Ice Cream Man Solo

[StratMasterZero]

The best job I've ever heard. Perfect. Kudos, my friend !!!

[spainguit]

Awsome i love how he looks into the camera!!!

[MrGuitarpaul]

I have been surfing for the last 4 hours trying to find the CORRECT way to play this solo. This is hands down the BEST. In fact this was cleaner then Eddie himself plays live. Thank you for the post.

[crazykid13131]

perfect

[satchboogie60]

Wowwwww !



[drneme]

AMAZING!!!

[reignman2112]

being a drummer of over 25 years, and a air guitar master, that was pretty sick....have you tried 'somebody get me a doctor' as that's a sick solo as well.....keep posting vids...

[mcaro011]

Awesome!!



[RDB5150]

Okay.....so you for sure deserve that guitar!!! Amazing playing Eddie would probably stop playing if he seen this! ;)

[wandereruk05]

why doesn't have more views? that was absolutely 100% on the money. you have a new subscriber :D

[wildeck14]

Midnight, drunk, stoned. Fucking fantastic. Eddie could'nt do better today. Rock and fucking RRRRRRROIOOOOOOLLLLLLL!!!!

[dontbelikejake]

sooo perfect..how expensive was that guitar man??

[keyofdminor]

outstanding

[jimmiemclovin]

...nailed it dude...!!!!!

[gljupak]

what amp is that?it's epic!

[nosmoking099]

Alright thats it, I'm quitting.

Great cover man!

[snakev10v5]

bloody hell o.o epic

[Floods90319]

well done mate.... that was literally perfect

[loknloll]

dude!!! what did you do after your house burned down??????? you CANNOT tell me playing like that is not a FIRE HAZARD!!!!

[loknloll]

like many people checking you out, i'm an edward fan. old enough to have been buying these records as they came out.

so earlier today i was watching you, and, after thinking of how fucking real you are, i'm now writing you a note.

dude, you smoke this shit! so many guys play van halen, and some brilliantly. but most of the time, you just want to hear Eddie himself, for the tone, for the fire and passion and liquidity of his legato, the unique thing that is EVH.

but you're enough. brilliant!

[cgambarrotti]

That Rocked!!!

[gatner1]

Excellent job. Spot on.  It would be nice to hear just your playing though.

[EddieAteDynomite]

pan to the right and you can.

[iGuitarGuru]

I am beginning to learn this fantastic solo and I figured you were the best person to ask for pointers on this solo. So would you mind give me some tips on how to play it.

[EddieAteDynomite]

Sure, whats up?

[iGuitarGuru]

@EddieAteDynomite Well first off how should i start practicing the beginning lick, secondly how do you do the pick sliding thing around 0:14-0:15, and finally what notes are you playing from 0:28-0:34 (I am doing that part differently and yours sounds more like the original) thank you very much



[EddieAteDynomite]

ok its not a scale,just the same pattern on all 5 strings. the hard part for me was the streach so check your posture. (:14-:15) I dont think theres a trill on the 12 and 15 fret on the second string but slide fron 17 to about 20 while holding the 15 fret. (:28-:34) is a interval of a 6th. first two notes are 3rd string B & 1st string G#. Good luck!

[iGuitarGuru]

@EddieAteDynomite Okay thanks. much appreciated. hope you do not mind I might ask some more questions later.

[codyjt5150]

@iGuitarGuru check out dougFCKNsteele, he has a bunch of good tutorials i use for VH songs.

[MeTaLxAmErIcAxXx]

Holy shit dude how long it take you to get that down

[salamonetalton]

there is no one on you tube who can remotely touch you on this except maybe curt mitchell. you are friggin awesome dude! extremely accurate. kudos!!!!!!!!!

[AWGMJANS]

super! great playing Unfortunatly i will probably never be able to play like that.

[EredLuin87]

WHO klicked the dislike bottom?

[gljupak]

is the pickup custom custom sh 11 ?

[EddieAteDynomite]

I dont think so

[Quitarr]

i just had to subscribe :D

[EredLuin87]

i wish i could play like this..im 17 and i respect you soo much..in my opinion youre one of the best.

you deserve more than 9000 clicks

(sorry for my bad english -> german)

[Caduenas]

@EredLuin87 I find it funny that often times people that say "sorry for my bad English", write better than native speakers.

[EredLuin87]

@Caduenas Haha thanks =)

[cmdumpster]

fucking amazing dude!!

[bfmvMM2]

Please,someone help me pick up my jaw from the floor; that was simply perfection man; contratulations,beautiful guitar,amazing guitar playing; your cover of 'im the one' is breathtaking too' my mom saw it, and she was surprised to see you were married; even with such a big responsability you still got time to play? Unbelieavable' keep rocking/ ooh,by the way,any chance of giving us what effects you are using?

[tbeox]

@EddieAteDynomite sounds good. thanks for your help! rock on dude!

[tbeox]

3 Questions:

1. How long have you been playing?

2. You teach at DGO correct?

3. What pickups are on your beautiful EVH model guitar?

[EddieAteDynomite]

1.) since 1983. 2.) yes. 3.) SD custom custom

[kev3SG]

Wow, this totally blew my mind

[LRonHubbardFuckFace]

ahh thats good.

[Superbowserfreak11]

I can never play like this!!! naa, wait for next life lol.

[drummerkid247]

[EredLuin87]

[Caduenas]

@($*_Y&R*(_^FY#$_(*F$#

wow

[helpwithmassbuild]

wow

[TenTonJim]

great attention to detail - like the fret hand coming off and playing open strings for a split second at :42 - killer.

~ Jim

[HOYstain666]

Where did you get that guitar?

[metalunia]

hello man autentic you rock 5*

saludos

[seandamondotcom]

Eddieatedynomite, you did good bro. Keep Rockin!

[Rizzy55]

Sorry but That is so lame.

Playing over the original lead is just pretending.

[TrevrDarkstar]

he's not playing over the original, if u listen and pay attention u can tell he's really playing key things to watch for : when he bends they're not perfectly in synch, and at one point he himself is not completly in synch so yea he's actually playing the solo

[PhantomKode]

actualy i think he's being sarcastic. hes complementing him on how good he played it.

[jimmiemclovin]

@Rizzy55 ...pretending? He learned it (and played it note for note). I mean, he really did it. IN REALITY...how is it just pretending??? Are you just imagining he did it?

[ringmasterftw]

thats a bad-ass frankenstrat u got there

[shutkorea41]

duuude what a nice tone, loved it.

[BlackWolfgang70]

great ! great sound ! 5 stars ! you rock man !

[hobbsie5]

Anyone can mime?

[TrevrDarkstar]

what hel is that supposed to mean? huh?

[lisannhodges67]

DAYUM! Frigin rocked it man! Im thinkin bout trying this one next!

5 stars!

Rock on!

-Tyler ♠

[SubGunner]

Not bad at all man.. Check mine out when you have time. Its a backing track tho so its just me..lol

Did it on my first try and said good enough!

[StudioSonico]

I would like to (hear/see) this without the "ORIGINAL" VH back up song.....i think you are doing a great job but some notes you didnt hit i felt the song covered for you......

ed

[EddieAteDynomite]

You can, If you pan over to the right channel you can hear my solo by itself.

[greenday5796]

awsome.

[kennethcr]

I watched 6-8 of these before hittin on yours, and yours blows them all away.

[schmacho]

Buddy -- That was as close to spot on as you get.

[lafsjimmy]

very very very good man!!!

[PDXguitarfreak]

I lost my old account,so had to come back and fave this one again - Dynomite is right! Let me know what you think of mine :)

[davidbrucemusicvideo]

you've got entirely too much time on your hands, my too talented friend. i hope ur in a tribut band. you're playing better than 2 awesome tribute band guys i've seen

15 stars

[fretfirestarter]

nice playing and sound.you got ed down.these videos shows you how brilliant ed was moving between the simple and the complex.

[PhantomKode]

If i didn't see that with my own eyes, id think it was fake. That guitar sounds EXACTLY like Eddie's!

[Supaselig77]

best version of this solo on youtube

[PDXguitarlegend]

Dude this has got to be one of the most note-for-note perfect versions I have heard. You even got the 2 string bend (bend the E, catch the B) at ~:34! Please let me know what you think of my version :)

[underachiever18]

Gr8 job Jeff

[younakahara]

Man! That was awesome! Here's 5 stars for ya! Cheers!

[fabstter193]

wow it sounded the same and it was timed perfectly.

you ar etruly ready to show off your skills to the world man!

[wyskater94]

Best EVH solo and you did it amazingly *****

[fuzzingaround]

....and 14 also........oups

[EddieAteDynomite]

That is correct sir!

[fuzzingaround]

nice job bro, is the pattern all the same.. 12-16-19?? on the stretch exercise very first pass??

[Ednerd]

nice ass job! haven't seen many good vids of this one

[colin1262]

Best take on that one Iv ever seen. Great job dude...Ought to make a " Lesson " clip on how to play it for us.

[bigchillcar]

one of ed's best and funnest solos! excellent work! i still have to two-hand the opening lick and heck i've got long fingers! ;)

[EddieAteDynomite]

The only way I can get that opening is to hold the neck almost straight up and down. Try that. Plus, I think you get bounus points on Guitar Hero for that move!

[bigchillcar]

haha..i hear they can't play guitar..and we can't play guitar hero! i'll give it another shot..i believe ya about straight up. i'm startin' to get better with it..but ed's job ain't in jeopardy! =)

[xxxNostalgia]

Not bad man! Freakin awesome! :) (Btw, i love the guitar!)

[slipknotKoRn1993]

shit dude nice guitar. nice playing too

[EddieAteDynomite]

Thanks! One humbucker, a Floyd Rose and a volume knob! Simply brilliant!

[fuckinee666]

spot on excellent

as close to the original recording ive ever seen

[EddieAteDynomite]

It only took me 22 years 5 months and 2 days!!!!

[xgr3gx]

cool
