I really wish someone told me early on I didn't have to play all six strings all the time.

@bobxoneill

So sad that folks are thinking they aren’t skilled enough to jam with others.

He's like the Bob Ross of music

Good, good stuff, Eric. “Be a Good Hang,” yes? YES. Don’t hog all the turnarounds. BE ON TIME (and ALWAYS show up). PRACTICE your part BEFORE the rehearsal. When I was a young player, I was told that all this is called “musicianship.” Most, most critical. Without it, you’ll never get anywhere. (I’m a big NEW fan of Mr. Haugen’s.)

Eric Haugen is a master class in dynamics. He can make the simplest playing sound so beautiful. Great touch and a great right hand.

I was that way about playing with others - I hung back thinking I wasn't yet "qualified" to do anything ... and never developed. Came back home after college and my buddy, whom I taught a song to before I left ("Psycho Killer"!), had STARTED A BAND and WAS WRITING HIS OWN MUSIC. He remembered me as the teacher so invited me to play with them, so I showed up with my barre chords and cowboy chords and ten little songs I'd worked out, and it was SO GOOD. They didn't know those songs, they taught me theirs, I was inspired to start writing - I grew more in the first four months playing with them than I had grown in the previous four years!

The actual best teacher in guitar. These videos feel like an real 1 on 1 lesson

@ericrudd

Don’t let Mr. Haugen’s calm demeanor fool you. He is one of the best guitar teachers and players on KZfaq.

I think we all appreciate the anti-clickbait of telling us at the start exactly what the video will be about

Cant get over your tele, it looks cybernetically enhanced

I have a BS in Chemical Engineering but I’ve loved music my entire life. I’ve played guitar since my Dad bought me a 3/4 sized guitar at age 12. One of my sweetest college (1970s) memories was playing in group of other nerds. We had guitars, mandolin and banjo. We played lots of Loggins and Messina and Seals and Croft. Playing, eating pizza, drinking beer and flirting with our girlfriends was the best.

I would add one thing as a major plus ... as a rhythm guitarist for over 40 years, you are an extension and compliment to the drummer. I also play drums and feel the two are the tightest bound instruments that form the base and timing of a song. Liken yourself to being a metronome and sync to the drummer for immediate improvement when jamming with other musicians. Just my humble observance of 46 years. Most important thing to do is HAVE FUN!

@guildzilla

I needed this video 20 years ago.

@kxiyi

You went from giving very good guitar advice to giving very good life advice. You make even the simple stuff sound good too! Lots to learn from you

@ronvogt4128

One of the best videos I've seen in a while. More than just a guitar lesson. It's a lesson in life.

@andycrowley

Preach! 🙌 Love your videos dude

So many guitarists need to hear this

@Brolo214

Thank you! The art of rhythm playing is so undervalued. Sometimes I find when I’m jamming that I give the lead player a nice bed to lay on. But when it’s my turn to lead, I don’t always get the same love back. A lot of players just don’t know how to support. It’s a shame because some of my favorite memories of playing aren’t when just I ripped off a killer solo. It’s when I felt oneness locking in with everybody else. Rhythm playing ain’t complicated, but it can be magical.

@MrWhiskeytangofoxtro

I tell young musicians to never miss an opportunity to play with people better than you! Anybody worth learning from won’t mind that you’re inexperienced, and will be happy to help you grow! Love this video and your approach. Thanks, brother! Keep it up! ❤💪🏼
