My fave guitar teacher teaching my fav band. What a treat!

[@highrollerdiscs805]

Eric is the man!! im with you!!

[@Whitewallsessions]

Always amazing how the great players can take the major pentatonic and make it sound so compelling and fresh.

[@sandem100]

Never heard of Khruangbin before this, now I’m hooked!

[@MattAngiono]

Best elevator music ever lol

[@moldyjames439]

Listen to Dearest Alfred

[@markkindermannart4028]

I’m a huge Khruangbin fan and a huge Eric Haugen fan… perfect together!

[@annubisbones]

Fantastic lesson from a great band. Beyond their world music/funk/r&b influence, Mark said in an interview that his main admiration and influence for his tone/playing is Ernie Isley from the Isley Brothers. Thanks Eric! 👏🏼

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Yeah! The Isley Bros are often overlooked but they're great!

[@lueyav]

And Kassav’ 👌😌

[@cameronvillarrealLp]

I love you so much for this Eric. If you just keep doing Khruangbin lessons I’d be ok with that. “People everywhere” is another great track from this album. Mark has been one of my fav modern guitarists, cool to see him get more recognition lately.

[@Smitty_Werbenjagermanjenson]

One of my favorite tracks from one of my favorite bands. My body is ready

[@pwarner]

Love seeing you talk about Khruangbin! I don’t hear people talk about them much from the rock/guitar world and I think it’s such a shame because they’re stuff is so musical and sick. Mark’s playing is so tasteful!

[@guitarz]

fantastic tone lesson from Khruangbin

[@fairphantom7451]

Going to see them this June! Mark is a favorite of mine. 🖤🖤👍👍

[@edricnibbelin6601]

Awesome lesson! This time a year ago I had never heard of Khruangbin but nowadays i'm obsessed with them!

[@slayer24x]

Love Khruangbin, was literally just trying to learn how to play this! Great timing.

[@TheRupi78]

J'adore Khruangbin. Grandissimi. And Bravo to you!

[@typewritermark]

It is important that a teacher shows and says they are constantly learning. Thank you., Warren also suggested a technique of using a wah open on a bass through a guitar amp to add to a "wall of sound". Thanks for being a great teacher.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Yes! It's very important to know that we know nothing!

[@erik2446]

Great choice for a very cool lesson with lots of great insights! Thank you so much for all of your work on this and...more Khruangbin!

[@stephaniemoura9325]

My favourite band! 💛

[@FetAlfredo]

Love that you played this! Khruangbin are my favourite.

[@chrisg5271]

Hey I can’t be watching everything but Eric certainly never falters as his ethos is 100% helping massively thanks Eric what a lovely teacher

[@CGDGCD]

The teenage me would never engage a wah pedal and not go to town on it. The adult me is intrigued by the tonal possibilities.... but would still not be able to resist lol. Great video Eric.

[@antonakis79ohyes]

Thank you so much for this lesson, you are a truly inspiring teacher!

[@BCEpedals]

Eric you’re a textural guru, perfect every time!

[@RobertSlover]

finally! so great to see this. man that wah trick is awesome i think i first saw that being utilized in the great doc "last days at the fillmore" by quicksilver messenger service. totally changed my idea of tone when approaching a lot of music.

[@highrollerdiscs805]

Gem of a professional. Eric bless your heart. im not sure if your produce all you videos and editing solo but im always happy im alive when you post a video

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Thanks man! It's all me - can't afford to pay someone else to do it!

[@brunoantony9257]

Thanks! We need more Khruangbin guitar lesson videos!!!

[@richj4305]

Thank you very Very much for this and all you do . My buddy got me into this band recently and I'm very excited to learn this. You are appreciated my friend.

[@macsarcule]

Love lessons about feel and texture, thanks so much, Eric! ✌️😌🎸

[@tb770]

Great video and teaching style 🙏

[@mrmeeks85]

I saw them live in the summer and I haven't been the same since lol

[@Praise-Den]

This one in particular was really great. Thanks for making these lessons available!

[@MrPete-pe6uk]

great breakdown....thank you

[@Matthew-Lewis]

Thanks for another excellent lesson, Eric! I pretty much got it down with one play through because its so catchy and was demonstrated so well. Not executed perfectly but understood and working it up to speed now. Fiddly-doos aren't easy. Still bought the tab to show my appreciation. The new site looks good and I'm stoked to have the backing track to jam with! Its going to be a fun Saturday, thanks!

[@maxm1123]

Great tutorial, thank you!

[@741246]

I've been playing a lot of these guys lately but haven't got to this tune yet. Thanks!

[@recognizeHeaven]

nice carpet. reminds me of some asian buddhist or hinduism motivs. appears like an old memory. thanks for your video. you make a huge impact and it definetely will return to you

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Thanks so much my buddy!

[@johnandre5558]

Cool, a new band to me. Listened to a few of their songs. What sticks out to me is the bass and drums. Great groove. Makes me want to play bass.

[@malcolmmcatee3752]

i have been really enjoying the dub version of this song...i like what Mark does with expression pedal to adjust the delay time. Cool stuff

[@nealpike6611]

Been waiting for a khruangbin video for a long time

[@richardlynch5632]

This chord progression lends itself to much inspiration 😁 😎👍❤🖖

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

The ol' rhythm changes strikes again!

[@richardlynch5632]

@@EricHaugenGuitar Gotta fill the groove, and having the inspiration driving EVERYTHING...!!!😉👍 😎👍❤🖖

[@gimmenames9039]

Great lesson, beautiful music! Bought the tabs and pls more of Khruangbin and similar!!

[@BathedInMilk]

Gotta be honest, I'm amazed by Khurangbin's popularity. Even though I am a fully paid up member of the 60's Psych Garage Sound Lovers Club, they've never done it for me. But just from this comment section I can see how much people love them. Feel like I'm missing something.

[@brian-baker]

I think they catch you more if you’re into dub or soul music.

[@CMvidproductions]

Been with you following the channel for years and just got into this band a week or so ago.. fun little synchronicity for me. Great tone on this song too btw 😎

[@Baci302]

I love this song. Thanks for covering it Eric. Sounding good. The pick attack is perfect! lol

[@oooomz7578]

You have amazing taste

[@mantashaft]

ohhhhh.... I will be trying this tonight

[@DeFiSiYT]

I can’t believe it took me sooo long to watch this video! One of my all-time favourite bands and my all-time favourite teacher! I know which tab I’m grabbing from your store next time 😅 And yeah, I saw that Bobby McFerrin clip about the pentatonic scale too! 👍

[@reverb.deluxe]

Another fun tune to play if you want those Wes Montgomery octaves is Brian Auger & The Trinity's "Isola Natale".

[@JS-nf1sn]

Thank you Eric!

[@Weshopwizard]

Syrupy sweet tone ya got there!!!!! ❤❤❤

[@scottjones6624]

Tremelo picking tip very appreciated

[@karllongbottomguitars9192]

Another band to look up , thanks buddy 👍

[@chrismason4224]

Instrumental Khraungbin is the best Khraungbin.

[@Weshopwizard]

Indeed. Also love the medleys they do. The hip hop one is 🔥.

[@garmacintyre]

King gizzard and the lizard wizard also use the always-on wah trick a bunch as well

[@scottjones6624]

Never heard of this band - super cool. Going down the rabbit hole! Thanks. Hoping for your next truefire course to come out soon.....just sayin'

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Guitar Zen: Improv Strategies comes out Feb 28th and the pre-order link is live! yay! erichaugenguitar.com/pages/guitar-zen-courses

[@pascalauzias5636]

Wes Montgomery ❤️

[@trinacria1956]

Need to be in corrugated metal side barn in Burton, TX to get that sound + they use a Fisher Space Expander reverb

[@gab_ale]

Wow. Had not seen that amp in ages. P.S. Love Khruangbin.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Yeah! I re-borrowed it - MAN ITS GOOD. BIG glass BIG Iron = nice full hi-fi sound

[@gab_ale]

@@EricHaugenGuitar Sure sounds tasty.

[@uppermids]

Thank you!

[@dustylense]

thank you for not calling out fret numbers! It's so BORING. 10 on the 2nd string to 14 on the 2nd string. Paint by number morning sky...Looks so phony

[@sk0116]

I will get by!

[@madsbrandt598]

Great video, thanks so much! I think you would play the note lengths in the song differently if you didnt use that much reverb, dunno whats best. Keem em' coming

[@DallonAnderson]

Yes!!

[@trinacria1956]

If they teach your stuff on KZbin you arrived. Remember when they were just a cool local band I liked but said: " instrumental band! They need a good singer " who knew!

[@2manyhobbiezz]

🤯🤯🤯 worlds are colliding

[@lemaitrethemonk]

NICE!

[@HyperBlueZYZ]

“Plurp” goes the grace note…

[@chadashworth252]

YES!!

[@hh4826]

I don't have a wah but trying this was a fun lesson lol. Eric, I was wondering if you listen to and play any of the guitar parts from Tom Waits material? I watched a video from a guy called Danny Eddy and learned a lot about how guitars are used in Waits' music. Really opened my ear up and I discovered a lot of great players.

[@gougedaway]

There are a number of Marc Ribot (Tom Waits guitarist) tracks on Eric’s channel.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

I LOVE Tom Waits/Marc Ribot and have a whole playlist of lessons! kzbin.info/aero/PLnWUjmH5ZikF-bY6IVdvCoNqwL-MxgIt2

[@greenmanalishi6963]

Leaving the wah cocked on creates an out of phase sound like peter green

[@lairdhanstrum6335]

How Ironic is this, I got an ad for you before Cardi B's Money? Almost as great as the Top Gun trailer before a NOFX song. This algorithm doesn't seem to be too nuanced.

[@landonbrown7106]

Any tips for achieving this sound with the presets in Fender Tone? Have a GTX 100

[@matthewmcnamara5650]

Great song. I recommended/asked for a lesson on this from another one of my Patreon guys a few years back and never heard back. Maybe you intercepted the email!!!!

[@arvh4310]

What we're You singing when You checked your tuning??

[@samkilgore9720]

Can you try teaching the Number 3 by Khruangbin?

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

I'll add it to my list!

[@clampgod978]

I’m so mad that I’m just discovering this video now

[@Heartilla]

Book lessons? You have book lessons Eric?

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

I wish! I mean "book" as in "schedule" one-on-one zoom sessions with me :-)

[@pm8278]

Slide on the wild side..... 😂

[@mweb47729]

This might have ruined Khruangbin for me. I can't help thinking "fiddly doo" every time Mark Speer fiddly-doos. He does it a lot. Fiddly doo, fiddly doo!
