EVH Van Halen "On Fire"

[wimpyliberalbuster32]

For everyone saying he's off time, the actual song off the album clocks in at 3:00 exactly. This vid is 3:04, but minus the time it takes him to sit down and get set up, I'd say he's pretty darn close. Besides, it's hard to play what he's playing all by himself without any kind of backing track. Watch his Sinners Swing vid, he's got a track on that and he's dead on. Besides, whats important is his playing, and dude, let me say, you rock!! I've subbed.

[Guitarwannabee]

@wimpyliberalbuster32 Hey thanks man!!!!!!!!!! ......GW

[2fulltilt]

[Guitarwannabee]

[zivimozdravo]

[zivimozdravo]

How much did you pay for it?

[Halen1971]

You're WAY off beat pal. Not even close.

[Guitarwannabee]

yeah, no shit pal!!!! where's your vids?

[richga]

Good Stuff Man....one my fave VH tunes...your tone is very close to Ed's !

[Guitarwannabee]

Thank you.............Checkout my vids LITTLE DREAMER & SINNERS SWING

[BigTroubles]

nice squeal at the 2:00 min mark!

I like the way you changed it up. Kinda makes it more yours...(in a small way, but still) lol

[ether9]

Excellent! Great playing, great sound - my only critique is you turn time around quite a bit.

[thenamesfrancisco]

dude i like your vh covers the best cuz you dont use a backing track either. I think when people play the song with a backing track they hide their mistakes behind the track. check out my covers!

[elmarciano18]

yyyyeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhh ,\../

[taddz420]

what is the purple pedal ur stepping on? and for the solo what is that as well?

[Guitarwannabee]

Boss Flanger

[taddz420]

thanks

[Guitarwannabee]

Solo is with a MXR Phase 90

[taddz420]

thanks

[Guitarchordhelper]

would recommend the wolfgang to a 13 year old guitarist who loves van halen and has a homemade evh vh1 guitar like yours?

[Guitarwannabee]

Wolfie always

[DubRite]

That would be pretty sick.

[DubRite]

Ha, I didn't even realize I said the same thing I said to both of you lol.

[pantypowered]

Nice man, good job. I aspire to this song in my playing ability.

[DannyVanHalen118]

where did u get the tabs?

[Guitarwannabee]

Learned it by ear

[fromage777]

awesome tone and playing man. 1:59 was awesome.

[Guitarwannabee]

ThaNKs... checkout my newest vid LITTLE DREAMER

[DubRite]

Man, it feels like its been so long since your latest vid man... That was like the day I went to the Van Halen concert or something back in early May. What's coming up next?

[Guitarwannabee]

I haven't [played in months, Soon I'll get started again MaYBE I'll do somebody get me a doctor

[DubRite]

That would be sick

[dabbadeaner]

pretty killer tone dudmon! you patch direct to the computer or do you mic up??? way fun assed song to play!

[Guitarwannabee]

Thanks man... I played stright through the amp, my 5 megapixel sony cam did the recording

[tastreetman]

Two words: A-mazing.

[strat002]

you nailed the song, but you need to get a stronger flanger

[Guitarwannabee]

Thank you, I got the new EVH Flanger, This vid I used the Boss Flange, Checkout my New Vid little Dreamer

[italianstallion421]

dead on. and sisk harmonics

[jamitt]

Not bad, but the solo is not quite right.

[Guitarwannabee]

Yes I know, I have it down pat now, My my Little dreamer vid

[kyledawg92]

I wish you lived in my neighborhood. That way I'll have some good live music to listen to, and then you could teach me to play like that :D lol.

[JGBEK]

great playing

does the 5150 have an effects loop or do you just run it through the main cable

im gonna get your same setup except with a mesa cab and an mxr evh flange cant wait

[Guitarwannabee]

I run the digital stuff through the loop only

[JGBEK]

wat do you mean by digital stuff

[Guitarwannabee]

Just my delay & lexicon

[JGBEK]

oh thanks

[TheMetalHead66]

Awesome. Nice replica of Eddie's stratocaster in the back.

[robinstl70]

I'm pretty sure he played a Kramer Striker not a Strat

[EVHMorello911]

he didnt play a kramer until almost '84, the first strat u see is homemade with gibson pick ups and a fender strat shape

[robinstl70]

in other words, not a strat

[texasheatwave93]

the first one was actually a charvel/boogie body that eddie bought for $50 and a strat neck. he used a gibson pickup fused together with something else.

[someweirdkid95]

he played a kramer pacer and a charvel.

[logeybear5150]

and it wasnt a striker

[huhjustin]

You rock man, keep them fingers in cold water, you just about set them on fire!

[ArtanisRegnis]

EXCELLENT!!!! Who are these other losers posting here, anyway?

You totally kicked it. I dug it! Thanks!

[Guitarwannabee]

Thanks man

[EqualEVH]

you have a rythmic problem.

[woodsiechris]

Damn impressive dude. From an 29 year EVH fan I salute you!

[Guitarwannabee]

thank you man...

[BluegrassRules1973]

Hey when are one of you guys gonna do an "outta love" cover? By the way you rock man on all of your VH covers!

[Guitarwannabee]

soon man

[moodymagpie]

that as an exact reproduction well done

[pearldrummer1]

Yes I must say you are no best than a person who can play three notes if you can't play in time. Thats the first thing you should have learned.

TERRIBLE!

[Guitarwannabee]

hahahah. Thanks you

[rrguitar1]

nice evh tribute there dude. one thing if i may.. all of your playing is always out of time. Get a metronome dude !!! your timming is always off !!!

[Guitarwannabee]

Yes I know

[rrguitar1]

But still, you got it going on there !!!!

[hendrixistheking]

metronome plz!!

[PDXguitarlegend]

Hey dude, just posted a video response to this... thanx for the inspiring vid's!

[ohpoepoe]

1:58 i love that lol awesome playing

[kenwen43]

poor white stool,i mean the chair

[jfhudak]

Dude,

Playing is good. But, PLEASE kill some of that damn delay and reverb. The effects are killing your tone. Sounds like you're in a cave.

Other than than, nice job! ;)

[Guitarwannabee]

hardley any verb on man, its the same on all my vids, if there were music behind it, it would sound fine

[tokaicarl]

great tribute playing mate, but i wish you 'd put some fucking shoes on--------

[Guitarwannabee]

lol

[VideoOdyssey]

Awesome!!You're on fire dude!Rock on!

[PDXguitarlegend]

Do you mind sharing exactly where you are playing the harmonics at :21-24?

[dandcrazy21872]

wat pedals do u use?

[XSoundRecords1]

Not BAD I HEARD AND WORK WITH BETTER.KEEP TRYIN.....

[ro551982]

sweet mate your a legend , wish i could get hold of a left handed wolfgang

[Guitarwannabee]

Peavey Wolfgang on Ebay

[jcnhwildcat]

Dude, you are F'N amazing!!! I've heard a lot of good players try to play EVH, but none as good as you. If I close my eyes, it's what I imagine I would hear coming from the 5150 studio...

[Guitarwannabee]

wowman!! Thanks..... checkout my other vids, I just did Sinners swing

[JesterNightbreed]

You just made insomnia worth my time..

[vhjunkie]

i really hope some day Eddie would reward you with some time to play with him one on one u deserve it so much rock on. !!!!

[Guitarwannabee]

WOW! Thank you, Thats a Dream that will be hard to fullfill

[crwenk]

you are the man ;)

[MrkCmblz]

your that one dude! i watched some of your videos on my cousin's computer a year ago....i finall found you!!! nice work~!!

[Guitarwannabee]

hey thanks man, Check out my other vids, let me know if you like...

[MrkCmblz]

i like your cover of runnin' with the devil

[Guitarwannabee]

Thank you

[Coaldoggie]

Yeah, I've seen many of your videos before.

Great work! You really nailed that song.

Man... I want to play like that someday.

[Guitarwannabee]

Thank you...............

[imustom]

Try playing the verses in open position using the open G string and I think you will find it sounds more like the original. Also,

in the solo the middle line in each phase, that is the notes on the D string are (mostly) picked not hammered onto. It's very similar to the first solo from I'm the one. Just one more thing I thing he uses his fingers with his pick to pluck the strings during the chorus. Rock On Dude

[untitledjakeband]

whats the setting for the flanger?

[Guitarwannabee]

I got the new EVH Flanger now, I don't remember the Boss settings

[Lesliportia]

Wow, cool

[congo57]

how can i get your cd can you put your email on screen

you sound great i hope to play as good as you some day

thanks for the videos

[jake5590]

A little off beat, it sounds great though

[Maximus4200]

Sweet tone and great performance! Love that stuff! Van Halen is my guitar god too! Great work!

[Guitarwannabee]

Thank you...

[wtfievh]

I cannot stand when someone takes the time to post a video and them some idiot has to go and critique the performance. Enjoy this stuff, people! Keep up the great work, brother.

[sangohan42]

Man you are awesome ^^

I'm french and perhaps a day i could play a song like this (I play for ten months so ...)

[danfraserVH]

man i just love that song! that riff is total bad ass and you do a perfect job of reminding us all just how great he was and still is!

[Guitarwannabee]

Thank you so much

[record06]

Timing is off, but it is apparent that you have talent and some good equipment.

[Guitarwannabee]

Thank you

[EddieMaiden82]

Play atomic Punk. That's awesome. You have just about every song on the first cd in here, why not AP?

[Guitarwannabee]

Thanks man, I'll get there, DOA is next

[kyledawg92]

Nice

On Fire is one of my favorites from Van Halen. Most of what you played didn't sound EXACT but I'm sure a lot of what Eddie plays is studio edited.

[sbaapba]

Great tone!!!!

You need to learn the riffs a little better

but right on!

[Orion716]

Dude!! Would like to know how to get your "brown" sound??

[malvarez1991]

omfg.... thats crazy... the pinch harmonics murdered my ears... keep it up

[Guitarwannabee]

LOL hahahah

[Pentatonic12345]

nice. also i see a fair few boss pedals there

rock on !!!!

[Spoo2]

you should use that white charvelle... unless playing it will damage it =l... HOW ARE YOU AS GOOD AS EDDIE! =0

[Guitarwannabee]

Thank you, I'm playin Ed 22 years, I use the charvel in my EVH instructional DVD

[upbeatlki]

real nice Im 46 live in ARGENTINA now and anjoying your playing keep it up your fiend OSCAR

[Theo80126]

GOD DAMN. Fine work. Keep rockin'

[ledtom]

The 1:33 riff is wrong.

[Guitarwannabee]

Thank you

[MikeyD5150]

at 1:10 slip a delay into it to give the slapback effect Ed uses in the original...other than that...nice work!!!

[pickersparadise]

incredible I don't care what you say.the only suggestion i have is I'd like a clearer view.keep em coming

[crudbud]

Whoa, I have to compliment you on the part at 1:58. Pinch harmonic. Right on the money.

[rkonbon]

rhythm gets off in a few places, but not bad otherwise

[Guitarwannabee]

Thanx, Not easy while playing along with song in your head

[rkonbon]

haha, yeah i know the feeling. ive kinda taught myself tho so its a little better. still good tho

[diverdownup5150noho]

perfected tone and playing

[Guitarman777]

Nice job Man, Is that a 515oII Is it a stock amp?

Sounds pretty close EVH Tone

[benkenobi1990]

i don't know what made you think that was rough, but i can tell you this that this is the best home guitar video i have ever seen!!!!! awesome work.

[dfulwilder]

..what a letdown. I brought this video up because I thought you were going to light a guitar on fire. ;-)

J/K...dude, your chops are awesome! In the process of relearning after a 5 year break, and using some of your stuff as a reference. Keep it up brother! :-)

[Guitarwannabee]

Thanks again, Go ahead Glad to a help, check out my other vids

[porkfatadobo]

nice work!..i still have to try that song. i like that black and white replica too...i'm in the process of building one myself. :)

[flyingV1043]

man. id love to see you do better than this caus this was amazing. u really managed to sound alot like evh How do you do the part at 1:58. Pinch harmonic on the second fret of the g string nd then whammy bar?
