The fact that Eddie was 20, 21 when he came up with these approaches that had really not been done before, is the reason why we still talk about and admire his genius. R.I.P. King Eddie, and thank you for it all. Great channel Marty, and thank you as well.
Thank you. You have a nice easy going approach in showing, and explaining. Make it easy to pick it up, instead of having fingers covering chosen frets like others, and wanting to go back to play by ear.
I remember learning this 30+ years ago. I still have my notebook with the hand written tab. Now I can relive those lessons through the man Marty! Awesome channel!
It's so sad that we're never going to hear his genius. Ever again. It's Prashant Halen song I ever heard I was 12 years old. I can still feel the excitement could I get the first time I heard it. And then I get a lump in my throat. He was blessed with a gift from God. He just made you feel good when he played. It's not a long journey from the Cradle to the Grave. We better all enjoy everyday we're given
Wow I wish I had TH-cam back in the 80’s! Going to pick up the guitar and follow your jam on this one. Well done and an easier vh tune - but it truly captures his style and I thank you for that.
Thank you Marty for this amazing video. We all miss EVH and nothing better than learning with you how to play their best songs. Best regards from Argentina
Guitar Genius for sure !!!! EVH along with Nokie Edwards, Chet Atkins and a few select others really set the mold for guitar playing. Vito Bratta was another that was a complete guitar genius probably the best at what he did. This video is probably the best instructional video I've ever seen for this song !!!! Thank you so much.
Hi Marty, your Channel is fantastic for learning and discovering again Van Halen. Go on this way. Many thanks for the greetings: nice holidays to you too! 👋
One of the best Van Halen songs imo . He had such a great touch and with all those little nuances Eddie added so much magic so his playing & even simple riffs came alive . Great lesson .!
Ironically, he and Al kinda hated this song. They've said in interviews that the idea for the song was MUCH different than what it ended up being. Ted kinda steered it in this direction. Both Ed and Al's attitude towards it became, "Eh. It just is what it is." I think Al's quote was, "Let's play it faster so it'll be over sooner." 😂 The brothers, man.
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker That's part of the genius of the brothers. They could take something that maybe wasn't so great an idea and still turn it into "Van Halen".
This is fantastic! You've absolutely nailed it: Tone, nuances, harmonics...This couldn't have been done better had it been taught by Eddie himself. Excellent job! 🤘
I’m glad you liked and thanks so much for the nice comment. I really appreciate it man! I love this song and really wanted to share my take on how to play it.
I loved how Eddie could just the sound he needed a lot of the time just putting the guitar through a stack and using his volume knob & pick attack to get a cleaner sound. I often approached playing live like this. My amp & my channel switch, with a dual drive head. I always tried to approach things with a keep it simple stupid approach to my guitar rig/ guitar parts I wrote. Sometimes its not what you play, but what you don't. Serve the song. Another great lesson bro.
Hey Marty, in this video I believe your the first person to nail it correctly. Your correct saying that Eddie was always changing up is music from original. As Eddie had said it’s all about the feeling. Great job!!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback and for the comment. Eddie had a balance between technique and feel. He grew up listening to old school feel players and interpreted it the way he thought was right and relied on his instincts and musicality. That was the catalyst to the development of his “sound”. I think that’s why he adapted and modified stuff so much. You kind of have to approach his stuff with that mindset. (I think)
Nice little lesson. as a side note, I started taking a shot every time you try to get your hair out of the way. 7 minutes in... I am buzzing. Thanks for both the lesson and the buzz. Now, off to the woodshed!
Awesome, thanks .. new subscriber for sure. Tuning in the record 1/2 step down to E flat? Also, did I miss the part where you show "ooh baby baby won't you turn your head my way" part??
Marty have you ever done humans being it's my favorite VANHALEN song everything he does is in this song and the wicked octave climb at the end outstanding Edju
Be proud of your acheivements, this video was done extremkely well, thanks for your hard work. If you took the theory out oif the picture I could swear It was Eddie himself teaching this lesson.
I'm totally digging the guitar Marty. I have a white left-handed Charvel So-Cal that I've thought about getting a paint job on that's kinda stealthy. I would do a dark gray body with black stripes, and maybe an ebony fretboard. I'd love to have an old Beretta headstock too. In my mind it looks cool
Marty, in few words, let me tell you and with all my pleasure, that you have a great way to teach, considering the technical way of teaching but also the ability you have got, probably over the years, but I am also sure that being a teacher is something that belongs to our own DNA, those skills that a great teacher needs to pass his passion and knowledge to his students. Thanks and all the best! CIRO ✌🏻🍻😉
This is awesome especially since it’s in standard tuning! However it would’ve been even better if you had it done the complete song and included the bridge section! Thanks again
Can't wait til the Black and yellow gets here,then I'll have 2 guitars.I keep my wolfgang standard in flat tuning.I'm gonna keep the bumble bee in standard so I don't have to be retuning all the time.It's got the d tuna also.It's got a couple of dings so i'm getting a great deal on it,or I wouldn't be able to get it.Knocking almost 400.00 off.Thanks for teaching this song Marty,one of my favs 4 shure.Seen em in Raleigh N.C. 1979 when it came out.They opened for Boston.Great show.
True man. Eddie’s stuff was great but the foundation made it spectacular. In my opinion that’s why so many metal and rock bands from this era fell flat or didn’t have staying power. It’s all the ingredients. Not just one guy. Thanks for the comment! 😎
sice a few days i watching your Videos, and i really like the art of how you explain and show the different problems and riffs. Thank you very much. Would be great to know how you reach your heavy sounding sounds. also for the Def leppard Videos.
I like that the guitar appears to be part 5150 (upper left corner of body), part VHII (upper right), part VHI Frankenstrat (lower left), and part Frankenstrat with Red (lower right). I'm not sure when he added the red to the original Frankenstrat. Maybe WACF or FW era?
Yeh I’m such a dork. Sorry!! Lol It’s a B to C Sharp back to a B. It does that a few times then goes to A and then into the chorus. I know that may now help but that’s the basic idea.
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker i have a particular ginger, Bahboo, he's always in my studio when I'm in there working on songs or recording. He's our 'producer' 😆 if i could a picture of him here you'd see why. He loves to sit by the consoles in the chair or atop it's high back. Really awesome. He's the only cat allowed in there... we have a gang of them lol. No litter box in it, when he wants to go out he'll let me know in various ways. Waiting on your next vids brother. Hope you had a nice valentines day.
Excellent lesson, Marty. You totally explained and clearly demonstrated how to play that song. Thank you. I subscribed and looking forward to more of your lessons.
Dance the night away is my very favorite Van Halen song because if the first Van Halen song I had ever heard. I was a kid on the farm in Ohio where I grew up. I really wasn't exposed to secular music very much. My dad was a Pentecostal minister. I miss him and my mom very very much. Couldn't ask for better parents. We just weren't exposed to a lot of music. When I heard the song for the longest time. I thought the tapping that Eddie was doing what's the keyboard part. I was completely amazed when I saw him play for the first time and realized he was doing that on his guitar. Now this is the 1970s 80s I can't remember. It wasn't for that song I would probably never guitar at all. Music became alive after that.
Hi Matt. I’m a huge longtime Edward fan...since February of 1978 to be exact. You’re ears and explanations are expert level. Is there any chance you would do a similar breakdown of Romeo Delight? The intro after the tapped harmonics is something I’ve had trouble with forever. I just can seem to get the slides and rythym for it. It would be a miracle of angels if you could bless me with your tutelage on this very amazing song from our mutual hero, Edward Van Halen.

Bonus Dude.
I remember learning this 30+ years ago. I still have my notebook with the hand written tab. Now I can relive those lessons through the man Marty! Awesome channel!
I have a few learning disabilities and you are hands down the best VH teacher I have come across, my fav new channel, cheers !
Thanks so much man I am very glad to hear I have helped you out... thanks so much for the support man and Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁
I knew about artificial harmonics, but you blew my mind with that angled B maj harmonic chord strike.
It's a cool trick! Pretty neat too 😎
Fantastic lesson, and slick playing - thank you! Wish I could have watched your lessons back in the 1980s!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching man!
Watched this again. Great video. Great song. Been in awe of Eddie since first hearing him in the 70’s.
Rest in peace Eddie, you make this a lot easier than that other guy on here.
Glad you are watching and taking stuff away from the videos! 😁

Thanks! Yes TH-cam back in the day would have been so amazing!!!
We wouldn’t be ruining our records then!!!! LOL….. Best thing about learning songs in the 80’s was we all developed great ears!!!

Thanks Marty!. I really do appreciate your time doing these instructions. It brought me back to guitar playing after years.
You're very welcome! That's so great to hear man!
Hi Marty, the more I understand Van Halen thanks to you, the more I realize how much of a giant he was. Thanks for your lessons. Ciao!
Hire very welcome man! Thanks so much for watching. Happy holidays! 🎁🍺🎵🎵🎵

Thanks! Glad it was helpful man! 🙌
Thank you so much for sharing this! I’m putting together my first super strat and want to have some fun stuff to play when it’s ready.

Special appreciation for your great guitar tone 😍
Just wanted to back up what everyone else is saying bud. Nicely broken down and easy to understand. Great job! 👌

Well done Marty! You explain this all very well....love that you hand draw your chord shapes!
Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. It takes time to write this stuff out but it adds a personal touch which is what I go for. 😎🤟🏻
Marty have you ever done humans being it's my favorite VANHALEN song everything he does is in this song and the wicked octave climb at the end outstanding Edju
Not yet man! I want to. Seriously. I plan on it soon. I love that song as well. It’s amazing. Great movie too.
Hey CK,we all wish we had Utube back in the 80's,hell,I wish I had it in the 70's HA!
Lol. I hear ya 😂
Love this song! Great lesson Marty 🤘👍

I’m diggin the paint job. 🤘🏼
Thanks 🙏
Love the tone and the playing on this lesson, nice job. I always thought this song was done in E-flat though?
Only because Ed tuned down 1/2 step...It wasn't actually played in Eb on the guitar...🙃
Nice with both cat and dog. My dog does the same thing: lies down and listens to good music!👍
Thanks for the tips buddy, ive been earring it in eb, ill continue as i like the tone but using the tips you suggest, thanks brother
Lemmy says you are number one...well done brother.
Sweet I’ll take it! Thank you 😎🎶🥂
Great lesson! Thanks
Thanks man! 😎🤟🏻
I’m just starting to follow you. Trying to learn great lessons. Thanks for helping
Thanks for checking out the videos man. I hope yeh help out a lot! I appreciate your support. 😎🙌
Brilliant thank you

Can't wait til the Black and yellow gets here,then I'll have 2 guitars.I keep my wolfgang standard in flat tuning.I'm gonna keep the bumble bee in standard so I don't have to be retuning all the time.It's got the d tuna also.It's got a couple of dings so i'm getting a great deal on it,or I wouldn't be able to get it.Knocking almost 400.00 off.Thanks for teaching this song Marty,one of my favs 4 shure.Seen em in Raleigh N.C. 1979 when it came out.They opened for Boston.Great show.

@@Ranch5150SkinWalker Hey Marty,they also had POCO,they opened,then THE OUTLAWS,then VAN HALEN, BOSTON the headliner.
Oh yea,the bumblebee came in.Tremolo feels alittle tight but i'm loving it.
I know this is an Eddie channel but Mike's bass playing/feel is killer on this song.

@@Ranch5150SkinWalker So true. 100% correct.
Love that guitar
Thanks man!
Thanx Man-- Youre awesome
Thank you!!
Bro…. killin it good video thank you for sharing
Thank so much! Glad you liked the video 😎🙌
Nice. Was going to comment negatively, then thumbs up, now thank you
Rhythm technique is what this song is all about. Eddie excelled at it like everything else he did.
Em very true. The finesse in the rhythm is the magic to the mighty Van Halen 😎🥂
yore so fast for me, and I like that : Maybe I will learn Thx
Keep going man! It’s gets easier in promise! 😀
Happened on this video.. I never tried this song before for whatever reason, but how cool are all those little tricks? Thanks for the lesson!
You're very welcome!! Thanks for watching man!
You're very welcome!! Thanks for watching man!
Great job! Please keep your VH series going!
You’re welcome. I will! 😎🙌
Thanks for posting this!
You’re very welcome!
Quintessential!!!! Great.
Its so funny that no online teacher, teaches the 2nd riff where it goes "Ooh Baby, baby, wont ya turn your head my way"
Nice tone and an understandable lesson. Well done!
Thanks Shawn! I appreciate it and glad it had a positive impact! 😎
This is one of the best electric guitar lessons that I have seen. Hands down!
Thanks so much!!! More to come. I appreciate the feedback. 🎶😎
Dude you are so awesome!!! Liked and Subscribed. Now I know who to go to learn a new Van Halen tune!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
How'd I miss this? Subscribed.

Excellent tutorial man! Sidenote, have you heard Kent Carrlevi’s version of this song… it’s on TH-cam, excellent cover/ arrangement
awwsome lesson......me learn!!!!!!!
I think I missed the most about any being gone was watching him play guitar I just made you happy watching and listening to him
Such a kill lesson thank you bud figured it out except the harmonicx awesome .....thank you sir. 2thumbs up
Thanks for watching man! Glad it helped you out 😎🤟🏻
Nice vid man! did I miss the Oooh baby baby part though?
Yeh I’m such a dork. Sorry!! Lol
It’s a B to C Sharp back to a B. It does that a few times then goes to A and then into the chorus. I know that may now help but that’s the basic idea.
Cats! You have cats! You're now my favorite go to lesson king! 🐈
Yes! My cats won't leave me alone. Lol. They're good guys. 😄

Excellent lesson, Marty. You totally explained and clearly demonstrated how to play that song. Thank you. I subscribed and looking forward to more of your lessons.
Sounds great, but I wonder if you might say why there is a lag in the playback?
Great job. Great tone as well. I’m off to play VH.
Nice! Perfect Friday night right there. Have fun and thank you!

Great suggestion! I’m working on some new lessons so that most certainly should be one!
Super class
Another great vid, but isn't there another harmonic interlude which is slightly different?
I do believe he doubles it in the chorus sometimes with the individual harmonic taps if that’s what you mean? But no second interlude.
Thanks for the lesson. What amp and pedals are you using? Your tone is excellent.
Great tone!! Any detune or pitch shift?
Thanks! I believe I was in e flat or close to it for this one. 😎🙌
outstanding. thanks, youtube algorithm :) subscribed :)
Thanks so much!! Thank you 😊
