How to Practice Scales (The Most Musical Way)

[@dananthony6258]

Dude played taxi theme song. Officially the coolest guitar teacher on the tube in my book. 😂I love that sh!t.

[@VanirTraditionalist]

He should tear into the solo from Barney Miller next.

[@FilmFlam]

Same here.

[@xenod1066]

The song is called "Angela." By Bob James. 😊

[@boomerdell]

Love it! And such a great show too.😊

[@mkrj2576]

Yes! Theme form Taxi. So great!

[@jcadie]

Eric has a humble way about him that makes you want to learn from him.

[@curtrod]

fo sho

[@JackThomas-t4m]

Are you bald

[@hrishimittal]

nailed it

[@colindrew1173]

I've been playing for decades and after finding Eric I realise, he's the guitar player I've always wanted be. Thank you Eric 😁

[@brianbarker2190]

I have trouble practicing while I watch these videos. I just end up sitting and listening to him practie (play). Skigglely-doo!

[@jobaci]

You really pulled that all together incredibly ! Thanks.

[@nealpike6611]

Absolutely buying this lessons for two of my favourite themes ever

[@jamesrichardson4988]

One thing that always strikes me about Eric's lessons is how lightly he plays...compared to me who uses the GI Joe death grip on the neck

[@Whoosh12345]

Holy crap I've been wanting to learn to play Angela forever and here it is. Thank you!

[@FatKidProductions1]

I spy an IDLES tee! Love your content man; I’m getting back into guitar after several years’ hiatus and am thankful I found your stuff. Finally taking the dive to better understand music more broadly and looking to “unlock” the fretboard. Cheers to more dude ✌️

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Just saw them last night in Asheville - it was EPIC!

[@dimerizer]

Bluesy, chromatic Mario! Love it.

[@QBRX]

Love it Eric...thanks!

[@gregorymichael9031]

The "squidily doo!!" Made me so happy haha! Keep it up, Eric!!

[@peterg6695]

thank you for making your videos Eric :)

[@gergemall]

Thank you ❤

[@aminahmed2220]

What a great video have a wonderful weekend Eric ❤😊

[@musicmanxii]

Another excellent lesson. The movie and other media comparisons were very helpful

[@mabblers]

Great lesson.

[@tompoynton]

Bro made the Super Mario theme sound like Jerry

[@jordantaylor1988]

Awesome lesson!

[@scottkidwellmusic9175]

Thanks, Eric. Good stuff! Star Wars, Mario, and Taxi all in one video. You win the internets 🍕

[@macsarcule]

I could NOT be more excited about this lesson! Star Wars, AND the Taxi theme?!! If only I could play it on my Rhodes 😫 Awesome lesson, Eric!! ✌️😌🎸

[@MrCarlos1335]

GOOD JOB, WELL DONE THANK YOU!

[@ForrestWest]

I believe squiddly Doo is an advanced term!

[@davidmilliken3360]

Eric is the best😊

[@burresseffects]

Luke’s Theme If you have an arrangement of Yoda’s Theme, I might just be moved to tears.

[@EdBender]

This guy is superb teacher!! That star wars theme insert was gold, and the Mario theme had me cracking! Def going to drop those on a future jam session and have my band mates ROFL! lol

[@BillBrown101]

Well done. A full lesson on Angela...'theme from taxi', would be pretty great

[@xenod1066]

Your tone is great throughout, but amazing in the outro. Did you do something differently?

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

That’s a little Valhalla stereo ducking delay - so subtle!

[@japanjay]

Angela’s theme! Great choice

[@kirkduval1279]

Beautiful gold top Owen.

[@colindoyle9594]

Is that in IDLES shirt I spy underneath your button-up? Also...excited to practice with this material later this evening. Cheers!

[@colindoyle9594]

also, the SQUEEDLY-DOO was phenomenal. Two thumbs up.

[@bryanelrod616]

SQEEE DA LEE DEWWWW

[@TigerPalmer]

Can you do a lesson on the Night Court theme? It was always my favorite. So funky.

[@TFShaw]

How do you spell that particular hand posture Eric? Squigily doo? I prefer that one. 😎🎸 I'm Squigily dooin!

[@nonethelessbysignificantvi197]

Hi Eric, my favorite guitar teacher.. I have a request...There's is one classic blues song from The great Elmore James I wish to learn..But my ears isn't as develop and I can't find this tab anywhere...The song is called ' Got to move' please check it on youtube...It's such a bad ass riff and I wish to learn it..thanks

[@mkrj2576]

Excellent tune choice… Taxi! What PUPs are those on the Gibson? They sound great.

[@trusarmor4957]

6:00 The 'Classical' or the 'Clapton' position .. or the Squeedalleedoo.

[@markkindermannart4028]

Another awesome and very useful lesson! Point of notice: Living in Hawaii where we take our shoes off in the house, so I am triggered by those brown boots on the white carpet!

[@EdBender]

Untrigger yourself dude! Play the music and chill! ;) Boots can be cleaned and carpets as well...

[@markkindermannart4028]

@@EdBender Tell that to Hawaii and all of Asia lol, expand your thinking! And play that funky music!

[@bert_b13]

Love the practical exercises #algorithm

[@comso3632]

How come I set up a metronome, and start practicing my scales and all of a sudden you upload this video? Coincidence?

[@SuperRbert]

Yes

[@marcinbreczko4777]

Sheer chance, buddy! 🙂

[@markpell8979]

"Skweedle-a-doo." I like that. Did I spell it right though?

[@TheSalinski]

Brown Jeans! My last good pair are cut-offs now and everything Levi's makes today are stretchy crap.

[@brandonburks4172]

Rabi, please help me. You mentioned “noticed how I’m down picking at this tempo”. I’ve been playing for 15 years and my picking accuracy still SUCKS. I just whiff notes. Should I be down picking more often when the tempo allows? Could you do a video on this? TIA. Love your content.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Yeah! I only use alternate picking if I absolutely have to - we have so much more control over nuance if we go slow and use downstrokes

[@dad_fi]

yes taxi theme!!!! i know what im doing for the next week lol

[@stratocumulusnimbostratus328]

Does the paid lesson come with the backing track, thanks,❤

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Yup - the tabs include the tracks as well!

[@gryphon37]

How do you like that D²0 amp? I've been curious about them.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

I love it - kinda a cross between an old amped and a bassman with a Vox cut knob!

[@smokeychumchum]

i think taxi theme is called angela

[@flyinandjammin]

When did you go to Berkley? You know a guy named Eric (Ric) Robertson?

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

I was there in the early 2000s - don’t know Ric!

[@flyinandjammin]

@@EricHaugenGuitar You're older than you look. :) Eric is the son of a friend of mine. Great songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Berkley produces some fabulous musicians. Love your channel, but I've eaten way too much pizza in my day.

[@coastercook]

Thanks, Eric

[@batfish]

I'm pretty sure it's Binary Sunset

[@marquee-moon]

Fun fact: "Blues Angle" was the original name before they became Blueshammer.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

The most authentic blues out there :-)

[@jettberg4581]

Taxi!

[@gibsonfan159]

Mario theme on guitar sounds suspiciously like many African guitarists' style

[@davidlawrence3425]

Did I hear a little House of the Rising Sun during Star Wars?

[@VanirTraditionalist]

Nice Angela drop

[@21Million]

as a guitar player I would not wear shirts with metal buttons. my friend ruined one of my guitars doing that.

[@tombohan3732]

Are you Owen?!?!

[@langton666]

On guitar, the force tune sounds very Morricone

[@xenod1066]

Agreed.

[@joeurbanowski321]

Every time you run the natural minor scale I hear a Santana song.. an instrumental I think..? Can’t remember the name..😫

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

It’s gotta be Black Magic Woman 🎶

[@Mr.Monster1313]

Ive been playing guitar and bass since the 80s..ive never learned a scale..opps...

[@JackThomas-t4m]

I’m bald
