Gary Schutt plays Van Halen "Dirty Movies"

[@damiantorn5799]

Am I the only one who sees VHFair Warning as a beautiful & dark gem of EVH's mind? Some of the parts are NOT of R&R - but of ethereal origin! When I bought the album & played it on my stereo MY MIND was not ready for the journey - VH's prev recs gave no clues. Dirty Movies, Push Comes to Shove, Sunday Afternoon in the Park, One Foot out the Door, the solo section of Hear About It Later - they blew my F'n mind! I've never been the same since April 29, 1981 ... thank the music gods!

[@t.sewell1513]

The most abstract guitar playing I’ve ever heard. RIP Eddie!

[@Tangento]

It is a fooking masterpiece. Fair Warning is (IMO) by far the best album of any VH incarnation, is easily an overall top 10 1980s album, and MAN it has just aged incredibly well. Sunday Afternoon/ One Foot remains to this day as my favorite thing(s) VH has done. BTW, great work on the song, Gary!

[@eddiesuthers927]

Fair Warning had a dark, heavy groove...that has never been duplicated. By anyone.

[@eddiesuthers927]

...and it is my single most favorite piece of recorded music...since I first heard it as a sophomore in HS back in '81.

[@michaelehlert9]

Best VH album of the lot

[@michaelehlert9]

Awesome! As I get older I’m shocked how no one has replaced EVH. This album was a MASTERPIECE

[@mikekopmanis2099]

That's because no one is nearly as creative as Ed. You are recognizing how this guy was a virtuoso for our time.

[@ryanquick94]

you cant replace god

[@soundbreak7]

theres only one king edward

[@RockDawg77]

As a lifelong VH and Lynch/Dokken fan, reading VH Rising, very cool to learn Ed and George were buds as the scene started to open up and they were developing their styles. Pretty sweet stuff.

[@MrPyroguru]

Fair Warning Van Halen's greatest album for guitarists! The solos were insane!

[@daverunner3397]

Well done sir. Brown sound perfectly executed.

[@sbrave]

Their best album, EVH's best tone to date. My opinion anyway : )

[@777dcap]

sbrave Fair Warning absolutely their best album. EVH at his very best! I totally agree. What EVH wrote on this album absolutely blows my mind.

[@jp5150vh]

+Dave Capone couldn't agree more

[@mikeonkst5424]

@@777dcap gals and guys like us, who like FW, know their music and know their shit!!!! Cheers!!

[@LinusFeynstein]

The mix was impeccable, rough but clear tone. Not overdone like most heavy metal bands nowadays, who sound like Machine guns without any soul and warmth.

[@auto_5]

Linus 6626 Feynstein - Right? I get real sick of metal elitists who only listen to newer death metal/-core/“math”/djent and whatever the fuck else kind of shit that is mostly noise and where the intruments and vocal are pretty much all indestinguishable from each other, acting like they know it all and have the best taste because their shit is HEAVIER and/or FASTER. Lol sorry for the rant(not really though), but it really irks me. I have had my times/phases of listening to a decent amount of that kind of stuff-it all has its place once in a while- but man.... 😅

[@MetalandHotRods]

this is the music I grew up with

[@donaldmoffatt3434]

"Hey, do you remember when that girl was Prom queen?"............I do! GREAT JOB, and THANKS!

[@dominicdubois9767]

This is incredible. Love the rhythm/lead mix.. very nicely executed. The single coil pick up really added some great tone to this as well.

[@caryconover]

Dude, fricking tight. This is excellent. Nodding my head the entire way through. Really visualizes for me the idea of how much his hands travel all over that fretboard.

[@andyfern6671]

Awesome....got that brown sound down man! Always loved this track...so much humour and swagger in it, you did such a great job, cheers!

[@joev5842]

Definitely nailed it!! Excellent!! Thank you

[@countvond233]

The tone on Fair Warning is next level by a huge step. EVH's progression is off the charts. This song in particular is jaw-dropping and the tone is blistering. Side two gets a little lighter but ends on Sunday in the Park/One Foot out the Door. One-two punch ending. Great job interpreting this song Gary - hell of a task.

[@lyonsy81]

Take a bow son & be proud of yourself, that was awesome!!! Love the song, great video i'll keep watching day after day to see if i can pick this up, GREAT JOB

[@mikemadunic7960]

That was fucking awesome! Great job.

[@TheGearhead222]

Great job! You make the guitar sing, especially on the chromatic passages-Bravo!-John in Texas

[@user-yb1ok3oj1t]

wow!!!! one of the best jobs of covering a van halen tune ive heard your the man

[@dr.omalley593]

Gary, great job.You killed it. Just awesome!!

[@herbertdoscher9764]

Saw this video about a year ago or so and didn't comment at the time. Incredible job dissecting one of Eddie's more complex arrangements. You've given me something new to chew on. Thanks so much.

[@MetalGods18]

Awesome dude i love dirty movies along with mean street and i think my favorite VH song would have to be hear about it later, fair warning is such a killer album. Keep rockin!

[@OmniscientVirtuosity]

Fuck yeah it is every tune is fantastic. Push comes to shove my all time fave tho. Dirty movies and Mean street right there though. The band as a whole was never better. Dave was at the top of his game

[@Brian-Burke]

This is fantastic. You're a hell of a player, Gary.

[@denqwerty8000]

Amazing cover!!! Goosebumps

[@Nightboat]

I've always loved the album since 1st hearing it at 14 year's old. I also very much enjoyed hearing your guitar version of the song presented here. BRAVO on covering a tough rhythmic part from beginning to end!

[@DaveRucci]

This rocks Gary! Killer playing, especially doubling on both parts. Also dig that strat sound on this 🤘🏻

[@BledsoeBluvd]

One of the best covers I've seen, your tone is excellent. Well done!

[@lukemoses8020]

I miss him already. And so much too. Great video man.

[@scottcolvin9997]

Awesome!! I love this song and this really shows the bad ass guitar work in the song. #mindblown !!

[@rockingguitarlessons]

excellent job dude

[@francisfallon]

Stellar

[@GraceOverloaded]

Dude never seen anyone try to cover this. totally awesome job. Been a VH fan since i was 10 yrs old back in 78!!!!!!

[@ivorharden]

Dirty movies has got a reggae groove with a Rock Punch.

[@Spqr9342]

Gary, just discovered this. Its Amazing. Technically superior without a doubt!!! Thank you for breaking this one down.

[@RickBlacker]

WOW! Nailed it. Amazing watching you play this awesome tune. He's (and you) just all over that fretboard. I've always loved that song, but to see it played gives me a whole new level of appreciation for it.

[@carvin83]

Nice innovative combination of chords and slide on the pre chorus. Thanks for your time. Rock on, Bro.

[@halo12many]

Thanks Gary for making my world of guitar that much of a bugger!!!

[@RunTFC]

So good. I'm not a musician but sure appreciate those that are and those that rock the great songs. Love Fair Warning. It's my favorite along with Van Halen. Watching you play that gave me goosebumps. Cheers.

[@fatbeat251]

That was Awesome best cover I have seen .

[@silverarrowslk]

Excellent man. This is a great track that's often over looked

[@fab.silva1119]

I only wish I could give this 10 thumbs up! 👍🏻 Gary you are a bad ass groove monster!

[@ChrisvonChamier]

Holy shit, what a great rhythm riff on the verse. Love this song!! Fantastic job!!

[@rfd73]

Great cover!, thanks for sharing it

[@MrBakkify]

cool ,love that tune, great job playin it!

[@justinht9772]

This has been one of my favorite VH songs since the day I heard it. Seeing this video makes it that much better.

[@ThrashRoC]

Your Van Halen Lessons are Damm Great man .. + The Fact you Play a Very Cool Sounding and Looking Strat = Awesome Vid !

[@HanValen]

What a great job....thanks for sharing!

[@dmarkj22]

It’s videos like these that show us just what a creative genius Eddie was.

[@MarcBolan3]

Fantastic cover!

[@chuckhalen9543]

Still watching this video in 2023. Great job as usual, Gary.

[@mikeonkst5424]

Grew up with this album and introduced to VH....never looked back!!!!

[@mikeonkst5424]

Gary....You, sir, are among the greats!!! From EVH, through your fingers and rig. There is NO ONE ELSE, I would want to play that song, other than you, man!!!🤟

[@victortafoya]

Great man.....!!!!!!!! i love the song and you do it well

[@u.hinson6300]

Dude you shred!!! Awesome guitar. Thanks!

[@AllenGarberGuitarFun]

Nice combination live arrangement...good job!

[@daveboyer3568]

Good job man. Im gonna start workin on this. One of my favorite VH tunes. Thanks for the post & saving me some time !!!

[@raygamino6687]

Thank You. Damn I miss Eddie. Long Live the Mighty Van Halen! 🎸☝🏽😔

[@Percival26]

Gary love your channel n content! I’d love to see you play ‘Girl gone bad’. Keep rocking!

[@gregorymacdonnell7914]

Gary this is the most intense combination of 2 guitar tracks, combined into a seamless part. You have the tone, the groove,the chops and feel of EVH. I think he would be pissed off you pulled this rabbit outta the hat. I have watched this video for years now...but I have not tried your way yet. It looks easy,but I know Ed...and is NOT EASY to do! You are a super guitarist with an obvious passion for Van Halen, or Ed, and I wish I could find more of your stuff. GREAT WORK GARY!!

[@JohnWaldron-cm7ce]

I totally agree. Having been a classical Trombonist, I am amazed at how well Gary has the Van Halen "Brown Sound" down-not easy!-John in Texas

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

Man, I've not heard that song forever. very cool. perfect man. Thanks for sharing.

[@Skibble5150]

Great performance of ome of VH's best tunes. Love that warm sounding album, great memories of my youth! I wish more people would play these tunes in VH cover bands. Sinner's Swing and Push Comes To Shove are up there as well!

[@tomhill2417]

Dude i remember wearing out the 8 track of Fair Warning befor people had cassette players. This broght back some memorys of high school. Thanks Man!!!!!

[@123jozef]

Good job. Nice tone. Great chording. Gonna check and see what else you do ~ I'm not usually impressed with much on Y/T ~

[@diamondd2778]

Just excellent!

[@briansmith3983]

Nice job Gary. Very smart to figure it out. Thanks.

[@felipesaenz3245]

Thanks Mate !!! I fling love that work of art !!!

[@oPosiidon2800]

Something about that descending lick from the A to the "Low E" gives me goosebumps everytime.

[@tshozee]

subscribed, you sire has made my day, awesome cover

[@madmichaelmathieu]

Great job Gary!! You captured the "vibe" of the riffs perfec!!. VH rules. Tom Morello said it best: "If aliens came down and challenged us to a Battle of the Bands to decide the fate of Planet Earth, I would feel very confident putting early Van Halen forward as our champion." And Fair Warning is their prime. This song has such a textured riff and Dave's vocals are amazing. I played this audio through my surround sound after converting it and your guitar track sounds fucking awesome! great tune

[@chrisstratman1433]

Well done and technically strong ! one of the best covers out there dude! love this song from their best album.

[@tulsa9999]

Awesome man!! I'm stoked to learn this! Thanks for posting.

[@brianskeggs9785]

One of their best songs!

[@blak1lyte]

dang! thanks to you.. i finally got it, and i been playing a long time! but if i see it... like in watching you, its a done deal and that little part you added/created to cover 'both parts' as you say, works just great!! there a r e very little subtle things that are ever so slightly different than the recording, but thats expected as no one can play it ever as good or with the exact feel as Ed originally did; but you did a 99.9 percenter! and i can now play it with confidence! thanks Gary!

[@richardmorales8267]

Nice guitar work. A truly classic VH song, perhaps too underrated? Thanks Gary.

[@erikfincher5011]

Dude!!! Kudos brother .... That was truly bad ass!

[@123jozef]

I cant stop listening to this. Your guitar tone is so crisp, perfect distortion, totally captured the sound of his Fair Warning days..

[@bouchemusic]

Very creative my friend. Diggin' it!!

[@miked6896]

Fantastic! That's one VH I've never seen up close. Really cool.

[@slag5150]

Loved it. Great job.

[@TheGearhead222]

Great job! -John in Texas

[@fv3video]

I like the dual camera approach. You nailed it.

[@jimteahan6446]

just excellent my man

[@samwiggles]

His guitar parts are like piano parts. He wrote a lot on piano.

[@McMinnManiac]

I get the feeling he is playing a bass line, as well as using keyboard chords . As far as how well Eddie could play keys ;Ed Van Halen has a vision, where as every instrument he spends time developing chops, and technique, has his melodic signature. As far as if Ed could actually play classical or jazz pieces on piano, no one knows, there is no actual recording of such a thing As far as songwriting, I have never heard anyone put a bridge middle section as cool as ,"Jump" in any song arrangement. it is one of the the archetypes , of a really interesting interlude, for sure! MAB did a really cool medley of Van Halen , where. The melodic ideas of both guitar, and keys, are played on just guitar! It's so good , you forget he's fast

[@jasoncharles9481]

Eddie was such a writing and arranging genius, something that is often overlooked. Everybody talks about his leads but this is what separated him from everyone else. Total genius who was able to sneak in complex lines and harmonies into rock songs and make them catchy.

[@jefffraser6666]

Interesting you say that.. I love this version by Gary.. I showed an Eddie cover guy this clip.. Within 10 seconds he said it's not accurate..this is a piano version..Eddie did this on guitar not piano

[@markc2761]

Well you blew me away with Little Guitars but this just tops that - fantastic thank you Gary👍

[@dsstrauser6144]

Gary You are freaking awesome....

[@bigchiefmtb]

- last hundred views are from me, learning this great tune. many thanks!

[@michaelehlert9]

Back here two years later after my last comment - love this. Great work.

[@bunkie5150]

Dude your real good!!! Great skills...... my jaw is dropped!!!

[@diamondd2778]

WOW.....JUST WOW....Brilliant

[@47Wolfgang]

Sounds great!

[@josephkelly9514]

Dude it's a great guitar album! So very underappreciated. Love it!

[@BillLarkinmusic]

Everyone has said it, but fair warning is the best album. You rocked this tune Bravo!

[@TheMightyVanHalen]

yup... FW has always been my FAV vh record. And I've come to realize over the last few years reading more and more comments... that FW is definitely the fan favorite of most overall. Very nice to see it get so much love. Brilliant f'n record

[@richevans609]

It's my favorite!

[@Theo-hc5ob]

VERY Nicely Done!

[@cs780]

Bloody awesome, one of my favourite tracks. Nice job showing the end too.what is it you can hear on the origanal track straight after it ends,sounds a bit like phaser still turned on.

[@GarySchutt]

Thanks and yes, sound like a flanger with the amp hiss.

[@sdime9858]

Wow , its been a while since I've listened to Fair Warning and I kinda forgot about Dirty Movies that song really jams and you did an excellent job of playing it my friend 👍

[@swabby2]

Damn, I really enjoyed that. Think Ill play it again.

[@denisclement6837]

bravo gary... du grand art!!!

[@10secondguitarlessons]

If this isn’t the best Van Halen cover of all time it’s certainly in Top 5 for sure, sounds so good! 🔥

[@OakleySoapboxDerby]

Friggin' awesome!
