Chordplay - The Chords Of Van Halen (Part Three)

- Here's the next episode of Chordplay with a third installment of The Chords Of Van Halen. This is technically the fourth time we've looked at Eddie's legendary chord vocabulary and rhythm guitar style on the channel, and there's seemingly a neverending assortment of great ideas hiding in Van Halen's historic catalog of music - so let's dive in and dig even deeper into his timeless and beyond-inspiring guitar style.
This episode is an attempted "deep dive" into Van Halen's music, as this time around I've selected some lesser-known and overlooked Van Halen songs from an assortment of places. This includes tracks such as 'Aftershock' and 'Baluchitherium' from the 1995 album Balance, the Japanese exclusive track 'Crossing Over' from the same year, 'Can't Get This Stuff No More' from the Van Halen Greatest Hits Volume 1 compilation, 'Humans Being' from the Twister soundtrack, and we're even taking a look at an early demo recording/song from the early days, with the fiery mid-1970s track 'Big Trouble,' which was eventually rerecorded as 'Big River' on the A Different Kind Of Truth album.
Needless to say, there's a lot hiding in this episode, so if you're a Van Halen fan, a player searching for some new chord twists/moves to add to their bag of tricks, or someone looking to expand their knowledge of Van Halen's timeless music - this episode is totally for you!

Eddie's rhythm chops are the benchmark for rock guitarists as far as I'm concerned
His rhythm chops and phrasing on Fair Warning are epic in my opinion. I know everyone ranks VHI as his pinnacle, I think because of Eruption more than anything. But I think he absolutely hit his creative peak with Fair Warning.
the best rhythm sense in rock guitar
You really gave Eddie his props in this video. Long live the king of rock...EDDIE VAN HALEN !!! I personally don't think anyone has come even close to his innovative writing and playing. There are some great ones out there. NO ONE HAS REACHED THE PLATO OF MR. EDWARD VAN HALEN.
I took about two weeks and listened to their entire collection on Spotify… they’re great all the way through. There were a lot of songs I’d never heard! And I especially enjoyed the darker side of Eddie…. Gives you chills.
My experience at a Van Halen show back in 1982 was incredible. Every mouth in the house was hanging open. He played and showed us the most serious rock star $hit I have ever seen. EVH is some kind of super-hero of guitar and music.
I know a lot of people will disagree, especially prog music hard core fans, but to me Van Halen is progressive. Maybe not the band in and of itself, but Eddie sure is. He was so ahead of its time.
Ed’s solo on Can’t Get Away From You is also pretty tasty. Incredible how different (yet great) that solo and Big Trouble are from VH1.
Awesome clean playing by Brewster here doing The King justice. all VH albums are just one big album to me. Even the bootlegs lol!!! 🎸Late Night Lessons RulZ!!!🎸
It's no secret that Balance is definitely the hidden gem of the Hagar era it's often overlooked but my favorite will always be Fair Warning its just Ed at his best we can keep his spirit alive by playing his music R.I.P king you are sorely missed 👍👏🤘
I forgot how massive Crossing Over was. He was truly inspired. RIP Ed. We miss you everyday.
Thank you! Awesome video again! I am a huge VH fan as well, so I might be biased, but yours is the best channel on RUclips. What's great is that you don't just take the quick and easy tab approach but always mention the chords and the tuning you are playing in. It is a splendid way to train one's ear and appreciate harmony. Thanks!
Your so stoked when talking about Eddie. So turned on . Awesome . Thanks
Great stuff! Eddie raised the bar for lead and rhythm guitar. Some surpassed his technical skills, but nobody ever came close to writing so much Great music that was both inspiring and innovative with raw emotion you can just feel. He's the reason I picked up the guitar as well.
There will never be another Eddie he was the master of everything
Man he was ever changing. ...don't see anyone do that to this extent
Aftershock! Balance was my favorite album by a long shot
I’ll never forget me and 3 buddies drove down to an outdoor venue in Virginia to see VH on the Balance tour…the band was on top of their game…the sun was shining, the band was rocking and the beer was flowing….great memories 😎
Fair Warning is probably my favorite. 5150 will always hold a place at the top since i was at one of the shows when they were filming Live Without a Net in New Halen, CT.
Hell yeah man
No what I'm doing after work. Can't wait to check this one out
You are enthusiastic but calm and well spoken when teaching anything, but the moment you start playing especially Van Halen … it’s beast mode!!! 🤘🏻 Rock the F on Dave. We love you.
It's good to see the 5150 guys here. Eddie rules.
Thanks Dave...I always centered on Eddie's rhythm playing.Continuously interesting and use of triads in his chords combined with a sinister Marshall tone was the greatest.
EVH BABY!...Love it
Eddie was amazing, the fact you can de-code all this makes you pretty amazing too 👍
BTW... Great lesson again, 😆 I forgot to include that in my last comment
Awesome episode Dave ! Impossible to pick a favorite album but if life or death I would have to say Fair Warning. Thanks Dave.
AGREED!!!!
Fair Warning has a great vibe and is so swinging after the attitude of Women and Children First
Fair Warning for me too.
Balance is a very strong album
After all these years, i'm still in Love with your Tone. You have the Magic Touch! This was another Fun & Essential lesson.
More content on Riffin & Rhythm is highly appreciated.
Haha, Brewster called it, Can't STAND loving you!
It could be the Police covering VH.
Enjoy your vids, I share your appreciation for eddy, I'm with you brother. Thanks
I loved Eddies playing even before I played. He was probably the main reason why I picked up a guitar. When I did start playing he was probably the most influential for me. Randy was probably second. Van Halen II is my fave.
Love these EVH videos David, keep them coming! :)
That’s some great songs you covered in this. Great job 💯
Thanks for this lesson its great. Hard to pick but my favourite album is OU812. I just love Black and Blue on that album for the great rhythm part, what a great song
Let's go for the full on van halen fest dave...
Like The Cars and Led Zeppelin, Van Halen's first album could have been their greatest hits.
"Big Trouble" was the 1st VH demo I was to find online in the early '90's using Netscape. The quality was lousy but couldn't believe what I was hearing...the vocal harmonies were unmatched in any of their other songs.
28:20 PLEASE do the ending part of the Big Trouble solo as that lick is the COOLEST PART. It sounds like a typical Ed symmetrical stretch pattern but I'm not able to capture it.
Always magnificent content Dave! Thank you!
DIAMOND DAVID BREWSTER!!! Masterful player and relatable instructor - thank you for your work and sharing your knowledge! 🎸
Great lesson, thank you. VH 1 is my favorite. They brought a smile to hard rock.
Last Hagar songs were Learning To See and Up for Breakfast
I thought balance was overlooked. Seventh seal is so cool.
I asked Greg Renoff a couple of years ago, after some really pristine versions of the "Zero" bootlegs were leaked, if Van Halen could have conceivably released a "VH III" in late 1979 early 80 between "VH II" and "Women & Children First". He said, they absolutely could have and it would have been just as good as the first 2 VH albums.
Balance👍 great intro to video starting with aftershock 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Just discovered your channel today.. First video was Akira Takasaki, my no2 player ever, second vid was John Sykes..My No1 player, barring possibly Petrucci...Rush album on the wall, starwars posters? And great Playing...Subbed. Best get looking through these vids. Kudos dude.
THANK YOU!!!😉👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
VAN F'N HALEN 🔥❤🔥❤

Crossing over....wow
Great lesson David. Your awesome dude!
Wonderful lesson Dave , love Aftershock . I think you could pretty much dedicate several lessons to Eddies work on Fair Warning alone So much phenominal rythm work on that one album alone. Thank you.
It's very hard because except diver down they were all fantastic, O.U.8.1.2.
Very good episode. Fair Warning has always been my fav.
Van Halen Specialized in Sus2 and Sus4 SWEEPING ARPEGGIOS which you can hear a swept Sus4 arpeggio in the guitar solo of JUMP and Implying broken triadic phrasing which including Sus2 and Sus4. The Van Halen late 89-94 albums used very dark chord inversions and just unusual chords which you should make a video lesson on.
Fair Warning or VH ll. Thanks Dave, you’re channel is inspiring and entertaining!
woot! always happy to see a new EVH lesson/spotlight
Every guitar player usually says Fair Warning. I think that the original songs on Diver Down are the turning point of Eddie's composition chops. I would say that the original compositions on Diver Down, like the Full Bug and Secrets are the ending of old VH and the starting point of new VH. I won't pick a favorite because I listen to the whole catalog when I drive back to Lexington, KY from Atlanta and vice versa. 😂
great again and ill keep watching for sure
Great stuff as usual Dave. Talk about diggin' deep. You have outdone it again. Thanks and keep surprising us. Please!
Thank you, this is excellent, as usual!
thanks so much for covering Humans Being Dave! easily one of my favorite Hagar era songs
Wow. Did not know those EVH riffs. Love his way of riffing in drop D. Great lesson, now I am inspired !
Great video.
EVH was a one off .
🤘
Any chance you could do We Die Young/We die bold in a future episode?
Feel free to make “Dozens More” EVH videos!
Check out Woman In Love from the Gene Demo. Love to watch your review of that one. This was really great. The more Van Halen, the better :)
Thumbs up!👍👍
I'll just give you a 👍 for even pronouncing "balicotherium". I use that full E5 all the time, using my middle and ring ,( dubbing the G with the ring finger). It's so bad ass and full sounding. Thanks B🐓!
I miss Eddie 😞
Do the chords of the band ALL,awesome band.
Sweet!!!! Very Awesome David!!
Great opener, dude!!!
Awesome lesson, Dave! 🤘🤘
David on Human Beings there’s no up stokes but seems a little off but the tone is killer
Great lesson Dave! You picked out some gems!
FAIR WARNING - hands down!
Favourite album is the debut VH 1
Great video! Questioning your timeline, though; a decade before Still of the Night, VH had yet to release anything.
Great video
Love your stuff! What guitar is that you have? American Strat? Tell us more about that guitar sometime! Never been a genuine Fender Strat guy, but this one is really growing on me...THANKS!
The song as the beginning is Aftershock!!
EVH FOREVER! 🤘⚡️🤘 🎸🔥 💯
Baluchitherium was a rip from Trevor Rabin’s “Eyes of Love”….and Eddie admitted it at one point….
Just listened... definitely!
Inspiring
VH2!!
Awesome, but you didn't cover the intro to "Can't get this stuff no more". That's super cool!
Eddie's rhythm is my favorite part of his playing. The leads are great of course, but IMO the verse rhythm and solo rhythm playing is the part I love the most about him.
I agree. He very rarely used full bar chords.
Could you do a chord play of The Gipsy Kings - Tonino Baliardo . ?
please Mr Dave ..one mic on your guitar amp mixed with the voice will sounds so much better for your awesome playing!! Mr Ed Van Halen lives into all of us🎸🎸🎸from Spain🇪🇸🇪🇸
VH / Fair Warning / VH II / 1984 / OU812 / Balance / F.U.C.K / 5150 / Diver Down / VH III (My Order ?)
For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge
Oh, man. Can't pick just one album. Van Halen ll always satisfies. Heck, they all do.
Check out "Talking Guitar: Jas Obrecht's Music Magazine" channel. Fascinating interviews with Eddie talking guitar.
as much as a fan of EVH that I am how have I never heard Big Trouble... if you had played it without telling it was Eddie, I would've bet it was a John Sykes song...
Fair Warning, VH1
Gene Simmons did a fantastic job producing Van Halen . Somebody get me a Doctor was Awesome
I don't think EVH felt the same : )
@@BeantownToBigD He didn’t complain when Gene paid for the Demos and Paid for the band a trip to New York City and gave the Band Money.. I don’t care about your opinion’s
@@samright4661 I replied to you with a smile and you to me? Well, no comment. The facts are in Van Halen Rising and Eruption Conversations with EVH. Simmons forced EVH to overdub. Eddie hated overdubbing. He didn't need to overdub because he was a guitar god who played hybrid rhythm/lead. Jimi Hendrix was the same. VH's first album was produced by Ted Templeman and unlike Simmons' demos, Ted let EVH record with no overdubs as if they were playing live in concert. Usually done in one take too. And of course, nobody complained about Simmons paying all expenses but money has nothing to do with your first comment. Have a nice day. Namaste.
@@BeantownToBigD Gene tore up the Contract with Van Halen he could have been a A hole and made it hard on them. Eddie was a ungrateful prick
Fair Warning
Music is the language in Heaven.

Aftershock guitar was great....lyrics were not good....didn't go with the music...they were not cohesive here...guitar was dark and awesome...felt not happy
All the Albums VH3 least favorite but much respect either way
