix one time and It looked like his guitar was just connected to his body. It's exactly what your talking about here. I'm ancient so I sit mostly now, but the body movement still applies. Thanks for posting. Kevin O'Rourke

@jayartz8562 3 года назад

I must have my y axis inverted, lean back to go up and lean forward to go down, never thought about it till you pointed it out. Been playing for a long time but you always give me a little bit more insight.
