Van Halen - Love Walks In - Guitar Lesson (solo), with Tabs!

[@SFBGuitar]

I just heard this solo yesterday! You nailed the stereo chorus sound of that era. Ed's sound these years was so essentially 80s.

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Hey Steve! Thanks for the comment on the tone... I actually added that chorus after recording, so I'm glad it worked LOL :)

[@JerryCherryBand]

Love your videos. You nail the solos and teach them perfectly. Great work. Thank you.

[@ponsau]

Such a great melodic solo. I had to watch you play it like 5 times just to soak in the Eddie solo greatness 😂😂

[@davidlambert5123]

This was a great tutorial. Well played!! One of the best lessons I’ve seen.

[@connyjohnson855]

Wow man, thanks a lot for this! 👍 I'm always very impressed with your wonderful combination of superb technique and total understanding of melody and frasing. It's such a joy listening to you play that I forget to practice myself... 😊

[@TonyFuentesTV]

This was total perfection! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Thank you Tony :) 🎸

[@ascentiall]

I like that you include the theory in it!! Super fun when I get the key right. Feels good haha

[@edwardglyons]

Just awesome! You nail every solo. Please consider again doing the 5150 solo. 😃

[@craigslist6943]

I was literally just looking for a tutorial on this the other day and was disappointed you didn't have one! Thanks man

[@nedlong5631]

Alright your back ! Thanks another great lesson. Pdx evh

[@josearalat]

Loved the music theory explanation at the end. Some of us do need that.

[@eisbaellsche175]

You do an excellent job in all your videos! It helped me a lot. Youre right, the VH tab book from cherry lane offerered the same upgoing run at the end as you recommended. I tried it a thousand times but finally came up with something what to me SOUNDS a lot more like Eddie. I remembered that his ingredients in his solos are sometimes the same. So I came up with the following run. It works very fine with me. He often used patterns that run on two strings at the same frets, the first string hammer-ons, the other string picked. So I play the ascending lick at the end: E string 8-10-12 (hammer ons), A string the same frets but picked. Then A string 12-14-15 hammer ons and the same on the D string picked. Then the same lick you showed that changes positions 3 times ( on the b- string at 8th fret) is played by me on the g string at 12th fret. Give it a try! It sounds rhythmwise exactly tlike Ed. I think you did a great job anyway. Cheers!

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Thanks! You certainly could be right. That section really challenged me because of how it's mixed in the song. I like your way too. Given Ed's propensity to improvise, I'd say you can't get wrong with either LOL :) Thanks again for the nice comment!

[@jaydob666]

Dude where have you been? I’ve looked at many tutorials but you’re the best!

[@The80sKidRox]

Dang PDX You give perfect lessons man. I can't get those tap harmonics though I even got all gained up too. Gonna have to just pick em. Rock on

[@mmikeyhignight8573]

Hey,I just found your channel, I love your work man!

[@alstiver]

Excellent breakdown! Thank you for posting.

[@stephenchaulker5521]

You absolutely nail eVh licks and solos...well done !! A request for ''5150'' and/or ''Best Of Both Worlds'' !! Rock on...💘🎸 🍒

[@ЕжиКкоторыйлюбитбенды]

Thanks to the excellent complete tutorial and authentic performance. First time on youtube, I've been waiting for this. Hello from Russia!

[@ЕжиКкоторыйлюбитбенды]

By the way, there is a fully guitar live version, will there be a full review of it? I would very much like to try to play this miracle entirely on the guitar)

How did EVH come up with this stuff unreal. Great job tabing it out.

[@HeddyPritasa-y3c]

Fantastic lesson

[@Footygodsarewatching]

Great solo played by Sammy hagar. You nailed it brother.

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Hey thanks bro! The solo in record was actually Eddie, but I understand where the confusion comes in because in the early days with Sammy, he would take the solo part live so Eddie could focus on the keyboards :)

[@Footygodsarewatching]

@@PDXguitarfreak yeah I had seen Sammy playing this solo in a film clip whilst Eddie was on the keys. I thought wow I didn't know Sammy could play that good. It's certainly a beautifully composed solo. Thanks for the lesson.

[@ЕжиКкоторыйлюбитбенды]

At some concerts, Sammy played, but it turned out much different than Eddie's

[@Footygodsarewatching]

@@PDXguitarfreak yeah I think now that you mentioned it, that sammy was actually faking the solo in the original recorded film clip. Very convincing though and confusing. Lol

[@SteveSingsThings]

Daaaaave! Hope you're doing well. I'll never be able to play this but enjoyed watching!

[@RebelTheUncanny1]

You are Gold, my man! Thank you for this. Sincerely.

[@carlhungus2521]

you have a steve lukather sound/style. That is one hell of a compliment

[@billwarkentin3630]

Very tasty, Dave! Thanks!

[@Eric-ok2rx]

@PDX Love your lessons; absolutely the best on youtube hands down (and your tabs are the only ones I always find to be 100% accurate). Have you considered a vid on Rainbow in the Dark? I think it needs the PDX treatment; can't seem to find any extremely solid tabs on it; I can see you already know it since you have a cover posted :)

[@xname662]

Awesome!!!

[@JJC333]

Sections would sound like octave clefs Section One - Treble clef 8va Section Two - Treble clef 8va Section Three - Treble clef 8va Section Four - Treble clef 8va then Treble clef Section Five - Treble clef 8vb then Treble clef Section Six - Treble clef Section Seven - Treble clef

[@lowcursedmg]

Hi can you please tell me where you get your straps from? Great channel !

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Thanks! Some of my straps (like the Gibsons) came with the guitars, but the majority I just simply bought at local music stores

[@asmrcharlie4605]

Dude, if EVH was still here I would swear he was the one that recorded this video! That was rad! I hate to request a song this way but could you consider doing the solo for “Dreams in the Dark” by Badlands? No one has tackled it on you tube. It needs the guitar freak!!!

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Hey Charlie, thanks for the nice comment! I'm not familiar with that tune... I remember Jake's Badlands, but only heard a few tunes. I'll check it out :)

[@Anthony-nk4ky]

Something about this solo reminds me so much of Steve Lukather

[@satiroglu44]

Hey man. I don't know if you did Jane from Jefferson, but if you haven't would enjoy listening your cover. If you did would enjoy a credit aswell. Stay safe.

[@EJH-jn6mo]

I noticed you're using a Suhr instead of that beautiful and expensive EVH signature behind you... is that because you had that set to a different tuning or do you actually like the Suhr's tone better or is it something else? Thanks

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Hi Ed, the only reason I'm not using the EVH guitar you see is because I keep the EVH tuned 1/2 step down, and this song is in standard tuning. :)

[@EJH-jn6mo]

@@PDXguitarfreak thanks… I’m waiting on my signature which is why I asked. I’ve been eyeing Suhr for awhile too.

[@lgmnowkondo938]

do you think Eddie thought about major/minor key or modes...etc when he came up with a solo? If he's improvising a tapping run, does he try to hit notes of a certain key or mode or is he just 100% seat of his pants?

[@eddiejr540]

Dave...little off topic...check out a YT channel called Johnny B Guitars ...his latest vid is a phone conversation with a guy that new Eddie...its a really cool vid...thought you might get a kick out of it since yur a big VH fan like myself...rock on my brother!!!!
