How To Play The "Amsterdam" Chorus Riff | Van Halen

[@markslima1557]

This part has bedeviled me forever- thanks for the tutorial!

[@christowing3816]

I swear to God when I watch your videos I close my eyes and I like I with Eddie Van Halen on a stage in front of me

[@michaelzaiser7366]

Great job sounds fantastic!

[@samuraidaddy]

Ed’s rhythm playing / swing is just ridiculously amazing. Nice work here as always LC. Curious if your Wolfgang is stock or did you swap out a PU ? I’m getting great tones out of mine but like a dirtier bridge PU ( like a Pariah)…thoughts ? Thanks !!

Thanks you so much for the riff help man, it really does take some time to wrap your head around this riff! Once I found the track WITHOUT a vocalist, it REALLY helped me enjoy the song better. Love love those vocal removal tracks

[@5150show]

Love balance!! Love your lessons!! Thank you

[@markslima1557]

Thank you so much for the tutorial and MAD PROPS for covering a lot of EVH lesser known great rhythm parts.

Great riff! My fav song music wise on Balance! Tone is killer!

[@gokhanersan8561]

The vibe that I wished was all over Balance. Pure, powerhouse, party attitude. It was 5150 time for a couple of minutes within that very dark and grungy album.

Smokin!

Killer riff Charlie. I need to learn the full song now. Keep the balance riffs coming.

This is really good...but I'm not quite sure if this is spot on to the record, but it's very close !! Check out the new video of eVh playing Amsterdam in studio. This chorus section had confused me as well, you won't find 2 youtubers who play it the same !! Really good sound you got here though...chorus and what else ?? 💘 🎸 🍒

[@gunslinger80sguitars]

Keep the balance riffs coming 🤟🤟👍👍

[@robbocop33r12]

What effects are here to get this sound?

[@mikep4891]

Cool! Enjoy your vids. Ever see Kent Carlevi? Older video by him doing the whole track. IMO This tune shows the brilliance of Eddies rhythm playing. Sounds simple, but waaay harder than it sounds.

[@mhoff7722]

Yeah this one gave me fits as well lol. I have the Alfred complete VH Tab book and they have a few more notes in there but the way I play it is pretty close to the way you have it. Good job man it is a tough one! 🤘🤘🤘

[@philipmesi424]

What amp are you using wow

[@stringbender11672]

awesome bro. but what about the part right before that? the pre-chorus i guess. im so close to nailing this song. thank you, nonetheless. \m/

[@ascentiall]

I think I know what you mean, guitarlessons365 (Carl) just uploaded a full lesson for this song, you can find it there. If you’re talking about the verse then liquid Charlie has a lesson for that too. Anything liquid Charlie has it’s a bit more accurate than Carl but he’s still great
