EVH Signature Licks with tabs - ruclips.net/video/_nWNSCwuC9o/видео.html
Hard to see more of the original video when you break in to talk every other chord, and then cut out portions of the performance when you go back to it. I had to LOL at the title though... "Tutor critiques Eddie Van Halen". Not many people believe they have the skill to "critique" the Legend....especially since these are all techniques Eddie came up with.
“If you make a mistake, do it twice and smile then people will think you did it on purpose.” -Eddie Van Halen
In hindsight, totally think this happened at the bit with the delay and chords, but like you say with the way he reacts, who is to say either way!
His rhythm playing is highly underrated; no one before or since has that swing feel. The most magical thing to me, though, is how friggin clean his picking is. Zero pick noise.
Dude had a great internal metre for sure! I only found out recently, apparently he had the amp really cranked; so you don't have to pick too heavily, that might be contributing to the lack of pick noise?
Eddie is the complete package. There will never be another like him.
A true innovator
Eddie is amazing let's just leave it at that, we don't need people criticizing him, he's just having fun here😊
I'd say he was a 'once in a generation player', but that's just a hug understatement!
@@JbfMusicGuitar Yes, yes it is
I agreed with you, just leave it like that!!
That’s true, there’s nothing worse than seeing a band when they’re not enjoying it. You’re not getting their best
@@humboldtharry4248 this is true
It was always a joy to see VH. My first time was in 79. I was already hooked on their album, and seeing them in concert was A BLAST. Being a HUGE fan, I went to see them many times. It was really cool to see his Solos progress. He is , was, one of a kind. He was my teenage crush. and adult. lol. I felt like I lost a friend from highschool. Broke my heart when he passed.
He just exudes fun when playing, it must have been electrifying to experience that first hand!
@@JbfMusicGuitar Oh yeah. but you have to remember, this was our music, our time. This was what is was. Now, man, we were sooooo lucky. We really did think it would just go on and on. One generation after another. but, NOPE>
9:00 That's what makes Edward the best -- he didn't just "shred" -- he always played melodies and compositions
Totally, it's an aspect of his playing I'd really overlooked, or sort of taken for granted
You could never be a teacher or suggest playing a different way to EVH. He was the the guitar teacher of teachers.
Totally, definitely a guy who forged his own way, even down to the guitar he used!
@@JbfMusicGuitar Thats not the most impressive thing. Many people combine parts of the guitar to achieve something, but he was playing his own scales, looked at the music from outside the box.
@@frog382 Totally agree
The single greatest solo in history.
It's a pure belter!
...as we'd say in my neck of the woods
I know this aired years ago, but I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your commentary...
Thanks a bunch dude, much appreciated!
I like this format a lot, revisiting the techniques on the guitar is awesome
Thanks Ray! Yeah, I did a round of these types of videos before and the main suggestion was to actually show some of the concepts in action; probably a good addition, I reckon?
Don't listen to those guys complaining about the commentary, that's what a rection is supposed to be for god's sake! If they wanna listen to the whole thing without interruptions they can watch the actual video
Thank you! My thoughts exactly 🤘
He is analyzing Eddie's playing? We are all just mad we couldn't play like that. I played 8 years and when I heard this ..EVERYTHING CHANGED
Dude really raised the bar so high!
Great vid 👍 looking to improve on my harmonic techniques and the attached Came in very handy 🤝
Awesome! Glad to hear it 🤘 I reckon Eddie is pretty much the original rock harmonic master- other than maybe Vai he's my 'go to' guy for all those sorts of techniques!
Edward Van Halen -- The King of Ten Fingers and Six Strings
Truth!
DLR comment
@ 9:00 you nailed Exactly what separates Eddie Van Halen from all of the other great guitarist, during a solo anyway, "It's just nice to listen to."
Haha, thank Rob, sometimes it's just that simple isn't it!
Great video
Thanks Raymond, really enjoyed watching him and trying to steal some more of his tricks, lol!
When EVH hit the highest note on the guitar, then hit a note a little bit higher that you were trying to figure out. If you use a screw driver to raise your pickup a little, you can put the string against the metal part in the middle of it (If your bridge pickup is a single-coil with the metal part in the middle). Most guitars will be setup with the pickups flush with the body but I think he raised his up a little
Cheers David! Nice one! I heard once that Vai did a similar thing for the crossroads solo?
Eddie… a God among men
The guy was something special for sure
I don’t get why people are hating there wasn’t anything negative he was just doing a analysis and showing us things Eddie was doing
Really appreciate that! I'm not sure what else anyone expected here
People thought you were saying bad things about him lol it's critique not "criticize". Critique literally means detailed analysis or simple, analyzing the situations to understand more about what's happening :v I don't see any wrong :$
@@euinn Thanks, aye this is more of an informal analysis, so I thought 'critique' fit pretty well... I mean if they watched a few minutes or took a few seconds to google the word, this wouldn't be a problem, lol!
I think it's the word 'critique.' If he had used 'examined' I don't think anyone would have a negative assumption.
@@Briansgate Yeah, wasn't sure what to go with, it's not really deep enough for 'analysis' more than a reaction, critique means an informal analysis. But I think people correlate it with criticise, I can't do much about that though!
11:20 Right there where Ed drops the the low E down with the wang bar and hits that low B note which matches the chord he just played is my personal favorite moment in this entire solo
Oh wow, great catch! So much stuff going on I didn't even clock that one, brilliant.
I'm just randomly stumbling in here to your vid as an old man now...I was 13 when Van Halen 1 album came out. It really was sitting around trying out different sh*t on the guitar like "HOW-IN-THEE-F* is he doing THAT!?! *#%*!!!!" for a few years until he started opening up about his techniques in guitar player mag, and I eventually could do some of his stuff (the volume swell/chorus/delay thing I never mastered on Cathedral like in this vid) ...You did good with this vid...your tempting an old man to pick it up again...good job sir!...I think...
I wouldn't stand a chance without being able to see it... I can't imagine how mind blowing it would be to hear it from a Hi-Fi!
Go for it dude! Playing is a tonne of fun and that's the main thing 🤘🎸🎶
Good commentary,but too much of it. I understand you want express your opinions and viewpoints,and due to RUclips's rules and such but you keep stopping the video too much.
Fair enough! It's a tough balance to make. When I was editing the first batch of these, it just seemed pointless me sitting there watching it, so made a an effort to chime in more. Still a work in progress, lol
You mentioned Tom Morello. I used to pick the strings up above the neck, and slide my palm against the strings like a rapper scratching an album.
I always got told to stop doing stupid stuff and play right. Then Tom Morello comes along.........
Lesson to be learned: Experiment with Everything! Don't let other people tell you how you should or shouldn't play.
Spot on! Lean into your eccentricities as a player 🤘
What Eddie started out with here is a piece he wrote called 316, which came out about 10 years or so after Eruption.
Cheers mate, yeah that's a really lovely piece ✨
@@JbfMusicGuitar yes it is. Eddie is one of my favorite guitarists. Along with Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen and Buck Dharma. Malmsteen is, I think, a better technical player than Eddie, but he doesn't have Eddies' verve, his ability to really charm an audience.
@@buisyman I'm a huge fan of Vai and Malmsteen's play, but Eddie is up there with Hendrix for me in terms of creativity and how much he progressed guitar playing in general
@@JbfMusicGuitar Ah, Hendrix. You got me started. That man never had a guitar lesson until his later years. Taught himself how to play. He's left handed, so he flipped the guitar over and taught himself. He did shit on the guitar that no one else ever had because he never had anyone saying to him "That's impossible".
I think Eddy is playing guitar in this video.
Solid observation, can't fault it!
This is a great format, I’m looking forward to seeing more of these
Awesome, cheers for letting me know! Really appreciate it
I think you did a good job analyzing the video, ignore the hate , thats bound to happen.
Cheers, appreciate that. Yeah I mean it's the internet what you gonna do, lol! I dunno it's good to get the constructive feedback, but at the same time from what I can see there are a tonne of channel with very little commentary, so I don't see too much point adding to that.
It was a JOY my friend..... both times
Thanks for the tech on how he did stuff. I love it when you say its amazing how it stays in tune with the abuse!!!!! do you think he did something different to it? thanks
Cheers Roy! I'm sure he did, I've got a feeling I found a video where a guitar manufacturer who has sent guitars to Eddie explained what he did (found it! ruclips.net/video/LBnOkKBvZ6c/видео.html)
I think he might have had other tricks as well, taking a bit of time to match the springs and strings and whatnot. But I'm just guessing now!
@@JbfMusicGuitar Hi from Montana Thank you Roy
12:30 hammering the notes to get the needed volume while adjusting the volume up/down is easy in theory, but to mirror the sound is another thing.
Very true! A volume pedal usually makes it a wee bit easier, but he's just rolling it like a boss
At 10:06 what chords or scale is he playing, reminds me of an organ or synth. Thanks @Jbf Music & Guitar
Good question Lars! It sounds like an A minor, E minor, C5, B5 - so I'd say he's maybe using B Phrygian? The delay and effects to really make it sound like a synth, great observation!
Please don't stop the vid so often...and you cut out multiple parts. Other than that I like your reaction...and your tutorial at the end was awesome, thank you.
Noted! It's tricky to gauge how often to pause these, at the moment I'm experimenting with a straight reaction watch through, followed by a separate analysis/lesson video. Which is probably a better system!
Live probably Eddie's greatest piece of work...I often refer folks to this LWAN solo (and 5150 from this recording) as his best; just pure and peak form here.
He's definite on it here! Top form.
He was 31 here and in his prime..and it shows..incredible solo..
It really is!
Critique?? You have got to be kidding me.
He slopped a few notes during the symmetrical scale bits; it's live that's gonna happen. Other than that I really can't r fault it, arguably a 'peak Van Halen' performance here.
Is there anything obvious, or otherwise that I missed?
He slopped a few note probably because he was drunk when he was doing it lol
@@jeremycains2266 I'm slop central after like 3 beers these days lol, if he could pull that off drunk it's all the more impressive!
Eddie could play an audience just as good as he played the guitar.
Never heard it put quite so succinctly!
@@JbfMusicGuitar I've always had a way with words. Maybe it's why I write music but not lyrics, lol.
Great reaction 👏. Although I think you stopped way too much, and I know you have to buy that was a lot. As far as Eddie goes. I have mad respect for Jimmy and Stevie. Jimmy was great but sadly gone too soon. Stevie was probably the greatest blue's rock guitarist. But Eddie was the greatest Rock and Roll guitar player that's ever lived. RIP Eddie.
Oh yeah, that's totally fair! Always a bit of a tricky balance to strike. Eddie and Hendrix are, to me, the most important electric guitar pioneers so much stuff has been influenced by them it's unreal
What he starts with is called 316.....which he wrote for his son. 316 is Wolfgang VH’s birthday.
It can be found on 1991’s “For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge”.
There’s absolutely no continuity in your video, because your comments are much too frequent.
Cheers someone else had named that song, really lovely piece!
Yeah, still trying to find a good balanced with these videos, have only done a handful. I'm trying to make them informative instead of just sort of blankly starting at the screen; so at the end of it you might hopefully come away with something. The original is up on RUclips, so I figured folk can just watch that if they want the full experience?
Like I say, still a work in progress and with a player like Eddie... I mean he's dropping tricks and technique every other beat, so it's like what do you miss out, lol!
@@JbfMusicGuitar
He was also one of the best rhythm guitarists who ever lived.
@@SquirrelTheater Totally, his feel and groove with those tricky syncopated riffs is just amazing
Defo an great format, seeing the techniques put into practice after an analysis! Awesome job!
Brilliant, cheers dude! That spring thing he did was just great, definitely going to have to play about with it more- I forget how much I love noise guitar stuff, lol
Hey, i might be very late to the video, but would it be possible to say something about the chords at 10:02 and 11:03 ? like is it called anything special? i just like how they feel very discomfortable, great video btw
It's very haunting isn't it?
There are a few cool things going on: he's used a scale called 'Phrygian', which has a slightly Spanish sort of sound.
On top of that he is using a lot of delay and reverb effects, so his guitar sounds like a synthesiser or almost otherworldly & very ambient!
@@JbfMusicGuitar Yes, i found what i was looking for, thanks for the help!
@@isakwr1657 Awesome!
If you have reacted to the South American guitar duo Rodregio and Gabriel Let me know. If not please check them out.
I haven't reacted to them, but have heard of them before! Listened to them quite a lot back around 2006 ish. Good excuse to check out what they're up to these days!
So I know you made a tutorial for some licks on here but I was wondering what the begining was or how to play it
The beginning of Eddie's solo?
@@JbfMusicGuitar I just found out what it was. Yeah at the beginning. It drove me crazy for a bit
@@ja-krispy9210 Cool, I just assumed that nice chordal thing was a bit of a jam is it from a song?
@@JbfMusicGuitar, it's from 316
@@ja-krispy9210 That's cool, so it was a progression he had for a while before it became a song, sort of about his son?
All these extra bit of info and insights are really great to find out about, cheers for that!
I can't be more surprised by a dude who played his guitar with a drill
Did Eddie do that as well, or just Paul Gilbert??
@@JbfMusicGuitar Yes Eddie did it too. They both did it around the same time, and there was a difference between the way they did it. Eddie used his guitar pick ups to amplify the sound that the drill made, while Paul used the drill to play notes really fast with it.
@@Beebeebombie Interesting, I'll have to check that out- cheers for the tip!
@@JbfMusicGuitar Sure thing, man!
@@JbfMusicGuitar Yes he did, check out the song Poundcake.
Good job. Try letting him play some between interruptions.?
Could do, but this is an Analysis video, anyone watch him play uninterpreted in the original!
good point!
Eddie was wasted during this concert yet he still executed this guitar solo flawlessly, and you want to critique him?! Give me a break!!
Smashed or not he did a great job, no doubt! I can't think of anything I said here that was unfair, but if so just let me know with a timestamp or what bit you think is wrong?
Probably read the word critique in the description and thought it was criticism. I didn’t hear anything that I thought was negative, I thought it was 💯 positive. My opinion.
What's up with the dude in the video trying to explain the unexpainable.
I know right?!?! Why didn't Eddie just play like a normal person... * shakes fist at the air *
A critique suggests this could be improved on, this is a opinion piece, lol
Very true! I meant critique as in more of an informal analysis, kinda thing... but not complaining that I accidentally stumbled on to some sort of quasi clickbait, lol
Smoking killed him.
Yup, it's an awful habit.
It's a critique video where the first statement is basically there can be no critique this time, just a reaction considering the guitarist involved.
Eddie was never a Guitar Hero, he was a straight up Guitar GOD. Full on 6 string deity.
Are there any point I made that you disagree with?
@@JbfMusicGuitar not at all.... Simply stating that is really the only way to go into an EVH critique. You are right in that.
Way to many pauses. Comments are good but so many i quit after 3 minutes.
Fair enough! I've started putting a disclaimer at the start of these to warn of the pauses 🤣
The original is easy to find on here, so I don't see much value in me just sitting and watching it. I get that's a popular style of video, just not my cup of tea! 🤘
After every pause you skip a head and we missed out on lots of it 😕
Aye, sorry, just too much going on as you'd expect from Mr. Van Halen, I think original is up still here: ruclips.net/video/L9r-NxuYszg/видео.html if you want to make sure you don't miss anything
Why don't you post a video of yourself playing it, and show us how it's done.
My channel is filled with lessons and videos of me playing, feel free to check them out!
In fact, if you watched to the end of this video or even just used the chapters, you would have seen some of Eddies tricks broken down! From memory it was that awesome spring flick he did, maybe a symmetrical scale and possibly something else? Performances like Eddie's are an amazing learning tool
Note by note by note commentary
One day, I hope to truly achieve this goal... one day...
This has got to be the most annoying video I've watched. I didn't have to but I did make it through it.
Appreciate that dude! Hope there were some useful bits in amongst the annoyance 🤣🤘🎸
Is this a health and fashion critique or are you going to listen
Yeah, totally 100% health and fashion. Zero guitar insights, lick lessons, stage craft or stuff like that...
Does it matter if he makes a mistake? Nobody in the audience is good enough to notice it anyway.
Spot on, at this level it's more of what an old band mate of mine called 'micro-fluffs', tiny wee slip ups that don't really matter
Try being quit and listen and limit your interruptions
Never!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P
should let him finish a piece then comment stopping the vid way to much
The dude does too much! There's a new trick on almost every beat 🤯
You paused so much before Eddie could even get started that I gave up. Good luck with your channel. Eddie Rules!
Aye, these are more critiques/analysis than a low input reaction- not for everyone! Cheers dude, hope you find something more up your street
3 mins in youve stopped it every 5 to 15 seconds. Im not sitiing thru that. Done
Aye, not everyone's cup of tea, hope you find the kind of thing you're looking for!
Why did you skip sooooooo much? It really is maddening how much was skipped.
Sorry John! If anything was cut out I'm guessing I didn't have much to say about it? On the plus side, the original is easy enough to find on here though 🤘
This dude does not get Eddie Van Halen. All he talks about is how it would be easier. Eddie made his own sounds with NO PEDALS or other cheap gimmickry. He became one with his guitar and amp, and innovated like no other, and YOU benefit from his genius.
Scottish?
Aye, well spotted sir!
@@JbfMusicGuitar ,it’s because my wife is from Glasgow,lmao
Why did you skip through so much
I'm not sure Keith, I'd guess if I didn't have anything to say for some sections I probably chopped them out when editing?
I know I'm a few years late, but dude, you missed 25% of the solo. every time you paused it, you jumped ahead as much as 10-20 seconds. Your analysis is spot on, but for gods sake, show the entire video. I've seen this enough times to know you missed some key sections. There was a huge jump of him running across the stage where he goes into the semi-finale riff. Just... Dude... NEVER INTERRUPT A GUITAR SOLO.
Cheers dude! I can't totally remember, but I think the bits where I didn't have much to say I chopped out when editing, so I'd probably have heard the full thing, unless I just skipped stuff by mistake, lol!
I couldn't get passed 4:05 because you yap too much.
Yep, gonna happen with an analysis/critique video! I've started putting a disclaimer at the start to say that I pause and talk about stuff instead of sitting and doing nothing, which seems to have helped let folk know what the score is!
@@JbfMusicGuitar I appreciate that. Though we can't see everything on Droid screens or any phone really. Thanks for understanding.
Too much talk and not enough Eddie
Fair enough bud! It's a tricky thing to quantity; like how much is not enough, how much is too much, you know?
Since the original video is on RUclips, I figure adding in more makes more sense. But can't please everyone all the time!
True. When watching and observing something you really enjoy it is hard to not talk about it!
@@Reffolution It really is!!! I'm trying to take all this stuff on board though, hopefully slowly improve these videos as I go :)
Frankly i think you have no business doing this. Take care.
Fair enough! This approach has been my main method of self learning for years; watching the greats and working out some of their tricks, licks, ideas and habits. I'd be seriously worse as a player and musician, if it wasn't for this sort of process
Is there anything I said that you disagreed with?
@@JbfMusicGuitar not at all, and I didn't intend the comment to be harsh. It's just too soon for a lot of us, and could be interpreted as sensational. I can't hear that tone without tears. Of course he would be a great one to learn from, he changed everything. Again sorry if the edges were a bit sharp earlier, keep true to your quest.
@@garydarland5259 Ahh, nope totally understand, cheers for articulating that.
I'd planned to do a video on his licks before his passing, but wanted to wait a bit so it wasn't released too soon. Could only bump it along so far before my schedule would be all messed up
If at all possible could you talk and interrupt the video even more? You're blabbering makes it hard to watch.
Yes! I'll talk *even more* next time! 🤣
If he played less notes I'd have less to talk about, if he was less creative I'd have less to talk about, if his playing wasn't as tight I'd have less to talk about, but I mean it's EVH... I barely even scratched the surface here!
The original video is easy enough to find on RUclips, so you can always check that out for an analysis free version 🤘
Critic please !?? and you play bad the guitar.
He's pretty much nailing it here- anything obvious that I missed?? A critique does mean it's bad, it's just a detailed analysis.
I'd disagree with you there- I'm pretty competent player. You can check the hundreds of videos on my RUclips channel. Or Instagram @jbfguitar
Is there anything bad I did in this one specifically?
@@JbfMusicGuitar Where´s your band, how many stadiums sold out, any award???..... c´mon man.
I understad your point of view, you are great on guitar and knowledge..... but you are talking about Edward Van Halen!!!!
It´s like someone making a review of Mozart.
@@eduardogarelli7740 No gigs atm because of lockdown, sadly! Mainland Europe, festivals and 800-1000 cap. venues are probably the biggest things I've done- not a patch on huge stadiums and world tours like these guys did!
I dunno man, the idea that you can't learn from things by reviewing them doesn't sit well with me. That's pretty much been my approach to guitar- look at what the greats have done, deconstruct it, learn from it.
Is there anything I said that you disagreed with? Thought I was pretty fair in this one?
@@JbfMusicGuitar Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,.... no problem man.
You have enough arguments to talk about guitarmen.
Edward Van Halen is a semi-God, but he was human too.
In this video he´s drunk and maybe other things.... some mistakes in his solo, are "natural"..... is Eddie, you know.
Anyway..... greetings from Cabo San Lucas, Baja California.... México!
OMG can I hear more than 3 seconds without you running your mouth?
Neverrrrrrrrrrrrr! Haha, here's the original- ruclips.net/video/L9r-NxuYszg/видео.html
You talk way to much (stopping video to much). Let him play, then analyze. Sorry, cant watch this with all the pausing
Live and learn, eh! I tend to do a straight 'reaction', then starty stoppy analysis thing these days as seperate videos. Hope you find what you're looking for to scratch that EVH itch!
OMG, I tried to watch this video and it was stopped at least 64 times. I randomly clicked on the time deal and every 30 seconds are WAY more, you wouldn't let the audience listen and get it. I appreciate you taking the time to do your reaction video but for the love the God, let him play and just save the comments for every once in a while. Not every 10 seconds. Just constructive criticism. Thats all.
This approach isn't for everyone! I'd rather get commentary than watch some one watching a video, adding very little and doing that over the top exaggerated reaction thing. But a lot of people like that. There are a tonne of videos like that, so I figure why not cater for a different group. Tomateo Tomato and all that!
Stop talking so much!
Unwatchable!
@@thomasblackwood3874 Hahah, sorry bud- was told to speak more in the last round of these I did... can't please everyone! On the plus side, the original without any talking or critiquing in on RUclips :)
You need to just stop talking please… your words are tragic…
What did you disagree with?
Who are you… you are not even close to being qualified to comment my guy…
This is just silly mate, if you follow that thought through then no one is allowed to comment on anything... We'd have to like every film, song, piece of art and even opinions from anyone who is more experienced in their craft than us. Your comment breaks your own logic here.
Seriously?
You actually think you can critique the guitar god?
You need to sit down!
Do you disagree with anything said in the video?
You really talk too much. Every two seconds an interruption...
Simple solution, don't watch an analysis or critique video, if you don't want commentary
@@JbfMusicGuitar Simply shoot the messenger. That will help.👌
you just wish you had half the talent he has
Don't we all! The dude was a true pioneer, probably the last for electric guitar, unless you count the Polyphia guys and Tosin?
Please stop talking !
