Ed made that song come Alive! nice video Marty.

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

He sure did! The Kinks version is cool but lord it’s embarrassing to hear their guitar solo when you have the mighty EVH solo in comparison. He was on fire man. 😎🤟🏻

[@yoyeo1900]

Sweet!! The pick hand was a lesson unto itself, in the pocket!! Late to the show but glad I made it...

Cool! It's an EVH kinda day off! I'm still jamming with the harmonics video (which somehow got me down the "I'm the one" rabbit hole) and I'm pumped about this video. I've half way played this but never took it seriously. It'll be good to get this one down. Thanks Marty!

Hey Marty I do have a question though. I know you have a Frankie Guitar, and many other super Stratz. Was curious as to why you chose the Les Paul for this lesson. Is it scale length? Easier to bend?

Another great one Marty! Really hard to do on a Les Paul though! The tone from the AX8 is spot on too! Killer.

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Thanks Andy!! 😎🥂

[@TomGrubbe]

It's easier to do on a Les Paul than a strat. There's no wammy bar in this song so he probably played his Ibanez Destroyer.

Great lesson was hoping for the second fill -

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Oops sorry man! ☮️

[@fuheroes]

Eddie just tuned by ear , just to get the tension right in the strings , same tuning as he did live so the recordings were at the right speed

[@5150show]

Allen Garber has lots on in-depth vids on Ed tunings

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Cool man!! 🙌

[@30pitchcleaver]

Bro, I got one for you (about his pick) and this is NOT B.S. Always a V.H. freak and way back they played Dallas so of coarse I had front row just to see what the Hell he did. Amazing enough he walked to the stage edge (while playing) and as he went into tapping, flipped his pick into the crowd and it hit me square tn the chest then fell to the floor. Everybody around dove to the floor but I was standing on it ! Directly to my right stands a HUGE black man and used both his hands to keep me upright as the people scowerd the floor. Eventually they stood back up & this man looked at me & said "still got it" ? I nodded yes and he said "Cool". So, long story short, Live he used a medium ! and I about lost my life over 1.

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

That’s a great story man! So dang cool. I went to Zeke Clark’s house in Nashville years ago and he gave me one of Eddie’s 5150 picks and it was a thin. He must have changed a lot. Remember he used metal ones during III era??? 😳 lol. I can’t imagine using thins for a whole show. I hate thins. ☮️☮️

[@30pitchcleaver]

@@Ranch5150SkinWalker I remember the metal era but cant imagine "Thin" with his attack & pin-point strike. But, his pick slides would come-off better ?

Do you have the evh shark or tried one?

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

I do not! I have contemplated getting one but haven’t been able to justify it. Made an unshark guitar build. Basically an explorer body with the same paint scheme…. But no cut out. You may have seen the video in my channel?? Anyways… if I can find a great deal on one I may snag it. 🙌

Second half of the high register licks he does his bends/licks in A major. Which is in 14th position.

@@Ranch5150SkinWalker all great guitars 👍

[@Larrygtek]

The tone sounds so “massive”, especially with the delay. I was wondering, is it really very loud in your studio as you play it, or does it just come across sounding that way? Whenever I try to get that tone, it ends up so loud my ears are ringing a bit when I’m done, which I’m not too crazy about.

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Hey man, I record direct at a fairly low level so I don’t get too much bleed on my vocal mic. I mix it in post kinda loud. (And add a stereo delay in protools). It’s all fractal ax8 with a Friedman BE and Friedman 4x12 IRs. 😎🤟🏻. Thanks for the comment 🥂

eddy used metal picks that's how he didn't damage his picks

[@Jaloja]

OO you said the "A" word.... : ( Marty... you are Authentic. Real Deal rocker. Legit guy. Gibson is just marketing BS and market positioning. You could smell it on the tires of the construction equipment they used to scrap their own inventory.. You can love the guitars and the sound but I know you don't love the corporate BS. :) Stay Legit! We all need it. Gibson can't buy what you are. They just rent talent and live off their purchased past..
