- RIP EDDIE! :( In part 2 of this guitar tutorial, I go over more of Eddie Van Halen's hallmark soloing techniques such as wide intervals, symmetrical patterns, blues scales, and open string runs among others. The tabulature and much more in depth explanations can be found at my website below: (Temporarily not working as site just migrated) vancouverguitar...

I teach guitar, bass, vocals, and ukulele privately and online, and this channel contains lessons in all those instruments (except uke) and primarily technique and theory are stressed in the styles of rock, blues, country and jazz.
I endeavour to upload once a week. ;)

I was 15 when the first VH album came out, and just learning my first chords and pentatonic scales. In all these years, I've never heard a single person that actually "sounds" like EVH. I've seen thousands of people trying, and a lot of them get 95% of the technique or tone right... but they still don't sound like Eddie.
I can honestly say that in a controlled blind test, it probably wouldn't be easy to tell the difference between you and him. Nicely done sir.
Thanks for watching! That is one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me so thanks for that too! I put a TON of work into these vids so it is great to hear that people enjoy them. All the best!
Some of the best tutorials online, awesome lessons. Thanks for taking the time.. Well explained as well..
Hi Ed! Well you've done it again man! Another killer lesson with amazing tone and good and slow for drummers. Love not only your guitar playing, but your delivery is great! Easy to follow and sounds AWESOME on my theatre surround sound. Lol All the best, Scotty Mo
Thanks Scotty, very glad you enjoyed the lesson! Rock on bro!
Well done. Enjoyable lesson by a very capable teacher. Thank you.
Well done! I have had difficulty hearing some of Eddie's stuff well enough to pick it out on my guitar. Thanks for sharing your work ... you make it look easy.
Thanks for watching and for the kind words!
Really well done, thanks for posting. I love your tone and playing and the soldano doesn't sound too bad either. Cheers
Thanks for the kind words and for watching Tom!
Awesome lessons and insane playing! Great work!
Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
Thanx you so much , would you consider adding to the EVH Lessons in the future . This was easily one of the best series on VH i have seen on youtube .
@@parabot2 There are more, the top comment I left a playlist of the EVH stuff I have done. Thanks!
Those licks are spot on. Love that Peavey Wolfgang too. What a beauty! Nice work. ;)
Thanks for watching and for the kind words!
great playing and lesson
Thanks Thomas! All the best!
Brilliant set of lessons , awesome playing btw and explanations of techniques . RIP Eddie
Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
I played Ed's rig at Greatwoods several years ago. My buddy was his tech back then. My wife "forgot" to take pics.
Ha ha oh man! Well, at least you got it saved on the old noggin' drive. Thanks for watching!
You sound great !!

Nailing those parts. Superb.
Thanks for watching!
Great stuff!! Thanks
Thank You that was amazing.
Thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed it!
Hey, I found this to be one of the best overviews of his playing technique on the net. Well done my friend and thank you for taking the time. I have to take a look at some of those licks. It warps the mind hearing them slowed down. I've subbed and was wondering if you would consider taking a look at Spanish Fly. You got me thinking with the flamenco thing and he really tears up that nylon guitar. Would be a great raw Ed picking look for sure.
Ya, definitely a possibility at some point. So much great music to get to though. Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
Awesome!!
I subscribed thanks dude!!
Thanks Joe!
Thank you
Awesome
Damn, that's why so hard to conquer Hot For Teacher intro. I've seen Jason Becker swept all the way through it but his good on sweep picking. It's odd to swept on EVH songs but at least there's an option for the not wide finger people
Eddie has wide stretches but if you raise the guitar up on one leg like in the video, it should be a lot easier. Best of luck and thanks for watching!
Where were you all. In 77-78 ha trust me no RUclips no tabs slow the record and work it out. You all got it made lol sounds great bro
Thanks for the kind words and for watching Mark!
nice dude
Thanks! Please sub. :)
Top Man
Thanks for watching!
hehe someone in that video has been practicing a little! :D
Sound kinda like bulls eye in 11/11 examples
Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
Hi! This is a great video! Can you explain better how to do that tremolo picking? I can't find a good tutorial...
EVH bends his wrist and the motion comes from the forearm. Thanks for watching and for the kind words!
Hey man love all your content !greetings from Canada! I have some urgent question(s) for you! About your PEAVEY USA Wolfgang! PLEASE READ THIS ALL I'd be forever grateful no one has an informative review that has answered these questions yet!!
This is my BIG BIG BIG Question ****** PLEASE tell me about the neck the biggest fault of the music man axis to me that shocked me since I've seen it used by musicians everywhere is the neck was too damn thin/narrow on BOTH the low E and HIGH E I would fret out the string off the board if I didn't purposeful force myself against doing so it was that bad . Now they did have 9's on it but a narrow neck is a narrow neck can this at all be remedied with 10's for example ? Does your Peavey wolf suffer from any of that at all ? I've heard it's a God send because the radius is flatter and neck is slightly thicker than the music man ebmm axis range . Since you play both in your videos please please let me know what you think !***
I know there are many iterations of the Peavey wolf 96-04 the ones I'm looking at are from the 90's have the signature flame archtop Birdseye and all however I believe you have the exact same one just a couple years apart!
When you get the chance in your busy life please please tell me literally everything you possibly can about this guitar the good bad , sound , pickups , feel of the neck , is it almost too thin where the high strings fret out on the neck from pull offs ? , How's the Peavey licensed trem is it legit and can handle quite some abuse and the d tuna does it work well ? Lastly how I can I tell for sure that this is USA model and not a special or exp etc. I also it really versatile as they say with clean , rock and metal ? Notes don't flub out or fade when doing hammer ons and pull off or tapping ?
I'd love to hear what you have to say since I can expect an honest opinion about it in a non hyped up way since you're a good guy and pretty straight up with your advice and your content! Haha let me know at any time when you have a chance this week what your response is to the above^ I'd really appreciate it cause I want to pull the trigger on a dream guitar hopefully , if anyone else feels like answering this feel free thank you :) Cheers from Niagara falls Canada ! - Adam
I have had no problems at all with the guitar. It plays great, sounds great and it is fun to look at! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the videos. I wish your close up shots were lit better because its hard to see what you are demonstrating. .
Ya, old JVC camera and before I learned proper lighting techniques with a dimmer. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Oh, and you can grap the tabs from my site, they are in the description.
Evh appetite for destruction guitar 😍
More please. What is your exact signal chain? Pedals?
Very simple, no distortion pedals at all, just delay, flange, phaser into a good old HR50+ amp by Soldano. I used a Boss compressor on some stuff, it helps even out the fast stuff. Eddie used to use Soldanos for his 90s stuff. Thanks for watching!
Eddie also downtuned the b string about 15 cents to get more ringing chords on the 2-4 strings.
Interesting, I never heard that before. Thanks for watching!
R u playing thru that Soldano? How close to the original 5150 is that amp?
I dunno but this is an HR50+. Eddie used an SLO during a certain period of his career in the early 90s and so the HR50+ is the cheaper version of that amp. Thanks for watching!
It's basically the same amp the 5150 was modeled after. He has been copying the Soldano slo gain circuit since the 5150.
What amp and pups are you using?
Soldano and stock EVH pickups. Thanks for watching!
What is your bass/low, high/treble and mid knobs set at
That will differ for each guitar, but for the EVH guitar, it is kinda weak on midrange so I had bass around 6mid 6 and treble 4. Thanks for watching and please subscribe. :)
What kind of guitar is that?
Peavey Wolfgang Deluxe.
UptempoMusicLessons sounds amazing
They are nice little axes. I really dig the maple neck with humbucker pickup combination. Eddie knows what he is doing when it comes to guitars!
UptempoMusicLessons yes!!
I've been a fan of EVH since the seventies. Over the years, many have tried to rip him off or have offered instruction about his playing, but they never really nailed the sound. Even the awesome Guthrie Govan never sounded quite right when he did a Guitar Techniques feature.
For me, the only person to really really nail it is Dweezil Zappa. Let's face it, he has a unique advantage: he's probably Eddie's only actual pupil... plus music does run in the family.
I hope it doesn't sound like faint praise to say you run him a very close second. If pushed to identify the difference, I'd say you should intensify your attack and vibrato just a little more to get that last tiny "almost there" thing out of the way. Also, your playing is not quite convincing when you slow it down (speaking as a pro guitarist and occasional teacher old enough to be your dad, sorry). Even if you drop the tempo dramatically, you should still try to make it musical, although I know you were concentrating on the teaching aspect. Plus, relaxing your hands as much as possible improves your playing for several reasons. Muscles and tendons work in pairs, and they can only contract. To bend your arm, you shorten your biceps. If you try to open it by contracting your triceps, you can't do it until you relax the biceps. It's good to actually do that to physically get an internal sense of it.
In guitar terms, this means that residual tension in your tendons slows you down and makes playing more tiring than need be. I actually found my deepest gains came from doing t'ai chi and chi gung. At times this fed into my playing with (for me, at any rate) dramatic results.
Btw, one thing I did actually learn from EVH in his first Guitar Player interview (I was about 17) was that you can play a D major scale over an E minor chord. That introduction to modes came along at just the right moment in my learning curve. Also, that overtone series harmonics goes all the way back to the second album at least. I'm pretty sure there's a break in Somebody Get Me A Doctor and I've a sneaking suspicion he uses it on VH1 somewhere, too.
You have done fantastic work already. I see you've also had the good taste to tackle Prince. I'm looking forward to it. I truly hope you've found what I've written encouraging, because that is the intent. All the best.
Hey Sidney, thanks for watching and for the input. You definitely have some good points you made. Cheers mate. :)
I was 16 and had been playing 2 yrs when VH1 dropped. I was set in my ways with Gibbons, Joe Perry, Nugent, Frank Marino. Besides I had no clue what a whammy bar was.I tried as many others and to some extent did nail his sound but learned the hard way unless tapping is done *perfectly* or it sucks. No other way to put it.
I recall VH was opening for Nugent and Ted ask if he could play though his rig expecting some magic EVH mojo secrets to be exposed. Nugent did and said, "I sounded exactly like me." ANY tapping screams EVH and unless you are in a cover band, you gotta be careful and use it sparingly. Even the might Vito Bratta of White Lion was accused of being a EVH clone.
11 hacks to get everyone at Guitar Center rolling their eyes in disdain, but a decent lesson nethertheless
Ha ha, ya, ala "No Stairway To Heaven!"
Another "hack" simular to athletes running with weights.
Routinely play a LP or Strat. Something with a fat, wide neck. Then get either a Wolfgang or Ernie Ball Music Man. You will be able to pull of Ice Cream Man stretches with ease.
Until I get a guitar with a whammy bar, I might as well not even try any of this really bitchin' stuff. ::shrug::
Tons of stuff without a bar that Eddie does. Thanks for watching.
great video. but dude, I think Eddie Van Halen doesn't use wide chops. He taps everything out with his right hand.
Nope, watch some live vids. Dude slays those wide stretches with one hand.
That is why I make those comments about how he plays Ice Cream Man live, because I saw it with my own eyes. Thanks for watching. :)
Ha!
I've seen a few cover band guitarists tapping the beginning section of the Ice Cream Man solo, and when I saw Roth live, his guitarist at the time also tapped it out. I also have a mid 1980's guitar magazine whose tablature indicated that the part is tapped. BUT, I have never seen EVH tap it. He always points the headstock in the air and stretches from the 12th to the 19th fret with his left hand. That's been clear to me since I got my VHS copy of the '83 US Festival (around 1985 or 1986). This is my favorite solo of his.
