    Wtf. This is a 20-minute video documenting the music theory behind EVH’s mastery. Why does this barely have any views? I feel bad for you, man. This must’ve taken ages to make.
    Meanwhile a shitpost compilation somewhere else that took 30 minutes to edit, and has some fad in the thumbnail is getting 100K views in a matter of hours. Life just isn’t fair.

      Thank you very much, means a lot. Thought the same for my Randy Rhoads video, and it slowly accumulated an audience, so it seems to work slowly haha

      ⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@AidanHalmLove that video, love our king, Randy. Huge inspiration to so many guitarists and musicians. That video you made deserved all the attention it got. And I hope this video accumulates, too.
      I honestly wish videos like this that have real heart and soul put into it actually get the viewership it deserves. A video that gets views for being informative, intriguing and inspiring;
      in contrast to a video that gets views simply because there’s a furry in the thumbnail. UA-cam’s imbalance frustrates me into raw dejection.

    Love this. I could watch every VH song analyzed. 1984 is my fav album.

    Great video! Eddie and Alex had intense classical piano training, even winning local piano competitions. Their mother wanted them to be concert pianists.

    This is a really great deep dive into Ed's writing, extremely informative!! Your knowledge of music theory and your appreciation of EVH= amazing introspection into EVH music. Would love to see you do a vid on "girl gone bad", "I'll wait" or "house of pain". Some of these have a 'Holdsworth' influence in a way, he had jammed with him on and off several times

    Crazy that this only has 1.3K views. Lo-fi production (compared to some), but hi-value content.

    Makes you wonder how much his brain was thinking “theory” vs just having an amazing ear and writing parts that just sounded “cool”.

    You're zooming in on a young Alex referring to Eddie, then on Eddie when referring to Alex. Eddie is the kid with the toy drum not Alex. Also, per the brothers: Alex started on guitar and Eddie on drums. Eddie switched when Alex started playing Eddie's drums and was better than Eddie. So Eddie grabbed the guitar and the rest...

    Eddie wasn't influenced by hendrix. Not at all. Do a little research you don't know what you're talking about. You're probably too young

      Eddie also downplayed the Beatles influence on his songwriting. No matter what he says, it’s there. Same with Hendrix.

      Eddy says”Clapton is God”
      Mike drop

      ​@nhmike6890 yes in cream. Eddie says clapton was good when clapton was on drugs

      ​@notreallymyname Exactly subconsciously, but definitely there. Ritchie Blackmore was a big influence too obviously.
