If you want to jump to each lick to check it out or play along with it after learning: Lick 1 = 0:55, Lick 2 = 2:53, Lick 3 = 5:02, Lick 4 = 6:35, Lick 5 = 7:59. Hope this helps! Great lessons, great licks!

stylishnoob thanks!

[@mothershiphip]

very well done........there's a 1000 more to explore....May I add: Eddies sense of groove and timing is the secret to the sauce...ie - when it was time to really mash on the gas Eddie rhythmically was like like a great drummer pushing the beat but not speeding up or losing control check out the riffs from the studio versions of Super Stupid, Standing On The Verge, Good To Your Earhole, Comin' 'Round The Mountain, Alice In My Fantasies....have mercy!) I have been trying to emulate EH for over 40 years .

[@basslinephunk3441]

Rick....!EDDIE HAZEL man!you pick some of the BADDEST cats. Thanks for another great lesson.

[@beatsoara3460]

underrated guitarist and amazing lesson

[@TastyGuitarcom]

Thanks for watching!

[@Smeppolone]

Underrated by who?

[@OriginalOldSkoolFunk]

Nice video. Great memories of watching Eddie Hazel and Michael Hampton duel 6 strings on stage back in the 70's. I am sure that I have some hearing loss from those epic concerts.

[@TastyGuitarcom]

Oh man, would gladly trade a little hearing to have been able to see THAT show!

[@OriginalOldSkoolFunk]

TastyGuitar.com I am fortunate to have grown up in the 70's. All the major R&B and Funk Bands would cycle through town and I have seen everyone from Sly Stone, EWF, James Brown, Brothers Johnson, Rick James, Commodores, BarKays, Cameo, Bootsy Collins and countless other groups while in their prime. We didn't have KZbin back then so me and all of my guitar playing buddies would go early to scope out the gear and when the house lights went down and the show began, we were only feet away from Ernie Isley, Larry Graham, Eddie Hazel or whoever the featured string bender was. After the show, we would go home and try to play back their parts note for note...from remembering what we saw. It wasn't just the Funk acts I remember either. Saw Kiss, Peter Frampton, Ted Nugent, Mahogany Rush, TRex and dozens of Rock acts. It was a cool time to be a young guitar player...

[@TastyGuitarcom]

Oldskool Funk right on, growing up in the 80s there wasn't nearly as many good shows happening but fortunately I had a mom with great taste in music and was exposed to all this old school stuff at an early age

[@colinhodson9443]

Great stuff ! All these R'n'B, funk rhythms + fills are ALL important to the role of the guitarist in a band. Played well with pretty authentic tone & feel too. Well done old chap

[@austinhall2362]

Great. Thought people had forgotten about Eddie. His mom didn't want him out there for the exact same reason that he died.

[@TastyGuitarcom]

thank you Austin!

[@CainPaisley]

One of the best KZbin teachers covering one of my favourite players, brilliant. These licks are very reminiscent of his playing on California Dreaming! I've been using a lick similar to No.3 for a while now, it's great sitting behind the usual box :D

[@TastyGuitarcom]

+Cain Paisley thanks Cain!

[@marcknight9334]

Just discovered Eddie Hazel. Thanks for the quick riffs ! Will incorporate this into my playing starting today. Crazy to me that this guy is pretty much unknown.

[@TastyGuitarcom]

Thank you for watching!

[@loontil]

final lick had me singing 'teacher ... leave those kids alone!' similar notes

[@TastyGuitarcom]

Yeah, could fit right in that solo if slowed down

[@mikeuclide5689]

Would be nice if you showed the songs the licks come from. Thanks for the hard work

[@jonmurray2759]

Cheers Rick for another brilliant lesson! Always informative and clearly explained. You've helped my playing no end over the last year or so. Also thanks for the Fills and Grooves e-book!!!

[@TastyGuitarcom]

Jon Murray thanks Jon, glad to hear it, and enjoy the ebook!

[@megadave1197]

Awesome!!! 👏 This is fantastic and Eddie was one of the very best.

[@TastyGuitarcom]

Yeah he was a great player, thanks for watching!

[@TonyRedgrave1501]

Amazing lesson! Now you have to add effects like phaser into it and it will sounds like Eddie Hazel

[@LloydMajor]

Awesome tribute and great playing!

[@TastyGuitarcom]

[@LloydMajor]

[@donbollings7797]

Mega mega riffs these. Great choices.... What songs are they from... Please?

[@TastyGuitarcom]

man, would have to jog my memory....definitely some stuff off of California Dreamin' and his solo album more than the P'funk stuff

[@maxsweet3000]

Good stuff

[@KyOte13]

Help me out & let me know where lick #2 comes from, please? I wanna check it out

[@brianarrington4569]

@@TastyGuitarcom hey what songs were the licks from?

[@TastyGuitarcom]

@@brianarrington4569 as it's been over 3 years since I filmed this I can't remember exactly. But I think most were off his solo album, "games dames and guitar thangs"

[@YungTrinidad407]

You should let us know what song each lick came from Ik the first is maybe maggot brain

[@michaelkirkwood284]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@thehawk5967]

If lick 5 is signature Eddie Hazel, did David Gilmour rip it off for "Another Brick in the Wall"?

[@TastyGuitarcom]

Haha, hard to say, all these licks were lifted off of Eddie's 1977 release Dames, Games, and Guitar Thangs. The Wall was released in 1979... so maybe Gilmour lifted it, but probably more likely that great minds think alike :)

[@dangelo5]

Which song is lick 5 from please?

[@TastyGuitarcom]

Sorry, cant recall

[@ronaldjenkins1946]

Great job, explaining a ALL TIME GREAT..WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE ! CHECKOUT , AND DO A REVIEW OF "COMING AROUND THE MOUNTAIN " ON THE "HARCORE JOLLIES" ALBUM. GET BACK TO ME😉..🛸🤘🏾🤘🏾🛸

[@AliciaandScott]

Rick! Hopefully you get to read this.. Have you seen the Live Funkadelic broadcast here on the Tube? kzbin.info/www/bejne/ip7Qq5WMgpp1g9k .... The first song is "What Is Soul" and has Eddie jamming the rhythm in the background and is THE funkiest guitar i've ever heard.. 0:45 to 1:30 is a good example... I've got the gist of what he's doing but can't nail the rhythm... he 'chicks' the high B&E strings for a nice percussive effect, but he seems to be hitting them between certain beats, and I just can't seem nail the rhythm... Care to do a lesson on that national treasure??

[@TastyGuitarcom]

I have seen this before, that's some stanky stuff. There are a couple videos on my channel that teach this technique, check out my lessons on the funky flutter and shake everything you got.

[@AliciaandScott]

@@TastyGuitarcom thanks for the quick reply. I did check the flutter video out, thanks! There's 2 guitars in the garage P Funk video which makes it harder to hear whos playing what.. Looks like Eddie is using a slightly hybrid version of that strum technique.. Sounds like he sneaks in an upstroke on the high strings. Anyway, keep up the good work, you've earned yourself a new customer!

[@AliciaandScott]

TastyGuitar.com thanks in part to your lessons, I learned and posted a play along of some funky Eddie hazel rhythm from a ‘71 show in Michigan: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIS0i56FoN-arJI

[@chuangtsu]

Ah, D minor. The saddest of all keys.

[@TastyGuitarcom]

makes people weep instantly, went through 3 boxes of tissues making this video

[@chuangtsu]

I won't ask you what you call that piece.

[@msport_erick]

These are all fucking impossible.
