Eric, one of your many skills as a teacher is your ability to remember what was hard despite having mastered the technique many years ago. Well done.
One of your many skills is making your viewer feel that , deep down, they already know what your explaining, they just couldn't put it into words as clearly and succinctly as you. Thank you for sharing.
Yes! I really think it doesn’t have to be complicated - if we have fun, and focus on feel that’s the stuff!
A couple weeks ago a local retirement home asked me to play a singalong for the residents there. I'd never played a lot of these songs, show tunes and pre-rock hits and folk songs. Fortunately a lot of experience in knowing my chords and creating a rhythm people can sing with meant I could just pull the changes off the internet and listen to a song a few times and I was off and running. Being a better lead player wouldn't have helped me much! And it turned out to be more fun than I would have thought.
Yeah! That’s the gig right there!
@@EricHaugenGuitar Now that I'm closing in on retirement myself, playing for old folks is about right.
Yeah, I've focused too much on theory and haven't got down any solid riffs and grooves. Thanks for pointing out the importance of having recognizable riffs to jam with.
These godins are so nice. I picked up the 2 humbucker version last year and play it unplugged a lot more than I thought I would!
that 5th avenue is beautiful. i had seen pics before but they didn't do it justice.
Have a Fifth Ave matte black, with a stealth Schatten undersaddle I had installed instead of a P 90 what a sweet little guitar Robert Godin is a legend
Hi Eric, great video! Thank you for focusing on the important stuff! Cheers from Germany
Priceless lesson, I needed that, thanks a million
Love your set-up, cameras, vibe, the whole enchilada. Fledging guitar player your giving hope to. Thanks.
You always come up with such valuable lessons. Thanks
thanks Eric! Your lessons are so helpful and inspiring!
I'm going to have to listen to it again as there was so much good stuff. Thank you.
I love your instructions Eric! Please keep it up dude!! 💪
Dude, this is exactly what I'm looking for. Your videos are so helpful. Thanks man!
so much thanks for this lesson.
Great lesson, thanks for pointing out the subtle stuff. It's so good to be mentored by a real musician. What a luxury!
A gem every week! Thanks!
Talk about "bang for your buck"! Eric comes up with the most useful learning concepts and learning plans.
Excellent as always 🎉
Another great lesson, Eric.
Thank, Eric!
Happy Friday! ✌️🍕🤍
Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful weekend Eric ❤😊
A rare lesson where I know how to do the thing! Whew! Confidence builder! Thank you, Eric! ✌️😌🎸
Yay! Keep it groovy - that’s the main thing!
I'm an ex lead guitarist from age 11, been switching from bass to lead to keep up my speed on 5 string bass. Thanks I'm 73 playing in bands that get occasional gigs.👍😅🎸🎼🎤
love this one ❤️
Man, I love your videos.
Didn't know the guy from Jaws played guitar lol
But only two notes, one semi-tone apart
Thanks Eric! I love your teaching and always benefit from every watch.
Thanks so much!
Your class is very interesting. Just a secondary comment. This Godin sounds great in your hand.
Great video and advice 👏
Pulling a great tone out of that 5th Avenue and Bel Ray--very well-developed hands.
Awesome lesson. Deserves a double like!
dude you are just a dude and I appreciate that thank you bud👍
That Gibson is beautiful! Love that pick guard on that body.
Great video, been listening to Fade into You recently. Figured out the melody on guitar, just followed the chord tones & pentatonic scale.
Great video 😊
Really cool to see someone of Eric’s cred, rocking on eastmans
Your a great teacher
Brilliant
Nice Godin 5th Ave. Just bought one. Thanks
Right!? Such great gtrs for the $$$
In response to the Mazzy Star groove, that tip to hit the B and E string open while changing chords took me right back to 2006 when my first guitar teacher was teaching me how to strum. That was the key trick that got me over my first major learning hump. Syncopated strumming is so fundamental yet so difficult to get right as a beginner! If you're just starting out and you need an extra 8th note of time between your chord fingerings, just hit the B and E string open so you dont break groove!
Man, you got some insane guitars. That godin is special. P90s?
Never seen that before. I have a Gretch 6120 Brian Setzer.
Great video, as always
Great information. Very important learned skills from hours of having fun. Not practice.
Cheers from Canada...
What a pretty jazz box🙂
thanks!
talking about all this mellow, great sounding songs while wearing a SLAYER shirt!! insta-sub! FU#!ING SLAYER!!!
Thanks!
Thanks so much Doug!
Getting ready to head to a band rehearsal ( banjo player, but now akso on electric guitar 😅) …. gonna watch this when I get back, but yes, I already kinda keep a few riffs I like and dont try to copy solos not for note
Facts brother...facts.
Love me two times! The Doors never fail
This was great. Like you said, I don't think Neil Young gets enough credit for the nuance to his playing. It's why so many covers of him just don't sound quite right even though they appear easy.
One the issues with this is because people always say about certain riffs that “this is an easy one to play”. Then the player learns the notes and assume they have it. Nothing is easy if you focus on the nuances. Which is what music is all about. Being in time. Nailing the groove. Making the songs dynamics stand out. Etc.
For example. “Seven nation army” is one the “easiest” songs to play. Almost every guitarist can play it. But listen how differently each person sounds playing it. Pressing the right “buttons” isn’t enough.
The doors of perception, or the door into (guitar) summer ;) Applying bookish associations (my apologies) to convey that your lessons have that quality of being inspiring for learning, performing and teaching practices. Thank you, thank you, thank you :)
My repertoire so far for my jam session this Sunday:
Ziggy Stardust
Midnight Rambler
Stray Cat Blues
Jane Says
Thank you for Your suggestions in this video!
Oooh that’s a good list!
To build a repertoire is something I find incredibly complicated. You practice a lot of different things and in the end fell sometimes you cannot play any song correctly :)
You might be picking stuff that’s too complicated - try some simple stuff and dig in deep with the feel 😎
Love Mazzy Star!!✌🏼
Loved this one, especially having the recommend list of songs to learn! I’m a trained classical guitarist but I have been wanting to get into blues and rock. Your channel has been a huge help for learning the style and just song suggestions, as I don’t know that much of the rep. Would love to see more of those. I’m grabbing your caged course next paycheck and I am super excited!
Man, you got some nice guitars
Had to come back again to this video because it's so good lol, could you do more on integrating theory and groove/repetoire?😅😅
Hey! Love these videos and your instructions. On the subject of Jam sessions and Rythm, may I suggest a deep dive into Bob Weir’s Rythm playing? The Dead are the OGs of jamming and Weir’s Rythm guitar playing is so unique!
Hey Eric, is there any possibility that you could do a video on Audiation and how to practice for guitar players? This is an issue that I struggle with and I think, that many people might not know that this is one of their struggles aswell…
I‘m quite sure that you would do a great job explaining it - since you always do!
If you’re going from playing on your ownsome on your sofa to jamming with others, make sure to leave space for those other people. Like Neil Young playing it differently depending on if he’s solo or with a band.
Yeeees!!!
I play that doors song sometime's .. Its fun to see what you do different than me :-)
A Union Special hat from Raleigh?! My man
Be a carpet for the song to lay on, amazing advice!
Love your lessons, thanks! Here's a playlist of all the songs mentioned: music.ua-cam.com/play/PL5YHM-vj0qXt15lSb2IxLO3lidMowsC3D.html&si=u6CXx2SDVO-Tujsn
Hey Eric I'm thinking about the Godin, what I am wondering is in what context can I use it for
It’s a great gtr for jazzy, rockabilly, acoustic type stuff! Being a full hollow with a wooden bridge it’s not so great for bends and that type of thing
Hey Eric what amp do you use with your Godin?
laying it down like good rug - Thank you.
Great video, great guitars and very good advice. What's the tune at the end ?
Just jammin on “Fade Into You”!
@@EricHaugenGuitar ha yes! I've it on my playlist just couldn't remember what it was . Thanks Eric
This video just slap the shit outta me. Thanks Eric. Into the pocket it is. Oh well
This is the last guitar training channel I subscribed to. It makes me feel like I could unsubscribe from all others.
came here for that 5th avenue
Thanks Eric! What are the chords for bitter sweet symphony?
It’s just E Bm D A over and over - so fun!
31 years since Fade Into You, holy shit.
Hmmm. Time well spent here today.
What are some good two guitar songs with basic chords, and a simple guitar riff?
Ooooh good question! AC/DC always comes to mind aaaaaand The Stones
Slow Hands by Interpol is a simple song that sounds awesome. It uses some caged chords but nothing crazy. You're basically just sliding the same shape around the whole time.
@@EricHaugenGuitar 🙏🏼
@@Garrett8098 thank you I appreciate it
RIP Dave Roback.
is there an Eric Haugen Fake Book? 100 songs guitarists should know to jam?
Hi Eric, would you recommend the c414 for recording a guitar amp? I’m thinking clean/ slight OD sound with high verb mostly? Does that even make a difference?
The C414 will be too crystalline/harsh on the high end of an overdriven guitar. I recommend a ribbon mic - they're smoother/growlier

@@EricHaugenGuitar Hey, thanks for the hint, appreciate it - and keep up the great work! Much love!
draaaaaaag
How to prepare for a jam? Learn to listen. Full stop
Great video, thanks a lot! Your lessons are always so relaxing.
How do you keep track of your riffs and grooves or how do you organize them? I find it hard to remember what songs to play once in a while, so I often forget them. Any advice?
If it makes you feel better I constantly forget how to play things! Our brains naturally move things around to the dusty corners when we don't use them - it always takes some time to dig things out again!
