- There's 6th CHORDS; and then there's 6th INTERVALS. Aha therein lies the confusion.

Thanks for watching!
I was learning the solo to chocolate town by ween this morning. I watched this lesson randomly, wasn't even thinking about the solo anymore and it litterally taught me the rest of chocolate town!!
Hooray strange universe!!
Picked up your Truefire Masterclass the other day. Will dig into it over the weekend. I've been mooching off your knowledge for so long, I was happy to throw some dollars your way.
Thanks man!
Ditto :-* so you can get some pizza
Me too! Can’t wait to get started!
6 scale tones apart!!💡That's the key. You're the first person to mention this in the vids I've been scoping out on the subject. Thank you.
This “Mike Campbell” approach is doing wonders for my songwriting and arranging of guitar parts. Simpler is gooder. 😎
Yesssss!
I had to dig through your previous videos to see if I'd left a comment asking for this specifically. I've been asking for something like this around the internet for a while now, and while I've figured out most of it since, this is invaluable. Thank you!
Thank you, Eric! Another fine lesson and insight to all this music and guitar stuff 🙏
Once again I learned some thing new. It's the bottom note that's the harmony! Lightbulb moment. When you tied the sixthththssses in to the CAGED shapes towards the end for context, again another lightbulb. Sure will take some practice for me to get that facility going.
I watch a LOT of guitar and gear on you tube and frequently it leaves me feeling somewhat anxious or inferior. You have the opposite effect, Here again at the end of this video I am in a calm state of mind, I'm inspired and wiser and it only took twelve and a half minutes.
Oh by the way, for the first time on a Friday, and by sheer coincidence, tonight we had pizza. It was good. 🍕🤟
YES! That’s my thing, Peter!
We don’t need more gear or hot licks.
If we just take it easy, and listen to what we do, we can get so much soul enrichment! 🏄♂️
Part way through your Truefire course and, just like your videos, must say it is excellent. Really helped me hear things better than ever.
Yay! That’s what I love to hear!
Bought your course this week Eric this week, pretty pumped to get started with it. Thanks for your help and keep up the great work, you're making a difference!
Yay! Thanks Jean!
What relaxed I feel when I watch your vídeos....really peaceful ones
Thanks! A favorite move that I never knew what to call. Now I can impress my friends with my musical knowledge. Next I need to get a friend…
Great video, thanks so much, love the tone, style, and your presentation
Have a sixth sense that this lesson is going to take me to good places😉😎👍
😎👍❤🖖
Love Brother
Thanks for making the tab available--extremely useful lesson!
Man I always dig your vibe and your lessons. Thanks!
I came looking for this. I was thinking "oh, it's Saturday night, what should I watch? I know! Eric would have put out a new video yesterday, that's what I'll watch!". I watched a couple of other videos from creators that I like on the way, but none of them had the vibe that I was looking for. Great content, informative, and laid back, great for a night that involved pizza.
I looked for this technique forever before I knew what it was called. Everyone does it and rightly so. Sounds amazing!
I’ve been doing this all the time and never knew what it was , some very cool things in there I did not know. Very cool thank you !!
Eric, this is absolutely stupendous. I am going to follow you and learn all you share. Applying it to how I play. Thank you.
Thanks Eric, great lesson as always 👌
Great lesson; thank you for sharing.
Thanks again! You are also funny in a very relaxed way.
I’m really enjoying your TrueFire class. I hope they have you do more!
Thanks Ken!
Me too - I've got lots of other things to add to the CAGED zen stuff :-)
I've been getting good at this concept, ovr the past few years, and found it very useful, in surprised that not a lot of people talk about it, so thus teaching is gold
Thanks Dave!
Lovely. Reminds me of some of the sweet fills on Dusty Springfield's classic Dusty In Memphis record..
Bodacious. Probably the first vid channel where, first visit, I did all the good stuff - subscribe, hit like, oiled the penguin - it all made a load of sense and clarified a lot of theoretical that had previously been unclarified. Thank you my friend, I will explore the avenues to reciprocate.
lovely etude! Thanks for sharing.
Ah!! The lesson I've been waiting for! Thanks!!!!
Excellent lesson
what a great lesson thankyou eric
Paul Simon is a wizard at this concept with Hearts and Bones being the example that’s front of mind. Thanks Eric!
I like your approach in both playing and teaching. I think I'll stick around for a while.
The tone of that Fender is just so... probably unattainable. It's gorgeous
It's just reverb! :-)
Man your chanel is so inspirational. I started learning guitar by trying to learn metal songs. I love metal but trying to play super fast, complicated riffs can get pretty tense. I like your philosophy of using the guitar as chillout, almost meditational device. It's quite refeshing - sometimes practicing starts to feel like work and when you are already at work almost every day, sometimes you just want to chill out and relax
Yeah!
We gotta give our fingers and brain the time they need to make the moves pretty!
👍Was gonna ask you to to a lesson on these. Currently about 60%of the way through the TF course. Really enjoying it.
Thanks man!
You can see how these would tie into the CAGED fills stuff too 🤓
Thanks for another great and concise lesson, Eric. I'm digging the Truefire class, too. One advantage of streaming lessons is that my playing does not suddenly suck like it does during live lessons! That said, I will have to reconnect for the latter one of these days/weeks/months.
Yay! See ya soon-ish!
What a beautiful tone and touch! I just want to play one note in my lifetime that sounds as sweet as any of these
Scored your course today been wanting to learn the caged for years so when I seen u did a course on caged it was a must
Yay! Thanks for your support!
Very nice thanks man
I like the TrueFire coarse so far. It’s very straightforward
Thanks Luke! I tried to keep it simple and clear, with actionable exercises ✊🏻✊🏻
you're the man! Thanks for the positive attitude :D
Thanks Jad!
6ths like this is a real piano move, but it works beautiful on the guitar as well of course. Nicky Hopkins would do these really beautiful sixths on Stones' songs.
Hey Eric since I started watching your vídeos and now with your caged course I feel like a improved not only as a beginner Guitar player but as a musician in general. 2 nights ago I was playing My guitar and My wife told me that the guitar sounded beatiful and relaxing...like a peaceful atmosphere instead of the noisy Overdrive/distortion I used to play she said..LOL. in that moment I realized that I was infected by "Haugen-Phylosophy" hahaha. Seriously man, thanks for all that you do with passion and dedication for us. God save Haugen
Yay! That's what I love to hear bruh!
During your discussion regarding scale tones I heard Jim Croce’s Operator
Such a great track!
I love when you go on the detours in the youtube world I call those the “fills”. 😎
Always a good story from your side
This is a really great video. It would be awesome if you made more videos of concepts like from this video.
Good idea! I should really walk through all the CAGED 6th positions!
Thank you for another fantastic lesson. I have to say this…you have a very calming teaching style and I appreciate that. I have moved my little Peavey Classic 30 into my living room and on top sits my little mxr phase 90 for that modulation (don’t have a tremolo) and this is my little Zen space to reset the brain. I’m really thinking a few plants will be nice as well. Eat Pizza! 🤓👍
Do it! Just get the easy houseplants that are impossible to kill - it’s nice to have an audience 😎🌱🌴
@@EricHaugenGuitar so when they’re wilted that means I have to practice more. 🤣🤣🤟👍
@@EricHaugenGuitar which house plants do you have?
The Truefire course is da bomb 💣. Watch that first, and what Eric is saying here will come together more and sink into your bones 🦴 better.
Thanks Kipp!
I play harmonized thirds on the g and d strings all the time. Think A and C out of the a minor pent. It occured to me a while back these are the inversions of the sixths that you are playing. Really cool lesson and presentation. Great job on the video.
Yeah! 6ths are really just inverted 3rds!
@@EricHaugenGuitar I'm lost. Why is what you're playing not a root and a third? Cause you count backwards from A?
Thank you!
For me, learning the intro to Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison taught me everything about 6ths that I needed to know. With that as a basis, I could explore the rest of the strings and fretboard knowing exactly what it's all meant to sound like :).
"Caged Zealot" sick hardcore band name
Keep'em Eric - we're counting on you
You can also consider the notes to be 3rds and 5ths. "Ghost note on root" (on the B string)
Example: the root and 3rd of A can also be seen as the flat 3rd and 5th of F#m.
Also, root and flat 3rd of Bm can be seen as 3rd and 5th of G.
It's really cool how things can change!
Thank you for your videos, I have watched a few! ❤
I like to think about it as playing the 1 and the 3 from the underlying harmonized chords. So in key of C:
C Dm Em F G Am Bdim (we don't care about the flat 5th)
So we just play the 1 and 3 (maj or min based on the chord), which are 6 intervals apart. I find it easy to picture those notes from the chord, rather than notes from the scale (though it's the same thing). And of course with these particular 6ths, we're grabbing the 1 and 3 from the E shape.
Reggie Young is smiling 🎸 love the Hiwatt had a 50 watt bulldog and traded it away🙄
Hello! Fellow UA-camr here. First time watching. Really peaceful lesson. New Sub!
Yay! Welcome brother!
I think sixth to my ear are very southern soul sounding....love them....I'm from England so we call it southern Soul....Stax Fame studios ect...not sure if it's called something else properly
Eric! Use some video tags my man, as much as I love you being a hidden gem you deserve more outreach.
Love it. A bit Steve Cropper style.
Very well explained bro..
Bless you..
I bet thirds are coming soon 😉
Yeah!
Pentatonic walks, doublestops, 6ths, 3rds, open strings, and skronk. Those are my tricks!
@@EricHaugenGuitar Oh yeeeah .. that’s the real deal 👍💐
That brown eyed girl thing sounded like peace train to me.
Yeah! Peace Train is a primo example too!
loving the Friday content such a cool way to head into the weekend... EAT PIZZA everyone cheers
I might be looking at this wrong, but if the higher note is the root then can these can be visualized as being built off inverted triads and really thirds? Thanks!
Yes!
6ths are 3rds - 7ths are 2nds - 4th are 5ths!
I love the sixths on the low E and D string. So much fun. I prefer lower harmony on guitar in general. I know it's muddy, but I vastly prefer it in a lower register when the mix isn't very busy.
if you love that type of dense lower string harmony, check out andy shauf. he loves doing this stuff. here's hometown hero, but he also does this on the other live last.fm videos he does as well as 'drink my rivers'. all these performances he barely plays anything not on the EAD strings

I have had this backwards for years, finally get it lol.
You, Tobey and Davvy, and Stich method are my top teachers rn. Oh yea, and also ZombieGuitar
Hey that's good company! Thanks!
You make it easy for us! Now I gotta see if I can apply this to minor chords.
In any given major key, the 7 chords available follow the pattern of Maj, min, min, Maj, Maj, min, min. So the first, fourth and fifth chords are the major chords, while the other four chords are minor chords. When you play the sixth interval up and down the neck, on a given pair of strings, there are the two shapes for your fingers: the Major shape and the minor shape.
Since two notes don't equal a chord, these two note "sixths" have a wonderful ambiguity about them, where the two notes of F# and A for instance could be embellishing either a D chord or a F#m chord or a Bm7. Another super-cool thing about sixths is how in the first position the two notes could be viewed as the 1 and the 3 of the subject chord, in the third position the two notes are the 3 and the 5 of the subject chord, and in the fifth position the two notes are the 5 and the 7 of the same subject chord. It's so easy to vamp with. And in most common keys the open strings ring in beautiful sympathy.
@@markharris2912 Thanks, Mark! I’m going to work on that as soon as I get home. Looking forward to it.
@@stevepughlandman np rock on my brother
Caged Zealot is my new band name
Nice Hiwatt Bulldog… I would like one, DR103 half stack is a bit much most of the time.
Check out the T20/10 - I love it! And they’re very affordable now!
@@EricHaugenGuitar interesting… I thought it was an old school 50W Bulldog. My number one go to is a Fender Super Champ with a EV Force 10. Last time I used the 103 I watched the glass in the windows begin to resonate with the amplifier… I call that one the “Sterilizer”. I really should sell it.
I'm in the "sixethes" wagon too; impossible to pronounce for me lol
Great lesson eric but im afraid at 8:28 you mentioned the frets. lol
The Beatles "Dig A Pony" uses these to good effect
Indeed - all The Beatles knew how to throw 6ths around!
im horrible with the mi re do kinda thing... how important is that to have down as well?
Hey does that Hiwatt give you a good Pete Townshend "crunch" sound? I'm looking at picking one up and was just curious... thanks :)
YES!
ua-cam.com/video/IblzFn5bWYs/v-deo.html
so would this be the same type of thing Don Felder does on New Kid In Town? Right after "there's talk on the street, it's there to remind you..."
I just listen again - love that track.
Those are actually pentatonic doublestops - my other favorite trick!
@@EricHaugenGuitar I guess it sounds similar to what you were doing because of the way he slides down the neck with a sort of hybrid picking thing, alternating between B and D strings. I play it hitting the open G too as I'm sliding down into the C chord. It took me forever to figure that out, but it's so simple, deceptively so. The turn around/key change in that song is incredible, Felder nailed the lead parts.
thanks for breaking me out of 6th..s rut...
I've been coming out of scale-based perspectives for years. Any ideas or more videos on how to think more chord-based?
To me, everything is the 5 CAGED shapes:
ua-cam.com/video/-pyKNqRSam4/v-deo.html
Basically, any of my "Hendrix doublestop" videos are my way of discussing this idea.
sterling morrison lesson
Velvet Underground is 🔥
So this is to be used with major progressions primarily?
It tends to - but there's nothing that says it has to be that way!
Just watch out, when putting 6ths in minor keys you have to spend more time making sure that both notes are still in the key.
The intro to Omaha by Moby Grape. Sixths at their best.
1:26. “They’re actually 3rd’s if you listen closely”. Finally, someone who knows what’s up with these classic double stops!! I strongly feel it’s very misleading to refer to them in any way as 6th’s. It just screws up your understanding of harmony. They are only 3rd’s that are “inverted”, i.e. start with the root “melody” note, go UP a major or minor 3rd (depending on which note the melody note is in relation to the key that you’re playing in at the moment; a whole other very important context), and then instead of playing the harmony note ABOVE the melody note, play the harmony note one octave LOWER, so from a pitch perspective, it’s lower than the melody note . That’s what is called inverted. But harmonically, it’s still is, and will always remain, a “3rd” !!!
Thank you Eric for noticing this reply. I didn’t know if you would see it due to the older date of your video. Now if I could have the “icing on the cake”, maybe you would want to do an update to this video, for all us AP guitar students, to really set the record straight, and put the “6th’s” theory to rest, maybe???
It would be cool to see how to use 6ths with open tunings like D or G.
You can work it out yourself, if you have a second guitar in standard tuning & you know your 6th intervals, it may help you to find the notes in the open tuning by ear etc
I immediately think of Bob Dylan’s “buckets of rain!”
weird thing about open tunings is that they completely abandon CAGED structures though.
@@EricHaugenGuitar That’s true. The CAGED system goes right out the window with open tunings. But I’ve always loved what guys like Ry Cooder can do with them. He can play some beautiful stuff in D and G.
Just to clarify - the root is on the high E, correct?
Correct!
If the interval with the root note is a third , why are they called '6th' and not '3ds' ?
Aha you've stumbled into one of the weirdnessess of music theory!
Going UP from A to C# is a major 3rd, buuuut
If we go C# UP to A, that's a 6th away
This is true of ALL intervals by the way,
A to B is a major 2nd, buuuut
B UP to A is a b7th
There’s so much to unpack here beyond just the Sixthththes. Those chromatic approaches and hammer-ons in the lower register...mmm...
I have your caged lesson. Awesome. Laidback.
Yay! Thanks man!
💜🎸
This guy definitely ate a pot brownie before filming this
Something about that chorus is making me sleepy 😴
I'm sorry to correct you, A is not Do, it's La. So the diatonic starting with Do is in Anglo Saxon notation C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C
Ah yes you're coming from the fixed-do system!
I was taught the moveable-do system :-)
@@EricHaugenGuitar Oh that's fine, so if you talk to non-Anglo Saxon musicians that will bring to a nice stream of interesting dissonances
The Katanas make a lot of sense but I’m too much of a gear snob to use one.
I don't visualize it by thinking two scales at once I think bar chords
Now I’m hearing Only Living Boy in NY
Also great!
Could you teach me to shred?
Nope! I can’t shred 😂
@@EricHaugenGuitar But don't you wish you could?
dore what?

That's a sick fill bro, I mean sixth sorry
