    A little about me and this channel:
    My name is James Aubrey IV and I just recently graduated college from Iowa State University. After college I decided to take a leap of faith. So I moved to San Diego California to pursue my passion for videography/ UA-cam. Overall I'm a pretty chill person, outside of UA-cam I like to longboard, dance, play video games, lift weights and hangout with my friends. I know that success on UA-cam won't happen overnight but I'm willing to stay patient and put in the work to try to prefect my craft daily. This UA-cam channel will be centered around my life after college. You will be able to see all of the ups and downs on my journey to success. So if you like the content make sure you subscribe so you can be apart of the Rome Life Family. (Let's build our own personal Rome's together.)
    What is the Rome Life ? And What does it mean to be apart of it?
    Rome Life is something I started during my Sophomore year of high school (one of the worst times in my life) it started off as me documenting my journey to recovery from my shoulder surgery but eventually it turned into a platform that I could use to encourage myself as well as others to chase our dreams.
    Rome Life isn't just a saying it's a way of life and for the people who want to be apart of it have to realize that. Rome wasn't built in a day it took a lot of handwork time and most importantly patience. So you can't expect your dreams to be any different

    It is one thing to view this and be impressed.

That stretch and speed he has with a five fret span using his little finger, many can never do like this.

    ua-cam.com/video/L9r-NxuYszg/v-deo.html
    Tapping is a thing but Eddie was a force of nature. He couldn't read music. Someone wrote music for his guitar work but they had to invent a process for it as the sounds he made could not be written as traditional notes. Eddie joked he couldn't read that, either. 😄

I was already playing guitar for a few years prior, but only heard of the name Van Halen - never listened to anything of theirs. Even having know Steve Vai and Joe Satriani at that point, this changed everything again. Eddie was and still IS one of a kind. There won't ever be any one of his calibur.

    Eddie and his brother learned to play the piano as children starting at the age of six, so Eddie knew how to play piano before he mastered the guitar. Eddie said: "I started doing all kinds of weird stuff on the guitar, which became part of my playing. I started doing harmonics and tapping on the guitar and pulling off strings and doing all this weird stuff that no one had ever done before." There will never be another guitar player like Eddie. RIP sweet Eddie. Check out "Love Walks In" and "Dreams" .

      @JimFyfe-tb2df 4 роки тому +1

      @Keith Nowak Maybe so, however, the outpouring of grief from the music community over the last week would have definitely turned a lot of people on to his music if they hadn't heard him before. Like so many before him such as Prince, Bowie, etc. it sometimes takes their passing to ignite a new appreciation for their music. A lot of the time its not the fault of the new younger listeners that they haven't heard someone so iconic before, given that have the entire history of music at their fingertips in a much more accessible way than those of us who grew up in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, and are therefore much more eclectic in their tastes than maybe previous generations were.
      If EVH's passing introduces a new generation of people to his music, it ensures that his music will continue to live on.

    I saw them live twice. Once with their first lead singer, Diamond David Lee Roth, and once with their second, Sammy Hagar. Both were some of the best shows I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of shows. Eddie was one the people that made me want to play myself.

    Best reaction to Eruption EVER!!
    Early on until their 2nd album, he would typically play with his back to the crowd during his solos .... so people couldn’t steal his technique.

    You are totally right. Playing the guitar like a piano at times with 2 hands.

    Eddie Van Halen is the Greatest Guitar player ever. His contribution to the music world was monumental. There has never nor will there ever be another Guitar player as great as Eddie Van Halen
    He was a musical Genius a guitar god the original Guitar Hero. Eddie Van Halen is still missed very much today as when he died.

    It’s great to see someone from a different musical background get what EVH was doing here. I grew up with 70s rock. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath was the first album I bought. I enjoyed The Sugarhill Gang and Run DMC when they came along but didn’t get what they were doing. That came years later when I was watching 8 Mile and I got it. I got the context. I’m still a classic rock lover at heart though. I think our early teens are formative in what we first love but we can learn to appreciate other forms of music and maybe love it too.

    Saw in concert with Roth, one of the best groups to see live. Yes, he does all that crazy stuff on stage, at least he did when I saw them. They all had their solos in concert that lasted a LONG time. Eddie is one of the best!!

  • @youravgjoe42
    @youravgjoe42 4 роки тому +1

    Thanks for the reaction. Every time Eddie picked up a guitar it was special and at each concert he did a variation of this long solo which strung together some of his more famous solos. I was lucky enough to see them in concert 3 times including during the last tour in 2015. There is another version the Eruption guitar solo (the live without a net version) which has superior audio quality and superior camera work. It covers parts that you saw in this video and several other parts, but that night he was perfection, if perfection could be improved upon. If this one is a 10 out of 10, that clip is an eleventy-billion out of 10. It's pretty similar to this so I understand if you don't want to review it, but for your personal pleasure even if you don't post it, I think you will enjoy watching it.

      Yup. Better quality recording, all around video and audio. Truly check that one out to. Its damn shame he's gone. His son Wolfgang Van Halen, named after Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, is an outstanding musician as well. His debut solo album will arrive June 11th 2021. At least 4 of the songs have been released already. Check out ^Dont Back Down'". Did I mention Wolf plays every note of every instrument on every song and soings every note as well on the entire album.. Yep bass, drums, guitar, vocals all of it. The video for the song I mentioned above has a nice way of illustrating his many talents.

    I was 14 yrs old when the first Van Halen album dropped in 1978. I heard the entire album on our local station who premiered it on that day in the afternoon. I have been a massive VH fan ever since (only with DLR up front). I saw them in 1979, 80, 81, 82 and twice in 84. Then when David Lee Roth returned as the vocalist in 2007 I saw them twice in 2007, once in 2012, and twice in 2015... Including the last time they played in the USA at the Hollywood Bowl. That's 11 times over 36 years. So I am a FAN. Eddie had a huge problem with booze and drugs until around 2008. When he was drunk and wasted on coke he was still the greatest Rock Guitarist of all time. And yeah; he did the tapping and tricks from1978 on. But in the 2012 and 2015 concerts he was so much better. I did not think it was possible, but he was at his best in his late 50's when he was sober. As for Eddie being the only guitarist who used the two handed tapping technique... He was the first to use it this way, and in many songs. But when the first album came out in 1978 almost every Rock guitarist on earth learned (or tried to) how to do it. There were many groundbreaking techniques that Eddie introduced, and he went on to become the most influential, as well as the greatest guitarist in Rock history. Edward Lodewijk Van Halen died October 6, 2020, after a long battle with cancer.

    Excellent eye in the guitar playing. Yes he is playing it like a piano, his only musical training was in classical and jazz piano, and he taught himself how to play guitar by going at it like it was a piano. Just one of the things that seperated him from all of the other guitar players out there.

    This is awesome but I can see clearly how he developed as a player when compared to live without a net. Comparing his tone wouldn't be fair based on quality of this recording but I really liked his tone better there too.

    • @angelone1839

  • @morlokvestai-kurak9680

    When he slides his hand past the pickups, down the fretboard, he is doing harmonics. You don't fret the notes. You keep you hand lightly on the strings. The harmonic notes keep subdividing as you move your hand down the frets. Takes a lot of practice.
    Now the part after that is also harmonics, only he's picking the notes with his thumb behind his right finger. Super freaking hard!

  • @petenutt

    Indeed, people do not play like this anymore. And the reason why this is so amazing is because he is showing the audience that you start slow and then speed up as you get good. It's a clinic on technique.

    Now if u think that’s something u need to watch David Gilmore of Pink Floyed, Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin and Angus Young of AC/DC. I’ve seen them all perform in concert. It would be very hard to put any of the 4 at number 1 but I’ve always been partial to jimmy especially when I seen him use a violin bow on a 12 string. It was awesome. But u make the call. Eddie was great I’m going to miss him saw them 3 times. Thanks a lot for the video brought back some good memories.!!!😎🇺🇸✌️

    • @ar47yrr4p

      When it comes to the top talents I think putting a number to them is foolish. My favorite has always been Angus Young...personally, but if I absolutely had to put numbers to them Eddie would be either #1 or #2 all time and Angus would be closer to #10. But then anyone can come in here and give very compelling reasons why so and so should be #2 or #3 or whatever.
      I think there are probably 15 guitar players in the world that could be considered for greatest of all time and it does a huge disservice to all of them when people just have to rank them.

    You can hear the influence of classical music, especially Bach, though Bach's music was much more technically demanding.

    I had the pleasure of experiencing Van Halen live in 1993 with Sammy Hagar. Jaw dropping doesn't even begin to describe what it's like. They opened with an awesome song Mine All Mine and would deliver the Highest energy show I'd seen. I would love to go back to that moment and re experience it He improvised a lot. There's plenty of youtube footage for you to get a sense of what it was like. View footage from 81, 93,, and 20070or 2008. For Dave years listen to Everybody Wants Some, Hagar Years Best of Both Worlds or Poundcake

    There’s a jazz player named Stanley Jordan who used to tap both hands on the fret board as if he were playing a piano. Also check out Roy Buchanan, who raised blues to nearly this impossible level long before Van Halen.

    You should see Yngwie Malmsteen, aka "El Maestro" the true master, do "Far Beyond the Sun"
    an amazing composer too, he even played with an orchestra
    I saw Eddie play live, also Michael Anthony did a bass solo, and his brother Alex Van Halen did a kickass drum solo, it was a great concert, 1984 Tour.
    Truthfully Malmsteen is much better than EVH. But EVH was the great innovator. But so is Malmsteen.
