    So much of that Eddie vibe was all about the rhythm and swing. Sort of simple idea but delivered with so much kinetic energy. Thanks!

      Yep , watching Satch nearly butcher all of his songs was evidence of Eddie's swing.
      Satch is an awesome player but man was his covering of Ed's songs really flat.

      @@TheAgentAssassin You do know that Stern performance was basically last minute, right? I doubt any of us would be able to do half as well as Satch did with 24 hours notice.

    As Eddie once said...."I cheat. Why make things hard?"....Whether it's this, or his EVH Scale/ Symmetrical Scale ideas, or his pick on one string/ legato the next string licks or of course tremolo picking and tapping...Eddie was the MASTER at taking a simple concept and milking it for all it's worth.
    Even his synth playing. Everyone had access to the chords in JUMP and the solo isn't that difficult for a trained pianist....BUT he wrote the damn song and when he hits the keys after the solo it sounds epic...
    Eddie is an endless treasure chest of great idea's. .........Hope you are feeling better.

    Great vid. That lick is really similar to the one at the start of Eruption, only it's not in A minor and starts on the open E string rather than the E note on the B string. A nice one to learn either way.

  • @freeatlast1963

    That lick sounds amazing. I think he does a repeating version of this on the 5150 song - in the 1989 Tokyo.

    @johnmcmahonBXLA Год назад +2

    This lick was used in Eruption, Somebody get me a doctor, 5150 etc. and Ed always begins the open E string with an upstroke followed by hammers (including pull offs on the B string) from nowhere.

  • @DustyD-vv8xb
    @DustyD-vv8xb Год назад +1

    This riff is similar to the riff page plays at the end of the solo in rock n roll. Pentatonic shape pulled off to an open string in a loopable pattern. Despite the licks being technically near same, the result and style comes across very different when applied. Nice video bro, made me feel like I was hanging out at a guitar shop with a friend!

    Eddie used it before the VH II album. Second lead break on "I'm The One", off VH I album. I know this because I've tried to replicate it for decades, but no 'real' success.A trick in the hearing of it I guess, with all the echo and reverb Ed had going on back then.Thanks Brotha, for figuring it out and sharing it, and I pray you get well soon! Thought your demo of the Soldano SLO 30 was great. I'm going with the new FRIEDMAN Vintage 'PLEX' amp, though, for my next tube amp, once they're available. Had an EVH 5150 III 6L6 Mini a few years back, then sold it. A great amp, but the FRIEDMAN PLEX amp sounds much better to my ears.

    One thing in my 50 years of being a music lover and critic is to see someone slow it down to the point it’s almost crawling so to speak. George Lynch did it with Heaven Scent and it’s incredible. Just something cool about seeing how slow you can play something instead of how fast you can play it. I have heard bands speed up songs and ruin them. KISS has done this a few times. I always thought KISS was much better playing slower back in the 75-77 era. Metallica has always been great at keeping songs at the correct speed and it transfer very well live. It’s a true art
