Your tone is beyond. I am 71 and have learned a few nice tips from you. I began recoding my own stuff in 1989 on a dual cassette deck. I had a Gibson f-hole guitar back then. Now 34 years later I am still improving my tone. I recorded by myself and released a total remake of "Hey Hey My My" by Neil Young though Distrokid. Thanks much for your videos. This is one of my favorites.
E- you are now my wife’s favorite teacher and it’s all because of the kitty cat in the beginning of the lesson. She rarely has an opinion but today she happened to be walking by, noticed the cat and said “Oh, look at the pretty kitty” ............an hour later I heard her humming the riff. Now that’s cooler than the other side of the pillow ✌️
I just recently discovered your lessons Eric. I've been playing religiously for 40 years and now make it a point to study your videos. To me, your lessons are about great tone and musicality, not just technique. And it just so happens I'm both a Cooder and Ribot freak! Thanks for everything man!
Eric- I play drums, been doing it for 40+ years- been a long time frustrated guitarist- I think that’s why I gravitate to guitar shuffles and accents, and not Bass as is multiversally supposed. Your guitar playing just really lends itself to a full commitment from the drums,.,.. love it
I play drums too! The idea of groove+fills heavily influences how I approach rhythm guitar! I never noticed until recently how much my favorite drummers (Charlie Watts, Levon Helm, Cosmo Clifford, Ringo Starr, Al Jackson) affected my guitar!
@@EricHaugenGuitar Great lesson/tip. Just an observation, this type of playing is best with a vintage style pickup that is slightly (or sometimes very) microphonic. Most of my pickups are either not potted at all or just lightly so. Thanks for the great content Eric.
Your videos keep my creativity loud and full when picking up new tips and techniques. As an intermediate player you keep me I inspired to continue the endless journey
I am always astonished at the amount of material out there for guitar players. When I started I had an old record player I could slow down to half speed. This of course was long before computers and the internet. Thanks for taking the time to put this online.
+RWM0000 Yeah! I'm old enough to remember a time before the Internet. When we didn't know things, there was no google. We just had to live with the not knowing!
theres a technique ive espied lately in youtube land called chuck and pluck, mainly on acoustic, this looks pretty similar. what a boogie! u can’t sit still and listen to that. great lesson sir.
I added my two cents to several comments here but I just wanted to say that you had me hooked in the first two bars. I gotta get this one under my fingers. Next I'll have to come up with a good sounding jam track and with a progression that is suited to this. Thanks for being observant enough to get this approach in the first place.
It’s a such a cool little trick! It makes appearances in some of my other vids - Knopfler’s Southbound Again, and Nina Simone’s Sinnerman - I know I used it on those 🤙
Wow! Your videos are great! I'm so glad I stumbled onto them. I haven't played my guitar in over a year. After watching this I will be dusting her off soon. Thanks for sharing!
I never really learn your lessons note for note but I always take away something really good! This time I learned that right band rhythm and went off into an hour long jamb. So fun!
Cool! Stay tuned - I've got a lesson coming up where I combine this idea with Dave Rawlings dissonant intervals - it's gonna be groovy and weird! And dude thanks so much for supporting me on patreon!
So its been four months since I first saw this video and started chuggin' this way. I play exclusively for mine and my cats entertainment (not shows, recording, etc), but I still play every day. Wanted to say thanks a bunch for new right hand pattern. Took months to get it that steady for more than a few bars before screwing it up, but I got there.
Cool! My cat hates it when I play guitar, so you've got a much more musically-inclined feline than I! Yeah, this pattern takes some hours to get comfortable, but then....so gritty!
I just wanted to say man, i love all your videos- you have quickly become my favorite youtube guitar guy for fresh new ideas. I love your style and tone as well as the variety of material you cover. I know im just some random internet dude, but thanks you so much for sharing all this with the world. Youre awesome dude!
Nice. I love Ry Cooder. Been listening since the early 70s. I've been playing a long time myself & have to thank you for isolating that technique & saving us the work. :) As I've discovered, it's actually very easy to play & incorporate. It's simple but it's very tasty.
Dude thanks man! I’ve played drums for as long as I’ve played guitar - it really influenced how I approach the instrument. I’m always aware of the kick and snare, the groove. Rhythm is everything!
You are by far the best guitar teacher on youtube, I've seen all the most popular ones and you show a lot more dank techniques and you have really great taste in music. My favourite covers are for sure the captain beefheart covers, spot on tone and playing. Great job my dude.
I'm really enjoying your videos and I'm getting so many things to practice! You're a great teacher and guitarist. Thank you so much, one of my favorite guitar teachers on youtube :)
Very cool, you have me stumbling like a teenager again, I've been playing for 35 yrs! This could be a good opportunity for you to put together a right-hand techniques series together...Cooder style, clawhammer, travis picking, pick/finger style, etc.would be unique and very helpful for those of us right hand and picking style challenged. Good little research project to boot...unique picking styles along with unique tunings now there's something I can sink my teeth into. Break a leg!
Oooh that's a good idea! I think you're spot on - we focus too much on the left hand scales and chords and often neglect all the possibilities of the picking hand.
I haven't had the proper time to practice with the videos all the way through, but just the tricks and licks I've been picking up have helped me out of my blues rut. I've started to (slowly) turn a corner. Even without a guitar in hand I'm learning a lot from your lessons. You are also making me want to buy the JHS Silvertone pedal. Great tone sir! Can't wait to practice these lessons on my day off. Keep up the good work!
That's so cool! I read somewhere that you can practice guitar without a guitar, by just imagining yourself playing. I totally think that works! Sometimes I work out little licks and fills on my drive to my studio and am pleasantly surprised that they come out more or less as I had planned in real life!
Thanks Eric, another great lesson with your no nonsense straight to it approach😊 Brilliant groove. Seasick Steve uses it too. Teaching rhythm guitar and licks together is a breath of fresh air and something really hard to find (done well) online/UA-cam. Especially, how you present it and in your living room😁
Brilliant lesson. Very impressed with the idea of rotating for the camera to show picking technique. I'm shocked that hasn't caught on with other instructors. I would never have understood the technique without that angle. I predict some day that idea will take the teaching world by storom. And will be known forevermore as the "Haugen Rotation."
I play me some Scruggs style (think Ballad of Jed Clampett) and have been trying to motivate myself to pick up that Claw hammer move. I love the bumps and clicks of both of these skills. Guess I have my work cut out for me but this might be just what I needed to get rolling with the claw hammer and this new approach to six string. I love it! Thanks again.
Terrific teacher, very clear....terrific tone....good editing....everyone else had covered it in comments but I concur with them all. Making a difference bro....keep it up.
Are you able to get more clicks and thumps because the pickup cover is close to the strings? I used to curse my T-60 for that, now I'm going back to see if it is useful for this.
I found your page after looking for a tutorial of Ry's "Down In Hollywood". Haven't been successful (yet) as I got stuck on this page. This "boogie technique" is fascinating and have been trying to learn it. It's great! Sounds so cool. Thank you for taking the time to post this!! You've got another subscriber.
Ha! Totally. True story - I keep a "band names" note open on my phone. Whenever someone says something funny, it get added to the list. The most recent additions: "Van Haugen" "Toyota Celiac" "Aunt Mom" :-D
Thanks a lot Eric, I’m so happy I found this video! I heard this groove from RL Burnside and I could never figure it out. The guitar is not my main instrument but this technique is so cool I have to learn it. ✌️
My pleasure, man! The right hand is the secret weapon of all my favorite guitar players - there's so much badassery going on that we don't notice because we watch the fretting hand!
1st thumb pluck note = kick, thumb smack = snare. I haven't tried it yet but i bet if you shift the 'smack' through various beat positions in the bar it'd show something interesting. Ijust started watching you with th Marc Ribot vid and thers always some distinct bits of info that i can employ immediatley and are useful contexts beyond the presented one (y'know flat5ths, gliss double stops, percussive clawhammer, etc, they're transferable if you're thinking about them) thanks
+Tony Evans Thanks Tony! A wise guitar playing friend of mine told me that when he watches the greats play, he doesn't watch the fretting hand, he watches the picking hand. There's so much magic on that end!
you prolly dont care but if you're stoned like me atm you can stream all the new movies on instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my girlfriend for the last few months =)
@@EricHaugenGuitar Damn, that is hard to get the brain and hand syncopated....its like learning finger style with training the thumb to subconsciously play the alternating bass line. Still love watching this over and over and has inspired my to revisit Ry Cooder music that I discovered after Crossroads movie may years ago. Keep up the good work....Southbound Again (Dire Straits) was really good too....another tricky Knopfler technique to work on
I havent been practicing too much lately since I was working and had a class this summer but man you have gotten quite the recognition you deserve!! I got a 000-15m and this definitely seems like it would sound great on it, great rhythm playing man
Thanks Alexander! Yeah, the channel has really picked up steam this summer! Congrats on your Martin, one of my students has that model and I'm jealous!
Eric, top notch instructional video from one of the best internet instructors, on one of my favorite guitarist. The Ry tone you have is equally great. Any insight on how to achieve that without a Dumple is appreciated. Keep up the gr8 work please. Slim
Ive been playing guitar for 45 years and NEVER thought of that rhythm thanks soo much.

You're absolutely right - tone and intention are just as important as technique!
Love that PHAT tone! That old arthritic right hand boogy vibe is the bomb. John Lee Hooker just rolled in his grave in an approving way.

It's like a right hand built in drum kit goin' on. So cool.
That's the idea!
I play drums too, and I think it really influences the way I think of rhythm guitar. The idea of groove + fills is HUGE to me!

That's great to hear! I try to keep things creative, concise, and intuitive!
TREU THAT!
Cooder is legend, crossroads for life
Indeed!
I love Steve Vai/The Devil as well, but if I had to choose, it'd be Cooder all the way :-)
Thanks for your videos! Really glad to see and hear real quality rhythm guitar!!
Thanks Mikko!
Yeah - rhythm is everything! I'm a drummer too, so the importance of groove+fills type playing is huge for me ;-)
theres a technique ive espied lately in youtube land called chuck and pluck, mainly on acoustic, this looks pretty similar. what a boogie! u can’t sit still and listen to that. great lesson sir.
Chuck and Pluck! I love it!
Tone is unbelievable
Thanks so much man!
It's a combo of funky old mustang, strymon flint, ribbon mic, and plate reverb added in post :-)
Real rhythm guitar playing. Inspiring lesson indeed. Thanks.
Eric, you're a great teacher. Thank you so much for you're videos. 🙏
Thanks so much - I try!
Cooder claw was easily the best quote of the video
he he he - sometimes I can be sorta silly :-)
R L Burnside is a beast when it comes keeping that pulse going!
100%!!!
I added my two cents to several comments here but I just wanted to say that you had me hooked in the first two bars. I gotta get this one under my fingers. Next I'll have to come up with a good sounding jam track and with a progression that is suited to this. Thanks for being observant enough to get this approach in the first place.
Thanks! It would be cool to hear this technique across a simple Em - C type thing!
I’ve watched this like 400 times just to listen. Where are the vids offering more of this? 😏
Very cool, I’m working on it now.
It’s a such a cool little trick!
It makes appearances in some of my other vids - Knopfler’s Southbound Again, and Nina Simone’s Sinnerman - I know I used it on those 🤙

Thanks Eugene! Have fun with it!
What an awesome lesson! thank you Eric!!
Thanks man!
I love Tom Waits, btw. Like, a LOT!
The singles really keep the tap shuffle clear and not fuzzy and muffled. You can tell it's very deliberate through the stang
You will almost never see me play with humbuckers for this reason. Can never get comfortable with all that *extra*
Eric, awe dude, this is so good!! 50 years playing and it never dawned on me to do this. Pilfering this from you NOW!😁
Cool! Have fun with it!
Thanks great lesson . Love Ry Cooder
Yeah! Such a unique groove master!

It takes a while to get going, but once you get it rolling, you can boogie for days!
