[doubleg35]

[tomdcourt]

awsome job!!!! what amp are you using and what pick-up have you put in the guitar????

[Nighthawk77x]

u never cease to amaze me kid keep it up love the van halen

[frankenstrat25]

i cant believe anyone can hate the destroyer and i gotta ask was W.A.S.P even around in 74 i dont think so so he cudnt have borrowed it from the guitarist of W.A.S.P i absolutely love and so does eddie u dont see him play it anymore because he retired it in 1980 once i get the money im goin to las vegas goin to ED ROMANS guitar store because he has sharks in stock and guess what he used to work with EVH MAKING GUITARS FOR HIM!!!!!

[frankenstrat25]

who here thinks that the shark sounds terrible i think it sounds great he used it on WACF and VH1 all the songs that he duznt use a whammy bar on he did except the shark did the intro to "feel your love tonight" and the rhythm to "jamies cryin"

[lisannhodges67]

I freakin love it!

[lopikujm22]

sick  really

[gunsandkonig]

Very good, but dont forget to strum the strings behind the nut before you start.

1st fret to 6th fret...

[lisannhodges67]

Thanks!

Eddie didnt rake behind the nut, he used a explorer which had a stop tail piece or whatever its called and he strumed behind that, doesnt sound right to me behind the nut for some reason.

[drew307]

i agree, everyone always says thats how he did it but it doesnt sound right at all.

[TaorRanger]

Yeah your right.

The explorer was owned by Chris Holmes of WASP, who lent Ed the guitar..... ;-)

[cfalberg]

it was actual a modified ibanez destroyer but wut ever lol

[lisannhodges67]

I thought it was a Korina Gibson Explorer. By the time he chopped it up and realized he ruined the sound they quit making them with that type of wood. BUT I have heard about Eddie borrowing a guitar from someone, I guess it was Chris Holmes and when he got the guitar back, Eddie had the bridge turned backwards.

[cfalberg]

nope youre right with what you said just ibanez destroyer instead of an explorer..... there pretty much the same guitar though i think gibson sued ibanez for the design at somepoint too. yea i wood asume that the ibanez would be cheaper which explains why eddie went for that rather than the explorer.

[nadbatak]

it's called a bridge :)

[SPEEDFREAK200008]

very good !!!!!

[BallBuster5150]

dude, cool shit! Finally someone who Gets It. I want to see your version of Mean Street. Thats gotta be my favorite VH tune and maybe VH's Version of Push Comes to Shove. I also see you've been watching guitarwannabee's lessons but i think you have better chops then Craig now. Sorry Craig you know its true. keep it up man

[PickYourBonezOut]

it took me like 5 years to learn guitar so well that i didn't have to look at the frets for a speed metal solo... Rhythm guitar is easyer than lead but you can still play solos... Keep up the good work dude

[Kimberfignugen]

You are so freakin awesome at guitar! Your like Eddie Van Halen! no lie=p everytime i hear you nail a lick or just play so smoothly it leaves me speechless. theres no words on earth that can compliment how well you play guitar.

[DxRox22]

Sorry, but I am 14 and I have been playing about a couple months less than you, and when i am 17 i hope to be as good as you, i just want to know one thing, how did you build your amazing speed and ability to play so clean (like some exercises or songs you learned) like, i saw your eruption vid, and it is freaking amazing. Also, one more question (sorry). How did you learn to put guitars together and wire them properly, I really want to learrn how to do that, because I am planning on building 1

[drew307]

trial and error bud

[dirtydeeds73]

learn proper soldering techniques and look up wire diagrams. that's how i did it :)

[derrickm5150HT]

Try scales (start slow then build speed) , and watch the masters ;)

[Sandrafe261]

Fantastic! Could you do a liitle clip where you play the solo slowly ?? I can't figure it out..:-(

[Edhead88]

Amazing work man keep it up!

[baycamperz]

please teach me

[TIMMEHHURTS]

dude how do you put a floyd rose into a strat (or anyother type for that matter) body? i really want to make my own guitars and i have alot of good ideas but im scared i could very easily mess up the tremolo. i really like your guitars btw. and that one looks good left natural haha, better with the evh paint though ;)

[AssassinSteven]

You stick it in like a normal tremole

[Zakkozzy666]

dude you're really good. keep on rockin' :P

[JoeCubicle]

Great Job ! I played when I was younger, I can really appreciate the amount of practice it takes to pull that off.

Don't stop.

[r8rjordan]

FUCKING AMAZING! If you're not in a band you need to get in one asap.

[johndennerrocks]

This  is awesome!

You really nail that classic EVH guitar tone....

and your doing it without the new EVH Wolfgang to boot.

Nice work as always,

John Denner

[tomahawk368]

Dude, his new wolfgang is like 3,000!

[lisannhodges67]

THAT SUX I WANT ONE!!!!!

[jcm8002204]

Don't paint that guitar...it sounds fine the way it is...What amp/effects are you using. Thanks.

[lisannhodges67]

Yea I loved the grain of this body.Its already been painted, I custom made it for someone.Check out my aint talkin bout love video to see it completed.

[thojyout23]

for someone, you fit that guitar man!

[lisannhodges67]

What?

[thojyout23]

i mean i thought u made that guitar for a friend, but i think u deserve it

[lisannhodges67]

Oh ok. Yea I loved that guitar, played GREAT!

[lisannhodges67]

Im using a Mg 100 dfx and a little reverb from the amp.

[guitarplayeramerica]

Eddie Van Halen would have a hard time playing it this well these days!

He did not even play at the winter Namm Show this year yet has a new line of EVH GEAR guitars?

[lisannhodges67]

I know i was really lookin foward to seeing him demo the wolfgang =(

[anthrax15l]

great talent,gooooooood job:D

[johndennerrocks]

Stopping by to view your EVH covers..

Great job on Running with the Devil.

[ranqedmuch]

wow that was like........perfect

[droptohelld2h]

This is really good!

[sgfreak96]

is tht the guitar before its painted?

[lisannhodges67]

No this is a different one.

[fenderpwnage]

well, it will probably be like the one you got or design my own custom design with only one humbucker

[fenderpwnage]

did you build your guitars from warmoth parts, or all parts? cause when i build me a super strat, it's going to be a warmoth

[lisannhodges67]

I got the parts from different places.I havent played a warmoth personally but ive heard there awesome quality.

[troysutphin209]

hey u freakin rock...

hey i'm also building a evh guitar

i was wondering what humbucker u used

[lisannhodges67]

Thanks, which evh are you making?I got that humbucker for 15 bux from a place on ebay.

[VanHalenBand]

You should do Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love when you get a chance or some stuff off of VH2..Anyway great cover bro keep on rockin!

[lisannhodges67]

Im doin aint talkin bout love next(My favorite)

[VanHalenBand]

Mine too. That opening riff is amazing.. I'm puttin more VH stuff on my channel. Got any ideas?

[KalMac07]

great cover! what are your amp settings? I find I can't a get good tone out of a marshall MG.....

[lisannhodges67]

I use the Over drive 2 and

gain-7 or 8

bass-6

middle-2

treble-9 or 10

contour-7 or 8

I think thats all the settings right?

[brenzaboom]

[lisannhodges67]

Wow thanks man!

[wackojackocrazy]
