3 Adrian Vandenberg Licks From 1990

[@1dswylde]

I saw Vandenberg open for Ozzy and then a few years later I met Adrian with Whitesnake and hung out with him and the band for two nights, in Little Rock and in Memphis the following night. My brother had one of the first issues of the Peavey Vandenberg guitar 😎🎸

[@am3986]

Hey Dave, thanks for the Manic Eden tip... amazing band! Wow! How is it possible no one ever heard that album!!!

[@griff4366]

Thank you for another great lesson.. Adrian is criminally underrated.

[@davidsummerville351]

Very cool licks! Love the sound of that guitar. The classical flavor of his playing is outstanding

[@MikeCindyWhite]

Awesome!! Another great lesson, Thanks as always Dave 🎸🎸👍

[@peterpinnpalermo6887]

Hello LNL! I really dig your lessons. Adrian is one of my all time favorites. The Alibi album Rules! I also enjoyed the Peter Frampton lesson. You choose all the cool licks.

I just had to check on the old google engine, I did see A.V at the Monsters of Rock 1990. He was phenomenal at that gig, unfortunately that was the only time I saw the man, such sustain and soulful playing

[@stevenblakeakahashburns]

And would like to add as a side note, I did meet the quire boys, Steven Tyler Tom Hamilton and Jimmy page within about 2 minutes. One of the best 2 minutes of my life Just don’t tell the wife 😀

[@bustercrack788]

The image of that guitar alone is enough to make me want to play . Great stuff DB 👍🇬🇧

[@P3t3rPizzarelli]

A Scott Henderson lesson is on the cards surely

[@MatthiasLissner]

Nice, really great lesson (again) - thanks, David!

[@mr.anderson70]

His rhythm playing is also very good. He would often use his pinky to hit the root on the E string.

[@sergebasque8460]

Great touch and licks superb.

[@Yonder88]

I have that first Vandenberg LP down in my basement, but honestly haven't listened to it in like 30 (40?) years. Time to dig it out. :-)

[@normanwhaley3024]

Great solo on that Burning heart song

[@Beachbum4ever]

Great 3 for. I wore the first Vandenberg cassette out back in the day! Good stuff.

[@julianschulz1620]

Who could forget a black eyed David Coverdale, sweating & battered, final song of the final tour, looking across the stage in triumph: Adrian...Adrian! ADRIANNNNN!!!!!!

[@LiveMusicCT]

Always great stuff!

[@barryhaynes103]

I saw AV with Whitesnake when Steve Vai was in the band ... it was a great show ... I’m going to keep asking for a Kerry Livgren three for all ... love the channel

[@joefrederick5494]

I had a Gen 1 Vandenberg back in 1988. I remember reading (probably Hit Parade) that one of Vivian’s grips after leaving WS was that Adja was starting to steel his licks. If you listen to the last two licks, you can kinda hear it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@normanwhaley3024]

Burning heart was a awesome song.............Still waiting for chord master Johnny Marr episode............

[@Voytek777]

The 2nd lick is killer 🤘😀🤘🎸❤️

[@l6srob990]

He also has a new cd out great lesson as always

[@brandonlinhart6925]

Periphery’s got some sick stuff on their P3 and PIV Albums. Would be cool to have it analyzed and broken down by the man DB

[@lynnhathaway1247]

Could you put some Robert Cray licks in the queue for a future video? Love your lessons!

[@EzequielVarg]

Muy llamativa tu guitarra PRS.🌠🎸 Vandemberg tiene un equilibrio entre lo clásico y el rock, más allá de sus licks con velocidad , lo considero melódico,. Saludos a la distancia. 😁🌠🎸

[@Greenballed]

Cool stuff.

[@Scottocaster6668]

Doug Aldrich's live white snake solo? While we're all in a Whitesnake mood! Thanks B 🐓!

[@curtpozzi5527]

Can you do a segment on Adrian's solo from "Welcome to the Club"? He does this heavy palm muted phrasing that not too many players do.

[@johnkilpatient1509]

Bought the debutbVandenberg when it came out. One of my favorite solos is on the song Welcome to the Club. It cover's a lot of techniques. 🖖

[@kanebowlin5123]

Slip of the tongue my favorite w.s album

[@atteljas]

Wasnt the case with Vai and Whitesnake that he made a contract that he would record all the guitars on the album. And that was the terms he would join the band. I read somewhere that most of the guitars were recorded by Vandenberg already. At the time it was told that Adrian had a hand injury. Either way he is a great player. Adrian that is.

[@georgevanderheijden4713]

Cool!! Dutch Power!!🎸🇾🇪

[@cymro6537]

Fun fact : Apart from being a great musician , Adrian Vandenberg is one of the tallest men in Rock - standing at 1.98 meters ( 6ft 6inches)

[@Scottocaster6668]

True, Tom Sholtz' too. (6'-5") Robbin was 6'-5" also. Good call! Oh, and Chris Holmes (6-5")

[@Mad_Axe_Man125]

didnt realize he was that tall.

[@cymro6537]

@@Scottocaster6668 The tallest of all was the late singer for Type O Negative. Peter Steele was a towering 6' 8"

[@Scottocaster6668]

@@cymro6537 Oh yeah, I forgot about him.

[@rutgerhoekstra1666]

Arjen Anthony Lucassen (dutch metal musician) is also round the 2 meters tall

[@darlenemcmillan5802]

Great video. Love the tone that you're getting. What are you using to get it?

[@Danieleilcane]

Manic Eden was a great band, I bought that cd's from japanese market 'cause it wasn't released here in Italy

[@peyotepete4903]

Last time I was this early I didn't have arthritis!

[@Ratso_DeLynch]

Hey man! first a Big THANK YOU from Niagara Falls Canada - I have burning questions ALL about your Les paul, I just got into the LP style guitar world and I REALLY *need your help* My *Les paul won't stay in tune* and I don't want to put thicker strings , my guitar has a decent spec to it and i like my guitars to play smooth/ easy with 9-46 i don't usually go up string gages from that. (Please read bellow🙏🏻)! * *How do you keep the damn thing in tune so well?* I have an unsung Canadian les paul I.e the godin LG same gibson short scale and it really is not holding tune despite a graptech tusq nut that it came with and schaller tulip style kluson tuners. Almost every time when I whack a big G chord or play a fast lick followed by a big bend it falls out. : - Right now I have 9-46 strings on it right now. so im wondering : - What can I do next ? - Do I have to swap out these pesky tulip tuners ? Yours seem to do the job, how ? - I like big behind the nut ( fake whammy bar !) bends famously done by John Sykes and mastered by Phil X too so tuning is really important.. - using like 12 gauge strings is not an option i play on my esp vintage plus HSS superstrat with 9-46 so jumping up so many string gaiges probably will feel crazy stiff and just uncomfortable to play. - do I need to just jump ship altogether and get 3 on 3 modern staggered locking tuners by schaller hipshot etc quality locking tuners and ditch the vintage ones if nothing else works ? *** I am new to the les paul game, have played superstrats since I started but the godin single cut LG caught my eye for price specs and looking unique in a cool way ( I think prs's are tacky looking and gibsons are too classic everyone has one and I wanted to try a different kind of single cut). * I really look forward to hearing some advice from you about the above ^ the Godin LG feels phenomenal of the damn thing would just stay in tune it would be my next main player. Until I figure out these tuning woes I've just been playing my strat. * Just looking for some clarity and I thought there was no one better to ask who is a bit more familiar in dialing in these beasts. Your big heavy and underrated riffs you play on it and candid videos of you sharing your secrets, playing style and lessons in general are a real treat - the les paul specifically yours looks like it plays in your wheel house 100% so I hope you can tell me all the ins and out about keeping it in tune. . Thanks in advance for any help and advice; stay safe keep rocking and giving us this amazing content my friend. All the best 🤘🏻🙏🏻 - Adam

[@austinfailz]

Didn't Ace do some chromatically moving open string pull off ideas in the 70s? Maybe around the 76-78 time frame?

[@frankdusoswa9583]

Great lesson! I think George Kooymans (Golden Earring) is next? :-)

[@vinfreeman1602]

🤟

[@chrxmatic2k]

Billy Corgan? Tons of live footage to pull from. Plz and thank you

[@patrickcarmona1001]

Never felt so connected over the web then l have been with other online instruction

[@monetedwards5673]

Great lesson as always, however the credit your giving Randy Rhonda should really be given to Ric Emmett of Triumph and the solo he does in Rock n Roll Machine a decade before Rhoads

[@am3986]

Would have loved to hear White 🐍 SOTT without Vai. I can't stand Vai's meowing on those great songs... I think the whole charade of Adrian being injured should be put to rest once and for all.
