How to play Van Halen Somebody Get Me a Doctor guitar solo

[@dougsteeleguitar]

I fixed that part at 2:50 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIDKk2CbfbiMZ7s

[@jfoquendo]

Best lesson ive seen on youtube yet , thanks a Million !

[@dougsteeleguitar]

Cheers man.

[@jonnycool101]

A big thanx from England (UK) Doug, I've finally decided to learn all this great shit that I used to listen too. your time to make this video wasn't waisted and is very much appreciated. p.s still learning at 45 years old...lol

[@MikeyD5150]

Thanks so much for the videos Doug, I've been working on this solo for quite some time. I just started playing again about a month ago after selling my gear before I got married about 13 years ago. I learned more in this 10 min video then I would have learned in 6 months by myself! Thanks again, your work is appreciated!

[@commanderchilles6264]

Still appreciating you Doug, stay healthy!

[@RokDAWG1]

Your tone is killin' me man!! I love it!!

[@rlovato]

Dude I have been looking for you !!! I like your straight forward style ... I am stoked Bro Thanks!! All the stuff I can't figure out you make it easy you learn!!! F-Yes

[@headlesssoldier]

Dude, You are a Rock And Roll Hell Ride. Your playing and teaching style is great. In my old age of 44, I've started to go back and learn all the Eddie stuff that I got wrong as a teenager. Well thanks to you, and Eddie-John-Hinkley -Junior-Kurt Mitchell, my goal will be accomplished! Not to be a bitch, this IS the internet after all, but the lick at 2:48 is harder than eddie plays it. Its based off the same position as the last lick in the Ice cream man solo. no lateral shift!

[@dougsteeleguitar]

No, I'm dying to see it, anything to make that part easier I'm happy to redo.

[@taproot7]

this is awesome. thanks for taking the time to put this together.

[@JacksonRedRum]

Excellent lesson Doug!!! Wow especially @ 4:29 thank you my new favorite teacher! PeAcE!

[@whatisyourrealname1]

the 5 note sequence is a killer man

[@dougsteeleguitar]

Jake Sach it's crazay brah!!

[@garythomas4431]

Been playing this song a lot,..for many years. Nice review though. I picked up a few missing parts. Thanks for sharing.

[@metallman9]

Thanks for all the videos. They are awesome!! The commentary is hilarious,too.

[@yahreet]

Hey thanks a lot Doug. This is a great song and with some time I might do it justice. Very helpful video.

[@gtrmotorc7]

super helpful as always bro but when do we get to see that star in action

[@BlackWolfgang70]

[@basscrazy230]

Great lesson! Thanks for posting this

[@franksteur3737]

Great lesson, no bullshit. Thanks!

[@Metal1412]

Doug, Killer video again! Have you every play any of the 5150 stuff from EVH (5150, 5150II, or 5150III)?

[@Smuds]

great lessons man, you've really improved my playing. I was wondering if you know of a lesson that shows how to do that palm muting trick Ed does at the beginning of the last main riff playthrough before they go in to the third verse? (if that description made since)

[@6Metal6Head6]

Appreciate the lessons now i'm gonna need a doctor for my fingers bleeding.

[@chickabuka]

@DougFCKNSteele I also heard years ago from George lynch that Warren DiMartini (RATT) guitarist ripped off georges style, at this point water under the bridge,Im just enjoying watching lesson videos like yours on youtube and record on my pro tools. Thanks for your time! G

[@dougsteeleguitar]

You're never too old Johnny.

[@mark405371]

Sweet bro. Great lesson! Hey I have the same pod x3 live. Can you tell me your settings? I'm havin trouble getting the same juice as you man. Keep up the good shit 

[@headlesssoldier]

are great, not is great...... You rock and roll and I will shut up and learn!

[@chickabuka]

Hard to believe Eddie came up with this style over 30 years ago. nice playing

[@dougsteeleguitar]

@HisTruthbeUNKOWN Glad to be of service. Lynch is next after VH.

[@stringbender11672]

[@larsingbersmusic8378]

Great lesson

[@dougsteeleguitar]

@TibetCorporation Thanks!! I lover her.

[@knueven5150]

great video ,do you think you can come up with a poundcake solo dissection bro?

[@dougsteeleguitar]

@TheVanlussenberg1 I have no idea what that means, but thanks?

[@JoshCosta]

"Some pentatonicy stuff there" lol thanks great tutorial

[@darrinconnor7]

Hey Doug can't find a tutorial or decent lesson for "Amsterdam" just the first couple minutes of the song would be great. The intro is easy but after that kinda struggling.

[@VH5150MetallicaFan]

did you make that EVH bumble bee guitar yourself? cause it's looks AWESOME

[@JohnSmith-cg2fh]

What effects and amp are you using ? Great tone and echo - wondering ,those EVH guitars like yours , are they close to the original ? Nice technique here really like it - thanks for the video mate.

[@dougsteeleguitar]

Thank you sir!!

[@georgesester6083]

You excellent! Keep it up !

[@dougsteeleguitar]

@LypsLynch55 Thanks. I switch it up so I'm not bored.

[@dougsteeleguitar]

@dagbuss123 Cool, it's a bit long, i may redo at a later stage..

[@dougsteeleguitar]

All good Michael, be sure and check out the others.

[@BullgoesforGold355]

@DougFCKNSteele cant wait to see you play lynchs solo on heaven sent

[@dougsteeleguitar]

Ha ha, I have ADD and learning the stuff actually put me in the zone, so it seems like it's worked out for us all. More to come.

[@Luiginerd10]

@DougFCKNSteele Haha, will do man, keep rocking Doug! ;D

[@LypsLynch55]

theres a video on here from VH '82 SGMAD - cant post the link (give error msg) @ 01:30 - Ed does the 5's in B w/ring finger - FYI Good videos, keep fightin the good fight - Pauley

[@dougsteeleguitar]

@lamt1996 Thank you, getting it repainted. Gimme 2 weeks.

[@PsychedelicNightTrai]

dude the Jason becker lick wow

[@dougsteeleguitar]

Cheers Mark, smash it.

[@dougsteeleguitar]

Cool, show me the vid where he does it that way.

[@SuperCullen69]

The volume swell is easier on a regular strat. I have a charvel and it’s almost impossible to do it that fast cause the volume is a little behind the bridge but with the strat it’s in the perfect spot

[@dougsteeleguitar]

@HillaryHitler Same, Oakland Omni, with Chastain..

[@drinkspecials]

great video man/ love it./ make more.

[@Fernandez3995]

Oooh, the lick at 5:20 is on "I'm the One"!

[@dougsteeleguitar]

Thank you sir.

[@JackTaylor39]

You're awesome thanks for the lesson!! How many of you iPhone users accidentally hit the flag as inappropriate button instead of the comment and like button? Sorry, I didn't mean it! :) double thumbs up!

[@dougsteeleguitar]

All good. I'll get my fave 4 VH albums outta the way, then I'll start on Lynch.

[@dougsteeleguitar]

Not at all, I got one. John Sanders, Hawthorn, Australia.

[@dougsteeleguitar]

@chickabuka Yeah, I can hear it, I like both guys so it's cool. Rawk!!!

[@dougsteeleguitar]

I'm just a guy who loves Ed's playing, when I was 18, it was Eddie and Lynch and fuck everyone else.

[@Shyuum]

You better call up the ambulance I'm deep in shock Overloaded baby, I can hardly walk!

[@dougsteeleguitar]

@Luiginerd10 nah, i guess it's a feel thing, just go balls out, LOL.

[@anthonybeckett8989]

Nice job bro!

About another week. parts should arrive in the next 2 days.

[@dougsteeleguitar]

@chickabuka He was mind blowing back then. George Lynch says he ripped off a guy named Terry Kilgore. George says Terry did it first..

[@dougsteeleguitar]

Ha ha, gonna try soon and finish off VH stuff.

[@retrorokkit]

Great lesson man. Thanks. But aren't you supposed to go "whoo whoo" after the second swell. haha

[@dougsteeleguitar]

Cheers!!

[@dougsteeleguitar]

There's only so much hand holding I'll be doing, especially for free. If it's too hard, go the way of KISS.

[@cambell9]

Doug Steele Guitar hahahaha yessss!!!

[@dougsteeleguitar]
