LIVE WITHOUT A NET SOLO | ERUPTION - Note for Note along with Edward Van Halen?!?!
Edward Van Halen's amazing "Live Without A Net" solo from 1986, played note or note and along with Ed. It seemed right to celebrate Ed some more, with Alex Van Halen releasing his wonderful book "Brothers". This took some work to get the timing just right, but was a great challenge and lots of fun! I’ll upload some tutorial videos, and a full Guitar Pro transcription of it in the next month or two, so please Subscribe and click the notification bell so you'll know when I do. Please check out the other videos on my channel too. Thanks for watching. Best, Simon Hosford, Melbourne Australia 🤘

Yngwie Malmsteen’s ’TRILOGY’ album note for note at 2023 Melbourne Guitar Show - Part 1

For something completely different for this years Melbourne Guitar Show, rather than play more Van Halen, I thought it might be fun to switch gears and tackle another of my hero's as a teenager: YNGWIE J MALMSTEEN ..and as I've been doing each time I get asked to play the MGS, I thought it would be great to play a whole album in it's entirety, in track order, and note for note...the 'TRILOGY' a...

The Boss SDE-3000 EVH and Eddie Van Halen’s LIVE WITHOUT A NET solo note for note - Part 1
Просмотров 13 тыс.Год назад
Recently I had the pleasure of using the Boss SDE-3000 EVH dual delay pedal, and it sounds glorious, so the only thing to do was to play some 'Live Without A Net', which was the era that Eddie used those old Roland rackmount delays. Another video will be coming shortly where I discuss the pedal and what was used :) Links: Boss dual digital delay pedal: www.boss.info/global/products/sde-3000evh/...

@@jamieseiple thank you so much Jamie! 🙏
This is otherworldly. Bravo!
@@bilanggoboy thanks so much Mike! and Happy New Year to you brother 🤟🤪
Excellent performance!!! YJM's amazing cover, EVH's perfect cover... What will be next? Eric Johnson? BTW, thumbs up, of course!
Aww thank you so much Eduardo :) and a Happy New Year to you xx
The timing to sync exactly as him playing it, impossible, but you did it. Awesome!
Thank you so much brother :) And Happy New Year to you! 🤪🤟
i love this song...the arrangement and the tempo
Thank you so much :) And happy new year x
PLEASEEEE COME AND DO A GIG IN LONDON!!!!! I would die for it
Oh man, we would LOVE to do that hehe.. there are plans in the pipeline so I'll be sur to let you know.. and of course I'll promote it on my socials when it happens. Happy New Year to you sir :)
i heard in your original upload that you would be posting a tutorial? im eagerly awaiting it! this rendition is unlike any other and youve really managed to capture all of the nuances. ive seen some other videos of yours and the likeness is uncanny, well done :)
Thank you so very much, that is very kind of you. And yes, I will definitely be uploading a tutorial for SURE! 🤟
How did you get the tone for eruption?
@@yehoshualevy3579 hi Joshua! I used a Kemper for that gig, and loaded in the “Top Jimi” VH profiles. Happy New Year to you brother 🤟
Incredible cover ! 😮

Simon, gee I've heard of some good evh lick impersonators,but you take the prize home. I closed my eyes and could actually smell the Marlboro coming from the headstock string. Simply amazing,thanks man.
@@miningmonkey760 Thabk you ever so much Jerry! That means a lot ;) I also have a full length 10 min solo on my channel that you might like then, where I play the whole solo in time with the footage of Ed. Merry Christmas to you and your family and Happy New Year 🎄🤟
@SimonHosford quick question, do you know at what point EVH would use his crybaby wah pedal? Was it on solos only? Live only? I was looking at a YT video from Dunlop engineer Bobby Cedro and he mentioned that Jim Dunlop made a crybaby for Eddie all the years that Eddie used it it wore out the pot and created a unique sounding way wah tone ,hence the EVH creation wah pedal....I would love to know when he used it because I don't recall him ever using it in early years. Thank you much!! Here is that video ruclips.net/video/S46UqM4bumA/видео.htmlsi=n4MLeCO5LxDavF26
@@miningmonkey760 I’m not sure actually. Eddie didn’t use a way much, not until Carnal Knowledge I think?
@SimonHosford yeah that's what I read on reddit and quora but don't really trust those forums too much. Thanks again mate!

wow!!!

Just Awesomeness. ❤

Unreal.
@@jamesmick8653 thanks James! And Merry Christmas to you :) 🤟🤪
Simmon you should have been invited to go on tour with Sammy! I'm not hating on Joe but he couldn't get the job done!! Thanks for sharing my brother 🙏 🤟🤟
Aww thank you so much Michael! And Merry Christmas to you and your family :) I grew up with Joe's guitar playing and music, so I could never hate on him either, but frmo what I saw online, I have to say there would have been many many other choices (Dweezil, Nuno, etc) that would have done a much better job. It was like he learned everything at the last minute.. but thank you for your very kind compliment my brother 🤟
@SimonHosford Sadly I think Joe was in it for the money! It was more like Chicken foot dose Van Halen. Peace my brother from down under! Keep doing EVH you know it brings a lot of joy to us! Thanks again for sharing Simon ROCK ON 🤟🤟👍🙏
GREAT SOUND !!!!
Thanks John! And Merry Christmas to you and family :)
Damn that was awesome ! What amp are you using ?
@@bamsjamsfromthevault1905 Thank you! I’m using the Suhr SL68. Great amp. Actually on my channel there is another video where I play the whole 10 min solo, and at the end I do a full equipment rundown. Just search my name and Live Without A Net.. Merry Christmas to you and family 🌲🤟
@ Merry Christmas to you as well. Awesome I will definitely check it Out. I have the new Metro MKII on the way soon. A lot like the SL68
@ ooooo really?? I hear that amp is incredible! Impossible to get your hands on one in Australia. I spoke with George though about it 🤟
@@SimonHosford ha ! Yeah. I’m on a 6 month waiting list. This wait is killing me lol. So gonna be worth it though. I dig the fact that it had a master volume
@ yeah but worth the wait!! 🤟🤪
Simon you have killed it here! It is quite unbelievable how good you are!!
@@sam271183 aww thank you so much. And Merry Christmas to you :)
Pretty astounding work there, well done. Showtime movie channel played this concert (I think before it was released on VHS) and I saw it at a friend’s house, my first real introduction to EVH. This solo literally changed my life forever. I was watching your video and at first thought “what’s this loser doing, miming along to Ed??? Then I realized the audio was you!!!
@@charleslivingston803 haha thank you so much Charles! That means a lot. It took a lot of work but was a very fun challange. Merry Christmas to you sir 🤟🌲
@ I don’t think anyone has ever seriously tackled the entire LWAN solo before. I know Ed said it wasn’t an especially good performance, but jeez his standards were so high. I think it’s a masterpiece.
@ so do I :)
AMAZING!!!!
@@Deogenes13 thank you so much 🤟🤪
Unreal!! Tight guys. Sounds the closest the original that I’ve ever heard. ❤️❤️
@@dreambeliever3652 Awww thank you so much. Hope you have a great Christmas 🌲
@ you too sir. Honestly, I think you sounded better than the original. 🤫
If I close my eyes I would swear I am listening to a live version of the first album performed by VAB HALEN. This was awesome
@@schlotdoglaser Thank you so much, that means a lot. Merry Christmas to you brother 🤟🙏
The singer looks like Kurt Russell went to a Halloween party dressed as Dave. All fun aside, these guys are amazing. I would loved to have been there. Not many guys can get the swing groove right on "Im the one." He fricking nailed it. He did great on Eddie's flagship solo Eruption too!
Is this on standard tuning?
Yes it is Adam :)
Love the amount of 90's "attitude" the singer has on Lie. It's like Faith No More meets DT. So effing cool!!!
@@TheStuntmanSteve aww thank you Steve! Yeah Andrew Grant is amazing 🤟
Love it, Bro!!! I'm Definitely gonna have to get me one of them badboys eventually!!!
@@Jared_Dill you won’t regret it 🤟
@SimonHosford 😊🤘🤘🤘👊👊 I'm looking forward to it. I can't wait!! So all those tones are just the guitar plugged straight in like no effects or anything and also can u add pedals and stuff to it like does it have an effects loop
@@Jared_Dillno pedals used in the front of them at all :) But yes, you totally could! Would also sound great with pedals, and yes it has an FX loop 🙏🤟
@SimonHosford sweet man, that's awesome. Thanks Man I appreciate you. Another thing too does it have Fx Built into it like chorus delay reverb stuff like that or would I have to get pedals of those and run it thru the fx loop and into the amp
@ no fx built in. Kind of like a regular tube head in that way :)
I'm sorry but the audience died about 3 weeks ago. Stellar performance chaps. They are unworthy of you.
@@leeder92 haha thanks for that. Yeah, guitar expo’s are a bit hard, but we had fun 🙏🤟
Man, you got that right! I would have lost my mind at that show. The guitar player is pretty amazing!!!
Well done. Do you offer lessons? I know pieces of the LWAN solo, but not enough to cohesively structure them in real time. Thanks.
@@09records1 thank you so much. And yes I do teach. Happy to help anytime 🙏🤟
That was sick dude!!! What rig are you using for this??
Hi there Cordy! Thank you for saying that. For that show, I was actually using a Kemper, and using the great "Top Jimi" Van Halen profiles. My preference is to use a Plexi head, but we weren't going to get a soundcheck that day, so I opted for the thing I'd been practicing with at home. If you want to hear my Plexi Van Halen sound, check out my more recent "Live Without A Net" video, or my Corner Hotel promo.. thanks brother 🤟
That’s absolutely insane you got a kemper to sound like that… i need that for my van halen tribute LOL. You’ve got the best sound out of all of these guitarists i’ve seen
@@cordymcwordson Awww thank you very much, that's very kind of you to say. What part of the world are you in? 🤪
@ Definetly not close, i’m in America LOL
@ that’s ok :) Where in America?
Dude Killer Bro!!!!! Love me some Good Old Whitesnake and some Classic Sykes Action!!!
Aww thank you so much Jared! Yeah me too,.. love old school Sykes!! 🙏
@SimonHosford No Problem My Brother! 🙂😁🤘👊🤍👍🤝 and Yes Absolutely Sykes Is Great. That's the Stuff Right There! Man I gotta get me one of them amps someday Maybe. the Headfirst seems to do the Sykes style Thing and stuff real damn well. 😅🤘
@@Jared_Dill Yeah those amps are UNBELIEVABLE!! If you wanna hear more of what that amp can do, check out a video on my channel called "12 tones, 1 amp" 🤘
@SimonHosford right as you replied back, just now I was literally watching that exact same video you just now said I should watch the 12 tones one, but even before you replied for me to watch. How convenient bro LOL. I read your mind I guess haha. I just finished it all though and wow that was an awesome! And the video demonstrating all the diffrent tones u can get out of the amp and it blows my mind how well it cleans up too if you just roll back off the volume a little bit while having a hi gain tone it sounds unbelievable I'll diffently have to get someday because I've never had a 100 watt head and id love to have one that can do it all and cover it all and it seems like well this amp is the one for me I will definitely try and get it someday maybe. and I'll definitely need to get a cab, too, since I don't have one yet either lol. And also I live In The US So would I be able to still get one of those amps
@@Jared_Dill Absolutely you can get those amps in the US now :) So whenever you're ready, Just get in touch with Jason through his website, and he'll send one to you 🤟 And yeah, how's the clean up?? not many amps can do that so well. As for a cab, don't stress too much about that, any 4 x 12 with Greenbacks in it will be perfect, and you can often find them second hand pretty cheap. Where in the States are you? 🙏
It deserves 1 billion views.
@@joaop_paulino awww thank you Adam :)
With the exception of the original show by master EVH, this was the most incredible thing I've ever heard on guitar, congratulations friend, I hope to reach your level one day.

Wuauu lo estaba esperando hace años este recital
Muchas Gracias Jorge :) 🙏
Could y'all do this for the entire Van Halen discography? I don't think that's too much to ask.
Haha.. not sure about “All” but certainly we’re talking already about Van Halen 2. Stand by. And thank you :)
@@SimonHosford I would love to see fair warning!
What in the actual f*ck is this? This is the BEST van halen cover I've ever come across. Perfect sound on the guitar and nails every song/solo just like Eddie down to the note. You guys are insanely awesome.
Man you nailed this ! Better than Levi Clay man. You going to transcribe this to guitar tab anytime soon ? I’ve asked Guitar World twice and they actually printed one letter but haven’t done it yet
Thanks heaps David! Yes I’ll definitely be doing a transcription of it in the next month or two :) Cheers brother 🤟🤟
Most of it is available tabbed in the right here right now live tab book. It’s played in a bit of a different order though. It’s a crazy ass tab though. It’s easier just to watch what his hands, what he’s doing, and work it out. If you’ve got the chops to play this, than everything you need is right here. The tab isn’t gonna make it much easier.
The vocals The guitar The bass The drums...........excellent
@@creepygeorgie148 thank you so much :)
I normally don't like Tribute bands, However, these guys nailed it. They were great. Loved it❤
Thanks heaps Brian! 🤟🙏
The last dive bomb at the end is my favorite Eddie noise that he makes. Makes me smile everytime, and you got it spot on!!!
@@JacksonCamblin hehe thank you Jackson! Yeah there’s some fun bits in there for sure 🙏🤟
I just spent the last hour and change in rapt astonishment. This is an *amazing* performance on so many levels. Transcribing all the material “old school” and performing it with such command, facility and importantly, respect… 😮 Virgil has been my drum hero since I first discovered his work with Derek Sherinian (and then Planet X proper) 20-odd years ago. As a ‘younger’ (40 y/o) musician from the States myself, I’m always excited to discover Virgil’s earlier Australian work, before he blew up on the LA scene. This is a real treat. All five players are absolute S-Tier musicians; I also love the occasional improvised/interpreted portions, where you put some of your own musical identities into the material! Bravo, all points awarded - thanks for making my week with this 🤜🤛
Thank you so much for your lovely words :) It was so much fun playing this stuff back in the day! Theres also a full length concert on my channel playing a full show doing Virgil’s stuff if you haven’t seen that .. properly shot and mixed 🤟🙏
Wow, that is most excellent. You nailed the tone, and the fact that you are able to play it at the same speed as Eddie is commendable indeed. I can’t play it at exactly the same speed, but I would love to figure out how you got that tone.
Thank you so much brother :) At the end of the video I do an explanation of all the gear 🙏🤟
@ Awesome, thank you!
Look like a bunch of tradies. Come on put on some good look.
Go away asshole
Surprised the RUclips algorithm hasn’t been pushing this more. 4 years? Come on RUclips - get it together.
