How to Make Riffs

[@danbuck2110]

The Bob Ross of guitar tuition. Chilled out, skilled, and very informative.

[@tooManywaystoFall]

no mistakes just happy riffs

[@KekeElBecko]

I've often thought that, and it's always meant as a big compliment

[@fendermatt874]

Who is Bob Ross

[@gaborbolla]

😂 yup, Bob Ross indeed! Ever make mistakes in live? Let’s make them riffs . Yeah, they’re riffs now. We don’t make mistakes, just happy little accidents.

Friday night relaxing with a beer, guitar and a new video of Eric Haugen... life is GOOD!

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

I love just tossing Eric’s videos on even when I don’t have a guitar with me 🤘

[@markkindermannart4028]

Same here. I usually watch through without a guitar first, then again with the guitar in hand.

[@alexgramm5170]

​@@markkindermannart4028Ya right... that's the way... be schooled; be taught. Watch and listen.

[@aloysiusdevadander19]

I do the same thing. Then I come back with my guitar and watch it again. Hands down the best guitar channel on YT

[@jackcrook4435]

Dude you are the man! The music fans guitar teacher. Still cant believe you were talking LILYS one episode. Your taste is what makes these lessons awesome for music fans.

[@bryanbassett2110]

I am amazed by this channel. It's answering all of the questions other KZbinrs have never answered for me Thank you for the great content!

[@tgmurph8511]

Got some good news and bad news. I’m 66 and finally starting to get this stuff. Guess I can rock the old folks home.. Great lessons.

[@tomflynn2912]

What's the bad news?

[@_joeMelfi]

The world needs great songs. Write a great song.

[@tgmurph8511]

@@tomflynn2912 the runway is getting a little short.

[@tonyjones1560]

I’m nearly 62. I suspect there’s some people in the old folks’ home that would appreciate one more bite of the poison apple (I’m an old headbanger, never stopped thinking like one)…

[@johnosborne3187]

The best guitar instruction videos I have ever seen. So great!

[@ditchgator1]

😎👍👍 THE GOAT IMHO👍👍

[@MaBaKar]

Sir, you are not wrong

[@ryangunwitch-black]

I have written some of my best songs from the first two minutes of a few of his lessons. I never finish the lesson but in screwing up what I’m trying to learn I make something new and great. It is often so inspiring. Lol

[@AngelRangel-q7e]

😂❤

[@takodafcrs4014]

I've only been playing guitar for 14 weeks now, watched literally hundreds of different lessons on other YT channels, but Eric is my favourite teacher by far. Hendrix and psychedelic style riffs and solos without using chords is just what i need, please keep making these type of lessons. Subscribed.

[@GrtBasinGuitars]

Thanks Eric...Still playing and hardly a day goes by without your voice uttering a little nugget of wisdom from the couple years of lessons I took from you ...Great subject for this Vid, looking forward to the follow up !

[@mikeandrulonis6553]

Eric gives such a chill vibe when he teaches, I love tuning in when he drops a new video. Great lesson, great riffing.

[@notrare_png]

That Jimi Hendrix blues record is one of my favorites. That or Band of Gypsy's for me.

[@alexgramm5170]

Check out Drivin South from Radio One.. maybe you know.

[@jrpipik]

There are about 5 riffs that everybody always uses as examples. Purple Haze, Sunshine, Whole Lotta Love, etc. Nice to get some fresh ones instead!

[@francescodomenichetti3787]

Bridge of Sighs is one of the most beautiful records out there about those kind of riffs. Everytime I play my Strat with a Marshall, I am instantly playing like that album. What a golden era for music it was!

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Hell yea!

[@coastercook]

Great lesson. Love Budgie also.

[@Skwid-Lives]

Great examples. Makes me appreciate those songs more. Your use of these songs we’ve heard before is real cool

[@guitarfriendtim]

Such an inventive way to weave wisdom. Dude! Your vids always result in a killer mixtape playlist too.

[@prestonwilliams5244]

This was pleasant to learn. Been working on the major scales and this helped me see where it is involved for riffs and even chord progressions. Thanks for the help.

[@RamblinRose97]

This is honestly one of the best guitar lessons I've ever watched. Forever grateful for your content ❤

[@Tremolo100]

Mr. Haugen’s lessons are fire! Dude is dialed in - good news for us.

[@titichartay7216]

Cool tele with the Bigsby & playing my era of music !

[@DaniHachicho-k1e]

Wild I learned so much in this video I've been playing 30 years long lol I was in a car accident and I had to relearn guitar now I'm doing it the right way with the teacher this time or with instructions then that's going at it informative and very thorough you seem to be a cool dude.

[@babelincoln7438]

Insane tone!

[@ttbfan]

Jupiter's child is my favorite Steppenwolf song by far. Love that tune!

[@JohnWhite-xc3md]

I agree. I've been playing it wrong for almost half a century! 😂

[@hardyshmardy]

Instantly useful in one’s practice, arranging, etc. Thanks.

[@cullenmcclure8938]

From one of the only guys who reveres, and will tab out, Dave Rawlings, to this gem. Wow. Thanks for being one of the best out there Eric! BTW I love my old Carr amp too!

[@Mindwave416]

broooo you living legend with the catfish blues great example of a killer riff love that subtlety to rolling off some volume on the fuzz hendrix had the god damn feel!!!!!

[@nonethelessbysignificantvi197]

I sware no joke you definately a guitar hero for me....I love every video you teavh, which is very inspirering!! Thanks a million Eric!!

[@xaviermarini7602]

I'm trying to learn to make some doom/stoner metal riffs : since it's very related to psych blues, well, this helped a lot ! You're such a great teacher, thanks !

[@lennartdelarambelje1154]

This was truly informative and insightful and can be applied with so much versatility, also outside of the bluesy rock genres. Thank you!❤😊

[@markkindermannart4028]

Great one again. My little band of brothers calls me The Riff because I'm constantly bringing in new ones for us to flesh out. Looking forward to Part 2!

[@christophereadgbe2976]

Wow did that Bugdie tune send me down a rabbit hole. Never heard of them but holly🔥Batman!

[@rjpritchard324]

Wow, fantastic lesson! Honestly haven't seen one like it before on any of the guitar channels I follow. Riffs are everyone's favorite things to play!

[@maplechill75]

The riff is king!

[@AngelRangel-q7e]

You break it down really good sir😎

[@larryhirschman3652]

Who else pulls out Jupiter’s Child? Awesome, Eric! Your song choices are sublime

[@bymbie]

Eric makes Fridays amazing... Thanks!

[@CatGPT_]

that intro riff slaps bro

[@JoshLikesFuzz]

Eric playing some Blind Faith. I certainly didn’t have to cry today.

[@soulrelaxlife720]

That s a great lesson Eric....not only very illustrative....also a fun one

[@dorianvedel1910]

Just another awesome video, thank you Eric

[@jc5512]

God, the tone of a fuzz face cleanup is unparalleled.

[@andrewdempsey5312]

First time watcher, new subscriber…. And you’ve just added to my practice list and got me listening to another blues subgenre Great video. Thank you

[@thomasryan5681]

Great lesson. Keep them coming.

[@petergoddard1960]

Budgie were great, I saw them live a couple of times back in the 70's. while Tony Bourge was still in the band. Brilliant gigs in a real dive of a venue.

[@PlayTheBlues1963]

Great video Eric, can't get enough🎸

[@thetanman2233]

“Guitarmony” I love it lol was hooked to this vid soon as I heard the Blind Faith riff!

[@lukejxson]

You are an amazing teacher. Thank you

[@BradRocker]

Riff on Man ! Bel Ray ......Best amp ever

[@MattGeer147]

Keep on rocking Eric, great video as always. Some brilliant songs that you’ve just introduced me to also, huge thanks! ❤

[@bluffhavenstudios]

Thank you Eric

[@shanebrbich5698]

Good morning Mr Haugen! Just wanted to say congratulations for acknowledging the difference between a “Riff” and a “Lick”! 99.9% of channels today (by very good people) are continually misappropriating these names 🤔 This has to stop! And you are the man to do it! 👍🇦🇺 Keep on keeping on good sir!

[@jeanallard7764]

What a great lesson thanks Eric

[@clawfoot8400]

Your video editing is killer! Loving it!

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Thanks for noticing! I work had to make these as enjoyable/educational as possible (each vid takes me like 30hrs)

[@cowboygypsey]

Great rendition of the Blind Faith song from my past.

[@steve-shmeev]

Great lesson + killer tone!

[@davestagner]

There’s music theory, and there’s music architecture. This is architecture, not theory. Excellent!

[@JohnWalker-wu6lt]

Super cool guitar, sounds cool

[@elliot1405]

Hahaha I f*ckin love budgie. Good to see someone showing them some love!

HAHAHAA HAD TO CRY TODAY MADE ME HAPPY TODAY THANK YOUU

[@nrhn9254]

Some Budgie hell yeah! Tony was such a great guitarist both as a riff guy and as a soloist.

[@MaTTheWish]

Dude I was just listening to Robin Trower today! Psychedelic blues, Some of my favorite all time music. Dripping with Cool.

[@BillBoxstep]

I saw Budgie in the early 70's, around the same time I saw Edgar Broughton, and Groundhogs. all great bands.

[@EdwardTapiaEddie199tp]

Nice video, great "Low key" bands on the examples, they are great. Budgie, Steppenwolf fuck yeah. You should break down some stuff of Mountain (Leslie West), Free (Paul Kossoff was a beast), The Small Faces (Steve Marriott), Canned Heat (Alan Wilson)... Damn, there's a lot of good stuff!, haha.

[@WeAreLints-ui1eb]

You should make a video about Mark Lightcap from Acetone’s guitar riffs. If you’re not familiar with them check out their albums I think you will appreciate his playing style. Love your videos! -long time watcher
