    Thank you, I’m so sick of being shamed by UA-cam teachers for wanting to maximize basic chords.I have no desire to show off, learn things I can never actually use, or am deluded in thinking I’ll be famous one day. Just want to be tasteful.

      its really good to be honest with oneself and know what kind of player you want to be and what you need to learn and what you don't...toss the rest and enjoy. It years for me to realise that soloing isnt very important to me...and Whilst I can and have a modicum of neck knowledge, rankly just want to play songs...and I gravitate to the Rhythm guitar parts I like and the guitarist who play them. It is very helpful though to have at least some neck knowledge...the more you have the less you get stuck...and it opens up the door to play with others...playing with other musicians is where you really improve...that's where you really build your chops....god luck and enjoy!!!

    How serendipitous! I was watching a video of Molly Tuttle on crosspicking yesterday, and then this morning a video of her and Tommy Emmanuel discussing (among other things) how to not get into each other's sonic space when playing with someone else. Your video brushes on some these topics, but at a level that's accessible to me. Thanks Eric!

    Thankful to Eric for allowing me (us?) to quit trying to blend major and minor scales, especially in the open position. I have found this often recommended practice to be confusing and I like the freedom to stick with the key I'm in...this is a great lesson, and I thank Eric for providing the tabs making practice much easier. As you all know, Eric is the go-to teacher for those of us who aspire to Dave Rawlinsdom; all I've done so far is buy the cowboy hat.

    Dude, your lessons plug so many holes in the levees of my musical comprehension. Sure, I've been playing the Flatt run in G and C for years but I never applied a little discipline to learning it for other open chords. Likewise, it hadn't occurred to me that the flat 3rd is an approach note that can go to the 3rd or the 2nd. Good stuff!

    I've always been very afraid of playing lead guitar, Not necessarily because of the exercise, But I see a lot of players these days who like to play really fast and show off all the time that it's always intimidated me. I think I have now found the perfect video for me to not get away from my strong rhythm playing, But to add a little flavor to it without coming off as too egotistic.

    Hello, thank you for your videos, question, As your shifting chords and locating pentatonics, is there a method to what pattern your using or is the pattern a preference? Example, a lot of people favor using a G pattern to run through a scale in a particular key. I get confused on how to choose the appropriate pattern for the root note. Thanks in advance.

    • @EricHaugenGuitar
      @EricHaugenGuitar  2 місяці тому +1
