@@PabPapp1 Songwriting is a different skill set than playing an instrument. A master guitarist can make a whole career playing parts on existing songs, and many prefer that to songwriting. If you are looking to learn songwriting, there are some great RUclips channels dedicated to that.
I’ve experienced the same feeling and have just subscribed. For that very reason and the fact Eric is always in the most tasteful of zones. The first video I watched was a pedal steel video of his. I love playing guitar but also found that extremely interesting.
It’s crazy how much Hendrix and Clapton styles have on us now. Double stops and major/min pentatonic and then trills. So so good. It’s everywhere. From Led Better, Mayer, to I could die a happy man country stuff and Stapleton, to Wild Rivers, to basically anything good. 😊
You have so many unique god-tier video ideas. It’s refreshing to see concept based videos like this and not just the usual “blues scale soloing.” For sure will be purchasing your course
Eric, I've watched hundreds of hours of online "lessons". Somehow, I've missed you until now. Something in your approach has clicked and I've broken through a wall. You're speaking and playing in a way that I connect with. I can feel a lot of floating ideas coalescing into a coherent picture. It feels "next level"!! Thanks for being there, man!
Man, you have found your calling. Very cool. You are speaking my language. This is what I have have been missing in my guitar playing. Great sounding set up you have. I’m all in.
“If the chord progression is dope you don’t have to do that much” This right here! If the progression and melody are awesome this is so so easy to do! My singer/songwriter always compliments my playing and I’m just like, girl! You wrote a dope at melody/chord progression, I’m just following along!
Great lesson, Eric! The corner of the guitar universe you're talking about is indeed the place we all seek to be - it's the key to truly making music, rather than repeating memorized riffs. If you're a solo player that wants to sound like a band, it's a necessity. Your walk through the fundamentals to get us seeing how to run like pros is a revelation. A shout out to Wes Montgomery, who's use of the octave interval taught all the Pentatonic rockers how to put sparkle in a lead line.
Thank you for this remarkable lesson, that is very generous of you, I understand it evolved from your education and many hours of commitment to the instrument! Im looking forward to purchasing your new course, and because of your tremendously professional and customer friendly website, I look forward to purchasing the short version lessons. Many of the online purchase sites are confusing and do not welcome pay pal. Awesome Everything! Thank you!
PERHAPS YOU COUD DO SOME VIDEOS, TO EXPLAIN, AND DEMONSTRATE THE BASICS, AND USES OF "DOUBLE-STOPS"?! IT'S SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SOUND, BUT, I HAVEN'T FOUND MUCH INFO ABOUT THIS TOPIC!
In 5 bloody minutes you've explained CAGED better than a DOZEN long winded, complex courses have ever done!! You made it USEABLE! Man, I really will "help a brutha out" after this!! Now, on to the rest of the video..............😎👍
Love, love, love Bob Weir's incredible guitar playing, which I honestly believe is far too overlooked. His use of inversions and unusual and unexpected rhythms...just absolutely spectacular.
Your tone and feel is always spot on and keeps getting better and better. Very inspiring. I’m a fan of your aesthetics too. The plants and colors. That new guitar sounds and looks amazing. Thanks for the great content. I’m gonna check out that Idles song. I didn’t realize they had melodic stuff. I remember them as more thrash punk.
IDLES have some great stuff on these last few records that really covers a lot of ground and I think expands to some easier jumping in points! I second everything you mentioned, Eric you’ve been helping me out for years and the videos keep getting better. Thank you!
I am a first-time visitor (of many I am sure). Thanks for the clearest approach to this ever. I am an older, advanced player that should have been on this approach long ago. Never too late to expand! Happy to drop you a cup of coffee. Cheers!
I love that you did an IDLES song, because I haven't been keeping up with their most recent stuff. It sent me down a rabbit hole of trying to figure out their guitar style and listening to Crawler. much appreciated.
First time watching your channel, I am throughly impressed by your method of teaching. I’ve been playing on and off the last 12 years and there is easily one of my concise videos I’ve seen. I’ll will different purchase your course.
Thanks for the heads up on your new course. Purchased. My summer goal - watch all four of your Truefire videos, pick one to focus on and work through it in detail.
Congrats on the awesome tone, and beautiful guitar. I love how it also appears to have been masterfully fashioned from the tree that used to nobly stand on the corner, just down the street...
Hi Eric I has been following your channel for some time and I love the way you put "stuff" to the purpose of made music, I pre-order you course and I got it already, I want to go deep with it and consolidate the bunch of concepts that I am starting to being able to use properly to enjoy creating music with rhythm, fills, leads... Thank you so much for all you lessons and the courses, you are a great player and a great teacher. Best wishes to you Eric! (btw: this lesson is an extremely useful compendium of the magic of having everything related in music and guitar)
Hey Eric, I've seen a few of your videos and they're always instructive and inspiring. But what makes the neck of that guitar ' the best ever' ? Thanks for the great lessons. ( Nice plants ☘️)
As someone who typically picks things up extremely quickly, guitar has always kept me interested since it is one of the few things where I have had to put in the work to see results.
Hey Eric, i just bought your CAGED online course and definitely learned a lot! Would you recommend continuing with the one about soloing or the one about going with the changes? I can only afford one of these per month right now so your recommendation would mean so much!
The highest tier of guitar mastery lives between rhythm and lead! We should all strive to work toward it. Thanks for the tips!
yes but can you make a good song?

It just makes sense that my two favourite guitar related channels are aware of each other hahahahaga, glad to see you here Andre!
Nice to see you here! Just saw your SG vid, pretty much all the same opinions 😂
@@PabPapp1 Mastering guitar and song writing are 2 different skill sets
I love IDLES so much. If everybody felt their music like they do, the world would be an even better place.
Version of this song on From the Basement is amazing
You're a very calming presence in my life right now, I appreciate the Zen approach you have to music

Why dont you listen to some Ike Turner, Buddy Guy and Freddie King.Without those three, there would have been no Jimi or Eric.
Also checkout some Texan Clint Strong who played with Merle Haggard.Clint was a prodigy under Howard Roberts.
HAPPY LISTENING!
You have so many unique god-tier video ideas. It’s refreshing to see concept based videos like this and not just the usual “blues scale soloing.” For sure will be purchasing your course
Thank you Eric, I have to say that I have never been so happy to support a creator, I really appreciate what you do.
Thank you Jean - I really appreciate it!

Look at this guitar! When the changes are DOPE...you don't have to shoehorn something in! Love you.
Thanks Timothy ! 🧡 !
Man, you have found your calling. Very cool. You are speaking my language. This is what I have have been missing in my guitar playing. Great sounding set up you have. I’m all in.

WOW!! THANK YOU, ERIC, FOR THIS INCREDIBLE DEMO/LESSON!! THAT'S A VERY NICE LOOKING, AND, SOUNDING GUITAR!!
That space is where I live. Thanks for this one, Eric.
That's a badass guitar. Thanks for the great lesson!
Great Channel! I have surfed many channels, but Eric shows better paths for playing and understanding the guitar.
Thanks for all the great content! Really appreciate your approach to teaching as well as your playing. Keep on being awesome.

Check out this vid I talk more about them:
ruclips.net/video/3-p5lcVP-t0/видео.html
Perhaps you could take Caps On off!
Best music channel on RUclips at the moment. Thank you so much for this!
That guitar is so off the charts... so is your playing. Cheers...
That intro..... what a sound!
In 5 bloody minutes you've explained CAGED better than a DOZEN long winded, complex courses have ever done!! You made it USEABLE! Man, I really will "help a brutha out" after this!! Now, on to the rest of the video..............😎👍
Playing the changes is a great course title. Can’t wait to check it out!
been thinking on this topic a lot recently - studying bob weir especially! v excited to dig into this
Love, love, love Bob Weir's incredible guitar playing, which I honestly believe is far too overlooked. His use of inversions and unusual and unexpected rhythms...just absolutely spectacular.
Weir is the master when it comes to this style of guitar playing. Criminally underrated!
Thanks, Eric! The essential info is here. You are right.

Wow…that second Eric looks groovy! Great to know there’s two of you. Classic Haugen, right here. Thank you mentor, as always, great stuff. Take care
My brother fed my face into an AI art generator :-)
I am a first-time visitor (of many I am sure). Thanks for the clearest approach to this ever. I am an older, advanced player that should have been on this approach long ago. Never too late to expand! Happy to drop you a cup of coffee. Cheers!
What a cool concept that rarely gets addressed. Cool lesson!
New viewer. Fantastic lesson. I subbed.
June 5th is my birthday. What an amazing present for myself! Great video, as always.
That guitar sounds incredible.
Beautiful tone. Beautiful playing. Beautiful guitar. Thank you for the lesson.
I love that you did an IDLES song, because I haven't been keeping up with their most recent stuff. It sent me down a rabbit hole of trying to figure out their guitar style and listening to Crawler. much appreciated.
0:56 Dang, I love this chord.
Excellent lesson Eric, as always.
what a freaking-killer instrument.
beautiful and naturally inspiring to play?! imho so, so, cool!
i think it's a callaham brigsy or tele. no cares i know. i just like it.
Another excellent vid
Really solid recap of such fine fundamentals. Grabbing the new coarse now. Bravo, brother. Bravo.
First time watching your channel, I am throughly impressed by your method of teaching. I’ve been playing on and off the last 12 years and there is easily one of my concise videos I’ve seen. I’ll will different purchase your course.
Again. Eric’s teaching speaks to me. It’s how my brain works. Thanks man🎸
Lovely intro, very Gilmouresque when you flipped the switch 😃👍🏽✌🏽
Thanks for the heads up on your new course. Purchased. My summer goal - watch all four of your Truefire videos, pick one to focus on and work through it in detail.
Thanks Steve!
THAT IS BEAUTIFUL TONE AND GUITAR.
That guitar sounds AWESOME.
Thanks for this, as someone who likes to play a little bit of everything but isn’t very good at guitar this helps a lot
Great lesson. Of all the small amps you have for your apartment, which one do you like best? You make all of them sing.
The supro Amulet had really proven itself time and time again to be quite infallible!
Thanks, Eric I bought the Weber Mini-Mass because I saw you use an attenuator. It makes a big difference in a small room. @@EricHaugenGuitar
Excellent description of how to view harmony and melody; great video
Just found this channel and quality is great and love the way you think and teach things.
Eric’s playing and tone is always good
that tone is beautiful
Dude ive recently discovered your channel and have been binge watching a bunch of your tutorials! Keep going man! Love the lessons!
Already have the next TrueFire course -- your 'Playing The Changes' course -- ordered. Very much looking forward to it. Thanks, Eric!
Looking forward to your TrueFire course. Your other courses were awesome on TrueFire
Beautiful playing and beautiful guitar. Instant like
people make fun of the concept, but this is the definition of playing with feel
I am in love with that guitar.
Congrats on the awesome tone, and beautiful guitar. I love how it also appears to have been masterfully fashioned from the tree that used to nobly stand on the corner, just down the street...
I haven't seen one of your videos for a while and had forgotten about how your tone is always gorgeous. Such great lessons and content overall.
Bob Weir's work in the late seventies and '80s was fantastic
Thanks!
Just found your videos. Love the approach - bring it back to CAGED and have all your knowledge built around it … and enjoy it! Thank you, Eric!
Thanks Benjamin (my middle name)!
Wicked tunes on the demo! Nice guitar tone good vibes
Idles rule, great lesson, that guitar sounds amazing!!
You are amazing... I'm playing bass, but it inspires me.... your videos....
Love your channel! You inspired me to get back into playing
Great playing! And that guitar is stunningly beautiful!
Best guitar teacher!
Love how you make it make sense. I always learn something new. I'm gunna try your True Fire course finally!
I subscribed immediately after that first big bend
Great lesson Eric. Thanks for sharing! Love the Guitar.
Great one this week, Eric. Super practical advice. Big thanks.

IDLES are great songwriters and fun wild shows! So glad you are a fan!

"Playing The Changes" has some really pretty chord progressions to work with so I'd recommend that one first!
You always make sense Eric! Beautiful logic articulated expertly! Thanks!✌️❤️
Yes, between rhythm and lead IS where it's all at. If you can arrive here - you're there!
Thank you, Eric! ✌️😌🎸
I do like Mondays, superb Eric
Great video Eric!!! Sadly it's so true that guitarists are taught like chords and scales are almost worlds apart !
Thanks Eric, bought the course! ❤
Thank you!!
"The Wind Cries Mary" is chock full of this stuff.
Eric has had a haircut. Looking sharp!!! Another great lesson.
This is so helpful, thank you kindly
Guitar looks beautiful.
What is he playing? That is gorgeous.
A great lesson Eric .
Love this!!!!
For my money the master of this is Gareth Liddiard of the Drones
Wow, just discovered this channel after years of YT guitar searches.
I live somewhat close to the Beachland Ballroom - northern Ohio accent would pronounce it Beachlind - sort of a softer a/i sound.
Very cool guitar Eric. Love the headstock shape and the SG style chamfers on a T type 👌
Thank you Eric!
Great explaining and tone thanks
Woah WTF Eric Haugen and IDLES, that's like my two favorite things in the world! Totally didn't expect to hear The Beachland Ballroom on this channel
You'd be surprised at how much wild & screechy stuff I enjoy!
Wowwee that guitar is beautiful.
You make the complex simple!
Great video brother! Sick guitar
Awesome. Love the Truefire format. We're spoiled for learning options in 2023.
