Holy Hell, You fuckin nailed it man. This is GREAT stuff! You make this song look easy, That squeel isnt easy to hit perfect, but man you fuckin nailed it. This is GREAT!
How do you do that tapping thing on 1:54? Does it start on the A or D sting? And if it starts on the A sting does it start on a open A or the 12 fret? That lick's so freakin' fast I really can't hear....
You've nailed down the EVH tone better than anyone I've ever heard. Not to mention your playing is so precise and relaxed that it appears to be second nature to you, like walking or breathing. You truly have the gift brother.
Hats off to you Satch, You tell 'em what you like to play & when it comes to Eddie ( I consider it language or dialect ) You have him nailed. You rock bro ...
Dude, that's pretty damn good but I hope you didn't fall in the evh trap like i did. Yah, I could impress some people with my "skills" but It was all fake with no real foundation. It wasn't unitll I was in my 20s that I started really studying the guitar and found out that EVH is not the first guy to be studying. He's a rule breaker who had a very solid music background before guitar and then had huge natural talent. I wasted 2 good guitar years learning to play eruption. But damn good job!!!!
@mindeloman Guess I'm in the trap now haha...I know a fair amount of theory though it's not like I can only tremolo pick eruption you know what I mean?
@satchbooggy hell yea i know what u mean..getting a line6 flextone iii tomorrow with the shortboard you have......CAN'T WAIT i've been itchin' all week lol and wanted to go today but the bastards were closed hahaha. happy new year man!
Yes, I agree there's nothing fake about being able to play them. It is impressive and yes it did make me better technical guitarist. But, how much better would it be though, to learn all the theory and the rules and break them in your own unique way. Not breaking them the EVH way. That's his way. Anyway, watcing your vids has got me wanting to go back and learn all those old songs. It's been a long time. Good job man.
Dude that's funny! i think that's the first part everyone learns. Some years ago I was asked to participate in a church talent show just to get a few more adults than just all kids. I played a few compostions and then turned it up and transistioned into eruption. My playing was sub-par(years with out practice) but they didn't notice. I think I or maybe EVH inspired a few kids to play guitar. Pretty funny seeing all the old people cringe and cover their ears.
duncan JB wired to a push/pull vol. ( that i never use) This guitar probably sounds the closest to VH out of all my guitars. However the wolfgangs through a nice tube amp just annihilate the others.
i don't really like van halens post kramer sound even though the wolfgangs i guess are considered the best by most VH fans, I'd rather get that fair warning crunchy sound. Someone told me steve vai pickups would be good for EVH sound but im not too sure about dishing out that kind of money on pickups just to find out there was a better way to do it.
thanks dude, of all the VH tunes i think i can blend the VH II tone the best. I still gotta ck out your version. Im finishing up 5150 as we speak...too lazy to record it lol
OMG thats my fav Sammy song, can't wait to hear your version so I can watch you and get pointers.What are your settings for the VH2 tone? I have the pod xt, I think same as the live
Hey man, do you still have this axe? Or is this the one you said you sold to Ednerd? If you still got it, we HAVE TO do a collaboration with our striped guitars hahaha
yes i still have the trusty and crusty old kramer. this thing cost me like 200 bucks and the guy gave me like 50 back after UPS broke the headstock. you name the tune guy...im ready anytime...time to get back to VH very soon! lol
its fine now it just took a few months to dry all the way. i wont be able to do any new collabs for a while. I have too much stuff going on that i need to finish right now. Ill hit you up later on a collab possibly. You get the guitar done?
yup, i have 2 vids of it on my channel, it would be cool if you could tell me what you think, i just noticed that paint around the neck plate is starting to come up, any thoughts?
You know...u are the man dude, Gotta say it!!! I want people to watch all of oyur vids, and then switch to eddie playing these same songs, and it just shows how goddamn great ed is. You again are right on the money, but seeing ed play these, its fucking magic man. great job
I posted before - I like the tone dude - can't believe you say you're getting tired of it. One question - what's the pick up in you axe? Love the playing and appreciate you posting back!
its a spider III. im kinda getting tired of it. i think the only video i used the 5150 in was good enough, i really want a 5150III in combo form. i had a nice vhII tone dialed in on the line 6 but i never saved it and now i cant get it back :(
OK tell the truth....is this really a Spider III????? The Tone is really awesome. Are you using the presets or did you dial that in yourself. Just sounds so professional. The Spider is a great amp...but I didn't know it could sound quite that good. I'd love to hear you play through my Spider Valve. I'm working on a cover of 'In My Dreams'. As soon as I get it done I'll load it and let ya hear the new Spider Valve. It is a tight amp bro!!
I was at the local Guitar Center this weekend and they insisted that I try the new EVH 5150 III amp. The second channel reminded me of VH II's tone - I whipped into Beautiful Girls and it sounded really cool. :)
Hey while I have your attention, what's your preference on pickup height? I just got my guitar back with a Tone Zone in it, and will definitely experiment a bit, but am curious if you are one of those guys that likes deadly close to the strings or more distant.
im afraid i like to go towards the deadly close action. Ive never had a problem doin it. I love my tone zone. Its in the green charvel. Its a roughass pickup.
its easy enough of a mod to just move it back and forth ya know....id just play around with it a little, i dont think tone changes much at all from up or down. my pick actually hits the pups now and again
Dude this makes the hair stand up on the back of my vh necklace
