"The genius of Hendrix, well there's much genius, let's just learn stuff" You totally sold me on that one line. Consider me a subscriber. You caught yourself rambling, and then immediately went back to the hands on lesson. I love that.
I like what you said about really getting a small piece rather than half assing a whole solo. That approach had served me well, and send to help me accumulate the essence of certain players while stacking enough of them on top of each other over time to use them in my own way.
Yes! That is how we develop our own style - taking a little bit here, a little bit there. Really knowing it, and letting it simmer in a weirdo pot of soup with everything else! Then hopefully, when we start playing something original and unique to us comes out!
Love the way your lessons combine playing and theory in a really accessable way. You don't scare us with mountains of "lingo" but each lesson draws you in allowing us to do it at our own pace..I love spending a full day with my notebook and guitar really letting it sink in finally putting my notes into a file I have have full of lessons from all over TH-cam,the library and watching other players. You truly have a gift of education Eric and play a huge part in the life I know live free from drugs but overflowing with sound 🎶❤️🎶 Peace, love, joy and happiness to you and your family xx
I think I've said it on a previous video and I've also seen others say it, but I will say it again. You are the Bob Ross of guitar teachers. This lesson is phenomenal thank you
Thanks Chandler! I should totally make a t shirt that says Happy Little Pentatonics™! My wife runs a screenprinting business, so I could totally make that happen!
A lot of people play this stuff and offer some instructional content but few play with the level of feel and intention you have. I really appreciate your content and hope to contribute financially at some point very soon. Thanks! I've learned so much watching you.
Thanks Ryan! I really try to play so that every note is *nice* - even if I'm just explaining something. A concept I call A.B.R. playing: ALWAYS BE RIFFIN'
saw this months ago and was instantly amazed at the playing. i practiced just 1:07 - 1:14. for some reasonI was stuck there for months… then came back to hear the playing some more on a whim. Out of nowhere after not grasping the technique for soo long I was able to play through the whole thing with you up to .5 speed!!! amazing thank you Eric! 😁
Eric, those videos sound so good. Cant believe youre actually recording it on garageband! Not that the DAW could actually ruin the mix, but most people would go for logic or ableton. You just deliver it, man. Love the tips and the videos.
Thanks man! Yeah, there's definitely some tonal bottle-neck that occurs with GB, but I'm used to it by now! I've used GB since it first came out, so my workflow is really really fast - one day, I'll drag myself to upgrade to Logic, but I'm waiting to be forced to do so. I'm one of those people who refuses to upgrade his phone or operating system until I absolutely have to!
Really good lesson. You’ve narrowed it down to the essence of what everybody finds so frickn appealing about this style I.e. the twists, turns, doublebacks that provide some hip rhythms and ways to lengthen the lines. Thank you.
Twists, turns, and doublebacks! I love that term! I've never heard it before but now I'm gonna use it all the time - it perfectly describes the unpredictability of his descending lines!
Thank you for this lesson. Working on this lick really helped my technique (especially the index finger on my fretting hand) and elevated my playing substantially. I appreciate the lesson!
as a begintermediate guitarist your lessons are so damn good man. I've been learning a lot. Can I do any of the stuff I see? Barely but your style of teaching really makes me want to succeed.
Finally starting to make rpogress with videos like this. This is a fun one and really appreciate you reviewing the pentatonic scales you pass as you go by.
@@EricHaugenGuitar haha, right back at ya! Would be v happy to feature your playing on my channel! Could have you do a special guest intro on a Blues jam f. ex.. Just did a few with RJ Ronquillo
RJ = beast! It'd be my pleasure and an honor to be featured on your channel, man! hit me up at my email: ericonthree@gmail.com and we can work out the deets 🍻
This ....This is probably the best channel teaching legit licks I've yet seen. I have been doing my own thing as to not sound like anyone. Other than gilmour which I suppose I cannot help PInk Floyd is my 40 years never gets old band. Heheh.
Yes! Sounding like yourself is the most important thing! For me, it's all about combing a little of this, a little of that, and just letting them simmer in the pot. Then, when it's time to write/play, I just let things happen and hope it's original :-)
Thank you for everything you're putting out there. I'm a much more confident guitar player thanks to nerding out with you over my favorite tunes and styles. By the way, where's my 1972/73 era Paul Simon lesson?? Regardless, my playing style is now hopelessly entrenched in some strange Ribot/Hendrix/Neil Young/Dave Rawlings nexus, and I couldn't be happier about it. Thanks for putting in the analytic work so that the rest of us can just sit back and take it in. It is VERY appreciated.
Oh yeah I gotta get on that solo Simon stuff! It always makes me happy to hear how much my research is helping people get more out of their life in music. I'm currently on a Knopfler & Summers jag - so you're gonna see some investigations into their styles next. Hrrmmmmm...maybe I could do a "Knopfler plays Paul Simon" thing....
Dude thanks so much! I try to be a straight-shooter, patient, and empathetic - I would totally be a therapist if I didn't happen to be good at playing and teaching guitar :-)
U are a therapist as well sir. U ease minds and souls on the daily. Your better then just good bother. That Hendrix lick is absolutely disgusting.... one of my favs he does !!!
Thanks Eric great video . Hendrix is beyond words . As a guitar player its just how is that possible really , I can’t imagine what it would be like if that cat was still around now.
Exactly! The whole moral of this lesson: "Why do we wanna just be like: Scoobidy-doobidy-doo, when we can be like: Bededeh-bededeh-bew?" Couldn't have said it better myself!
Yeah! It's a masterpiece for sure! And this lesson only dissects one tiny piece of it - you can focus on just about any 3 seconds of Hendrix and find so much brilliance!
Hey Eric, I was drawn to your channel by your Rawlings/Welch content but I enjoy many other things you present as well including this one! Great lesson!
We must both have great tastes! Get ready for some Marc Knopfler and Andy Summers next on my channel - I'm totally on an early 80s new wave kick right now.
Thanks! The main thing I learned at Berklee - and I learned it quick - was exactly where I stood when put in a place with 3000 other great guitar players! It made me focus really hard on being myself - what makes me stand out. For me, it became minimalism, simplicity, and efficiency.
The rythm of this lick or these licks is crucial when combining together. It's definitely got a "swing" to it. That's a whole other lesson though. Great job, playing and tone... Thanks!
Oh yeah, Hendrix was so loose with his time! This one is pretty rapid-fire, but there's so many cases (Red House), where his movements are totally unpredictable! Total Charlie Parker of psyche blues
I love your channel and grin as I see that subscriber # growing! Thanks so much... I hope the universe delivers you all the good karma you deserve for all you give to us with these lessons and concepts!
7:30 - 7:33 this is the quality content I signed up for. Impressive vocal improvisation. Great video man, I always love your Hendrix lessons. Thanks a lot!
I wonder whether I'm the only female following these lessons? Hendrix was the big moment in my life, ( after the Beatles of course ) I was there for his first tv appearance , Hey Joe, and fell in love with the Stratocaster for the second time after Hank B Marvin and Apache. haha I'm 70, English, and still diligently trying to improve my playing.
Love your channel Eric, you’ve helped my progression incredibly ! Amazing how you make that mustang so versatile ... Hendrix, iommi, blondie, petty etc. All the best for the new year. UK.
Thanks Glenn! I remember competing in Guitar Center's "Battle of the Blues" competition like 10 years ago. One of the judges was Bonnie Raitt's guitarist, Will Macfarlane. He saw me go up with my trusty mustang and sorta squinted his eyes at me as if to say, "...are you sure you're in the right place, kid?" I did my thing, and he came up to me afterwards and said: "Man, I didn't think a mustang could sound that GOOD!" I ended up getting 2nd place - my buddy Hugh put the guitar behind his head, so he won :-)
Thanks Phil! There's so many brilliant licks throughout Hendrix's catalog - it's a really fun exercise to focus on just one at a time and really see what we can do with it :-)
Thanks man! There's so many moments of Hendrix that merit months of work for us mortals - I like to take his 2 second flurries of genius, and really spend some time with them 🙌
Nice my man. As fellow Hendrix fan whose never even heard this lick. And I've heard alot. If I have, I can't remember or identify it. This is an awesome song. And I greet job mimicking the genius. Let alone hitting those notes with such precision. I'm trying to start a band or begin a music career, of some sort. You, my man have an open invitation. Your brilliant. Now a subscriber on both of my channels. Keep up the good work. Look forward to this learning material you're providing. We can be rock stars, you know. Guaranteed, almost. Together that is. 😆
Thanks man! For me, it's all about taking an already brilliant guitarist's brilliant idea, and seeing what I can do with it - if I scratch my head and think about using it in other situations 🤔
Eric Haugen totally agree. And it’s all how you use it personally. I’ve been playing and gigging almost my whole life but always learn something new watching ur videos. Even if it’s just a little lick that it’s in my subconscious now, that I’ll blurt our on stage and be like “ha got that one from Eric”. Keep up the good work!
Hrmmm I'm no blues expert but I'd definitely recommend learning: Baby Please Don't Go Boom Boom See See Rider Roadhouse Blues Born Under A Bad Sign Do a youtube search for lessons on those and then follow whichever dude you like!
Learning it in the two lower octaves has (I think) helped me to not just learn the lick, but be able to recall it. Instead of, "ah cool lick" now on to the next one, and then it's lost in the ocean of blues licks. This could be a very useful tool in my proverbial nail bag of lick honing ... uh, tools.... sorry that metaphor crashed upon takeoff.
as a side note, for me playing the second lick seems a lot easier one penta position lower, as it gives you the flat 5 in it's little sweet spot (3 chromatic) on the D string.
Very cool - thank you! I like the end of your advice above, about taking one small piece and understanding it really well. That's a very helpful thought. Season's greetings!
Yes! Exactly - it's so much more useful to really understand the cool things we really like. That way, we can adapt them to our own purposes later on! Happy Holidays and New Year xoxb2!
to imagine Hendrix was only 27 when he passed away. Imagine if Hendrix had lived a full life, it would have been amazing to see how he would have developed later on.
I think about that all the time! That's why you may see me do all my "Hendrix Doublestops on ......." vids - it's a fun way to imagine what he would be doing now :-)
@@guardianobserver6593 People get more conservative in their personal choices as they get older. If he would have made it to 40, probably would have been in the clear. Although, he would have had to live through the freebasing era and that was a dangerous time for musicians, look at what it did to Crosby.
Basically, if he made it to 84 he would be alright. Could you imagine a supergroup with Hendrix, Arthur Lee, and Sly Stone? Or how about Hendrix joins Parliament Funkadelic in 1977.
Look into some of the more recently released findings of his autopsy. Died of drowning in red wine (abducted and murdered). One theory is that he was becoming too influential and he had the money to fund the Black Panthers with whom he was involved. Some people just wouldn't have that. We've been told a lie for too long.
Yeah! It's all about taking one little idea and seeing how you can apply it to new locations/contexts! So much more useful than just memorizing a hot lick :-)
Thanks my fellow Eric! The cool thing is - you can still find Vintage Mustangs for not too much money! They don't have the crazy high price tag that other old Fenders do.
🎉Seasons greetings Eric🌬 And thanks for another year of 😊fun & stretching~ both my mind & fingers (the key 2 🎸🎶 I tell those/others who ask me; how it works or what they should be doing). So keep stretching & smiling and have a great 2020 my musical friend✌
This is an EXCELLENT lesson. Thank you! The next level of very helpful info would your short-hand of the rhythm of the licks: where the one is, which notes are held twice as long, is it a triplet, etc. I have a bit of a problem rhythmically figuring out the timing of the repeating part even though my hands and head fully wrapped around the notes. Anyway, I just thought I'd give my constructive criticism! Thank you again!
Ooh that's a good idea for a lesson: Different rhythmic subdivisions within runs! In this example, it's mostly 16th notes, the last 2 notes of each grouping are 8ths :-)
Eric your lessons are great but I have a request. Could you play showing also the movement of the pick and right hand to the camera (so changing the camera angle)? It would be very helpful, Thanks
Excellent feedback Davide! It's true - it's hard to see my pick attack from this camera angle - I'll have to think more about placement for future vids!
@@EricHaugenGuitar can you do I video doing different licks/tips/ideas in each box? I know em all but I'm pretty much a beginner so all I do is typical Double stops/sliding to the next box.
Yeah! It's always tempting to work on something for 5 minutes, kinda get it, and be like: .."what's next?" I try to take every lick I know through major and minor keys, open position, and all 5 CAGED structures - then I can be pretty sure I really got it!
Eric, I recently found your channel. Your guitar skills and your passion for playing are fantastic! I will learn a lot from you, and I will visit your patron page. Thanks for your videos, please keep them coming! Continuing...
Thanks Eric! This one will immediately join your last two "warm up" licks. They really are great for warming up, and there's larnin' going on, too! On a separate topic, wondering if you've seen the latest Strymon pedal - the Iridium. I've been confounded as to what type of amp to get (Fender-ish vs. Vox-ish, etc.) This pedal seems to turn your clean amp into whatever you want it to be, without any fuss. Would love to hear your take on it sometime.
Koho - the Iridium isn't meant to be played through your amp. It's meant to replace it - for direct recording via interface, to go direct to a P.A., or to use with headphones. It looks really cool and is on my get list.
@@davidewing55 Actually, from what I've read on many sites, it's just as much for use with an amp (or yes, headphones), idea being you don't need to keep multiple heavy amps around to get the sounds you want. All of the online reviews I've seen are playing through a clean amp. Rhett Shull does a nice one, and he actually notes that Iridium is not optimized for recording, compared to other modelers (HX Stomp) - there's in fact no computer-friendly line out, only the usual jack and headphones out. Anyway, that's why I'm interested in it. Eric has always steered me right, so would love his take on it.
Yeah I've had my eye on that pedal too! I am indeed very curious about how the amp models sound into a clean amp - would be very convenient to be able to switch between the big three sounds with a toggle.
That is the PERFECT vibe tone! I own the MXR univibe, the Bear Foot Mint Green minivibe (slow), the TC Electronics Viscous Vibe, and the Drybell Vibe Machine. They all are a bit too harsh. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get them to be as soft as the tone you're using. The Bear Foot was the closest, but it allows too much noise to get through when it's engaged. So, I bought the Blackout Effectors "Sibling" analog phaser. It's the "little brother" to the Whetstone phaser (which I also own, but switched out for the MXR phase 90). The Sibling has a Uni vibe setting which is the best vibe pedal I own. lol. I bought the Jam Pedals wah wah and the Jam Pedals Univibe, but the vibe pedal didn't work! I sent it back for a refund. The only way I can get that soft vibe sound that you have, is with the Sibling phaser. All the other units are back in their boxes in my closet.
I run my retrovibe first, into the Greer Lightspeed - that's a killer combo! I totally agree - good vibe sounds are strangely tricky to get! Running into the normal channel of the AC15, with that Mojotone speaker (voiced like a Celestion Greenback), really ups the creaminess - I think American voiced speakers are a bit brighter. I love them, but for some pedals (fuzz and vibe), they can be a harsh on the top end.
"Finger dancing" - Actually on point to how I view playing/learning the guitar. I need to expand beyond that - but that's how I've "noodled" with the pentatonic.
"The genius of Hendrix, well there's much genius, let's just learn stuff" You totally sold me on that one line. Consider me a subscriber. You caught yourself rambling, and then immediately went back to the hands on lesson. I love that.
Thanks Paul!
I try to keep things as efficient as possible! I save my lengthy expositions for the end of my vids :-)

Haugen, you're the man. Great video as always.
Thanks Lorcan!
You know me - just tryin' to make smart lessons that look nice and sound good :-)
@@EricHaugenGuitar sound great dude
Why can't I like this 100 times? Thanks!
It's the thought that counts - thanks Rob!
The neeto behind one. 😂. Pearls of wisdom Thanks Happy new year! Aloha
Yes! The sneaky shapes built behind the pinky - they're one of we guitarists' greatest weaknesses!
Great lesson sir.. love and respect from India ❤🙏
Thanks Sayantan!
Stay healthy over there!
This a real nice lesson. Thank you!
This channel is fantastic, thanks for the great content Eric !!!!!!!!
Thanks Paul!
love the lick. I'll spend some time on it before trying to wrap my brain around playing it in other octaves... although Id love to get there.
Yeah! Really take your time with it - it’ll be worth it once it’s absorbed into hands!
Amazing tone
Thanks!
Nice my man. As fellow Hendrix fan whose never even heard this lick. And I've heard alot. If I have, I can't remember or identify it. This is an awesome song. And I greet job mimicking the genius. Let alone hitting those notes with such precision. I'm trying to start a band or begin a music career, of some sort. You, my man have an open invitation. Your brilliant. Now a subscriber on both of my channels. Keep up the good work. Look forward to this learning material you're providing. We can be rock stars, you know. Guaranteed, almost. Together that is. 😆
Thanks Alex!
@@EricHaugenGuitar now I see it being called "watchtower". As in the Bob Dylan cover? Is this the solo???
@@EricHaugenGuitar you're welcome.
0.75 speed sounds like Eric teaching guitar after coming home from the pub😅 Thanks for another great lesson mate.
Great... now I gotta get me a vibe. Sweet toney goodness.
Yes do it!
I love my Jampedals retrovibe - it's got the chewiest midrange I've ever heard!
"Hendrix didn't do that, Eric did that" hahaha. Great video as always
Thanks man!
For me, it's all about taking an already brilliant guitarist's brilliant idea, and seeing what I can do with it - if I scratch my head and think about using it in other situations 🤔
Eric Haugen totally agree. And it’s all how you use it personally. I’ve been playing and gigging almost my whole life but always learn something new watching ur videos. Even if it’s just a little lick that it’s in my subconscious now, that I’ll blurt our on stage and be like “ha got that one from Eric”. Keep up the good work!
@@m2bamm766 That makes me so happy to hear!!
I'm so glad I found this channel... where should a beginner only interested in blues start?
Hrmmm I'm no blues expert but I'd definitely recommend learning:
Baby Please Don't Go
Boom Boom
See See Rider
Roadhouse Blues
Born Under A Bad Sign
Do a youtube search for lessons on those and then follow whichever dude you like!
Learning it in the two lower octaves has (I think) helped me to not just learn the lick, but be able to recall it. Instead of, "ah cool lick" now on to the next one, and then it's lost in the ocean of blues licks. This could be a very useful tool in my proverbial nail bag of lick honing ... uh, tools.... sorry that metaphor crashed upon takeoff.
as a side note, for me playing the second lick seems a lot easier one penta position lower, as it gives you the flat 5 in it's little sweet spot (3 chromatic) on the D string.
Yeah that's a good spot too!
Very cool - thank you! I like the end of your advice above, about taking one small piece and understanding it really well. That's a very helpful thought.
Season's greetings!
Yes! Exactly - it's so much more useful to really understand the cool things we really like. That way, we can adapt them to our own purposes later on!
Happy Holidays and New Year xoxb2!
Love your videos! (And your guitars!). Thanks so much for doing these.
to imagine Hendrix was only 27 when he passed away. Imagine if Hendrix had lived a full life, it would have been amazing to see how he would have developed later on.
I think about that all the time!
That's why you may see me do all my "Hendrix Doublestops on ......." vids - it's a fun way to imagine what he would be doing now :-)
@ThumperOne
Exactly!
@@guardianobserver6593 People get more conservative in their personal choices as they get older. If he would have made it to 40, probably would have been in the clear. Although, he would have had to live through the freebasing era and that was a dangerous time for musicians, look at what it did to Crosby.
Basically, if he made it to 84 he would be alright. Could you imagine a supergroup with Hendrix, Arthur Lee, and Sly Stone? Or how about Hendrix joins Parliament Funkadelic in 1977.
Look into some of the more recently released findings of his autopsy. Died of drowning in red wine (abducted and murdered). One theory is that he was becoming too influential and he had the money to fund the Black Panthers with whom he was involved. Some people just wouldn't have that. We've been told a lie for too long.
Tone is perfect as always!
Thanks man!
I'm loving the vibe + vox + mojotone setup - so creamy!
Inspirational!! Thanks man! Thinking out of the box!! Nice!!
Yeah!
It's all about taking one little idea and seeing how you can apply it to new locations/contexts! So much more useful than just memorizing a hot lick :-)
@@EricHaugenGuitar exactly! Really appreciate this content and looking forward to giving it a go myself :)
excellent lesson, thank you.
Thanks Bryan!
I love taking tiny little pieces of greatness, and working with them for a while to see what else they can do!
i want that guitar!!! What a great sound.
Thanks my fellow Eric!
The cool thing is - you can still find Vintage Mustangs for not too much money! They don't have the crazy high price tag that other old Fenders do.
Thank you Brother! Made me laugh out loud! I don't play electric, but will chase this on my acoustic! Thanks again.......saved to my bookmarks bar!
Thanks Gary!
Yeah - this run translates to open position CAGED chords really well!
🎉Seasons greetings Eric🌬
And thanks for another year of 😊fun & stretching~ both my mind & fingers (the key 2 🎸🎶 I tell those/others who ask me; how it works or what they should be doing).
So keep stretching & smiling and have a great 2020 my musical friend✌
Thanks so much!
Many cheers to you and yours as well!
Great lesson Eric!
Thanks Pete!
Great stuff man, gonna learn this
Oh yeah it's a great maneuver - so unpredictable and snakey!
This was great! Opened up something new for me. Thank you, and sweat tone by the way.
Thanks Mikki!
Yeah - the way Hendrix could move through the blues is something very special!
Great lesson that was well taught. Thanks!!
It's my pleasure Jason!
These are some good spicy runs to work on!
That guitar is SICK
Phenomenal player. I’ve subscribed and will be like a sponge, I hope. Soaking it all in! Thx!
Thanks Scott!
Welcome to my chill and informative guitar hang zone!
This is an EXCELLENT lesson. Thank you!
The next level of very helpful info would your short-hand of the rhythm of the licks: where the one is, which notes are held twice as long, is it a triplet, etc.
I have a bit of a problem rhythmically figuring out the timing of the repeating part even though my hands and head fully wrapped around the notes. Anyway, I just thought I'd give my constructive criticism! Thank you again!
Ooh that's a good idea for a lesson: Different rhythmic subdivisions within runs!
In this example, it's mostly 16th notes, the last 2 notes of each grouping are 8ths :-)
Nice work mán!!
Thanks Sean!
excellent advice and nice pickin.
Thanks Greg!
Next - I may do a major pentatonic version of this lick! It's pretty cool that way too - ends up sounding like Skynryd :-)
Great lesson, Eric, one more time. Thanx
It's my pleasure Alexis!
You know I love this stuff - taking apart my heroes, piece by piece.
Hell yes, just what I needed, thank you!
It's my pleasure, man!
Working on this one a little bit everyday will really open things up!
Hey , Happy Holidays brother!
Thanks again for everything.
Happy New Year!
PEACE 💀👽🎸🎶🎵
Thanks Brian!
Many cheers to you and yours as well!
Eric your lessons are great but I have a request. Could you play showing also the movement of the pick and right hand to the camera (so changing the camera angle)? It would be very helpful, Thanks
Excellent feedback Davide!
It's true - it's hard to see my pick attack from this camera angle - I'll have to think more about placement for future vids!
5:26 "there's some good stuff in this one"
Me: 😯 *replays in slow motion*
Yeah! That "box behind the usual box" has some killer moves hidden in it!
You'll Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top use it, as well as George Harrison.
@@EricHaugenGuitar can you do I video doing different licks/tips/ideas in each box? I know em all but I'm pretty much a beginner so all I do is typical Double stops/sliding to the next box.
Exactly. Squeeze as much juice as you can from licks like that.
Yeah!
It's always tempting to work on something for 5 minutes, kinda get it, and be like: .."what's next?"
I try to take every lick I know through major and minor keys, open position, and all 5 CAGED structures - then I can be pretty sure I really got it!
Great vid man, cool licks. Subbed bro 🤘
Thanks Johnny!
Welcome to my chill and informative guitar hang zone!
@@EricHaugenGuitar glad to be on board bro 😎🤘
Eric, I recently found your channel. Your guitar skills and your passion for playing are fantastic! I will learn a lot from you, and I will visit your patron page. Thanks for your videos, please keep them coming! Continuing...
Thanks Mike!
Thanks Eric! This one will immediately join your last two "warm up" licks. They really are great for warming up, and there's larnin' going on, too! On a separate topic, wondering if you've seen the latest Strymon pedal - the Iridium. I've been confounded as to what type of amp to get (Fender-ish vs. Vox-ish, etc.) This pedal seems to turn your clean amp into whatever you want it to be, without any fuss. Would love to hear your take on it sometime.
Koho - the Iridium isn't meant to be played through your amp. It's meant to replace it - for direct recording via interface, to go direct to a P.A., or to use with headphones. It looks really cool and is on my get list.
@@davidewing55 Actually, from what I've read on many sites, it's just as much for use with an amp (or yes, headphones), idea being you don't need to keep multiple heavy amps around to get the sounds you want. All of the online reviews I've seen are playing through a clean amp. Rhett Shull does a nice one, and he actually notes that Iridium is not optimized for recording, compared to other modelers (HX Stomp) - there's in fact no computer-friendly line out, only the usual jack and headphones out. Anyway, that's why I'm interested in it. Eric has always steered me right, so would love his take on it.
Yeah I've had my eye on that pedal too! I am indeed very curious about how the amp models sound into a clean amp - would be very convenient to be able to switch between the big three sounds with a toggle.
Love that git! Great vids man. Just subscribed :)
Yay! Welcome to Uncle Eric's Ramble Station!
Your Guitar is fabulous
Thanks!
It's my trusty '66 mustang - I've had it since high school in the 90s!
I love it don't leave it down anywhere 😀😺
I subscribed man nice work
@@davedarkify Yay! Welcome to my chill and informative guitar hangzone!
Thanks for posting this... I suck at solo's, but I'm trying. BTW, i love your guitar man. That is beautiful!
Thanks man!
Remember, slow and steady wins the race! In this clip, I play the lick pretty darn fast, but it actually sounds meaner/cooler slowed down!
The Vox sounds killer!
Thanks Kyle!
I'm loving it!
That, plus the Mojotone cab gives some new tonal options - those fat, creamy mids!
this video is great fun, thanks
Thanks Blair!
I love taking tiny little pieces of my heroes' playing, and stretching them out in all sorts of directions :-)
Similar lick in the Santeria solo, might try something similar
That dude is a seriously underrated player!
Very cool , thanks 👍🎸
It's my pleasure, Daniel!
That is the PERFECT vibe tone!
I own the MXR univibe, the Bear Foot Mint Green minivibe (slow), the TC Electronics Viscous Vibe, and the Drybell Vibe Machine.
They all are a bit too harsh.
No matter what I tried, I couldn't get them to be as soft as the tone you're using.
The Bear Foot was the closest, but it allows too much noise to get through when it's engaged.
So, I bought the Blackout Effectors "Sibling" analog phaser. It's the "little brother" to the Whetstone phaser (which I also own, but switched out for the MXR phase 90).
The Sibling has a Uni vibe setting which is the best vibe pedal I own. lol.
I bought the Jam Pedals wah wah and the Jam Pedals Univibe, but the vibe pedal didn't work!
I sent it back for a refund.
The only way I can get that soft vibe sound that you have, is with the Sibling phaser.
All the other units are back in their boxes in my closet.
I run my retrovibe first, into the Greer Lightspeed - that's a killer combo!
I totally agree - good vibe sounds are strangely tricky to get!
Running into the normal channel of the AC15, with that Mojotone speaker (voiced like a Celestion Greenback), really ups the creaminess - I think American voiced speakers are a bit brighter. I love them, but for some pedals (fuzz and vibe), they can be a harsh on the top end.
Great video, great sound and great feeling ! Now, I just have to work...
Thanks François!
Remember, go very very slow - really make sure that every piece is exactly where you want it!
Eric Haugen yes ! 👍
Your mustang is sooooo cool
Thanks Daniele!
It's a '66 - I've had it since high school back in the 90s!
@@EricHaugenGuitar lucky man
"Finger dancing" - Actually on point to how I view playing/learning the guitar. I need to expand beyond that - but that's how I've "noodled" with the pentatonic.
