The Verlaine/Lloyd Dual-Guitar Thing

[@kilburncounty]

There are many things to love about The Haug. There's his great playing. There's the next level musicality of his teaching. There's the quality of his video work. But above all, what keeps me coming back is his outstanding musical taste. Verlaine, Thompson, Rebot, Ronson, Hendrix. It's like he's going through my vinyl, ignoring the crap, and teaching me the best of everything. Keep it up!

[@soulie13]

In defense of doing this instead of just working a specific song - it's like learning a recipe vs a technique in cooking. One gets you a meal, one is what builds the foundation for a wider understanding of cooking. Good lesson, and really great to see how to think through coming up with complimentary parts.

[@DallonAnderson]

We all needed this

[@KentBuchla]

Lloyd’s playing during Matthew Sweet’s career was his high water mark. Absolutely courageous and confident.

[@JeffCrowell11]

Didn’t know this. Which songs? Thanks.

[@ragnadrabinowitz7629]

you ever hear Lloyd’s solo records?

[@carljanssens8458]

A lot, almost the whole "Girlfriend". @@JeffCrowell11

[@carljanssens8458]

I think 🙂

[@tonyevans9999]

Television were huge for me growing up, and you touched on why with this. They played deliberately and with intent, hardly ever just bluesy noodling. I also adore Verlaine's solo records

[@petergoddard1960]

In 1977 Blondie and Television ventured forth from CBGB's for their first UK co-headline tour. I bore witness at the legendary Hammersmith Odeon where both bands absolutely blew the audience away. Blondie were fabulous, but it was Verlaine and Co that I fell in love with that night. All they had was Marquee Moon at the time, and it became my most played album that year.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

You lucky duck!

[@Arthur_My_Dear]

You’re the Tube’s Zen guitarist. It’s all so deliberate and many synonyms of deliberate. Diddly shreddilly be gone!

[@donyoung7874]

Yay! A Richard Thompson mention! That first Television album is a treat, especially See No Evil.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Yeah - nothing else like it!

[@Tonetwisters]

That Squier Jazzmaster is gorgeous.

[@dezmodium]

Mixolydian month sounds awesome. It's so prevalent across styles in the west. From acid rock, to stadium and hair metal, to traditional celtic music plucked on a harp.

[@MusicEnthuZone]

Hot take: Television are the proto punk Allman Brothers. Prove me wrong. (I love them both).

[@titussardonicus338]

Praise you, sir.

[@dcap4545]

RIP Tom!!

[@alejandrohualdez5550]

That Mixolydian scale IS Television!!!

[@noahvarley1300]

amazing - more television stuff!!

[@KMHoran]

I would love to see you interview Richard Lloyd. Lloyd is such a wonderfully weird guy who can also talk technique and theory, and is a great teacher himself.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Yeah! I've seen his stuff - he gets real mystical and mathematical!

[@continentalrock]

I once reached out to him asking him stuff about his guitar videos and he was nice enough to answer

[@geoffb9999]

Spot on ! As always. A little time with Eric on a Friday evening sets me up for the weekend

[@ST-xg3gy]

What a great pair! Verlaine and Lloyd.

[@chrisbush7746]

VERY SWEET Haugen san.....live long and prosper

[@brysonarabian7217]

Love this method of teaching. should do one for John Squire of the Stone Roses

[@whitewalls23]

Great stuff, would love to see a built to spill lesson one day!

[@pascalauzias5636]

Richard Thompson ❤️

[@joedent3323]

Excellent playing. Brilliant insights.

[@johnmonaghan1261]

I got that same JM recently. It's a GREAT guitar. Great value for the money.

[@karllongbottomguitars9192]

Love the three guitar approach 👌 👍

[@joshrichardson8780]

It could be implied from you video that Tom was the rhythm player and Richard was lead, but I think it is important to give Tom credit for playing many of the lead and melodic parts in Television’s music. Such a unique and instinctive style. Vibrato feels :) Those guys playing together was certainly magical.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Yeah it's true - Assertive Syncopation is merely ONE of the things Verlaine would do!

[@macsarcule]

Thank you, Eric! ✌️😌🎸

[@JaniceLalla]

Great guitars and playing and explanation

[@Thayne2222]

Ok but Tom does play a ton of the solos (the long marquee moon solo, the solo on Venus, the solo for 1880 or so). I’m not trying to be THAT ANNOYING DUDE WHO CORRECTS PEOPLE ON KZbin at all, I swear to god, I just want to make sure my boy Tommy is getting his due. You can see it in videos and also hear it in the sound (Tom has a more mellow sound, plays a lot more twisting, syncopated lines, and has that signature super fast vibrato, whereas Lloyd’s lines are a bit more scalar and have more blues material). I seriously am not trying to come off like THAT GUY, these videos are absolutely fantastic, you are utterly nailing both the sound, feel, and conceptual essence of the band, and more than anything I’m overjoyed that somebody is putting out sorely needed educational content on one the best bands of all time. Just wanted to put that out there. If I’ve been fooling myself all along, please let me know.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

I hear ya man!

[@dusty_dustbin_basementjamh4827]

Cool video Eric! Cool topic(s), cool playing. Thanks! Richard Lloyd played some really great, jangly parts on Matthew Sweet's Girlfriend album as well. Thanks again.

[@darwinsaye]

Excellent! Hey, Ever consider any Robert Quine stuff? Seems to be in your skronky /dissonant wheelhouse.

[@bruno_schumann]

I'd also love to see that.

[@maggieo]

Oh man, that would be great.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

He's on the list! I just haven't gotten around to it yet!

[@darwinsaye]

@@EricHaugenGuitar Excellent!

[@RyanHeitz]

We'd still love to see a Robert Quine video if you'd consider bumping up your list. 🙂 I would definitely purchase a whole class on Quine/Lloyd concepts!

[@kludgybrains3459]

Nailed it

[@swinehorde9118]

Richard Loyd and Josh Homme have a lot in common, in their phrasing.

[@notinterested8798]

Shout out to Adrian!

[@HootHinge]

Those satin jazzys are so smooth to play, great value

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Yeah - people need to know that the Indonesian Squiers are crazy good value!

[@PiotrHryncyszyn]

@@EricHaugenGuitar How much work do they need to setup properly? Sadly guitars in most stores have poor setup and it's hard to judge them. And offset guitars are notorious to have problems even in high end models :-/ I have a Vintera Tele and it did have issues with nut and electronics and this is simple design compared to offsets. It's hard for unexperienced people to judge in store which issues can be solved painlessly and which are just poor crafsmanship and I should look away or prepare to invest in luthier work.

[@JeffCrowell11]

Great video Eric. And that tone you are getting on the Squire is fantastic.

[@ryanhasan2516]

I’m sure I wasn’t the only one askimg for this, but thank you for granting my wish!

[@PastaPatate]

The strokes are one of my favorite bands and they have some fantastic interplay between guitars especially on the albums “Angles” and “Comedown Machine”.

[@danieli.9252]

You got a Jazzmaster!

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Just a loaner! But yeahhhhh they're nice - pretty much the most comfortable Fender to play!

[@grizwold10]

Mate - that’s sounds proper! 👌

[@Hannibalecture]

Incredible video really sounded like television. Have you thought about a video on any of jimi’s posthumous stuff? He was getting out there towards the end of his life would love to see you breakdown something like pali gap

[@peterkelly8357]

Looking forward to April Aeolian month and Melodic Minor May

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Or maybe I'll do themes like Angular April and Motown May.......

[@triton1044]

Hell yeah love a good Twin House Music shout-out!

Hey I just grabbed that guitar a few weeks ago when it went on clearance! Mine was money was it showed up too. I would say we have mighty fine taste (even tho it’s a squire lol)

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Real musicians respect the Squier badge :-)

[@wilburwokeii8298]

How’s Tom Verlaine doing?

Go listen to the Paul Butterfield blues opus East-West...the mixolydian thing will make a lot more sense

[@guitarosteelslinger5482]

For a second there on the open D chord I thought you were going to break into Rush - Fly By Night. Nice lesson.

Same!

Which one is it?

I get the no requests without a tip thing but have you ever checked out the Tom Petty song First Flash of Freedom? I can't find anyone on KZbin doing it. Keep on Truckin!

Ooooh good idea I'll add it to my list!

Slight tangent , signed up for you double stop TrueFire course but how can I download the backing tracks ta

Is that the J Mascis Jazzmaster?

Our brains tend to turn off when we see a long chord name. "minor seven flat five" is the same amount of syllables as "Philip Seymour Hoff-man" If we can remember that great actor, we can remember those chords :-)

Thought it was Fly By Night at first

Bro just gave me the chatGPT for Television 😦

hahahahaha I just watched the South Park episode on that last night!

I thought. It was. Fly by nite. By rush. It’s waaay closer to fly by nite than Tom petty. U need to do a add on to this video. Subconsciously. You had fly by nite. In you’re head. . It’s 100 times closer to fly by nite tan Tom petty

[@earlyspring415]

I never hear verlaine playing bends. it's all vibrato and pull offs.

Hi there,how are you doing? Is it worth buying a Squier or more specifically, that jazzmaster Keep going the good work, mate Thanks

Yes! Squier made in Indonesia stuff plays so good!
