I Play These 3 Grooves Every Day

[@kellinquinn]

I would love a whole series based on the strumming hand alone and technique to just keep that motor running. As someone aspiring to be a solid rhythm player this lesson alone has helped so so much!

[@BrendonBrooks]

Second this one. Not a whole lot of content on that topic.

[@richtomchuk1584]

Yes. Another vote for this.

[@MikesChalkdustGr00ve]

Agreed

[@scottenglert4083]

Yep - terrific idea... Speaking from advanced intermediate beginner land (😂) - it is tricky for me to figure out keeping the strumming hand pendulum going and the rhythm actually dictated by the rhythm of the muting / fretted chords from the fretting hand. I can sort of get a "groove" with it at times but I don't think I have an efficient practice strategy for it...

[@leandropeixoto9043]

Yeah, not a lot of humble rhythm guitar content around.

[@mrpotato4441]

This is EXACTLY what I have been searching for. I played for years and only concentrated on playing lead. My rhythm was never there. Took a couple year hiatus and have been focusing strictly on rhythm, holding the pick correctly, blah blah. Going to incorporate these into my daily repertoire. Cheers 🦍 🦍

[@bumblefritz]

That intro tone for Drain You was excellent! Holygani

[@mindfield9832]

When me and a friend started out on guitar and learned the Drain You and Where Is My Mind strumming patterns it was a revelation.

[@kent.merritt]

So much more good stuff in this video than just the 3 grooves played every day. Beautiful way of explaining things, Eric.

[@maggieo]

Eric, this is such a mitzvah for me. I've been in a funk, and picking up a guitar and playing along with you today has made my week. Thank you, ever so much. 🎸🎼🎸

[@FK-we1dp]

this is such a shoah for me

[@antihero0101]

Schlemiel

[@VicariousAquarius]

I wanna feel mitzvah!

[@adamwaerzeggers7557]

Your videos are seriously the best things on KZbin!

[@sebozz2046]

Thanks!

[@user-ww1go3hz7n]

Love you so much This time especially for the extreme non clickbait

[@OM10PYE]

Thanks for the slow down tip Eric. I performed live recently for the first time and kept racing through my songs from nerves and running out of my setlist choices before the end of the gig 😂. Would love more videos on the 'basics' and gaining foundations to become a player like yourself.

[@zappasmoustache23]

Ah those first steps. You did it though and that’s the point. It’s a learning curve. In terms of playing, you don’t know me but I can guarantee that Eric is the best teacher on the youtubes.

[@OM10PYE]

@@zappasmoustache23 without a doubt. Eric is super attentive, responsive, clear and is my rock guru. I love Richard Peña too for Jazz.

[@songnotes]

Conclusatory - very much in the parlance of our times! Nice

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

"....WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU BLATHERING ABOUT!"

[@starbicycle]

I love your easy going laid back style. AND especially the focus on the RIGHT Hand. Thank You!!!

[@nnuunnooc]

Tasteful job on that guitar, the finish wearing and color scheme looks great!

[@frankjasperson3864]

Never had anyone make music theory so exciting and not work. wicked cool......

[@ubellubo]

Love that guitar.

[@hardyshmardy]

Another nice idea for making “practice” more fun and productive. Thanks!

[@78tag]

Thank you Eric - I have always had a problem with letting life's little problems get in the way of my motivation to pick up my string twanger. Listening to your take on playing is always helpful - thanks again.

[@pm8278]

The return of the good old Mustang🎉👍

[@dallassurfersclub8872]

Eric!! Subscribed. I'm a lifetime bass player that has dabbled in guitar and only got serious about it a year ago. These are great riffs!! I'm gong to play these every day until I get tired of them. LOL. U are awesome dude. Thank uuu.

[@mccoggsgregor8059]

In my humble opinion, you're a ferkin awesome guitar teacher. I get so much meaningful pragmatic stuff from these videos. Thanks man

[@surfjabroni]

I'm subscribing purely on the way you look over your glasses at me like a teacher. Suggests you know what you are doing!

[@tonyjabroni7205]

These are my favourite type of lesson, thanks Eric!!

[@markntexas8265]

I am a struggling yr 2 beginner this is awesome

[@CruddyBuddie]

Desire by U2 is a great song to practice the Bo Diddley rhythm too. Great Video Eric!😊

[@lordlomanagh5966]

Brilliant Eric thank you so much blessed be ol'boy

[@BruceyPop]

Hey, I'm just gonna put this here, I'm doing your true fire course, guitar zen caged. I started it this past winter, I'm taking my time and really enjoying it. I'm going to see Lucinda Williams when she plays in Vancouver next week. I have always thought that you would fit right into her band, I mean this as a compliment. Thanks for putting this course together! Eat Pizza!!

[@martoneill]

Awesome - grooves never taught enough and this is just great! Thank you

[@JamesDickson-vs5of]

What's was your oldest student bro, I'm 62 with loads of spare time, something like your playing in this video, I only want to strum a few riffs 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 happy healthy peace ✌️

[@davidfitzwater6501]

Bro, you're just an EXCELLENT guitar teacher. Thanks so much for this lesson. Owwww!!

[@TheGravygun]

I love this guy

[@el0blaino]

Whenever I think about a Bo Diddley beat, I remember this quote I read about John Entwistle, that he hated Magic Bus because they would stretch it out (like on Live at Leeds) and he was stuck playing a simple Bo Diddley line for ten minutes! Great lesson today, Eric!

[@thisvato125]

I love your lessons Eric.

[@arikdiamant]

So nice. Thank you!

[@cathykotter9430]

These videos are some of the most useful I’ve found. Thank you.

[@sunsunmoomoo9508]

You’re such a great teacher, thank you

[@rjhoopoe587]

The content of your content is always good but I thought today's looked particularly great too. Whether it is the new space or lighting or camera, whatever, it's definitely working for you (and for the mustang).

[@joeappel1]

Thanks for this! I’m going to dig into these grooves. I really got a lot out of your Guitar Zen CAGED course. Highly recommended💯

[@cyrilcrn]

I go back to this lesson once in a while, as a beginner it's a quick way to review very important stuff. Thanks Eric. Also your mustang looks phenomenal...

[@cheintz44]

I've been playing guitar professionally (albeit not exclusively) for about 30 years now - and I learn something new from you more often than not. You have an excellent way of breaking things down and I'm finding that even things I would have thought I had "down" I can improve on. Thank you and keep up the great work.

[@Wodawic]

Many much thanks.

[@bass3966]

I really dig these layed back lesson's,, Mint 🤟

[@kenstrohan5089]

Eric H!! For the win! Always inspired by your insight. Slowing down the groove is awesome. Very cool lesson.😎✌️

[@JamesJessenfedden]

Bo Diddley riff is Jane’s Addictions Stop as well

[@brinsonharris9816]

Here we GO!!!! That was what I heard too.

[@macsarcule]

This is awesome to have a limited number of things to focus on. Thank you, Eric! ✌️😌🎸

[@RB-cb4fv]

These are such awesome videos and I'm glad to have found them. The vibe is so much more relaxed than a lot of the hyper aggressive tuition out there which seems to miss the joy and fun of the instrument. I look forward to exploring more of this and correcting some of my self taught habits.

[@DrewKane]

Nice Mustang.

[@duyle8921]

Very helpful. Thanks

[@scottkidwellmusic9175]

Thank you, Eric! Great lesson, as always. Just catching up, and this gives me something to work on when I don't know what else to do. Good couch guitar fodder...

[@clarkesinspace]

Thanks for teaching what you do the way you do! My mantra in this order: It’s not what the note, it’s when the note. When in Rome, pick a chord tone. Scales are colorful tones adjacent to a chord. Bonus: if you want to play a phrase for me, consult the melody.

[@stuartdennis8506]

I do love that Mustang

[@davidorduno2968]

Excellent video

[@matthewlapczynski5012]

Thank you, Eric. Good stuff as always!

[@aidanearley2801]

Nice bit of wisdom on slowing down E and the blazer is a good look!

[@maxt774]

I love this vid! I keep coming back to it when I wanna work on my rhythm chops. Another all time favorite groove of mine for mixing rhythm and lead playing is the funky part in Pink Floyd’s Echoes (mostly live at Pompeii or Gdańsk). I could play that groove for hours!

[@bruzrkgro-malog2953]

God dang! I love the Mustang.

[@GreenGenesMr]

love the necklace. love the video. as always. the man. when are you doing a jery garcia rhythm styles. or bob weir? wheres the deadhead in you?

[@cj.lambert]

Another tip i learnned from master tomo is to practice without modulation (no reverb no delay). Super clean helps point out mistakes. Love pulll down tempo tip

[@jamesbaynton1881]

And Ska! And Reggae. Brilliant.

[@skinner5334]

Great stuff⚡️

[@eddykidd]

Fantastic! As soon as you played "Who Loves the Sun" I knew we would be friends. Cheers mate!

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Merci, good information and advice.

[@thesethingsmakenoises]

This is awesome!

[@Chincheckyeah]

Thank you so much for this lesson, really helped me a lot !

[@MikesChalkdustGr00ve]

You sure drop videos at the right time - working on this the last few days! Glad to have a lesson about it now.

[@CC-qb9sm]

Excellent lesson. Have a great weekend 🤠

[@richardbrucemusic]

That Bi Diddly beat on the Dominant 7th chord and 1/2 step chromatic stab is the basis of Cheryl Crow's "All I Wanna Do".

[@GiantPinhead]

terrific! Really helpful. Bonus points for Ba Ba Baba Who Loves the Sun.

[@AndreaAustoni]

Love the lesson as I play a lot of rhythm and bass too. The Mustang looks better than ever. And I missed the Goya! Such a sweet voice.

[@arlo2203]

E.H., i am so glad you make these videos. I learn so much and you have a unique way of teaching... you're great at it!! Keep it going!

[@musicmanxii]

Thank you for your videos, you're an excellent teacher 👍

[@sirdudeness1386]

Thanks for the lesson Eric!

[@darthj_der7447]

The bo diddley example of that like funk strumming. Thats what i have the hardest time with. It never comes out right. Im gonna try your way of holdin the pick and see if it helps. But that strumming is hard for me and i believe alot of ppl.

[@shanewalton8888]

Cool Mustang.

[@Crazijames]

Eric really said : here, you can have em! 🤲

[@steve-shmeev]

As always... Many much awesomeness! Thank you

[@kevinhuff2001]

Great video. I seldom watch videos all the way through but this one grabbed my attention!!!! SUPER. A+++

[@sagrado5]

Thank you very much!

[@bobsavage3317]

Peace and Love. Also thx for playing something by the Velvets.

[@zappasmoustache23]

Hi Eric, re: your note at the beginning about more experienced players finding these things easy. As one of them I often find it helpful to go back to basics, if I’m struggling with a particular song or riff. You never know when you might pick up on something you’ve missed or simply a new approach to an already acquired skill. I would never consider myself above learning something simple. I was with my guitar teacher in a cafe recently. While we were waiting to be served, a young guy came in with a guitar case. Not missing an opportunity my teach said ‘hey guitarist, here’s my card hit me up if you fancy’ to which the guy replied ‘I’ve been playing 15 years, I don’t think there’s anything you can teach me’ needless to say we beat the shit out of him. (Not really)

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Ah yes youthful arrogance :-)

[@josephacerra5987]

Thanks for sharing

[@CFox.7]

You seem like a cool dude !

[@Billybolo53]

Gd your content is so good. You have helped me get a lot better. When I have the means def gonna get a lesson or two from you.

[@Mindwave416]

Sup ya legend thanks for a reminder on that Bo-Diddly beat

[@QBRX]

You da best!

[@zingleraster9124]

Thanks Eric. I’ve been trying to find a previous video you did which was similar by doing the same chord progression with different grooves to cover off the majority of songs? This helps a lot!

[@karlfarren]

I think it might be this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXSwqaaGj5aom9k

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

I am actually working on a practice guidebook!

[@lorenzodeabreu5703]

This Is valuable

[@samxday]

The world’s a better place for this guitar

[@davidharbilas4185]

Wow, I don't feel like such a loser. I often do two of those-- and I'm a wimpy beginner. But it's so much fun.

[@juansastre1729]

Your mustang is prettier than ever, Eric!

[@acoustically9201]

Just realised where Wilko Johnson (Dr Feelgood) developed his ''unique'' style. Combo of Bo Diddley and a guitarist called Mick Green (Johnny Kidd & the Pirates) who taught him to use short riffs in amongst the strumming - apparently this guy also influenced Townsend. It is simple and consistent down-up but like Nile Rodgers the genius part is the damping and the subtle hammer-ons that create the groove.

[@BellsCuriosityShop]

Drummer in The Pirates have lessons to Moonie

[@99vkh]

Cool!! Damn Cool !! Thanks Eric 👍 But, one small thing… I still did not get that angle part… if you can show that angle again in some other angle, it would be great!! 😊🎸🎸

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Noted!

[@paulpo999]

like that jacket

[@FlameFlickers]

That Mustang is so fucking beautiful, I think it's the nicest one I've ever seen. Can you please give it away in a competition and fix it so I'm the winner?? Thanks!

[@leandropeixoto9043]

I recently received a criticism from a bandmate who said that I "play acoustic guitar on the electric guitar". Maybe a video about the transition between instruments and their differences?

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Ooooh good idea! The main thing is muting - when I work with singer-songwriters I often recommend that!

[@BellsCuriosityShop]

Left and right hand damping is king.

[@dustylense]

I absolutely LUST for that Mustang!

[@roberthopkins3340]

Love your videos, you're the only guy out there who consistently covers most of my favorite guitarists. I was just wondering if you were at all aware of Rocket From the Tombs' work?

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Naw! I know Rocket From The Crypt - now adding Rocket From The Tombs to my playlist!

[@kin4351]

Quality

[@SardineAudio]

Nice, was that mustang white?

[@RockinfromtheGrave]

I think you just might be the only guy on KZbin who sounds in tune while playing a mustang.

[@videoaccount4323]

No Wonderwall?
