My friend Eric McFadden is not only a great electric guitar player and singer, he’s also a great flamenco guitar player. Here, he shows us his approach to Jimi Hendrix’s Manic Depression, wrestling his Strat like it’s a wild animal, but also check out his crazy acoustic flamingo guitar licks!

Bruh! The guitar tonal range during Manic Depression just blew the top of my head off. You guys sounded phenomenal, thanks for sharing this with us. 🙏

[@sionmichel]

Thank you Tim! You are so generous with your giving back to all of us who yearn to have chops like you and Eric have mastered. Crazy cool with the nod to Jimi, channeling the Reckless Abandon!

[@benharrison7244]

Stumbled across this .. Eric played on the first album of a band I played with called Saddlesores and one night we both played lead/rhythm guitar on stage together at Sonny’s Bar .. I felt elevated playing with him .. like I was able to be better because he was so far beyond me yet he was sharing the spaces and pulling me along with him.., it was pretty magical from what some of the (drunkish) friends in the audience said …

[@57stratkat]

eric is so incredibly talented - as a singer, guitarist ,LYRICIST , and songwriter

[@donakin8562]

The best ever

[@57stratkat]

he did a solo acoustic house party in Seattle a few years ago and I was lucky enough to get invited. I was gobsmacked at how great he is. And a nice guy too.

[@superchicken5000]

Eric’s unique vibrato gives it a very sitar-like sound. I gotta learn that!

[@rs-xr3ty]

Best episode! So much packed in there. Thanks guys

[@javierf55]

Amazing!!! Great video as all of Yours, full of talent and joy

[@jonlennon3348]

Eric is a fabulously talented Maestro for sure. Tim you are awesome as well but I love Eric's voice , it fits Hendrix music perfectly.

[@ronlight7013]

I think Eric is a fellow Bay Area resident where I've seen him perform a few times in noir revue settings. It blows me away to hear about his first exposure to flamenco at the feet of instructor John Truitt. As local Albuquerqueians know, John is a local treasure. I studied alto sax with Truitt for a couple of years, and he played solo guitar and with his jazz band Alma at my New Mexico wedding. That was a long time ago, in 1982. Hail Albuquerque! Hail John Truitt! And hail Eric McFadden!

[@ericmcfadden3142]

Hey Ron!

[@slowpoke7888]

Awesome. I just love that "reckless abandon" approach to playing.

[@RockHardRiffs]

One of my favorite Hendrix songs. Great stuff!

[@barrymckinley5330]

Mine too, RHR, I play drums, so I love Mitchell 's tom-tom, throw down, on the original. These guys had that drum stuff in there !

[@jeffbenson6102]

R.I.P. Steve Maese. I took some lessons from his as well and saw him play several times. You guys rock! It's great that you represent Burque so well.

[@chrisdiceart]

Man cool playing! and some wild chops! :D

[@williamburns7821]

Eric made a new term and I love it. Hendrixian!

[@crazycat6272]

awesome playing, tone & voice!!! 3:00-3:15 reminds me of tune green eyed lady from sugarloaf too.

[@sparkeyjones6261]

I used to bump into Eric in San Francisco constantly just walking around my neighborhood or at the many live shows I used to attend. Last time was in a Kinkos where he and Eric Burdon were trying to print flyers for a European tour they were leaving for in the morning. Being an IT guy at the time, I was happy to help them ;)

[@TheOpenAirGarage]

Eric is from the ABQ also, WOW! He has monster chops and technique!

[@RedRose4711]

Now that was fabulous!

[@sno112]

Amazing content, Tim!

[@joerobinson6199]

Eric does a great Red House too. Lots to of great Supro demos as well. He’s very talented. Glad Tim brought him on.

[@dapperdanman1956]

Killin it Tim and Eric

[@seasider101]

That was outstanding musicianship.

[@postlude1]

Great playing but also... what a voice!

[@christopherburnett1745]

This dude is ridiculous! With his flamenco playing, I'd love to see him do something with Rodrigo y Gabriela! Maybe a tour.... I've gotta catch him live! Great video!

[@russell90ful]

amazing brilliant thanks for sharing

[@elvagabundovatti]

Wow, thats cool. I saw Eric years ago in a tiny club in southern spain (El Palmar near Tarifa). He played with a little band. A female bass player was in his band too.. It was awesome. Like him. Greetz

[@ericmcfadden3142]

I remember the El Palmar gig! beautiful place

[@cullenjames7542]

Love Eric McFadden

[@SimonGrantUnltd]

Eric would be an excellent guest for Tim & Pete’s Guitar show!

[@johncore363]

Outstanding

[@Jonas5163]

Very, very cool!

[@geepcj2a]

You guys were great!

[@StealthParrot]

Wow is Eric incredible!

[@alejandroblanco2071]

Wow Eric McFadden tremendous musician !! , definitely not Flamenco , but it does have an undeniable flavor of Spanish Rumba when he picks up the nylon string guitar.

[@rjmoore3]

Just wonderful to hear and watch. Does anyone know what guitar spec that Trussart has and Tim how are you liking the prs mayer thingy, is it worth investigating?

[@RedRose4711]

Man I love Normans!

[@guitarzilla]

Eric came over to my beach bungalow in OB San Diego. I think that was before he played w George Clinton. I went to Albuquerque, NM and hung out with his old friends and his brother Ivan.

[@jurgenwolf518]

Hey Tim; your videos are awsome, inspiring and motivating to me! 👍🏽

[@celebratingtheclassicswithearl]

Get it Mcfadden! Bad ass

[@JohnCline]

Fan-frikin-tastic!

[@skittlesstarburst4532]

So that’s what’s Tim’s rooms looks like!!

[@robertbrown2728]

Eric's stratty guitar sounds great; and similar to Jimi's sound on the original recording. Sort of dirty in a clean way. I often think people have forgotten how relatively clean Jimi's sound could be compared with modern high gain metal type sounds.

[@barrymckinley5330]

Ahhhh, Reckless Abandon indeed. Like, you know what you know, no matter what 'level' you're at with the instrument...you got all your 'chops'...now...forget 'em, and just PLAY!! That's the most Hendrixian way !

[@MG-jw6uy]

There's Smoke coming out of the guitar!!

[@Sam-w9des]

WOW!!!

[@VonBluesman]

Check out Anders Osborn New Orleans Jazz Fest 2016 and hear Eric play amazing guitar and mandolin. Eric is an amazing artist that can play anything anytime anywhere on just about any kind of instrument made.

[@jukejointjack]

[@billbong171]

Anyone know what guitar Eric is using? One of coolest looking I've seen - doesn't sound too bad either:)

[@DarkMetalJazzPunk]

James Trussart "steel o matic"

[@justinbouchard]

I didn't know vin diesel grew his hair and could shred

[@babetteleblanc7620]

Justin B. - he even talks like him. Fabulous player.

[@zoggowozere]

So Tim can play bass like a pro, for flips sake. All this talent giving me a headache :)

[@jayhernandez8965]

The moral of the story is you MUST leave Albuquerque to make it in music.

[@DARKSIDEOFURANUS]

Not the Hendrix funk groove

[@probusexcogitatoris736]

Great guitarist, but really dislike his vibrato on the Hendrix tune. Sounds like a spring effect from some cartoon :D Enough negativity. Great video!
