It's easy. If you're in standard tuning, hold down the 4th fret on the low(thick) E-string and tune your A-string down a little so it sounds similar to the 4th on E. Then do the same with the A and D-string, but this time hold on the 5th fret on the A-string, because A is already G#. Then do the same with the other strings. In the guitar lingo, a step is two frets, meaning half step will be one fret. Imagine you get a another fret by tuning down a half step, so u can play darker notes
Eddie Basics 1 O 1...his tapping style may have made him famous but it's his sound, off the wall odd ball picking style that is harder to master. He noodled to death on tape and had to learn his own shit that he liked after listening to it over and over and over again not like the pussy digital extensive learning at your finger tips reliant on technology faggots of today that all sound the same.

. Any time I think of Randy, especially these days, it really helps me remember never to give up on doing exactly what you want to be doing in life, to remain in control of your future and destiny and not let it be in control of you. Randy lived exactly how he wanted to and was unapologetic about following his dream. Any time I hear the fade out solo to "tonight"
n this lesson excerpted from one of Marcus Henderson's master classes on GuitarInstructor com, the Guitar Hero guru demonstrates the basic technique for pulling off an EVH-styled tapping solo
Great guitar lesson in the style of EVH by Marcus Henderson
this is truly raw and just plain awesome!! I've always loved the sound of a single guitarist when Eddie solos. I mean it sounds so much better just hearing Michael in the back ground holding it together. Who needs a rythm guitarist? ..well I guess Angus Young . Long live Eddie Van Halen A true innovative guitar and music legend!!
Put up a video that eclipses Henderson on "Play With Me" from GH 80's or zip-it about your so called skills. Another youtube armchair champion! Oh, Oh yeah-Nuno is 4 feet of has-been. Shawn Lane owned everyone.
Remember what Eddie always said: Don't copy but create. Don't imitate but innovate.
But i always hated those gear-freaks. I met a ton of those people. Why are they fact-fucking so much with equipment? To cover up a lack of talent? Funny, because Ed (and many others) started out with crap-guitars.
I think that Dimebag-replica is a joke, the paint-work isnt even correct. And stop talking like i dont know who Dime was. I was listening to projects in the jungle and cowboys from hell when you were eating out of your nose in grade school or lower.
BTW, i think signature-guitars are a joke, why do you want to imitate someone? Lack of own creativity?
Eddie buried his Bumblebee guitar in Dime's arms. Eddie was Dime's favorite player. This 'knucklehead' is using a Dime model as a subtle nod to Dime. Also I think this is for beginners who are new to EVH's style... Relax guitar snob!
Im not doubting the skill level...its just the 1234 thing that amuses me.

Man they should have had Marcus Henderson do the Two-Handed Tapping Lesson rather than Dave Celentano
Dave just doesn't have that sound Marcus Henderson does .
It would be like giving Dave an Albert Lee style leson over Greg Koch , you know ?

You know, i understand completely why there are so few good players these days.
It's because of the quality of these "instructors".
Man, i still consider myself a beginner after 10 years but i can play circles around all these "me playing Van Halen" posers on Youtube.
You guys have absolutely no idea where to get your own skill and sound.

Remember what Eddie always said: Don't copy but create. Don't imitate but innovate.
But i always hated those gear-freaks. I met a ton of those people. Why are they fact-fucking so much with equipment? To cover up a lack of talent? Funny, because Ed (and many others) started out with crap-guitars.
It's all in the fingers.

Poploser555,
I think that Dimebag-replica is a joke, the paint-work isnt even correct. And stop talking like i dont know who Dime was. I was listening to projects in the jungle and cowboys from hell when you were eating out of your nose in grade school or lower.
BTW, i think signature-guitars are a joke, why do you want to imitate someone? Lack of own creativity?
sonykroket 3 years ago
why does this knucklehead have a dime-bag-cheap-looking wannabe-guitar?
Tapping is one of the most lame aspects of eddie playing but people still keep remembering for that particular skill.
His riff-work, and the things he played over his own riff was outstanding. He also had a great melodic feel.
But i never see that copied because no-one can do that. Tapping is the easy part, only Vai and players of that skill have evolved the tap-technique.

Eddie buried his Bumblebee guitar in Dime's arms. Eddie was Dime's favorite player. This 'knucklehead' is using a Dime model as a subtle nod to Dime. Also I think this is for beginners who are new to EVH's style... Relax guitar snob!
