Eddie Van Halen's Mastery Of Harmonics

[@Torgomasta]

I really appreciate people who one can tell are truly lovers of something. I can tell you really loved Eddie, and that's really touching. Thanks for your lessons, I've gotten a lot out of them. RIP to another legend.

[@MrMan_47]

"Throwing candy" to the listener is the best description of EVH harmonics I have ever heard! Nice!

[@josearalat]

Eddie was the Leonardo Davinci of guitar. A genius way ahead of his time.

"THERE WILL BE NO OTHER " " LONG LIVE KING EDWARD " The intro to Women in love is also a great example on how he used tapped harmonics with chords n triads I'm surprised you didn't mention it. Great in depth lesson. ROCK ON DAVE ! 👊 👍 🎸 😎 P.S. I just started taking guitar lessons in 1978, I was 11 yrs old n VH1 Emerged. The rest is history. I want to thank him for making me the guitar player I am today. He will always be my favorite guitar player of all time. I am truly going to miss him.

[@Busyfingers24]

Dave, thank you for the umpteenth time. Your such a kickass player and teacher! I had the good fortune of having my dad retire at March AFB in '72 so my early teen years were in SoCal and by '75 I was addicted to guitar and as fate would have it a buddy's uncle told us about this band he saw called Mammoth in LA and said remember the name Van Halen cause this guy Eddie will blow the world away! R.I.P. to arguably the greatest ever and thanks for another trip down memory lane🤘

[@julianschulz1620]

Edward was my obsession during my teenaged years, actually from 12 years of age onward. I swear, every pick scrape, harmonic, flange (how bout that flange pick scrape at the end of Bottom's up!), pull off, mute, etc. is embedded in my DNA. I remember that off the cuff, unaccompanied solo at the beginning of Fools, blowing my mind. You could HEAR the strength in his left hand, the way he squeezed out these flurries of notes. Always will be the KING!

[@SBDavin]

Fools was my favorite to jam with on that album too! Just soft, then loud, raw, commanding - couldn't turn it up loud enough.

[@rickfennell7849]

@@SBDavin im with you bro. Those first four chords in fools could never, ever, ever be cranked loud enough🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Anthony-nk4ky]

How about hearing the strength in his left hand on all of Spanish Fly! I mean those tapped harmonics on the higher strings are tough to sound on an acoustic, then there’s all that tapping and legato on an acoustic. And to think he didn’t just play that, he wrote it too

[@Jasonfurrofficial]

Great video bro! He was the reason I picked up the guitar too! Sitting on the floor in Lexington, KY as a kid and watching the 'JUMP' video debut on MTV... Damn! My first album was 1984 and I bought it on my seventh birthday. I still have it! Hopefully with Eddie's passing it will bring back a passion for the electric guitar in music. Great job once again bro!

Had no idea that's how he tuned for Top Jimmy. I've never seen anyone play it, thank you!!

[@glenncoleman6253]

I’m sure we can all relate to the shock and loss you’re feeling. This was one of the toughest losses for me. He was a superhero of my childhood and even if you never meet these people they have profound impacts on your life. Eddie never ever disappointed with the material he produced. Incredible icon. We’ll never see his like again.

[@tomdutra977]

Ed is going to live on for a very long time Dave. Thanks for doing your part with all your hard work....

[@MyGuitartime]

Thank you! No one ever talks about all of his use of harmonics! This was fantastic! Thank you once again. Oh and Top Jimmy was awesome!

[@andyracksthecams]

Thank you for these gems. Thank Edward. I bought the Black n White EVH guitar recently and then the next week he was gone. I had been going over what I partly learned years ago but making a better effort. All this info helps. It is the best electric guitar knowledge as far as I can tell. It makes the instrument a playground. It makes you smile then it makes you think of the master. Edward. Great video and lesson.

[@monsterkxf]

It’s hard to lose our musical idols and as we get older, we will eventually lose them all. It’s tough. Randy Rhoads was a tough one for me, Marley, Cobain, Stevie Ray, Jeff Healey, Layne Staley, Chester, the list goes on. And now EVH. Yes it’s sad but thanks to people like you David, we are reminded of our past and present hero’s and forgotten bands. They may be gone but you keep their spirit alive in every vid. Long live the king! RIP Eddie 🤘🤘

[@chogumchonsa]

So my neighbors are going to love what I learned-elephants in my house. Lol, very nice tribute, David. I appreciated how you showed so much reverence in this lesson. 🤘

[@michaelkatz1539]

Great rant! So informative! I was 15 when Van Halen debut album came out and music hasn’t been the same since. He was the last great rock guitarist. He was the right hand of G-d and Hendrix was the left hand. As brilliant as they come and taken from us too soon.

[@jnh73]

Two other examples of Harmonics Masters I highly recommend: Mattias Eklundh and Bill Frisell. Great great great Rant, David. Long live the King.

[@ericcarpenter3263]

The elephant trick was always so cool. I remember a video on VHS I had in the 90’s of Curt Mitchell showing a tapped harmonic section during the chorus of Dance the Night Away. It was a single line tapped on the B and A chords and it was so hard for me to learn. Slapping the chords for the breakdown wasn’t too bad but I’ll always remember that “impossible” for me line. I’ll have to track it down after I work on your lesson and see if it’s still as hard as I remember. Great video.

[@KingPepeLePew]

like everyone here i grew up wanting to play like Eddie and never really could, best I could manage was a note for note copy but could never really pull off sounding like him even after 30 years of playing. Vai said this best about Eddie Van Halen... “I could never play like him,” Vai admits. “I never really tried. Only an idiot competes with Eddie Van Halen. in another article he says Eddie would visit him after he was done Roth and one day he just picked up my Guitar which was all setup for me, levels, pedels etc and the moment he started playing, Vai said, it sounded 100% Edward and he then knew Eddies tone was all in his fingers.....had nothing to do with guitars, amps, pedals and every other bit of garb marketing teams dream up.

Thank you very much for this analysis. Eddie's open harmonics have until now been a little bit of a mystery to me. He used them so melodically. I was not prepared for his passing as you said and it took me a few days to be able to function again. So this is nice to take a closer look at the great things he did.

[@patrickriley195]

Eddie was so influential to millions, including myself. He is why I still play today, I build my own amps because I heard Ed built his gear. I love your videos sir!

[@Swanlord05]

Well said

[@Jaloja]

Since the news of Eddie passing I have read, watched and learned about a true American legend. Years ago I read 3 books about Eddie and the band which gave me a perspective on the early rise to prominence. Still so many things to read, watch and listen to that I enjoy but in a way it just reminds me of what we all lost. The pain is real and we all feel the loss. I bought a EVH guitar which I had wanted for about 2 years but put off. Now was the time. It seemed only right to have one produced before he passed. A run that he had a say in what was produced. Some may think that is not important but if you feel it is then it is. Keep the legend with us! Thanks for the EVH content!

[@leftyzappa]

DUDE! This is what I have most wanted to focus on since Ed died. I’ve been playing 34 years. With only a cursory employment of Ed’s signature moves because they are *his*. Now I’m taking it as a responsibility to master them. Thanks dude. You pretty much headshrunk EVERYTHING in 30 minutes. ❤️

I love this. First riff I got deep with after Eddie passed was Top Jimmy. The one area I’ve been laser focused on was his use of stretch licks: Ice Cream Man, The Full Bug, Beat It, etc.

[@TheCjbowman]

EVH was an innovator, a pioneer, and a true original. His songwriting was probably his greatest strength, and when combined with his creative genius approach to soloing and experimental tinkering he was just so revolutionary. RIP, Ed - your influence will live forever. You are the reason I play electric guitar!

[@scottdunn2178]

Another tip to getting harmonics to just "Jump" out of the guitar is to use a graphic or parametric eq to boost 800hz frequencies... this will bring out the "even-order" (or 2nd order) harmonics. You don't need to get into Dimebag Darrell or Stryper territory... but you'll find that boosting those frequencies really helps those harmonics to pop.

[@mfrie]

Really great lesson. When I was kid I thought the other tapped melody in Dance the Night Away was a keyboard in the background until I saw him do it live. Women In Love is another great Ex. Tapped intro chord arpeggios, and natural harmonics as chord extensions in the descending progression. Thanks for Top Jimmy. I similar to you just never got around to figuring it out. Eddie wasn’t really know for alternate tunings other than all strings down a semitone or drop 6th down a whole.

[@rjc7289]

Would've loved to see you play that tapped harmonic intro to "Mean Street", especially the very beginning where EVH alternates slapping the fretboard with his pick hand thumb and fingers.

[@jacobdowler1]

i dig your show man. you are definitely underrated and deserve way more views and subscribers. i like the small channels though. it keeps it real. i Loved Eddie man, he was for sure one of my main influences as a guitarist. id say he specifically taught me how to be original and just explore what you can do and create on the guitar just by using what you have...he was the most creative! thank you very much for putting out this video:) being born in 1991 my first CD i ever purchased was Van Halen's Greatest Hits Vol 1. released in 1996 but im sure i was about 9 or 10 years old when i picked that one up with my birthday money...i listened to that whole album non stop i shit you not and put ERUPTION on replay constantly, some nights i would just fall asleep listening to it with my headphones on.

My first concert ever as a kid was Van Halen and AC/DC when they played at the Day on the Green in 78'. So many of my friends who played guitar went ape shit over Eddie, and while I did as well, the phenomena was so huge at that time that I shied away from learning more than a few of his solos. But I never shied away from the techniques, precision, and *especially his amazing sense of rhythm* because that would have been a huge failure on my part. R.I.P Eddie!

I spent the last few weeks before Edward passed away studying and learning the solo to feel your love tonight. (Page 73 in your VH 1 songbook) and really digging how he started phrases on the last beat of the previous bar. In other words not starting the phrase on the one but on the 4 or the "and" of 4 before the next bar. Just that subtle rhythmic displacement that keeps things interesting. I was literally sitting on my couch thinking about this when the phone lit up with the news. Within about 3 min I was on a slight rollercoaster. I know we all experienced that. I thought of Wolfgang and Alex, his wife Janie, Valerie Bertinelli, Mike, Dave, Sammy and well of course everyone who ever knew or worked with him. Then I could almost feel the collective anguish of the "guitar community". I live in San Diego so I knew there were about a million people up the road in LA that were feeling what I felt at that moment. Well anyway I guess that's my little blues jam. Eddie was also the reason I wanted to play guitar so the joy and fun of learning and playing an instrument was initially sparked by those crazy sounds I first heard in 1979. Thanks for your video and channel, lots of great stuff to learn. P.s. Jimmy Herring would be my next request.
