      Nope ! Do not learn from this!! -he is well intentioned but, he is wayyy off!-- if you want to play it right then, learn from Carl at guitar 365 or from a guy named Dough Steele-- the clickeetee part with the harmonics drove me insane for years.. I was 15 when this album came out --On Fire was my favorite song I had to learn it but, between the artificial harmonics and the solo I soon gave up- 10 years ago or so I learned it the right way. one more thing -- one is tempted to play chords like the D in the 5fth position for easy of transition but Eddie would play them in the 1st open position -- try it my friend ☝ !!!

    However, I do I hear one notable difference between the way you’re teaching the song, and how Ed is actually playing it.
    Listen to ‘Van Halen - On Fire - Raw Guitar Track’, at 32 seconds in, and you’ll hear what I’m referring to at that point.

    It's cool to listen to you slow down the verse section because it sounds so fundamentally like later Van Halen themes, but when played at the normal fast rate, it sound heavier.
    You have a very authentic feel for playing Van Halen. My hat goes off to you. Do you think it matters that Edward held his pick with his middle finger and thumb instead of index and thumb? I've heard some guitarists say the angle gave the notes a different flavor and I think it was Nuno (don't quote me) that said it made palm muting easier or different.
