Van Halen- Drop dead legs- guitar only

[ryder4420]

thanks dude

[Lacrymosa1685]

great sound and playing/ too bad van halen 2012 can't still sound like this old stuff

[gsiuta]

Rock on, brother!! Best DDL rhythm lick I've heard- including Eddie!

[sklaft]

Dude, you play it very smoothly. I would have like to have heard more of the amp and less of the pick. CRANK IT, MAN!

[TheAgentAssassin]

I remember in the mid 80's-90's I learned most of SRV stuff and I did all of it without a whammy

Then I watched tons of videos of him playing LIVE and he's using whammy bars on tons of the stuff I thought he was just bending strings

[LilOrphanFunkhauser]

Dig those moves...

[mompox55]

Great job man! Thx.

[wyldemike69]

Excellent job on one of my favorite V H songs! Thanks for the video,man!

[TheBsk5150]

I'm digging it. 

[johanlaurasia]

Pretty good, especially after you warmed up a a bit... played with the right 'feeling'... balls-y feel, like it should be.

[MrJaxreid]

love that tone

[dogdogdogdogdog889]

I GOT ALOT OF HELP WITH THIS SONG FROM YOU WE KIND OF HAVE THE SAME FEEL, I LIKE IT SOUNDS GOOD ON MY EARS KEEP UP THE AWSUM PLAYING.

[PaulTheElite]

loved it pretty good dude

[cassiosconyc]

What's the tunning?

[Cagarrobailon]

brutal!!!! very good!!!

[mgpvii]

First of all great job!!! Interesting this is the third different way I've seen that bending sounding part played. This video shows him sliding it back and forth, another guys I saw doing it by bending and still another guy I saw used the whammy bar to the the sound. Anyone know how Eddie did it? (the part at :20 etc)

[rindcorp1]

Great job!! Great rhythm!!

[feralsanders]

Believe it or not this version is played better than Edward would have played it live, period. Edward live, much more often than not, would botch his own tunes. This is as close to the original recording as imaginable; look at the time clock (!), feel the notes, listen to the intonation, etc.. Wonderful, absolutely fucking wonderful~!

[td7474]

Awesome brother!

[mesa3339]

I got a limp dick, my pregnant women thinks I'm Gay. All I got to hang on to is 150 Watts of POWER.....Thank you Mesa/Boogie!

And that's the truth, I'm not even lying.

P.S. I Love you PUG! and Dude you play AWESOME Sh!t

[clickdrawing]

[Jonzy50]

[smoritz72]

[Flealan]

Wow, you have a real nice groove! Smooth and flawless.

[mmonti1]

nice playin, Im gonna sub, now make some more vids!

[ThePhilj44]

Damn dude,nice shreddin how long you been playin?

[dogkecha]

that was HEAVY!!!!

[poijof]

Seems like you feel the rythym more playing with the slide technique than using the whammy - sounds lot less stiff than many of the other versions. I learned classical on 12 & 24 string acoustic first so I do the same thing, faster hand work but nicer control. Great job.

[SGATrailerPark]

Yeap... That's it! Love the slide you added instaed of the wham bar. Peace

[brucestock1]

by far the best cover of Drop Dead Legs on YouTube- nice work

[GibsonX21]

Great job meng! I want to learn that one now. That was funky. Check out my Van Halen vids if you can. Rock on!!!

[hybrid4crx]

Thanks guys! I'm glad to hear that people are in agreement with me about this song. It's a shame there's not a live version of this floating around.

The guitar is an ESP ltd H-100 that I spray painted O.D. green. It's just a backup guitar. My baby is my 89 Les Paul studio.

I play a lot of metal on guitar. Bands like Slayer, Megadeth, Metallica, Killswitch etc. Bass on the other hand, I tend to be more versatile and I seem to enjoy it a little more. I know I've had more work as a bassist! LOL

[0O0O0O0O0O1000]

iss that a mh-50????

[ronin2167]

Getcha groove on dude!!!  Excellent!!!

[punkatomic]

IMHO, this is the best version of Drop Dead Legs I've seen on youtube. Great Job man! Love the fact that it's guitar only. Thanks hybrid. Like robertsjohn said, INSPIRING!

[robertsjohn2580]

Rockin' cover of a killer tune. Inspiring! I am half way through it.  Clearly you are a player. What else you got for us?

[Atwoshedsjackson]

A lot of Van Halen fans here on youtube seem to be in agreement that "Drop Dead Legs" is one of the best VH songs ever. Makes you wonder why Van Halen never bothered with it live? That said, hybrid4crx has done a great cover - Cheers!!

[daverunner]

the amp was so low it was almost an acoustic version.must have crappy neighbors

awesome playing dude keep it up

[dingadang]

Fantastic.

[hahaloser34]

for the love of god i am begging you to tab this song out, you seem to play it spot on and i really want to learn it but cant find a good tab. excellent job by the way

[xp29kb]

Very cool, dude! Thanks for clearing up a few issues for me.
