Ry Cooder Inspired Right Hand Boogie Technique - Rhythm Guitar Lesson
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 бер 2017
- In this clip, I show how to play a bluesy Ry Cooder-inspired right hand pattern. It's different than other right hand patterns because it has a funky, percussive drive to it. It's really fun to play with once you get it going!

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.
Ive been playing guitar for 45 years and NEVER thought of that rhythm thanks soo much.
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.
77 here still learnin , I really like this one.
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 ✌️
Ha! Cooler than the other side of the pillow!
I love cats and dogs, but am definitely more of a cat person - I love how lazy and opinionated they are!
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!
Awesome! Thanks so much, Steve!
You're absolutely right - tone and intention are just as important as technique!
Mate, I'm hypercynical and usually only leave insults but this is a great vid.
Ha! I feel very special! Thanks!
@@adamburger5761 No one = 66 thousand subs. You must be a Trump voter.
ok guys. This is a pretty relaxed channel with good music - let's let it go.
@@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.
Just lovin’ the good vibes. Eric got that Ry slapping down.
Good lord fella. That tone of yours is to die for.
Eric, a bout of insomnia led me to your channel. I was cursing my inability to sleep, but now the whole incident has a serendipitous air. Great playing, cool topics, a natural teaching style - yet brimming with information. You are my new guitar Yoda! Keep up the excellent work. (And have a nice day.)
I have insomnia quite often - I feel your pain!
I'm glad you found my channel!
@@EricHaugenGuitar The way you show different angles and slow the groove way down is invaluable, no ego, no "look how good I am" just bare bones technique and tone for days. Love you man!
!!!! It's that 'tick-a tick-a tick-a"!! Nice work!!! Know what I'm doing this week
Yeah!
That pads+nails thing is a gamechanger!
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
That’s awesome stuff 👍
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 ;-)
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!
Your vids are well performed, well recorded, have great tone, and best of all, not annoying . . Great job!
That's great to hear! I try to keep things creative, concise, and intuitive!
TREU THAT!
Real rhythm guitar playing. Inspiring lesson indeed. Thanks.
What an awesome lesson! thank you Eric!!
Thanks man!
I love Tom Waits, btw. Like, a LOT!
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 :)
Great stuff and a very neat guitar!
Thanks as always, Eric. You are an inspiration. Love that rhythm...
love the stuff you are sharing Eric, certainly in my groove. many thanks.
It's my pleasure! This was a really fun idea to stumble across. Very gritty old-school sound.
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!
Thanks Leo! In the end, we're all just random internet dudes!
I'm so glad my taste and style resonates with you!
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 :-)
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!
Eric, you're a great teacher. Thank you so much for you're videos. 🙏
Thanks so much - I try!
Love your videos man!!
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it!
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 Hi Eric - nice choice of drumming favourites - glad you liked the comment.
Your playing is really awesome and the way you break it down really helps me. Thanks.
Thanks Eugene! Have fun with it!
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!
Great job Eric 🎸
That was cool, thanks for posting. I gotta learn these types of licks i want to head down this road.
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!
Sweet mother of tones!
Thanks great lesson . Love Ry Cooder
Yeah! Such a unique groove master!
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.
Thanks so much man!
Great! Really helpful tutorial, thanks for doing it
It's my pleasure Aidan! I'm happy to be here!
Great lesson Eric. Technique really clearly explained and fun to play! Thanks!
It's my pleasure! Boogie on, brother!
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!
I'm hooked, I can't stop playing that rhythm
Great videos Eric Thank you!
Thanks James! It's a really groovy pattern once you get it goin'!
Great lesson, looking forward to more lessons on this. The rhythm keeps you on an awesome musical merry go round
Thanks Jonathan!
I've got this one here, where I apply this technique to Nina Simone's "Sinnerman": ua-cam.com/video/dpijcQ8cNKM/v-deo.html
This is awesome, thanks for sharing this!
It's my pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Truly awesome! Really enjoyed lesson thanks
My pleasure!
The right hand is where it’s at! We often overlook him - but so much cool stuff starts over there!
that was very, very, very cool!
Your videos are terrific! Lessons are awesome, video and sound are both great! Thanks Eric!
Thanks Adam!
Really cool! ..I'm gonna work on that! Thanks Eric, great tone, great playing!
Thanks Terry!
It's tricky to get it going, but once you do it's really fun!
That is really cool
Good stuff! Thanks a lot Eric.
It's my pleasure!
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.
Thanks Fred!
Welcome to my relaxed little corner of the internet!
excellent Eric!! Thx
Yeah buddy! I'm glad you liked the clip! It's a real game-changer rhythm technique!
This is lesson is fire. And I like your funky rig. Subscribed.
Awesome technique ! So swampy and dirty ;-)
Really useful lesson! Thanks Eric!
Yeah! It's real groovy once you get it going!
Super cool!!
Thanks Sergio! Once you get it going it's a really cool gritty sound!
Ohhhhhh, I’m diggin’ that!!!
A "Cooderpaw" - something to aspire to!! Great stuff thanks Eric.
Thanks Peter!
OMG I've been looking for a video on this exact thing! I couldn't figure it out
Wow, what a resource...you have really done your homework, Eric, and you have great taste.
Thanks so much, Jeep!
That means so much coming from an accomplished artist such as yourself!
Much Respect!
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.
Thanks so much, Craig!
It makes me so happy to hear that my style resonates with so many good people out there!
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!
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😁
Thanks so much man!
Yeah, I’m really into the whole groove plus fill approach - it really helps blur the lines between rhythm and lead playing!
Bravo, l'ami ! Très bon tout ça !
Merci beaucoup!
Very nice! Thanks for that.
It's my pleasure, Nat! Thanks for watching!
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!
Sweet Jesus that sound!
Nice badass picking technic! thanks
It's my pleasure, Sebastien! Once you get it rolling and add little fills it really takes off!
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!
Groovy stuff!
Thanks man! Yeah, it's really killer once you get it goin'! Plus, this technique is the gateway to chicken pickin' Mark Knopfler right hand stuff as well - bonus!
nice man i like this techniuqe
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!
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.
Yeah, it's sort of a carter style thumb slap boogie - once I found it, I use it all the time!
Great Job! I think you nailed it. And thanks for posting all the gear info. That's very helpful.
Thanks! It was a really fun discovery to make - a real game-changer!
Very groovy. Love it!
Thanks Min!
This is my favorite of yours!
Thanks man!
Fantastic! Thanks a lot for that.
It's my pleasure Fred! I've got another vid about this technique coming out Friday, so stay tuned!
Just.. yeah... amazing! Thanks a lot! Love Ry Cooder, very interesting! Love your videos!
Thanks Victor! Discovering this little technique was a real game-changer! Now I'm finally starting to understand what Ry and Mark Knophler are doing!
Very cool
Looks super fun. Can't wait to get home from work and give this one a try.
It takes a while to get going, but once you get it rolling, you can boogie for days!
Just what I needed to get outta my rut,thank you so much.
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
Keep it up awesome !
Thanks Bruce will do!
Excellent bro ✊
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 :-)
Great lesson. Thanks for slowing it down a couple of times. Just what I needed to "get it".
Yeah it's tricky at first! But then......so diiiiirty!
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 🤙
Great job, thanks.
It's my pleasure, Todd!
I love it
Thanks John!
Your tone is stellar, as always
Thanks Drew!
Been checking out your videos. They most helpful, and I can't help digging the Mustang through whatever amp you've got it into. Love this rhythm. It will find it's way into one of my songs soon.
Cool! Yeah, it's very adaptive to different tempos/genres.
Sounds amazing cool man!
Thanks Ron!
Thank you Eric, That's way cool ! Yuma,AZ.
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!
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!
This is one of the coolest lessons I've seen on UA-cam , I just got to practice. Practice. And practice now , cheers bro , ps , really dig your guitar too.
Thanks John! Have fun with it!
Thanks for posting this! I needed to see this for my playing. Have a great one! :)
Yeah! Once you get it going it's really useful! Stay tuned - I have another video on this technique coming out next week :)
Totally diggin that
Thanks Kent!
Using both sides of the right hand fingers is something I noticed clawhammer banjo players doing - it sounds awesome on guitar!
Hi! Just found your channel and I'm loving it! :) Thanks for the effort. Super nice Mustang too!
Thanks Rupert! I really appreciate it!
Muchas gracias amigo. Muy instructiva ✌
De nada Alex!
Wicked cool as they say here in Massachusetts. The Ry Cooder rumble. I'm working on this riff with my National Duolian in open-E tuning using a bottleneck. Very old school.
It's a pissah! I spent a good amount of time up in Boston (went to school there), hung out in Andover and Milford a bunch too! I miss the New England sarcasm!
Brilliant idea to do this boogie on an open tuned resonator! I keep meaning to do a sequel to this vid with a slide and open tuning - you beat me to it! Smart!
super lesson, a treasure! Thanks Eric and greetings from Amsterdam
It's my pleasure! A good friend of mine just moved to Amsterdam - she and her husband are loving it there!
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. ✌️
Oh yeah I've watched that footage of him playing jumer on the line over and over! His thumb technique is insanely groovy!
I'm struggling with this for some reason. Usually things come easy to me.
gem of a vid!
Thanks!
Great! Thankyou!
It's my pleasure Martin!
Thanks for watching!
