I'm a left-handed guitar player I play with the strings upside down like Albert King I play a straight A minor and I go up to I hit the F and I hit the g and I go back to the D with an open G then I go back with the aid of the G with the c to the B and I go from the a to the D to the e and then I do the hokey pokey and I just turn it all around that sounds great

Hey Marty. Good to see you playing that Jackson soloist with that beautiful northern lights finish! EVH always has alot of intriguing details to his playing. That's what makes him the KING. I love fx too! Edward was a master at using effect 's One of my favorite songs to play because of it's simplicity. Great playing as well Marty. Thanks for teaching all the interesting nuance's of Ed's playing! And as always Thanks for sharing the love my brother 🙏

Not too bad, and I know these videos are tough to make. But I just had to kind of chime in a little. I know if you gave it another listen-or even slowed down parts to get it better idea-you would hear parts that are very different from how you’re playing them. And most probably would not know, until learning it themselves with more focus on all the little details. Not to be too picky, but I just wanted to shed some light on a few parts for people that really want to get all those little details just right. First of all, you have to tune at least a half step down, or to the album if you are ever going to play any early Van Halen- besides Hot for Teacher. Just takes a second, and it sounds very different in standard. Anytime Eddie goes back to that main intro, riff, in some form or another, there’s no slide on the A string to C, on the turnarounds where he triggers the flanger. Some are a quick palm mute on the open E… before the three note turnaround with a flanger and some pinch harmonics. But most of the time it’s a muffled G, E string third fret. So got to have your foot ready, on the Flanger, every three note turnaround throughout the whole song-if you really want to get it. Or if you want to run around a little more, and not be tied to the pedalboard, you could leave the phaser on a little and get a pretty similar effect. On that bridge with harmonics, just listen closely, slow down to 50% here on KZbin, to get the right patterns. He only uses a slight whammy on the third set of harmonics. Then with the solo, make sure you really got the B and E string tuned up well-together. A lot of you may know, Ed would detune the B string on songs where he does a lot of double stop on the G and B, like with runnin’ with the devil and others. You don’t wanna get too bogged down with all the different tempered tuning Edward do. But the B string, that’s a very easy adjustment, and very essential. And there’s not very much tremolo picking in the solo, just a few spots here and there. Although, Eddie does a little more live. But it’s much more subtle than you are playing here. And the last lick of the solo, down in the 17th position, it’s very different from what we see here. People can look online, or listen closely. And there’s also an open E ringing out throughout the lick. Much trickier lick than it might sound like at first. I didn’t listen after that. I’m being very picky, snd I’m one that loves to take the time, and has the time, to listen closely. I know most people probably don’t. Just wanted to add a little bit to this video. Thank you! 😝🤘🏻🎸🇺🇸

The intro is wrong. The first four notes are 0 2 1 2 on the A minor. On the second time thru, he made a mistake on the pattern of the F chord. Its 0 1 on the E string 1 1 on the B string and then the last 2 times its the same first pattern. When you do the G part the third note is G on the 6 string not the open higher G string. I've seen very few teach that mistake in the pattern the second time thru. He plays it the same every time live, so I assume it was a mistake but sounded cool so they left it.
@heyjarrod6 ай бұрын
Not sure what style of notation you have there. But that, 1, would /should be on the first fret B string.
@heyjarrod6 ай бұрын
Eddie never made any mistakes in the studio. That’s how he played it live in the studio-always changing and improvising. None of these songs were notated or charted out. They just played. Of all the great things he did on those albums, you think that was a ‘mistake?’ As for the last part, talking about the G or open G, I wasn’t clear on what you were referring to there.

Marty, your intro has one note wrong on the arpeggio, you have A=0 D=2 G=2 D=2 it should be A=0 D=2 B=1 G=2 try it that way along with the recording, it sounds right. Still just holding the Am chord.. Let me know what you think?

I hear it done both ways. Early VH may have done the minor thir(c) on the b string but when you hear him play it live especially Hagar era I hear him do it like I play. I think I've morphed it so many ways over the decades. Lol. Either way is good and gets the job done 😎🤟🏻

@@Ranch5150SkinWalker Yes you're right, that's a pretty good neck thru Jackson! At first I was a bit anxious about the country of origin but in fact the work they did on these guitars is quite excellent... The problem with the 2 type of finishing (gloss on body and satin on neck) is that there is a gap between them at the "heel joint" due to the thickness different of the two. You can clearly feel this difference in the thickness and it drove me mad😄 So I sanded this area to get rid of this ennoying feeling I had when I hit the upper frets, today this guitar is a little gem with an undeniable build quality and the Jackson comfort you can expect from their US guitars but for 3 times less!!

Killer Jackson you have there! You are playing this wrong from the very start. Even your tab on the upper left corner is wrong. The third note is on the first fret, not the second fret. Also, Eddie doesn’t slide into the c to b part where he kicks on the flanger. He hits the low E slightly palm muted and then goes c to b on the A string. I wondered why it didn't sound right when you played it, and that is why.
