After hearing the news of Eddie’s death I decided that I was REALLY going to pay attention to this video and really learn from it so I can get close to playing like one of my biggest musical hero’s, thank you for making this video, your helping myself and and many other grieve with this video
"Fun" pretty much sums up what I love about EVH's playing. While being very technically amazing it's also always soaked with personality and a tongue-in-cheek whimsy about it, which is way harder to achieve than simply shredding...letting yourself come through in the music is something few musicians really pull off.
For some VH1 tone stick the phaser in front of the overdrive, add an EP booster and use some plate reverb at the end of the chain instead of delay. Also, be sure to keep phaser and flanger out of the effects loop and in front of your amp 🤘🏻🎸
Bolt Lil Wayne's playing is so unique, full of feel, and extremely technically challenging. Nobody even knows what his habits really are, because when he plays his playing has the ability to wipe all memory from your brain, so you can't even remember what you just heard or saw. Incredible, if you ask me.
Heroin Cocaine Alcohol Blues guitar techniques he heard somewhere else. The first three led to his playing STYLE, especially live, the last one is how he picked his notes. 😉
Buy 335,do a vibrato with shaking your fingers,play A note on higher octave on high E string with rake,and play less notes you can and let the them ring out..and you are pretty much all set lol
Music Is Win The 'Habits Of' series is your gift to all guitar players out there! Thanks so much for doing these :) Would you like to do a Habits Of Randy Rhodes video? That would make the world a better place! Keep doing what you do man. Your contribution to the guitar community worldwide is SO appreciated! Rock on brother 🤟
Pedals are a must if you want to capture the attitude of a player. If you use Overdrive and bend a note ,it gives much more feel and opens your emotions up.I use a few.A Boss EQ,A EVH phase 90,A Boss Super OD,most of the time. Occasionally some chorus,flange and a wah,seldom however. Most of my tone comes out of my MarshallJVM210 100 watt and a 4x12 slant front cabinet. The tonal varieties of the 9 channel settings are unreal!! Marshall ,in my opinion still is King!! For a Meaty sound David you need SPEAKERS!!!. Pedals are a matter of taste ,as far as what sound you want.
I had that exact guitar loved it. I play a wolfgamg custome antique white now and had it pro relic like Eddie's main guitar of today. Best guitar I have ever know . You should try one. Great video. Love the little Eddie tricks use them. All the time. He was my main influence for last 29 years of playing and use it today in my band.
Thanks for these videos! Learning quite a bit with your perspective on these famous guitar players. If I could pick one to do next, I'd certainly pick "Habits of Tony Iommi". The man is an absolute monster.
It's important to note that Eddie's attitude was born out of necessity. He has said that, when young, he couldn't afford effects pedals and so he had to invent "neat noises" to be interesting. (See the Smithsonian interview for more). Also, the over-the-top aspect matched David Lee Roth with echoes of an old-time Vaudeville act. So, I don't think it was ever "I'm Eddie Van Halen" but rather an all-out effort to win over the crowd.
I would really like to see a habits of Andy LaRocque video. He is probably one of my favorite guitarists and has a very recognizable and distinct style. And it's nice to hear some stuff about guitarists other than just the most mainstream ones every once in awhile ;)
This is a good video, it has good tricks !!! But there is one thing that catches my eye, in a exactly EVH tone, the MXR pedal and flanger are set before the distortion, in essential in the LP VH1 is this one of the settings wich him uses. It is a plexus tone with these pedals on the face of the amplifier and an Echophlex delay in the return transport It is good to remember, Eddie van Halen uses a "Dummy load" inserted into the amplifier, making it possible, to also have more distortion with low volume with the Marshall plexy (eddie don't use a overdrive pedal to make more gain on the Long play of the VH1). Hugs!!!
Great video, but for my money, one thing that distinguishes EVH is his rhythm and how he integrates it into his riffs and leads. You talked a bit about his looseness on stage and I think that's in part an embodiment of that boogie groove that is in most of his work--especially the first DLR era. I think we guitarists have a tendency to overlook the relationship rhythm has to our lead play, and I think Eddie's rhythms and leads are inseparable. I don't know if there'd been those loose and funky Vai/Satriani evolutions without EVH "loosening up" what was a pretty straight-forward hard rock heritage.
Then theres other habits like the use of symmetrical "scales"(like in i'm the one, jump, icecream man) and those classic van halen triad chords (unchained, panama). Also the palm muted riffs and of course the amazing rhythmic swing he had.
Once again I need to make videos don't need lots of gain 2 do artificial tapped harmonics. Think about the tapped chord positions in Dance the Night Away he rolls back the volume knob on his guitar and also the harmonics all correlate to the root note where you tap on the neck. Also pinch harmonics up and down the string think about the intro to the solo of right now
I call what Eddie Van Halen did was pulling things out of the neck, anyone that picks up a guitar and tries to play is actually trying to pull sounds out of the neck of the guitar, most people back before Eddie were still working to pull music out of the neck in the conventional way but Eddie pulled things out that peaked everyone's intrest, the things he did were always on the neck but most guitar players never thought to use them, but I believe Eddie was constantly searching for what ever was possibly a useable sound, things other people might have run across and just thought nah that's not how you play guitar, but Eddie along with searching for different sounds out of his amps combined it all and pushed everything to the limits that he could think of, this gave others the idea to experiment with their guitar's to see what they could come up with, I remember before Eddie came out guitar was kind of getting boring and nothing really new sense Hendrix, then all of a sudden out if nowhere Bam along comes Eddie like Steve Via said Eddie not only knocked the door down he crashed through it and splintered it.
I thought Eddie was a Lydian mode user.. the guy baffles me, he's like 2 extremes - ive been told he knows no theory.. literally just an "A" note on the E string.. but then ive been told he's like a Satriani theory God..
Habits of Tyler Larson please. Except raking and recommending Guitar Super System. Oh, that's all of them... Just kidding pal, I bought all your courses and I love them! :)

I was there. Just remember its better to have a couple great ones than several shitty ones. And have an ideal tone in mind.
David Nwokoye or do it virtually, but you'd need to buy pressure controlled pedals
David Nwokoye get in line bro
Pedals are a must if you want to capture the attitude of a player. If you use Overdrive and bend a note ,it gives much more feel and opens your emotions up.I use a few.A Boss EQ,A EVH phase 90,A Boss Super OD,most of the time. Occasionally some chorus,flange and a wah,seldom however. Most of my tone comes out of my MarshallJVM210 100 watt and a 4x12 slant front cabinet. The tonal varieties of the 9 channel settings are unreal!! Marshall ,in my opinion still is King!! For a Meaty sound David you need SPEAKERS!!!. Pedals are a matter of taste ,as far as what sound you want.
Honestly just get a high gain amp and a delay, reverb and phaser
Just trying to learn how to play lead is tough yu help alot in understanding the techniques again thanks for your lessons!!!

Thanks for these videos! Learning quite a bit with your perspective on these famous guitar players. If I could pick one to do next, I'd certainly pick "Habits of Tony Iommi". The man is an absolute monster.
Gee, I'm the first I think to suggest the habits of Hendrix. Thanks for the vid dude, this was awesome...
Eddie is also a great rhythm player as well as awesome at the flashy lead stuff, Panama, Unchained, Drop Dead Legs etc. he wrote many great riffs.

Thank you! The one I've been waiting for

That was awesome!!! Fantastic playing as usual!!!
You need to do Habits of yourself!!!!!

This was great! Let the metal madness ensue!
vai also did that tapping technique sir! "building the church"
I would really like to see a habits of Andy LaRocque video. He is probably one of my favorite guitarists and has a very recognizable and distinct style. And it's nice to hear some stuff about guitarists other than just the most mainstream ones every once in awhile ;)

FINALLY!
THANKS MAN!
Dive bombing the 3rd string is definitely a habit of his. Panama and I'm The One come to mind.
I've been waiting for this :)

ugh, JUST missed your opportunity to start with "THAT'S RIGHT, WE AIN'T TALKING ABOUT LOVE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT EDDIE VAN HALEN TODAY"
I thought Eddie was a Lydian mode user.. the guy baffles me, he's like 2 extremes - ive been told he knows no theory.. literally just an "A" note on the E string.. but then ive been told he's like a Satriani theory God..
You should do the habits of Adam Jones from Tool. That'd be awesome.
