Cool! It's an EVH kinda day off! I'm still jamming with the harmonics video (which somehow got me down the "I'm the one" rabbit hole) and I'm pumped about this video. I've half way played this but never took it seriously. It'll be good to get this one down. Thanks Marty!
Hey Marty I do have a question though. I know you have a Frankie Guitar, and many other super Stratz. Was curious as to why you chose the Les Paul for this lesson. Is it scale length? Easier to bend?
He sure did! The Kinks version is cool but lord it’s embarrassing to hear their guitar solo when you have the mighty EVH solo in comparison. He was on fire man. 😎🤟🏻
Marty your on fire brother! Another superb video . Your playing is off both the hook and the chain as is the tone,excellent tutorial....Again . I learned a lot. Thanks so much!👍🎸
Awesome job brother 🤘you have a great ear! I always pick stuff up from your videos and painfully realize that I have been playing some of these riffs wrong for years !!! Lol! The little stuff like pinch harmonics in beginning LMAO.. great job 🤘🤘
Wow Marty,you've been a busy boy.I can't keep up bro.You are badass dude.I'm so happy I found ya.Hopefully I can do something for you when I'm able.Been out of work for almost 2 years,so thank you so much.Daus in N.C.
@@christerrio8108 I can only imagine! I remember when Eddie used metal picks around the III era. I thought they sounded harsh or shrill. I need my picks to have some give. Tortex yellow mediums for me. 😁
Great lesson 😎🤘🏻 I’d love to see you do a lesson on these Band-Maid songs at some point. From Now on, Domination, Onset, Dice, Sayonakidori, Chemical Reaction, Reincarnation, Time, And Influencer.
I do not! I have contemplated getting one but haven’t been able to justify it. Made an unshark guitar build. Basically an explorer body with the same paint scheme…. But no cut out. You may have seen the video in my channel?? Anyways… if I can find a great deal on one I may snag it. 🙌
I’ll say it again, your lessons are the best ! It’s literally like we’re sitting down with you and you have a way to make it “easy” to follow along. How was the outdoor gig !
The tone sounds so “massive”, especially with the delay. I was wondering, is it really very loud in your studio as you play it, or does it just come across sounding that way? Whenever I try to get that tone, it ends up so loud my ears are ringing a bit when I’m done, which I’m not too crazy about.
Hey man, I record direct at a fairly low level so I don’t get too much bleed on my vocal mic. I mix it in post kinda loud. (And add a stereo delay in protools). It’s all fractal ax8 with a Friedman BE and Friedman 4x12 IRs. 😎🤟🏻. Thanks for the comment 🥂
Bro, I got one for you (about his pick) and this is NOT B.S. Always a V.H. freak and way back they played Dallas so of coarse I had front row just to see what the Hell he did. Amazing enough he walked to the stage edge (while playing) and as he went into tapping, flipped his pick into the crowd and it hit me square tn the chest then fell to the floor. Everybody around dove to the floor but I was standing on it ! Directly to my right stands a HUGE black man and used both his hands to keep me upright as the people scowerd the floor. Eventually they stood back up & this man looked at me & said "still got it" ? I nodded yes and he said "Cool". So, long story short, Live he used a medium ! and I about lost my life over 1.
That’s a great story man! So dang cool. I went to Zeke Clark’s house in Nashville years ago and he gave me one of Eddie’s 5150 picks and it was a thin. He must have changed a lot. Remember he used metal ones during III era??? 😳 lol. I can’t imagine using thins for a whole show. I hate thins. ☮️☮️
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker I remember the metal era but cant imagine "Thin" with his attack & pin-point strike. But, his pick slides would come-off better ?
My two R8’s. The one in the video and my Murphy Lab bourbon burst. I really love my EVH Frankie too. 1981 Custom is bad ass. Hard to pick one. The American Pro II strat is a great guitar too. 😎
OO you said the "A" word.... : ( Marty... you are Authentic. Real Deal rocker. Legit guy. Gibson is just marketing BS and market positioning. You could smell it on the tires of the construction equipment they used to scrap their own inventory.. You can love the guitars and the sound but I know you don't love the corporate BS. :) Stay Legit! We all need it. Gibson can't buy what you are. They just rent talent and live off their purchased past..

Sweet!! The pick hand was a lesson unto itself, in the pocket!!
Late to the show but glad I made it...
Welcome man! And thank you!
And YES his bends and accuracy is insane on his stuff!!! Amazing!
He really stretched and came up with some wicked stuff. And his inflection…. Damn.
Congratulations for 7k Marty it's an awesome tutorial!!!
Thanks so much! I can hardly believe it. Thanks for watching and the nice comment man. 🙌
Another great in-depth hand transcribed lesson. Thank you so very much.

Ed made that song come Alive! nice video Marty.

Nice one Marty! Good sound and great tips man! Cheers.

That’s great, glad to hear man! 😎🥂
Good stuff. I'm learning a lot from your videos. Great attitude and laid back style too. I appreciate that!

Thanks for the information.. 🎸
Thankyou Marty I have learned so much EDJU from you technically the hard easy all it takes is practice to unlock the key oh yeah
Wonderful! Thanks man! 😎🤟🏻
Always fun !
Yes for sure man!
Ever notice how many great guitar players are named Marty? Crazy good tips. You nailed it. Thanks for giving us mortals a shot.
Thanks for watching man! I appreciate the cool comment. 😎🤟🏻
thank you for you effort sir! You are a gentelman Mr Marty!!
You’re very welcome! 🥂
Dude you rock ,
Thanks brother. Love your stuff too man. 😎🤟🏻🤟🏻
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker you gotta do a show with us
Thanks Marty! Keep playing authentic!
Lol! I love Gibson. No shame here. All my LP’s are like my kids. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The flame on that LP.
Great lesson. I unfortunately learned the Kinks version.
Father Christmas never brought me a VH album 😂
Father Christmas! Lol. Thanks for watching!
Not dissing Eddie. He along with Dime and Christ and Lynch
Taught me artificial harmonics, listen and learn. Then listen and learn more
@@timothya2742 totally understand man! ☮️
Awesome job brother 🤘you have a great ear! I always pick stuff up from your videos and painfully realize that I have been playing some of these riffs wrong for years !!! Lol! The little stuff like pinch harmonics in beginning LMAO.. great job 🤘🤘
Thanks a million man! So glad you liked the video and the content overall. 😎🙌

Brother, just glad to bring content to the fans of Van Halen and guitar! Thanks so much for watching and your support man. 🙌
I never get tired of "Play Authentic" jokes... what a farce. Great lesson... love all the VH lessons!
Thanks Michael, I appreciate you watching. 😎🤟🏻
Dude, awsome video! Who's on the ending? Like the last 10 sec of the video, it's freaking cool!
Another great one Marty! Really hard to do on a Les Paul though! The tone from the AX8 is spot on too! Killer.
Thanks Andy!! 😎🥂
It's easier to do on a Les Paul than a strat. There's no wammy bar in this song so he probably played his Ibanez Destroyer.
Billy gibbons uses a quarter for a pick. That's how he gets those easy pinch harmonics. Great channel Marty
Yeh man! Or a Peso lol! I can’t imagine playing with a coin. Haha. Love BFG. One of my all time favorites!! 😎🙌
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker I have tried it. It works. Super easy to hit pinch harmonics but really reeks havoc on strings. Lol
@@christerrio8108 I can only imagine! I remember when Eddie used metal picks around the III era. I thought they sounded harsh or shrill. I need my picks to have some give. Tortex yellow mediums for me. 😁
Great lesson was hoping for the second fill -
Oops sorry man! ☮️
Great lesson 😎🤘🏻

Allen Garber has lots on in-depth vids on Ed tunings
Cool man!! 🙌
Do you have the evh shark or tried one?
I do not! I have contemplated getting one but haven’t been able to justify it. Made an unshark guitar build. Basically an explorer body with the same paint scheme…. But no cut out. You may have seen the video in my channel?? Anyways… if I can find a great deal on one I may snag it. 🙌
Eddie just tuned by ear , just to get the tension right in the strings , same tuning as he did live so the recordings were at the right speed
ThanksMarty oh yes
You're very welcome. 😎🍺
I want you in my band.
I’ll say it again, your lessons are the best ! It’s literally like we’re sitting down with you and you have a way to make it “easy” to follow along. How was the outdoor gig !
Thanks for the nice comment man! Outdoor gig was cool. Helped promote a small festival for some vendors and nice folks!
Rakes and scrapes thankyou

@@30pitchcleaver Dweezil claims Eddie used thins. I bet he changed up a lot though!
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker Wow, good to know.
Second half of the high register licks he does his bends/licks in A major. Which is in 14th position.
Marty. You have tell us all what's you favorite guitar in that collection of yours. My guess is it's that one that you are playing 😉
My two R8’s. The one in the video and my Murphy Lab bourbon burst. I really love my EVH Frankie too. 1981 Custom is bad ass. Hard to pick one. The American Pro II strat is a great guitar too. 😎
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker all great guitars 👍
what part of the u.s. did you grow up in?
Ithaca NY area
14:57 not 7.fret, but 10.fret
When will you teach us Girl Gone Bad?
My buddy Marty... Busted! Convicted of pick slides... Lord, LORD strike that POOR BOY DOWN!
Yeh man!! 🤟🏻😎🤟🏻
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker 😂
Half step down easier to play faster and bend
Very true!! Plus Roth could hit the notes easier. 👍☮️☮️☮️
I still have my Gibson logo taped off
Lol. Ahhh I don’t mind the logo. It’s just a guitar to me. But I get it. 😎☮️☮️☮️

eddy used metal picks that's how he didn't damage his picks
Dig the lessons and content - I subbed
Thanks a million man! I really appreciate that.
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker I Appreciate the time it takes to create and publish your content
Eddie slides at the end, he doesn’t pick it.
A Gibson LP for a VH tune? Shame! 🤣
Eddie used a Gibson PAF. Lol. So hey, I was going for tone. 😎🙌🥂
I've been complimentary on your channel, but bro, this just isn't accurate. Appreciate you though!
No worries. How so?
