Eddy wrote "Aint Talk en Bout Love" when he was 14, simple with a 1 finger lead section and here we are 50 years later still try'en to get it right. Simply amazing.

COOL FACT - The sirens at the beginning of Runnin with the Devil is a recording of the bands car horns going off together which was recorded outside sunset recording studio's with a Shure 57 then they reversed it in the studio.

Gary Gnu love hearing that. Thanks Gary 🙏

[@poseidon3032]

Eddie had that funky style that worked fairly well. I learned the Aint Talking About Love riff by accident messing around one day. Whenever I showed somebody some playing, it was usually the first thing I would play. A classic killer riff that just stands the test of time.Thanks Eddie!

This video is even more important now that Eddie has passed. (RIP Eddie) Thanks for teaching us all of the great things that you do. I have learned a lot from your videos Sir.

Yes! Thanks so much for this! More Van Halen! Judgement Day is an amazing piece. Would be beyond awesome if you were to teach that song. Thanks again!

[@kylerbloodsoe7131]

Easy peezy, thanks

[@colorsinctees1994]

Thanks!!! Great job!!

[@PnutGalaree]

As someone mentioned below, the noise at the beginning of ‘Runnin with the Devil’ is a chorus of car horns. The horns were taken from the band's own cars, including Alex's Opel, Eddie's Volvo, a Mercedes Benz and a Volkswagen. They were placed in a box that were connected to 2 car batteries and a foot switch. They were also slowed down somewhat during production to get that eerie siren like sound.

[@HanValen]

Wow - Great technique (I wish I had) and great sound. Well done sir!!

[@CAP21]

I always thought Van Halen's "Little Dreamer" be a great intermediate song to learn

[@furyss1tv184]

Thanks eric.keep it coming.

[@leonmohan1708]

[@adamjg4]

The VH song that I keep coming back to the most is "Unchained" - very intricate riff with a magical sense of inner tension going on, that's hard to match.

[@BeowulfGaming]

same here, unchained and panama are my favourite, but aint talkin bout love has the best opening riff

[@Gibbo1050]

Nailed the tone and inspired me to learn these. Now I want a Striped guitar!

To me....Great video.. You really got me feeling it .

[@bweeks8869]

I got a Blackstar HT 5R and a BOSS ME 80 I think I can get close to your tone. I think the key is the reverb and the boost in the compressor section. Great lesson!

[@user-wh2wg3fj6x]

sounds really good man. I’m a big Randy Rhoads fan, and Eddie grew up watching both of them. They’re both a blessing from God. They lived in the same area 35 minutes away. America was going places. This was the best life. Rip Eddie and Randy 😇❤️😇

[@atbear]

Great vid and great job! One note that I always see on Runnin' With The Devil- during tutorials, everybody always misses that extra beat on the third to last note of the riff. It seems like it always gets skipped, but I'm not sure why...

[@Gstation9]

Hi Erich Guitar Sage - I love your relaxed method of teaching, your accuracy and detailed approach. The Van Halen segment was fun to watch. I actually transposed to Ab the Ain't Talkin about love tune and got a nice cool idea for the lead guitar scale which I found out was mainly pentatonic on 1 whole step up on the G,B,E strings. Cool stuff !

[@yourguitarsage]

Thank you, Michael 🤗🙏

[@cheezyridr]

you picked some of the very best VH songs from their catalog. listening to the first album through a good set of head phones is as magic as it gets. there are other artists with an album or so that's as good, but better is only reserved for hendrix. those 2 are the best, and most under rated (as) rhythm players in rock. nicely done, good content, i thumbed you

[@Goalier95]

I can't play for shyte, but I just love watching you play.

[@TomPetersonRefuseReuse]

Thanks, this is great!

[@TomPetersonRefuseReuse]

And man your tone sounds great when you're playing slow.

[@yourguitarsage]

Thank you my friend 🙌

[@GuyNarnarian]

Any tone tips? Besides the EVH guitar? Its hard to time those dives right using a Strat on the sliding riff of Ain't Talkin bout Love. To get anywhere near that tone I have to use a heavy distortion or fuzz pedal into my super clean Fender amp. It works fine for my needs but you really nail it on this video.

[@randydavis941]

in Jamie's Crying, the chord after the three finger on the bottom 7th fret. I always played on the 7th fret again, the top E string with my third finger and the bottom G and B string with my fourth and 5th finger for a full chord effect

Hello, i’m looking a good small amp 20/50 watt to do a similar tone of the runnin with devil sound but i didn’t saw a lot of demo online...may you can advice some configurations? Now i’m using IK Multimedia Board with pc and Guitar Rig Pro 6.

Hey Eric,Are you able to tell us what equipment you are using? I have the same guitar and a evh phaser and flanger along with a marshall origin 20 amp. I do have a freidman smallbox to cover distortion. Trying to get the sound you have but can't quite get it. Any ideas?
