Thanks Steve! Stay tuned - I'm gonna do more of these "airy"/"noir" renditions. Next up, I'm working on Bob Dylan's "Señor" from Street Legal. Underrated record.
Oh wow, every little vibrato wiggle, note choice, string mute to hear the delay trails bounce around in my headphones soaked in sweet Hiwatt tone was just magical! I thought I even heard a stereo tremolo bounce from left to right. I’m a sucker for a bisgby equipped tele. All the times I’ve seen that tele I’ve never looked at the notes to see it was a cij. I’ve got a 91 mij 62RI strat that is my number 1. Loved everything about this lesson. Even if I don’t have time to learn them, I enjoy watching them. I like to think I soak a little mojo up!
Thanks man! I always aim for a sound that's immediately recognizable after one phrase - "...oh that's Eric!" All my heroes are that way - you can tell Hendrix from one chord, Knopfler from 3 notes, etc.
I'd like to think he would - he's one of my all time faves. He's got those lines that just tear through to the heart of everything that just slay. Those pedal steel tracks got a phase 90 into the Fender Tone Master Deluxe Reverb - so trippy!
Thanks Jon! Wes is one of my all time faves - I didn't even make the connection until you pointed it out, but yeah there's definitely some of his block chord technique in this. In a very primitive way, of course!
@@EricHaugenGuitar Wes's cord technique is there for any artist to access; you are kindred in the way vocal melody finds expression in your playing. That's special; and that's my story and I'm sticking to it! LOL
I just love to watch you play guitar with that beautiful tone and feel...gives me the chill bumps every time...or is that the Covid 19 ?!? Thank You Mr. Eric.
Guitar is the cure for Coronavirus! The mainstream media doesn’t want you to know! Seriously though, it’s so great to have guitar right now - such a friend
I was thinking of you when I put it together! I really wanted to make it pretty, but thoroughly playable - unlike my Hendrix-y arrangements, where I sorta jam in a bunch of extra fills to try to impress people :-)
Nice... it’s a song I had up until today rather grown to dislike, probably because how over played in folk clubs of late. Your version is actually getting me to want to learn your version, if my arthritic wrists will allow me👍🤟👍
Thank you Eric, this is a nice one! Also, I have noticed that I like to incorporate too many Hendrix-type embellishments into each and every chord I encounter (just cannot resist it :)). Those "spacious" arrangements of your are really good, but I can't seem to come up with something like this - do you have any suggestions?
Ain't nuthin wrong with too much Hendrix :-) For these type of arrangements, I keep it as simple as possible - melody is most important, then whatever chord tones I can fit underneath. But, if I can't fit a chord root, sometimes I'll just leave it out and let the famous melody carry the whole thing.
They sound so good and are so easy to dial in! I have Waves reverbs too, but I never use them - it's always vintage verb for me (like literally every video).
Good morning Eric, good morning everyone! (I am Brazilian and I am using the translator, I hope he does a good job) Thanks for another beautiful video. Could you post something by Peter Green? Hendrix, Gilmour and P Green are my references and Blues Rock, my passion. Big hug, God bless us!
@@EricHaugenGuitar Slabo Day. It has all the spice of Peter Green ... the dynamics, the "silence" moment, the simplicity full of content and the feeling ... in short ... it is the "Green" soul
this arrangement cries out for a b-bender too. youve got a couple licks in there that do the Hendrix version of faux pedal steel bends nicely. it makes me want to hear more on the next chorus, which is cool because the way youve played the head is so low key that youve got a lot of room to add fireworks down the line. Reminds me of Kenny Burrell's arrangement of Greensleeves that way.
Eric Haugen i used to play in a band with a guy who had one and i could never ger used to playing it, but the stuff he could do with it was really cool. i keep thinking about getting one of those lever style ones that hipshot makes though and putting it on a partscaster. they look like theyd be easier to learn how to use.
I have been trying to dig into Leonard Cohen's catalog recently, so far I've only listened to I'm Your Man in its entirety. What album would you recommend that I should listen next? Thanks Eric.
BasicGRIT he covers so much ground. Start at the beginning: Songs of Leonard Cohen. Songs of love and hate is also fantastic. Various positions is brilliant (almost bad/good in some ways). One of my favorite albums is the Phil Spector produced “Death of a Ladies Man”.
maybe it's Narciso Ypes rules? he was so devoted to keeping his thumb reserved on the bass strings that he played single note scalar passages i-m-a on all the strings like a 7th semester prog rock bass principal performance major.
yeah although you can see him playing the trebles with his thumb in this video. his right hand technique sounds so precise and yet it looks so relaxed. th-cam.com/video/lY3JuHItbts/w-d-xo.html
I like your manner & presentation very much, and you play cool guitars, nicely. But if I never hear this song again before I die, I'll die happy! It's rapidly closing in on Amazing Grace for most over-covered song in the universe. :^{ (Btw, Why was L Cohen always on the verge of broke? Didn't the royalties get to him?)
@@EricHaugenGuitar :^) I felt regret the moment I posted, cuz your version really is well done. Why should my personal song-fatigue cast a shadow on someone else's musical expression? Btw, I'd love to hear more of your Danelectro '59XT (slide or otherwise); that's a fresh & sweet sounding guitar.
Thanks Matt! My favorite musicians are the ones where you can recognize their personality from just a few notes - that's what I hope for in myself, and, my students!
Friday is getting to be my favorite day of the week: I know you are going to post something amazing, which you did, thank you.
Thanks Jean! It's fun for me too - I get to share what I've been working on with all my friendly and supportive subscribers! It's a win/win!
That’s why we love your arrangements! Thanks, Ed!
Thanks Steve!
Stay tuned - I'm gonna do more of these "airy"/"noir" renditions. Next up, I'm working on Bob Dylan's "Señor" from Street Legal. Underrated record.
That was just beautiful, Bravo!
As ever, another lovely, effortlessly musical arrangement. Thank you so much for this one and all that you do.
Thanks David! I think I'm gonna do more of these "spacious" arrangements - they're so satisfying to play!
trying to play in between the notes and using negative space and silence is much harder than virtuosic gymnastics. well done as always man!
Thanks Rob! It feels so good to just let things breathe, especially in stressful times like now!
Excellent as Always my Friend
Thanks Kent!
Sweet Lesson! Thanks for sharing Eric. Peace
Thanks Dave!!
Impeccable tone Haugen, and that 8th feet bend in the course. Magnifique!
Thanks Lorcan!
That bend is where I put as much of the feels as I could muster 🙌
Smooth stuff. Great take on a classic
Thanks man!
Thanks, Eric. Very soulful.
Thanks man!

Oh yeah on the lesson part I put some panning tremolo on the tele - kinda distracting, but also hypnotic 🎩
Beautiful job man!... Soulful and sweet... Good, good stuff!
Thanks Walt!
Beautiful. Thanks, Eric. Learning this now.
Yay! That sounds like a fun weekend to me - good luck 🍻
This is the Best I've ever heard Hallelujah, it's simply the best.tanx for vid
Dude wow thanks so much - I almost felt blasphemous myself attempting it!
Dang... you went and did it again! More amazing guitar playing. Dude you have some of the most expressive touch on the guitar. Cheers!
Thanks man!
I always aim for a sound that's immediately recognizable after one phrase - "...oh that's Eric!"
All my heroes are that way - you can tell Hendrix from one chord, Knopfler from 3 notes, etc.
Eric Haugen - yep, you’ve nailed it! Cheers!
so good, man!
🤝🍻
That is really beautiful. Thank you for that.
Thanks so much Marc!
Lenore Cohen approves this video message.... excellent as always Eric! Especially enjoy the slide overdubs!
I'd like to think he would - he's one of my all time faves. He's got those lines that just tear through to the heart of everything that just slay.
Those pedal steel tracks got a phase 90 into the Fender Tone Master Deluxe Reverb - so trippy!
Eric Haugen very early Gilmore slide tones. Most excellent !
Beautiful stereo tone! Nice lesson, as always.
Oh yeah - I put on soundtoys tremolator on the lesson part of the audio. Forgot I did that!
I love Friday mornings because of Eric's lessons.
It's fun for me too!
I look forward to sharing what I've been working on with so many like-minded tasteful guitar buddies out there!
Great lesson 👍🏻
Thanks Josef!
Gorgeous in every way, 'nuff said!
Thanks friend!
sounds class, man
Thanks Mark!
Dude you have the best videos!
Thanks so much Jordan!
As you can probably guess, I'm a bit of a perfectionist/workaholic - so it always feels good when people notice :-)
Fabulous!
Thanks my fellow Erick!
Excellent
Thanks man!
Octave-less essence of Wes Montgomery and I bet he never crossed your mind. LOL Eric you are truly amazing; thank you for sharing.

I will learn this beautiful rendition if it takes me the rest of my life. That was simply so beautiful. Thanks Eric.
Kevin O'Rourke

Bout time you brought the Tele back out. Terrific rendition
Thanks Adam!
This vid was worth it just for that G to E7 trick. :-)
Yeah! That was truly one of those "..aha!.....sweeeet!" moments when I found that connector.
Nice... it’s a song I had up until today rather grown to dislike, probably because how over played in folk clubs of late. Your version is actually getting me to want to learn your version, if my arthritic wrists will allow me👍🤟👍
Thanks Paul!
I know it's been done to death, but I figured "...heck, why not throw my version in the mix?"

Beautiful as usual. Another thing in common I'm also using Valhalla plugins.
They sound so good and are so easy to dial in! I have Waves reverbs too, but I never use them - it's always vintage verb for me (like literally every video).
Same here, and the Tape Delay with the Delay plug.

I completely agree with Josef K! Start with Songs of Leonard Cohen for sure.
Closing my eyes by fleetwood mac would be up your alley!
Oooh good idea!
That one is earning an A for Absolute Legend.
That nice slide lick at 0'21, fuck me. May i suggest a Richard Thompson take on "As I Went Out One Morning" from Bob Dylan ?
Oooh good idea!
Next up in this style I've worked out Dylan's "Señor" - stay tuned for that one!
Sounds like you're using a wide panned tremolo. What pedal did you use for this?
Trickery! it's the Soundtoys "Tremolator" plugin
I actually forgot I left that on when I mixed it down - I was just goofing around with sounds :-)
This is awesome! Do you have an album or spotify where we could listen to your instrumentals? Could listen to them all day!
Thanks!
Ya know, I haven't gotten around to doing an instrumental record of covers but I really ought to!
Thats is awesome and beautiful......how about Funny how time slips away?
oooh good idea! I'll add it to the list - ya gotta love Willie!
The Hiwatt system sounds great
It's a very unique amp! Very hi-fi and even - definitely it's own thing. Not Fender, marshall, or Vox.
holy s***! I love that Tele!
maybe it's Narciso Ypes rules? he was so devoted to keeping his thumb reserved on the bass strings that he played single note scalar passages i-m-a on all the strings like a 7th semester prog rock bass principal performance major.

Oh yeah his version is absolute 🔥
The hendrix'hammer on sounds better with a big muff. Lol
hahahaha that'd be flubby as hell!
One word: EXQUISITE
Aww shucks thanks Stephen 🍻
Oops, Eric!
less is more
Truth!
yup... stealing..........
Let's say "sharing" :-)
stealing has such a negative connotation 🕵🏻♂️
