I just played this progression into a looper and spent 3 hours practicing soloing with feel instead of speed. Most fun I’ve had playing guitar in a really long time.
Thanks for keeping the "mistakes" in there. When you made one you said : " geez, really inspiring." Actually, yes it is. When I see someone who has been playing for a long time still make mistakes it makes me feel better and actually motivates me. Unedited stuff is great. Keep it in. Thanks again for all you do.

I feel the same! I love when an artist makes a mistake and just rolls w it ... adds an element to music. Music isn’t ever perfect to me, when it is it feels boring
Glad to see you giving props to Mr. Snowy White, he’s a hero of mine that doesn’t get the mentions he deserves

Snowy White did a stint as a member of Thin Lizzy. I think his smooth style never really meshed with Lizzy's Irish rock metal
Great man nice to see Snowy get some credit...A amazing musician with so many great bands
I love this song, it is one of those songs that gets inside and touches the soul. First heard it about 6 months after starting to play guitar. I tried to play it, but it was way above my head (even bought a looper). It's a year later and your video has inspired me to give it another shot, although I'm not sure I have the chops yet. The day I'm able to play this song will be a huge milestone for me as a guitar player. Thank you for doing the video.
Love it. Cheers Mr Stich. 👍🏻
Brilliant! Long time favorite; what a pleasant surprise to find you teaching it
thankyou stich , in the skies is the most beautiful album i've ever heard

I have to thank you for the introduction to Snowy White....wow.....absolutely beautiful!!!
Peter Green in his early 20’s was untouchable. From his singing, writing/ harp/bass playing or his god sent tasty tone melodic playing guitar
This song and Albatros and I 'll be good for the rest of the year. Thanks Ian!
You teaching is truly inspiring. Great music choices and clear instruction. Thanks for making me want to play more!
.... I've watched a lot of videos on this subject and nobody mentioned to keep away from the root until you want to hear it. That is the essential piece here and you nailed it!
Very well explained. Thank you.
Started the day out with playing the intro to need your love so bad! Now I'll giving this a go. Great stuff as always!
Fantastic Never heard this track before but will be working on it now
Another gem with more excellent tips. Really appreciated Thanks
Most excellent, keep this stuff coming.
I really enjoyed this leeson. Opened my eyes! Thank you!
Crucial thanks 🙏🏼 I’ve always loved this jam it’s just a nice mellow groove Cheers
Thank you so much, your Video helps me lot !
Such a good video man! Thanks.
Yay, the Stitch is back, good to see you buddy !
So simple yet so effective. I believe thats the magic of almost all Peter Green songs. Isnt it? Thanks a lot for clearing that one for me. I have to record it now myself. ;-)
Oh wow, that is a beautiful chord progression. And a great solo too. Thanks for this. I will be spending a long time working with this. I must say your guitar tone is nicer than in earlier videos.
Wonderful lesson, thank you so much for it - and for everything you are doing!
Great deep track jam cut. Love it brother.
FantaStich lesson, awesome. Thanks
Smdh. How the heck have I never heard of Snowy White??? Beautiful song, and excellent lesson! Thanks so much.
Great stuff. Yeah it resonates alright!. Thank you.
Great! More Peter Green, please!
Really great!!
awesome quality lesson, Master
Great lesson!! Thank you!!
Another awesome video!
I think snowy white is a wonderful guitar player. Midnight blues, truly amazing.
Great lesson. Love it. 👍
Peter Green is my all time favorite guitar player. You do amazing lessons with Jerry Garcia stuff, so I am really surprised to stumble upon this on your channel!
This track has long been my “5am and need to get some sleep but can’t because I’ve been up all night having fun with my friends” smooth jam that puts me at ease and lets me get some rest
beautiful lesson!
Thank You! 👍🏻
First time I have ever heard this great song. I keep hoping for another Jerry video, like the midnight moonlight lesson the you teased. But I love all your stuff.
Great lesson love snowy white
I am only at chords stage of learning, but great to learn something of an artist I love, thank you🙂👍
Love this man! Also, I see you caved and trimmed up the beard. Great stuff as always
Fantastic lesson! ✌🏼☮❤
Great video, I was just thinking the other day if need to start on the root note when playing solos...
Great video, a romance with the guitar

As always, a great lesson that provides insight on how to bring ideas into your own playing. Even though there are only 5 notes in the pentatonic, I'm always interested in hearing and seeing how guitar Gods use those notes. I rate this lesson a 5 out of 5: PERFECT FIFTH
The feeling is great - for theory buffs just play the Am6 arpeggio horizontally along the neck, you'll instantly get the notes jumping at ya, then just go semitone above and below those notes - wallah you're in Slabo land for the day, and then use ya ears to grab the other kind of eastern/arabic notes notes hanging around the arpeggio. But the feel on this is fantastic, thanks Stich.
Just stumbled on to this, Stitch, great, great stuff. I always come back to your channel, so much to learn. Stitch another great Peter Green (with John Mayall) you might enjoy is an instrumental in C called "Greeny"...jazzy, bluesy, fun. Robbie in Colorado
Love both them players and yes snowy is great i love midnight blues bird of paradise and so many others very underated guitarist i think.
Ups and downs yeah!
First example I hear you play is Snowy White for sure he has such a unique choice of notes
Thanks for this superb video/ analysis. I’m curious as to what model/ finish of Les Paul you’re using. Now to get my looper and practice based on your analysis and suggestions.
Greetings from N Ft Myers Florida, enjoyed the video! I heard you are in Sarasota, we've been to the Same Ash Music store the when we( my wife Deb) & I first got down here from Chicago in July 2017, we love it here. Do you gig? We definitely have, that's how we made our living for a while, traveling the country & in Europe, was a blast!!! My wife now works for Camping World in Ft Myers, & I drive ( CDL), but what we do with our music now( minus coronavirus) is sell tickets to our show & play mostly original instrumental guitar music ( fusion). Really glad I came across your channel & meet another Floridian! I will check out your other videos, I found out about you through Guitar Hack's live stream on 4-30-20! Stay safe my friend, Rock On & God Bless!!!

So many peoples dumped on the Chinatown album. It is a killer album and Snowy did a great on the two Lizzy albums he played on. It is like Jake E Lee for Ozzy. People love to discuss Rhandy vs Zakk as if Jake never existed.
I like to pick 3 or 4 notes out of the scale and work with the groove , try call and response to see what phrases I can come up with
Great tutorial, so hard to get info on the legendary Peter Green. More please
I remember when "In the skies" came out. ITV in the U.K. actually played a few tracks from it as their shutdown music. This was before 24/7 T.V.
Hands down the best stuff on KZread. Ian I have a couple of questions: First, what key is this? Since it seems to resolve to the Am chord, I’m thinking it’s in C. But it could also be in G? Also, could Dorian be used to add some Peter Green flavor to it? Thanks man. You’re awesome!!!🤘
@StichMethodGuitar

Hey Stephen, can’t be G because there is no F Major in the Key of G. So it is the Key of C, which then answers that it is the A minor scale (relative minor of C) that will work. The A Dorian which is related to the key of G has an F# in it and will clash a lot with some moments. Hope that helped.
Rip Peter):
I "like"your videos before I watch with guitar in hand 🙂
Late to the party as I just discovered Snowy White. This song is epic along with Midnight Blues. Both are master classes on the pentatonic scale. I highly recommend guitarists checking out the KZread video of him playing Midnight Blues live. Watch him working the Em pentatonic scale hard especially the first box shape at the twelfth fret. Pure inspiration for players that are learning.
plays with his thumb... of course the "greatest of all-time thumb players" is the incomparable, immortal wes montgomery, who also gave us the cool jazz sound of sliding octaves!
♥️
Interestingly, the technique you mention in the 4th position was also quite commonly used by Peter Green. He commonly used a 1-2-4 1-2-4 pattern on the B and E strings in the 4th position instead of the Pentatonic's 2-4 1-4 shape. You don't really hear him use that phrasing outside that position. I actually heard this position called "The Green Scale" as well.
Knopflers ripped that one off
I saw Snowy White play with Pink Floyd at Soldier Field Chicago for the Animals tour.
Awesome lesson. Have you heard the the track Apostle from Peter green's in the skies? I believe snowy plays on this as well. The lead part on it sounds amazing, especially the part that sounds like a mexican horn solo. Check it out!!!!!!!
WOW1
brilliant stuff how about a bit of Gary moore
Yeeessssssss
Sort of the same chord progression as All Along the Watchtower, right? I love playing watchtower with open chords like that.

Question about joining your Patreon practice video offer? Do you bill immediately and then thereafter on the 1st of the month? Obviously we are almost at the end of the month right now and I want to understand whether there would be a payment now and then again in approximately 1 week. Can't find the answer on Patreon. Just don't want an unexpected surprise. Looks like a great idea. Thanks for this great video!

I do believe it bills at the first of every month. Again this is what is see, but if you sign up you “pledge” to pay at the first of every month and I do not believe it bills you rights away. I hope that helped and thanks for the question and support.

@@StichMethodGuitar Ian, if you could do the same type of tutorial on "Midnight Blues", that would be great. You are really a great teacher and I watch and learn from all your videos. Thanks.
Similar sound to versions of All Along the Watch Tower
I have a book of Peter Green tabs called Instant Peter Green. I don't use it and would like to pass it on.
If Snowy is not starting with the A root note of A minor pentatonic to create tension does that mean he is playing another mode of C Major?
What type of F chord is he playing? Or is he just muting the 5th and 6th with ring finger and thumb respectively. And is he barring the 1&2 strings on the first fret? Also, he runs through 14 notes in his chord progression but I can't tell where the measure begins or ends. Would be a bit helpful if the chord progression with measure was written on the screen.....especially considering all the other Slabo Day chord progressions I've seen look very different. Sorry, don't mean to sound so negative. It's a great, in depth tutorial. I've learned a lot from his other tutorials but just got lost at the beginning with the chord progression.
Actually F/C, no ? BTW, the version of "A Fool No More" on In The Skies might be a worthwhile tune to explore, as it's a blues, but applies this same "sultry" approach, which makes it highly melodic.

Yes true, the F/C voicing good catch
A burning question: I've recently learned the pentatonic forms via CAGED shapes, where it made so much more sense (to me). The standard"Form 1" is the 'G' shape. Why is it ONE? Shouldn't the C shape be ONE? When you talk about using a 'bit of forms 2 and 3', I have to "translate" and think A and D forms. Life is hard....
@WayneR.1956

And I suppose my follow-up question is why don't more teachers use CAGED? I get we all learn differently...for me, connecting the forms to CAGED really clicked with me - one of those "aha - look at all the pretty light bulbs!" moments

I use caged all the time BUT you can address scale shapes outside of CAGED when only talking about pentatonics. Pentatonics are used in non Caged applications because of the scale intervals. The form 1 I address is a minor Pentatonic that does not have the same root as the G shape. Now yes they go together but not when talking about just scales and their application over a steady jam... hope that kinda made sense. Even thought I LOVE Caged, there is a time and place. Not unless I’m thinking G shaped chord am I thinking G shaped pentatonic.

@@StichMethodGuitar Thank you for your quick response. I'll take some time to absorb your answer - you are clearly on a different plane of understanding than me! I'm a newbie, and all I know is that, for me, I was able to go from tying a root note (on the 6th string) to a shape, to picking a random root anywhere on the fretboard and playing all the forms in that four - fret space. Anyway, THANK YOU - for your time, and tutelage. You are one of the best!
