RIP EVH ! Great video Cameron ! I learned a lot

[@edwardglyons]

Hey Cam. Awesome lesson! So much value in the first lick alone. It really payed off to rewatch your initial performance of the lick and zero in on all the nuances. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@MKRISING75]

Thanks for the lesson very much appreciated 🙏🤟🏻

[@Ears-m2r]

very polished very nice

[@richb6291]

Great video Cameron , love the sound too - really spot on . Is it just the Yamaha THR30 ??? Better representation than some using Fractual

[@CameronCooper]

This is just a Yamaha THR30II

Well done. Great camera work and great explanations! Thank you!

Awesome...... guitar too!

[@AD-ui2pz]

Me Wise Magic is so great- I love both the tunes with Dave they did for that greatest hits CD- Can't Get This Stuff No More too with EVH using a talkbox for the solo for the only time he ever used one I believe

[@donaldyoung9838]

Thanks Cameron Awesome Playing As Always You Make It Look So Easy You Would Definitely Be An Amazing Guitar Teacher It’s Too Bad Your Not In The US Thanks

[@lowkeystarlord9545]

Hey Cameron great video I really do like how you break it down so it’s easier for us will definitely be practicing these also I have a request can we get some more Steve vai stuff been learning some stuff from ur older vids and they were fantastic so please more🙏🏾

[@andresilvaguitarr]

Great job bro! 👊

[@s.mmusicsoundproduction763]

Each nd every licks are very helpful.. thank you.

[@aaronwiser7095]

Hey Cameron, what an amazing Eddie Van Halen guitarist u r man. I gotta know though, either u have extremely long fingers or ur frets r custom made closer 2 one another. Viewing u doing those super crazy EVH stretching licks like it's easy when it's not, has got 2 b the reason. I can also play Eruprion and many other EVH shreds, but so often after doing so, the inner part of my wrist with get an aching pain very similar 2 what's known as Carple tunnel. I may have misspelled it. Well Cameron, keep on shredding and I'll keep on watching😉👍🎸🎵🎶

[@nikkmorse]

Happy new year Cam....been a while, great to have you back 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼

[@jonathanong4538]

Veey accurate. Thanks a lot. Hope you can teach the solo of can't get this stuff no more

[@CameronCooper]

I taught some of it in this

[@ottoman666]

Nice one cam, hope you had a good Christmas and happy new year! 🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻

[@brycekeuris]

Great content bro!

[@JustAdude291]

Are those EVH guitars any good? Especially the Floyds on them? I've been seriously looking at a few but I haven't played any yet. Btw great playing and great showcase of licks

[@CameronCooper]

Yeah they're awesome!

[@davearonow65]

Hey Cameron, have you ever done the solo from Black and Blue? It is my favorite VH solo. It could come off as complete musical nonsense, the whole solo is Ed pretty much just making noise but it's Eddie Van Halen so, of course that "noise" is actually extremely musical, badass, HUGE, aggressive, beautiful, fun and all the other great adjectives you could throw at an EVH solo. To me, I just like to imagine Eddie mocking all other musicians by being better than them simply just by the very act of making noise.

[@CameronCooper]

Sorry to say it but never really been a fan of Black and Blue. Just learned whatever VH I liked over the years and moved on. :)

[@kingofmemes5017]

Great stuff as usual! Do you like white lion? Would be awesome to cover some of Vito Bratta's stuff, they're super under appreciated imo

[@CameronCooper]

I get asked about White Lion a lot. Vito was a great player but overall a lot of the 80s rock stuff doesn't really interest me anymore and hasn't for ages so it's unlikely I'll be sharing ideas like that unless it's absolutely exceptional

[@kingofmemes5017]

@@CameronCooper that's a shame, i love his playing but everyone gets burned out listening to the same genres eventually

Killer!

[@waynegram8907]

CAMERON, Try to make more videos like this about CC Deville scale runs, Vinnie Moore Neo Classical Licks, Tony Macalpine arpeggios and shred licks, Doug Aldrich shaking vibrato chords, Craig Goldy arpeggios and scale licks

[@CameronCooper]

You already sound like you know what you're doing to be fair.

@@CameronCooper try to make a Zakk Wylde licks lesson watch this guy to get the licks from kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZvFhISwjc5_mJY

[@CameronCooper]

Those licks have been taught online. Watch Andy James' Zakk Wylde lesson. He mentions it in the description of the video you linked.

[@ersancuruklu1]

Awesome lessons and your guitar sounds super hot! Do you use a microphone or line out from the Yamaha?

[@CameronCooper]

USB so I guess a line out aha

[@looking_33]

having major deja-vu here. feel like ive seen this video exactly before. great stuff though, don’t blame myself

[@CameronCooper]

I uploaded a similar lesson a couple of months back

[@evanmtcka]

Have you used the 5150 OD pedal on the THR30II? I put it on the clean channel you made on the other video and it sounds really nice to me

[@CameronCooper]

I've not... never needed the EVH overdrive since the THR30II sounds good on its own

[@Pewtooyou]

Great jamming.... I have no idea what any of those riffs are though.

[@CameronCooper]

I do say their names in the video

Like subscribe and share. 👍🏻

[@chuckhalen9543]

Cameron, a little late to the party on this video but, what equipment are you using for this? The tone is almost spot on! I remember the incredible VH tone you got out of your Yamaha THX from a few years ago. What is your go to these days?

[@CameronCooper]

This is the Yamaha THR30II here but I use the Blackstar AMPED 3 for everything these days.

[@chuckhalen9543]

@@CameronCooper That's great Cam. I sure appreciate you and thank you for replying so quickly. Have a great one bro. Look forward to more of your EVH lessons.

Yamaha THR30II and that's it. Tagged the amp in the video

Is there a specific way you set up a string action, pickup height neck reliëf?

[@CameronCooper]

Nope. So long as it doesn't buzz I'm happy.

[@AD-ui2pz]

is the front of the Wolfgang Special chlorine burst an arched top? like not just flat?- I want to order that guitar- its never in stock- Thank you! great video as always- you make your playing look effortless- you obviously practiced a ton!!!!

What gauge strings do you use on the striped series and Wolfgang?

09-42

[@rokovunic8229]

Hey Cameron,how does the neck compare between evh wolfgang special and charvel dk24 hh fr dark amber guitar?Are they the same shape and which one is thinner.

[@CameronCooper]

They're both totally different. Charvel feels far better to me. The Wolfgang has a tiny neck in every respect.

[@NEROYGeometry]

O think the great idea for the video is to show how to play very uncommon Eddie's solos , like aftershock or Amsterdam OR 5150 nobody on KZbin showed how to properly play this great solos ))

[@CameronCooper]

Watch the first video linked in description ;) A lot of people don't talk about those solos because they're easier to play than explain aha

[@NEROYGeometry]

@@CameronCooper yea ) but it's not the entire solos ) did u see anyone who played 5150 solo properly ? I don't )

[@CameronCooper]

There are loads of 5150 solo covers out there. It's very similar to a lot of Ed's solos.

[@JamesBrambor]

What is your string action ?

[@CameronCooper]

High enough for it to sound good and still be playable. It varies on every guitar I play

[@josefplager]

@@CameronCooper For me it‘s hard to play with a super low action can you relate to this?

[@CameronCooper]

@@josefplager Yes, definitely! If action is too low, it limits bending and makes the guitar sound buzzy in my experience. I prefer it higher

[@elliotttampa]

F Cam… ok, thoughts on Joe doing the tour w Sammy? Me, personally…. Absofuckinglutely!!!! It’s, Joe… he was painting when he got the call from Sammy for the announcement… However, been following you for … jeez, 5 years…. Cam, you’d be my 2nd… you really are amazing… and yeah, alternate you you, c’mon… Caleb from Nerd Halen…and Noe Van Halen… that cat… sheeeet!

[@CameronCooper]

I think Joe's a good choice. Glad they didn't choose a 'Van Halen clone' so to speak. Thanks for the kind words. I'd never get picked for something like that because I'm in the UK and they'd need a personality like Joe to sell tickets if they're going to tour it. If they picked a nobody that could play Van Halen better than Satch, nobody would go to the gigs.

[@countzero5150]

You said GIANT licks. You know what that means right? It means we need some Dann Huff licks next!

[@CameronCooper]

Do we need them ?

[@countzero5150]

@@CameronCooper I think we do! Awesome video though, there's no such thing as too much Van Halen.

[@Alexcosta-hy8to]

what is your string gauge?

[@CameronCooper]

09-42 or 10-46 depending on the guitar

[@gerh33]

Nice! But I’m sorry, you just don’t have enough guitars 🤣🤣🤣 🇮🇪🇸🇩🤘

[@pistoFF]

Where's the Harley Benton? 😁

[@CameronCooper]

Which one?

[@LegendofTheCosmic7]

For beginners yes it looks difficult. Evh built his own guitars, so intonation and action matter. ❤ Enjoy just grab other guitars until you can do a hammer on pull off vibrato😂😂😂😂

[@ricksmusicworld711]

I wonder if Vai was inspired by Judgement Day to create Building A Church? Looks like it to me. Same position and close in sound.

[@CameronCooper]

I get the sense he was inspired by the technique but playing building the church is a lot more complicated. Makes the sequence from judgement day appear somewhat basic in some ways.
