    One of the most beautiful chord progressions of all time. And Rawlings' accompaniment is just something else. Thanks for breaking it down Eric.

    Phenomenal lesson with the tab - thanks so much Eric - almost there and learning loads.! With my lack of music theory, "Slidiness", "Twinkly bits" and "triangles" are musical concepts I can really work with! Awesome.

      I remember when asked about what scales he likes to use in an interview Dave said: ".....I dunno....there's like a D area, and then an Am area.....I guess..."

    This is so hugely complex I am amazed someone could figure it out like this. Awesome! Beautiful song.

    • @EricHaugenGuitar
      @EricHaugenGuitar  3 роки тому +2

      Dave's floating, haunting style makes sense to me - I can't figure out everything he does, but I can get like 60% and that's plenty for me!

    • @TheSwampPicker

      @@EricHaugenGuitar 60% is about 59% more than I would have figured out without this video! I just discovered David Rawlings recently, which is what lead me to searching and finding this guitar video. From listening to it I had no idea how he does it. Now this video and your tab for the video is showing that it isn't that hugely hard to play. It's the way he puts notes together is magical. I am sure there is some logic to it but I am still working on trying to understand that. If you want a suggestion for a follow up video it could be more about the theory behind what he does. What is the scale and whether he changes the scale as the cords change, and the use of seconds (realize my music theory knowledge is.. er, intermediate, so I am having some trouble following). You touch on the theory in your Revelator Solo 1 video but it could easily be a whole video with hints about how he creates his magic.

    Beautifully played, and taught. There is something recognizable about Rawlings' phrasing and timing that just elevates everything he touches. I can't describe it, but I know it when I hear it.
    Thanks for this! I will be spending some fun hours on it.

    Treating myself tonight to listening to all of your David Rawlings vids (again.) Great job bro, really! Great ear, great playing, and great tones, but I have to say you really capture the essence of his playing. That's most impressive to me.
    All the best to you Eric!

    • @EricHaugenGuitar
      @EricHaugenGuitar  5 років тому +3

      Thanks so much Izzy!
      Dave's one of the players who I share some kind of elemental connection to. Maybe it's the Neil Young thing, or a bit of Johnny Marr, or the ragged-ness. But there's something in Dave's playing that makes sense to me.
      BTW - I'm working on "Scarlet Town" right now - stay tuned for that one!

  • @goodstain
    @goodstain 4 роки тому +1

    This is beautiful! I just bought the sheet music.
    Do the backtrack and solo start at the same time in the beginning of the song? It seems like it does in the video, but in the sheet music, it seems like the solo comes in after a few measures? Struggling with the timing.

    • @EricHaugenGuitar
      @EricHaugenGuitar  4 роки тому

      Hi Hannah!
      That IS weird timing with the intro - I just listened again and it sounds like there's a ghost count in that's sorta audible, but the real count in is much louder.
      If you drop in with the pickup notes on beat 3 of the real count in, that'll line up perfect!
      "Clunk Clunk - Rawlings lick " - that's my recommendation :-)

    • @EricHaugenGuitar
      @EricHaugenGuitar  7 років тому +1

      I'm putting a video together with an overview of his style but until then, here's some things to think about:
      1. crosspick/arpeggiate more - he almost never just strums a chord
      2. Capo freely - he'll always find a place to put the capo to key himself in G
      3. use open strings - even when they sound sorta "wrong"

    They figured it out,
    That we're gonna do it anyway,
    Even if doesn't pay.
    I can get a tip jar,
    Gas up the car,
    And try to make a little change
    Down at the bar.

    I've done it before.
