Thank you so much for sending me the link to this. when i first saw the message, i thought that it was just gonna be another advertisement, but when i saw the video, i realized you were legit, and not some company trying to make money. thank you so much. not only have these techniques helped me learn this song, but they've also helped me with writing my own. and they also seem to have helped me type this faster. thank you again :)
Great "how To Play Intro To "Mean Street. Can't wait till I can learn this intro! Along with Van Halen's new CD comes a DVD of them playing three of VH's best tunes all on acoustic guitars and Alex on Bongos. Awesome. A must see!! This guy makes a great presentation on playing VH songs.
@DaBoMb305 It's from a demo of mine for the album I am working on. If you want to check out more just search "Caligulus Supremus Official" on facebook. There is also a link there at my Shred Guitar Academy YouTube page. \m/
i miss all the old van ha,en stuff iremember plaing the shit out of van halen 2 on my mothers one piece zenith system console with the built in speakers . when you had it up all the way the record would skip cause the needle would bounce.oops!!lol i use to play d.o.a. the most.. they found a dirty faced kid in a garbage can!!!
@MetalRiffAcademy and that is the right way to make that guitar! i cant beleive morons buying it for that abnormal price, when EVH himself made it from scrap material! Cheers!
@poopenschnagger 39,000! Damn man, you'd be better off purchasing one from here (US) and having it shipped to you because that price is just insane! I saw a few EVH frankenstein's (name of the guitar model) go for around 8-12 thousand, but anywhere over 25Gs is just a complete rip off (unless used by EVH of course). Or as an alternative, just pick up a cheap Jackson guitar similar to Randy Rhoad's, that's what I did and it works fantastically : ]
@MetalRiffAcademy I agree 100%. I grow tired of hearing people go on and on about his soloing only, though. I see him as the most extraordinary rhythm guitarist. Notable songs that come to mind are, 5150, Top Jimmy, Me Wise Magic, Without You (yes, it's Van Halen III, but the playing in that song is fantastic) I could go on and on. Thanks for the video! Really great stuff!
Thank You for this. I have been playing for under a year. (I own a Wlfgang..) I only know how to play the part after the tapping that is pretty much the rythym section. Thank you fro slowing this all down. BTW....is that the $25k Frankenstrat?? I opted to buy a house instead. I want that guitar very badly. Then I can die in peace!!!!
... how 'bout doing Eddie's intro to Source of Infection? I've seen people do it , and the notes seem to sound good, but no one seems to get the exact timing down with the notes.
It would be cool to see someone do and teach the Source of Infecftion intro, properly, that is!
@4GuitarTrance I only do Diamond Dave era Van Halen ;P Just kidding. Maybe at some point. My time for making these types of lessons is pretty limited but maybe at some point. \m/
Wow! That's on the button! I've seen many, many videos on YouTube (and others) and I've yet to see anyone really nail it like this. The rhythm is perfect, the harmonics ring out, the teaching is great...fabulous. We're talking the best I've heard or seen in 30 yrs!!
WOW First time Iv'e seen your vids, and I don't think I can keep up with them but, don't cut us any slack. If you don't push yourself you will never improve.
What a way of meeting people and get to see their talent. At first was reluctant being on youtube, but getting to do this has brought me into the houses of some very special people. You are one of them. Life; isn't it wonderful!
Keep up the good work. Hope You Are Having A Splendid Day!
@RevelationWarriors I play in a band called Anatolian Wisdom. We have some videos up. Also all the music at the end of my videos are from demos for the solo album I am working on. I am working on getting some videos up soon of me playing and teaching some of my own stuff. \m/
@mnm1945 I am tuned down a half step and it says that onscreen at 00:40 right before I start teaching how to play it if you have annotations turned on.
Cool info! And wow, shows a lot of imagination from Eddie to come up with such a thing. Funny how time can make or break a lick, played slow it sounds like a bunch of gibberish. Great camera and you show how to play parts in a patient way imo. "the haters", man, what are they putting in the water where some of these people are from commenting on Youtube(?) I think were in trouble haha. You play it right imo and will be checking back if I want to learn something, thanks.
thx man. and btw, i have a new youtube account. well two actualy. EpicGamers247 and GIFannimations. and yes i know i purposly misspelled Giffannimations.haha.
This is proof-positive of why EVH is a ROCK GUITAR LEGEND!!!
Sure, he can't pick a zillion notes like some shredders can BUT, he DEFINITELY showed people that there's soooooooo much that the guitar can do; there are no limits.
I don't why people try to dis him. To deny his contribution to the inventiveness when it comes to rock guitar is stupid!
He's unmatched for that alone! The beauty of it all is that he did all of this in the context of GREAT ROCK songs! This ability is a lost art.
@kojam Cyber high-fives! IMO he is the most creative and inventive electric guitar player ever. Insanely original musically and in terms of techniques he pioneered. I'm sure a lot of people are unaware of as well his affect on guitar design and gear in general which was equally as huge. He is basically responsible for the super strat style guitar. He pioneered higher gain tones and so many other things. I'm not the biggest Van Halen fan in the world but as a guitar player he is #1 in my books.
@EVH578 I hate to break it to you but I'm about 5 6" on a good day if I round up a bit with fairly small hands, and I can't say for sure but I think Ed is about the same size as me. They say the camera adds ten pounds, maybe it also makes your fingers appear longer ;) \m/
@MetalRiffAcademy Yea Eds fingers are kinda short, pretty much same as urs :) now in my situation i have huge hands (like im huge to1.93 Cm) so i wanna ask u one thing, is this lick tougher for bigger hands, cs ive mastered pretty much every thing in Eddies style (tapping, Harmonics, Whammy, Echo stuff etc) and if yes is there a special technique to master it, i mean i can do 8 finger hammer ons but i can hardly make this one sound anything like normal. . .
@MrAppolo777 Geez, I don't know what to suggest. I only have experience having hands my size;P So I don't really know. I used to think having long fingers like Buckethead and Paul Gilbert was where it's at but then I saw Paul talk about how he can't do sweep arpeggios real well and that's probably the reason. Who knows. Just keep at it \m/
@ShredGuitarAcademy OK TNX anyways monster lesson. though i have gorillas paws they still shred so ill just stick to it till they bleed mastering this riff, cs its very effective doesn't matter what u play this lick goes well with everything. . . Dig ur lessons, Rock On!!!
@EVH578 Go check out Jess Lewis. She's a TINY 17 year old girl who is just about dwarfed by her Strat, and she's incredible. If anyone thinks they're at a disadvantage because they have small hands, this should pick you right up. here she is live this year: /watch?v=ECQSKD6oEbQ
@MetalRiffAcademy Why I have a container of it here, and so far no bones... wait a minute, what's this?!?!? That's not a bone! Hey, why is the serving size on the nutrition facts label listed as "One Load"?!?!?
@Mockingbird5150 It sure looks like the 25 grand one that they were selling. Post more, dude. you can play!!! you and Dweezil Zappa need to get together. A lot of similarities in your playing and you both have the ability to teach.
@PJHAIGHT Thanks my friend. And don't worry there isn't much chance of me listening to or giving a damn about the haters. There is never any shortage of them on YouTube or in life in general. It's hilarious. Take Star Wars for example. It has only 94% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. It wasn't a good enough movie for 6% of reviewers. That 6% could have done better. Only thing is I would bet my life that not even one of those reviewers has ever made a movie or done much of anything else. \m/
@guitarbridgecleaner Hmm. Weird. Cuz I thought my friend Greg spent a year & a half building this guitar & awesomely lent it to me for this video. I also thought the Fender replicas go for about 25K & considering the amount of craftsmanship & time that goes into making such a perfect replica I'm not too sure that's not a fair price for someone with the cash. I must have got a wicked deal @ only 10K? Or maybe you are just another internet douchebag who doesn't have a clue what he's talking about?
@THCronos These videos unfortunately take an extremely long time to make and edit. Even just adding the tab annotations took me about two hours to do yesterday. I just got a Mac that makes the editing process go a lot faster so I should be posting more often but I've always done as much as I can. When I started it I was hoping to make some $ at it so I could cut down on my private teaching schedule and put more time into videos but that hasn't happened yet. \m/
Awesome man. I don't usually go learn songs from youtube but this was taught really well plus you chose this awesome song which teaches cool techniques too. Couldn't stop myself from getting my guitar out and start practicing this one. \m/
Wow! That's on the button! I've seen many, many videos on YouTube (and others) and I've yet to see anyone really nail it like this. The rhythm is perfect, the harmonics ring out, the teaching is great...fabulous.
What a way of meeting people and get to see their talent. At first was reluctant being on youtube, but getting to do this has brought me into the houses of some very special people. You are one of them. Life; isn't it wonderful!
Keep up the good work. Hope You Are Having A Splendid Day!
Am I the only one that finds it hard to believe somebody who can pull of the intro that well and has a pretty decent Frankenstrat replica would actually fuck up the title to the opening track to Fair Warning?? Pehh.. tsk, tsk, tsk..
@akgbassguitarkidmsc This is actually from the extra special unreleased version that Van Halen did for the Scorcese movie Mean Streets. It's exactly the same song, but called Mean Streets to go with the film. Unfortunately they recorded the song 8 years too late so it never made it into the final cut of the film. They changed the song to Mean Street in order to not get sued. It makes sense if you don't think about it. \m/

FACT Sammy never had a Platinum album before or after Van Halen.
FACT Sammy inherited his fame because David Lee Roth quit the band.
FACT Van halen sold twice as many albums with DLR!
FACT Van Halen grossed twice as much with DLR!
FACT Chickenfoot bombed with their second album and Sammy has to talk trash about EVH for publicity.

@Mockingbird5150 It sure looks like the 25 grand one that they were selling. Post more, dude. you can play!!! you and Dweezil Zappa need to get together. A lot of similarities in your playing and you both have the ability to teach.
thanks for your videos.

@PJHAIGHT Thanks my friend. And don't worry there isn't much chance of me listening to or giving a damn about the haters. There is never any shortage of them on YouTube or in life in general. It's hilarious. Take Star Wars for example. It has only 94% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. It wasn't a good enough movie for 6% of reviewers. That 6% could have done better. Only thing is I would bet my life that not even one of those reviewers has ever made a movie or done much of anything else. \m/

Cool lesson

@guitarbridgecleaner Hmm. Weird. Cuz I thought my friend Greg spent a year & a half building this guitar & awesomely lent it to me for this video. I also thought the Fender replicas go for about 25K & considering the amount of craftsmanship & time that goes into making such a perfect replica I'm not too sure that's not a fair price for someone with the cash. I must have got a wicked deal @ only 10K? Or maybe you are just another internet douchebag who doesn't have a clue what he's talking about?

@THCronos These videos unfortunately take an extremely long time to make and edit. Even just adding the tab annotations took me about two hours to do yesterday. I just got a Mac that makes the editing process go a lot faster so I should be posting more often but I've always done as much as I can. When I started it I was hoping to make some $ at it so I could cut down on my private teaching schedule and put more time into videos but that hasn't happened yet. \m/

Awesome man. I don't usually go learn songs from youtube but this was taught really well plus you chose this awesome song which teaches cool techniques too. Couldn't stop myself from getting my guitar out and start practicing this one. \m/

Wow! That's on the button! I've seen many, many videos on YouTube (and others) and I've yet to see anyone really nail it like this. The rhythm is perfect, the harmonics ring out, the teaching is great...fabulous.
Keep those vids coming.

What a way of meeting people and get to see their talent. At first was reluctant being on youtube, but getting to do this has brought me into the houses of some very special people. You are one of them. Life; isn't it wonderful!
Keep up the good work. Hope You Are Having A Splendid Day!

Am I the only one that finds it hard to believe somebody who can pull of the intro that well and has a pretty decent Frankenstrat replica would actually fuck up the title to the opening track to Fair Warning?? Pehh.. tsk, tsk, tsk..

@akgbassguitarkidmsc This is actually from the extra special unreleased version that Van Halen did for the Scorcese movie Mean Streets. It's exactly the same song, but called Mean Streets to go with the film. Unfortunately they recorded the song 8 years too late so it never made it into the final cut of the film. They changed the song to Mean Street in order to not get sued. It makes sense if you don't think about it. \m/
