    I always said to myself that this song was EVH's greatest song writing accomplishments. The verse, pre-chorus and chorus riffs are dirty as hell and the guitar solo and breakdown is classic Van Halen. Nobody played guitar like that when this song came out. The pinched harmonics in the riff playing was totally new back then. Spot on Sophie 👍

      Agree completely. Unchained has always been my fav VH song. To me it has everything that makes a true VH classic.
      Also, it's from a very underappreciated album, Fair Warning.

      You are right about nobody had that sound. When I first Eddie's guitar for the first time I was 13 years old and thought to myself what the hell was that I just heard it totally blew me away . I miss Eddie so much he was the greatest of all time.

    This woman has extreme guitar grit, amazing musical headspace, and the utmost intellect to learn these historical tunes to pay homage to our guitar heros. What a refreshing ride through her videos to see how a new generation is giving honor to the rock essentials we "old people" grew up on. Sophie deserves MANY more subscribers!

To see a young woman like you carrying on and embracing Rock Music and clearly very into what you play is very cool and Eddie would be a big fan I'm sure.

    This is excellent. A small critique which literally every guitar player who plays this song does. The flanger is only on for a small portion of the chugging. Eddie would literally turn it on and off during the song. Also I can’t believe you’re only 21 and such an accomplished player!!!
