"I don't deal in hot licks" - love it! Your style is direct and the way you break things down is so approachable.
That has got to be a tshirt!
Re runs in the background! Perfect sir😅 💯
Dude i love your approach. Awesome 😎
This is a godsend. Just recently started trying to wrap my head around intervals, but was getting frustrated as I didn't know how to approach practicing them. CAGED makes so much sense I should've thought of it. Can't thank you enough for all you do!
Yes!
Thanks for the great video! Appreciate it.
Would you be willing to Tab out a great live version of "Look out miss Ohio" by Dave "The Rave" Raww for a one on one zoom sesh?
Thanks again dude!
You’re the single reason i feel like i actually understand the real value of CAGED. Thank you, Eric!
I can second that!
Thirded!
Yup
This hit my In Box, so of course I immediately grabbed my guitar and started watching it. Fantastic work, as always, from Eric. I'm about halfway through this and I now need to pause it because of a -- (lets out grunt of annoyance) -- work meeting. How dare they interrupt this important moment for me! Alas, duty calls. I shall return.
I really loved this lesson. I’ve been on a personal journey to get better at guitar and I’ve just immersed myself in caged, triads, and pentatonics. This lesson really helped add one more layer to the whole thing. Thank you so much.
Love your approach to teaching. I’m currently in the middle of my second Eric H course on TrueFire. I’ve noticed over time how your “laid back” approach to instruction - slowly layering in with lots of intentional repetition - works hand in hand with muscle memory. I don’t know how many times I’ve spent an hour or two playing simple grooves and fills with your courses on TrueFire, and then several days later realized my ears and hands seem to intuitively know what they’ve heard and where to go next. Thank you for being such an impactful contribution to the music-making community!
Did you just try to slip a six million dollar man reference past us?!?
Sir that is DISRESPECTFUL TO THE TONAL CENTER. HOW DARE YOU. 😛
You teach music, not guitar gymnastics! Thank you!
Man, I swear you have a crystal ball and know exactly what I need to work on. You're the best in the business, sir. Thank you!
i love the way you teach eric thank you for uploading all this
Great lesson. Thanks, Eric
Man, that tone is so good. Like, you’re just demonstrating a simple exercise, but somehow it’s the coolest music I’ve heard all day.
Great lesson, as always. Appreciate all you do.
Excellent Eric, very helpful. Thanks.
Adding different flavours to the fundamental pitch - that really is a great way to think about it!
Absolutely fantastic video have a wonderful weekend ❤😊
You talk about your brain alot. And your playing. How does your brain think about your playing after ...say...2 cold beers on a hot summer day?
How would your brain think musically after...say...1 cold beer and 2 shots of tequila?
Does your musical brain operate more or less efficiently on your preferred stimulant or stone cold sober?
I think the people who "don't know the theory" still "know" the intervals, but by ear. They are like the more athletic people who can simply watch a movement and then imitate it. But most people need to have at least some of the particulars ("put your left arm at 45 degrees....") pointed out so that they can practice it ant THEN it becomes second nature.
I think of learning the fretboard the same way. I super focus of what I am doing when practicing to get it into my ears and fingers and then I am barely thinking about any of it when I actually play.
The thing is that the "naturals" are the worst teachers (and coaches). We might want to steal their moves, but they can't do anything aside from play it slow for us to learn it. Us normies can contextualize and verbalize it.
One Eric Haugen video. 21 minutes.
Time to put it into practice?
Who cares, it has to be done. I'm good to go for the next several years.
People are saying I've improved a lot at Guitar recently, I have been doing some of these lessons.
Yup I will begin annoying my wife with this exercise. After I get it under my fingers and into my ears, I’ll change the single note interval into a shell chord to help me place the rest of my chords into the caged boxes.
To me knowing how to play a one chord at the 5 locations isn’t very practical, I need to know how to play the progressions in all 5 boxes.
The way you explain these concepts clicks with my ADHD brain and i just wanna say thank you!
Another perfectly helpful video. One little build on the targeting exercise…after landing on, say, the 6, find the note above and the one below…then two notes above and two notes below. It just naturally builds on the base you’ve created and before long all the dots overlap and connect so nicely. Thank you again.
Yeah man, love it. I dont play real fast either, but I find having that groove and soul is so much more satisfying.
This is a great lesson Eric, I always find myself falling into the trap of playing a lot of notes for playing sake rather than ‘feeling’ the notes I’m playing to create a mood within the melody lines. Will be practicing this a lot, thanks :-)
referring all my guitar students to this video
This is the lesson I've been waiting for all my life. Can’t wait to geek out on this one. Thank you so much!!
That flat 6.....so much pain in there...
Step 1: Stop using CAGED.
Great lesson!
Curious though...how much does that Gibson cost? Thanks
According to the description it's an Epi not a Gibson ;-) and I guess custom pickups...oh and I watch this great lesson today on a Friday and I ate pizza! 🙂
Hey Eric, when you're doing the groove exercise are you generally resolving the interval to the "correct" place (7th to the root etc), or are you randomly selecting somewhere else in the scale to get a handle on all of the potential jumps?
Sure why not try that too!
Thanks you son much sir y'r the best
Coll. I love this. Thank you.
You, sir, are an asset to the musical world! Thank you!!!
what's your favorite kind of sandwich?
Rueben! No wait BLT! Meatball parm! I CANT CHOOSE
I don't refer to the A minor scale as having the intervals from C either. HOWEVER, instead of modifying the CAGED pattern to see the Am scale coming from the A CAGED pattern, why not just see it coming from the C pattern? The C pattern from the CAGED system doesn't start on C anyway, it starts on E and ends on the high G, and you have to see the C chord pattern within it. So you can just as easily see the Am pattern within it (with no modification whatsoever) as well and still be thinking all intervals from A. That makes more sense to me. Is this a common CAGED debate or am I just a freak?
What do you mean by C pattern on CAGED system
Yeah that works too! The only thing is - when chords change you've got to do some recalculating very quickly.
Like if a progression was E - G#m - A - C#m it's quicker for me to think of those chords directly, instead of looking for a B (and then the G#m inside that), and the C#m inside the E.
But if that makes sense to you do it that way!
Do you need to know the scale shapes to know the intervals? Or can you just play intervals without knowing the scale shapes and still jam in a specific key? In other words, are scale shapes just collections of intervals?
I would learn the shape first - that way there’s a physical/auditory thing going on before the mental 🤙
Awesome! Thank you!
It’s hilarious to me that I know all this, but I don’t dooooo this. Not enough anyways. Thank you for telling me to do this teach. Intervals are life, each one is a character with something to say.
“Muppet head” 😂 yes- respect minors and their intervals looool always ..
You really love that guitar. And it’s dark pickups. 😁 I do too. Nice round mellowness. Suits a mellow guy.
great stuff. "that's disrespectful to the tonal center of Em" Preach Brother Haugen! I love minor keys and I'm tired of acting like major keys are more important.
I've been playing for 40-odd years and consider myself a decent guitarist, but I ALWAYS learn something and get inspiration from Eric. It's all incredibly musical/yrical etc. It doesn't sound like some sort of Calculus II exercise.
If you're just discovering Mr. Haugen on RUclips and this lesson seems helpful, I would highly recommend his lessons on TrueFire around the CAGED system. I've found these lessons and his whole approach to be massively helpful.
Can't tell you how much I have learnt from your videos..... absolute legend!!
Thanks!
woow what a lesson
Awesome video. great exercises! I dig the attitude, the info and that fu*kin' guitar is beautiful.
I love the focus on intervals and tuning you ears and fingers to their sound over (or just after) the chord! I will be trying out this practice technique with as much discipline as I can muster. Starting with minor scale as you've fone here, but then gradually stepping through different chords (major and extended) and scales (major and pentatonics). Seems like it should be super effective mind-drilling for all of them!
Hi Eric, im encouraged to wright to you because I feel like im in a cooking tv programm watching you playing and teaching so chill...
I don't have any patience for gate-keepers. Thanks for keeping them open for us.
I didn’t know Marc Ribot played an Explorer!?
Great as always, just what I needed.
A thought those folks whom you excuse and say this may not be for them… instead ask them to try it a little bit.
A little like trying to get my kid to eat avacado, she loved it at first bite but I can’t put in writing what I had to do to get that first bite passed her lips
Another super useful video, thanks Eric! Go Heels
Thank you! I think this will help me get the sound/feel of the intervals so I can more quickly play whats in my head before losing it.
This is really great, Eric. It's hard for me to go this slow (and to NOT noodle), but I really need to. It's the only way I'm going to improve at this point. And thank you for rescuing relative minors from their oppressive major-key overlords!
Spot on. The means of “gatekeeping” from the musical “authorities” keeps the caged in the background. Thank you for sharing 🎸
So many words of wisdom in this one Eric! 11:47 "I don't think I need to explain why that's useful." definitely not - that's like, the first and the last thing! Everything we do is in the service of deliberately making the sound we want to hear
No matter what, I really like your teaching style and appreciate your playing. I think you re an excellent player.
🎶
Money... we make it
before we see it, you take it
da-da da da da
?
ha man I don't know what it is but you're a really interesting guy and an awesome teacher. Thanks a lot for making this.
Valuable information Eric. Thanks!
I don't remember a lesson I think will be as powerful as this one, as easy to remember when I get to the guitar. Best of your videos FOR ME
Keeping it real, thanks Eric. This little session is a perfect complement to your Caged course which I started a couple of weeks back. Thanks.
Smoked paprika is the best. Thx for the upload
Fantastic Eric!
I come for the Firebird and stay for the investable insight and music sensibility.
Wonderful lesson. This is such a good way to teach this concept. I look forward to introducing this idea of playing grooves and then melodies to my students.
Im a marshall man but this hiwatt deal has me intrigued....Great sound
and the gibson is tops.
Great Job as always! I have been trying to memorize Dorian and Mixolydian. This is going to help!
You must not have kids. Your house is always so clean. I would love to come draw on your walls
this must be one of the most helpful guitar videos on youtube, at least for non-noodlers! Thanks man!
Yay! Another fun, groovin’ exercise idea.
Thank you for a tool that will be invaluable- thanks for keeping it simple too!
Great lesson Eric as always, keep on keeping on👍🖖✌️
i feel like this is how godspeed you black emperor write songs
Firebird.. When you want your guitar to also be a coffee table!
fantastic lesson. Thank you.
Gold data! Bird’s the werd Maestro!
this is like if Freemasons had guitar lessons
Thank you, Eric!✌️😌🎸
I always seem to gravitate to the minor as the home sound
Total aside: when you said "Queue the comments" RUclips inserted an Old Spice ad with the Dolph Lundgren dude spraying his armpit and going , "ah". lol.
🤌 perfection
Wish I had you as a teacher back in the 90s
You are the six million dollar man, man !
Mind blown. Subscribed
Hey Eric. I love your stuff, thanks for posting this. But aren't you talking about Scale Degrees, not Intervals? An interval is a musical distance, but once you pin it down as a tone within a scale, isn't it better to call it a scale degree?
Not for me - I like to keep my major and minor scale degrees separate by making sure the “flat” is part of the vocabulary.
Orange Cassidy reference? 😉
This was so handy thank you so much!!❤
You're the most wholesome youtuber ❤
Just beautiful, just beautiful.
What a glorious flex 🎉
Hey Eric, I remember there was a video where you talked about getting a new neck on one of your guitars. Was that a Warmoth? How's that working out?
I talk about it in this vid:
ruclips.net/video/ivawyOl309o/видео.html
The warmoth is great, I just wish I got the fatter neck profile. I got "boatneck" but it's still kinda skinny
Great stuff. Now I need to go watch some Jim Jarmusch films. :-)
Always a good idea!
What language of notation are them fret marks in? Never seen that before. Thanks again and again for keeping me moving along on my musical journey.
The triangle is shorthand for “major” - I dunno how that became the thing!
P = perfect
Groove and fill. Love it.
Great lesson Eric
Thanks Eric!
Great lesson!
Is this an upcoming TrueFire Guitar Zen course I see before me?
I was just down in FL shooting a sequel to the CAGED one, and a series on Modes.
I realized that THIS is the thing behind everything!
