- The #VanHalen song #Panama has got to be one of my all time favorite songs. There is so much going on in this song and so many cool techniques that I had to do a seriously in depth guitar lesson on it. All of the parts are in this lesson. Rhythm, lead, fills, pick slides and more! If you make it all the way through this one you will be a better guitar player! Some many cool techniques in one song its hard to believe!

The emotionally devastating part of this is that Eddy was playing this stuff off-the-cuff and then all of us mortals struggle to learn & play it with modern technology and with hours/days/weeks/months & years of practice and still don’t get it right.
You can do it. Eddie was One of a Kind. The rest of us just need time.
You have put a lot of hard work and effort into learning Van Halen and the making of this lesson. Congratulations on your success. Jimi, Stevie, Eddie, their music lives on for eternity. Thanks for honoring Eddie. 👍🎸🙏😎✌️
Sure thing! We can all learn a ton from the greats!
People don’t realize just how hard of work that it really is. Eddie is the king of rock and roll, not Elvis.lol
Yeeaah!
I love the isolated track of his guitar. It's amazing all the little things he does in this song that get lost with the full band recording. It's crazy the huge tone he gets rolling back the gain to make the notes more clear.
For sure!
Easily the best guitar song ever. I think this is Eddie’s best work, there is so much going on in one song and every bit is just unbelievable.
Yep one of my all time favorites too. Perfect in every way.
@@BrettPapa most of all, I was remiss. Thank you for this and all your videos. Amazing job on this one especially. Apologies for not acknowledging that first.
Man, that intro. Perhaps one of the kewlest hard rock riffs ever written
Ed's best work is NO DOUBT on vh1 and fair warning. it's not even "available" for debate.

Thanks dude, you rock :)
Wow!! That was the best lesson on this iconic song I have seen. What a great teacher you are. Thank you so much for taking the time to break this up into understandable chunks, that this 75 year young brain can grasp. Your the best!!
John Russell (75 year young Rocker now in a rocker ;) in the U.S.A.(Born in Portsmouth U.K)
Sure thing John! Thanks for checking it out!
The breakdown section in this song is just a work of art. I don't how you can come up with something like that. I wish I had the opportunity to see him live in his prime.
We was and always will be the man!
I did see them in 1981 in Portland Oregon. It was absolutely Incredible! At the time the band was so new to me that I didn't realize was I was witnessing. David Lee Roth and all of the band were beyond belief. We had great seats, just off to the left side of the stage and slightly up. Oh how I wish I could go back to REALLY enjoy it again. RIP Eddie, he was the KING of rock.
“How many knew about that part?” Haha. Spot on man. Eddie is revered for his solo playing but us guitar players recognize his rhythm was just beyond devastating. That little chug on the low E is just ONE piece of evidence of that. Another is in Mean Streets. At the end after the “lord strike that poor boy down” Eddie does the pick slide (sick by the way because he feeds off the lyric and it evokes taking down the guy in the song). After that he holds the, I believe A chord, but chugs away on the low e. It’s a tricky thing to pull off. You need really good hand control so as not to interrupt the chord from ringing while you chug on the low E. Guy was a killer guitarist.
Very true! The isolated tracks make the Eddie thing even that much more impressive!
This needs to be a tone rig rundown. Some of the best guitar sound I've heard.
Thanks! I'll see what we can do about that.
Thank YOU. I’ve been playing this song wrong for 36 years! By far the most detailed tutorial I’ve ever seen on RUclips. Well done!
Thanks Daniel!
Brett is a great teacher and wonderful human being. If you really want to learn. He can teach you. He did me then I started teaching my son what I learned. He was 15. He is 17 now and better than I am. It must be a young thing. Thank you Brett from 2 generations.
That is awesome to hear Eric! Glad I could help you guys out!
Long Live The King RIP Eddie. He was the bar. No doubt. His hands were the dynamics.
For sure!
Great playing, man. Playing like Eddie is really difficult. He had such nuance, swagger, vibe. Then of course the tone was half of it. You have to get at least close for the parts to sound right. So much of his playing was built on that tone. He was a different kind of animal. Long live the king.
Yes he was! Thanks for watching!
After 2 years of playing pretty consistently, I can find I can handle most rhythm parts in songs I attempt, but this song’s rhythm pattern definitely intimidates me lol. Eddie’s soloing was mostly what he was known for, for obvious reasons, but his rhythm’s are insane. You really have to be a great rhythm composer as well as a great lead player when you’re the only guitarist in your band, and Eddie did that better than almost anyone.
Agree 100%
Nah, he's regarded as one of the best rhythm guitarists of all time pretty regularly
You Are KILLING It Brett. Keep the EVH coming. Now, a detailed breakdown the Beautiful Girls. Lots of nuances in this one. Like "Im The One," got have the swing feel and slightly odd timing rhythm under the vocal. Let's do this man! Thanks for these!!!
Thank ya! Those are some tall orders! Those swings are killer! I'll see what I can do! Thanks for watching.
Perfect tone and feel! Wow! That setup sounds so amazingly brown! Well done.
Thanks Andy!
@@BrettPapa Hey which amp are you using here? Guitar straight into amp? What else is going on here?
Dude! I've been playing this "ok" and I knew Eddie was amazing, but I didn't know all the hidden nuances in some of this stuff you broke down that I never heard. He was a genius. Thank you!
Yes he was! Thanks for watching!
1:27 "a bit tricky" is the understatement of all understatements. 'Panama', in my opinion, was the greatest riff of the 80's. Number two is Van Halen's 'Best of Both Worlds' but that's nether here or there.
Nope. It's the greatest riff SINCE the 80s
Not trying to be a hater but the honors of greatest riff of the 80s easily goes to Warren DiMartini for that insane intro to “Lay it Down”.
How you don’t have a million subs is mind boggling, seriously you’re one of the best teachers I’ve seen here on YT and TY for all your hard work you put in for us
Haha thanks man! Glad you like the vids. I guess all I can say is if you dig it share it and maybe I'll get there one day lol!
Great job, great teacher. Once I learned Eddie was a piano player, as am I, his knowledge of piano techniques comes through, which is unlike most guitar players. Very regular and common third and fourths throughout his playing. Your lesson shows this, whether others see it or not, but has opened up a few of Eddie's tricks and playing style to me. 2 years electric guitar. 58 YO. thanks so much
Sure thing. He was a great piano player. For sure it influenced his playing.
Eddie van Halen was a technical master and musical beast. He understood both technique and feel and took it to a whole another level.
For sure!
Thank you Brett, I have played guitar for 40 years and was always intimidated by Eddie, never even tried. Now thanks to you I got the courage and confidence to go for it. Now I am ripping up the fretboard with a furious revenge thanks to you ..!
😊
That is awesome! Thanks!
For all the drummers out there that song starts on the and of 1. So the count is. 1234..1&. Van halen songs never start on a downbeat. As a drummer i've learned this hell. Everything alex does or eddie is on the and of the beat.
This was an amazingly well done tutorial. You helped me fix a couple of spots that I've played incorrectly for years. Thank you!
Awesome! Thanks for tuning in!
The MAN would be proud. Good stuff.
Thanks!
Excellent l'artiste 🎸👍. Une très bonne continuation musicale à vous.
From this tutorial I can play them almost perfectly except for the pinch harmonics. Now 3 months after learning it from this video I learned pinch harmonics and it sounds so much better! Great tutorial amazing!!!
My Hero is Eddie Van Halen!!! He was the best ever.
Sure was!
Well done! Most people miss riding the lower strings while letting chords ring out when they play/teach his stuff. An excellent example of riding the bass notes is “Bottoms Up”, pretty basic rhythm but nobody has a complete and accurate lesson out there. Wanna do that one next?!
Great tune Brett! I have never learned that one but I'll check it out. I plan on doing more stuff off the second album soon.
That is some seriously nice playing. Thanks for the lesson!
Thanks Vic! You are welcome!
I appreciate your shit man. Because of you, I've learned every Van Halen song that I've ever loved. You're the only one that's ever been able to explain it and show me how to do it correctly. My ears never allowed me to hear it right? Because I'm self-taught don't read music. I just do everything by ear and I had some of the stuff somewhat but watching your videos I got it nailed now I play right along with you. I just want to thank you for the free videos. You have been a big help in my progression in my playing
That is awesome to hear! Glad they helped. More VH coming soon!
I appreciate the time it takes to produce these videos
You nailed that Brett. You kick a... Thank you for all the years of service.
Thank ya sir! Thanks for watching!
Most detailed Panama lesson on the internet. Subscribed!
Awesome! Thanks for the sub!
I seen Eddie back in like 86...i could not believe how amazing he was. Still the greatest guitar player i have ever seen live...ever and i seen alot of players over the years. I've never tried to play any eddie...but i'm bout to give it a try..thanks man.
Awesome! Such a fun tune to learn!
Unbelieveable tone on your rig..you should be commended for your authenticity.
Thanks so much!
im not a guitarist but my brain MELTED when i watched this, awesome stuff!
Haha! Thanks for checking it out!
Yes thank you,you are a very good teacher, one of my favorites. God bless Because of you and a couple of other guys, I can't believe I can play anything from Eddie Van Halen.😊
🎸king Edward Van Halen.
You are welcome! Glad they help!
You definitely need a huge raise $$$ the best I've ever seen teaching EVH tunes.
You are definitely THE MAN ! thanxxx for all your hard work
Lol! Thanks Thomas! Thanks for tuning in!
You sir, are truly an all American badass. 🤘🏻 Excellent lesson. And your tone is always sick. Wether it’s AIC or VH or whatever. Thanks for all your hard work on this one. Hats off to you!
Thank ya! Glad you like the tone and vids!
Such cool tone on this song, just the right amount of reverb and delay .
23:05 is where Eddie borrowed the "Alex Lifeson Chord". Tip of the hat to the mighty RUSH. 🤘😎
Great band too!
Man - nailed that Brown sound
Thanks!
Probably my favorite 1984 VH tune, Thanks man 😎🎸
Sure thing!
Great Lesson on Panama. I learned a lot more subtle stuff going on. I think I will break you by requesting “I’m the One”.
Thanks Craig! Yeah I know that entire tune but the swing is so tough!! If I get it close enough I will do it.
I could tell pretty much right away that this is more accurate than some of the more 'famous' tutorial channels out there. Not that I am knocking them but . . . Accurate is accurate.
Thanks Grant!
Awesome Eddie Lesson! As far as vids and books on Van Halen go, people have been paid more to do a lot less over the years. Love the attention to detail from the up picks to all the other freaky stuff Eddie would do. For anyone wanting to learn Van Halen guitar this is one of the best ways to go about it.
Thanks for checking it out Max!
Awesome tute for an awesome song......thank you for sharing!
Sure thing! Thanks for watching!
Great lesson. started with papa stache lesson 10+ years ago!!! thanks man!
Well thanks for hanging around again
Pick Slides!! Thanks for this one!
Sure thing!
Great lesson! I'm the One would be an excellent addition to your tutorial library!
Here's two links to two guys breaking it down really well:
@BenEller on the rhythm parts: ruclips.net/video/6X7o7rm2AI4/видео.htmlsi=2qkAX6DSBYcyPtjB
@PDXguitarfreak on the fills and solos: ruclips.net/video/XsSWhOViLmY/видео.htmlsi=ZEDwTW5Em7FPULDt
If I wasn’t already messed up in my head, now my pick is talking to me! Thanks
Awesome lesson and pick choke was hilarious.
Haha!
Thank you soooo much! Your work on this is FANTASTIC! You captured ALL of the subtleties perfectly! PLEASE do one on UNCHAINED as well as it is all about the subtleties in the playing- especially the upstrokes. Makes a HUGE difference!
Sure thing! I have done Unchained and a bunch of other VH tunes just search for them on my channel. Thanks for watching! Glad you like them.
Fantastic lesson with relentless detail ...but, the dive bomb after the intro chords is more than one string.
Best tutorial out there, THANK YOU! I also find it awesome that it's 55:55 in length. I thought they couldn't drive 55 😎 Brett, PLEASE tell me you did that on purpose!!!!!
Haha that's funny! Thanks for watching!
@@BrettPapa You're welcome. It's all I've been watching the last week!
Thanks, Brett. This was clearly a labor of love. I love just about everything Eddie ever did, but Panama is right at the top of the list. Thanks again.
Sure thing Wes!
almost got the intro down after an hour thanks!
Sure thing!
Very hard song. Long and thorough lesson. Very detailed and explained also. Excellent teacher and to the tee accurate note for note. Thanks 👍
Thanks Dave! Glad it helped.
Ok.. I’m the novice of novices… but I’m saving this lesson. Fantastic work! New follower
Thanks for checking it out!
Can't believe how accurate that tone is, Brett. Massive. Thanks for this vid!
Sure thing! Thanks for watching!
Awesome lesson Mr. Papa. You have been my favorite Hendrix teacher on RUclips and now you are channeling the spirit of Eddie. I would say you are ready to tour with Van Halen. Cheers!👍👍
Haha! Thanks man. Super fun learning all these old classics.
Thank you Brett, you did an excellent job of breaking this song down and teaching it for us. I think you do the best job of teaching all the way around !
Thanks Kevin! Glad you like the vids!
Holy shit man I started this video with my iPhone volume full up and you just blew my phone up with that ultimate brown sound!! That intro was out of this world good!!! You captured so much of the original tonal character it’s mind blowing!! Amazing!
Thanks! Glad you like the tone!
100% agree. Eddie was playing lead, rhythm,...doing fills...solos...and singing.....greatest of all time imho.
Yep one of a kind for sure!
Jesus, that tone is SPOT ON!!
Haha thanks!
I'm not really a Van Halen type of guy but this song is so awesome. Thanks for the lesson. It'll give me something to chew on.
Sure thing!
What a tone
Thanks!
Nailed it, excellent tone and playing thank you for going slow! I usually watch lessons that include tabs because most go too fast for me! However, you showed exactly where to put your fingers, now getting my fingers to go there is another story!
Sweet! Thanks for watching Phil!
Steve Lukather. Done! Lol! Love EVH but Eddie's response to the question, What's it like to be the world's greatest guitar player, is priceless!
Luke is a monster player and good writer as well.
Brett, I really dig the emphasis on the details. I think some of what you are getting into here is the sensibility Eddie derived from "playing his amp". I think the kind of detailed inflections beyond the notes... from the "feel" to the synergy between the hand manipulations feeding off the interplay of standing in front of a cab. I think that is an important part of why he wrote and played the way he did. Fantastic too to see the "line work" of passages he chose to construct his sense of melody and swing. He really had an authentic way of playing through with imaginative playing that was mindful of the past, but progressively pushing forward.
Yep. Eddie was the man!
Amazing video! You did a fantastic job delivering at the right pace and explained all the different parts perfectly. Keep up the great work.
Thank ya!
Man the tone is so sick
Thanks!
Take your whiskey home man great teaching ED was best ever what a loss of a one of a kind musician Rockn Rumsey
That's a great one!
i MUST AGREE
Ya not half bad yourself there PAPA,killing it my man!This stuff is hard for me my brother,but I love trying.You're a great teacher.
Thanks for checking it out!
Awesome. 🎸👍 I'm very happy about it.
Thanks for checking it out!
Thank you for such a wonderful lesson, Brett. I hear that pinch harmonic at 13:00 as A string third fret.
Sure thing man. I'll have to listen to it again.
I love how you never miss an opportunity to express your opinion on Eddie being the goat.
Cause he was lol! One of a kind!
Yeah my first finger DEFinately feels it! lol Thanks Brett:)
Sure thing!
Dude my brain goes haywire listening to this. It’s awesome
Haha! Good stuff by the king. Eddie was the best!
actually thought it was the isolated track in the opening excellent well done
Haha thanks!
I’m with you Brett…there are plenty of greats…but EVH is my guy. Great lesson. So many people focus on Eddie’s solos…but his rhythm playing was soooo tasty. If you haven’t seen it already, check out the live version of Amsterdam. It’s amazing to think all of that is coming from just one guitarist…lead, riffs, fills, rhythm and singing backup…the guy was such a beast.
Yep great tune! There is a clip of him working out that song in the 80's. So cool. Love that tune. Gonna work it up soon.
Oh my goodness you are one of the greatest human beings on the face of the earth. Thank you so much for this lesson and thank you for the laughs during this lesson I had so much fun thank you! thank you !thank you!
Haha! You are welcome Aaron! Thanks for checking it out!
Eddie is an extremely tough act to learn to mimic. His expertise in playing concurrent rhythm and lead lines is what made him EVH. Mick Mars is another good example of someone who’s a master at doing that and most would agree Mick is a talented guitarist, but nobody except a tiny few know how good he really is. It’s extremely difficult to play both simultaneously and make it flow and sound as a coherent line of music. But Mick and EVH did it two different ways, the EVH method is the skilled use of effects in addition to his skilled hands as where Mick relied very heavily on just his hands 🤷♂️ You can get an EVH sound with good electronics but the only way to get Mick Mars tone is to literally play exactly like he did. But overall mastery still goes to EVH. Man was a genius.
AGREED MIck Mars is one of the best and Crue had hits because of his MOTOR tone and Vince's voice were a perfect match!
I mean really... She keeps her motor clean coming outta Vince's voice being driven by a guitar sound that was THE ENGINE of the LA sunset strip! EVH and Mick Mars are forever legends and glad we still have Mick with us.
Mick Mars is most definitely UNDERRATED.. Fucking Guitar God. I loved Randy Rhoads as well.
@@mercedese5507 but EVH is GOAT tho. 🐐
THANK YOU!!!!
This is GOLD!
You are welcome!
cannot get over the tone here, Brett. siiiiiiiick
Thanks!
talk about HUGE tone ...man you found it ..you rock papa
Haha thanks Jason!
The sound of heaven! Man, this is gold.
Haha! Thanks!
Very very thanks Papa!
Sure thing Fernando!
Dude, your tone and technique... love it.
Thanks! Glad you like it!
Your tone is spot on dude
Thanks!
You have the best personality.
Easy to learn from you as well.
Great teacher.
Wow thanks! Glad ya think so. Thanks for tuning in!
That tone is fucking great man and what a great video thank you for your time and communication on the small details 🤘🙏
Eddie forever 🎸💯❤️
Thanks Ronnie! All hail the king haha!
Great lesson , great playing , great tone and GREAT respect to the King 👑
Thank ya!
Brett, that is fantastic and super detailed!! I have always loved Panana, but played it kind of approximate, no excuses now! thank you so much!
You are welcome! More VH coming soon.
Great work Brett, Had a blast just watching without my guitar in hand. You even nailed the tone and every little nuance !!! Great teachings. Will definitely take a stab at learning this !!!
Thanks for checking it out!
you are so good. thanks for the lesson.
Sure thing Simon! Thanks for watching!
RIP EVH 😪 Cool lesson! 🤘😎🎸
Thanks Sam!
Nice job, Marshall sounds great.
Thanks John!
This could be the best video on YT!
Haha thanks!
