@@PabPapp1 Songwriting is a different skill set than playing an instrument. A master guitarist can make a whole career playing parts on existing songs, and many prefer that to songwriting. If you are looking to learn songwriting, there are some great TH-cam channels dedicated to that.
It’s crazy how much Hendrix and Clapton styles have on us now. Double stops and major/min pentatonic and then trills. So so good. It’s everywhere. From Led Better, Mayer, to I could die a happy man country stuff and Stapleton, to Wild Rivers, to basically anything good. 😊
Eric, I've watched hundreds of hours of online "lessons". Somehow, I've missed you until now. Something in your approach has clicked and I've broken through a wall. You're speaking and playing in a way that I connect with. I can feel a lot of floating ideas coalescing into a coherent picture. It feels "next level"!! Thanks for being there, man!
Great lesson, Eric! The corner of the guitar universe you're talking about is indeed the place we all seek to be - it's the key to truly making music, rather than repeating memorized riffs. If you're a solo player that wants to sound like a band, it's a necessity. Your walk through the fundamentals to get us seeing how to run like pros is a revelation. A shout out to Wes Montgomery, who's use of the octave interval taught all the Pentatonic rockers how to put sparkle in a lead line.
“If the chord progression is dope you don’t have to do that much” This right here! If the progression and melody are awesome this is so so easy to do! My singer/songwriter always compliments my playing and I’m just like, girl! You wrote a dope at melody/chord progression, I’m just following along!
You have so many unique god-tier video ideas. It’s refreshing to see concept based videos like this and not just the usual “blues scale soloing.” For sure will be purchasing your course
In 5 bloody minutes you've explained CAGED better than a DOZEN long winded, complex courses have ever done!! You made it USEABLE! Man, I really will "help a brutha out" after this!! Now, on to the rest of the video..............😎👍
First time watching your channel, I am throughly impressed by your method of teaching. I’ve been playing on and off the last 12 years and there is easily one of my concise videos I’ve seen. I’ll will different purchase your course.
Your tone and feel is always spot on and keeps getting better and better. Very inspiring. I’m a fan of your aesthetics too. The plants and colors. That new guitar sounds and looks amazing. Thanks for the great content. I’m gonna check out that Idles song. I didn’t realize they had melodic stuff. I remember them as more thrash punk.
IDLES have some great stuff on these last few records that really covers a lot of ground and I think expands to some easier jumping in points! I second everything you mentioned, Eric you’ve been helping me out for years and the videos keep getting better. Thank you!
As someone who typically picks things up extremely quickly, guitar has always kept me interested since it is one of the few things where I have had to put in the work to see results.
Thank you for this remarkable lesson, that is very generous of you, I understand it evolved from your education and many hours of commitment to the instrument! Im looking forward to purchasing your new course, and because of your tremendously professional and customer friendly website, I look forward to purchasing the short version lessons. Many of the online purchase sites are confusing and do not welcome pay pal. Awesome Everything! Thank you!
I love that you did an IDLES song, because I haven't been keeping up with their most recent stuff. It sent me down a rabbit hole of trying to figure out their guitar style and listening to Crawler. much appreciated.
Love, love, love Bob Weir's incredible guitar playing, which I honestly believe is far too overlooked. His use of inversions and unusual and unexpected rhythms...just absolutely spectacular.
Hi Eric I has been following your channel for some time and I love the way you put "stuff" to the purpose of made music, I pre-order you course and I got it already, I want to go deep with it and consolidate the bunch of concepts that I am starting to being able to use properly to enjoy creating music with rhythm, fills, leads... Thank you so much for all you lessons and the courses, you are a great player and a great teacher. Best wishes to you Eric! (btw: this lesson is an extremely useful compendium of the magic of having everything related in music and guitar)
I’m definitely picking up this new course. I’ve always thought that rhythm and chordal work is far more interesting and can add beautiful textures to a song.
Congrats on the awesome tone, and beautiful guitar. I love how it also appears to have been masterfully fashioned from the tree that used to nobly stand on the corner, just down the street...
Thanks for the heads up on your new course. Purchased. My summer goal - watch all four of your Truefire videos, pick one to focus on and work through it in detail.
Well thanks Eric! I’m feeling like a genius as, after playing for decades, have only recently worked out that the four main bar chord shapes I play - E shape, Em shape, A shape and Am shape there are corresponding pentatonic shapes immediately under my fingers, and now waking up to the fact that you, and everyone else, already knew it! 😂😂 ah well, it was fun while it lasted . . .
That’s where it starts! Honestly there’s so much we can do with those E and A shapes, we don’t NEED the others! But it does make things flow easier once all the shapes are there
I'm usually very traditional with my tastes for guitars, Les Paul with (p90s), Jazzmaster _with_ a rhythm circuit, and hey, a Strat better have 3 single coils... but damn that guitar is sick. Sick.

The highest tier of guitar mastery lives between rhythm and lead! We should all strive to work toward it. Thanks for the tips!
yes but can you make a good song?

It just makes sense that my two favourite guitar related channels are aware of each other hahahahaga, glad to see you here Andre!
Nice to see you here! Just saw your SG vid, pretty much all the same opinions 😂
@@PabPapp1 Mastering guitar and song writing are 2 different skill sets
I love IDLES so much. If everybody felt their music like they do, the world would be an even better place.
Version of this song on From the Basement is amazing
You're a very calming presence in my life right now, I appreciate the Zen approach you have to music
It’s crazy how much Hendrix and Clapton styles have on us now. Double stops and major/min pentatonic and then trills. So so good. It’s everywhere. From Led Better, Mayer, to I could die a happy man country stuff and Stapleton, to Wild Rivers, to basically anything good. 😊
Why dont you listen to some Ike Turner, Buddy Guy and Freddie King.Without those three, there would have been no Jimi or Eric.
Also checkout some Texan Clint Strong who played with Merle Haggard.Clint was a prodigy under Howard Roberts.
HAPPY LISTENING!
Thank you Eric, I have to say that I have never been so happy to support a creator, I really appreciate what you do.
Thank you Jean - I really appreciate it!

Best music channel on TH-cam at the moment. Thank you so much for this!
That intro..... what a sound!
Look at this guitar! When the changes are DOPE...you don't have to shoehorn something in! Love you.
Thanks Timothy ! 🧡 !
That's a badass guitar. Thanks for the great lesson!
Protect this man! He is a gift!

Great Channel! I have surfed many channels, but Eric shows better paths for playing and understanding the guitar.
That space is where I live. Thanks for this one, Eric.
Thanks for all the great content! Really appreciate your approach to teaching as well as your playing. Keep on being awesome.
I am in love with that guitar.
That guitar. Oh my god.
Another excellent vid
WOW!! THANK YOU, ERIC, FOR THIS INCREDIBLE DEMO/LESSON!! THAT'S A VERY NICE LOOKING, AND, SOUNDING GUITAR!!
Again. Eric’s teaching speaks to me. It’s how my brain works. Thanks man🎸
Playing the changes is a great course title. Can’t wait to check it out!
That guitar is so off the charts... so is your playing. Cheers...
Bob Weir's work in the late seventies and '80s was fantastic

what a freaking-killer instrument.
beautiful and naturally inspiring to play?! imho so, so, cool!
i think it's a callaham brigsy or tele. no cares i know. i just like it.
June 5th is my birthday. What an amazing present for myself! Great video, as always.

Thanks for this, as someone who likes to play a little bit of everything but isn’t very good at guitar this helps a lot
Really solid recap of such fine fundamentals. Grabbing the new coarse now. Bravo, brother. Bravo.
that tone is beautiful
been thinking on this topic a lot recently - studying bob weir especially! v excited to dig into this
Love, love, love Bob Weir's incredible guitar playing, which I honestly believe is far too overlooked. His use of inversions and unusual and unexpected rhythms...just absolutely spectacular.
Weir is the master when it comes to this style of guitar playing. Criminally underrated!
Thank you Eric!
Them changes...holy Buddy Miles.
That guitar sounds incredible.
That guitar sounds AWESOME.
Best guitar teacher!
Woah WTF Eric Haugen and IDLES, that's like my two favorite things in the world! Totally didn't expect to hear The Beachland Ballroom on this channel
You'd be surprised at how much wild & screechy stuff I enjoy!
I haven't seen one of your videos for a while and had forgotten about how your tone is always gorgeous. Such great lessons and content overall.
Yes, between rhythm and lead IS where it's all at. If you can arrive here - you're there!
Already have the next TrueFire course -- your 'Playing The Changes' course -- ordered. Very much looking forward to it. Thanks, Eric!
What a cool concept that rarely gets addressed. Cool lesson!
You make the complex simple!
Guitar looks beautiful.
"The Wind Cries Mary" is chock full of this stuff.
I do like Mondays, superb Eric
Dude ive recently discovered your channel and have been binge watching a bunch of your tutorials! Keep going man! Love the lessons!

I subscribed immediately after that first big bend
Thank you, Eric! ✌️😌🎸
You are amazing... I'm playing bass, but it inspires me.... your videos....
I’m definitely picking up this new course. I’ve always thought that rhythm and chordal work is far more interesting and can add beautiful textures to a song.
Excellent description of how to view harmony and melody; great video
What a sound!
Congrats on the awesome tone, and beautiful guitar. I love how it also appears to have been masterfully fashioned from the tree that used to nobly stand on the corner, just down the street...
Thanks, Eric! The essential info is here. You are right.
Wowwee that guitar is beautiful.
Awesome. Love the Truefire format. We're spoiled for learning options in 2023.
Thanks for the heads up on your new course. Purchased. My summer goal - watch all four of your Truefire videos, pick one to focus on and work through it in detail.
Thanks Steve!
Just found this channel and quality is great and love the way you think and teach things.
Lovely intro, very Gilmouresque when you flipped the switch 😃👍🏽✌🏽
"The Place Between Rhythm & Lead" - you mean middle position, right? Okay, seriously. I really enjoyed this! Thank you, Eric.
Great one this week, Eric. Super practical advice. Big thanks.
Marr is the best example of blend between lead and rhythm
Oh hell yea!
The intro Sounds like gilmore, hendrix, and peter green rolled into one. Beautiful.
IDLES are great songwriters and fun wild shows! So glad you are a fan!
Idles rule, great lesson, that guitar sounds amazing!!
You always make sense Eric! Beautiful logic articulated expertly! Thanks!✌️❤️
Eric has had a haircut. Looking sharp!!! Another great lesson.
intro sounds like a wilco-fication of IDLES and I love it
people make fun of the concept, but this is the definition of playing with feel
The video that decided me to take my guitar learning seriously and buy one of your courses 😊 glad I did!
Beautiful playing and beautiful guitar. Instant like
Thanks Eric, bought the course! ❤
Thank you!!
Amazing
Great playing! And that guitar is stunningly beautiful!
That is one good looking guitar.
Love your channel! You inspired me to get back into playing
Wicked tunes on the demo! Nice guitar tone good vibes

Great video brother! Sick guitar
This is so helpful, thank you kindly
Great explaining and tone thanks
Wow, just discovered this channel after years of YT guitar searches.
once again a masterclass. Keep it up!! Thanks man!
This is how guitar should be played.
Nice guitar by danielfields
Did not expect Idles to be the template
Very cool guitar Eric. Love the headstock shape and the SG style chamfers on a T type 👌
You the best thanks dawg 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Hey man always considered my play style this way , nice job
I'm usually very traditional with my tastes for guitars, Les Paul with (p90s), Jazzmaster _with_ a rhythm circuit, and hey, a Strat better have 3 single coils... but damn that guitar is sick. Sick.
