'Hot Dog and a Shake' David Lee Roth witb the great Steve Vai on guitar 🎸That would be Awesome!

[@jgboys1]

Great job! For many of us old timer’s this is the first song we ever heard from Van Halen. I remember buying the album back in 1978, like it was yesterday.

[@palimo6]

You are so right on about that!! I remember it like it was yesteday as well :)

[@deej19142]

Yeah I remember it too as my first album, problem now is I can't remember what I did actually yesterday...

[@jgboys1]

@@deej19142 lol! That’s the truth.

[@markr.devereux3385]

It took VAN HALEN II to get on board. I was a guitar player and found the debut album a little bombastic but soon became very enamored of the first one. I was stoned on acid when I purchased the album and had an out of body experience that evening. Favorites are JAMIES CRYING and ice cream man.❤️

[@czflute94]

Yeah, this is right on! I remember the first time I ever heard Van Halen like it was yesterday and I just about lost my mind (in a good way ☺). I was in college and we were driving around on a scenic drive in my friend's car with this killer sound system. All of a sudden I hear Eruption. We actually had to pull over as it was the first time we had all heard it. And then Runnin' with the Devil played. I've been a huge VH fan ever since.

[@borgonianevolution]

I was a freshman in high school when that album dropped. INSTANT fan. We used to have to cover all our school books to protect them and I would cover mine with old brown paper shopping bags. Then the first thing that would get drawn on them all was the VH logo before even the book title haha. Then of course by the end of the first week of school all the band logos were on them from AC/ DC, Boston to Zepplin. I have worn this album out on vinyl, on cassette, 8 track, and several CD versions still in the rack behind me here. R.I.P. Eddie the world shines a little less without you.

[@gtdcoder]

When I was in 5th grade I figured out how to draw the VH and ACDC logos, so all the kids would ask me to draw it on their book covers. But it wasn’t until 1984 came out that I actually started to hear the bands music and became a huge fan. I started playing guitar and haven’t quit since then. Eddie is the greatest.

[@jukeboxhero8137]

Boston, Zeppelin, Van Halen, ACDC. Some rockin stuff man! All my favorites🤘😎

Sophie, I'm learning how to relax while playing. You are a perfect example of playing relaxed.

[@SophieBurrell]

Thank you very much! I think it comes with time, but if I could give any tips I’d say try practicing with your eyes closed or in a dark room! It takes the stress away from having to know what’s going on all the time and you’ll get super familiar with your fretboard…so that when the lights come on, you don’t really need to see anyway ☺️

[@DamianS1893]

@@SophieBurrell Excellent idea... I'll definitely start playing / practicing in the dark.

Great comment. I will incorporate more concentration on relaxation when practicing scales.

[@HenryMPerez]

@@SophieBurrell I remember playing this song during a 4th of July Celebration in Oklahoma City, 1997! The weather was about 112degrees and the wind was blowing about 20miles per hour. During that time the sweat was pouring down into my eyes. I played the guitar parts as I was the only guitarist in our band “NOISE”. I was the only singer, also!!! Rough, I mean to tell you/after this song we played Hells Bells by AC-DC! The speakers fell off of the 50ft. Flatbed trailer, as it was our stage. Six, 4x12s in each cabinet, and 2, 15”subs, (the subs stayed). We just kept on playing and the speakers never lost connection. The stage crew just lined them up on the ground. Lol, hahahahaha, that was something!!!

[@skyhorseprice6591]

Never saw you before, but you're badass. To me the guitar is the most expressive instrument ever. You can do so much with it , from howling, weeping solos to shred to acoustic to huge polyphonic chords to jacking the whammy bar totally into some quarked out subdimension lol😅🥲🤟🎸. You can even _pray_ with the guitar.

I have the 50W version of that amp & I love it. This was the first Van Halen song I learned how to play. The reason I learned it was my High School mascot was a Blue Devil & we have the oldest High School Football rivalry in the USA & we had a rally the day before the game & not only was I a football player I was also one of the few Rock musicians in my class so they asked us to play Running With The Devil at the rally. Which actually took place many many years before you were born in the early 80's. I also want to compliment you on being one of the best Guitarists I've seen in a long time. Keep rocking 🎼🎵🎶🤘

[@paulschaefer4510]

I am sure EVH is smiling now, RIP. VH rose the ashes with a guitar he made from junk and created a mind blowing list of music that rocked the world. it makes me smile to see young people who get into that great old music.

Sophie, what a tribute to Eddie! I don't think David Lee Roth, would stay retired if you decided to join Van Hallen! That hat of yours has a very unique signature look. It is the same kind of look that makes Slash of Guns and Roses look like no other! Always wear that hat. Rolling stone would probably put you on the front cover in no time!

[@flex96]

[@tedjohnson64]

It’s fascinating to see how this song is actually played! And the contrast with technique as compared to your Pink Floyd covers. I can’t play at all, and had no idea… of the nuances that go into playing the guitar tracks on these classic songs, as traditional music videos are full of quick edits. Which makes it impossible to see what the musicians are actually doing. Thanks for sharing!

[@ColdPotato]

I really like how you pulled off the beginning. Even the best players I see cover it struggle with what to do transitioning from the bass line to the 'piano' effect, then to playing the main riff.

[@keything8487]

you make that appear effortless, i realize you have been playing for over a decade, but none the less you are amazing !!!

[@terryrutherford2114]

Amazing. Do you study Eddie's finger placement as he played it, or do you just play it by ear? regardless you are very good. I've been listening to Van Halen since the early '80s, yeah I'm an old guy, and to me you played that flawlessly.

[@SophieBurrell]

I learned this one by watching a couple of videos and piecing it together by ear ☺️ I haven’t actually paid attention to Eddie’s fingers on this one! Are they doing something particularly interesting haha? Thank you so much!!

[@PaulRhodes420]

I love the song, "Respect the Wind", Twister movie sound track Eddie did along with Alex. "316" is another good one he wrote for Wolfgang when he was born, 3/16/1991 What's so touching is, Eddie wrote 316 for Wolfgangs birth, Wolfgang wrote "Distance" for his Dad's passing! Kinda gets me right in the feels! ✌😎💨💨

[@wickedgit]

Amazing tone! I love that song! A tip is to turn up the mids even more to 8. I think Eddie used all the midrange on his amp. When i play it i just turn the midrange up almost to 10. The slightly down tuned B string is very important too. I have the 50w Katana mk2, the best amp i ever have got.
