Van Halen Everybody Wants Some song/solo dissection

[bobbydgo]

Doug, sweet tutorial, thank you for the breakdown! Love the Charvel Star replica, and totally agree with NOT using the Danolectro neck. I'm a huge Eddie fan, but don't know what the fck he was thinking putting that eyesore on such a sweet guitar. Looking forward to more tutorials brother!

[DougFCKNSteele]

@bobbydgo I think there's about 8 hours of my VH vids on here..Someone told me he used the danelectro neck because it was a shorter scale neck.

[bobbydgo]

@DougFCKNSteele Aaaah... Well, upon second thought I guess that makes sense. Eddie was def not afraid to sacrifice aesthetics for the sake of playability and tone. Shit, just look at the Frankenstien guitars.

I'm def gonna check out your other tutorials (I'm also also a HUGE George Lynch fan). I played back in the day but (stupidly) walked away from it over 15 yrs ago. Recently back into it and starting a new band, and you videos are huge in helping me learn (or relearn) material brother.

[DougFCKNSteele]

@bobbydgo Killer. yeah, EVH, Lynch, Gilbert and Becker are my fab 4. I do have some Lynch vids, just a few, I'll do some down the track for sure, as I've totally ripped off his vibrato. Lol.

[KingBeagle24]

Thanks for breaking it down! Awesome job!



[DougFCKNSteele]

@KingBeagle24 Thanks beagle, glad I could offer some assistance.

[Texman4268]

Very nice job and thanks for the breakdown....

Love the tone!!!!

[DougFCKNSteele]

@Texman4268 Thanks!!

[shaggybx]

Dude you're awesome.Thank you for helping me play Van

Halen.I really appreciate it.

Rock on!

[DougFCKNSteele]

@shaggybx Thanks Shag, hope it helped!!

[PVS1]

informative. thanks for breaking it down. however your appraisal of the song as a no brainer make me want to burn my guitar or perhaps donate it to some charity (well, its the solo that kills me)

[DougFCKNSteele]

@PVS1 You'll get there. AED is a pretty common chord progression, do it backward and you get an ac/dc song. I think the key is to listen to the song so much that you can hum it in your head with no issues. repetition is definitely key with music.

[manafreek]

Doug Bro you channel the era and tone very well! it is alive and and well !!! keep it up brother

!

[DougFCKNSteele]

@manafreek Vheers Mana I will try!!

Hey Doug. I'm sorry to stir up shit on your postings. Most of us come on here to see what you've posted and not ask you to transcribe and demonstrate solos or songs written by closet homos. Next thing you know, they'll be asking you to figue out Every Rose Has It's Thorn.

[DougFCKNSteele]

@johntrytek Naughty!! Tell them you don't wanna play Wait. Horrible song.

[johntrytek]

Have you Ever touched WHITE LIONS WAIT...?

[DougFCKNSteele]

@johntrytek Not into 'em at all. There's plenty of guys doing that solo, I'll pm you one. There's no way in hell I'm going to learn a solo I hate without someone putting dollaz into my account. I'll do my fave VH songs for free, requests get charged, that simple.

[rrhynes]

@johntrytek Gay.

[johntrytek]

Well Done...Nicely Explained. Thank's.

[DougFCKNSteele]

@johntrytek Thanks Johnny, a few more vids and I'm DONE with VH.

[moloned]

cool axe ... what is it?

[DougFCKNSteele]

@moloned 1980 EVH Charvel star.

[DougFCKNSteele]

@mattluvsvox921 pod x3 live, 15 watt peavey bandit. sold the x3, so from now on I'll probably be using vetta II head and Engl cab. Until the cops come.

[ToAsTyBuRRiiTo]

what pick-up is in it? is it dimazio x2n?

[DougFCKNSteele]

@ToAsTyBuRRiiTo Schaller Hot Stuff, $50.

[omfgwhale]

jazz 3's ftw. my guitar playing improved SO much when i switched to the jazz picks cause i choked up on my regular picks like mad.

[lisannhodges67]

"Trust me, would I steer you wong, HELL yes" HAHA!

[DTPVH]

You should make one of a dissection vid for in a simple rhyme off women and children first. I don't think anyone has made a lesson for it and haven't been able to find tab for it.

[DougFCKNSteele]

@DTPVH Yeah..They're hard to find out here, i think I have a couple floating around. I think they're a tad thicker than jazz 3's, and I have wore down the sides, but great for pick slides.

[REDSOXNYG]

love that guitar dude, what kind of pickup is that?

[DougFCKNSteele]

@REDSOXNYG schaller hot stuff.

[thebluesrockers]

@DougFCKNSteele it's not my cup of tea, but I do love how different it is. I don't think I have ever seen another one just like it. the black and white strike me better than Eddies does.peace and thanks for sharing. Van Halen ,up to women and children were a band to be reckon with.I wish they would have never recorded 1984 or anything there after. I hate the Keyboards with Halen. it takes away from what they were known for.

[DougFCKNSteele]

@thebluesrockers Star's my fave, and after Fair Warning, I was pretty much done. Trash here I come!!!

[RandomSpewBros]

@thebluesrockers I wish this scab would show us how to play an f-sharp minor chord in a way that doesn't fuck my hand up so bad. I had to switch hands to masturbate after trying that shit chord. Speaking of my cock, I might get each testicle tattooed with the brain dude on that guys t-shirt. It may piss of my mom but if she doesn't like it, she can close her eyes while she's swallowing my dicksnot.

[DougFCKNSteele]

@RandomSpewBros send pics.

[resqfireman]

You definitley have the Van Halen stuff down. I have only been playing for about 6 months, and eventhough I am a quick learner, I really havent tried to tackle Eddies stuff yet, lol.

[foil666]

You could try a jazz III red pick, they're identical, except for the color.

[DougFCKNSteele]

@foil666 too smoothe, don't like the texture, and red is ugly.

[IMSOSIC]

@DougFCKNSteele what about the ultex jazz III?? have you tried those??

[YummyBananaFish]

@IMSOSIC Doug replied to the wrong guy:

Yeah..They're hard to find out here, i think I have a couple floating around. I think they're a tad thicker than jazz 3's, and I have wore down the sides, but great for pick slides.

Thought you might appreciate it Mr. imsosic

[arsehole420]

hah i wanna watch better off dead now.

[maxwellthedog]

Fuckin sweet Doug

[DougFCKNSteele]

@maxwellthedog Cheers dude.

[Gibson735150]

What's your delay settings?

[DougFCKNSteele]

@Gibson735150 Off the top of my head, I'm using digital delay model..mix would be at about 28%, fade is like 17%...I smack the strings and I wanna hear the delay once, and maybe a faint one after that..Delay speed is around the 500MS mark. I want enough delay to hear it subtely, if the shit's overbearing, you gotta turn it down a bit. Use your ears.

[tollan23]

nice one!!

[VendorLock]

Good shred. rock on dude.

[codyjt5150]

2:05 man you fucked up YOUR USING THE WRONG PICK!!! lol jk
