  • EVH plays the verse riff by alternating the open A string muted with the A-dyad with a shuffle feel, so its really tricky.

  • @Rg1527 I put one up a while back... I'd be interested if you think it sounds close - I love me some VH

  • thanks man! i am in a glam band so this really helped !

  • Oh totally..I gotta re learn it though.

  • could you try do it though doug? theres noone on youtube who does it properly T_T

  • I play that song in a cover band, shoot me.

  • true true, its one hell of a wiggly little bend

  • I'm afraid!! You really gotta nail the minor 3rd bend, which is the very first note!! You have to pre bend, and if you fuck that up, it's all ova red rova..

  • doug you gotta do the outta love again solo, such a sick one!

  • Praise be to Allah!

  • oh big hands your the one

  • Cool, I'll drink to that, cheers.

  • Well, the good news, is there's only 7 scale shapes. Then there's modes, so that expands everything by another 7. And then there's God's favorite number, 7, and then there's years it took my to memorize all this shit, which was 7. So all in all, 3 months.

  • just wondering how long it took you to remember all the scales, i always hear you reference during playing and ive not really looked at scales as much and i know i need to start

  • I love how you actually use your pinky LOL... might sound silly but I see so many retarded guitarist that never use their pinky, and you even have big hands and still use it, it's retarded not to.
