Guitar Lesson: How To Play Jump by Van Halen - Campfire Edition

[@jaerivus]

This is a terrific one-man arrangement. I appreciate your conciseness, and I love the sense of humor you infuse. Thanks very much! And thanks also for mentioning the stylistic option to voice the final intro chord as Csus2 (for purists). I'll be referring to this later.

[@RyanLendt]

thanks for taking the time Jaerv :)

[@FretSuccess]

I'm loving see all of the Eddie content coming out. I'm still in a state of shock and mourning tbh. Eddie was king. Thanks for everything. I've only just found your channel! A fantastic idea.

[@RyanLendt]

welcome and thank you FS! May he rest in power.

[@dominicfonseca7214]

You already know, I’m the guy who comments on every campfire version that I live for these 😍 rip Van Halen he will be missed :(

[@RyanLendt]

indeed DF, thanks for not missing your cue :) and may he rest in power :(

[@dean9498]

I'm a couple days late to the party. I said it before,I will say it again, your teaching is like no other. Love the way you break it down. Another awesome lesson. Thanks for everything you do.

[@RyanLendt]

thanks so much for that Dean :) the party rages on...

[@KowboyUSA]

Cheers JT. May he rest in power.

One of the most influential legendary guitarist we’ll ever know. Legends live forever🤘🤟

[@RyanLendt]

hear hear!

[@DorothyOzmaLover]

Great lively playing and nice instruction for acoustic that's fitting for EVH. As a guitarist for book trailers about comics who's influenced by Eddie Van Halen and as one looking for inspiration, your instruction here is great since you nicely explain how to move to all those chord shapes and account for the synth part too. Informative!

[@RyanLendt]

kind words from a pro - thank you DL, I'm really glad you enjoyed that :)

Ooh Ryan great tribute to the great Eddie!

[@RyanLendt]

Ooh thanks SV :)

[@davidtyler2012]

i just tried it with a capo at the third fret so I could pedal the C on the A string against the moving triads. I think it sounds pretty good. I'm thinking of adding this to my acoustic act. I'll have to figure out what to do with the solo... tapping on an acoustic probably won't give me what i need. Probably just come up with voicings that sounds like the chords he's tapping arpegiate them by picking.

[@RyanLendt]

i wanna see that video

[@davidtyler2012]

@@RyanLendt haven't figured out what to do with the solo yet

[@paulthompson2072]

Very cool love it

[@markwulff655]

I’ve learned more cool music from you than I think about anybody by now. And my grandma gave me my grandfather’s nylon string acoustic and paid for my lessons. I was about 11. Can’t remember. A lot of cool people have taught me a lot. I don’t suck. I love your line “campfire ready”. That describes me to a T. I sing and play. I love it. I’m not that good. But I’m ok. I’m campfire ready.

[@RyanLendt]

just don't forget to practice your stop drop and roll! you know, just in case...

Then I thought to myself, might as well jump

[@patprime7320]

So then I just went ahead and jumped

[@RyanLendt]

Jump! (next time wait for me to do the backing vocals)
