Folks don’t realize how important this lesson is. Learning your notes and then having these shapes down to change em is huge

Eric, I hope you never underestimate what you’re doing for the guitar community. Your videos are teaching me to become a better musician, so many thanks 🙏
Hope you’re well and eating pizza 🍕

Eric Haugan is the type of guitarist that has blown your mind a million times before whether it be on the radio, on TV, or some jazz/folk club without you realising who has done it. Such an incredible guitarist ❤ for all young guitarists watching, remember that the ingredients to being great are simple, but do them correctly and put them all together and you can sound this good.

[michaelawatson]

Nobody, and I mean Nobody breaks down theory like Eric. Thank you

[geoffg]

This is EXACTLY the lesson I've been looking for!!! The mix of intervals, chord shapes, and rhythms is beautiful! Tab makes it easy to follow! Thank you!

[blues]

Why do I have this urge to yell "We're not worthy!"? 😆 Thanks man. Nice approaches for familiarizing oneself with intervals, learn how they can be applied to a major chord and then how those chords sound all over the neck.

[nettlesome]

Love your calm and thoughtful style, Eric! Intervals is where it's at.

[ericbell]

Top lesson Eric, you keep on moving us forward to be better guitarists.

[daviblu]

Party on, Eric! Love the hat, and love your content as usual

[J.M.Stigner]

Beautiful lesson, eloquently explained and demonstrated, a real gift, thank you Eric

[Herfinnur]

[tunatuna]

What a freakin LEGEND! Thanks E-Dawwwg

[zeal.musica]

Excellent lesson, thanks! be excellent to each other, players of the world.

‘Ambivalent’ is a great term for the Sus chord. The open tension suggests movement — the idea behind playing with scale notes off of a chord to create a melody (or texture).

[FabrizioCalderara]

Cool lesson! Can't wait to try some of them with my Martin.

[misterknightowlandco]

Dude, love the guitar and it’s not terribly over priced either… as always great lessons too!

[henryhuynh]

I’ve been playing and writing for years. And I don’t know much. But I’m always accidentally finding things I like. But I’ve always wished I knew how I got there.

This lesson will change this. I’d just have to put it in practice and remember jt.

Thanks this is everything. The rest should be on me. Let’s see if I can find the discipline to unlock it all w the limited time I have.

Amazing tho. Really. Ty.

[CdrKang]

Eric, this is stellar. Please continue, the inspiration is welcome ALWAYS.

[Paintedonshoes]

Fantastic lesson. I’ve hasn’t thought of sus chords as so simple to understand and practice.

[LaurenceBotha]

I love it. This sounds like a conversation I have with myself while trying to find a new song.

Great content, sir. SCHWINGGG
