I'd say yours is an understatement. But maybe you didn't spend three days in his shop just fondly his amazing offerings, asking inane questions and listening to detailed and expansive stories from his life. Sorry for being so blunt but Eric is both a treasure and a trip !
So nice to hear you after all these years, Eric! You inspired me way back in the 80s when I studied with you and asked you to teach me how you approach arranging for fingerstyle guitar. I have you to thank (or blame!) for my lifelong pursuit of that art. Wish you well!
I just LOVE the way you played the Dill Pickkes Rag. Everone and their aunt play it at rocket speed and show off. You played it so every note could be heard with its chord accompinant. It was just beautiful. You are a brilliant musician. Your guitar is awesome as well. Never seen one like it. I notice you had another on in the backgound to the left. What make is it please?
Eric this is wonderful! I've been tryng to play this (your arrangement) of Dill for 40 years and now I see it might be possible if I'd just slow down, relax, and breathe. Isn't that the guitar you played at the coffee house in Beacon NY in '75? I'll never forget your concert there: you held the audience spell-bound the whole time. I still play at the opener you played then, Bluebell. It was then I got my first guitar and started out with tablature. Took me another 20 years to see that I didn't know squat about music in any way, at least I'm trying nowadays.
Who knew the reason the guitar's bulbous upper bout was a cheek rest... what ever it is.... it's a phenomenal investment played by a phenomenal player !
nice job. and played isn’t the spirit of guys our age that have played our whole life , and played it all. “ Whadda ya want speed or accuracy?!?! . “ ( no since in rushing anything if it ain’t bleeding?)
For his performance, Eric Schoenberg plays an Epiphone Recording Model B. The Recording guitars were the first guitars made by Epiphone and were built between 1928 and 1931 in Models A, B, C, D, and E (in increasing fanciness). Schoenberg has owned this Model B since the mid-’60s and it features a flat, natural finished top with laminated maple sides and an arched maple back.
Nick Maione: if you look behind Eric, to his right, you'll see a fancier version of the guitar. I think they made 5 versions of it, differentiating by a letter. So the most basic was Recording Model A, and the fanciest was Recording Model E.
John Bruno: yes, these were made in the late 1920's - maybe into the early '30s. Another odd bit is they are archtops. There is a guy named Tony Klassen that's made a few copies of these. Eric (the guy in this video) has one for sale on his site if you want to check out pics of it.
it's a piece of music i saw when i first started playing,totally brilliant piece of playing.
That's a sweet sounding guitar, nicely played, thank you Eric. 🎸💓.
Excellent tune and gorgeous playing. Eric you have that rare ability to capture the soul of a beautiful song.
The slower tempo renders the artistry of the arrangement and full musicality of the instrument...masterful playing !!!
I HAVE HEARD THIS PLAYED AT MANY AN OLD TIME FIDDLE CONTEST..HERE DONE WONDERFULLY!
My ex used to play it every month. That's why she's my ex.
Awesome performance! Thank you for sharing.
just excellent,loved it
We met him at his shop in Tiburon, California. He is a very nice man and has a great selection of guitars

So unbelievably classic!
Way back in the 70's, Ricky Schoenberg was my guitar teacher in NJ. I'm still playing, but not at his level. He is the Master!
I almost like this more than his original recording from decades back. So much soul
Are you referring to the new ragtime guitar album?
@@rontillman3168 Yes! the one with David Laibman I believe
Eric Schoenberg is a treasure. 💙

Love this music...check out "The New Ragtime Guitar" Eric Schoenberg Dave Laibman...wonderful music
I loved that.
Sweet arrangement. What is that guitar you have there?
Nick Maione: It's an Epiphone Recording.
Charles Johnston Thank you

CJ: So is the guitar hes playing an antique? Looks new!

Sometimes he takes in a breathe of air as if he was playing a woodwind instrument.. hehehe... Well done!
Singers do that too.
I'm also one of These guitar head resters
Ever had a guitar with soundhole in that spot? its amazing, all the sounds directed to you.
@@mishmishmish8868 Haven't tried yet
biitchin'
Lol that's one ugly guitar.
Sounds good though.
I don't think that would bother Davis, Blake, or mctell, somehow
