Planets on fire : Sammy Hagar of Van Halen (Fingerpicking)

[108sledder]

Screw off if you don't like how well he did. At least he took the time to try. I doubt anyone is perfect trying to accurately play every note the original artist does since even they change them up often. Good effort Joe!

[cagedtigeruk]

Good job mate, well done! I'm learning to play the guitar myself and watch your clips for getting the chords etc. I don't know if you're in a band or whatever but if not then you definitely should be, you're very talented. Someone give this bloke a recording deal! Keep posting SSJ!

[SotR59]

cool

[jeba189]

You play without a pick? Why?

[freedom51100]

Excellent !! Friend its nice to know that your open to accept every good advice. kindly write me on penitent_man777@yahoo.com if its ok for you. Would like to keep in touch.

[freedom51100]

Whoever is playig this bit needs to hear the original clearly once again. The finger picking is wrong after the first sequence. Thank me for telling you the truth. keep playing and do well.

[SixStringJoe]

@freedom51100 Thanks mate. I know all my videos are far from perfect but I just love to play and try not to really kill any song. I'm open to any healthy criticism :)

[usammisc]

@SixStringJoe dude, you jammed your ass off on this one. we can go into tonalities and soon find ourselves losing track of what matters most when playing... soul. you poured some soul into this one and I think it rocks solid. thanks for the lesson.

[SixStringJoe]

@freedom51100 btw, i'm actually playing along with the orignal track. don't know if there's another band covering this besides Sammy Hagar.

[Vanhalen201]

Any tab for this please?

[coreykoepsel]

fine white lines of crystal light

[Number1StarsFan]

I can't believe someone has generated0 9000+ very offbeat views for a very poor variation of something I played at a 1985 talent show with no lesson. Too funny!

[manemustaine]

very cool mate! wicked song, sammy hagar hard to beat!!!

[MultiWaah]

far too much gain. good job though. where'd u learn it?

[kingofstrange]

wow that sucked.

[ravbav73]

hmm not bad in the 'A' part of the solo but you are playing the intro riff wrong mate.listen to it its not too difficult to work out.its a pull off run that goes;e,d,b (2nd string,then;b,a,g (3rd string)then;b,a,g,again,then f sharp,e,d on the 4th string.good luck bud.

[SixStringJoe]

thanks mate. will try that. i play by ear and most of the time they're aren't accurate

[muffdiver66]

*lights lighter* Oh hells yeah! One of Sammy's best! If you need a drummer, let me know.

[Hatesphere123]

i like your style and, if this was worked out by ear... well done not the easiest of songs to do

[STLFISHER]

[pauljefferson]

[lnwlf603]

[SixStringJoe]

thanks bro'. I worked this out by ear. Not really sure if the tab for this one is available. will search for it though.

[bogse]

strong good playing. very good!

[Bad1967]

Amazing job! One of my all-time favorite tunes. Thanks for sharing it. You're a kick-ass player.

[carlosdeno]

no pick........fucking cool dude............

[SPARKIE1972]

fucking awesome mate - well done !!!!!!!!!!!!

[mattynthefunkybunch]

van halen 1, thats my favorite, they're still raw and untempered, once 1984 came out, they had been brought a little more into mainstream, not saying that its bad, but jump was almost all synthesiser/keyboard

[Hatesphere123]

jumps their worst track!! sammy hagar what a legend

[SpaceAceTX]

Personally "sales" and "chart position" mean nothing to me, just a bunch of people jumping on a bandwagon that's already rolling.

[SpaceAceTX]

One of Sammy's best, Sammy was WAY better solo, and VH was WAY better on first 4 lp's with Roth, no questions asked!!!

[MacEricG]

VH I & 1984 were great (in between, they were okay), but so were 5150, OU812, Carnal Knowledge and Balance, as proven by their sales and chart positions.

Personally, I'm glad Hagar came along and VH grew up, rather than going the way of DLR's solo career.

[metalmethatiax]

How do you play the intro? The solo was awesome!

[SixStringJoe]

The intro is just 'pull offs' on the B string starting at the 5th position. Quite easy to play :) Thanks

[scavenger456]

dude thats awesome
