Hagstrom Viking Video

The Hagstrom Viking is a great semi-hollow body guitar. It covers all genres from blues/rock to jazz/fusion and back again. With an arched semi-hollow maple body, its looks are as sweet as its tone. Two Hagstrom humbuckers, combined with the resonant semi-hollow body, provide plenty of power. And no Hagstrom is complete without their famous, fast-playing neck. The Viking has the patented H-Expander truss rod which provides tension at either end and runs the entire length of the neck. The rigid yet lightweight alloy truss rod allows for very low action and a thin set maple neck.

Here I used a Marshall JVM410H through an Avatar 2x12 cab with Eminence Wizard speakers. Miced with an SM-57 into a GAP Pre-73 into an Apogee Duet. I also used a V-pick, which are great sounding guitar picks.

Hi, the chord sequence is

A, D/A , A, Cadd9, then on neck pickup, A D/A, and then a chord that's like A7 with no 3rd, and then there's a progression with E, D and A.

Robert,
That's a great lick on the Marshall amp at 3:35 and I've figured it out, but can you tell me the chord sequence you follow at 3:45 to about 4:00? I see the G, A, and D, but I don't get the ones after that, esp. with the hammer on.
Many thanks, I really like your videos.

Really nice guitar Robert. The Hagstroms are quite beautiful. And sound great as well. I just bought me a Gretsch 6120RHH. It's a beauty as well. Enjoy your new Viking!!
