also make sure your pickup is as close to the strings as possible without touching.
-
intonation might be off (have a professional look at it). If not, you need to turn the distortion or gain up enough that the tapped harmonic registers.

My tapped harmonics don't work. And tips? They sound like I just picked a normal fret.

O_o Woooww...

@MetalRiffAcademy I agree 100%. I grow tired of hearing people go on and on about his soloing only, though. I see him as the most extraordinary rhythm guitarist. Notable songs that come to mind are, 5150, Top Jimmy, Me Wise Magic, Without You (yes, it's Van Halen III, but the playing in that song is fantastic) I could go on and on. Thanks for the video! Really great stuff!

Thank you so much for sending me the link to this. when i first saw the message, i thought that it was just gonna be another advertisement, but when i saw the video, i realized you were legit, and not some company trying to make money. thank you so much. not only have these techniques helped me learn this song, but they've also helped me with writing my own. and they also seem to have helped me type this faster. thank you again :)

Great "how To Play Intro To "Mean Street. Can't wait till I can learn this intro! Along with Van Halen's new CD comes a DVD of them playing three of VH's best tunes all on acoustic guitars and Alex on Bongos. Awesome. A must see!! This guy makes a great presentation on playing VH songs.

@poopenschnagger A friend of mine made it. It took him a year and a half in his spare time. But only cost him about $600 in parts. \m/
