Yes!! You included humans being! That’s my all time favorite Van Halen. It’s what opened the door for me backwards discovering everything else, back in 96, after I saw the movie Twister. What a great compilation! You’ve really got these down!
I'm like you, I came into this backwards as well...Oddly enough, it was Can't Stop Lovin' You that got me into VH...I loved that clean, palm muted Piezo sound...
Epic as usual Erik! Enjoyed every bit of that. I particularly liked the transition from Drop Dead Legs to Fire In The Hole🎸 Oh, and great looking guitar and good choice! I also have the EVH Wolfgang Standard Exotic Koa Natural finish. I think that there might be something wrong with mine though, it doesn’t quite sound like that when I play it😂
That was awesome. Eruption and black n blue had me smiling. Your playing made me realize a thing a two about Ed’s playing and that was a masterclass. Thanks!
Amazing EriK! And I have the same shirt from back in the late 1980s. I cut it into a tanktop as a teen. :( but i still have it!) You are a pleasure to listen to, and I'm sure EDDIE is smiling proud up above every time you play his creations so well! Thank you! Keep it alive!!!!!
@erik814u2 That was awesome! Thank you for sharing your talent in playing these songs. Brings back great memories. EVH rules! 🤘🏻and you did him justice.
Amazing, Erik!! Really loved your Finish What You Started, Black and Blue, and Best of Both Worlds. As usual, you were spot on. Tone, rhythm, and feel were all out of this world. And, your Eruption was perfect. Bravo!! 💪👏 Thanks for sharing!
I'd never cut a deal with the devil but I'd gladly trade my soul for your EVH talent. I bought probably the best looking Midnight Sunset that Sweetwater says they ever saw. The wood grain is amazing and I find something new in the wood grain every time I look at it. Between the pickups, the wood grain actually looks like the face of a wolf. I've often thought about just giving it to WVH in hopes of getting something or rather anything in return. LOL. Let me know how and I'll send you a pic if you want to see it. Please do a rig run down some day soooooooooooon! Many Thanks again Erik!
Erik, always love your videos bro awesome stuff if you closed your eyes I wouldn’t be able to tell if it was you or Eddie playing 🤘 was curious if you could do an equipment or setup video to show how you got the balance tone I’ve been trying forever to get that tone but can’t seem to get it as spot on as you! Rock on bud!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. The “Balance” tone is achieved by doing a wet, dry, wet setup with Harmonizer. Also playing it with an Ernie Ball Music Man Axis is ideal. 👍🏻
Please have a warning next time you play Humans Being. I had to turn it up above the max ya know. 5150 is one of my top VH songs. It looks harder to play than many of the other ones. Thanks so much for posting this Erik and hope you're happy with your new Wolfgang.

A lot of it has to do with my fingers and ability to channel Eddie’s feel. Because when others play my guitars through my set up, it sounds off…and they know how to play!! But I’m using a Marshall DSL40cr tube amp with EVH overdrive pedal, compression, Harmonizer, digital delay and my fingers. But I’ve also tweaked each pedal and the amp, as well.
@@erik814u2 Awesome. Thanks for the list of your effects. You are keeping his legacy alive. More power to you. I'll get there myself, eventually. To actually channel Eddie when playing would be so cool.
Well Eric, some day you will learn to play that thing. Keep practicing! Hehe, great job! Building one of those guitars right now. I keep adding to the, want to have list. Going broke here. Going to use the import Wolfgang pickups for now. Not sure if i like them. You make them sound good.
Thank you! I adjusted the height of the pickups, I flipped the direction of the selector switch, I adjusted the height of the strings slightly, I bent the whammy bar to be lower to the body and straighter. I don’t like the factory height or the extreme angle. Also, make sure to tighten all bolts from the headstock tuners to the neck bolts.
Awesome playing again brother! I need to get on with my next one - you have inspired me! Btw what are using to get your tone - is crunchy yet clear - very nice. Mind you it helps that you play so precisely. Great sense of rhythm - real groove in your playing.
I would've loved to hear 5150. I know you'd have to tune dropped D. And to keep the flow that would've been impossible. I'll just rewatch the one you did before. But, Thank you nonetheless.
This is THE BEST medly I have EVER heard!
Thank you so much!

Thank you very much! 👍🏻
Excellent, you never disappoint
Thank you! Appreciate that!
I’ve been watching your channel since about May of 2014, and if nothing else, I can definitely say you nail every Van Halen tone every time.
Wow. Thank you so much for sticking around!!
That was awesome. Eruption and black n blue had me smiling. Your playing made me realize a thing a two about Ed’s playing and that was a masterclass. Thanks!

Just curious, other than guitars, what amps and effects do you use?

Also. Have you ever shared the rest of your setup? Amp, effects, stuff like that. How do you get his sound?
A lot of it has to do with my fingers and ability to channel Eddie’s feel. Because when others play my guitars through my set up, it sounds off…and they know how to play!!

You are keeping his legacy alive. More power to you. I'll get there myself, eventually.

@@gk6993 You’re welcome!
BRAVO!!!
Yes
this is insane

Good luck with your build. It’s fun to do.
Very nice guitar...VERY NICE!
Will you make any changes to it, making it a little better...???
Thank you.
I already did. 😉 👍🏻
完璧!
Kickass playing, Eric!
If that's not a secret, what have you modified in your Wolfgang? I'm getting mine tomorrow, also Koa, but green.
Thank you!
I adjusted the height of the pickups, I flipped the direction of the selector switch, I adjusted the height of the strings slightly, I bent the whammy bar to be lower to the body and straighter. I don’t like the factory height or the extreme angle. Also, make sure to tighten all bolts from the headstock tuners to the neck bolts.
Very nice sounding guitar. Do you use any pedals as well, if so which ones do you like/prefer?
Thanks.
I use an EVH overdrive pedal, compression pedal, delay pedal, a chorus pedal and a harmonizer pedal for some of the Sammy era stuff.
Is that EVH Koa top? Sounds smooth & bold!!
Yup. It’s got a warmer sound than my other EVH standard quilt top in Chlorine Burst.
Awesome playing again brother! I need to get on with my next one - you have inspired me! Btw what are using to get your tone - is crunchy yet clear - very nice. Mind you it helps that you play so precisely. Great sense of rhythm - real groove in your playing.
Thank you very much!
Marshall DSL40cr tube amp with EVH overdrive pedal, Harmonizer, compression, digital delay and my fingers. Lol.
I like that axe! Is that Koa?
Yup.
Great!
Thank you!
bravO!
Thank you!
5 stars
Thank you very much!
😮🤘🤘🤘🤘🙂
how do you like that wolfgang?
I actually love it. Feels really smooth and has a much warmer tone than my other EVH standard.
What tuning?
Standard.
Too much on the low end but job well done😊😊😊
anyone got the name of the first song?
Pretty Sure it's Beautiful Girls.
@@alanr4845 sure is. thank you!

You’re kidding right? I’m guessing you didn’t make it past the 2 min mark mate😳😆
@@wurthit1239 I did listen to this while making dinner, so I must have missed it. I'll have to listen again.
@@gk6993 Ha! All good mate. I was reading your comment when I heard the intro riff. I thought maybe I was hearing things😆
Enjoy your day🤘👍
It is not brand new anymore 😂
😂 😂
Do you give lessons ?
BRAVO!!
Thank you!
