Van Halen - House of Pain - Guitar Cover

[@RandomStrangerDanger]

I'm speechless. Dead on. Underrated gem from 1984.

[@GeneSchmidt]

Aw man… thank you! How are you getting your backing tracks? I bought this amazing software, RipX from Deep Remix. I was able to make the actual “guitar-less” backing track in 5 minutes! I highly recommend it. It’s a game changer

[@markslima1557]

best cover i've seen of this awesome deep-cut, especially the solo dude you nailed it!

[@GeneSchmidt]

Thank you SO MUCH!!!

Holy sh*t! God bless Saint Eddie and you, mate. Spot on and man.... If VH had recorded 50 minutes of that outro and made it a thing, I would have bought that album. Well done!

[@GeneSchmidt]

Thank you so much for the super kind words and taking the time to watch ❤️ I love every tune off of 1984 and his tone on that record is my favorite.

This was posted 10 months ago?... How did I miss this one? Incredible as always, Gene!! Somewhere above, EVH is looking down at you, and just shaking his head in disbelief and wonder. Probably saying out loud, "That boy good!!" Great job!

I almost forgot how well you play Van halen sounds great brother. Have you broken out the " Little Guitar" .... just don't jump off the stage lol. .

[@GeneSchmidt]

Hahaha! Thanks buddy! I have a little guitar for the song - although it’s not as cool as the one I used to borrow from Paul Miller back in the day. I keep the acrobatics to a minimum these days. 🤣

[@floydfugate1179]

[@GeneSchmidt]

Thanks, Pete!

[@RonDodson9]

Nicely done! What are the chords underneath the A section of the solo? C#m9 perhaps is the first?

[@GeneSchmidt]

Thank you. Ya know it was a bit ago… and my chord naming knowledge is a bit weak. You should be able to see what I’m playing in the upper left hand corner screen. Either way… I may go back and tell you what the notes are in the chords. Thanks again and have a nice weekend!
