That was awesome Eric. Love how you stuck with that one F#m chord and showed how you build off of a fill. It has more direction and purpose when you build off a theme in my humble opinion. That was some very funky fingerstyle you threw in at the end!!
I’m new to your channel but just wanted to say thank you!! The way you explain concepts makes them so easy to understand and I’ve already taken steps forward in my playing because of you. Thanks again
I love the pedal steel in the backing track; one of my favorite musical sounds. And your guitar tone is so smooth and clear, yet punchy...very easy on the ears! Thanks for the great lesson, Eric!
Thanks Frank! You're gonna hear that steel more and more on my tracks :-D I don't know why I haven't thought to use it more already - It's a nice, organic complement to all the midi drums and keys I use.
Eric, I wish I knew what it is about your backing tracks, especially this one, that sounds moving and holds the attention. your backing tracks are pure gold!!
Thanks! I'm particularly happy with this jam track 'cause I added some pedal steel - which I don't usually do :-D Plus, there's a sale on Toontrack plugins going on right now, so I got the "Latin Percussion" for the congas, and "60s soul" for the drums. So fun!
Incredibly tasty tone and playing as always. Really appreciate the way you explain these concepts in such a practical and accessible way. Fantastic! :)
Incredible video, Eric! You're such a great teacher. I really appreciate it when you use intervals, numbers and relative positions to explain why things sound the way they do. It's easy on the mind because I seems like everyone can hear intervals naturally, but when too much music theory it can get overwhelming... However, you have a great balance in sharing the right amount of information to a wide range of skill level. QUESTION: I remember you showing a Hendrix technique that involved bending a string up and switching to the higher string that was also bent upwardly and bringing that one down. I can't remember which video that was in.... It'd be great if you'd make a video(s) about solo techniques in general. I don't mean, "use these licks to sound good"... I mean something more on the lines of demonstrating various: Slide-forms/combinations; bend combinations; sequences, mixing the various techniques and other rhythmic-melody mixes that relate to *modeling a vocalist*... essentially a lesson on techniques that will help *vocalize* on the guitar. "To think of the guitar as a voice", and to remove the barriers between your throat and fingers. Thanks Eric! 10:40 "Never just take one thing, as though it's just one thing." This is what I mean! Greatness!
You and I think alike, Michael! I'm actually working on a phrasing lesson as we speak! The idea is exactly what you talk about: How to make the guitar *sing* like a person. Small slides, bends, hammerons, and grace notes all in the context of humanizing the guitar. No hot licks, no runs, just mellifluous-ity :-D Stay tuned, bro!
I really like that 3 chord cadence at about 8:18 (that resolves to F#m). It's like the so-called "Mario Cadence" in minor with some major 7 prettiness thrown in.
Great lesson as always and explain very well Eric. You teach new things and then give a good explanation on how to why .Always look forward to your posting ! Keep up the great postings .. hope you had a great thanksgiving! ✌🏻
@@EricHaugenGuitar Dude playing Hendrix used to frighten me and I thought I would I would never be able to get it down but broken down like this makes it so much easier to grasp. Just a matter of practice and practice to get the fill note progression and tecnique down and onto generating the speed.
Thanks so much! In general, I try to work on my right hand techniques as much as my left. Different approaches, pick angles, etc. I find that we guitar players like to focus on the left hand as it looks like it's the one doing all the work, but the right hand is the real hero! :-D
Always like watching and listening , and I like no pick , the hands can effect things the pedals try to mimic! But, nothing like a few effects to get tone and sustain. Like that Mustang!
Some people pointed out that it sounded like Knoppler and they are right. But when you mentioned Steely Dan as the inspiration for the groove, it made more sense. Started hearing Do It Again in my mind 😊
Thanks J! I'm always coming up with new ways to adapt all the brilliant little things hendrix did - he is forever the ultimate omega dude lord of electric guitar.
Eric Haugen, I feel the same about Knopfler. Personally, I think he's the best all-time guitarist/song writer. The music and lyrics of "Done With Bonaparte" still get to me every time. I think my favorite tune of his. But, I feel you're selling yourself short on your guitar talent. And, as I said before, you sing like a thousand angels. ;) Keep up the good work, Friend.
Eric may I suggest (if you don't know it) the 2001 live in Toronto version of Sailing to Philadelphia. The way he turns around the melody on the guitar and the chord positions he uses are terrific. And frustrating...
Oh yeah - that little thing :-D Just messing with the F# Minor Pentatonic. If Steve K slows down the vid, I'm sure it'll pretty easy to break it up into 3 or 4 separate little phrases. Good Luck!
Eric that is how I figure out everything not taught in the video.I Download video to computer,Use Vlc player ,Loop section,Slow down section.Also I know scales so I can figure out things quickly as well,Unfortunately I cant download a video because my camera is outdated but If judson moore wants tab I can easily do that.
I was going to say this, too. There's something very much like an early Dire Straits song in this lesson. Thanks for the lesson. It's just the sort of thing I really value!
A fantastic lesson again Eric. Do you view skipping a set of strings as going to the 4 chord ( b minor pentatonic 5 string version)?. If so would moving up 2 frets to the 5 chord work?, or am I over thinking it ! Your lessons are by far the best on TH-cam, keep up the great work. All the best Karl
Good question, Karl! If the chord changes, I'd change to the minor pentatonic that suits it. So yes, if the song went to B minor and then C# minor, I'd do exactly as you said. But, if the chord doesn't change, I'd stay within the same root 6 form.
@@EricHaugenGuitar He's the man. You should listen to his version of Lullaby of Birdland if you haven't already. He plays it like a fugue, and in drop-D!
Awesome stuff once again. I've been watching your videos for a while now, slowly trying to use and do the things you do. Quite some work I must say. I was wondering if you would consider doing a video about Robby Krieger's guitar playing style, as you have done for so many other awesome guitar players. I'd love to see Robby Krieger's style reused and re-imagined in helpful yet insanely good way you do it. Keep up the good work.
@@EricHaugenGuitar Absolutely! Can't stress that enough. The way the different components and musical styles (flamenco, jazz, blues) of Ray, Robby and John merged with Jim's mysterious, ingenious and poetic words. Insane. :D And to understand at least some of the musical aspects, especially Robby's dissonant and weirdly awesome guitar playing, is to understand at least some of the stuff that was going through their heads at the time. Thanks for answering man.
ooooh fun question! I'd start with a decent light overdrive pedal. I love my Strymon deco, but they're expensive. I also really like the Paul Cochrane Timmy Pedal and the Ibanez TS808 vintage tubescreamer reissue. If your amp has reverb, then great! If not, I'd recommend a reverb pedal too. I like the Strymon Flint (expensive), TC Electronics Hall of Fame, or the Boss RV-5.
Hey Eric, that was just what I needed! I'll settle into this vid and see how I can generalise the lesson across the fret board. Do you have a patron page? It would be cool for those of us benefitting from your lessons to be able to buy merch or donate. Also, love to see you do some Tom Petty stuff if you're into that guy...(who isn't into that guy?) Thanks for great vids man!
Good idea! I should put a Patreon page together :-D Btw - I've working on an arrangement of "It's Good to be King." Should be out in a few weeks! I love Tom Petty.
It's interesting to see that Silver tone amp. I had one as a kid. Wish I still had it. I don't think I really knew what I had, from a retrospective point of view. It sound's nice.
Mike Adams, the offset guru in LA, prefers giving the non-business end the vibrato arm a tap with a hammer. Deforming it a bit takes up that extra space and keeps it from wiggling around.
Thanks Giancarlo! The mic goes through an Art Mp tube preamp, then to my tascam DR40 field recorder. I line everything back up and tweak the sound in Garageband :-D
i think you're awesome, please keep it going, i would love to book a lesson or donate you anytime, but i'm broke as fuck, still, i think you're great and generous, thank you
I think I gonna stick to that F#minor a couple of days. I really love that groove (makes me think of that tune th-cam.com/video/9_9vd3i2DKk/w-d-xo.html )

Rock on, buddy!
Can I ask - would you recommend using all the positions of the pentatonic scales when you’re inventing fills?
Thanks so much again!
Awesome lesson, another favorite for the playlist
You always have a fresh take on even the most hackneyed topics. Great tone and touch too, Bravo Eric!
Thanks so much, Sparky!

That's music to a music teacher's ears. Totally agree, too.
Another awesome video. You cover so many styles in these lessons. Thank you
Thanks!
I know I'm kinda all over the place, but that's how I like it! :-D
So much tasty guitar goodness in this lesson. Thank you Eric!

Stonking lesson. Some bloody brilliant playing too
Thanks Steve!
I had to google "stonking" - now I'm learning things too!
I haven't heard anyone say "stonking" for about 40 years!
Top work Eric, gonna mess around with some of your ideas - cheers
Excellent! That's what I love to hear!

Thanks Wilbert!
I think I'm finally hungry again after Thursday :-D
Happy Holidays!
this was soo good. so so so good. thanks Eric!!!
Thanks so much man!
I always stress the importance of looking for the slideys, flatties, and diagonals to my in-person students :-)
Yea Hendrix , I take those anytime. I was kind of doing that because it sounded cool also but now I know how to add it correctly and in order.
Yeah! Literally every chord has a way it can be Hendrix-fied!
Such a great soulful trick
Consider my mind impregnated with wonder! Thank you sir. I dig your Hendrix-ian talks.
Excellent!
Thanks for watching!
Dude I love your approach to demonstrating you technique and ways to remember it. Suchngrewtbtone and your an awesome player
Thanks so much Glenn!

Oh, I love this! Thanks Eric.

a friend of mine had a Mustang back in the mid-60's & it sure was sweet thru a Magnatone amp..I had the Silvertone
Cool!
I've never had the pleasure of playing though an old Magnatone, but I've read about them :-D
I heard a bit of Six Blade Knife (Mark Knopfler).
Nice. Thanks for posting the vid
That's high praise indeed! Thank you!
Knopfler is one my guitar and songwriting heroes. I only understand about 15% of what he does :-D
Eric Haugen, I feel the same about Knopfler. Personally, I think he's the best all-time guitarist/song writer. The music and lyrics of "Done With Bonaparte" still get to me every time. I think my favorite tune of his.

Beautiful!
Thanks so much!
These little Hendrix-y fills are so fun to work on!
I would love to see you breakdown that little run you did just after introducing the Rode mic! Sweet stuff, man!
I could post a video on how to play it.
That would be great, Steve!
I'll see what I can film in the next two days.If its O.K with Eric.

Excellent Thanksgiving pun, btw :-D
So basically anything goes aslong as its notes in the scale, and you just go with what works? Really getting into your videos mate, very fresh ideas.
Yeah! That's the magic of pentatonics - they always work!
Great sound as usual................sounds a bit Knopfler-ish to my ear. You can never stop learning. Keep em coming !
I was going to say this, too. There's something very much like an early Dire Straits song in this lesson. Thanks for the lesson. It's just the sort of thing I really value!
I think it’s because he is using his fingers today like Knopfler
I agree with Charles
I totally agree!
I've been listening to a lot of the first record lately, so it must be influencing my playing by osmosis :-D
A fantastic lesson again Eric.
Do you view skipping a set of strings as going to the 4 chord ( b minor pentatonic 5 string version)?. If so would moving up 2 frets to the 5 chord work?, or am I over thinking it !

Teflon Tape (for plumbing) also works really well on the trem.

Awesome, I guess 'Hendrixian' is a real word now. Hey, it's deserved. 😉
Hooray!
Perhaps my legacy shall be the addition of the word "Hendrixian' to the lexicon :-D
@@EricHaugenGuitar I think I've heard Guthrie Govan say that word as well (I might be wrong though), hell of a player he is too!
Dig the Fender Mustang
As an Ian I can confirm that these licks are definitely more Hendrix than Ian
Eric do you use acrylic nails on your picking hand?
Naw, I'm just very careful with them :-)
are you missing your set screw for your trem bar?
Yup! But even when I had it, the bar would work it's way loose. I think it's 'cause my bar is non-original and doesn't fit totally right :-D
Have you listened to much Peter Green, Eric? Your playing reminds me of his more laid-back material. I'm thinking of "Last train to San Antone."
"Albatross" lives in my stack of "songs I gotta make videos for" - love it!
And what kind of effects do I need to start with?
ooooh fun question!
