Van Halen - Ice Cream Man Guitar Cover | Guitar Tab

EVH had such a unique style which even made a simple rock'n'roll song complex. Eddie's timing and feel for rhythm, moving slightly ahead of the beat or delaying sections, is unparalleled.
This song is a real challenge but so much fun to play!
Tuning Acoustic (David Lee Roth): Eb Bb Eb G Bb Eb
Tuning EVH: Standard Tuning 1/2 step down: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
Watch until the end for an interesting fact about sloths :).
Intro (David Lee Roth): 0:00
Beginning EVH: 1:11
Solo: 1:41
Chorus: 2:20
Outro solo: 2:34
Ending: 3:00

That solo was wild for the time nobody was doing that in rock.

[@SlothTabs]

absolutely! I would say that EVH was/still is inspiring because he approached songs so differently

[@Halenrocks5150]

Dude you absolutely nailed this whole song especially the solo!!!!

Thiers nothing technical going on on that solo and you made look easy,sounded awesome.

[@HarraldToepfer]

More sloth tabs pleeeeease

[@hankramos8663]

Very good. Unfortunately I have to tap the lead intro because I don't have the finger reach.

[@SlothTabs]

thanks man! My hands and fingers are pretty small, so you are probably able to do it too! It might help if you experiment with your thumb's position. Moving it closer to the "upper string side of the neck" might give you some additional reach on the B and E string.

[@hankramos8663]

@@SlothTabsshoot dude I never considered my thumb position, I'll give it a try! Ty!

[@SlothTabs]

@@hankramos8663 I hope it works! :)

Same vai ibanez m8 respect

[@SlothTabs]

nice man! You just gotta love that guitar, so smooth to play

[@bigdave1302]

it would be great if there was one section where you played it slowly.

[@SlothTabs]

hey, I know it's not ideal in terms of sound, but you can slow down the video to 0.75x, 0.5x and 0.25x in the settings :)

[@crungechannel483]

Thank you for your GREAT PERFORMANCE❗❗👍👍 If possible plz my VAN HALEN cover too😊😊

[@SlothTabs]

Thanks man! I've seen your channel. You're very skilled! Keep up the good work :)

[@waylonmccrae3546]

Didn't David Lee Roth do the Acoustics Guitar Part on Ice Cream Man ?? 🤔

[@SlothTabs]

Yes, you're right. It's in the description but I'm going to add him in the chapter name :). The band's name still is Van Halen though :p

[@waylonmccrae3546]

@@SlothTabs Yes, I know Van Halen, seen them several times & was in a band for 5 years that covered quite a few of their songs .... was just making a statement for those who might not realize this was D.L.R. in the acoustic opening !! Please don't talk to people like they are Idiots !! Have a good day !! 🙂👍🏻

[@SlothTabs]

@@waylonmccrae3546 that wasn't my intention - I'm sorry when it came across like that. I didn't realise your question was meant to be a statement. I thought the title might have been misleading.

[@waylonmccrae3546]

@@SlothTabs it's all good , my apologies for being snippy back at you !! Have a good one !!

[@georgeallan6550]

During the solo I don't think your slide went down low enough.

[@juntamayo7228]

supot

[@DaviFrugeri]

Pretty much Hendrix stuff

[@kielerjim]

It needs more open B. Bbbbbbb

[@georgeallan6550]

Your hand looks like it's tied in knots.

[@georgeallan6550]

Van halen did not play the acoustic on this .............. Roth did.

[@SlothTabs]

sure thing! If you look in the description you can see that

[@utente1-xn3ct]

Pessimo suono!
