Van Halen - Unchained - Guitar Lesson

[reyeror]

That's the sammy hagar's guitar on give to live clip!!!!! it's beautiful!!!!!

[zakkattack99]

sexy neck and headstock dude

[DuncanDonuts3]

Thank you! It's actually in Dflat(guitar tuned Eflat, then drop the D).

Your guitar (and fingers!) sound superb!

It's a fine lesson, I was able to learn the fingering from you.

Sounds really weird on my SG (or just plain wrong for some reason).

[jh881000]

so is the Van halen guitar anthology series wrong???

[SomeDude0nline]

pretty cool...shouldn't call it a lesson though

[padawan007]

its a reissue by gibson

[jtomasik]

Nice. Great job.

[edpotkay1]

vh om naluim

[PopExpo]

when you play this riff clean with no distortion maybe with just a little overdrive it sounds like a rolling stones riff

[meyers5150]

turn off the reverb Roy Orbison.

[Guldbarren]

Ur guitar is fucking ugly dude, and the tone sucks

[madmatt216]

@Guldbarren dumbass

[Guldbarren]

@madmatt216 fucking loser, you're also playing it WRONG

[TNkenny]

love the method you use to teach. no talking......''now put your first finger on the 5th fret blah blah blah" great vid. Keep em coming

[Hunkola]

I thought this song was supposed to be played in drop D ??

[metalmusiqcrzy]

@Hunkola yes in drop d .

[US185VOSS2]

Everybody plays this song like the tabs, the "Unchained" video when Eddie was drunk, and the way Eddie plays it now.......

But they don't play it like Eddie did in the original recording.

There is no 3-5-3 on the 5th string.

It's 3(5th string)-2 dead on the 6th, then 3(5th again)

[irarawkstarr]

You play it a little differently than I do. Nice Kramer btw.

[Hertsman50]

Dude you're playing the chords in the wrong place, it doesn't sound right.

[602KusH]

tuning is drop d flat, and the rest of the strings are all tuned down a half step.

[metalmusiqcrzy]

@602KusH do there is such thing as dflat im in e flat and drop the low e to dflat .then its drop d flat right.

[raindance74]

I love all nobody plays this in the right tuning on youtube. it's dropped a half step.

[Obelix5150]

Actually, the way Eddie played it was just on the D, G, and B strings, not full barre chords. Either version sounds right enough though.

[ZurkonTheDestroyer]

This is in drop D

[ThePittstructor]

nice guitar! Kramer?

[Heatleakz]

great job!

[truebootsyes]

veryvery good method of teaching! thank you tons bro!

[cbond99]

For all who have commented on tuning, Eddie tunes a half step down on almost all of the older VH songs. Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan and George Lynch did/do this as well. Go play along with "In My Dreams" by Dokken and have your guitar tuned standard (440). You will see that you are a half step "high".

[Schimmoller]

the corky version

[guitarguyvalery]

sry abt my last comment lol

um no its in Eb and the low E is tuned to C#

[metalmusiqcrzy]

can i play it in standard E( E-A-D-G-B-E )

[Arcane5150]

@metalmusiqcrzy

You can, but it sounds better at Drop D tuning. Just hit your thirs string, and tune down the low E to match it. If correct the first two low strings will sound like a power cord if you hit them both on the same fret.

[seannathen]

its c# but is the but is the lowest string tuned to tht to?

[MrTrainman1]

no the lowest string is tuned to d

[DarthKazi]

Just a suggestion for us beginners... could you use a more straight-on view of the fretboard instead of an angle? Otherwise great job slowing it down! Thanks!

[TheGaetz]

nice lesson thanks

[jamemusical]

pretty good lesson bro : )

[BritCommando12]

Sounds like you got too much reverb or delay or something. But Unchained is a bitch to completely learn lol pretty good!

[66jtm45]

cool guitar

[PDXguitarfreak]

Very cool - one of my fave =VH= tunes. I just posted a version of me playing this on guitar with a cool vocals/drum/bass backtrack. Let me know what you think man. Rock on!

[BlackWolfgang70]

great lesson ... have a look to my channel on youtube when you'll have time ! great van halen covering ! 5 stars !

[TheGuitarSentry]

Terrible tone dude.

[DarthKazi]

Is he teaching tone? If you want tone, listen to the fucking record, douche.

[itcantbeso]

Awesome, thanks for the insight !

[mexrilla]

your camera didn't do this badass guitar justice....

[beatitbuzzkill]

im almost 100% sure its drop d cuz i saw a thing about eddies guitars and like exact information and shit idk

[ppitt5150]

It is not drop D, it is actually a drop C#. For years we all thought it was drop D, but if you listen carefully, that chunky sound is much more accurate when done by lowering the E down to C#. Try it and let me know. I think drop C# is more accurate than drop D.

[Celmer77]

yup Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb

[toyoubecritic1]

Drop C# is also d flat. so maybe that's where the confusion comes in. So if you have your guitar tuned down a half step and you drop to D???? Hmm.......

Very good looking out there man most dont realize.

[petegoyeroslin]

tell me if im wrong,,,,,yes its drop d , but the guitar is tuned down half a step, so yes it is c....???

[petar1987]

no it's just tuned Eb

i know couse i have that tuning when i play SRV songs

[ReDRuM868]

Drop C# = Db, which it is technically in Drop Db tuning (Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)

[sam32708]

Exactly

He's right people get over it...

[AssassinSteven]

The normal tunning is a halfstap down E flat, and eddie drops it from there making it C# YES if your at standard origanly

[Powerloaded]

Thats awesome dude !! Love the solo.

Did you figure it out for you self ? or from TAB ? cheers

[car3939]

ear training and youtube :-)

[kissrocks45]

good vid! hey keep your cross from hitting that guitar lol dont wanna scratch it.

[colin1262]

a good job with SLOWING down and showing Hows it done... But would be even better if you were facing the camara straight on

[KDoverock93]

Hey i really thought you did a good job covering this song. it looked like one of van halens easier riffs to play. I just don't understand where the notes are, maybe you can make another video and tell which frets and chords? if you could that would be so awsome, thx. EVH forever :]

[Mastercaster1984]

nvm its the 84 reissue im thinking about getting one how much?

[car3939]

Yes, It's a Kramer 84 Reissue. I bought it for 600 Euro one year ago on ebay. It seems currently unavailable.

[Mastercaster1984]

is that the 1985 Kramer Baretta reissue?

[Pyr0King]

I figured out the intro but its harder to figure out the first verse with the lyrics because EVH uses so many effects. A different view showing more of the fretboard would be cool

[hdman169]

nice.. i just started learning this song today..

thanks this helped alot
