I really want a Road Flare Red RG550 20th Ann. now. I can't get my yellow one to sound anything like this, must be something to do with the paint ;) Excellent playing as usual Satch.
if i dont look at this tab while watchin one of his vids i would swear it was the album version .... i shit you not i 100% would swear it was an album version
Thats one funky looking Ibanez and to say its more of a Metal sound from it you got quite a good tone from it - quite close to Eddies sound - well as close as your going to get with that guitar Impressive playing, one of VH best songs in my opinion
@resqfireman I have a feeling that Alex didn't not play on this track. I sounds like someone else on several tunes on VH3, most likely Ed. VH3 was basically an EVH solo record.
Great job man, i remember seeing this song in Lethal Weapon 4 with the pyro-trooper guy jammin to this tune while torchin cop cars lol, great memory there, thanks =P
gary was the best 3rd singer choice,ever think they just shouldnt have got a third singer,anyway rock on vh,rock on gary,i loved that lineup and album
Eddie's guitar during the main riff (verses and intros) is a whole step up. To play this in standard tuning, just read the tab and play the strings two frets up.
The prechorus and chorus is in standard.
The outro is 2 and a half steps down, so most of it would be somewhat difficult to play without stopping and tuning in the middle of the song.
whoa u actually did some VHIII didnt expect it u think u can do without you if u have the time and the backing track if not oh well it was worth a shot great cover i didnt really like VHIII hahahaha neither did most of the planet :P only sold like 500,000 copies wow terrible (well compared to VHs sales)
Typically brilliant playing satch! Nice axe too RG550 20th anniversary re-issue if i am not mistaken, i just bought one of ebay the other day in desert sun yellow or whatever it is called, i think it must be broken though as i can not get it to sound anything like yours.....
nice job doing it without the transtrem, esp the open string main lick wich is done using open strings in "transtrem A" but in key of B its more difficult fretting that lick. i love jammin on that song, i try to get away with using a capo real quick to switch between A and B keys.
are u doin this in standard tuning? cuz i heard eddie used a trans trem for this. do u hav tabs? bc ive been trying to learn this for forever. btw nice job dude. owned it
dude! I HAD THAT GUITAR IN THE EARLY 90S!!!! but it was orange! i traded my maple neck, like yours, for a rosewood with a very, very good guitarist... Mark McGee from VICIOUS RUMORS. i knew them in the early 90s. ever heard of them? The Ibanez neck is the thinnest and fastest around!
the reissue rg550 is the same color as what you had back then...its called road flare red. basically its dayglo orange. yes i agree the original wizard neck is the thinnest widest fastest smoothest neck in the business
my friend has one just like that im not sure which model but it has a sparkle blue finish. Its an RG and has a HSH pickup configuration with a floyd rose. its from the 90s. Do you know what model it is?
Wow awesome. There are some good cuts on this album it was just too much of a change from normal Van Halen. Bitch song but even better job playin it! 5 thumbs up!
Trying to find time to play! Actually I have been working a little on some classic classic VH... hopefully it will be "presentable" soon hahaha. As always, you are a great inspiration. Oh, and I went to see Maiden last week for the first time since 1985... killer show!
awesome ty 4 sharing joy subbed and 5***** I saw Van Halen in 1982 in Philly then Dave by himself in the mid 80s in Ptld ME...peace and keep on rockin' all youtubers =] billybrews and kats mama
i can't get enough of this toon man, I love the Roth classics, But eddie really put some thought into the later eras of VH tunes, stuff like after shock, 5150, get up, fire in the hole, it's just more demanding to play, especially to play well, dude you nail the shit.
I'm a knuckledragger who tries to play VH, you could fill in on the nights eddie is too wasted to play and prolly do better!!
You outdid yourself on this one, Satch! I don't know how you do it, but you not only get the VH sound, but the soul too. What an awesome send off. Oh, I like that shirt you have on! And the kids look and sound stunnah.
OMFG dude, that was fucking awesome!!! I have a shit eating grin the entire time I was watching it!!! Fucking excellent! I'm a happy man, I just finished something on my strat for you as requested, uploading now!!!
Thx man, you rule the guitar, give me lessons when I get back!!
great as always, but... I finally figured out the mystery of satch. You are the son that Eddie hasnt come forth with and you are ready to replace your dad and go out with Wolfie when Eddie dies. Mystery solved, now everyone can rest easy!!
