These Simple Eddie Van Halen Tricks Make You Sound Better!

[@grumpyoldrockers1048]

I have been copying Eddie since the day I first heard him in clubs throughout LA county. I've also seen a ton of guys here on KZbin trying to do his technique(s). You are by far the go-to guy when it comes to Eddie. Nobody compares. When I want to relearn something from my hero, I am coming here from now on. Thanks for pouring your heart into this you can tell you do...

[@s4nderino]

Yeah baker is good but Cameron Cooper is also a go-to guy imo 😁

[@grumpyoldrockers1048]

@@s4nderino yes I have watched a lot of his videos also. Both outstanding guitar players. But as far as instructions go, this guy keeps it very simple! I like that...

[@RtroyD]

Lol

[@TheEfetzis]

Guys check out Jacob Deraps..

[@s4nderino]

@@TheEfetzis I did..great great player, has his own album out

[@fabianbackman]

He does the trill harmonics after the solo on Somebody Get Me a Doctor!

[@robertsebastian7903]

He also does it on the first part of the "You're No Good" solo

[@DurffMan]

At the end of Sucker in a 3 piece as well

[@foggyblues13]

I love these kinds of lessons. It's the little nuances that make up for great playing. Thanks Robert!

[@johnabbottphotography]

Love, love, love how you're focusing in on the little flourishes that made him the king. Thanks so much. Adding as much of this to my repertoire as possible.

[@ToddCash328]

You're such a good teacher, Robert! Love all your videos....especially the EVH ones. Thank you!

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

Thank you Todd.

[@johnkruton9708]

Women in Love is my favorite right hand tapped harmonic track ever. Deep Tracks

[@wh0sthatgirl]

"there's a hair in my eye" 😂

[@kojam1]

I know how annoying that can be. I've had a hair in my eyelash before. THE WORST! 😂

[@jasonmorris3533]

Lol I grew mine really long again.. And it's so annoying lol..

[@QuikdethDeviantart]

it’s the new: “I’ve got blisters on me fingers!”

[@rockkstah2550]

those first 5 VH albums will never get old, its pure EVH tone, and it definitely change the rock and roll industry for good..

[@adifilip7]

Great lesson Robert. You definitely clear up what I call the 'impossible unknown', especially when it comes to EVH. Thanks a million for your hard work and effort.

[@stanphillips7277]

Nice little EVH video, on the cool Frankenstrat that I'd bet most of us are just drooling with envy (not true biblical envy, because that would mean we don't want _you_ to have it, and we love you bro and, you deserve it!) because we don't have one!

[@Vincentrd65]

Robert Im a bday boy on 8-2-2022 57 years young. Started playing at 16 played strictly acoustic for 14 years although I was a Union Ironworker in Cleve Oh, I played lots when not working,until on 3-28-2000 I was knocked off the Iron injurying my spinal cord,21 years later I finally was able to pick up a guitar again, my children started playing my old acoustics and after awhile Nicholas at SweetWater hooked em up with some pleked Schecters. I tried them and was able to play electric not acoustic but Im back. I missed so much learning over the years I had LPs no Utube ... So I do appreciate these tips. Thanks Bro !

[@tallpaul1020]

Top Jimmy is a great one for the tapping. Another great lesson!!! Thx Robert 🎸

[@ThomasColeFZ]

Amazing video. First class on all qualities. A true pleasure to watch and learn. Thanks 🙏 for making it.

[@GibsonSG.]

Hello Robert thank you for the lesson I love your EVH and ac/dc videos

[@codacreator6162]

“Every time I do that, there’s a hair in my eye!” Yep. That’s me and VH.

[@davidgroom980]

awesome dude, this is a great tuition video unlocking some of the secrets of the great guitar king. Thank you so much and what a tone you have there!

[@Kingelessar95]

Thanks from Brazil bro, EVH tricks is always welcome!!

[@andrewison2194]

Those are some awesome tricks right there especially the harmonics at the end . Knowing the secret is going 12 fretz up

[@Tom-wm4gy]

Thank you, soo much! This video is an answer to my prayer! Awesome!

[@coreydavison4971]

This video answers alot of questions I had about tapping! Thanks a bunch Robert!

[@jcburger733]

Thank you for the additional Eddie Van Halen tricks.

[@fredacuneo5180]

2:00 - Mathias Jabs on his six-string-sting does the same thing. Very cool thing to do. Always gets the audiences attention when I do it - both the guys AND the ladies.

[@licksnkicks1166]

You are my main go to Eddie VH learning videos. Amazing. Thank you!❤️

[@Kacee2]

Your lessons are always fun.

[@fflat5150]

Thanks for the great lesson on Eddie Van Halen! I can never get enough of King Edward 👑🎸😎

[@rogerowens5669]

I'm always going to give you props Robert because I know what a journey this has been so keep being yourself bro

[@choowie92]

In 40 years we will still be discovering new Eddie's tricks.

[@paulc9434]

King Edward will forever be missed. Your respect and love is appreciated greatly.

[@chrisdiceart]

Robert - the DETAIL of sliding the hand forward for a rake is a detail I didn't know! Thanks for the help. And I'm digging the Rock'n Roll Boot camp! 😀

[@charlesbranch4120]

Thank you, Mrs. Baker! Nice camera work.

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Great Lesson - enjoyed it. EVH was a Monster. RIP Legend. oNe LovE from NYC

[@davemccraw3910]

Great explanation thx!!! I learned some new stuff and I’ve been playing a long time. EVH has such cool techniques

[@gusman412]

Great Job Robert ! I read all or most of the comments and if I see a scammer I report it for you. Rock On Brother !!!

[@nicholasorozco9245]

Great video and tips. Clearly explained a lot. Much appreciated.

[@ricstormwolf]

I have gotten so much from this video, and I'm barely halfway through. I have been obsessed with learning the tapped harmonics since hearing Darrell Braun do them a few years ago. I'm going to check out your course and probably sign up for your Patreon if you have one. This is GOLD to me 🤘😎

[@andycummings-music]

Great content! I believe Eddie actually used the side of his pinky on his right hand for those trill harmonics.

[@wyldbill100]

VERY COOL! Loved this!!

[@Xcorgi]

Plenty of people know how to play but don’t know how to teach to get the message across. You are able to do both better than anyone else.

[@redheadgoins7411]

You so need to do a Van Halen Boot Camp Class!

[@olderbutwiser123]

Simple Fantastic, thank you thank you, yes Eddy was and will always be the King.

[@ZitherBeast]

That was fantastic stuff Robert. I definitely learned something new with this video.

[@JoseRamirez-id9ne]

This was a great short lesson! Thanks

[@Halenrocks5150]

Love it!!! Super quick and easy lesson:)

[@andyhawkins8022]

Great video as always, dude!

[@guitarhero9147]

Hey Robert. I asked you question about a Les Paul that would just not stay in tune. Thank you for your response. I have not tried it yet, but I look forward to trying it. Thank you again!

[@AllanGildea]

Great playing, Robert.

[@jraelien5798]

Wow! I thought i respected Eddie already! This is yet another dimension. Thank you so much!

[@monasteryintibet]

This got me to subscribe 🙏 ty sir

[@patrickshannon4516]

Good video Robert thanks for posting this

[@shatwatbirahi4705]

Pelajaran ini sangat membantu saya sejak saya pernah belajar musik di Pulau Bali.

[@surfghost9121]

More cool stuff. May EVH live on forever. My favorite shredder out of all of them.

[@sethjohnson6539]

Man you got a really great sound coming out of that guitar dude you know what it should you know what that's a compliment to to that guitar player ready for Van Halen you know that beyond the legendary player

[@jonoftheford]

Amazing as always!

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

Thank you very much Jonathan!

[@jamessmede1100]

Awesome video, been wanting a video on EVH tapped harmonics

[@Reaper20000000]

1st song I remember EVH doing the trill harmonic is in Good Enough off 5150

[@wolfganghumboldt4830]

When you leave in those little bloopers in and you can hear the camera person (your wife I think?), it is a really charming touch.

[@steveelling9604]

Long live the King.

[@daaneshsharma57]

Love these videos Robert!

[@gtiman67]

Thanks greatly awesome chops

[@bertfrost638]

You are an amazing guitarist!

[@frankwithrow377]

Tap harmonics are one of Eddie's strokes of pure genius man

[@crazybillshobbiesandstuffd7652]

Thank you for the video

[@Terrybryk]

Love you Robert ...God bless You brother

[@BigBlackBe4r]

Insane playing buddy. What are you playing through in this video...sounds great. cheers

[@MikeWiest]

The first one is also in Fools from Women and Children First, without the harmonics

[@LayneBurroughs]

Trill harmonic is found in You’re No Good from VH II

[@georgeherrera9464]

Another great video Baker. Keep up the good work

[@brionmartin4748]

Still trying to learn my favorite lick of all time and having major difficulties. How would you tackle Drop Dead legs? I wanna be able to play it so bad!

[@themetalicarus0284]

The rolling palm harmonic thing might have been nicked from Gary Moore, but still cool!

[@louisflege3741]

Freaking great! Love this! I know there's a ton of time and practice in this stuff, but this just simplified my conceptualizing. I knew the fundamentals of the 12 frets higher, I just need time to put it into play. Thank you, Rick!

[@georgeshaw8925]

Great video Rob.

[@rick3747]

Edward like Bonham were genius not for their complexity(though they could shine in that dept when needed) but for their mastery of the difficult Swing. To me, as a drummer who had studied with Joe Morello and Joe Porcaro, Swing profiency is big key to making your playing fun, interesting and memorable.

[@jeffrocx8599]

Great video!

[@2715jedi]

Your lessons are da bomb.. Your tone is a Mega Bomb!!!

[@gstube1]

Eddie, amen!

[@rickdaniels1789]

That first one he does in "You're No Good" from the 2nd album, the Linda Ronstadt cover.

[@donaldyoung9838]

Hey Robert it's definitely in your fingers thanks

[@ELEVATETHESKY]

Cool video and playing. Eddie Van Halen rocks! Your sound is amazing! What are you using?

[@andrewnicola4336]

best lesson I've seen yet

[@rockitguitar1918]

Awesome lessons 👍

[@ernestoortiz8672]

That’s what it’s called, trill harmonic! Always wondered lol sounds like the noise you hear going underwater in a pool

[@daniscouten4586]

Hi this video helped me play better.

[@thelolguy007]

Awesome as usual Robert 👏

[@rebeldetail6134]

Awesome info thanks

[@jackmanganmusic]

Awesome video! What pedals are you running through to get that EVH tone?

[@scarzgalore9102]

When I 1st heard Women in love it reminded me of like.. Dying then you hear that playing on your way to Heaven it's that Beautiful

[@RobertMurphy-wm3ge]

Hell yeah dude Excellent

[@motrock2]

Very cool. Just curious what gauge of strings do you use on the Franky? Just the standard 9-42 like EVH used? What brand?

[@MoGumboFukUTubeForChngngMyName]

SRV used 12s… you can string your guitar right up with them and you’ll still sound like you. Stevie could play 9s on a $50 guitar and Eddie could play 12s on a $50 guitar… and Eddie would sound like Eddie and Stevie would sound like Stevie. People spend too much time trying to work up a “tone” instead of learning to play the guitar.

[@motrock2]

@@MoGumboFukUTubeForChngngMyName Some people have 2 hobbies. We play guitar and learn music. AND; we are gear heads and love to get tones of our favorite guitar players. Just so happens I have multiple hobbies. You shouldn't automatically assume; just because we ask a gear related question, that we not "learning to play the guitar".

[@bretttrommler756]

At the beginning of “Everybody wants some” he does a couple power chords and then does some weird guitar noise stuff. The first two times it’s like, some kind of weird harmonics. But the third one is this high bend that goes down and down with a lot of reverb. Very cool. I’d like to know how to do that.

[@coreywhite6011]

This is epic!🤘

[@SteveK-h5y]

To be fair, almost anything learned from Eddie will make you sound better. The man is a perennial treasure trove of genius ideas involving guitar.

[@Michael_Clayton5150]

You are GOLD! 🙂
