Jeremy Brown Syd Barrett was a half decent guitar player who was more known for his lyrics. Are you referring to the actual guitarist in the group, David Gilmour? Because he inspired people in his own way too with long drawn out bends and eclectic note choices.
@@rkphighroller no, syd was a shit guitar player that heavily relied on chromatic blues walkdowns and post psychedelic arrangements of cowboy chords with a major 7th. He was just shit, let's get it straight. Also yea his lyrics are well known for their retardness, I don't know how he is known for his lyrics since most of the time it's rats, baby lemonade send a clock through a washing machine iron hands clap outside too much acid to write something that makes sense in once sentence
@@rkphighroller but not I'm not referring to gilmour, because gilmour was a part of the scene which featured Eddie Van halen at any point after 1978 so he was, in one way or another influenced by Eddie.
Amen Brother. It takes a very specific palm muting touch.. needs more CFH 🤘 Also look up 2 Live Crew "Fuq Shop" if you don't know about that. I could just ol Diamond Dave and Eddie being like "yeah you can use our song for your rap sample as long as it's about boning and not killing people"

He changed the game by changing the rules. Every single guitar player who’s come after him owes him a big thank you. Thank you EVH for inspiring us and teaching us to think way out of the box. God bless and long live Eddie Van Halen. Rock In Peace 🤘🏾🙏🏾❤️
Yeah always found "5150" as a song incredibly underrated and unheard of, despite the album, tours and amps named after it! up there with my fav VH tunes.
Agree. Right after the HUGE 1984 album, change of front man, completely different sound, etc. Maybe not as technical but an absolutely beautiful intro. EVH still on top of his game then no doubt!
Kevin Leavy people forget that old music had jankiness and that jank needs to be played. If you play a solo from Richie Blackmore, with perfection, you’ll just sound like a less nimble Doug Aldrich.
I cant get past the little birdies inlays on them pricy soy boy guitars.It does have a better headstock design than those Wolfie Music man monstrosities ,I'll give you that.Gotta frankenstrat it up though!
OH YEAH. Whenever someone would see me slam down everything in the parking lot (including my bags and produce) whilst on my hi-fi headphones. IT WOULD BE ME..ME ON THE DOWNBEAT FOR "Drop Dead Legs"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (we're talking 2013-19) I was gett'n married AGAIN and that was my goto since. Should've been on that list. :-)
@sabbracadabra yes, listen to the "while my guitar gently weeps" cover with prince, tom petty, and jeff Lynne and you'll see why I say that prince is slightly better.

Man this was a pleasure to watch. Heard one that was way off. Intro to ain't talkin bout love is a heavy palm mute not open ringing strings. Take a close listen and give it shot. Thanks for sharing this. Amazing ability.
im the one was overlooked because of eruption but is one of his most insane performances....listen to just guitar of that track...INSANE! michael anthony bass makes these comne alive....end of story...eddie got all glory rightfully but MA's tone and power and groove was epic
5150 is the most underrated Van Halen riff of all time, in my opinion. Probably is overlooked cause it’s Van Hagar, even though Eddie wrote it before Hagar joined. Top of the World is personally my favorite riff, first EVH riff I ever learned. 🤘
I love all those riffs and you gave sweet justice to all of Eddie's best riffs. I've also seen a lot of your other exquisite guitar slinging videos, fantastic!
As a bit of a guitarist myself, I couldn't help but notice what all guitarists notice and that's that there are just a LOT of different ways to play this stuff and although Danilo is really great and makes the tough stuff appear effortless, I DO believe that the way that I've been playing "Ain't talking bout love" is definitely better sounding and has much more fair and nuance. I play it both ways just for variety but running the progression up the neck is much more challenging and just a better way to go, in my opinion. Js. ROCK-ON!
Seeing someone trying to play EVH riffs and not doing so well just further reinforces just how awesome Eddie’s tone and skills are. Eddie’s fret skills are so crisp and the attenuation on his picking is excellent.

Thanks for considering the Van Hagar era, it would have been nice to include the song "Don't tell me (what love can do)", a very underrated song, but with interesting guitar riffs. Another underrated song: "Amsterdam".
1) Light up the Sky 2) Romeo Delight 3) Feel Your Love Tonight 4) Little Guitars 5) On Fire 6) Beautiful Girls 7) Unchained 8) Little Dreamer 9) I'm The One 10) Women in Love
Geez it’s so hard because all of his riffs are amazing, if it was a top 20 it would be easier to list because I would include to your list like atomic punk, somebody get me a doctor, hang em high, house of pain, drop dead legs, and the cradle will rock, take your whiskey home, in a simple rhyme and many more.
Nice! My daughter is named Halen, huge VH fan obviously. Great job! Thanks for including 5150, as I’ve always thought that is a hidden gem of guitar genius.
Rest In Peace EVH. You inspired every guitarist in one way or another.
Well, he never inspired Hendrix or, say syd Barrett or like anyone that stopped before he started!

I have no words.. the saddest news. #RIP Master 😔💔
RIP EVH, for none of the shredders we love today would've existed without his genius innovation.
Most inspirational guitarist ever. Rip EVH.

I Love Van Halen's Riffs but my Favorite one is still Ain't talking about love
Amen Brother. It takes a very specific palm muting touch.. needs more CFH 🤘 Also look up 2 Live Crew "Fuq Shop" if you don't know about that. I could just ol Diamond Dave and Eddie being like "yeah you can use our song for your rap sample as long as it's about boning and not killing people"
Totally agree. One of the classic riffs of all time
Mine is either Women in Love or The Full Bug
Definitely is, that and why can’t this be love
0:10 Running With The Devil
0:32 5150
1:10 Unchained

È il suo testamento
Not surprisingly, all but 2 were from the DLR era. Feelin' and 5150 are great inclusions. They definitely belong on this list.
@@briankeith1147 I would say summer nights too, but it has like a bunch of riffs to choose from. Comes down to preference

Heavy metal live matter
You mean all those crappy pop glam metal bands?
I would have had Drop Dead Legs in there. Such a smooth groovy riff
That’s the one I was waiting for
Drop Deadlegs is at the top of my list.
Definitively, 5150 is one of the underrated solos ever!! Not only from EVH but in rock history!!!
You ain't lyin' man....love that song!!
Yeah always found "5150" as a song incredibly underrated and unheard of, despite the album, tours and amps named after it!
up there with my fav VH tunes.
The Live Without a Net version is amazing with the delay.
You are right
Agree. Right after the HUGE 1984 album, change of front man, completely different sound, etc. Maybe not as technical but an absolutely beautiful intro. EVH still on top of his game then no doubt!
Was absolutely floored to see Feelin' in there. Excellent call. That song is criminally underrated.
Balance is criminally underrated!
"Unchained" , for me, is the perfect VH tune. Hard, propulsive, joyful, and Diamond Dave at his extra-extraverted best.
"One break, comin' up!" :)
"Unchained" is quintessential Van Halen. "Romeo Delight" is up there too.
S. Miller Hear About It Later is underrated.
Daniel Cannon "Hear About It Later" is a great song, I was just listening to it yesterday. It should have been a hit.
@@s.miller2648 Don't forget about "Sinner's Swing". IMO, the most underrated =vh= song...ever.
true
The whole fair warning album is a masterpiece
(Almost) every song Eddie wrote was a masterpiece
Hot for teacher right where it belongs that riff is sooo good!
The Mug l, agree but it didn’t sound as boogied up as the Halen ver, timing was a bit out, it’s a bitch to play if your timing in 6/8 is a bit iffy!
Kevin Leavy people forget that old music had jankiness and that jank needs to be played.
If you play a solo from Richie Blackmore, with perfection, you’ll just sound like a less nimble Doug Aldrich.
A tad bit off on the timing on HFT
He omitted the best part of it though: the tapping part.
Didn't play it right. Missing a note. It's a three semi tone roll 567 on the A
5150...one of the most underrated VH riffs..
Unchained. What a riff, When that bass drives in, its near impossible not to headbang along. RIP Eddie, you will be sorely missed.
Ever since his death I've been trying to get more into his music and there were some great riffs in here that I'd never heard before
That PRS tho, sweet as hell.
TheDede508 it’s a 408 right. Changed pickups but a 408. I’ve never seen a locking nut on a PRS. Have you.
I cant get past the little birdies inlays on them pricy soy boy guitars.It does have a better headstock design than those Wolfie Music man monstrosities ,I'll give you that.Gotta frankenstrat it up though!
Still , sadness in my heart, another guitarist genius left us. he will be missed.
Somebody get me a doctor is an epic riff
Cross hell yeah!!! And doa
DOA from same album too
@@telefisswearin1973 DOA is one of Van Halen's best songs ever recorded.
Drop dead legs?????
Luca Cox Thank you. Drop dead legs!
Yes!
Near impossible stomping riff from heaven
I’ll do that song 4 you guys
OH YEAH. Whenever someone would see me slam down everything in the parking lot (including my bags and produce) whilst on my hi-fi headphones. IT WOULD BE ME..ME ON THE DOWNBEAT FOR "Drop Dead Legs"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (we're talking 2013-19) I was gett'n married AGAIN and that was my goto since. Should've been on that list. :-)

Prince was slightly better, but not by much
@sabbracadabra yes, listen to the "while my guitar gently weeps" cover with prince, tom petty, and jeff Lynne and you'll see why I say that prince is slightly better.
Solid list! It's hard picking just 10 out of Eddie's catalog. I, for one, am a big fan of the Poundcake intro and verse riffs.
Agreed...
The Beat It riff is so under appreciated
It's not a Van Halen song- It's a Michael Jackson song on which Steve Lukather played the riff. Eddie played the solo.
Little story: each time I listen hot for teacher before class, the class is going wrong. No need of a psychic just a little of VH
I'm gonna try that tomorrow
Thanks. Nice to hear the short greatest hits track.

Atomic Punk over Feelin' everyday
What ab Little Guitars that riff is catchy
@@cameronhinkle6500 "Little Guitars" is awesome. I can't believe I forgot that one.

Yeah good call
10 evh riffs don't even scratch the surface. That man is a legend and every note of every song is timeless
Eddie Van Halen was a legend at engineering hard rock riffs. 🤘🏻🎸 nobody else could create the musical ideas like his.👏
Eddie won't rest in peace.....he is still rocking and rocking us and loving it every time we hear hi and discover new in the old!!!.....live on my brother!
The way you played Runnin With The Devil irked me
The notes are there but the stops and starts (rests) are in absentia.
Same
Missed the rake before the riff as well
I agree. It was the only one that wasn’t pretty much spot on.
WRONG chords! NOT CORRECT MAN
Thanks for putting the obscure #2 and even more so #4! Back in EVH "dark funky days." Beautiful playing and that beautiful PRS! 🤩🤩🤩

Yes, "Un-chained" - not only MY favorite of all but probably the best sounding guitar intro of ANY song ever.
There will never be another guitarist like Eddie van Halen, not only was he a awesome guitarist, but a kind individual.
Wolfie is the closest we will get
Great playing, sound is spot on... the slash tattoo is sick too
im the one was overlooked because of eruption but is one of his most insane performances....listen to just guitar of that track...INSANE! michael anthony bass makes these comne alive....end of story...eddie got all glory rightfully but MA's tone and power and groove was epic
Ive tried for years to get the flow of Eddie for "Im the one" Your awesome but its never been repeated since eddie!! Thanks
I know it isn’t even close to being their most iconic riff, but Humans Being is still my favorite because it’s so heavy and intense.
Man you nail every riff in these top 10 videos, from the tone to all the little technician subtleties.
He could take any sound he wanted out of a guitar. RIP Eddie Van Halen
