Learn How To Play Van Halen Somebody Get Me A Doctor - Guitar Lesson - Rhythm and Lead Parts

- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2024
- In todays lesson we break down the epic #VanHalen tune Somebody Get Me A Doctor! So many killer techniques are in this one that it is totally worth learning from beginning to end. The song itself is fairly easy to play that I think pretty much anyone can do it with a little practice. The guitar solo on the other hand is a tricky beast. It's on of my all time favorite Eddie solos so I do my best to break it down as close as I can to the original. Of course I'm no Eddie so cut me a little slack haha! I think we nailed the tone pretty good though! Have fun with this one!

My favorite solo that Ed ever played…So melodic and intense.
Yep one of mine too. Straight up fire!
Edward came to us from the heavens. Love it.
Yes he did!
I never appreciated the complexity, and creativity of Van Halen's playing, until you broke it down so us mere mortals could understand it🤯
Yep he was the king!
O.M.G. You get better and better and better! My face is melting just watching the intro. God bless you and Eddie.
Haha thanks! And yes God bless Eddie!
YES, BRETT! this video is bringing me to tears with that killer tone!
Haha thanks!
This is one of the most accurate lessons of this track that I have seen on YT - thx!
Awesome! Thanks for checking it out!
This is excellent! You nailed the tone and all the nuances that most miss. Fantastic job! 🤘
Thank ya!
@@BrettPapa You're welcome!
A man, A legend ,A way of life. Edward van halen. Thank u .
For sure!
Also, your tone is RIDICULOUS. So great.
Haha! Thanks. Close as I can get!
Yes I bought a frankenstrat about half a year ago and I love it love it love it love it love it love it
I can see why! They are amazing!
Best tutorial on this epic song ever
Thanks! Glad ya liked it! More VH tutorials coming soon!
Good Lord that tone 😮😮😮👏👏👏
Haha thanks!
holy smokee, i came here for the lesson but i replay the intro instead, the tone is so good man !!!
Haha thanks!
Awesome instruction your one of my top teachers on the net:) Ty Brett!
Wow thanks man!
Moat accurate breakdown of this tune I have found, thank you
Sure thing!
I've watched you grow as a teacher and guitar player!
That was some sweet playing!
And thanks for all the great lessons! And the great guests
Thanks Bill! Glad you liked it and thanks for hanging in there with me all these years!
What a pleasure, thanks to your lesson, to play Eddie killer riff
Thanks for tuning in!
Subscribed!!! Awesome job, I'm taking one of your courses. Great stuff, it's really improved my playing while have a great time playing. Thanks Brett
Awesome! Thanks for the support! Glad you like the course and thanks for watching!
somebody get me a papa!!! awesome man
Lol!
AWESOME AS ALWAYS!!! Please consider doing a Van Halen course. Thanks for another EVH tune!!! RIP EVH.
Thanks! That would be a tough one haha!
@@BrettPapa Yes I know it would be and time consuming, however, you are one of the very few EVH masters that can teach extremely well. Thanks for all you do to help put an EVH smile on our faces!!! 🙏🏼
Awesome lesson,now I've got my work cut out for me.
Recently subscribed Brett, loving your Jimi & Eddie riffs.
Amazing playing keep them coming wish that I had your talent, thank you 👍
Thanks Shane! More of both on the way!
Man, thats a killer main riff
Thanks for all your hard work figuring this out ..!
Sure thing!
Amazing analysis and your love of VH really shines through here!
Really great attention to nuance and detail.
Also, I like that you called out Eddie’s unusual tremolo picking technique. I call it “the hummingbird” because the continuous smooth motion and fixed yet floating position reminds me of a hummingbird. Lol.
Thank you for this!
Thanks for checking it out. Hummingbird makes sense! More VH coming soon.
got my Frankie from Sweetwater as soon as they came out and YOU are correct...plays and sounds killer.....DON'T know why it took you SO long to kick out these VH jams...
Feel Your Love Tonite was one of your first VH lessons BUT you totally "da Man" Brett......luv ya brah!!!!!
I've had a different one for a long time but man the Frank is just the best! Right back at ya! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for braking this down. I had some trouble working out the details. I like your enthusiasm.
Just did a build from a plain painted Strat body, and parts. Now I have a guitar I can keep down-tuned. It makes this much easier.
Sure thing! More VH coming soon! Always good to have a guitar that stays tuned down.
@@BrettPapa That's good news. Your teaching style is good. Not too slow, not too fast.
Friggin rippin.
Haha thanks!
King Edward… just bow down. Dude is the greatest.
Yep
great playing and thanks for the segment with tom and brent
Tom and Guthrie I'm Brett haha! Thanks for watching!
@@BrettPapa ugh. yes, sorry. for some reason i was thinking brent mason. i'm a dummy.
You nailed it. Thanks.
Sure thing! Panama lesson comes out tomorrow!
Good job teach.
Got it first time through.
Awesome! Thanks for checking it out!
I've seen them 5 times in concert in the Boston Garden, the first five tours with DLRoth.
Nice!
Great lesson Brett! Love the help with the nuances. Oh the things I've been missing over the years. I wore out this album with the "lift the needle, drop the needle, repeat over and over and over and then some!
Thanks! Yeah its a fantastic album! More VH coming soon!
Awesome and amazing tone 🙂
Thanks!
brett hands down this was the best lesson on this song which is my absolutely fav VH song thank you for this it made my day with this vid stayed up most of night practicing it thanks brother
Thanks Dan! Tons more VH coming soon!
Duuuuude!! Rock n roll!!
Woooohoooo!
That's about 2 long months of the best homework ever right there! Cheers, Brother
Haha! More on the way soon! Panama is next.
Nice chops Brett!!
Thanks!
yeah boy!!!tone is spot on papa ,thanks for the lesson
Sure thing Jason! Thanks for checking it out!
Great tone!
Thanks!
I play the repeating lick a little differently. I keep my index and middle fingers in place and move my ring finger on and off the middle string so I can play the riff repeatedly without moving around all that much.
Great guy.. and teacher
Thanks Jack!
Tone is incredible!
Thanks!
Dude you ROCK!!!!
No you rock!
Very good ! best tuto for sure
Thanks!
So cool! Love your playing 👍
Thanks Ed! Thanks for watching!
Nice!
Thanks for watching!
Great tutorial
Thanks! More VH coming soon!
@@BrettPapa played it last night freaking awesome
EVH the G.O.A.T Great lesson, great song Thanks Brett!
Yes he was! You are welcome!
Excellent! Thanks man! Btw, where are your cabinets?
Thanks! I use the OX Box for most of my videos to control the sound a bit more.
That vh tone is impeccable
Thanks!
Wow! I think I will leave the solo for real guitar players. The rhythm section is badass enough. Thanks again for another killer lesson bro.
Sure thing! Just start slow with the solo. Took me forever too!
I was really resisting plugging that archer into my JVM410. You know, the purity indignation. But it really does scream! Good call brother.
Yeah man that's a match made in heaven!
Eddie was the BEST RYTHEM player EVER!
Yes sir!
@@BrettPapa Thank you so much for what your doing!
Your tone, is the best I've seen on RUclips. So close to the original, good for you man. 👍
Thanks so much!
My favorite breakdown of this song! That 5 note open string repeater is giving me fits. How did you work up the speed to make it sound smooth?
Yeah that's one of my favorite VH tunes ever! Just practice.
Finally! I've found a guy who does extremely EXTREMELY! Detailed and accurate Van Halen videos that does the original song justice! Thank you
Haha thanks Josh! More coming soon. I got about 8 or 10 to go.
@@BrettPapa EXCELLENT!
Wow that was just killer man, thank you!
Sure thing! Thanks for watching!
Thank you, Thank you for doing this rippin tune!!
Sure thing! Lot's more VH coming soon!
this is great thx!
Sure thing!
Thanks Man . You and Eddie Rock !
Haha! Thanks! You are welcome. More VH coming soon!
Bret? I bet it took you forever to diagnose this and figure it out. True? Great job. One of my favorite songs. Eddie was amazing, there will never be another one like him again. Thanks
Eddie is the king!
@@BrettPapa I've got an Ibanez with Gravity Storm pickups in it, Steve Vie wanted his name on them. I really like them. Not sure if you have heard how they sound but, "wow", amazing. Now if I could just be able to play better. LOL
Awesome!
Thanks!
ASTONISHED! AMAZING LESSON!
Thanks!
Always loved this one thank you papa🤘🤘
Sure thing Neil!
@@BrettPapa would love if you would do hear about it later it's a great song 🤘🤘
God plays the guitar, he came to us as Eddie Van Halen 🎵🎸🤘🏼
Lol
wonderful lesson, with all the little details.
Can you tell us the OX Box settings?
Thanks! 412 punch cab with a 57, 160, and stereo condenser. All with bass roll off. 57 3/4 up and the 160 1/2 way. Room to taste because the verb and delay were added in post.
Whaouh ! Super Cool !
Thanks for tuning in!
GOOSE BUMPS MAN!!! EPIC...😀
Haha thanks!
Wow! Thanks fir that
Sure thing!
Very cool! I'm wondering what the Boss EQ settings are?
Thanks! A very slight reverse v shape and the output boosted.
0:50 how did you do those hammer ons and full offs???
Damn killer tone Brett! What’s the signal chain here your tone is SPOT ON man!!
Thanks! 74 JMP 50 watt Marshall, Boss 7 band EQ, Rockett Jeff Pedal (archer version), into a UA OX with a 412 cab sim. Touch of EQ in post and then also added reverb and a tape delay in post.
My first album too! I was 13 lol great vid great playing Brett! 🤘😎
Thanks for checking it out!
I think he does the c note pull of to a from the riff twice!
Van halen 2 is a great album! Probably his best
Such a good one! So many gems on that album!
Awesome, thanks 👍
Sure thing Mark!
Your tone is ridiculous dude. So good
Thanks! More VH coming soon!
Nice buddy! You sure found the brown sound.
Thanks Brock!
Pretty close Brett love that guitar I want one but I like the Kramer from the 1984 Era via jump and Panama video.
Your notes pretty close maybe a smidge fast from adrenaline.
Eddie often imitated never duplicated.His sound was in his hands an unorthodoxed style of timing writing an feel.
I'm still heartbroken over his passing.
Keep Jamin Papa Love it and your channel I still want a ÷by13
Thank ya! If anything I had to slow it down a touch lol! It's pretty fast and I was barely hanging on haha. Can't go wrong with a Divided by they are world class amps!
Thanks so much for your advice and lesson on Rythym playing recently. Wow though I really feel terribly inadequate in my effort to improve. My desperation to be a serious player is mounting though. I didn’t start last night in my journey although I feel like it at times. Still working at close to 65 limits my time most days getting 2-4 hours of practice, but wow 12hrs for us merely mortal players would be almost impossible 🤔. But to make a huge improvement is it really rythym? Ok, I’m all in!
Even little bits every day will help a ton! Keep at it you got this.
Thank you for this Man, sheeeeeeit!
You are welcome! More VH coming soon!
@@BrettPapa Yay! Having my 4th and most serious Cervical Spine surgery on Tues Mar. 29th. I hope to be able to play correctly again but you know, No Guarantees!! Right now my left hand will not let the fingers "arch" over the strings so I have to just bar them across the neck and strings. Strange but at least I get to noodle! I love music so much man.
Brett , is that a Headstock Tuner , and if so what brand? Thanks.
Yes. TC Electronics are my favorite headstock tuners. They are listed on my Sweetwater page in the description box. Most of the gear I use is.
Hey Brett, do you use a particular pick/gauge for Van Halen stuff?
Not usually. I typically just use a thin or medium pick and 9-42's. All of Eddies real picks that I have are thin or mediums as well.
ed always said he played by feel, not time. something you can really pick out when its slowed down.
For sure!!
Hey!DONATED¡! All right! Nice job Brett sounded really good! Reminded me of Marty who owns Motor City guitar also a is a Eddie player. You guys got the tone perfect! Unfortunately Eddie didn't fall in my wheelhouse. I was about a decade or so before. Eddie was kinda like a Jeff Beck only higher energy. I guess whoever makes the most sounds on a guitar that sound Goodwin's?
Beck is also one of a kind and that dude just keeps getting better!!! Thanks for watching! Nice to hear from you again!
BRETT PAPA, can you make a video lesson only about EVH top 10 trademark Habits? I'm not sure what that scale is called that he uses often that is one fret behind the pentatonic box which its a composite scale but it has outside notes out of key notes
Yeah I could do something like that. Let me see what I can do.
@@BrettPapa Thanks that would help out a lot to learn more about the EVH details habits he does
Hey Brett You Are So Right About That Guitar It For Is So Sweet I Just Bought About 2weeks Ago Used A 2021 With A Hardshell Case EVH for 1500 I So Love It I Want A Black and White Striped One Next An I Will Be Happy An Like You I Grew Up Listening To Van Halen An I’m 58 An Still Love This Day
Yep, I can't stop playing it! I would love to get another one at some point.
Hey Brett Just to let you know there is a 2021 EVH White with black stripes with an EVH case $1,099.00 on reverb
Dude, you're such a great player, and humble about it, but after hearing that scale on 21:02, I'm convinced that Eddie Van Halen was the Antichrist 😂🤯🎵
lol
The whole song is bad to the bone, one of the baddest VH jaunts for sure, but the peak badassery, for me, happens at 31:55. Eddie was the KING
Agreed 100%
Hey Brett, you rock thank you ! Did you tab it somewhere ?
Thanks! To be honest I don't have time to do the tabs. I did a 30 minute video breakdown though lol! Thanks for watching!
VH forever
YES!!
My relic came today
YES!! That is awesome!!
I think I heard someone called it his "Hummingbird technique".... for tremolo picking.
Yeah I have heard that before. Makes sense.
Cool video can almost see some stuff
But its Eddie ,no I'm not ready for it .
That's ok to rock on
You can do it Bob! It takes me forever to get it too! Start with Ain't Talkin Bout Love. I did a lesson on that one and its super doable!
Wow !
Thanks!
Please teach Cabo Wabo🙏
Yep I plan on doing that one. Great tune!
woooo hoooo!!!!
haha!
You finally got an EVH, congrats! I have the Bumblebee. The guy I bought it from had a Seymour Duncan 78" in it. He gave me the Wolgang too but I haven't tried putting it in yet. The pick slide combined with the regular slide is so key, Eddie does it so cleanly. Best pick slides ever. VH II came out the 23rd of March 79 so good timing on this one!
They are so awesome! That is hilarious on the date of the album I had no idea. One of my favorite VH albums. The playing is fantastic from top to bottom.
@@BrettPapa Yeah I mean, you can't really beat the first two albums, its a right of passage. I think most if not all of the songs from VH II were already written pre-1979 but Warner Bros. wanted to release two albums of course. The release date of 5150 is around this time of year too.
