This solo is an excellent lesson in applying the principles of classic pedal steel country guitar licks in a stones-ian context. Notice how many of the bends are not typical blues bends. It's more about looking at a scale, and finding a way to use bends to move through it.

One of my favorite guitar parts! Eric, you are the man.

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Thanks! It took some doin', but I think I got it pretty darn close :-)

@davidewing55 6 лет назад

I can't wait to get home from work and try this! Great lesson, as always, Eric! As you said, R.I.P. Jay Bennett.

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Thanks David! I'm sad for Jay and his family, but at least his music lives on!

@stevenlawson9385 6 лет назад

Awesome again, look forward to you're videos every week.

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Thanks Steven! Next week I'm gonna do some fills on "Danko/Manuel" by Drive-By Truckers - stay tuned for that one!

Oh my God! What a great lesson. Amazing! Thank you

Eric, you’re such a G. You’re such a G, Eric.

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Thanks Patrick! Most of the time, I feel like the G stands for Geek, but today it stands for Guitar Gangsta :-)

Great lesson. Thanks Eric.

@topfacemod 6 лет назад

Oh, and "California Stars" was the first song I performed live. I did it to honor my cancer survivor friend, Beth, at a National Cancer Survivor's Day event. BEST DAY OF MY LIFE. :)

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Nice song choice! And hooray for Beth!

@davebrookes3561 6 лет назад

This is just ace.... I love those soulful pedal steel bends.... killer tone too man

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Thanks D money! I forgot how much I like these unconventional bendy bends - very cool to work on.

@christianhahn1299 5 лет назад

Just subscribed to your channel and loving it. For what it's worth, casting my vote for more Wilco and Tweedy, especially his 'quiet' acoustic work.

@EricHaugenGuitar 5 лет назад

Thanks! Welcome to the chill hang zone! I love that first Tweedy record - gotta do something off it. I feel like Jeff Tweedy is one of the best songwriters of his generation. Sorta the indie rock Tom Petty.

@slow-mo_moonbuggy 6 лет назад

Best tutorials on RU-vid. Hands down

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Thanks! You've got the best username on RU-vid, hands down!

@davemassie3726 6 лет назад

Awesome Eric! Nice Tone. Cool Solo. You Rock! Thanks for sharing.

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Thanks Dave! I'm rediscovering the benefits of the round sound of the 1484 - it's a pleasant change from the woody brightness of my tweed pro :-)

@jeffbeguinmusic7157 6 лет назад

Great job Eric. Loved seeing/hearing the Sivertone again! Keep it up sir!

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Thanks Jeff! Yeah, I think Jay was a big part of what pushed Wilco into the arty/weird direction they had for the next several records. Tweedy probably would've ended up there on his own - he's so damn talented, but I think Bennett moved things along quicker.

hi eric, i love your videos, its an amazing way of learning guitar from a unique perspective. i really like that you talk about being a tasteful guitarrist, personally i've been strugling with combining that tastefulness with "shredding" or rather a more "energical" way of soloing. I would really like if you could teach something related to that in a future video. Greetings from argentina and sorry if my english is not quite correct :)

@TheLuluberlu78 6 лет назад

Great !!! as usual , nice sound !!!

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Thanks buddy!

@jixxxxer17 6 лет назад

My Friend, you are Money , the best vids on RU-vid by far !

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Thanks buddy! Just doin' my thing - figuring out cool stuff, thinking about it, and then sharing what I think is going on with it :-)

@joaoburatto3258 6 лет назад

There's some tricky bends over there, amazing playing, as aways

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Thanks João! It's really interesting how Bennett used bends to move through the scale. I play around with his ideas a lot!

@jessethomas6694 7 месяцев назад

This is great, Eric Would love to see Jays part on Someday Soon from Live at the Troubadour

@leemiera84 2 года назад

Yes bro

@michaelb.4210 6 лет назад

Great stuff. Loving the pedal style bends. RIP Jay. @$!#& fentanyl.

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Thanks Michael! Yeah, Prince, Tom Petty, Jay Bennett, and who knows how may others. I read up on Jay's death recently, and it sounds like he was having the same hip problem that Tom Petty had, plus the same drug history. Weeks before his death, he tried to sue Tweedy in an effort to get money to pay for hip replacement surgery that his health insurance wouldn't cover.

@TechCurmudgeon 6 лет назад

I think you would enjoy the guitar solo in East Indian Princess by Loudon Wainwright on Album III. Not sure who it is (Elliot Randall?), but it is 16 seconds of in-the-pocket playing with the same bendy quality.

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

I'll have to check that one out! I love all the Wainwrights, especially Rufus's first two records - what a cool family!

@Richardseid 6 лет назад

Your lessons, and tonal Gulati are endlessly fascinating. Loving the learning journey which for me is frankly still a step to far for my 2years guitar playing experience. What key is this solo in. I understand the major scale or mixolydian concept of bending notes into these half step vs the bigger bends in the Blues Pentatonics. Thanks and keep up the inspiring lessons.

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Thanks Richard! The Solo is in G major, and it's possible Jay may have used a B-Bender equipped telecaster. Being that most of us can't responsibly afford to buy a $1000 for just one song, I transcribed the solo for good ol' regular guitar :-)

@vdub1959 6 лет назад

First! Love your videos Eric. Thank you!

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Thanks so much Vernon! Comment number one!

@dougaigner3258 5 лет назад

That solo has a Thompson-y feel to it; it reminds me of solos from Fairport stuff.

@EricHaugenGuitar 5 лет назад

I can totally see that! Thompson is the king of non-traditional bending! I recently transcribed his live solo on "Mascara Tears" and it's bonkers - he will literally bend anything to anything else!

@dougaigner3258 5 лет назад

Yeah, Thompson also drones along with his bends, which you start off with in this solo... very cool!

@GildedEntries 6 лет назад

The great ones make it look easy. :-)

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Thanks man! Truth be told, everything you see me play on my channel takes weeks of practice to get ready. I'm no virtuoso - just like everybody else, if I want to play something, I doggedly work at it :-)

@GildedEntries 6 лет назад

Oh I don’t doubt your practice regimen, but it always comes out tasty on the videos, unlike some of us who are more, as Nick Lowe said of Elvis Costello, Little Hands of Concrete. Jay was great, thanks for the lesson.

@drewradlack 6 лет назад

Eric, fantastic song choice. I have always been fascinated by Jay's work on "Forget the Flowers." Heard he used a guitar with a G and b-bender? Does this exist?

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Oh yeah, that's a great one too! I've heard tale of this mythical G&B Bender Tele - never gotten to see one in person, though.

@semajdis 6 лет назад

Great lesson as always. Did you get the catering job?

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Thanks! Yup, I did indeed land the gig. Carried a lot of hors d'oeuvres at after Symphony events :-)

@dudemandudebro938 6 лет назад

great playing, any chance for Garcia or trey? I appreciate these videos, thanks a lot

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Omg I love your username! Yeah - I gotta breakdown some other jammy stuff. Jerry and Trey are clutch!

@topfacemod 6 лет назад

First song I ever sat down and made my feeble but passable attempt at arranging for my playing style ~ Ashes of American Flags. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is life. (For my taste anyways).

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Yeah! Great record and great tune. It's hard for me to say what my favorite Wilco record is - I think I'll go with "Being There," as it's the harbinger of the weirdness to come later.

@JudgeFredd 6 лет назад

Nice musical taste

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Thanks Fredd! The weirdness That Jay Bennett brought to Wilco was so key to their development into the beloved indie juggernauts they've become :-)

@jmcdanald 2 года назад

Hail, Jay Bennett!

@ishyaboy 6 лет назад

I love your vids Eric! This might be a stupid question but how do you compile the backing tracks? Specifically the drums? I'd like to play over some backing drums but don't know where to start?

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

Thanks Paul! These days I use Toontrack EZ drummer software - it's really great and fun to use. If you have garageband, that has a pretty good built-in AI drummer as well. I used to use that, but the Toontrack has better sounds, and allows more specific adjustments.

@ishyaboy 6 лет назад

Eric Haugen No sweat! Thank you for the heads up with both of them. I'll definitely be checking them out!!

@thebigredwagon 6 лет назад

For the love of all that is good please do hoist that rag. I can’t transcribe it! But I know a man who can, you. Pleassssse!

@EricHaugenGuitar 6 лет назад

It's on my list! The rhythmic syncopation and length of that repetitive phrase are slowing me down - that's why you haven't seen a vid lesson in it yet :-)

@thebigredwagon 6 лет назад

Eric Haugen When you finally crack that monster I bet it’s going to feel so good to play. It’s definitely one of Ribots best. It’s got that stabbing rhythmic attack that’s almost hypnotic. Take your time with it. The Ribot lessons you’re doing are first class by the way.
