Precision of the picking hand - that's what it's all about!
This lesson started as a "best practices for 12 string jangle producticity" idea, but steadily morphed into a desert blues/Mdou Moctar/Tinariwen/Ali Farka Touré thing.

If there's someone who could bring my love for guitar playing back, it's Haugen, the old Haudegen

@EricHaugenGuitar 4 года назад

Yay! Guitar can be such a friend - especially in times like these!

@brndgtl 4 года назад

Love the vibe of this, Eric. It draws on tonnes of Eastern and African music that can be a real inspiration when you're stuck in a rut - widens the musical mind. Sometimes I dig into Tinariwen/Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan/Ali Farka Touré/Geoffrey Oryema or folks like Peter Gabriel and Ry Cooder who have put a Western slant on lots of this music. There's a Sergio Leone spaghetti western thing going on here too which would be a cool lesson idea - some Ennio Morricone, given the sad news this week. Also, please please please stop making me want a 12-string any more than I already do :)

@Jason.Brayshaw 4 года назад

Now that you mention it, yeah I can hear Ali Farka Touré as well. Great stuff!

@EricHaugenGuitar 4 года назад

Yeah there's so much Morricone to play around with! The man certainly left behind quite a legacy 🙌

@blaseuropa 4 года назад

Super cool lesson as always, the one about this scales crossed with Hendrix style was great too. Love this kind of music, discovered it years ago, did you see Scorsese's first chapter of The Blues serie? It was dedicated to the roots of the blues, and Ali Farka Toure appeared talking about when he first listened to JL Hooker, he was surprised to recognize the west African music roots. Just listen to the intro to "My fist wife left me"... pure desert blues. By the way... even your "I don't do fancy stuff" is almost literally stolen from the Boogie man himself! ;-)

@EricHaugenGuitar 4 года назад

Thanks for always bringing interesting stuff . I am self taught and always confused about rt hand technique.. do you recommend fixing the wrist on the bridge usually ? Honestly I don't.

@EricHaugenGuitar 4 года назад

good question! You want to make sure that most of your movement is from your wrist and not your elbow - that throws too much weight into the pick. Anchoring lighty usually helps - the key is that it's all done with a light touch!
