[Eliteguitarschool]

Sweet! Thanks!

[nicolas96saavedra]

it was so difficult to put the tune? whit the microtune i think, please answer hahaha

[satchbooggy]

@nicolas96saavedra what the frig are you talking about? haha

[nicolas96saavedra]

@satchbooggy sorry is that i didn't explain very good haha, is that the tune of this song is like "rare" , and it was so difficult to put that tune in the floyd rose??? i dont speak too much english, sorry hahaha

[erickmorsa]

Cool!

[ZiataGuitars]

Excellent Playing! This is one of my favorite VH songs. Well done! Thanks for sharing.

[jrakarl]

Awesome playing . . . . well worth viewing a few times :-))

[strangebump]

im begging you to do a lesson for the solo, you dont have to explain it. just please show it slowly on camera plzplzplz i need to learn it please

[satchbooggy]

@strangebump dude i have no clue how to play any of that solo. i forgot 90% of it about 1 week after i recorded it. id have to relearn the whole thing haha

[herschel066]

Damn,dude your bold!Givem hell

[MikeRetireIT]

...this dude is very, very good but besides writing the song, eddie van halen played it clear through with just one guitar (Kramer) while smoking a cigarette

[LooseFit88]

That was fucking awesome man!

[ElTorente]

Good jobe dude, you really nailed it. one of my favorite solos, underatted song.

[thalis1451]

i thinked that this solo was impossible !! great

[idigcars]

[LeopardJoy]

[sabaleroamuerte92]

[waliuxD]

Nice guitars and great playing

[Ireneket]

brilliant, actually my personal favourite

[GeekaristOne]

What's the pink guitar?

[satchbooggy]

@GeekaristOne jackson

[codyjt5150]

What's the tuning of the pink guitar, and what's the tuning of the red guitar during the solo?

[satchbooggy]

@codyjt5150 DADACD  and then standard

[codyjt5150]

@satchbooggy thanks :D

[bamafreak221]

what is the tuning?

[gregfarleyeverst69]

can you play the intro to mean street. you are a bad ass keep rocking.

[snipeshot7194]

very well done!!!

[darioEVH]

Sei grande amico mio!! :D

[WillsEasyGuitar]

well done. that git is bad ass.

[Smartskaft2]

Is the guitar tuned into standard tuning for this one, or in an open chord? (I've seen both on the internet)

[vhfan728]

EXCELLENT WORK DUDE!

[kblanchette8868]

very nice .great job

[marianogonzalez89]

Excelent

[durunia]

really nice dude =D

[frankenstrat25]

i like how everything has a shade of blue besides the flourescent jackson

[anusjuice69]

Damn bro that was sick

[Luckums135]

DUDE! Ur amazing!

[knarfluna]

YEP, U ROCK!

[ElvisonTour1972]

To see you do that is so awesome. First guitar solo i agree on. Cool

[vbfl920]

AWESOME! Cool that you are covering one of their obscure songs.

Have you ever covered "Girl Gone Bad"?

One of my fav tracks on this record.

[GuitarVato96]

is the solo in standard tuning

[frankenstrat25]

whenever i listen to this song i think im chillin in hawaii

[scottrap]

How do you like your JS1200? I'm probably getting one soon. Good to know you can achieve a pretty good VH tone with that guitar. Do you still have the

Dimarzio Fred in the bridge?

[droppinplates84]

fucking solid man...keep the vids commin...Danny Columbus, OH

[jklinecarguy]

Awesome Satch. You ever get requests for White Lion's Little Fighter ?

[satchbooggy]

i get requests all the time but i cant get to them due to time. Im focused on the band stuff etc .

[twolf422]

Liked how you transitioned between the two guitars.

[satchbooggy]

had to....the song is in 2 VERY different tunings haha

[duivesteyn]

@satchbooggy couldn't you just have transposed the solo to the tuning of the pink guitar?

[Canon60d]

Top Jimmy ftw

[dinsboy]

A fine job my man. Great song, beautifullly played.

[frankenstrat25]

satch i know what stuff you should do CHICKENFOOT have u ever thought of that i just did i never thought about until i thought sammy hagar

[timbowabo]

that was the highlight of my day ... thanks!

[RdRacerZ28]

Nice work... Drop Dead Legs, Top Jimmy, and I'll Wait were underrated back in the day.

[frankenstrat25]

actually ill wait was one of their hits for 1984 i dont like it and i love all VH

[revf89]

@RdRacerZ28 and not just from 1984, another ones were underrated too, like for example, Driver Down (Little Guitars, Dancing in the Street, etc). Im not considering Sammy Hangar's era, which has many nice themes... :-(

[IMapb]

I love this song so much! I don't know why it wasn't popular! And you are pretty much perfect :)

[LeopardJoy]

Top Jimmy seemed like a good wake up Saturday morning song, so I came on over for a listen! Such a good one, Satch! How's tricks, my friend? lol When will we have the pleasure of seeing the new guitar you've added to your harem? :) soon, I hope (taps foot and checks watch)

Your Cali friend,

Joy

[satchbooggy]

I had 1984 on in my car this morning going to the bank. I played drop dead legs a few times and top jimmy too lol.

Yeah Skye is a real looker. And she plays like a champ. A nice addition....wonder who named her? haha

[scittball]

i've seen alot of your vids and i now pronounce you SATCHENSTEIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Eddie would be proud.

[TachoSJ]

that was fucking sick!

[BlackWolfgang70]

Really Great ! I never saw this van halen song played live from some one ! how did you tune the guitar ? 5 stars by the way !

[WHY636]

hells yes most under rated song eva

[santorostone]

whoah !! awesome playing satchboogy, my favorite song from the 1984 album along with hot for teacher, damn i wish i could play that way.... You should also call yourself eddie frankenstrat from now on. rock on!

[glennwith2nns]

technically good, but the guitar is a touch out of tune...

[fickle20]

wow man, you are great ! what kind of guitar is the pink one ? thats neat !

[satchbooggy]

jackson

[beardonkey9]

Brian is this you!!!!!!!!!!

SPH

[JoeNJ1]

Awesome gtrs and cool switch 4 the solo;

[makkspell]

Unf'ing believable!!!  If I had dentures they'd a fell on the floor .. that was so f'ing radical I can't even believe what I'm seeing. Can't decide to practice or give up haha. U kick it out of the park ever time my VH brutha!!

[adstanra]

wow, great playing.

[jamminwithvanhalen]

Smoookin man. I got allot to learn. I do't have an ear as good as you but its all good fun. I'll keep workin.

[crazygoji]

Funny, this was posted a day after I discovered this song.

Awesome.

[juampy69]

Hey dude, here in Spain we are a legion of Van Halen maniacs scattered across the country and we chose you as member of honorrrr,, hahahaha, you are a killer, thanks for posting, Greetings from Spain.

[satchbooggy]

thank you sir, from one legion to the next.... all my covers are meant to go out to VH fans all over the globe...rock on !!!!!!!

[IamTheRedneck]

[satchbooggy]

jackson strat, ibanez satriani for the solo

[IamTheRedneck]

shes a beauty..

[CJCRaCK]

theres no way you are playing those opening harmonics that good lol

good job van halen is my favorite band!

[monico1964]

Man! That is incredible playing. Where can I get these backing tracks? I have several tracks with vocals if you would like to swap. Keep posting these as I really think it inspires us to practice more and to appreciate others incredible talents. Peavey Wolfgang

[saa5mtp]

I like the following in ascending order:

-your shirt (1990 vintage?)

-your pink guitar (a Charvel?)

-your playing, it's great.

Thanks for posting!

[satchbooggy]

thanks dude! the shirt was handmade by my bro. the guitar is a 1986 jackson, and my playing...its usually iffy haha

[deadaim713]

Incredible.

999999/5

You make EVH look bad.

[satchbooggy]

hes still my guitar idol. i know what hes still very capable of haha

[jimbapt]

Satch, I've been playing in bands since 1985, with 100's of guitarists and none have been your equal. Any band would be lucky to have you. It is a shame that so much talent is spent sitting in a crane.

[Lemke68]

thats crazy good job. i didn't know the intro was in a different tuning

[chris14bylow]

10 stars * * * * * * * * * *

[satchbooggy]

[bassguitarmethod]

Great song! Great play!

[rickg156]

[MrKj3ll]

[satchbooggy]

[MrKj3ll]

[jsatchg3]

awesome job on this one...

even your "loose" takes are excellent!

oh, and love the ending w/ the no-whammy-bar/

metal sign.

:)

[Musicmancometh5150]

Another cover you don't really see on youtube! One word, AMAZING! Love the part at the end, "no whammy bar dummy"! Kick ass job man! 5*

[ohpoepoe]

lmfao ive done the same thing.. about the whammy bar at the end lol i always feel like such an idiot and it makes me laugh. so used to grabbing it =p

great cover though man.. this one kills me, its one of the few dave songs i cant get down lol youre right, it is a huge pain in the ass.

[mnc51]

Great song which plays homage to the great Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin.

[izable]

cool post..I never knew the whole song(rhythym guitar) was in open E. Now maybe the tab will make since. haha

[Weygandt2112]

Bad ass again! Sweet color on the guitar.

[metalmarkholland]

Hi Satch, have some great days my man,

Sharkie

[satchbooggy]

you too sharkie

[ice9001]

Greatplaying man I could never be bothered to tune a guitar to this its too much hasle with floyd rose lol but its agreat tune and you did it justice.

[satchbooggy]

all my guitars have floyds...ive kinda figured them out (after 20 yrs) haha

[ice9001]

I have been playing 20 years aswell so I guess I am just too lazy lol . After a few early experience I decided to leave them well alone If I so much look at a floyd rose It goes outta tune . Tuning it after a string change is the about all I have figured out haha .

[ten8goa]

That was cool how that pink guitar changed shape and color

[satchbooggy]

magic man lol

[vhalen101]

that was great man!  One song you never see anyone doing....great job.

[satchbooggy]

i like the obscure songs the best :)

[mnc51]

There are no "obscure" Van Halen songs.....they all kick ass and hold their own.

[MonsterZeroo]

Very cool CHEERS!

Just a quick note on the guitar solo..

Right after the harmonic Ed uses a Delay set the very same way as in Cathedral for the next note only.

Man your really nailing these VH tunes!

[wcwhitner]

Satriani is not that bad Satch I've seen you do it. I am trying to get a copy of Sony vegas Platinum Pro so we can do some more collabing, I will let you guys know, PDX has one of them, and maybe we can get together on it and make it work better for us!

[satchbooggy]

[prboyd]

That looked damn hard! Top work satch.

[satchbooggy]

thanks for the view bro! the thing about ed is the solos are mostly short but all the shit he crams into them is enough to make me smash my guitar to pieces. the way he mixes things up is always challenging.

[6StringMoFo]

fucking great man, 1984 is what got me into VH, hah I was 11 :) Great job

[satchbooggy]

yo MOFO! WTF is up man? you wrapped your hands around one of your many JS's yet?? haha
