- In this video I demonstrate how to play the song Top Of The World by Van Halen. This song was off the album For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge and is one of myy favorite songs from the Sammy Hagar era. Eddie Van Halen was using his Ernie Ball Music Man guitars in this stage of his career, and they had a sound unlike no other guitar he had been using up to that point. He was truly inspired and was crafting some of the best songs of his career during this timeframe. I hope you enjoy the lesson and video. Please subscribe!

I remember spinning this CD for the first time. Track 11 started with this finger picked lick and took me to the Top of the World, a plateau of joy, happiness, and exhilaration. I knew King Edward was the alchemist of musical serotonin.
Thanks Marty! The day Eddie's passing was reported I was camping in the mountains on my bike. I rode up on the Blue Ridge Parkway and stopped at one of those high overlooks there. Played this on the bike as loud as it would go and rang that suckered through the valley! Tear in my eye and singing it WFO!
That's a great tribute man. 😎🤟🏻❤️
"Every single record there was a new Van Halen Trick" : This sentence is so true Marty! Thanks again for this new lesson!

didática, excelente. obrigado por compartilhar seu conhecimento
Eddie best that ever lived. Ripa for graciata. Much love.
Killer awesome lesson! I've always loved this track and album. The tone on this record is my favorite of all. I caught the Ozzy tune Momma I'm Comin' Home, & Dire Straights in there. Your Music Man guitar is immaculate and a dream guitar. Stellar video Marty! 😮🎸
Thanks Marty. Well done and you're always very helpful.
Thanks man, I appreciate it. Glad to share! 😎🤟🏻🎸
F.U.C.K. is one of their best records, Eddie was on fire.
What more can you say about Eddie? What a musical genius, thanks Marty
Your lessons get through to my brain and fingers so good!
But I still cannot get any Eddie stuff to sound like I’m any good at it!
Dam!!
Good stuff Marty!
Keep plugging away man! And having fun is the best part of it all. 🤟🏻😎
Great lessons! 👍 thanks Marty 🤘

You're very welcome 🙏🎸
THX for this lesson! BTW: Guys - do you remeber this cover of this song? Link: ruclips.net/video/Bxz6sMQDahk/видео.html
Wow thanks man! This is awesome! I really appreciate your narration and explanation in this one. Super authentic with “that guitar” and rig “VHF” Your tones are epic! 👍💯🙏
I'm telling you eddie wrote music like nobody else. In a way, it's almost like he created his own chords, his only raising awards. There's nobody else said before in the genre of music he did anyway. I love when you break his music down. And we can't hear what's really going on in there. Just magical How do you put so much in a small made it bigger than Wife. There will never be another eddie van halen.. And you're right those later years When he wrote music. After they got mister dead weight out of the way. And sammy came in. It became something nobody had ever heard before.. When I was a kid and dance tonight away came out. I thought this harmonic suicide was a keyboard. And I loved the song and when I come to find out. It was eddie playing that on guitar. That was a moment I wanted to start playing guitar.. It's just a shame that he had to leave so early. I just turned sixty. A few days ago. I would come to appreciate how fast life goes by. And you better be trying to live every moment..

Always enjoy your educational tips on guitar and Van Halen🇺🇸
You can tell which videos I'm going to click on based on whether or not there's a music man in the thumbnail ❤
Great lesson mate, would love a mama I'm coming home one soon 👍🤘
Are you playing the whole song on the neck pickup?
No I play most of it in the bridge. Lots of the solo is neck. 😎🤟🏻
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker I could never make my EBMM bridge pickup sound like yours and ended up swapping with a Holy Diver. (Mine is fuzzy and screechy sounding.)
Being "in the weeds” shows that you respect the man👍🏻
Thanks man! I just can't help myself. Ed was the man! Miss the guy.
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker yes sir,
My forever favorite band , had the VH on my binder in junior high memories.
I remember calling into a radio station on a Saturday night somewhere in the 80s and requesting simple rhyme and then they finally played it, and taping the US festival on a cassette tape,
Addie’s kids today they don’t know shit
I am glad I found this channel, my new friend.

Hell of a short u got there !!
Thanks for the time u put on these!
Love the song .. that EBMM sounds great
Eddie actually hated this song and wanted it not to be used on the “Carnal Knowledge” album. He said it was his most hated song in the whole VH discography. Although a lotta people like it.
I always heard him say he hated dance the night away
Valeu demais cara...😎😎😎😎😎
Thank you, really thank you!
I love this. Great job
Beatles. “My Girl.”
