You are honestly one of the greatest contet creaters for guitar out there. From my POV, you gave the same teaching abilties as creaters Like marty, lessons 365, music is a win, and of course active melody.
totally agree on Marty and Active Melody with Brian. Want to check out the other two. Great comment!
Those are good but there are better: “Let’s play All”
Don't wake up the Pete Townshend in you! 😆🎸🎵😎

This is priceless information for anyone not just acoustic players. I remember an interview with Keith Richard years ago when he said "silence is my palette" and agree absolutely that rhythm guitar is the important stuff. It's what makes people dance.
I would like to commend you on how you present your videos. Starting with the thumbnails which are immediately recognizable that it's you even though we don't see the face, the almost lush setting of the videos and your calm presentation. Very stylish without being stylish!
I’ve had the joy and privilege of personal lessons from Eric on guitar and bass. He is a tone monster. Taste, subtlety, and tone are *everything*. Relax, lay back & cut it down to the essentials. Your bandmates will love you for it. I know when I ruthlessly cut my note bashing (I play really hard on bass🙄) to a minimum, the groove came to the forefront. We finally hit “the pocket”, the holy grail of groove. People started dancing, the house sold more beer, and we were asked back. Win all around.
You're becoming one of not just my favorite guitar teachers, but favorite youtubers period. You're getting really creative with your video ideas, which are not only very useful but just enjoyable to watch guitarist or no. All I can say is keep this up and I can only see bigger and better things for you. These are very thoughtful and creative lessons. Thanks so much for what you do, Eric!
Yea i like listening to him. First watched through the Carr Bel-ray amp review
Excellent. My brother and I were just talking last night about this. He's a die-hard bluegrass player, but he revealed that he once bought a Strat -- shocking! He'd just gotten a bonus and had a little money to burn. His conclusion after struggling with the Start was that acoustic is about playing the instrument, but electric is about managing the gear (and playing the instrument). I think a lot of what you say here supports that.
As one of the first people to ask for this vid when your released that, “acoustic guitar for electric players” thank you greatly, Sir.
I love ‘fur’ as a tone adjective.
“This transfers back to acoustic as well”, yes, the playing smaller parts thing definitely does. If you’re playing acoustic in any kind of band situation, you need to be aware of the people around you so you don’t use up all the oxygen for yourself.
This is an excellent video for even experienced guitar players. This dude is an excellent teacher.
This is one of those videos, I’m probably going to watch a dozen times. A lot of knowledge in there 👍 thanks a lot
Outstanding lesson!
I primarily play acoustic and tomorrow plan to play fills on an electric at a family jam session/party. These tips definitely are helpful. Thanks again!!!
you're killing it with my favorites and the tone is right on for all the parts...
And another great video! Thanks, man! Been playing for 18 years now and just love your videos. It's like talking to a jam buddy while so many other RUclips-guitareros come along like really smart-a**es but actually they're just teaching BS. So keep going and I will keep coming back!
Spot on
You're quickly becoming my fav RUclips destination. Thanks for the deep yet very accessible insight.
Thanks Eric - so enjoy your lessons and this one is no exception. Love working on these smaller rhythmic bits. This lesson reminded me of just how cool these tunes were and continue to be. We all appreciate your time and enthusiasm and seeing your collection of unique guitars is an added bonus!
Love this guy - always bringing really interesting videos touching on subjects you don’t see anywhere else. Rock on, Eric 🤘
Eric this is such a great idea for a video. I wish I had seen this a couple of decades ago when I made the transition from acoustic to electric!
This is the advice I wish I had when first started playing electric guitar. You hit all the important skills and techniques. Nice! Along the lines of less is more, I've been realizing that small guitar parts often function the same way as horn lines in an R&B arrangement.
Oh yeah one hundred percent!
Yet another great video. I played a ton of acoustic and only played electric sporadically. Now I'm playing it a lot and the things you're talking about made a big difference.
I have a slight difference of opinion on exercises. Even if I've played guitar for a long time, many things are new to me. In that sense I'm a beginner *to that thing* whatever it is. An exercise is useful to get it into my fingers. After that, I often start to make a lot more progress on the repertoire. For example, I've been working on improving my thumb in fingerstyle. Exercises that isolate my thumb have been really important to help me figure out what mistakes I was making.
you're a great teacher, eric. thanks for these tips. you sound outstanding on all those bowie riffs. way cool!
Great stuff, as always, Eric! Thanks for it. My sons--newbie-ish acoustic players--are beginning to explore the electric now, too. They learned a lot from you here (when learning from their Old Man is so un-cool, of course). Gotta love those "It's *so* expressive that you gotta play it carefully and really think ahead" realizations.
This video ruclips.net/video/dCtWmv2s0tw/видео.html plays the isolated tracks for "Fame." According to this version, Carlos Alomar had been using the basic riff for Bowie's live version of "Footstompin'" which Bowie said was to good for a cover and wanted to use for an original. Other than that riff, the song was written entirely in the studio.
Lennon was in the studio to play rhythm guitar on Bowie's version on "Across the Universe," and when they finished, they decided to work on what became "Fame." Lennon chopped at an F chord and cried out "Aim," which Bowie said he added an F to -- he credited Lennon for the energy of the session. Lennon said the intro/bridge is "a Stevie Wonder song played backwards."
At some point Bowie and Lennon went to dinner and Alomar stayed behind to work on the overlapping electric guitar parts while he had the mojo working. By the time they got back, the electric guitar was done. Apparently all the electric parts were Alomar. I don't think Bowie actually played guitar on it at all.
Been awhile bro ..
Great to see you back ..
Rhythm guitar is so much more interesting to me than lead, and it's so hard to convince my IRL teacher that I'm not lying to him about that. Thank you for all this gold!
This is great Eric, I'd love to see a video that's the inverse of this
Already done man!
How to Sound Good on Acoustic (for electric guitarists)

@@EricHaugenGuitar oh whoops! Thanks Eric, love what you do!
Exactly right about palm/frethand mutes. Big advantage of electric over acoustic guitars is electrics have much more sustain. And with more natural sustain you have to learn to cut the notes whereas acoustics notes naturally fade quickly making power and repeated notes more necessary for the style.
So cool that Eric made the apparently random choice to use Bowie riffs to illustrate this subject (although Bowie himself made the transition from acoustic to electric). I particularly liked the breakdown of the Fame parts. It never occurred to me that Bowie himself might have played the 'bending out of tune' fuzz part on that song. Great to hear a Weezer reference slip in too, while 'trying to stay Bowie'.
I have the same peace sign and dove guitar strap as you in brown and white! -live my Souldier strap!
Great lesson! I am in a bluegrass/old country/ lite rock band switching between banjo and electric guitar. I have dabbled with the electric guitar for years, but am new to playing it live .Dealing with the gear and sound is a learning experience in itself!
Thank you, Eric.
I regularly hop between acoustic, electric, and bass. It's good to have a reminder/ refresher every once in a while.
Also, its kinda hard to go wrong with anything Bowie
🍕
I bought an electric after playing acoustic and was disillusioned because i sounded terrible, so this video is right on the money! Cheers Eric. Good video.
I’m a acoustic rhythm player and have been struggling with my electric guitar since I got it,this should help me out quite a bit. Thanks
Your videos inspired me to try true fire and get a membership. Your teaching style is fantastic and I’m truly glad I found your channel. Thank you!
Like this one.
Do more on this, please.
Learning to transfer what I can do on an acoustic to electric has been a pretty steep learning curve.
The gear being the steepest part.
I've always assumed the fuzz part in Fame is John Lennon! I know he's on there somewhere (and co-wrote the song). Wikipedia says he's credited as playing acoustic guitar, but that lick reminds me a lot of his playing on Abbey Road's The End and some stuff on Plastic Ono Band.
We'll probably never know for sure, but that's still my hunch
I was going to say this!
Awesome video! Exactly the type of info i need. I really enjoyed the “acoustic guitar for electric players” too. Ive been trying to learn both acoustic and electric and its frustrating to try to use the same approach to both sometimes. Helps to understand the differences in the nature of the instrument. Id be happy to get more like those two!
Thank you again, Eric!
Thanks! You are always the GOAT
Awwww thanks so much!
I'm in for first time..wow !Great lesson!!!!
Double thumbs up Eric!!! Overdrive- the edge of the breakup. Great description. What you call “furry” I call “growl”. Hard to explain to the keyboard player lol. It seems so elusive sometimes. And demoing the deference between fuzz and overdrive was great.
The light bulb really went on when you talked about WHY to learn riffs and grooves. That’s the way to sound like a rock n roll guitar player.
I’m more of a rhythm player at the moment, so these lessons are gold. Spot on!
Loved this lesson! Carlos Alomar is such an underappreciated player (as is Bowie IMO).I'm pretty sure most all the guitar on Fame is Carlos w/ Bowie on the heavier riff and John Lennon playing the acoustic.
Great teacher,great lesson! ‘Loved you putting the lesson in the context of Bowie songs. Thank you very much!!
Every lesson you give playing that Starcaster makes me want one:)
I wish this came out a few months ago when I was moving to electric guitar.
Still some fun stuff in here. As always, thanks!
A good healthy dose of Eric is exactly what I needed this evening. I always appreciate the excellent work Eric shares with us, and this week was a bit rougher for me than usual - just life stuff, it shall pass - and a little time listening to and learning from Eric is superb.
Happy Friday to all. Eat pizza.
Hang in there Boomer! 🤙🤙
Little did we know that Eric is Eric clapton's brother.
Kidding aside, great video as always.
Great lessons, tips and advice in guitar playing
Great guitar player and even greater guitar teacher and you might the most chill guitar player out there!
Thanks Man! Keep it up! 💪👍

Thank you again, Eric!
And the fact that you include tab on a free video.
You fucking rock, bro!
Def one of my guitar mentors 🍻
Oh Eric this was super helpful! Time to learn some Bowie! Have more rep recommendations is amazing. Coming over from classical guitar I’m having the hardest time using a pick, so this helps makes sense of it. Would to see even more on right hand technique!
Brilliant insight into a very complex instrument. Helps tons!
Props for the excellent backing tracks, as always.
Great video . Informative and concise. He respects the strings!
Really enjoyed. Good practical for intermediate.
This is awesome. Such good content and aptly demonstrated. Thanks so much.
“Fuzz is fuzz”! Great T shirt 😊
Great content, amazing riff choices
Thanks Eric. I felt like this lesson was just for me. Lol. Thanks for being a great teacher
Intro song was 🔥
You got to say that you got to listen to the record and play along with bowie .. Some songs are really awesome easy and some of them are really hard because of wierd chord pregressions ..
I am huge fan of Bowie .. They have here in strore the same squier as you have eric in red color .. Maybe i buy it because i like the looks .. First i try it tommorow
I Love this. You are so awesome.
Absolutely outstanding info! Thank you!
Thank you so much. Great video.
What a fantastic video have a wonderful weekend Eric ❤😊
alomar/murray/davis rhythm section undefeated
Learned on a cheap acoustic starting in 1991. Huge strings, high action, 18 yr old passion to Just Go For It and I feel personally attacked by this video(in the best way). On a more serious note, I'd hazard a guess that for players getting a little long in the tooth(I hit 50 in a month), these technique tips are going to make achy/less nimble parts less of a hinderance to work around. Lots of muscle memory to unlearn that's for sure.
Right there with you! I turn 50 next week.
Super helpful thank you!
Thank you Eric
Thanks!
Thanks so much Scott!
Fame,great riff
Pure awesomeness!
Great vid as always!
Interesting you have some high end guitars but started with the Squire,how do you find that starcaster ? Is it all standard? Curious cheers love your stuff bud thanks to my mate Derek who put me onto you 👍
Of course you start with Bowie ❤️
How do you like that Dusky amp?
There aren't any satisfactory reviews on it 🫤
I'd love to hear your take....
I know a weakness I have is strumming too hard, digging too hard. It's hard to control the energy when i get enthusiastic. But again and again i see my 'heros' saying play light. Discipline!
Great video!
Eric Haugen Haugs Again…The Haugening!
I love David Bowie!
excellent knowledge sharing......!!
Hey guys, any tips on how to improve picking accuracy? I find when I try to solo it can easily get sloppy. Maybe just a thing that gets better over time?
I once had an invite to jam with a coworker after work and all he knew was note for note Steve Vai type lead guitar but he couldn’t play anything else like rhythm guitar or even a simple chord progression. Needless to say we haven’t jammed since.
Nice strap!
Hi Eric, I've never seen your amp before, something new? Is it possible to get edge of breakup on a Fender Mustang no tubes amp. It does have a Power volume. The only tube amp I have is a stage right 5 watt Monoprice, I live in an apartment.😊
can you add rhythm notation to your tabs? i can't tell if those are whole/quarter/eighth notes that you are playing other than guessing
I buyed a Squier StarCaster thanks to Eric hahaha .. Hope my girlfriend likes it too hahaha LOL
Sick!
Bowie FTW!
This will sound weird but where are your glasses frames from?
Haugen and Bukovac chat would be something
Maaaaan I'd love that!
@@EricHaugenGuitar The two youtube taste masters, here's hoping!
ur awesome
David Bowie Forever! 🤩
Don't wake up the Pete Townshend in you! 😆🎸🎵😎
Ez jó lett
Why switch guitars?
What is that guitar you use at 7:30?
✌️😌🎸
Noice
does tomato quiche count as an egg pizza? XD
My right hand is my downfall
It seems like how pianists have to work on pedal technique...
