Nice brotha 👍 love the guitar 🎸🎸! I'm thinking of buying the Kramer 1984.. is that the same specs as that one? Do you know

[@anxose]

i think that it's the same specs..not the same pickup ..and not the same Floyd..but the same feel!

[@erik814u2]

Thank you! The guitar I’m playing I built using Eddie’s same hardware, electronics and wood. Not too sure what the Kramer 1984 uses all around. Sorry.

[@hsuehwen]

man, you're really gonna cover every VH song aren't you

[@erik814u2]

I’ll definitely try. 👍🏻

[@pfh777]

Hey Erik, I’ve commented on many of your videos, I’ve appreciated your replies. One ask, and hoping it gets you to post again. Have you played Big River? It feels like a bit of throwback to earlier VH. Thanks for all your posts, they’re great.

[@erik814u2]

@@pfh777 Thank you! I believe I covered that one. Search my channel.

[@zap7378]

I have a question, and I wish you'd respond. You obviously have the talent, but more importantly the feel for what Ed plays. So when you practice a VH song, and you get into that groove of playing, do you kind of 'get it'? Like I mean ohhhhhhh i get this is why this goes from here to here to here? And if so, is it when before, during, or after you record your videos? Thanks again for the content!

[@erik814u2]

Hi. First off, thank you very much! Yes. When I learn a VH song, I really listen to Eddie’s feel first and then find it on the neck because it always seems to fall into place to where I understand why he played it the way he did and where on the neck he played it. Eddie had an incredible knack for not moving his hands too much when he played rhythm so I keep that in mind when learning his stuff. It’s always before I record a video.

[@No-ri7xs]

Lovely! Erik, how much money would I need to persuade you to make me a dolphin phaser (your 2011 video). Thanks

[@erik814u2]

Thank you! Sorry, I don’t build them anymore.

[@Van-Halen-Jr.]

learn to play Cathedral by van halen and play that i think it would be awesome

[@erik814u2]

I know how to play it. I’ll get it posted soon, hopefully.
