This lesson was inspired my Nick Drake's "One Of These Things First." There's gorgeous open tuned sus2 and 6th chords in that piece, which led me to construct this exercise.

Lovely lesson. I've realised I'm much more drawn to folk style/fingerpicking guitar than solos. It's mesmerising finding open chord voicings that give you chills - and just knowing a tiny bit of musical theory makes it much easier. Cheers!

@EricHaugenGuitar 5 лет назад

Thanks Richard! I love what a relatively untapped resource open tunings are! There's still so much magic left to discover!

@tylerwareham940 Год назад

Same. I am obsessed with Joni Mitchell and her weird tunings. Her album Hejira is one of my favourites.

@mjt11860 6 лет назад

beautiful chordings. nick drake was a genius.

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Indeed! There's so much creativity and innovation in his relatively small body of works!

Nick drake, my fave acoustic guy, you impress me Eric.

@EricHaugenGuitar 7 лет назад

He's a special character. So haunting and melodious!

@EricHaugenGuitar 7 лет назад

Very cool! I had no idea his mum was a recording artist as well - totally can hear the relation!

just a home recording I believe, I really like her voice

@markholter5687 7 лет назад

Yes, I first heard this on a podcast about Drake. It was really an aha moment for me.

@thecaveofthedead 6 лет назад

"Everything is full of questions." Nice summation of Nick Drake. Great lesson. My first adventure into Nick Drake's style. Very exciting. Thanks Eric.

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Cool! I'm happy to provide the portal into Nick Drake's world :-)

@thecaveofthedead 6 лет назад

Although... as I checked out more vids... did he actually play anything in open D? No issues since I already used it as my fave slide tuning, but I was kind of hoping I could use it to learn some of his pieces?

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Good point! "One of These Things First" is in Open E, which you could achieve by capoing up 2 frets. Also, all of Bob Dylan's "Blood on the Tracks" record is in Open D capo 2. "Pink Moon" and "Parasite" are in Open C. "River Man" and "Things Behind the Sun" are standard :-)

@thecaveofthedead 6 лет назад

Thanks! Definitely much more to open D than I thought from my Elmore James experience. Also hoping to get an EHX pitchfork for a variety of reasons - but it'll be pretty cool on slide to instantly switch between E and D. Anyway thanks again for this lesson. Your lessons are some of the most rut-busting on youtube.

@liamlawson3915 7 лет назад

Sounds amazing! I love nick drake and his playing style; I can't play for a few months because of tendonitis so these great lessons are killing me 😩 thanks so much for the vid!

@EricHaugenGuitar 7 лет назад

Daaaang! That sucks about the tendonitis! A guitar player's worst nightmare! I'll keep my fingers crossed for a speedy recovery for ya :-)

@liamlawson3915 7 лет назад

Thanks man, I'll keep adding the vids to favourites for when I come back haha

@pepppery 3 года назад

This is a good lesson, especially if you're going after His ( Nick's) style as opposed to trying to trying to sound just like him. Since Nick wrote a lot of songs on a classical, give that a whirl too.

@EricHaugenGuitar 3 года назад

Good idea!

@pepppery 3 года назад

@@EricHaugenGuitar Cool, also fun fact Nick liked to play nickel wound strings on his steel string guitars that were dead AF. The more you know...

@akileish23 7 лет назад

This gave me a glimpse of Nick Drake's thought process when he came up with those haunting guitar parts. Thanks so much Eric! Please make lessons on Nick Drake's songs. There are precious few quality lessons on his songs made by people like Gareth Evans. My personal request is 'Hanging On A Star' (the Open C version in "Made To Love Magic"). Thanks again!

@EricHaugenGuitar 7 лет назад

Ooooh good idea! I know a handful of his tunes/tunings - I'll have to get to wok filming some lessons :-)

@EricHaugenGuitar 7 лет назад

Thanks so much Jonathan! I LOVE Nick Drake - gotta do some more investigations into his style :-)

@nathanricker1 5 лет назад

I dig it man. I really enjoy the way you lead with practical application and then branch out into general application of the techniques/ideas for different use cases. Making it generally applicable and easily built upon. The only thing more inspiring than your playing is your method. I’m in the middle of an epic binge. Netflix has nothing on you. Thanks.

@EricHaugenGuitar 5 лет назад

Dude thanks so much man! I've got an old ex-hippie jazz drummer teacher friend who laid some wisdom on me years ago. He was like, "You can either learn songs, or you can learn the INSTRUMENT." I think about that whenever I share something on here - for me, it's never enough to just show the movements, I try to go a step further and get to the true source. The ideas!

@nathanricker1 5 лет назад

You, apparently, have better luck with drummers than i do ha. Anyway, its a fantastic approach. Regardless of the students LEARNING style. Which, i think, is about the raddest thing a teacher can do. You, sir, are one "sweet sweet chewbacca"

@EricHaugenGuitar 5 лет назад

This is incredibly interesting. Could you post more open/alternative tuning videos similar to this one explaining chord fingerings and licks? I'd really be into it. Thank you for your channel. I've learned so much since discovering it. Thanks, Eric.

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Thanks Joe! Yeah, open tunings and altered tunings are still a relatively untapped area of guitar exploration. So mysterious!

Eric.. you've def got Mr D down - there is quite a furore over here about him again due to him recently being inducted into the folk hall of fame here in the UK (have a breeze through BBC catch up as there is a lot about the string arrangements that influences Drakes composition so much..) aced it again..

That guitar sounds really good. You should do a demo of it. I've been looking for an acoustic size between a dreadnought and a parlor, this is perfect. These Goyas are impossible to find, though, even in Europe.

@EricHaugenGuitar 7 лет назад

+Andrea Austoni Thanks my brother! It's funny - whenever I bring in the Goya to get worked on my tech rolls his eyes and says, "when are you gonna get a real acoustic??" But I love that guitar! So mellow!

@pedroqueridomusic 6 лет назад

I like your video and it´s always useful to learn this kind of chord shapes, especially in open Tunings. Nonetheless I think that Nick Drake´s chords, in my perspective as a listener, were a bit more refined than those you presented. ;)

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Yeah! He varies a lot! His jazzier, standard tuning songs are very different from his open tuned structures. What a genius!

@pedroqueridomusic 6 лет назад

You are right! And I find it fascinating that he was so inspired by his mom! I've never heard of such thing on other artists. I mean, it's not a direct benefit in general terms, but it's surprising, to say the least, that his inspiration (not all, obviously) came from such a close source isn't it? :) His mom wrote beautiful melancholic piano songs, and her voice was very interesting also. I've been following your channel for a while, and I just want to say that your doing a great job! You have a subscriber here! Have a nice weekend. Greetings from Germany.
