This is awesome dude, great job!

[EVHguitargod]

@ian3754 Thanks man!

[bkljaydee]

sorry, didn't see if people asked.....what guitar is that? Is that a music man? Nice looking. The fretboard looks like you put it to good use. I like how you modeled very closely the sound of the original on your amp. What kind of amp and do you use effects etc.? Thanks. Great Rockin job.

[EVHguitargod]

@bkljaydee Thanks dude, the guitar is a Peavey Wolfgang. They make Fender Wolfgangs now, but the Peavey brand is no longer being produced. You can find a bunch of them on ebay though. That's where I got mine. The amp I use is an old Peavey 5150 combo 2X12 amp. It works really well in my opinion. Usually when I'm playing Van Halen I stuff I pretty much always use an EVH phase 90 on the solos. Also, I own the EVH flanger and a DD-6 delay that I use occasionally. Hope this helps!

@EVHguitargod Thanks for the info. Yes it is very helpful.

@EVHguitargod Very sweet playing here guy and love the wolfgang how long did it take to learn the song and how did you nail the tuning and amp settings?

[EVHguitargod]

@Atomicsonic1 Thanks man. I always appreciate the nice comments. Yea the tuning was a basic half a step down. Most early Van Halen is that way most likely to account for Dave's lower voice. For the amp settings, I think I just looked online and saw what the best settings were for my amp. I used to change the settings depending on the album, but now I just keep it on one setting that works for most Van Halen. I'm not sure how long it took me to be honest, sorry.

AWESOME!! whats the tuning

[EVHguitargod]

@kickflipperland12 thanks man; The tuning is half a step down. Most of roth era van halen songs are half a step down

[kickflipperland12]

@EVHguitargod ok thanks!!

Good job man! I can see you'll get better in the future...one thing i noticed watching a couple of your vids is that you don't use your pinky...you got crazy big hands and it's insane not to take advantage of it! get the tab for "ice cream man" and practice the stretch at the beginning of the solo and put that pinky to work! You have a physical advantage my friend. Rock on!

[EVHguitargod]

@saa5mtp thanks man. I really appreciate it. And yes, I have been practicing that solo for yeeeaaaars, and I've never been able to nail it. The pinky was something that I haven't been able to do decent until the last couple of years. Once the summer hits, I plan on releasing a ton of videos with improved technique so check 'em out when the time comes.

[5150RDH]

Good job on the song. Beautiful Wolfgang (bought mine in early 1998), love those guitars! Subbed you, check out some of my evh vids when you get a chance, I think you'll like 'em. Keep rockin' the VH man!!

[EVHguitargod]

Thanks man! I'll make sure to check out your videos.

[SuperYukonjohn]

What tuning are you in?

[EVHguitargod]

It's half a step down. The whole first album is half a step down.

[GrizAdams111]

Check out GuitarUTube's instructional...he nails EVH feel.

[abney20]

you don't have a feel for ed's tone. 95% of ed's tone comes from the picking hand and the way he attacks the strings on the fretboard. let me say this, IT IS NOT VERY CONVENTIONAL....... good playing though.

[EVHguitargod]

i played to the cd, unless you mean play faster than the cd in which case i could consider for the future

[eddiehalenvan]

cool but you could speed it up a litle

[EVHguitargod]

or do you mean I'm not keeping up with the cd. If that's the case I can't hear the cd very well while I'm playing. If you could comment back and explain what you mean I would really appreciate it. I value input.

[eddiehalenvan]

i tried to play to playback on a song by van halen, so now I know what you mean.

again good job and you got a cool guitar. =)

[EVHguitargod]

thanks man, and I appreciate you responding back.
