And The Cradle Will Rock Guitar Lesson - Van Halen Guitar Lesson And The Cradle Will Rock

In this video I demonstrate how to play the song And The Cradle Will Rock bay Van Halen. This is the first track off of Van Halen's 3rd release Women And Children First. It sets the tone for the record by starting off with a sweeping keyboard riff layered with a huge flanger. The song has a loose party swagger that only Van Halen were able to produce live and in the studio. It has some interesting chord changes and modulations especially the changes under the first part of the guitar solo. Eddie's feel and playing really started to take shape on this record nodding at what was to come from Eddie on future records. I hope you enjoy the video.

I often wondered for year's how Eddie created that sound at the start of this tune. Now i know 😊. Good to see you back man.

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Yep! Just banging all the keys on a keyboard through a big ass flanger. Haha. Eddie.... who else??? 😎🎵🎵🎵🎵🤟🏻

[@TylerJohnstonGuitar]

“Have you seen junior’s grades?” Great tune, gonna have to sit down with my Kramer and learn this one!

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Have fun bro! Excellent tune and fun to jam on! 😎🎵🎵🎵

[@DeputyVanHalen5150]

Man Marty, you rock brother. You probably didn't need to hear that from me to know that though. 😂 C major triad tapping on the solo one of my favorite parts. This is an awesome tune. Thank you for the lesson. Hope that you have an excellent Independence Day weekend Marty. 😎🎸🇺🇸✝️

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Thanks! Man, I love Eddie's fee and approach in this solo. It's so cool how he approaches the notes and his inflection is all his own. Very cool. Have a great holiday weekend man!

Great lesson video, thanks for making this video!

[@christowing3816]

Marty I love you videos Man I'm just learning how to play guitar and I like the way you take the time to break it down slowly and you even write it down for us to see not too many instructional videos take the time to do that

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Thanks man! Best of luck to you and keep playing, it gets better and better. I really appreciate the support and it makes me happy to know the videos help folks out! 😎☮️

Another GOODER Marty LOL! Again……. In a language I totally understand! And……… A cowboy G! Totally chuckled at that LOL! Another great lesson !🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Thanks so much man! Glad you liked it!

[@christerrio8108]

I totally agree with you Marty 72 seasons is Metallica's best album since the black album. Great lesson

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

It's a banger album. I'm really loving the live videos they have been putting out too!

[@waynegram8907]

MARTY, try to make a video lesson about all the Van Halen songs that use Modulations and using the relative minor and relative major. I'm curious to know how EVH uses modulation and how he uses relative minor and relative major

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

That would be a good video. I see it common on his keyboard stuff. For example right now ... d minor then F major for chorus.

[@waynegram8907]

@@Ranch5150SkinWalker yes I always thought evh was a better keyboard player and should have added more keyboards in van Halen 1 and 2 album. Those keyboard parts should go over in a video lesson

[@reneotten7376]

Some claim the full song was done on an electric Wurlitzer piano.

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

I think it was. Other than the guitar overdubs

[@tanneryordan]

it’s not a claim, it’s truth. should be obvious to anyone with ears lol

[@reneotten7376]

@@tanneryordan so you hear the difference between a Wurlitzer and a Rhodes?

[@tanneryordan]

@@reneotten7376 there are pictures in the studio in early 1980, during sessions from Women and Children First, of the wurlitzer used. sorry i assumed that your wurlitzer comment was regarding if the rhythm track was guitar or wurlitzer, not rhodes-or-wurlitzer

[@AlbanA-w2w]

Muito bom, Marty.

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Thank you 🙏

[@rocktopuss9279]

That Gsus2 chord sounds motherfucking spot on! Righteous.

[@papablue3015]

I'll bet Eddie was stoned when he made that guitar! Dummy neck pickup switch in middle pickup position. He was probably laughing his ass off? Nice lesson! Thanks Marty 😊

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

You know man, he was just inexperienced and messing around with stuff and stumbled onto his discoveries like a mad scientist. Part genius. Part luck. Science experiments! 😎

[@papablue3015]

@@Ranch5150SkinWalker ya! He probably didn't smoke or drink? 🤭

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

@@papablue3015 who Eddie? 😂😂😂

[@josearalat]

Question: On that "I'm the one" "Jump" ascending run, what notes are he targeting? The chord tones underneath? So confused with Eddie's "scales."

[@marcossaladomartin4806]

Great

[@frettymcfretface73]

Good enough. Don’t thinks it’s too accurate on the notes of the solo tho.

[@rogerowens5669]

Yeah 🤘yah boy we'll have to agree to disagree 1&2 for there best work. I saw them in 77 at the Texas jam they blow all the head liners a way 👆💨haha big names B.S, zep,&more. With 20 + guitarist around all were trying to get eruption down 😢I just can't get my self to learn their stuff "here now pre shate 🤘

[@tanneryordan]

were you hallucinating also? because sabbath nor zep were at texxas jam 78…

[@InfinitySquared79]

I'm sorry, dude...your groove is completely wrong on the main riff. I almost can't even get past it.

[@johnmcmahonBXLA]

I don’t think so, pal
