Thanks for another great video... The thing I love most about Eddie's playing is the way he resolves a lot of his licks, particularly when he's hitting on octave harmonics, he just always knows which notes to make it feel warm and sonically comfortable to the ear. Probably my favorite example of this is during his solo on Live without a Net when he gets toward the end of the solo (around the 10:25 mark if you're watching just the solo on UA-cam). The way he taps the octave harmonics and bends them to the desired pitches over and over again, only to resolve to a very pleasing note... And he doesn't just give you the note, he flirts with your ears for a little while, because you know that particular note is coming, and that makes hearing it that much better when it arrives.
True, I agree with you! His voice leading was great and really had a strong sense of melody and resolve. Thanks for the comment and checking out the video!
Best lesson online! The tab for the solo intro bit seems like it has a typo after the bend on B9. Thanks for the breakdowns, you are an amazing guitar teacher!
Of all the videos out there (marty) yours seems to work for me saw your jump video for the first time ,now I'm playing jump with the solo . Thanks so much for your van halen lessons. I've learned so much
Marty - I've lurked on your channel for long enough - time to subscribe! Thank you for these excellent breakdowns - it's simple things like this that bring tons of joy to life.
Hey bro,I havn't left ya,I just been busy.Damn,I love this song.Played bass on it in a band back in the day.gonna love trying to learn the guitar on it.Thanks again Marty.
What a great lesson, Marty! I was going to suggest you this song and here it is. Many people don't know that Eddie was a huge fan of Clapton and Page. As a matter of fact Rudy Sarzo posted on Twitter that he once met with Eddie at the Rainbow Bar on Sunset Strip and Eddie was so excited about the release of the first Van Halen album that he hoped the record had the same impact of Led Zeppelin I.
Thanks man! I was a little cautious about doing a lesson in this song, but it’s got some really cool parts and there’s a lot to be learned from it on several levels. Cool story about EVH. I dont doubt it. I think Van Halen are pretty much America’s Led Zep.
This is great for the studio cut, which is in standard tuning. But Eddie plays it live in what sounds to me in Eb tuning (my guitar sounds like his live) and that's how I want to play this song...live. I have seen every live version of this song on UA-cam here from the '80's to '00's. He starts the solo every time on the 20th fret, not the 18th. He only has 22frets, so its not hard to see his finger between the two last dots on his fret board...20th fret. He then goes to the 8th fret for the pedal tone of the solo...so, 8th to 11th, 8th to 11th, etc. But on the notes for "I got my back against the record machine...I ain't the worst that you've seen...oh, can't you see what I mean...oh, that's when I jump" (that's a chorus part, right?)...I'm still learning music as a guitarist/bassist/pianist so forgive me here...but if you watch his hands live (including what I think is the best version of this song live from the camera view/angle/focus perspective, not lead singer perspective (this guy is okay, but no DLR or Sammy by any means)...but watch Eddies fingers (on that chorus, by the time the camera gets on Eddie, it's on the last run of that "lead break"...but his finger is at the 11th fret of the A string, and looks like it goes up the low E (which are standard tuning names for sake of understanding)...but in Eb, what would the notes for the chorus (lead break) section be? Does this change effect the solo from the standard perspective? Two frets higher on the start of the solo tells me that there is. I want to play this live, but want to make sure that all the parts are correct to how Ed's playing it live. Here is the video of him playing this live: ua-cam.com/video/CpLQMFUMFZI/v-deo.html
My favorite moment : " This part is really easy ...I think" Yes..... sure 😅 I 'm still trying to figure what part was easy in all of this lol Great video, you teach like in a band situation, like you are showing a bandmate the part you wrote for him and that's the best part .
Great lesson Marty! EVH was a master at writing song's that people really connected with. I have the same Kramer guitar. I haven't gotten around to striping it yet. 5150 Thanks for sharing the love my brother 🙏
You’re welcome man, thanks for the nice comment. I really like this Kramer 1984. I snipped the tone cap off the volume pot and it really made it come to life.
Hey Marty,This was the most recent one to shoot you a message.I was checking ya & Johnny out & was blown away when ya said ya was from Binghamton.Hope I spelled that right,anyway,I use to play there at the L.I.E. Long Island Expressway, a underground club & Restaurant.That was one of my favorite places on the tour.I thought you were a N.Carolina dude like me.You always wearing your UNC shirts,but anyway I loved that place.Kinda reminded me of Ashville.I used to live there also.My drummer Mark Shwartswood was from Binghamton.Anyway thats great.Then you said you likes the Sammy years better because you were old enough to drink.Same with me except,the Dave years with me,1979 I seen them,I was 18.just old enough to drink.Back then it was 18 in N.C. Crazy hugh?I meant I lived in Ashville,if ya were wondering.
Hey man! I went to college at Binghamton University. Grew up near Ithaca. Nice to Nashville 1992. Lived there ever since. Split time now between Nashville and Chapel Hill, NC. Couldn’t take the upstate NY weather! Lol. Been gone a long time. 😎🥂
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker What's going on brother.Nice up there in nothern New York.Worked a shutdown one time about 30 miles west of Syracuse,Auburn I think,beautiful up that way.I think the drummer for Cindarella was from Binghamton ,was he Marty?Seems like that's what me drummer MarkTime told me.Spent 6 weeks in New York City back in 91 rehearsing on Wall ST. we went to woodstock.Nice up there.Tinker ST. Cafe 1 of our 1rst gigs.Many moons ago,I loved it.Play from there to Daytona and all in between.The L.I.E. was awesome,I wonder if it's still there.My favorite gig in New York.
@@dausblack2585 hey man! Yes the drummer Fred Coury is from Binghamton! Fun fact, the tour I was referring to (Heartbreak Station) was the first studio album he played on. They had used session guys up to that point. It’s a beautiful area when the weather is nice, however the weather is typically not so great lol. And the winters are brutal! Snowmobile country for sure!
Hey Marty... been watching your videos a lot lately... great stuff, man! Love that you were playing that white Kramer '84 is it? Been thinking of getting one of those to create my own 5150! I'm really looking forward to you being on the Johnny Beane TV Exclusively Van Halen show this coming Friday! Good stuff!!!
Hey man! Yep it’s a gloss 1984 with a Floyd 1000! Thanks so much. I am really looking forward to being on with Johnny Beane too. It’s gonna be fun chatting and jamming. I have some new content scheduled to go up over the next few days so more fun stuff coming soon. 😎
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker That's so awesome... loved this Jump one... I'm originally a piano, keyboard and synth player... have been fiddling with guitars since the late 80s but never as seriously as keyboards... loved Eddie for making Synth playing COOL! He took synth playing to a different level than Floyd, Styx, Ozzy, Dio, etc. back in the day.
Hey this is awsome! I find I am getting a bit too much extranious noise when I am tapping on the g string part? Any thoughts? Do you still mute the low strings with your right hand?
I’m new to guitar and I’m trying to learn some Van Halen song because Steel Panther introduced me to this band. And I don’t have a pedal yet, do you have a recommendation for a pedal?
EDDIE WAS A GENIUS,GUITARIST,HIS TONE WENT FROM GREAT TO ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC ,THEN HE LEFT US ALL WANTING MORE TO LEARN AND TRY TO REPLICATE THOSE TONES TO ARE GUITAR PLAYING,(Hopefully)!R.I.P.EDDIE,JIMI,JEFF BECK AND LES PAUL THE 4 OF THEM CHANGED THE WAY TO PLAY AND MAKE THE GUITAR COME ALIVE!!!😞🎸🎸🎸🎸🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶😢,BOB.
Thanks ! one detail on the great hook: The third time, when it ends on the higher note (A -G), my ears also hear that the C arpeggio starts on C instead of the F. This larger arpeggio opens up the riff beautifully to end the hook :)
Save yourself allot of trouble and just invest in some cherry lane tab books or get a subscription to Ultimate Guitar so you can play it the correct way. I like your channel.
I'm sorry to say that the Jump solo you play is very imprecise...lots of notes and phrases Eddie didn't play...or played differently.If you play by ear you have to improve and be more accurate before giving lessons...
I don't get all that tapping you did? Thats not in the song, and its not even the right style of tapping he does. He rolls through the notes not just hammer on/trills with tapping. You lost me there
Thanks for another great video... The thing I love most about Eddie's playing is the way he resolves a lot of his licks, particularly when he's hitting on octave harmonics, he just always knows which notes to make it feel warm and sonically comfortable to the ear.

True, I agree with you! His voice leading was great and really had a strong sense of melody and resolve. Thanks for the comment and checking out the video!
I love the subtle use of the higher notes in Barre chords to make really simple progressions melodic & breathe.
This is the most helpful breakdown of this song I’ve ever seen. 🙏
Awesome, so glad to hear that it helped. I appreciate ya watching man!
Awesome lesson!!! No need to look any further...Sir, you are a REAL TEACHER!!

Thanks, I really appreciate the support!
Great lesson! I love how the outro for jump is the intro for Top of the World from For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. Eddie was so fukkin ' slick!
Thanks man! I agree, he was a masterful guy!
