Dance The Night Away Lesson - Van Halen Tricks!

[@ShivaGenesis]

Bonus Dude.

[@citadel9611]

The fact that Eddie was 20, 21 when he came up with these approaches that had really not been done before, is the reason why we still talk about and admire his genius. R.I.P. King Eddie, and thank you for it all. Great channel Marty, and thank you as well.

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Thanks so much man!! 😎🙌

[@michaelgradisek6590]

Thank you. You have a nice easy going approach in showing, and explaining. Make it easy to pick it up, instead of having fingers covering chosen frets like others, and wanting to go back to play by ear.

[@benlewis1578]

I remember learning this 30+ years ago. I still have my notebook with the hand written tab. Now I can relive those lessons through the man Marty! Awesome channel!

[@pschroeter1]

I knew about artificial harmonics, but you blew my mind with that angled B maj harmonic chord strike.

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

It's a cool trick! Pretty neat too 😎

[@PeterthePiper777]

I have a few learning disabilities and you are hands down the best VH teacher I have come across, my fav new channel, cheers !

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Thanks so much man I am very glad to hear I have helped you out... thanks so much for the support man and Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁

[@CK-ur8nq]

Wow I wish I had KZbin back in the 80’s! Going to pick up the guitar and follow your jam on this one. Well done and an easier vh tune - but it truly captures his style and I thank you for that.

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Thanks! Yes KZbin back in the day would have been so amazing!!!

[@Bernz66]

We wouldn’t be ruining our records then!!!! LOL….. Best thing about learning songs in the 80’s was we all developed great ears!!!

[@aldeveron9498]

Fantastic lesson, and slick playing - thank you! Wish I could have watched your lessons back in the 1980s!

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching man!

Hi Marty, the more I understand Van Halen thanks to you, the more I realize how much of a giant he was. Thanks for your lessons. Ciao!

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Hire very welcome man! Thanks so much for watching. Happy holidays! 🎁🍺🎵🎵🎵

Hi Marty, your Channel is fantastic for learning and discovering again Van Halen. Go on this way. Many thanks for the greetings: nice holidays to you too! 👋

[@sergioragucci1962]

Thank you Marty for this amazing video. We all miss EVH and nothing better than learning with you how to play their best songs. Best regards from Argentina

[@Kennykoo65]

Watched this again. Great video. Great song. Been in awe of Eddie since first hearing him in the 70’s.

[@Sftd1973]

Guitar Genius for sure !!!! EVH along with Nokie Edwards, Chet Atkins and a few select others really set the mold for guitar playing. Vito Bratta was another that was a complete guitar genius probably the best at what he did. This video is probably the best instructional video I've ever seen for this song !!!! Thank you so much.

[@jodyafrica4457]

13:56 thank you for breaking down this technique especially with the explanation of the slide. I always wondered how he got this sound

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

You're welcome man!! Thanks for watching.

[@cle9146]

You’re an awesome Teacher Marty Thank You 🎸

[@scottbabb2088]

That was great. Mediocre player here, but I watch a LOT of videos. And tonight was the first time in quite awhile I've learned something truly new and exciting to try. Can't wait to devour more of your stuff. Also, couldn't help but think how this intro might have helped inspire Panama.

[@joelbraatz9089]

Excellent lesson Marty! I love the guitar too. I’ve been watching all of your Van Halen videos for a week now. You’re awesome 👍🏻

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Thanks Joel! I'm so happy to hear these help out. I appreciate you watching man! ☮️😎

[@s.macmillan460]

Thanks Marty!. I really do appreciate your time doing these instructions. It brought me back to guitar playing after years.

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

You're very welcome! That's so great to hear man!

[@NeilTurnbull007]

One of the best Van Halen songs imo . He had such a great touch and with all those little nuances Eddie added so much magic so his playing & even simple riffs came alive . Great lesson .!

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Thanks Neil. I totally agree!

[@e.l.norton]

Ironically, he and Al kinda hated this song. They've said in interviews that the idea for the song was MUCH different than what it ended up being. Ted kinda steered it in this direction. Both Ed and Al's attitude towards it became, "Eh. It just is what it is." I think Al's quote was, "Let's play it faster so it'll be over sooner." 😂 The brothers, man.

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

@@e.l.norton I know they hated Dancing In The streets for the same reason.

[@e.l.norton]

@@Ranch5150SkinWalker That's part of the genius of the brothers. They could take something that maybe wasn't so great an idea and still turn it into "Van Halen".

[@michaelradotich4946]

Rest in peace Eddie, you make this a lot easier than that other guy on here.

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Glad you are watching and taking stuff away from the videos! 😁

[@rsw64]

You're welcome! Thanks for the nice comment man. I'm glad these videos help people out! I really appreciate the support. 😎🤟🏻

[@johnburris3395]

It's so sad that we're never going to hear his genius. Ever again. It's Prashant Halen song I ever heard I was 12 years old. I can still feel the excitement could I get the first time I heard it. And then I get a lump in my throat. He was blessed with a gift from God. He just made you feel good when he played. It's not a long journey from the Cradle to the Grave. We better all enjoy everyday we're given

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Very true indeed. 🙏😎

Good lesson Marty. It looks too fun. Can't wait to give it a go. Thank you. Tucson, AZ.

[@user-oz3bh3xd3q]

Hey Marty, in this video I believe your the first person to nail it correctly. Your correct saying that Eddie was always changing up is music from original. As Eddie had said it’s all about the feeling. Great job!!

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback and for the comment. Eddie had a balance between technique and feel. He grew up listening to old school feel players and interpreted it the way he thought was right and relied on his instincts and musicality. That was the catalyst to the development of his “sound”. I think that’s why he adapted and modified stuff so much. You kind of have to approach his stuff with that mindset. (I think)

[@simorrison6409]

This brings back so many good memories, thank you so much.

Marty, I also see Ed play that E chord using just the first three strings as a D shape. I really think the way you play it sounds fatter and fuller. So cool to my ears!

[@isaacshaver6218]

I loved how Eddie could just the sound he needed a lot of the time just putting the guitar through a stack and using his volume knob & pick attack to get a cleaner sound. I often approached playing live like this. My amp & my channel switch, with a dual drive head. I always tried to approach things with a keep it simple stupid approach to my guitar rig/ guitar parts I wrote. Sometimes its not what you play, but what you don't. Serve the song. Another great lesson bro.

[@Wolf-p1m]

Thats so cool Marty! Just made day, no month!

[@tonymilam206]

I'm totally digging the guitar Marty. I have a white left-handed Charvel So-Cal that I've thought about getting a paint job on that's kinda stealthy. I would do a dark gray body with black stripes, and maybe an ebony fretboard. I'd love to have an old Beretta headstock too. In my mind it looks cool

[@cirobewater2406]

Marty, in few words, let me tell you and with all my pleasure, that you have a great way to teach, considering the technical way of teaching but also the ability you have got, probably over the years, but I am also sure that being a teacher is something that belongs to our own DNA, those skills that a great teacher needs to pass his passion and knowledge to his students. Thanks and all the best! CIRO ✌🏻🍻😉
