Van Halen: Runnin' with the Devil Solo

[h4ckb0x7]

"If you're playing live and you're standing up and you're going from there to there, you better be pretty GOD DAMN accurate!!" - DougFCKNSteele

I love the way you teach man keep it up. I also think it's great that you throw in the MEN version then the CHILDREN version. Sometimes I've got the song down except for one small part and it's just easier to watch someone play it and go, "Oh I'm fucking retarded that's how it goes." Instead of sifting through all the talking people do in most tutorials

[DougFCKNSteele]

@h4ckb0x7 I chop out lots of my unnecessary chatter.

[blak1lyte]

kiddn! saw how you get the tone. line6 stuff can get many guitarists' tones; u just have to play with it. what many up n comers dont realize, as you so stated, the REAL 'sound' comes from his hands (technique, style,).example of that is how he holds his pic. equip:i have 3 elec, 2 acous, 1 bass & bass amp, behringer 75w modeln amp, main amp line6 spider iv 150 out to 2 cabs-- a peavy slant w/4 bugera's, other cab is a rebuilt p.a. cab with a monster 15" 400w black widow and a shure horn....

[blak1lyte]

i think i am starting to fucking hate you!! LOL!! how do you have so much FRICKN GEAR!!!!!!!

[DougFCKNSteele]

@blak1lyte Wha? I have 4 guitars, one amp, one pedalboard, one cab, and that's it!! I should have triple that!!

[gtrrobster]

gotta say the 4 comments or so below from you and sickimixx have me laughing so hard that wife insists on me using ear buds....and she is threatening to have me commmited...which might be a good idea.....hey, beats working, yeah?

[DougFCKNSteele]

@gtrrobster People are just dicks. In real life I'd slap his fucking face, ha ha.

[mgein]

[DougFCKNSteele]

[Gooberhead1956]

[Gooberhead1956]

Nice lesson.....I sub to your platinum membership......enough exercises to last the rest of my life......nice work

[DougFCKNSteele]

@Gooberhead1956 try Martin Goulding's website as well. Tons of really kick ass shit there as well. I fucking love that guy.

[MikkiSixx]

wrong

[DougFCKNSteele]

@MikkiSixx So!! E tengo tuttavia prendere il traffico!! Ringraziarla per guardare i miei video. Guarderei il vostro, ma lei non qualsiasi ha.

[MikkiSixx]

@DougFCKNSteele I don't have any video, so? do I have to upload some to put a comment?? if you don't want bad comments don't put your video on the net.

[DougFCKNSteele]

@MikkiSixx The notes are right, the position is not where Ed did it. I wish i could ban you from watching my videos. You seem like a real asshole. But the good news is, I have bloke/delete, which means you are now dead to me, thank god.

[mrblackassasin1]

Plus where did u get the guitar

[DougFCKNSteele]

@mrblackassasin1 Friend made it for me.

[mrblackassasin1]

WTF no pickups

[DougFCKNSteele]

@mrblackassasin1 They're in there, right hand's covering it.

[StuckInWahkiakum]

No Pickups on this guitar??? What type is it???

[DougFCKNSteele]

@StuckInWahkiakum dmiarzio 59, any med output pick up will do.

[Caparison81]

hey bro what about working for Lick Library. I Think you would do your job very easy and fast. Your DVD's would sell very fast ;)

[DougFCKNSteele]

@Caparison81 I think Andy James has it covered.

[Caparison81]

@DougFCKNSteele

No Bro he doesn't :(

[PoundcakePlaysMW2]

I too go for the G string 9 times out of 10 Doug. *cough*

[DougFCKNSteele]

@PoundcakePlaysMW2 Okay.

[nhicorexskull]

Nice Guitar , Nice Song , Nice T-Shirt , THIS VIDEO ROCK XD lml

[DougFCKNSteele]

@nhicorexskull Ha ha, cool!!

[Behemoth941]

Nice job man..nice guitar,sweeps and shirt.

[DougFCKNSteele]

@Behemoth941 Cheers dude.

[tpanczak]

ohh mann, thank you soo much, this video is awesome.

[DougFCKNSteele]

@tpanczak I played it in the wrong area, eddie does it at 14th fret with b, g, and d strings. Whoops!!

[tpanczak]

@DougFCKNSteele yeahh, i realized that, then i just took what you taught me and moved it to that position. thankss.

[mikimix96]

like your kiss shirt :D

[Lilrocker5150]

i used to play it like that

[MrPissed1]

Great lesson Doug ! but i play the solo way different lol much easier my way < barred d,b,e strings ???  im prob wrong . and slightly muted on the sweep ? however i surely was wrong with the main riff , could nt get it right thanks for the tip you sound great

[Lilrocker5150]

thats how i play it

[Lukemanmike]

Hi Doug, has anyone said that you have a great vibrato ?

Good Job !

Mike

[DougFCKNSteele]

George Lynch digs it.

[Cedrictheheadric]

Your A GReat teacher doug the notes are executed perfectly just not played in the position that ed plays it in but of couse it sounds the same yah anyways good job your other vids have helped like the little dreamer solo one

[DougFCKNSteele]

Yeah, after i did the vid i saw some footage of ed doing it up high..I HATE barring/rolling one finger bullshit..But Ed's the man, and I is not, ha ha..

[wencad12]

one pickup dude? what make?

[DougFCKNSteele]

dimarzio 59.

[Goldadon]

nice lesson thank you but your Tshirt is even better :P KISS rocks!

[DougFCKNSteele]

Hmm, I'd like to think Kiss rocked.

[bcrichboy06]

is dsi ur x3 live on dis. wat u runnin it through. ur tones stunning?

[DougFCKNSteele]

yes, x3 live into 12 watt peavey bandit.

[BFahz]

Man I really like your singing tone... good job. Check my site - I play the solo in a different position and its (to me) easier...

[kesx]

Nice job son.

[DougFCKNSteele]

Thanks dad. I have no idea why the quality has gone to shit, but I'm working on it, I may even repost if I can find out what the fuck is wrong..

[kesx]

I have no complaints about the quality its good for me.

[DougFCKNSteele]

I have complaints, I'm fixing that shit now.

[Cry4her]

That sweep! 4 or 3 string sweep? is the tone on the D string in that sweep? or is just a 3 string sweep?

[DougFCKNSteele]

which part?

[Cry4her]

The very first lick you play in this video. It looks like you do a sweep on 3 or 4 strings when looking at your fingers...but sounds like there are only notes from the E string.

[DougFCKNSteele]

I probably gloss over the small sweep, I guess.

[bernhardtsen74]

its ok to swear when practicing!

I think I messed up the Floyd Rose on my Ibanez rg350dx, I keep ruining the high e string when bending!

I use 009. to 048!

[Livetokill123456]

2:35 ish "You did it wrong" awesome :P

[caraibiguitar]

HELL YEAH!!!!  6 stars for you man! ... ooops
