Tom Waits "Jockey Full Of Bourbon: Guitar Lesson

[@brndgtl]

Just love these Ribot videos. Such an unusual and distinct player

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

+Pete Clarke Yeah, there's no one like him! So fearless.

[@Yesternow]

Thanks!

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Thanks so much!

[@JCloyd-ys1fm]

Thanks. Ribot's work on Rain Dogs is exquisite. You helped fill in a few of the areas I was having problems with by ear.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Yeah! That album is part of my DNA by now. So many great songs of all different varieties! Killer avatar pic, btw!

[@stromboli_IS_ALIvE]

You're a great player dude. Ribot is one of my favorites so I appreciate these videos. Keep up the good work!

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

+Thijs Van Meeuwen Thanks so much! I, too, really admire Marc Ribot. I'm so happy that the things I've figured out are valuable to other interesting guitarists around the world!

[@robertfkaz7013]

Once again thanks so much Eric. The choice of songs you teach are incredible. I always wanted to learn this one. Thanks for the breakdown . It really helps to understand this wonderful style of playing.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

It’s my pleasure! The Marc Ribot/Tom Waits combo is one of my favorite things - those two complement each other so perfectly!

[@inUR2teeth]

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your excellent videos and to have made me discover Marc Ribot... I Feel your lessons will take me to a whole new dimension. Again thank you.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Excellent! Ribot is a real unique artist - there's no one quite like him! Thanks for tuning in!

[@kitpalmer1583]

awesome video, love that you spend more time on analysing what Ribot's doing than painstakingly going over each note 3 times in slow mo. now I can learn the solo, *and* apply the ideas to my own playing. you've got a new subscriber on your hands, cheers!

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Thanks! Yeah, I think it's important to try and understand what these geniuses were thinking! It's all well and good to learn some awesome lick perfectly, but if we don't see where it's coming from, then we can't adapt it to suit our own purposes later on!

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Thanks Frank! Sometimes people are ready to hit the "dislike" button as soon as they see the title - your positivity is much appreciated!

[@frankgrimm387]

@@EricHaugenGuitar Eh, I'd just not watch if I wasn't interested. Here's where I become an ass and criticize someone more skilled than myself tho- I think Ribot slides from the second to the 4th frets (the chromatic lick) and I also think you play it too gently... It sounds to me as if he is striking and fretting pretty hard on the strings. But then again, I suck so...Keep doing what yer doing, please. I appreciate it.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Yeah Marc beats the heck outta the guitar! Usually, I'm a gentleman - gotta work out some aggression on the fretboard to really get his sound :-)

[@frankgrimm387]

@@EricHaugenGuitar I was sitting here playing it with my fingers on an acoustic thinking how horrible I sounded... Good job tho man, and thanks again. This guy's style is something that I have appreciate a long time. The awkward leads, I love.

[@cryptojew6443]

Ok got it. Love to see the fills during verse and the runs on chorus. Also temptatiom would be gnarly.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

oooh good idea!

[@jspanos500]

Love your tone. When I play out it's with my Silvertone 1484. Delicious tremolo.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Yeah! Those 1484s have great trem!

[@Crypt0lamb]

Jesus, even better than last video, thanks gain. beautiful

[@adadogod]

Just discovered your channel and really enjoy the lessons, sounds, and most of all your playing. You also pushed me over the edge on the purchase of a Strymon Deco :)

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Thanks so much, and congrats on the deco! It's my desert island pedal. The Saturation mode alone is worth it. But the fact that it also can do flange, chorus, and delay - amazing!

[@jeffreyadams4952]

Thanks so much for doing this I love this song and now I'm playing it!!

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

It's my pleasure, Jeffrey! Ribot plays some great stuff on there and it's not even that hard to cop! (^。^)y-.。o○

[@jakewild4285]

rocks... so hard. thanks man!

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Thanks Jake! Ribot licks 4 eva

[@BenwaMeneers]

Can you do Hoist That Rag (solo and/or chords) ? :)

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Good idea! I've got it about halfway figured out - I just gotta make sure I get it exactly right before I post a lesson :-)

hi ERIC: yeeah. one of my fav songs from Mr. Waits.excapt "Walking spanish. a great album the Rain Dogs. g from g

[@fotoniknoise]

Amazing, thanks

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

+Ali Beidoun Yeah buddy! Have fun with it!

[@Saganite]

Hi Eric, revisiting this while doing some gear research. Am I hearing slapback from the Deco here?

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Not likely - I actually never use the right side of the deco, sounds too computery. My favorite delay pedal is my malekko ekko 616 dark analog delay - it's greasy, and has a slight boost built in when you engage it! malekkoheavyindustry.com/product/ekko-616-mkii-fe/

[@Saganite]

@@EricHaugenGuitar Ah, bummer. I was interested in picking up a Deco specifically for Beatlesy double tracker stuff and was hoping it could do double duty and provide slapback as well. Picked up a Keeley 30ms, and it also sounds too digital. Thanks, I'll check out the 616.

[@stephentangerine]

Great sound! What version of telecaster are you playing and what pickups do you have in it?

[@rzvncj]

It might be useful to mention somewhere that both solos are in E harmonic minor, which explains that D# that keeps popping up.

[@fattylumpkin9209]

sick

[@Guenterkim]

Thank you!

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

It's my pleasure! I'm glad you liked it!

[@glens8341]

Don't know why, but the Munsters theme song keeps popping into my head when I listen to this....

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

I can hear it !

[@FlatlandMando]

This sounds so good as a solo for this song. Don't see anyone having a good solo for the tenor uke but I would like to.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Ooooh that would be cool!

[@clear_destination]

Greetings from Toronto Eric . I have been watching your videos for the past two nights and have just taken out my guitar , which I have not touched for 3 years . Your videos are perfect , clear , concise . Thank you and keep them coming . Are you in a band ??

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Thanks Pete! Greetings from NC, USA! I'm so glad to hear that my videos have got you pickin' again! And yup, I stay busy with my full time band, www.theoutboards.com/, as well as sitting in with other talented indie artists www.erichaugenguitar.com/career/

[@clear_destination]

Just listened to your band , very good . Pungo , Reservoir and The Ride have hints of sound from the British Invasion era . Your band sounds excellent .

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

+Peter Tomlinson Thanks for listening, Peter! We've actually got a new record out and I'm quite happy with it - more of the same sound, but with a bit of Tom Petty/The Police in there 😎

[@butaleo]

THANKS GREAT!!

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

+Levan Birkadze It's my pleasure! ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪

[@ronlight7013]

Eric, how would you characterize the song's rhythm? It sounds somewhat calypso to me ;-)

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

I would've never made that connection, but now that you mention it, I can totally hear it!

[@henryewbaker]

Great guitar work. Awesome tremolo sound too - is that from the amp?

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Thanks Henry! The Tremolo in this vid is actually coming from my Strymon Flint pedal.

[@henryewbaker]

Wow - they're great pedals... could've had me fooled ;)

[@spinnact]

@@EricHaugenGuitar Hey Eric, are there any other effects you're using beyond reverb and tremolo? It's such a specific sound!

[@ronlight7013]

Eric, did you ever happen to tab this out? :-)

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Hi Ron! Yup, I've got all my Waits/Ribot stuff up on my webstore: www.erichaugenguitar.com/tab-store?tag=Tom+Waits%2FMarc+Ribot

[@CriticallyAlive]

This is exactly what I needed to help revolutionize my guitar playing, would you consider doing Maria Mckee's Breathe?? Marc ribot does some wild things with the guitar on that and I just can't seem to figure it out! Either way I love what you've done here and thank you!

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

I just looked that one up you're right it's crazy! What's especially interesting is how much his playing on that track sounds like Richard Thompson - another one of my faves! I'll add it to my "songs to figure out" list!

[@DunlapShohl]

It sounds like Thompson because it is Thompson. Both he and Ribot contributed guitar parts to the self-titled Maria McKee album. Unfortunately they never play together on the same song. Still, a wonderful recording

[@royangles]

at wich tempo is he playing

[@michealfitzgerald3415]

Hey man, is there any chance you could do one for shake it off real gone? Or even a cover? These videos are great, much appreciated!

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Oooh those are all great ideas! I'll add 'em to my list!

[@michealfitzgerald3415]

Cheers bud, looking forward to more!

[@mma1st105]

I'm not really a Bonamassa fan but his cover is really good.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

I was getting ready roll my eyes at that cover too, but I agree! I like that he didn't try at all to cop Tom's thing - he went his own way and respect that!

[@papanchopo]

At the end of the opening solo he(ribot) does something weird with the 3rd string it seems he slides down very fast before strumming the 6th, very subtle and hard to understand

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

I call those "trails" - very vocal thing to do. Hendrix, Santana - all the classic great players do it. As a note is decaying, you let your hand fall back towards the headstock

[@papanchopo]

@@EricHaugenGuitar you could say Ribot is a classic now too, he sounds so simple, but rich in details

[@papanchopo]

Eric Haugen other thing, I think when he does the 2nd ‘chromatic’ he slides the 4th string to the 10th fret 🤔

[@shyg7y412]

hey what are the chords for the verses? sorry I'm a dumbass so I couldn't tell.
