@@EricHaugenGuitar. There's a great interview on some podcast Music Makers and Shakers. He's hilarious and down to earth. His los Cubanos Postizos has become a favorite. I was fifteen when Rain Dogs came out and then Franks Wild Years. While most kids were learning Panama and Eruption I was trying to play licks from Hang on St. Christopher. Anyway, your lessons on tone are really helpful as I've been out gigging! Where are you located? Best S
Yeah, so much of guitar is still stuck in the 80s shred mode. There's so much else to play than scales - emotions, scenes, ideas, etc. I'm from NJ, but live down in NC these days.
Can't thank you enough for transcribing Ribot's classic work with Tom and creating such excellent lessons. Your tone is to die for, by the way. I work almost as hard on nailing your tone as I do learning the actual tune. I find that setting my HOF to LoFi really seems to help. Keep'em comin' !
I really appreciate the way you teach , with a combination of big picture theory and actual note for note riffs. So you wind up teaching us what to play, and how to think about it. Kudos!
Thanks so much Drew! My best friend is an older ex-hippie Jazz drummer. We were talking about teaching and he said: ....”man, you can either learn songs, or you can learn the INSTRUMENT…” I always keep that in mind with my lessons - I try to do both, with emphasis on the latter 😎
Hey Eric, im learning to use triads arpeggios and chords in my playing, so seeing some practical examples like this has been very useful! thanks for the good video!
Thanks for working this solo out, Eric! It's the first thing I played when I got my Teisco back from the luthier. Posted a video of it on my channel just for fun.
Aww shucks thanks man! This solo is one of my all time faves - it changed my brain when I first heard it! It’s what made me curious about jazz - I had to figure out where those tones were coming from!
@@EricHaugenGuitar Hi Eric: Can you please do a lesson on Drunk on the Moon. I can do the basic song, but have no idea as to what’s happening during the jazzy instrumental interlude. Thank you.
After many years not playing, I bought a guitar and made this outstanding transcription my learning goal. The repeated sections are very helpful but the transition to top speed is a lot more challenging for my clumsy fingers. I wish there was a half speed version, just to get the feel of it. Anyway, thanks for getting me playing(slowly) again.
It's my pleasure Steve! Btw - depending on what device you're watching on, UA-cam lets you slow the speed down. On my desktop, there's a little gear icon on the lower right portion on the vid where you can adjust the playback speed. Good Luck!
First of all, Eric, you're doing God's work showing your techniques. I really like your approach and tone at the guitar. I just learned this song's solo by ear note by note quite accurately, but realised I have quite a hard time keeping a precise tempo while playing staccato. Do you have any tip about that besides practicing with a metronome? Maybe a specific exercise? Thanks a lot
Good question! My main advice would be slow and steady wins the race. As guitar players, we always want to see how fast we can do things (I do it to), and that causes us to rush through things. Pull that tempo waaaaaay back, and really lean into each note :-)
@@EricHaugenGuitar I think that's what I've really taken on board from studying his style, he injects so much jazziness into his blues playing by basing it around chord forms, like a jazz musician would. Whereas in the past I've been tempted just to noodle around in minor pentatonics! This way is so much more musical and structured.
Eric could you do a lesson on Marc Ribot’s version of happiness is a warm gun? I really love Marc’s take on it. I’ve learned a lot from your channel as well so thank you keep up the great content.
Eric, is there any theoretical explanation for why the F9 chord moving up the neck works? It literally starts with a major third playing over a minor third harmony and then from just slides up chromatically. Does it just show that total madness works if you play it with confidence?
+Timo Peltonen Thanks Timo! I have that Mustang wired up with both pickups controlled by the neck position slide switch - makes it way easier to change settings mid-song. The other slide switch does nothing. If I remember correctly, I was using the bridge pickup only, running into an Ibanez Ts 808 Reissue, Boss Dm 2 Analog Delay, Hall of Fame Reverb, and then into my Tweed Pro Clone with a Weber 15A150 speaker. Thanks for watching!
This video singlehandedly made me start playing guitar again after 5 years... thanks so much for putting this out! Ever considered doing Ribot's Hoist That Rag from the album Real Gone? Or Chostero Plena by Marc Ribot y Los Cubanos Postizos?
Man, Eric, I finally took the time to get this down. Took about an hour, and then a day to get it smooth. I just can't for the life of me figure out the inversion of the last F chord you play when you do the opening playthrough. Sorry, i feel kinda stupid. But i've worked so hard on this solo I figured I'd get this answer for free lol. While I have you, I've been recommending you as a teach to people near you in Raleigh, not sure if you want new students, but let me know if I should be doing that. But also, after recommending you, I'm kind of mad that I'm not taking classes from you. Hour lessons wouldn't be good for me right now as I have basics to practice before I did that, to maximize later lessons. Do you have a recommendations of how to learn my arpeggios for all basic chords in all inversions, first? I want a fundamental, basic, understanding of arpeggios for major, minor, dominant 7's 7flat5's, half diminished, to basically run the gauntlet, and know their inversions. I'd be happy to pay you if you have material for that or could recommend material. If I have that stuff down already, I feel like lessons in the future wouldn't be spent wasting time on basics. thx in advance for anything you write back. Cheers my friend, learning from your channel is a dream come true. The material, the pace, your take on things and taste. It's the best ever. If you'd rather anwer by email, just let me know and I'll send you a message.
If I remember correctly, the last Fm position looks like a Dm up three frets. For working on 7th chord arpeggios, I'd recommend putting small octave versions in the context of ii V I progressions - that's what I usually do with my students and it's pretty fun!
Just love these Ribot lesson Eric. I would like to make up some backing tracks using Ableton software. Any suggestions for getting a junk yard gypsy rythum drum sound? What is the time signature of Telephone Call? thank you.
Oooh yeah good idea! I'm not super-familiar with Ablelton, but one of my friends told me about ez drummer and I use it quite a bit. There's even a version made by Tom Waits' percussionist! www.toontrack.com/product/twisted-kit-ezx/ For the tempo/time signature, it'd try something around 134bmp with swing eighth notes.
Thanks so much for the lesson! There's a crazy electric Latin/Cuban thing going on in yours and Ribot's playing. Do you think you could give us a quick run through of the bass lead in to the solo?
Thanks Jonny! I really appreciate it! BTW really nice work on your channel! I'll be be visiting your site for fingerstyle jazz tabs soon! I love Godin guitars - so well made and affordable!
thanks Eric, that channel is very neglected. I'm working on a new channel of theory lessons. Did you ever consider doing videos on Ribot's cuban stuff?
Oooh you should do that! Students are so intimidated by theory, but it can be quite simple if it's broken down enough. And yeah, I've got "Ill Divorco" pretty well worked out. Just gotta fine tune it a bit and then I'll put it up :)
I love how much you reference Ribot, one of the most idiosyncratic and exciting guitar players around. Thank you for your videos Eric!
My pleasure Steven!
The Marc Ribot/Tom Waits collab was such a game changer for me - those 2 together are just epic!

Thanks so much Fred!
I haven't tried that setting on the HOF - now I'm gonna give it a shot!
Ha. And I thought I'd discovered one of your secrets ! Love your Mustang, by the way.
Eric your lessons are proving once again to be inspirational! I haven't enjoyed playing this much in years. Thank you so much.
It's my pleasure Robert!

Thanks! I'm hoping to have some more stuff up next week!
Man you absolutely killed it! I'm not a guitarist I just came to see you do it and you definitely delivered the goods.
Thanks so much Adam!
This solo is one of my all time favorites - that perfect combination of jazz, blues, and weird :-)

You nailed the Ribot feel!
Perfect tutorial ! no speak ,only music and slow!
Eric...another amazing and inspiring lesson. Great tone, technique, and tasty licks. Thanks so much.
It's my pleasure, Richard!
Thanks for watching!
Clairement ! Même un français comprend, bravo professeur et merci
Mon plaisir! J'ai de la famille à Paris, au fait!
Really cool guitar playing mate.. I'm going grab my guitar right now.. Love your channel..
Awesome! That’s what I love to hear! I’m all about sharing the riffs! Have fun!
I LOVE IT! thank you very much for this wonderful tutorial!!!
You are an amazing teacher. Thank you so much for improving my guitar playing.

You're absolutely right about the speed settings here. Brilliant! Now I'm really going to get after it. Thanks very much again.
Wow you've got it spot on! I'm amazed
Thanks! I'm actually working on another Ribot transcription right now! He's one of my favorites!
Mine too! Can't wait to hear it :) Love your tone it's very impressive what you achived
Eric... Thank you very much! Again!
Yeah buddy! Thanks for watching!
Brilliantly done Eric ...rock on man !
Thanks man!
Nice job! Hats off.
Thanks!

Eric Haugen thank you for the help, I'll try this approach. Best regards
Gods Work...haha... and yeah. Bless You
This is so cool! Do you think Ribot improvised this or worked it out beforehand? The idea someone could improvise like that is insane!
Knowing that Marc was heavy in the NJ Jazz scene at the time makes me think that solo was pretty much off the cuff!

Totally! Are you psychic??
That one's been on my list for a while, and I've already started transcribing it :-)
Eric Haugen you are the man Eric. Love your channel and look forward to the lesson
AMAZING ERIC! THANKS
Oh yeah this is a great solo - so many good ideas to think about!
I just started getting back into guitar and this is so much fun to play! Thanks for making this!
Rad! I'm happy to help!

I love it, thanks for this lesson; what strings are you using?
Thanks! These are just Ernie ball 11s on that mustang
Great playing and fantastic sound! Do you have both pickups on?

Eric Haugen thx a ton eric, I’ll work on that.
Eric,
What is that chord you play at the very end ?
Eric, does the transcription on your site include the rhythm section as well as the lead?
Hi Jeffrey!
I just double-checked, and it only includes the solo, not the riff - sorry bout that!
so cool. i think it would also sound great on an acoustic gypsy jazz guitar. it has that django vibe
Man, you're exactly right - I just tried it on my acoustic and it totally has that django feel! Can't believe I didn't notice that sooner!
Just love these Ribot lesson Eric. I would like to make up some backing tracks using Ableton software. Any suggestions for getting a junk yard gypsy rythum drum sound? What is the time signature of Telephone Call? thank you.

For the tempo/time signature, it'd try something around 134bmp with swing eighth notes.
what is the very last chord you finnish the solo on?
Ah yes in the vid I end it with an Fm on the top three strings -
5 on the G, 6 on the B, 3 on the E.
Whow!!!!!! Thanks ❤
Thanks so much for the lesson! There's a crazy electric Latin/Cuban thing going on in yours and Ribot's playing. Do you think you could give us a quick run through of the bass lead in to the solo?
Good idea! I'll put something together next shoot!
(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
Heads up! I just put up a run down of that main riff: ua-cam.com/video/f5iooKkJSNc/v-deo.html
Enjoy!
Eric Haugen thanks a lot!!! I was just practicing to the lesson last night.
+arstook excellent! Glad I could help'
est-ce que la Blues Francais?.SWEET Mustang bro! nice playing too.
Thanks Ivan!

OK but what key is it in
To clarify, I'm just at a point where I'm trying to understand how a C# major works within the key of A
very cool
