One of your many skills is making your viewer feel that , deep down, they already know what your explaining, they just couldn't put it into words as clearly and succinctly as you. Thank you for sharing.
A couple weeks ago a local retirement home asked me to play a singalong for the residents there. I'd never played a lot of these songs, show tunes and pre-rock hits and folk songs. Fortunately a lot of experience in knowing my chords and creating a rhythm people can sing with meant I could just pull the changes off the internet and listen to a song a few times and I was off and running. Being a better lead player wouldn't have helped me much! And it turned out to be more fun than I would have thought.
Yeah, I've focused too much on theory and haven't got down any solid riffs and grooves. Thanks for pointing out the importance of having recognizable riffs to jam with.
You're by far the most enjoyable teacher I've tried on all of TH-cam. Your brand of genuine, kind, serious, with a little bit of goofy mixed in. Bravo Eric. I'll be pouring through your videos!
Hello Eric, just found your channel as an amature guitar played who hasn't been playing for 13 years! loving it too much! Can't wait to end my shift too try some!
Have a Fifth Ave matte black, with a stealth Schatten undersaddle I had installed instead of a P 90 what a sweet little guitar Robert Godin is a legend
I'm an ex lead guitarist from age 11, been switching from bass to lead to keep up my speed on 5 string bass. Thanks I'm 73 playing in bands that get occasional gigs.👍😅🎸🎼🎤
In response to the Mazzy Star groove, that tip to hit the B and E string open while changing chords took me right back to 2006 when my first guitar teacher was teaching me how to strum. That was the key trick that got me over my first major learning hump. Syncopated strumming is so fundamental yet so difficult to get right as a beginner! If you're just starting out and you need an extra 8th note of time between your chord fingerings, just hit the B and E string open so you dont break groove!
To build a repertoire is something I find incredibly complicated. You practice a lot of different things and in the end fell sometimes you cannot play any song correctly :)
Loved this one, especially having the recommend list of songs to learn! I’m a trained classical guitarist but I have been wanting to get into blues and rock. Your channel has been a huge help for learning the style and just song suggestions, as I don’t know that much of the rep. Would love to see more of those. I’m grabbing your caged course next paycheck and I am super excited!
My repertoire so far for my jam session this Sunday: Ziggy Stardust Midnight Rambler Stray Cat Blues Jane Says Thank you for Your suggestions in this video!
This was great. Like you said, I don't think Neil Young gets enough credit for the nuance to his playing. It's why so many covers of him just don't sound quite right even though they appear easy.
One the issues with this is because people always say about certain riffs that “this is an easy one to play”. Then the player learns the notes and assume they have it. Nothing is easy if you focus on the nuances. Which is what music is all about. Being in time. Nailing the groove. Making the songs dynamics stand out. Etc. For example. “Seven nation army” is one the “easiest” songs to play. Almost every guitarist can play it. But listen how differently each person sounds playing it. Pressing the right “buttons” isn’t enough.
If you’re going from playing on your ownsome on your sofa to jamming with others, make sure to leave space for those other people. Like Neil Young playing it differently depending on if he’s solo or with a band.
Hey Eric, is there any possibility that you could do a video on Audiation and how to practice for guitar players? This is an issue that I struggle with and I think, that many people might not know that this is one of their struggles aswell… I‘m quite sure that you would do a great job explaining it - since you always do!
You are great Eric. Would love to see you go through Down by the river by Neil Young as well, it has such a cool rhythm-groove. Been practicing that for long and I still struggle hard sometimes.
The doors of perception, or the door into (guitar) summer ;) Applying bookish associations (my apologies) to convey that your lessons have that quality of being inspiring for learning, performing and teaching practices. Thank you, thank you, thank you :)
Getting ready to head to a band rehearsal ( banjo player, but now akso on electric guitar 😅) …. gonna watch this when I get back, but yes, I already kinda keep a few riffs I like and dont try to copy solos not for note
Hey! Love these videos and your instructions. On the subject of Jam sessions and Rythm, may I suggest a deep dive into Bob Weir’s Rythm playing? The Dead are the OGs of jamming and Weir’s Rythm guitar playing is so unique!
It’s a great gtr for jazzy, rockabilly, acoustic type stuff! Being a full hollow with a wooden bridge it’s not so great for bends and that type of thing
Slow Hands by Interpol is a simple song that sounds awesome. It uses some caged chords but nothing crazy. You're basically just sliding the same shape around the whole time.
Hi Eric, would you recommend the c414 for recording a guitar amp? I’m thinking clean/ slight OD sound with high verb mostly? Does that even make a difference?
The C414 will be too crystalline/harsh on the high end of an overdriven guitar. I recommend a ribbon mic - they're smoother/growlier sweetwater.sjv.io/9gXvJE

Eric, one of your many skills as a teacher is your ability to remember what was hard despite having mastered the technique many years ago. Well done.
One of your many skills is making your viewer feel that , deep down, they already know what your explaining, they just couldn't put it into words as clearly and succinctly as you. Thank you for sharing.
Yes! I really think it doesn’t have to be complicated - if we have fun, and focus on feel that’s the stuff!

Yeah! That’s the gig right there!
@@EricHaugenGuitar Now that I'm closing in on retirement myself, playing for old folks is about right.
Yeah, I've focused too much on theory and haven't got down any solid riffs and grooves. Thanks for pointing out the importance of having recognizable riffs to jam with.
I love that you love Neil Young as a player. So much of his stuff seems simple until you attempt it. Legend.
These godins are so nice. I picked up the 2 humbucker version last year and play it unplugged a lot more than I thought I would!
You're by far the most enjoyable teacher I've tried on all of TH-cam. Your brand of genuine, kind, serious, with a little bit of goofy mixed in. Bravo Eric. I'll be pouring through your videos!
I love how he grabs the finesse that helps bring out a better musician in anyone!
Hello Eric, just found your channel as an amature guitar played who hasn't been playing for 13 years! loving it too much! Can't wait to end my shift too try some!
Hi Eric, great video! Thank you for focusing on the important stuff! Cheers from Germany
that 5th avenue is beautiful. i had seen pics before but they didn't do it justice.

That Gibson is beautiful! Love that pick guard on that body.
Love your set-up, cameras, vibe, the whole enchilada. Fledging guitar player your giving hope to. Thanks.
A rare lesson where I know how to do the thing! Whew! Confidence builder! Thank you, Eric! ✌️😌🎸
Yay! Keep it groovy - that’s the main thing!
Talk about "bang for your buck"! Eric comes up with the most useful learning concepts and learning plans.
I'm an ex lead guitarist from age 11, been switching from bass to lead to keep up my speed on 5 string bass. Thanks I'm 73 playing in bands that get occasional gigs.👍😅🎸🎼🎤
Priceless lesson, I needed that, thanks a million
Great lesson, thanks for pointing out the subtle stuff. It's so good to be mentored by a real musician. What a luxury!

Awesome lesson as usual. Also great advice from Frank!

You might be picking stuff that’s too complicated - try some simple stuff and dig in deep with the feel 😎
I heard a saying about feeling the groove which I have taken to heart.Play what you feel and feel what you play.
Pulling a great tone out of that 5th Avenue and Bel Ray--very well-developed hands.
Ive only just now discovered your page. Its so insightful and helpful. And I love the overall vibe. It's great. Thanks a bunch.
Great information. Very important learned skills from hours of having fun. Not practice.
I love your instructions Eric! Please keep it up dude!! 💪
You always come up with such valuable lessons. Thanks
Your class is very interesting. Just a secondary comment. This Godin sounds great in your hand.
Dude, this is exactly what I'm looking for. Your videos are so helpful. Thanks man!
Nuff gems, Eric! Always much appriciloved!
Nice Godin 5th Ave. Just bought one. Thanks
Right!? Such great gtrs for the $$$
Didn't know the guy from Jaws played guitar lol
But only two notes, one semi-tone apart
Hope he got Mary Ellen Moffit

Really cool to see someone of Eric’s cred, rocking on eastmans
Cheers from Canada...
My repertoire so far for my jam session this Sunday:
Ziggy Stardust
Midnight Rambler

Thank you for Your suggestions in this video!
Oooh that’s a good list!
Man, you got some insane guitars. That godin is special. P90s?
Never seen that before. I have a Gretch 6120 Brian Setzer.
Great video, as always

A gem every week! Thanks!
Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful weekend Eric ❤😊

Thank, Eric!
Happy Friday! ✌️🍕🤍
dude you are just a dude and I appreciate that thank you bud👍
What a pretty jazz box🙂
Great video, been listening to Fade into You recently. Figured out the melody on guitar, just followed the chord tones & pentatonic scale.
talking about all this mellow, great sounding songs while wearing a SLAYER shirt!! insta-sub! FU#!ING SLAYER!!!
Great video and thanks!
Another great lesson, Eric.

Had to come back again to this video because it's so good lol, could you do more on integrating theory and groove/repetoire?😅😅
thanks!
Excellent as always 🎉
Great video and advice 👏
Brilliant
Nice Godin!
This is the last guitar training channel I subscribed to. It makes me feel like I could unsubscribe from all others.
Repertoire is where it's at, for real.
love this one ❤️
Be a carpet for the song to lay on, amazing advice!
laying it down like good rug - Thank you.
Facts brother...facts.
A Union Special hat from Raleigh?! My man
Love Mazzy Star!!✌🏼
came here for that 5th avenue
Nice Shoe 10-4
31 years since Fade Into You, holy shit.
I play that doors song sometime's .. Its fun to see what you do different than me :-)
Hmmm. Time well spent here today.
最初のところがめちゃくちゃいいリフ作れそう
This video just slap the shit outta me. Thanks Eric. Into the pocket it is. Oh well
Hey Eric I'm thinking about the Godin, what I am wondering is in what context can I use it for
It’s a great gtr for jazzy, rockabilly, acoustic type stuff! Being a full hollow with a wooden bridge it’s not so great for bends and that type of thing
Yeeees!!!
Great video, great guitars and very good advice. What's the tune at the end ?
Just jammin on “Fade Into You”!
@@EricHaugenGuitar ha yes! I've it on my playlist just couldn't remember what it was . Thanks Eric
Hey Eric what amp do you use with your Godin?
is there an Eric Haugen Fake Book? 100 songs guitarists should know to jam?
Thanks Eric! What are the chords for bitter sweet symphony?
It’s just E Bm D A over and over - so fun!
RIP Dave Roback.
What are some good two guitar songs with basic chords, and a simple guitar riff?
Ooooh good question! AC/DC always comes to mind aaaaaand The Stones
Slow Hands by Interpol is a simple song that sounds awesome. It uses some caged chords but nothing crazy. You're basically just sliding the same shape around the whole time.
@@EricHaugenGuitar 🙏🏼
@@Garrett8098 thank you I appreciate it
Dude suzie Q is Dale Hawkins, come on!
👏👍❣️
