VH"s brilliance was in the concept he presented...wild...unchained...untamed... there are no mistakes that a dive bomb, a trill, a diving trill, a whammy-pulled harmonic pick-squeal , or an abbreviated legato into staccato run cannot weave into the fabric of the music! His asymmetric style, which he pioneered and implemented, left little to no purchase for the critics to desecrate with their talons.. I wish he did more straight up instrumentals...because, when he did...they were wildly, unfettered...awesome!
Hey super Cooper! Just a quick comment. You're a supreme talent and gifted instructor. I just want to encourage you and say how enjoyable and inspiring your vids are. May Holy FATHER BLESS you and your family with health prosperity and peace! Much love!
Cameron! You continue to blow my mind! Insane how accurate you sound. Got the notification about this lesson and quickly stopped what I was doing to watch. Can't wait to try it! Also looking forward to that release!
So damn fluid! And he is a good teacher as well. As far as TH-cam goes, I have learned more from Cameron than any other subscribed channels. I do appreciate his 'tablature-speak' too by the way. Many thanks!
Cameron - this is absolute quality thank you so much for posting and sharing. Seeing this the first time back on a grainy VHS in the 90's blew my mind (and still does). Just got to find the time to get practising!
You’re the man Cameron! Thanks!! I have the stealth and ivory WG Specials. I’m having a hard time not purchasing this Chlorine Burst. I’ve resisted to this point, but every time I see you with that guitar……..damn🔥
Nice to see you using the Wolfgang Special, because I'm about to buy one (but also still deciding between it vs the 5150 standard vs Charvel Pro mod DK24....). Great video as always!
I don’t know if I will ever be able to trill or tremolo pick that fast but I will give it a try… it’s bad enough I’ve been working on the Randy Rhodes licks the past few months and now I’ve got this to contend with. Attempting Eddie licks always scared me but I think it’s time to get going.
Awesome! I love these videos! I'd definitely appreciate some more Nuno and maybe George Lynch or Warren Demartini. Also best of luck selling that beauty of a Charvel
Hey Cameron, was wondering if you could do a breakdown of a really cool sort of unknown Eddie solo. It comes from the unreleased song called “main squeeze” you can find on TH-cam. The solo in that song is in my opinion one of his finest, I think you’d really enjoy it. Thanks for the content!
@@CameronCoopersomething that ive had a problem with for a while is finding that niche with hand position on the fretboard where its easy to solo faster, ive hit a barrier in the skill curve and i simple dont know how to get past it to pick up speed
@@CameronCoopersorry to waste your time like this but i must admit im somewhat envious in how easily you do Pentatonic stuff. My speed gets sloppy past a certain point and id love any advice you could give
@@stank7200 I've not seen you play but I'll put some tips here and please take from them what you will. With pentatonic stuff, I'd advise not to barre your index finger across. It can be really beneficial if you plan on staying on the top 2 strings for a moment but make it a habit of allowing your index finger to jump from one string to the next. When playing, don't press too hard. A lot of people slow themselves down by pressing really hard for no reason. If hammering on, press down with bare minimum needed to achieve the note you're after. No more no less. Sometimes picking less can aid speed too. Certain licks from players like Steve Vai really helped boost my playing within the pentatonic because it required a more dexterous approach which allowed me to sound a little more fluid. Once I teamed that with a little more picking, the returns came a lot faster.
@@collagefilmproductions8713 most of the Wolfgang pickups I see are zebra striped, not sure I’ve seen any in white but they look great with that finish
@@CameronCooper I agree, you are a hell of a guitar player I will give you that. I guess I should keep my jealous mouth shut. Didn’t mean to offend you. 🤟
5150 percent incredible
I see what you did there!!!
I wish more people would listen to the solo on Live Right Here Right Now... It's basically the same but just.. better...
I am going to study this video until my retinas begin to burn... then study it some more.
Thank you, Cameron!

Thanks a lot!

EVH licks sound like fire 🔥
Awsome Cameron!! Thanks for sharing with us! EVH = GOAT 🤟🤙👌👍🙏
Cam Halen back in the house 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼🏴
Cam, all the best with your VH course.. i'll be getting that when its out!!
Nice! Thanks, Bud. This vid is going straight to my ‘Lessons’ folder.
Be well.
Thank you for this! I wore out my LWOAN vhs trying to learn so many parts of this. So inspired!
Very Impressive work my friend!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Cameron! You continue to blow my mind! Insane how accurate you sound. Got the notification about this lesson and quickly stopped what I was doing to watch. Can't wait to try it! Also looking forward to that release!
It’s videos like this that make me understand why I consider myself a rhythm guitarist
Don't worry, there's much more work for a rhythm guitarist than a lousy lead player.
Thank you so much Cameron for breaking down these licks that we all love so much once again you're is phenomenal and you get better with time brother
So damn fluid! And he is a good teacher as well. As far as TH-cam goes, I have learned more from Cameron than any other subscribed channels. I do appreciate his 'tablature-speak' too by the way. Many thanks!
'Tablature speak' i like that. Since I don't make tabs, I'd have nothing else to say in my break downs aha
Been waiting a long time for this. Thank you so much.
Cameron - this is absolute quality thank you so much for posting and sharing. Seeing this the first time back on a grainy VHS in the 90's blew my mind (and still does). Just got to find the time to get practising!
Wow that's some playing.. To be able to reproduce the worlds best live (rock) guitar solo is quite a feat, nicely done!
Good job 👍
Damn , licks for the legendary Live Eruption solo . Always wanted to learn some stuff from this live . Thx
The Coop Troop ready & prepared for some tasty, righteous licks!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
that’s my guitar - got it last year 👍
It really is a nice fiddle…. Good on ya.
Thank you Cameron, I’ve been waiting for this forever!❤❤❤
incredible stuff. you make it look so easy, mate.
You’re the man Cameron! Thanks!! I have the stealth and ivory WG Specials. I’m having a hard time not purchasing this Chlorine Burst. I’ve resisted to this point, but every time I see you with that guitar……..damn🔥
Great video, Thanks Cameron , never cease to execute the RIFFS!!!!🤘🤘🤘
Ridiculously great player you are right there.
Yes dude...love this...its tabbed by hand on a guitar forum somewhere
I wouldn't know. It's easier for me to listen or watch it.
This is better than tabs thank you
Cameron, Love your videos. Keep it up!
Great video mate, and looking forward to the Van Halen course, nice one 👍🤘
Great Cameron you best Guitarist on TH-cam :)
That's awesome man.
Nice to see you using the Wolfgang Special, because I'm about to buy one (but also still deciding between it vs the 5150 standard vs Charvel Pro mod DK24....). Great video as always!
Killer video brother
YES! THANK YOU! 🙏 ❤

great playing by the way 😮
Awesome! I love these videos! I'd definitely appreciate some more Nuno and maybe George Lynch or Warren Demartini. Also best of luck selling that beauty of a Charvel
Sammy should have called you.
Hopefully part 2 - with the harmonic slap 'Mean Streets"section.
That would be nice.
Great video - nice one
Yes, the Mean Street section! That’s what we want

Awesome video! Would you be able to do a lesson on the mean street section?
I never bothered learning that note for note to be honest but I have taught the slapping part many years ago now
Super
Cameron im begging you to make a video about improving the economy of motion with your index finger to do scales / solos faster
What would I teach in that video though?
@@CameronCoopersomething that ive had a problem with for a while is finding that niche with hand position on the fretboard where its easy to solo faster, ive hit a barrier in the skill curve and i simple dont know how to get past it to pick up speed

You're playing as phenomenal missed a word LOL
VanTastic
the glitch at the start gave me a jumpscare
Same here haha
What kind of pickups are in that Wolfgang?
@@collagefilmproductions8713 most of the Wolfgang pickups I see are zebra striped, not sure I’ve seen any in white but they look great with that finish
Wolfgang stock pickups
this has made me realise how off my ear learing is 😂
You're not alone. We all get those moments
Bro i literally just learned this by ear😭
early??
?
Always flexing! SMH
The fact that I can teach it is not flexing.
@@CameronCooper yes you can but how bout teaching something other then shredding? For us lame ass players that can’t shred!
That's not what people watch me for though.
@@CameronCooper I agree, you are a hell of a guitar player I will give you that. I guess I should keep my jealous mouth shut. Didn’t mean to offend you. 🤟
