I agree. When you really pay attention and listen to Eddie's rhythm playing it's almost unbelievable that he came up with some of those patterns, let alone Dave coming up with these melodies over the top. Crazy good stuff.
wasnt sure i`d seen it before but i recently watched a show they did in the UK. Eddy was absolutely brilliant, as if he never was live. He was always on like white on rice@@CharlieLongGuitar
I always thought he approached rhythm guitar like the right hand of a keyboard player and did a really good job of keeping sonic separation between his guitar and Mike's bass. They had a huge sound for a trio and I think this had a lot to do with it. And it takes a lot of trust in your bass player to do that. Which speaks well to both Ed and Mike.
It’s so cool seeing someone that knows some music theory actually explain all of these intervals. These are things I’ve been playing since the early 80’s but never knew the names of the intervals and how they work. I just figured them out, out of necessity. People would ask me how I was playing those riffs and I could never explain it because I had no idea. I always wished I could teach, but I’m no teacher. I wish I had a teacher like you back in the day. My path would have been quicker.
I love that the title mentions his smile , cause honestly he has got that smile of a 10 year old boy that saw a guitar for the first time everytime he plays , love that about eddie!
Charlie, this is amazing. Watching this was SO eye opening, I almost cried. There's so much I've learned watching this ONE tutorial, and I'm 60 this year, and Arthur is setting up in my joints...so I don't need to tell you that chord formations on the fretboard are not only frustrating, but painful. Voicing out these phrases while not needing to be a phalangeal contortionist will be bringing me SO much joy for my degree of noodling. And while EVH will basically remain Royalty of this type of playing, I'd urge you to open up Dirty Weapons from Killer Dwarfs, and give Mike Hall a quick listen. These types of 3rd fill rhythms are all over that record, and sound no less awesome. From the bottom of my ❤; thank you..for opening up a very easy to comprehend tutorial for this ol' noodler... (I'm linking this one to my brother, who is also an aspiring noodler😉)
Thanks, I listened to Dirty Weapons based on your recommendation here...that song kicks ass! And yes, a great example of those same types of riffs. Sorry to hear Arthur wants to move in...he's a bad roommate. I just turned 56 and know a little about joints...if there's anything you can do to minimize systemic inflammation, it can really help! 🎸🎸🎸
Arthur hates curcumin! What is curcumin? It comes from the spice, tumeric. It is a great supplement to take for inflammation and as an alternative antibiotic. I get the NOW brand on amazon. 👍 Hope your jointers are feeling better soon.
Excellent and well done, Thank you! Yep, huge VH fan as a kid growing up. The car horn sound on "Runin' With The Devil," GOD. That Eddie's guitar mae the biggest sound ever.
Excellent explanation sir! I love me 3rds n 7ths that's why i selected your video. And Ed? The GOAT. Period. Even Les Paul said so and I aint arguing with Les Paul. I agree with all the comments here that Ed's rythm was the highlight of his music. And I agree with your favorite, mine too. May he rest in a din of hot guitar. Screw peace.
So great to have this framework. Most of us have likely done some of this, but aside from feeling like a cheat because it’s so technically accessible, I for one have never fleshed this out and exploited it. But Holy S###, if this is what Eddie was doing aside from tapping and shredding, I am down. I will never belittle the double stop interval again! Thank you! Another brilliant lesson and spot on take!
Ever notice how great guitar parts feel good to play? Like they make sense to the muscles in your hand ? Every time I learn a Zeppelin song ,that’s the first thing that jumps out at me. The chords and fills are like elegant equations in physical space.
Awesome teaching man! I’m so glad I stumbled upon your channel. Fun fact, I have a nephew named Charles Long and his son is my great nephew named Charlie Long. 😂 Keep bringing the great content! Triads for the win.
Great tutorial - thanks! It reminds of a quote from an old Guitar Player Magazine interview where Eddie Van Halen was asked about his approach: "Usually, I just two-note it".
Great tutorial Charlie, I dig the breakdown and practical application! Makes you realize there's much more to Eddie than his lead playing (though there's a LOT to that as well, as I'm sure you well know)
Thank you 🙏. I’m using Tonex from IK Multimedia. Very realistic to my ears. Thats paired up with some reverb in my DAW. Killer tone and the tech has made my life very simple
So on the "Feel Your Love Tonight" riff, when you say full on the 3rds, I don't quite understand. Are you playing the major 3rds of each note/chord you move to in the riff progression? Thanks
Thanks allot! Now I have to watch live without a net! Jesus! Here I am just minding my own business looking to check out a tutorial or 2 on how to play guitar, I click on your shit and here we go. lol
Did Eddie take guitar lessons except for piano lessons? but he must have took some guitar lesson somewhere along the line who taught him or is it all self-taught because I know he's a genius but I don't know
I’m sure the piano voicings he learned played a huge part in his style on guitar. I’ve never heard of him taking guitar lessons, just learning lots of songs!!
Really enjoy your channel but you really need to cut back on the gain/ distortion, it just comes across as a muddy clash of notes, no clarity, doesn't match your musical skills, please play something clean to actually show your talent, leave the loud distortion to the 17 year Olds 😂😂
Even as a youn'un I always said there's something diff about how he and Hendrix played. They weren't chugging bar chords like most other players, but I couldn't put my finger on explaining what i meant. I wasn't till I was older where I could explain exactly what you're talking about. These 2 guys made me always try to NOT play straight bar cords when I was trying to make up my own music. Nice vid! SWEET TONE! What's yer set up feller?
OMG Charlie, my hat is off to Edward VH for his spirit of innovation. Thank you for highlighting his expertise and finesse that too often goes unnoticed. I'm working on this!!
Great tutorial, and glad to see you are a fan of British amplification! Is that a Lacey VC50? I had one in my giggling days, it was a bit of a monster but after upgrading the tubes and speakers it screamed so sweet ;)
Cool video and nice guitar. I've always loved King Edward's rhythm guitar playing too. He just dug into those strings. Which VH song is that from 2:18 to 2:40?
Love how you break this stuff down. Removes a lot of the complicated "mystery" and makes playing this stuff more approachable at different skill levels. 🤘🎵🎸
Can I have a do over? I began guitar in the dark ages too. No videos. No iPhones. Just albums, the radio and your ears. Yeah and emphasis on barre chords with lame books that had tabs which didn’t sound like what was actually being played. . Give a kid a crap a## guitar with high action and heavy strings on a fat neck , then make them think they need to hold a fully barred F chord for multiple measures.That’s one way to lose enthusiasm.
Hey, do you know how to play the double stop intervals like this, in Harmonic and Melodic minor scales? I was trying to figure it out but it was not right. I can not find a single video on youtube on how to do that!

Eddie said once that he didn't like bar chords, because it didnt let the string "sing". He was right.
Really cool quote!!! Thanks for commenting!!
Zactly, strings aren't meant to be muted
Fair enough. But it really depends on the sound you're going for
I always loved Eddie’s rhythm even more than his leads, fantastic.
For sure!!!
I agree. When you really pay attention and listen to Eddie's rhythm playing it's almost unbelievable that he came up with some of those patterns, let alone Dave coming up with these melodies over the top. Crazy good stuff.
Number 100 👍 Eddie was indeed ‘Masterful’ in every sense of the word. No One Like Eddie - Period! Thanks for what you’ve posted here!! RIP EVH!!!
We owe him a lot! Thanks for commenting!

I, as well, love the intervals in Light Up The Sky. One of the best things Ed ever recorded.
I always thought he approached rhythm guitar like the right hand of a keyboard player and did a really good job of keeping sonic separation between his guitar and Mike's bass. They had a huge sound for a trio and I think this had a lot to do with it. And it takes a lot of trust in your bass player to do that. Which speaks well to both Ed and Mike.

I think when he had the guitar in his hands he was truly at peace and joyful. Thanks for commenting!!!
@@CharlieLongGuitar definitely
Eddie and Jimi played riffs and chords way differently any guitarists. Intervals and triads. 🔥
Right on!!! So much to take away from those 2! Thanks for commenting!
Most excellent lesson Charlie ! Instead of just talking intervals you show just how they are used.
So great hearing you liked it!! Go forth and ROCK!!!!
Chalie, can you post up a lot more of this kind of rhythm playing? I am totally sick of power chords, bar chords, and open cowboy chords!
Yep Ill do some more of this kind of thing soon! Thanks!
Thanks for posting. Been playing bass for years and trying to learn guitar on my own. This really helps
