Television "Days": Richard Lloyd & Tom Verlaine Guitar Lesson

[@timgroves3606]

Did you know that's Mr Tambourine Man backwards? Richard Lloyd told this to one of his students. Great taste as usual Eric, Television are my favourite ever band

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

+tim groves OMG you're totally right! Mind officially blown! That's brilliant! Thanks for the tip!

[@beseeingyou6]

Dude...

[@dermot51]

Mr Tambourine Man obviously but this is such a fantastic song ,beautiful regardless

[@victorjordan8428]

Thanks!

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Thank YOU Victor!

[@dfd95]

My favourite KZbin channel! Not only you're a great player, you have an excellent musical taste too...

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

+David Flórez Díaz Thanks so much, David! I really appreciate it! I figured that there's other guitar enthusiasts out there who share my eclectic taste - it's fun to find them all!

[@sangirardiecavicchi648]

Eric Haugen here’s another one, I share your taste! This is the best you tube channel ever!

[@davidpritchard5859]

Agreed

[@Mandrake591]

Eric, this is awesome, you're an excellent musician/teacher! "Days" is my favorite song by Television......

[@skeletonkey6]

This song & riff is gorgeous ❤

[@Tandle779]

old eric haugen played television bro that was so cool

[@nncoco]

It's great that I found someone online into the same guitar muic that I like. When the world was going crazy for grunge rock, I was listening to Television which I had stumbles on in a record store.

[@philtron1969]

One of my favorite songs!

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Yeah! That 2nd record is a little hit or miss, but there's some absolute gems on there!

[@MuggsyStyle]

one of the best channels on youtube guitar wise. you're the man eric

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Thanks so much man!

[@victorjordan8428]

really nice; a beautiful song; always wanted to learn it. will take some practice!

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Thanks! Enjoy!

[@danielcruz1263]

please please do a lesson on “The Dream’s Dream” whenever you can. You’re the best teacher for this stuff

[@Batcountryrat1227]

I started listening to television recently and this was the first song i heard. Instantly fell in love with it!! Also you did a great job filming the video

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

+Syed Alam Thanks Syed! They're such a great band! And only made 2 albums! Dense with greatness!

[@surferosad]

Actually (I'm going to be a nerd here, so forgive me), they made three records: Marquee Moon in 1977, Adventure in 1978 and a self-titled record in 1992.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

+surferosad Oh yeah I forgot about the '92 release! I'll have to give that one another listen!

[@davidewing55]

Hey Eric, definitely give their third album, just called Television another listen. It was recorded after they reformed about a decade later. There are some great songs on it. "Call Mr. Lee" has some really cool guitar parts. That would actually be a terrific lesson (hint, hint).

[@aprendizdebrujo100]

richard lloyd deserves more fame

[@AmericasChoice]

Yes!

[@GreenhorseRecords]

fave guitar channel - if i had the time i'd do a bass version

[@BRIANMACKIE72]

Thank you so so much. Going to learn this tomorrow - one of my all time favourite Television songs!! Just -THANK YOU!!! Awesome :-)

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

It's my pleasure, Brian! Have fun with it!

[@patrickcochran9133]

Dude... AWESOME

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Thanks Patrick! Viva Television!

[@foff4strings]

One of my favourite songs (by anyone). My only criticism is that I'm only allowed to 'like' this once. Obviously a fault with KZbin ;-) Great work, mate!

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Thanks so much, Charles! I really appreciate it!

[@michaelmendillo4614]

Wow !!! Very nice Eric ! Never heard this ! I really like it ! TY Brother ! As you mentioned , so simple, but sounds very rich,,,, 😁🖒

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Oh yeah! televisions a really cool band from the late 70s. They’ve only got 2 records, it they’re legendary 🤙

[@michaelmendillo4614]

@@EricHaugenGuitar like I said ! You have the Golden Ear ! They only have two records, but you remember them ! Lol !!! We are alike,,, when I hear something I like,,, I dont forget !!!! Put that stuff in the treasure chest !!!! Hahaha,,, 😁🖒✌

[@tomeisenmenger7048]

@@EricHaugenGuitar Well, three actually. They reformed in the early 90s and, while the resulting eponymous LP wasn't as classic as their first two 70s LPs, it was still superb.

[@pbomike]

Oh yeah! Awesome work, Erick.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

+Michael Hayes Thanks bro! As you can see, my backing track game is improving 😏

[@jacquesguillemin3129]

merci Eric, toujours clair, précis et talentueux

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

C'est mon plaisir! Je suis tellement content que vous l'ayez aimé!

[@jeremyrandall7228]

So rad

[@surferosad]

That solo took some work but I think I got it now. Thanks Eric!

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

+surferosad Yeah that run is weird! Took me forever to figure out! It's pretty sweet once you get it, though! Cheers!

[@surferosad]

It sure is a departure from the usual mindless pentatonics! It was fun learning it.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

+surferosad Totally! Some folks are really good at mindless pentatonics, but it's never really been my thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@surferosad]

I've been trying to get away from that, so I went looking for Richard Thompson guitar tutorials and I found your channel.

[@PMantle]

Real Estate finally covered this. Check out their version.

[@theeleven42]

Loving your channel!! Keep it up! Is there a video where you talk about your pedal board at all? Are you using any dirt on this or is that just your tweed pro turned up? Thanks!

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Thanks! That crunch is actually coming from my Strymon Deco - it's a great pedal! I've shot a playlist with rig rundowns of most of the gear you see me use, including the tweed and the pedal board: kzbin.info/aero/PLnWUjmH5ZikFiGfthi2J2XDyWdorthYLD I hope that helps!

[@jason1maze]

Dope tab on the solo!

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Thanks so much, Jason! That run took some time to figure out - it's got some weird jumps in it!

[@fredhamilton1701]

For the main rhythm part - you say it's Gmaj7 to D power chord. I've always played it as xx2032 to xx0232, just moving your index finger back and forth on the 2nd fret of the D and G strings. It's so simple and beautiful I feel like it's got to be right! What do you think? OK, pressing play again to learn all the fills and solos I definitely don't know how to play!

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

+Fred Hamilton Yeah, that'd work too! I just tried it and it sounds nice 😎

[@AmericasChoice]

My two favorite Post Punk guitar duos were Verlaine-Lloyd and Koppes - Wilson-Piper

[@buddyerkin1]

nice!

[@elwrongo]

fabulous, thankyou! I bet you like Talking Heads Fear of Music too

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

You know, I'm not too familiar with that record - I'm gonna have to put it back in the rotation!

[@TheMillionaire03]

Really helpful, thank you. I subscribe !

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Awesome! I'm glad my vid helped!

[@beseeingyou6]

Your guitars sound better than the original recording

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Ha! Thanks man - ribbon mics and reverb, that's my thing :-)

[@hkkl1314]

Anyone who might stumble upon this comment, who digs that "Adventure" guitar sound : Pick up an old Ampeg VT22. The same amp as the Ampeg B4s that Tom and Richard mostly used on Adventure, but with the speakers built in as a combo. Absolutely nails "Foxhole," "Ain't That Nothing," and "The Dream's Dream." And the live sound from Live at the Old Waldorf. They can be had for $700~ and will get you a tone like no other amp. (They weight 80 lbs, but it's a good tradeoff !) Gets pretty close to those Marquee Moon Super Reverb sounds, too. (Close enough for those guys on tour anyways!)

[@jonny1251]

One of my favourites.....does anyone else hear chorus on the recording of this?

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Yeah! There's some great songs on that second record!

[@andrewyerdon8671]

Friction lesson??

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

I gotta do that! I talk about the opening lead a bit in this vid though: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naCWpZxmiN-skMU

[@fredhamilton1701]

One of my favorite Television songs. I know how to play about 90% of everything on the first two albums - it's so awesome to finally learn the remaining 10%! Since it's been 3 long months since your last Television song...might I suggest "Guiding Light" (with "Days", the other loveliest Television song)? I always thought it was done in G with a capo on the 4th fret, but I recently saw a video of Jimmy Ripp doing it without a capo. Mind. Blown. Thanks again!

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Ooooh good idea! "Guiding Light" is a great choice. "Carried Away" would be cool to walkthrough also. So many beautiful choices!

[@fredhamilton1701]

Oh yeah - how did I forget "Carried Away"? Lots of beautiful little guitar flourishes throughout (though it's primarily guitar chords and keyboards). Amazing that the same guys that brought us See No Evil and Friction could also come up with songs so delicate and beautiful. Verlaine's "Song" from "Flash Light" is the culmination of all that for me - soft and hard, jam-packed with delicious riffs and an amazing solo, sweet and funny, and centered around one of the best lines in rock and roll: "When you wait...it is not hours...but some forgotten sense of time." I am so fond of TV!

[@lilianl6002]

You can also finish Richard LLoyd's mixolydian part on a chord like this : 10 7 6 0 x x It just adds the augmented fifth Verlaine is playing at the same time. Anyways, nice video thank you so much !

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Nice one - I like that chord a lot!

[@andrewmatus4479]

You should check out this song called blue cloud by Wand it’s very Television like

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Will do! Thanks for the rec!

[@aprendizdebrujo100]

I'd like to find one explanation like this, to all the television songs...

[@robsthedon]

😎

[@blakewhittington4336]

I heard they only played this live like 6 times because Tom found it difficult to sing and play live

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

I could see that being the case - it'd be tricky to keep that picking pattern going and sing!

[@tonypizza8571]

"cos he's smart and talented - and that's why he's famous". Haha. Well said man

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Ha ha ha

RICHARD LLOYD IS NOT AS FAMOUS AS HE DESERVES-
