You’re wonderful with analogy. Steering wheel in place-if drummed has to stop (if parent has to gasp riding shotgun during a test drive) , there’s an issue 🙂
You can do alot with slow chord changes and great strumming or picking man, it will come . One day it will click and you will see a better way to change chords that suits you. You may add or lose fingers to the shapes of chords. Play them in other locations. Sky's the limit my dude.
Another thumbs up vote for Rubin and Cherise, great example of playing the chords right! One of the many reasons I love Garcia is that he was an incredible rhythm player, in addition to being a phenomenal lead player. Cool stuff, as always, Stich!👍👍
Your vidios are awesome. I never knew those open G chords as British or American until today, funnily enough many years ago I decided that I liked the British G voicing, as I'm a brit it made me chuckle.
I want to thank you ian, i am thanking you because i am now realizing that i no longer need your videos. Now that sounds bad but its because ive learned everything from you and these videos are just too simple(a year ago that wasnt true) the point is i owe you the world and you are the greatest guitar teacher on the internet.
Well do stick around... these Thursday vids are the new series Guitar Fundamentals... Tuesday’s are the usual. Rock on and I am so glad to help on the journey
Honestly playing with drummers helped improve my timing. Also if anyone reading this thats still in high school and has a chance to join music (let's say you only know guitar)--drumline is fantastic and forces you to learn good timing
This is a great lesson. Rhythm is hard to teach. Either you have it or you don't in most cases. It can definitely be done tho to those who feel discouraged being rhymically challenged.
I just recently started to learn guitar and I found your lessons to be some of the most well structured and logical on RU-vid. Thank you for making these available! I slowly started to work through your earlier videos, however at times it seems a bit random, going from video to video. So my question is, do you have somewhere a roadmap of concepts and skills a beginner should learn? Thank you!
@@StichMethodGuitar Thank you for your reply! At this point I believe even a single video proposing and discussing such a roadmap would help a bit with navigating through your earlier videos. Even better if you reference some of the songs that neatly illustrate a given concept or technique. Thank you again for these lessons!
You keep at it and before you know it you can play and figure out what's going on I played for a while got nowhere then I found this Stitch Method it was from riding on a wagon which I was traveling 40 miles a day to flying a jet around the world in a minutes. That's how much I took off. Now I'm up in the sky moving with the music learning and progressing every day. I'm the pilot and I have a flight plan Mr Stitch is the Captain and after his video i take the controls and move with the music. One more thing my road map in the Stitch method was the videos the Never lost system I'm telling you just watch the videos then you will get it.
I swear I've made more progress as a guitar player since discovering your videos about a month ago than I did in 10 years of just picking around and playing campfire songs. I've gone from noodling a few hours a week to having long, intensive, focused practice sessions and actually seeing rewarding growth. Just wanted to say thanks.
I was just watching John Mayer on Andy Cohen playing that Diana Ross tune... noticing how his whole hand comes off and then back on the fretboard in one motion for each barre chord. Then come to find Ol' Stitch is there 2 hours later with a new lesson to show me the light. Stitch watches your searches... And he knows your location...
Love your analogies. Wish there had been someone with your teaching gift around to cut the learning curve for me when I started teaching myself how to play guitar 40 years ago. Never met a drummer that would wait for anyone to make a chord change though. :-)
Great lesson. Exactly what I needed to hear. Like another subscriber posted, I know several chords but can't change fast. This should help. Your video about how to change the angle of the pick for strumming was a huge help too. Thanks for your lessons.
This is obviously a beginner lesson, but even as an intermediate/advanced player it's the first time I've heard that the G chord with the D note on the B string is the British way and the G chord with the B string open is the American way. Just goes to show that there's something to be learned in every Stich lesson. :-)
@@StichMethodGuitar Sean had a good bit on this recently-muted percussive strumming in time until you get to your chord. Not ideal, but WAY better than screwing up the rhythm.
I am an intermediate player, I think. This is a great lesson for me. I have finally after some time have begun to feel the rhythm of the song and my strumming patterns have improved significantly. This lesson can only put the cherry on top! Thank you! Love to have more lessons on Blues 7th chords up the neck as your other lessons. Been really practicing improvising as to the notes in the chords as you showed. Practicing CAGE, will this help on that? Anyone? Thank you for your time and lessons! Its great that you give back what you know!
Like to join the club. 58 playing 1 year now. Yes, I have been practicing everyday. Even surprised myself. Its great. Im a lefty with nerve damage, arthritis, challenging, that's the fun of it. I also got a keyboard. Metronome. Take care all.
I watch you from some time and I definitely have to say that: you are the best online teacher I ever watched :) thank you very much for your tons of movies!

Covid 19 has left me shy of cash. I need some stamp practise but I'm not bad. I want to play good songs.. what order of your RU-vid videos should I follow

Chris Snape well my channel isn’t necessarily about playing songs. It’s about owning the guitar. I highly suggest everyone start with the blues and my Blues Primer Playlist. And of course my CAGED playlist and also my Guitar Fundamentals playlist which his video is a part of.
