I saw that too and made it the video thumbnail! In the hundreds of vids I've done, I've never had a lens flare like that! I'd love to think it was a little bit of Amy's spirit stopping by to approve of my playing :-)
One word: EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't think there is not another Superlative to define this presentation. Thank you for sharing.
Man, I love you're playing, style and sound. All the little dissonant moment, diminished intervals, interesting triads etc. Just love it. Great, great, great.
Thanks so much Lorcan! I never really think too much about what my style is - it's kinda a big ol' pile of different influences :-) In this arrangement, I think there's Marc Ribot, Chet Atkins, and maybe even some Ry Cooder rhythm stuff.
@@EricHaugenGuitar it's because of you that I'm aware of Marc Ribot. I've been a fan of Tom Waits for some time, and particularly the choppy guitar playing on his "Rain dogs" album, but I never considered looking in to who played the guitar on that album until I was introduced to it through your channel. I love how it can sound both choppy and rough around the edges, yet jazzy and sophisticated at the same time. You should check out the theme music from the very funny 90s British sitcom called "Black books". I think that it's theme and all of its soundtrack is very clearly influenced by Marc Ribot's playing. Are you aware of Nels Cline? If so, I'd love to hear your thoughts on his playing, maybe even a video ;)
Oh yeah someone told me about that theme song! And yeah, Nels has that choppy-jazzy thing going on too! I transcribed one of his more country-ish solos on Wilco's "California Stars": ruclips.net/video/kIom-5lRhR0/видео.html
@@EricHaugenGuitar Thanks so much for your replies man, It's really appreciated. I'll be keeping an eye out for any and all new content. You rock dude!
Thanks so much Mando! I like so many different artists, and so often stuff that's not very guitar-centric, so it's really satisfying to guitar-ify great melodies like this one. And then it's extra-cool when so many people around the world dig what I do!
Really nicely played. I didn't notice until I heard your arpeggio that this is pretty much careless whisper by Wham. If anyone out there wanted to do a sexy sax man solo, it fits nicely.
Thanks Sjaak! I've probably said it before, but for me, the song is thing. I love guitar tricks and heroics, but if it's not in the context of a good song, I'll get bored pretty quick :-)
For me the day started here. I started practicing along your lesson. Everything was going smooth, until I needed a rest and the words 'marc ribot' would keep bouncing all over the place. I hadn't heard of him, pardon my ignorance, but then I went after his music and fell in love. At first sight. And after this, Ry Cooder. All thanks to you. Now, 5 hours later I'm trying to mix your Ry Cooder right hand technique with Toquinho's 'Tarde em Ituapuã', as I know you're also a Bossa Nova fan, I'm sure you'll know either him or this song. Anyways, I started admiring your playing and arrangement and style and now I'm head over heels different guitarists and genres. All this to say: thank you, Eric. I'm having fun with a guitar for a few weeks after some years of admiring the instrument, but not picking it up. This I owe greatly to you. Cheers!
Love that Marc Robot reference.. It's not what's correct but what works for the song. Even Elvis understood that...He refused to do another take because there might be a small mistake with one note..
Eric this is so fantastic! For me, she was hands down the most talented female artist of her/this generation. Have you seen the documentary? Thanks for doing this- would be great to hear more of her material in this way
I know! What a loss! Addiction, man. What a monster! Wanna know something crazy I just noticed? "Careless Whisper" and this song are almost exactly the same chord progression! I sense a mashup coming :-)
@@EricHaugenGuitar . Haha Careless whisper- i hear it man- good spot! Mark Ronson needs to be told since he wrote the piano riff! George Micheal did a killer version of her tune 'Love is A Losing Game' on the Symphonica tour.Also linking you to this interview-watch when free- so funny/talented- she also loved Hendrix - you will dig it! ruclips.net/video/n9bG6Q5rPJY/видео.html
Just took delivery of a Starfire IV with the harp tail piece. I absolutely love it. I should have taken the plunge a long time ago. It is really a nice guitar - 335 Killer fur sure. I need to up my playing by a long shot to deserve it!
.. and life just feels smoother (if that means anything) Great job, Thanks (eventually, you could say the notes sometimes and not just the numbers for the tab)
Thanks Bruno! Usually I say the chord progression and then fret numbers because I'm trying to split the difference for folks like you who know their notes on the fretboard, and folks who kinda don't. If I said every note I played it would make the tutorial part much more in depth, but also take much more time and I know how impatient people can be :-)
Thanks! I always list all the tools I use in the description box under the video: Rig Rundown: 2018 Guild Starfire III - Strymon Deco - Silvertone 1484 - WGS G12Q Speaker - Rode NTR Active Ribbon Mic - Art Tube Mp Preamp - Tascam DR-40 Field Recorder - Garageband - Valhalla Effects Vintage Verb
I always put a list of all the gadgets I use in the description box below the vid :-) Basically, all of the overdrive is coming from the strymon deco "tape saturation" mode. I've owned dozens of overdrives, and that part of that pedal works the best for me!
Eric Haugen very nice I was thinking there is a pedal steel guitar default on GarageBand, but no I don’t have a pedal steel but love Daniel Lanois’ ambient interpretations of the instrument Do you do any pedal steel videos ? Lazy bastard, I’ve not even looked
Yup the old verbal typo. dangit! I shoot my vids in batches of 5, so luckily this is the last one with that error. I'm shooting more next week and I'll make sure that I just say "slash" :-)
0:16 min. Amy did join you for a twinkling second here in the window corner.
I saw that too and made it the video thumbnail!

Man I love your videos. As a gigging musician I am always looking up songs and landing on your page. I play bass but your lessons help me immensely
soo gentle playing andteaching...
for me there's years of inspiration inside
Thanks man!
R.I.P. Amy Winehouse - what a loss for us all! 🙌
Really nicely played. I didn't notice until I heard your arpeggio that this is pretty much careless whisper by Wham. If anyone out there wanted to do a sexy sax man solo, it fits nicely.
Eric you have the talent to show us “hidden or secret” melodies and chords in common known hits we never would have thought of in a million years.
Thanks Sjaak!
I've probably said it before, but for me, the song is thing. I love guitar tricks and heroics, but if it's not in the context of a good song, I'll get bored pretty quick :-)
Eric Haugen haha! I see what you mean.
One of the greatest guitarists among the whole Tube!
Aw shucks thanks man!
I just try and do these classic tunes justice by coming up with interesting arrangements that are fun to play :-)
Vive le Amy!
That was definitely Haugentastic! Worth the price of admission for the Marc Ribot/Wes Montgomery lick alone.
Thanks David!
Yeah, that slick 9th down to 9th is such a beautiful maneuver.

I didn't know that song but I just googled it and now I love it!
Thanks to the magic of the internet we can stay curious and amazed!
Superb choice! And as always flawlessly executed 👍👍
Thanks Steve!
It's a gloriously gloomy weekend here in NC - thunderstorms and darkness. This song fits right in!
Unbelievable!!!!!! So good !!!!! Well played and great arranging style.
Thanks so much man!
I was trying to capture the Amy/Ronson vibes, but with a little of my own jazzy thing :-)
Eric. Il have an audition for a band in a few days and I Will play your arrangement for this song. Thank you for it. Great quality as always
Good luck! This should clinch it for ya!
Rhythm is key for playing in a group situation - make sure you lay into that pocket like a boss!
Thank you. I think I got it pretty well now.
Love that Marc Robot reference.. It's not what's correct but what works for the song. Even Elvis understood that...He refused to do another take because there might be a small mistake with one note..
So tasteful, great version.

Nice one, Eric. One of my favorite songs.
She's so great!
Next up, I gotta find a way to recreate Valerie. I think that could be gorgeous 🎵
Very very smooth man... It's like having a taste of 'ear candy' every time I see one of your vid notifications show up inbox man...
Thanks Walt!
That's the idea - inspiring and clever little tune snacks.
Kinda like a cheese plate!
Priceless job u r great man...
Thanks so much!
Rest in power, Amy! 🙌 🙌 🙌

Ooooh awesome congrats! What color did you get?
I really want them to release a natural finish polara with bigbsy - I’d be all over that!
@@EricHaugenGuitar The red mahogany one. I am completely blown away by how nice it is. Playing through one of the little Fender champ reissues.
Nice! The classic cherry look! I love those little champs too - good combo!
This is serious guitar stuff!! gotta love this guy :D
Dude thanks ol' buddy!
Viva le Amy!
This is amazing! A bit too technical for me but inspiring all the same. Thank you
Thanks so much!
Lol just when I thought you couldn’t surprise me. Awesome!
You know me!
I'm always hopping around from artist to artist like a little tone bunny 🐇

Beautiful and great fun... wasn’t the original played by Tommy Brenneck? Thanks for the Ribot/Wes lick :-) All the best, Eric.
Thanks Andy!
You're probably right - I haven't googled it. He's certainly a player worthy of some study!
Thanks Eric, he’s a great player, if it is him... check his work with the late Sharon Jones and Charles Bradley .. all the best to you.
Красавчик 👍🙂

3 n 3 on the g n b
so cool
Who’s doing the pedal steel in the backing track? Or is that on GarageBand?
Thanks Steve!
That's me on pedal steel on the backing track - I do all my work in Garageband. It's so fun and easy to use!
Eric Haugen very nice
I was thinking there is a pedal steel guitar default on GarageBand, but no
I don’t have a pedal steel but love Daniel Lanois’ ambient interpretations of the instrument
Do you do any pedal steel videos ?

Cool nerd, though! The coolest, man. I love your playing, and your teaching. Thanks Eric.
Thanks Karl!
I'm all about leaning into who we really are, no pretense, no insecurities :-)
👍
how odd, we put this one in the rep a month ago..must be zeitgeist simpatico or ESP... nice one as ever..
Very cool!
I think we're definitely on the same wavelength, my brother across the pond 🇬🇧🍻

Consider the Wes/Marc lick gratefully stolen
frankvaleron I stole it from Eric ages ago. I use it all the time now
Yes! It's such a great maneuver!
This made me think of Chris Rea.
Cool!
I wasn't familiar with him and just looked at his wiki page - now I gotta check him out!
@@EricHaugenGuitar OK, I think I was hearing shades of The Road to Hell, probably Rea's biggest hit. Love your lessons, by the way!
Lol cause ...:nerd
I know who I am.
wrong
Brilliant 👏
