- Pentatonic scales aren't just for aimless blues-noodling! They are actually the oldest, purest, & simplest way to say something nice that fits IN ANY GENRE!
Also, they very naturally create many tasteful doublestop opportunities. Watch me hunt for them.

It’s like having a friend who’s amazing at guitar giving you tips. Should have way more subscribers.
OK, it's official. We now NEED a whole lesson about picks and how to use them.
V-picks. I use to be of the all too familiar mindset that paid little attention to the plectrum as it pertained to the overall guitar tone… then I stumbled upon V-picks and after being so appalled at their audacity to charge $5 for 1 pick and their 1998 website… I figured there had to be something to them. After the very first chord I strummed I turned around and ordered more. They are way thicker than what you’re probably use to but they don’t play like it.
And they have picks that are beveled specifically for lead playing or rhythm strumming.
I use the “Traditional” and “Traditional lite”.
I’m not endorsed by them, although I wish I was… but seriously man, never felt or heard anything like the way they glide across and through the strings, creating a really fat and lush tone.
Hell yes. I struggle with the pick.
The most entertaining and most useful of all the guitar instructional channels on TH-cam. All about the music! Thanks Eric.
Damn Straight
Agreed, love this dude sm
Hands. Down.
Double stops really bring the strat to life. I feel inspired to improvise now. Thanks man
YES!!!!
Blur the lines and tap into the inner child that just wants to mess with stuff!
I watched a documentary about Michael Bloomfield recently; a distinctive blues-guitar stylist, to be sure, but something seemed to be missing, and then it hit me: no doublestops, no chords, no rhythm, just single-note leads. Hendrix once said he wanted to "burn" Clapton because Clapton didn't play rhythm, only lead. I personally find myself drawn to the players who work in and out of, and around, chords and chord positions.
My recipe for for the perfect day before work tomorrow:
1. Sunshine ✅
2. Playing enteric Russian Roulette with cold pizza from the night before.✅
3. Noodling on a beat up, unplugged 30 year old Squire Strat while binging my way through this channel.✅
4. Laundering work clothes ❎
Thank you, good sir.
Excellent channel.
Very similar to my days off!
You have great taste in guitars and also flannel shirts. I can appreciate both. Quickly becoming one of my favorite guitar ideas channel. Love the ability to buy lessons a al carte. Keep up the good work, and thank you!
man, I think this was the very first time I had my guitar with me watching a new vid of yours.. and dude, we jammed today. vid is over and jam continues over here.
We Always be Riffin' Brah!
When your guitar teacher is better than most rock stars and he uses super tasty vintage gear... that's a cool party 😎 🥳
Aww shucks thanks Ben!
aw man I stayed for the whole video because of the cool guitar but then you quoted Mitch Hedberg. Definitely the type of dude to sub to!!
Mitch is hilarious! Great to wake up to these lessons! This one was good stuff. Have a great weekend!
Eric you make things aimed at upper level players clear for beginners, killer man I love your work.
Another great video! You’re one of the most informative guitar lesson channels online. Love it!
Every now and then I come back to this video - there's a ton of knowledge to extract from this...thanks so much!
Nice vid on Double Stopportunities. Its not Friday til you upload, my guy!
That phasery double stoppy thing makes me want to remind people how completely awesome Robbin Trower's "Sweet Wine of Love" is.
yes definitely and 'for eath below' remains an all time favourite of mine
Thanks for this I've been doing some 1 /5 double stops this just opened my eyes further. Applying it instantly and have immediately improved my playing. Thanks again.
I didn't expect the best double stop advice to be about the pick and the top note. Very helpful. I've been completely ignoring that.
Yeah! It’s those little things that make all the difference!
What's the timestamp for the top note?
Good old double stops, be hard to play without them. Another fine guitar lesson Eric. Thanks.
Seriously love your videos, Eric. Keep at it! Chill time.
you read my mind, happens to often and you explain things so well. Cheers!
That was clear enough for me, sir. Absolutely love it.
Good lord! The tones Eric gets here are fantastic!
Dude, Eric. I think this is the best lesson you've ever done (which means anyone ever done).
And yes please make videos where you just groove for an hour.
Careful what you wish for my friend.......
I don’t know why the algorithm took so long to point me your way, but I’m glad it did. Great lesson!
So evident once you lay it out there. I thought this was how they do it…. thank you for the reminder to slow down , get the groove and the right sound.
Loved the lesson, again! Your music theories videos, the always be riffing video, and all these that follow the same line are super awesome stuff! I'm really learning a lot from these, and I'm actually enjoying much more playing guitar after incorporating some of this stuff! Thanks for all these great videos, Eric!
YAY! THAT IS WHAT I LOVE TO HEAR!
"...actually enjoying much more..."
That's kinda my main thing - Guitar is my best friend, and I want it to be for everyone else too!
Hell yeah dude. It sounds sort of like you’re discovering rock and roll!
The man, the myth, the legend; Eric!
(the muppet)

Really awesome video Eric. Thx
Another great video. I’m still working through the tabs I bought for your change is gonna come, night they drove Dixie down and nothing compares lessons. I love these double stop lessons!
That's the Eric way. I am still working through tabs and lessons from 2-3 years ago. It's the gift that keeps giving.
They really are gold!
"Always be riffing bro" haha..classic, I want that t-shirt.
This actually helped me a lot, it's the first instructional video that actually taught me how to use double stomps kind of freely
Yay! That's what I love to hear!
Beautiful and helpful!
"Why is my hand shaking." Was timing the vibe.
awesome guy and awesome lesson as always
Great stuff, thanks for sharing ~
Amazing lesson - thanks
I'm so glad the algorithm sent me to your channel, highly entertaining and informative, thanks for what you do... I'll go eat pizza now and then hunt some double stoppies!
That is one CLEAN guitar, literally
Great stuff!
*gratitude for my dude*🙏
Great vid, thanks.
This video was very relaxing.
Thanks for sharing your stream of consciousness.
Love your videos. Have to say, I was in "will I or won't I?" land on the Retrovibe before I watched this video, and it moved me into "I will and I have" land. I now have one in the mail. Looking forward to some Hendrixian double stop jams when it arrives :-)
It really is a special pedal! I recommend putting it early in your chain, with overdrive and delay after it!
Forget about being "clear enough"......the whole purpose of your videos (also with Truefire) as I see it, is to abuse once again an overused but appropriate phrase, is to teach us to fish, to give us certain bones as a base and then just enough insight into the meat of the subject so that we can use that as a portal to expressing our own voice. As you correctly offered, much easier to learn a concept and then you can apply it in various situations with almost limitless variations (as long as you practice that) as opposed to simply learning a bunch of licks and scales (those are the start of the game, not the endgame). One can, as you point out, forget scales and positions, but if you apply concepts then it simply becomes part of your vocabulary and the words you create are your own. Thanks for what you do.
Thanks Eric 🤙
So snarky! But fun and great tutorials. Thanks
Great lesson
Nice vibe tone!
you're a TH-cam gem !
Always good to step inside of your head Eric.
"....come with me and you'll be
In a world of pure imagination...."
Hey another great video Eric, however there is something that I have been pining for in your videos....
I am waiting for the day when someone subverts all that you are doing and casually walks through your kitchen, opens the fridge door, pours themselves a nice cold beverage, and then leaves. No fuss no mess. That is all.
hahahahahaha I need to have a friend come over and do that!
Good vibes 😎
Thanks Eric. ABR bro!
bro I come for the lessons but you are so funny Eric man. Thank you Guitar Jah.
In college they called me "funny eric" :-)
Some people think I'm annoying - I can't help it! I've always been an impish little fucker!
Thanks for the video. I would love to take lessons from you someday.
Just stumbled upon this channel. This guy is cool. Great instruction.
Thanks man!
I try to keep it real, and also chiiiiiiiil :-)
I miss my farm sink. Great lesson as usual!
This is sort of stuff that's GREAT to have in your arsenal when some 60yo at guitar center asks you to play something
I used to play doble stops when soloing
I still do, but I used to too
Thanks for the lesson, and RIP Mitch Hedberg
"...I can't tell you what hotel I'm staying at, but there are 2 trees involved..."
Dude, you're the coolest dude on the internet. I wish I met you in real life instead of TH-cam.
Aww shucks man thanks!
Believe me - the dude you see on YT is the same guy I am in real life :-)
Excellent essentials
That Vox sounds awesome
great as usual - sorry for the missing comments i was out of the grid
Welcome back, my friend, to the ramble that never ends!
I really dig that opening tone !
I’m just starting to get into using and interface and a whole punch of plug ins. There seems to be an endless black hole of tones available (that latest one from Tim Henson and archetype is straight up smack) .
E could you please do a video going through some of your pedals and effects ? You have some really funky tones my guy
You'd be surprised how simple I keep it!
I always have either a phase 90 or univibe first in my chain, and then it hits the Augustus Octave Fuzz, Malekko Ekko 616 dark analog delay, and finally the Walrus Audio Monument Trem - that's it!
@@EricHaugenGuitar well I just added all those to my shopping list lol.
For the longest time I kept it extremely simple but thanks to covid lockdown here in Australia I’ve gone a little mad ....... now I think I have a serious problem / addiction. Do you have any pointers on how to get this back under control or am I just destined to stay on this treadmill perpetually chasing tone ?
+1 for the Jam pedals retrovibe, just got one recently and even having it on subtly just adds such a new dimension to the tone… contacted them direct and they were very helpful getting it sent over to Oz and heaps cheaper than buying from local music stores
Dude, you're my favourite
Thanks Butterflies Moonbeams and Zebras - honestly one of my favorite Hendrix lyrics!
The groove at the end was worth the price of admission, if there were any ads.
Thanks!
That's an old jam I found on my hard drive - me and my buddy Jared :-)
I used to like Mitch Hedberg. I still do, but I used to too. Really enjoyed the lesson. Gave us a lot to chew on. Great playing too.

...Doc, seems lately, I’ll be doing a little practicing (in my own amateur way) and the next video you put out it has some correlation to what I’m (stringing) together 🤔

Beautiful tone, reminds me robin trower's secret place!
Love Mitch Hedberg too! :-)

Love brother
In addition to compliments on your videos, I would like to add a critical note:
There is one word every teacher should know: Kiss! Which actually means: Keep It Simple Stupid. (Not insulting by the way!!) What I want to say is actually, don't deviate from your subject so often, your student doesn't always follow this, and for those parts where you want to make something clear, don't use effects that make it muddy and unclear to a student. Good luck with your follow-up lessons!
Your flowers look very happy, they like you playing🤙
Me TOO😎
I talk to them everyday!
Heads Up. There's a new album out which is a collaboration of Dean DeLeo and Tom Bukovac called Trip The Witch. Guitarists take note. Carry On Eric you are awesome!
Ooooooooooh NOOICE!
@@EricHaugenGuitar The crazy part is that the first track they released has vocals from YES's Jon Anderson. - Mind Blown -
Ah the strat. I am currently checking out Strat type guitars. Might finally get one. 14:20 Very tasty chords. Reminds me of something, but can't quite figure out what.
I'm a total sucker for any Am down to F (i --- bVII ---) progression!
Tom Waits "Clap Hands" (Bm --- G7 ---)
Fleetwood Mac "Rhiannon" (Am --- F ---)
Ciao bello! thanks!
Man! Do you read my mind? I was actually thinking that I have to get more familiar with double stops and start using them… creepy 😆
Been practicing this all week. I can do it with three fingers quite well (my pinky is totally screwed, fuhgettabatit). Great lesson!

My favourite Melbourne music store has the AC4 range on special :) Good deals on all the variations. I miss owning a Vox..
I bet you'd be an awesome band mate! Ever think about moving to Boston? Also, not enough guitar instructional videos talk about picking hand technique, so thank you for that. PS: Mitch Hedberg rules (RIP)
I used to live in Boston! Went to school at Berklee from '98-02'!
I love that city!
❤️
I'd watch it.
You're like the Bob Ross of guitar
My right hand technique is too flat and definitely too heavy, I think that years of grabbing my electric (unplugged) when I have a spare 10 minutes has made me hit it harder to get more volume. I must try to play more gently, might try some different/ more pointy picks,. Thanks for all the great lessons Eric
Yes! Dynamic picking hand control is key!
My favorite way to do double stops is to take my index and thumb and gently pop them and make them really staccato by muting them with my thumb.
nice
Really amazing guitar tone! How many watts is that ceramic blue dog?
It’s the 15w version :-)
Nice plants man
I talk to them & play for them, I think they like it!
@@EricHaugenGuitar I bet they do! Lol
"Leave all the effects on"
Now you're speaking my language!!
Two complaints so far. I knew that'd happen!
@@EricHaugenGuitar I've been looking around for a Malekko Ekko 616 Dark - very hard to find, even the regular ones have reached "unicorn" status.
I probably don't need one - got a Maxon AD9 Pro that does the "dark wash of analog delay" thing, but not as well as that Malekko. It's a magical little box.
@@mattgilbert7347 Oh yeah the Maxon stuff is killer too! Even as I type this my brain goes "...how about an old memory man, tho...."
@@EricHaugenGuitar
J. Rockett just released a Howard Davis designed recreation of the Deluxe Memory Man.
It looks and sounds the business. I really can't justify the purchase, already have a brighter analog delay (Way Huge) but it's new and pretty and shiny and makes magic sounds!
....the first step is admitting you have a problem. I admit nothing.
8:45 that was almost a disaster
I was looking for the “Flatties” “Boxes” you are talking about on Facebook but I couldn’t seem to find you on Facebook. Could you share a link??
I'm not on Facebook but I *think* Vox uploaded the vid to their facebook page, or maybe their TH-cam channel :-)
Intro….subscribed
Yay! Welcome to Uncle Eric's Helpful Ramble Station!
@@EricHaugenGuitar been playing since ‘94 and I’m desperate to learn something new!
Hey Eric , What is a plectrum ? Can I use a wooden tooth pick ? Or is that a placktrum ? I use a tooth pick on my guitar . Have you ever heard of that ? or tried a tooth pick ? I started on drums , I beat the strings ?
Nothing makes me stop watching like effects.
👏
This guy's funny. I like him.
Thanks duders!
I just got a strat style guitar and I've noticed that a lot of people leave the little plastic cover on the back off. I think it looks cooler, but I'm scared that I'm just gonna get something wedged up in there and ruin my guitar. am I just being paranoid?
Dude, haven't had the back plate on my strat for 40 years. Nothing got wedged in there I didn't mean to (ie a wood wedge to lock the trem). Its fine, honest.
You'll be fine! It makes string changes and spring adjustments much easier to leave it off.
The worst that could happen would be *maybe* something would catch the ground wire and disconnect it. In that case, you'd have to pay a tech $20 to re-solder it.
I hybrid pick all my double stops, pick and middle finger, should I learn to pick both too?
I mean probably, why wouldn't you lol?
Sure! It's always a good idea to try different picking approaches!
Hybrid picking them will give a nice snappy Knopfler-esque attack, while picking them you can be a little bit smoother/rakier.
