SATCH IS THE GREATEST GUITARIST EVER!!!

[johnnybeane]

@thrashredx10

Very nice guy.

I met him in person a year ago.

[thrashredx10]

@johnnybeane Yeah he is my inspiration to play I have played for 3 years only and here is my video of my first performance about a year ago the second song is better than the first but it sounds like an EVH song :D

[johnnybeane]

@thrashredx10

Awesome!

[johnnybeane]

Van Halen played "Hear About It Later" live tonight in Indy!

[Tranquillity45]

scam!

[johnnybeane]

@Tranquillity45

Scram!

[MrUltraworld]

GMW makes great stuff. I send my bodies to them for paint. Eddie trademarked the stripes logo and sent lawyers after anyone using it. I guess Eddie's short on money.

[johnnybeane]

@MrUltraworld

They do make great stuff!

[thedamnredneck]

Thank u! The 5150? It's a GMW, It was made for some dude and i got it @ SXSW from another dude who used to sell guitars to Cobain.

[Schecter725]

[Schecter725]

[CACAEVANS80]

[johnnybeane]

@CACAEVANS80

it's a custom guitar built by GMW - they built D. Zappa's "Shamer 5149 and a half" guitar.

They don't make them anymore.

[johnsone7777]

where do i get one of those guitars?

[johnnybeane]

@johnsone7777

some people build em themselves.

[mullyandtomoko]

@johnsone7777 I don't know where this one was made but you can order one from Mean Street guitars. I have one from there, quality stuff.

[rags847]

So, Eddie does it in every solo he has ever done .... uh, in case you missed that the first five times I said that ... Eddie does it in every solo he ever does...uh, coming up I'm gonna tell you how Eddie has done that in every solo he has ever done...

[johnnybeane]

@rags847

[DimeRR5150]

Dime squeals sound a little bit cleaner, your a great guitar player and I think you'll catch on pretty quick!

[hirskdubbi]

[johnnybeane]

@supexavi0424

[MeYouView]

Michael Anthony is the coolest! Mike out of Van Halen shows you just how crazy that band is (Eddie).

[uberlosbster]

where can i get that guitar? is that a model of eddies?

[johnnybeane]

@uberlosbster

It's a GMW but they don't make em anymore.

[Nameless666Maggot]

@johnnybeane You could get one custom made?

[johnnybeane]

@Nameless666Maggot

yeah.

[maxinpains]

because It's His Eddie's "Signature Moves" ..that's why...LOL

[ChiroQuacker]

you do look like seth rogan...could be his stand-in on his next film...better you look like seth then that little fat jew jonah hill with the big mouth from superbad...in real life that wimp would be getting his ass kicked every other day...but in the movies jonah hill is always running the show...

[johnnybeane]

@ChiroQuacker

I don't even know who seth rogen is.

I always thought him and jonah hill were the same guy.

[ChiroQuacker]

@johnnybeane

you are full of shit...seth rogan is in every other movie that comes out these days...lie to yourself not to me...

as for this clip..it sucks...the opening few minutes where u play the same shit over and over and say eddie plays this lick on every track ever...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

mikey was right..what he was "really' sayng is you look like a "jew"...and u do...thats why you never could have gotten into a van halen band...you dont have ""the look"...

sorry moishe

[johnnybeane]

@ChiroQuacker

Ive never seen a seth rogan film, i don't really watch current films.

Will see his next film though because a friend of mine is in it.

[ChiroQuacker]

@johnnybeane

wait a second...you said you never heard of seth rogan...NOW...you say your friend is in seth's next film...

if you never heard of him before...how did you know your friend was in his film?

man you are one friggin huge douchebag...with zero credibility

why dont you move in with mikey into his new basement apartment? ya know the one that has no studio

you are one friggin lying ass jew looking seth rogan look a like...only difference is he has tons of dough and you got squat

[johnnybeane]

@ChiroQuacker

I said i thought him and jonah hill were the same guy.

Never seen his films but a friend is in his next movie so i will go see it.

[KeithKessingerMusic]

Been watching your videos today. Very informative. Great feel on the guitar. Sounds just like Eddie!

[johnnybeane]

@KeithKessingerMusic

Thanks Keith!

Saw your video last night.



[aceeddieslash]

Hey Johnny. What type of pickup is in your 5150? Also great video by the way! helped me out alot!!!  _\,,/

[johnnybeane]

@aceeddieslash

Thanks man!

I think it's a Duncan 59.

[joviblink1]

how tight are your springs? it looks like you have the trem blocked. is this to keep double stops in tune? because it looks like youre pushing down on that bar very hard haha no big deal though 

[johnnybeane]

@joviblink1

The springs are not that tight, i only use 2 springs on that guitar.

The trem sits flush on the body.

[PutItAway101]

Uhhh... did you just spend 2 minutes expaining divebombing an open string?

[neuralfraud]

@PutItAway101 Looks like spent closer to nine minutes. It's like saying that "Here's this trick eddie does every time he does a solo... you ready? *pluck*. There. I picked a string. Eddie does that every time he wants the strings to make sound!"

Cmon man, how can you run out of great ideas? We're talking about evh!

[narvul]

@PutItAway101 It really looks that way..... but that way he can stretch his 'guitarlessons' just about into infinity ;)

And he knows everybody....!!!!!

[kman41000]

Oh well that's too bad if they don't. By the way I can't believe you got to video chat with joe what an experience!

[johnnybeane]

@kman41000

Yeah.

Joe's a cool dude.

I met him in person last March at my friend's Jason Becker benefit.

Joe headlined that night.

I filmed his performance, just search "satriani becker sf".

He puts on a great show!

[kman41000]

Oh nice! Thats actually cool, your lucky to have one! Do you know if they still sell the Kramer 5150?

[johnnybeane]

@kman41000

They may but not anymore with the paint job.

Would be cool if EVH GEAR came out with a relic "Kramer 5150".

That is my favorite Eddie axe.

[stebonar]

@kman41000

Kramer never produced a striped 5150 in its history.

Ed's one was a custom built and custom painted.

Music Yo in early 2000s sold the "Kramer 1984" built on Ed's 5150 Kramer specs but was unable to sell it striped due to ELVH copyright thing. It was available in Black, Red and White only.

[kman41000]

This guy is good and on the ball with vh. By the way were can you get one of those 5150 guitars?

[johnnybeane]

@kman41000

Thank ya!

My guitar was built by a company called GMW, they built the same guitar for Dweezil Zappa in the 80's.

His was called the "Shamer 5149 & a half".

He sold it though at a garage sale he had a while back.

They don't make them anymore though.
