Van Halen - Hot For Teacher Intro Guitar Solo Lesson, with Tabs!

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Next video will be another Van Halen lesson. Thanks everyone for watching! :)

[@edwardglyons]

5150 solo?

[@heyjarrod]

I guess the D string pattern could also be Locrian!? 🤘🏻🎸🇺🇸

[@justicewithjudgefleischer]

great job dude!!!

[@DannyGrady]

There's no better guitar instructional on the internet than this channel. Cheers.

[@Charvel1980]

Excellent. I never realized those extra notes were in that descending part. You are the master.

[@littlechrisvanhalen8783]

Great Job!! Always a perfect lesson to learn Van Halen stuff!. We Van Halingers nerds need more videos!! Thanks sooo much from Austria CHRIS!🤟😎🤟🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏👏

[@kramerbaretta6383]

I’ve been playing this for years, but I always learn something from you Dave! Spot on as always.

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Hey bro, thanks for nice comment. It's funny because I always just kind of winged it before too :)

[@The314moses]

Thank you SO MUCH!! After watching at least a half dozen other videos on this and getting increasingly frustrated as I went, I finally found yours. Finally. Someone who not only knows what they're doing, but who can also communicate very effectively the information they're teaching. Bravo, and well done!

[@K.V.H.]

As always, you nailed it! R.I.P Eddie, the greatest

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Thanks Kyle! :) 🎸

[@barrytaylor8354]

dude i just wanted you know that because of you, i have decided to pick up my guitar’s again and and my ultimate goal is to play the Canyon club with my brother in santa clarita, i live in valdosta ga . but wanted to say thank you for the inspiration and the knowledge you have provided to all of us. Barry Taylor

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Hey thanks Barry, that comment means a lot to me. I’m very happy to help keep rock guitar alive 😊

[@DolanM13]

Thanks so much for the taking the time to bring these videos to us mere mortals! They have helped me with my playing big time!

[@edwardglyons]

I just did this awesome lesson. Thanks so much for making it super accurate. I was playing the 3rd fret mistake you mentioned. Please seriously consider doing the 5150 solo. I know you'll make it as accurate as humanly possible. It's just how you roll. 🙂

[@joshwmusic6838]

Wonderful lesson mate! Great, I love this newer format, even MORE in-depth than before. Great stuff

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Hey Josh, thanks very much for that. Glad you are digging it! :)

[@guitarhaven6807]

Wonderful lesson PDX. I like the big red arrow to permit one to link the tab to what you are playing. At EVH's speed, it would be very challenging to pick out * each individual note * in the fast riff. So just do the same pattern while making sure you know where you started and where you intend to go. Happy 2 hear you are still contributing (last vid you posted). As a request you should try VH's spanish fly. Rock on

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Hey GH, thanks! You bring up a good point about repeating the pattern and simply making sure you know where you intend to go. That's very EVH-like. In fact, sometimes I feel a bit silly trying to get EVH's playing down to every single little nuance, considering even EVH himself didn't care about replicating the records... he just played. :)

[@CarrigansGuitarClub]

Reading my mind - knew the song when I was 14 - meant to relearn it.....now is the time!!!!

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Hey CGC! Have fun with it bro! :)

[@edwardglyons]

Back for a refresh on this great lesson.

[@eddiejr540]

Dave..I’m guilty of hacking this up... it was those little 2 or 3 ending notes that transitioned to the next string that messed me up...this is a very syncopated lick and every note counts or you will be off....thanks so much...you are the man!!!!

[@eddieangels4029]

Super lesson! Greetings from The Netherlands.

[@aaronholland5183]

nice man--People also put extra notes in the very A minor/pentatonic first tapping/pull off lick in Spanish Fly. You nailed the swing after the tapping lick which is arguably the hardest part!

[@marcmaroni132]

Great Lesson Dave!! Thanks for making it so accurate. I have butchered it for years... Also thanks for teasing me with the Jackson. Please let me buy it. LOL Take care

[@GuyNarnarian]

Hardest part of this for me is knowing when to come in. At least on the backing track I have, every time I try to get it in time, I'm always a half second early or late. I've never looked at the time stamp of when Eddie comes in, that would probably help!

[@Hetriani]

Awesome!!! I was playing it wrong! Thanks bro!!!

[@wildchild01]

Another great lesson

[@TonyFuentesTV]

Love it! It was perfect. 😎😎👍👍

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Thanks Tony! 😁

[@diverdown1982]

Excellent. Btw are you using your thumb to hold the F# note in the rhythm part at the end?

[@HanValen]

Excellent Lesson!

[@123pwop]

Thanks Brother, Your the BEST !!!!!

[@vanillaslice3016]

Awesome!

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Thanks! :)

[@justicewithjudgefleischer]

Also...how about the intro to Women in Love!!!

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Yeah, that would be a good one for sure bro :)

[@alfredjones7619]

Thank You for the great lesson. Would you please create a Last in Line solo lesson by Vivian Campbell/ Dio

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Hey thanks Alfred! I've been thinking about doing that one... I did a cover of it previously (dressed as a chick LOL) on KZbin, but I admittedly improvised the final run. I'll need to go back and take a listen to see if I can better pick out the actual notes :)

[@Howdy699]

Any chance of doing some more accessible videos? I love your channel and I love your videos don’t get me wrong. Just wondering if you could post easier solos to learn? Lol Keep up the great work

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Hey Howdy, thanks! I think I have a few that are a bit easier that you may want to consider: I Love Rock N Roll, Whole Lotta Love, Bohemian Rhapsody, Wanted Dead or Alive, Jessie's Girl, etc.... but if you have anything in mind, let me know. The queue is long, but I'm always open to suggestions. :)

[@JJC333]

Sections would sound like octave clefs Section One - Bass clef Section Two - Bass clef Section Three - Bass clef 8va Section Four - Bass clef 8va

[@inabajackyworld178jacky]

ヘビメタギタリスト登場！🍒🍒🍒＆👍👍👍

[@gstube1]

Great vid! Are you using EVH pickups? They sound really wooly, his tone along with his classical phrasing makes me think of a clavier

[@lorenzodegani2669]

Come sempre Fantastico ok.. CIAAO grazie... Yeeess

[@reneraymond7807]

Bravoooo!

[@ThisHandle744]

How do you keep the other strings quiet? I’ve always struggled with that.

[@matthewward5813]

I can play most of Ed's stuff and have been playing for almost 40 years. But this intro has always been my Achillie's heel. I just can't physically reach the 3rd and 7th frets at the same time with my fretting hand. any tricks?

[@eyank57]

Is the best 'is the best 👍👍☝

[@naplesguitar4186]

Awesome, thanks! What guitar is that?

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Thanks NG! It's a Jackson DK1 built by their custom shop :)

[@gregtaylor1939]

Are you using your palm of the tapping hand to mute the strings

[@TheGuitarFretZone]

nice

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

That guitar looks Jacksonish, but for such a fancy piece, there's no binding, the headstock looks a little short, the logo script looks short, can't really see it, and the fret markers aren't quite curved enough. Looks similar to a custom shop Dinky with the bolt on neck. Pickup rings are not standard issue. Been playing Jacksons for a long time. Never seen one like this before.

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Custom Shop Dinky. It's funny because when I bought it, the price was really good so I questioned it's validity. Did a little research and found out that Jackson made a few of them (it was not a one-off, but a run... I can't remember, but think there were 4 or 5 built).

[@alcoustic5297]

🤘🤘

[@PDXguitarfreak]

🎸❤

[@garconimunster]

What I can’t figure out is how to count the time and when I’m supposed to jump in, it feels like it’s off beat when EVH plays it and I just can’t feel the rhythm no matter what I do.

[@threadbxre]

my hands are in pain but atleast i know the opening

[@123pwop]

I agree EXCELLENT lesson, BUT......... when I TRY to play it up to speed, it all goes to mush ! Its over BEFORE I`m halfway there !! And I`m not a novice player, and I practice...practice....practice ?? HELP !!!

[@pthibault630]

Everyone plays it wrong? 🤔 What if I've always played it correctly?

[@PDXguitarfreak]

😊

[@justicewithjudgefleischer]

Dave…give us 5150

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Ahhh yes, here we go with 5150 again LOL :) I know I need to get it done, Dave... just need to figure out how to better isolate the lead guitar :)
