    @davidparkerguitar 5 років тому +1

    Wow! I just "discovered" Jeff Parker (late to the party as usual), and here you have a lesson! Rather than finding things slowly on my own (e.g., Ribot), maybe I should just comb through your lessons and listen to every player you feature in your lessons!

    • @2545poc
      @2545poc 5 років тому +1

      No problem dude. I saw Tortoise for the first time a few years ago and ended up bringing a couple of friends (my buddy and his GF) to the show and they weren't huge fans of it, unfortunately. They appreciated their musical abilities, but mostly they both responded - of course YOU love this band as you're a drummer! The gf made mention of the fact that she liked people watching during their set as it was painfully obvious that a bunch of people there were drummers also as they were either air-drumming or bobbing their heads in time with the beat. Oh well, you can't convert everyone into fans.

    • @EricHaugenGuitar
      @EricHaugenGuitar  5 років тому +1

      I get it - they're not the most energetic live act. but THE SOUND! THE RHYTHMS!
      so good.

  • @davidewing55
    @davidewing55 6 років тому +1

    Beautiful, Eric. I wasn't familiar with this tune. Gorgeous tone, too. With a Silvertone amp, no less! My first electric guitar and amp were Silvertones. I practically gave them away. Now they are probably worth a fortune.

    • @EricHaugenGuitar
      @EricHaugenGuitar  6 років тому

      Thanks David! Tortoise and that whole scene of post-rock groove bands is cool stuff - jazz for people who aren’t total jazz heads :-)
      These old silvertones have gone up in price, but you can still get them for $600-$1000. Mine actually belongs to a friend of my in LA, the poet/writer Tony Tost, who did a bunch of Longmire episodes and created the “Damnation” show. Interesting guy.

  • @addisonneill9366
    @addisonneill9366 6 років тому +5

    Nice! Do you listen to Jim O'rourke, gastr del sol, or The sea and cake? They are some of my favorite Chicago musicians/bands along side Jeff parker and tortoise.

    • @EricHaugenGuitar
      @EricHaugenGuitar  6 років тому

      I've got big gaps in my Chicago/Post-Rock catalog. Aside from a few Tortoise records, and a Sam Prekop album, I'm lacking.
      I'm all ears to some good recommendations!

    • @addisonneill9366

      @zuks345 6 років тому +1

      Eric Haugen Gastr del Sol's catalogue is pretty much all great, there's some very intricate guitarplaying involved, listen to "Dictionary of Handwriting" for example. Lovely lesson, would you consider doing "Glass Museum" sometime in the future?

    Always do you... and I love the playing here a lot. But I gotta mention it one more time... I'd love to see how you approach jazz & swing playing!
    It kinda seem like it's not your taste of style but... ya know... stepping in the challange or unfamiliar lane can open up more technique and could help broaden your musical toolbox for you students! Idk you though. I'd rather you enjoy your days how you prefer livin' them.
    (Edit) - like Wes Montgomery or Gypsy Jazz Swing stuff.
    I know musical styles all kinda blend together at the edges, but yeah... I'm talking about the thick-jazz-mustache-of-a-style. Not just "jazziness", but the whole thaang!
    Peace man!

    • @EricHaugenGuitar
      @EricHaugenGuitar  6 років тому

      Oh yeah! Freddie Green, Django, and Wes are some of my favorite players! The main reason I haven’t done a straight ahead swing thing is that there’s teachers on YT who are doing a great job with that material already, but it’s true, my take would be a little different. A little more primal and simple.
      This post-rock stuff is great to play cause you get the jazz chords and structures, but in a more 90s way :-)

    • @ImproveHumanity
