One time I was late for work, and I was just racing through the streets trying to find a parking spot. It was a snowy slippery day, and I was blasting this song on the way to work. I just happened to drift around a corner with my car just as a pick slide went down the fret board. It was the greatest thing that every happened to me in my life.
That is a true legend and I'm jealous.
The ONLY way this can be any better is if you were in a Trans Am.
Oh please lie to us and say it was a Trans Am!
r/thathappened
Those little moments are prefect
*This Thanksgiving I'm going to be thankful that i was alive during the time of Eddie Van Halen.*
Amen!
Happy Thanksgiving brother!
We are blessed!
Long live the King
Edward Van Halen
✌💛🤘
Venger Exactly. This is for the youth of the future Man you don't know what you missed.
We were blessed by the gods.
Like seeing Mozart, or watching Michaelanglo paint that ceiling, I slapped his hand in ‘86 front row 5150 tour Minneapolis
One goddamn take. One guitar. We lived in the time of Edward Van Halen. All hail.
In fact we all living in age of Jimmy Page. And EVH is playing his version of what Page played that years, '75-'76.
Mate Jebach avoid the usage of “in fact” whenever you’re stating a subjective matter
@@matejebach5487 Page NEVER played like this. Ever. Page used to do open string pull-offs ala Heartbreaker. Very often quite sloppily. Seeing that technique was one of the seeds for Eddie. But, Page could never come anywhere close to this in his playing. He's a much different style. Much more bluesy. His fingers just don't work in the same way. He WAS an influence on Eddie. Absolutely. No doubt. But, Page simply never played anything like this.
@@matejebach5487 Page isn’t qualified as a guitarist to be Ed’s roadie
Devin Hull nice one asshat
This is the result of 10 years of practice 8 hours a day. Early home tapes show his progress 74 to 78.
Hard work, as always, was required.
The genius of talent is then revealed.
Hammer ons, Blues licks, fat power chords, sick slides, speed picking....complete SLAP in our guitar face!!!
That speed picking at the end is INSANE. It doesn't sound like a human can do that.
Agreed ! i am not even a VH fan as never cared for Roth or his style . But as a guitar player .. Eddie was no doubt .. the most innovative player from the late 70's on ! Nobody has influenced as many players as he did . It's not even close . True legend
@@SJ-ty5rw Jeff Beck!
@@billplaney2585 Jeff Beck is great and nobody would deny that, but I personally don't think he would even argue that Eddie's ability to make every song was beyond anyone.
The riff is very original but you can hear the influence of ZZ Top. La Grange was a song they covered before making it big and you hear that in this riff.
Eddie’s rhythm playing was as good as his lead solo’s. One track front to back. Producer Ted Templeman said when EVH came into the studio, he never made mistakes.
i think that's a stretch. he was an ok rhythm guy. as most rock- metal guys are. his forte was solo's and his infamous tapping technique.
@@bconni2 Eddie was great at anything guitar. 'Ok rhythm guy', lmao
@@manuelper he was average on rhythm when compared to some of the other guitar legends. but relax, its no big deal. he was still one of the all-time greats when it comes to rock- metal guitar.
Nobody could lay down groove and swag like Ed, a class by himself
@@bconni2 Name a few you feel are above him. He easily makes the title of great.
Not bad for a piano player
Actually he's a drummer 😉🤟🏻
Jack Roller no, he isn’t
@@jbisch272 Yes he is. He started out as a drummer then he and Alex switched. If you have 1984 as your avi you should know that.
jarjon76 he started as a pianist from a young age and won many contests as a kid , this is way before the drums
Know your shit well
@@LinkRocks he was never "a drummer". Their dad him a drum set and Alex a guitar. Before either learned how to play, they traded each other.
Never would have imagined this was a single take. Never.
It probably isn’t. What things make you think it could be?
He knocked everything out in one or two takes beginning with the debut album. Ted Templeman's words.
Why not? All he had to do is practice and then hit the record button and play it one more time.
Too bad he didn't tune his guitar.
@@63ah1275 Why should it matter? In context of the whole mix it’s fine.
is it odd how everything else plays in your head while listening to this?
lyrics,drums, bass.
BADASS playing Eddie!
hahahahahahahaah totally agree, you worded it perfectly,,,,,this is awesome to listen to
Not Really.
I hear it. He is a beast.
Drums base line DLR.... its all there.
it does for me with the drums i can hear the drums along with it but not the bass or singing
The guitar needed a cigarette afterwards and the amp filed a police report.
Amp was to busy crying to file anything and the guitar filed a rape report...lol
That’s funny!
Not funny
Haha!
How do you think Eddie Van Halen would have felt about sexual assault jokes?
Thank you for this!!! I still can't believe he's gone. 😪
Me too! 😥
😪 = Snoring
Hi
Hi
Yes we
3:25 - 3:30 probably my favourite part of any solo that I've ever heard.... after all these years it still gives me goose bumps
Also 3:16 - 3:21 Awesome !
The whole thing is just amazing. The song is just pure guitar at its best. I really don’t think any song has a rhythm and solo that are just impeccable to music. A true artist at work. It’s takes hours and hours for a great guitar player to write a solo. Eddy would do it in 15 minutes.
I like the slight pinch harmonic bends around 3:15. So much attitude. This is my favorite Evh piece and the video is just the coolest rock video ever
All played in one take (with band) on a '58 Gibson Flying V. interviewer "So how did get the clean sound overdub? Eddie "I just rolled off the neck volume and switched between pickups."
Legend..
That's really interesting, I never knew he recorded this with a Flying V. I figured it was with his Kramer or something, I guess because he plays it in this song's video...
Tone...hee Eye oh me
mick destiny Yep, true. Not an easy thing to do though, but I guess 6 years of heavy touring and 5 previous records will have you doing little tricks like that in your sleep.
I was not aware that it was a Flying V either. That said, I believe Top Jimmy was recorded with a Kramer Ripley Stereo (each string had its own volume). Tres cool.
one take.........that is the amazing part..................wb
This sounds like Eddie was writing a ZZ Top song! ♥️♥️
I've always thought Hot For Teacher sounds like ZZ Top's song Heard It On the X.
And I know they had a few ZZ Top tunes in their repertoire back in the Mammoth days.
Same basic riff.
Someone should send this to David Crosby....
" Meh" he wouldn't understand, long live Eddie VanHalen \m/
I actually watched a TH-cam video of that disgusting fat body the other day. Crosby doesn’t even deserve a “meh”. His guitar playing sounds like bird shit, he does not have a singing voice, he wasn’t prepared, he’s not close to a professional musician, and he really should say nothing at all, if he doesn’t have something good to say about the likes of Eddie Van Halen. He is the guitar god of all time. I don’t have enough time, to list all of the things, that he could do really well. Fat boy Crosby, keep your mouth shut. The majority of people that know who you are don’t like you anyway. Your numbers are climbing. Give it a rest!
@giglio33012 google him
When he was asked about Eddie Van Halen he said "meh". Hes a dick. Always has been.
@Mot Yrrah yeah! What you said!
@ Without Jim McGuinn(Byrds) and stephen stills(CS&N) he would nothing.
The man was a musical genius. Pay your respects. God loves Eddie Van Halen and I hope to jam with him into eternity someday when my time comes too. The man gave us the recipe. God bless his soul.
Hey Adam. I doubt anyone here was unaware of Eddie's "musical genius" ; perhaps a few. And we certainly don't need your suggestion on how to grieve.
Then you have to bring god into it. Why do people of "faith", always feel inclined to let the rest of us know what they believe. I don't claim to know what Eddie's thoughts were on this but, it has nothing to do with our collective appreciation of his many talents [guitarist, songwriter, father, key/piano player, putter of smiles on millions of faces, ect...], and it seems very out of place here. Go sell Fantasy somewhere else.
DreamBrother Adam is just exercising his right to say whatever he pleases, and I’m sure he doesn’t give a tiny rat’s ass about anything you have to say about his “faith”.
my name randy eddy van helan pamper
and jump
I’m sure all Eddie wants to do with this “eternity” you speak of is jam with randomers.
People seem to over look how super tight his rhythm playing was. This is one of several isolated tracks I’ve heard and it’s my first observation every time
Unbelievable rhythm player and still the whole song sounds improvised
Best rhythm guitar player ever
I wonder if him playing drums at first contributed to his genius on guitar? Especially his phenomenal rhythm playing....
I wholeheartedly agree!!! 👍🏻
@@anthonyj.m.4750 I think it is 2 things. First he played classical piano, so with a metronome. 2and, unlike most of us who spent years playing alone in our bedroom, he was always playing with a drummer. Or maybe it was all innate, who the hell knows.
I notice there are no gaps, it's incredible the work rate he puts in on the rhythm not relying on anyone else in the band to keep the groove going
I think his training as a pianist and having an example of "groove" like that of his father Jan in the house, to jam with, sculpted his understanding of music in a very unique way. While most people gravitate toward someone like Benny Goodman where clarinet is concerned, his dad was truly badass on his wind instrument. "Big Bad Bill" - the clarinet in that song is every bit as creative in its construction as Eddie's guitar playing. Signature groove. Impeccable timing. He had the distinct privilege of growing up with an orthodox piano teacher for a mother, and a big band, clarinet playing groove monster for a father. All he needed was a love of music, which we all know, ran thru his heart and soul like a lifeblood.
What kind of heathen would give this a thumbs down? I cried when I heard you'd passed away. You were an original. R.I.P.
EVH forever.
The most dynamic playing I've ever witnessed.
*anyone has ever witnessed
My heart is broken today - but tomorrow I'll rock my ass off listening to my favorite Eddie tracks. Heaven is having an Eruption tonight, rest in peace EVH.
@stubbornness makes a persons personality What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Fuck you.
Noone plays rhythm like Eddie. That fast paced blues has so much swagger. Also, absolutely love when he slows it down and hybrid picks that one part, so badass.
He was more than a rock and roll guitar player. He was a master musician. I have trouble finding the words to explain how impressive his technique, sound and rhythms are. He just makes you shake your head and ask “How does he do it?”
There aren't words. Might sound dated but I find myself saying "damn thar sounded cool as fuck" a ll the time when I listen to him
I don’t want to play solos like evh. I wanna play riffs like him.
Word! He makes even basic stuff sound killer!
You bet. Dude swings
@@trjb1767 Dude Swings- that's the secret right there.
@@marzzz1 Yeah, VH always had a monster groove. That’s what I hate most about modern music, no groove. There are a few people with it today, but not many.
And those sick licks!!!
These isolated tracks of Eddie's guitar playing are just off the charts nuts! One thing most people miss is Eddie's incredible groove while playing all this crazy amazing stuff, even the solos. Hendrix was the same way.
my two favorite guitarist
Built in swing and shuffling.
Interesting to hear that isolated. Never really noticed that Ed had his toggle switch in the neck position for the "intro verse" or whatever you call it and his gain was lower than usual. Brings back memories of learning to play it in my bedroom back in 85. Thanks for that. I loved Eddie SO much growing up! He will never be forgotten.
I'm not an expert on EVH's guitars, but I'm pretty certain the single coil in the neck position on the red-striped "Frankenstrat" was a dummy and not actually wired to anything.
Yes. On the frankenstrat.
This is true. I believe he played an Gibson explorer that was borrowed from friend Chris Holmes on this album. Also, he just rolled down the volume at the appropriate time for the "clean" sound. With the volume rolled back, the output gain of the guitar is much less, thus a cleaner sound. I do the same when I play. No footswitch
@@thedukeofno You are correct. But I'm guessing he was probably using a different guitar for that track. 😎
If I’m not mistaken I believe that sound is just him rolling off the volume on his distorted tones and using the same pickup.
I heard him say once that he used a 58 Flying V on this track. ✌️
Heard him first time live in 04. They started the set off in the dark with him playing alone. I absolutely shivered at how clean and powerful he was in person. Never heard anything like it. 1955-2020 RIP Ed
Listening to this kind of stuff really makes his loss hit home. R.I.P EVH you shaped the entire culture of rock and roll music.
The song that got me through puberty and made me feel cheated at the selection of teachers I had. The man will always be a legend.
I dunno, my grade 11 social teacher was pretty cute. Probably isn't anymore
Theres something so raw and visceral about these isolated guitar tracks, I just love it
R.I.P Ed, you were one of my guitar heroes!
And still is!!!🤘
There's a percussive element to Eddie's playing. That's because he started out on piano, then went to drums years before he ever picked up a guitar. He's playing the piano on a guitar. That's where that bottom end thump comes from. Incredible depth in that tone.
I never realized just how fast he’s playing...constantly. The isolation really lets you hear it’s just frenetic start to finish.
I dont think I've seen a good cover of this song.
This song has to be one of the most fast paced mainstream rock songs ever. The fact that it has stood the test of time and still in regular rotation on classic rock, oldies, and adult contemporary radio 35+ years later proves how legendary the talent here really is
I got my pencil. Give me something to write on , Man !
i don't feel tardy
Steve I always thought it said, I don't feel dirty!
Christopher T
The act of being late to class
class dismiss
listen to the back ground, some dude says "my butt, man"
He will always remain one of the best guitar players of all time.
No.... EDDIE VAN HALEN is absolutely 100% the best of all time "so far".
@@jakelance6 yeah and it's not even close
Perfect example of someone mastering their craft.
Eddie’s timing and swing is unmatched!!!
When I hear isolated tracks from other players, they sound weak compared to Eddie. He has such a strong command of the guitar. F ing awesome.
Not many lead players can play rhythm like Eddie can. IMO that's what separates him from most other guitarists. He can play scorching leads, but also play melodic rhythms that rival his best leads. The guy is a musical genius.
CHeck Randy Rhodes
He was made for this shit
Check _Blackened_ isolated guitar
@@reubinsp3171 Overrated
he had such good timing!! that groove, accuracy and mastery of his guitar style will never be matched
FIRST TRACK RECORDED. Done all in ONE TAKE.... NO punches..... simply unreal! Eddie Van Halen is beyond simply talented. He is not of this earth. Amazing example of greatness. Thanks for sharing this for the world to see what truly gifted talent is all about!
Where do you get this bs?! This is a composite edit of many, many takes, different tones, etc.
@@artysanmobile I think it’s just about mythologising the man, stories are better than truth. Anyone with a basic ear for mixing knows that editing/multiple takes are here. Doesn’t stop it being awesome!
There's a punch at 2:02, but that doesn't make the playing any less impressive. The guy was obviously a genius.
@@mattwinegar527 couldn’t agree more with you, he was fantastic. I don’t think editing on guitar takes reduces the impact of how incredible he was
He had the look, the skills, the soul, the brains and the desire to give the world something very few musicians can. I'm so glad I can to age with Van Halen. End of a generation. Who will take the torch from here?
th-cam.com/video/rDoye-EBH8Q/w-d-xo.html Youngblood has 'tude in Spades....
Simply put just flat out BADASS..Iconic song from most of our youths. Although you lived the life of 10 men hopefully enjoyed every minute of it,your riffs an style will go on for many yrs to come...RIP EVH...Thanks for everything...
Upon Eddie's arrival in heaven...
God: "Ed,what's up buddy?!...guess who wants to learn how to play the guitar?...this guy!"
That’s funny!
Eddie will be remembered for a long time by many guitar players.
brilliant, eddie was one of a kind, nobody like him... aside from his brilliant chops and innovations, eddie always put the music first, he had a bag of tricks nobody had ever heard before, but he didn't just stand up there and noodle for an hour, he played in a band, and made all his tricks musical, part of the music, part of the song... not the other way around...
eddie wasn't your typical guitar god showing you how he could tap, pinch harmonics, dive bomb, and shred, it wasn't a guitar clinic for eddie, he wasn't doing tricks for sake of doing tricks. eddie was all about van halen, the band, the music, the song... and his body of work speaks for itself... rip eddie. you will be missed, but your music will live forever.
Exactly that is what separates the greats from the posers! The greats focus primarily on the song and main melodies and perfect rhythm playing. Everything else they play is to spice up the song and give it energy and make it sound bad azz!
Greatest riff OF ALL TIME . RIP Edward Van Halen
Hearing the bare song with only Eddie's guitar shows how talented of a musician and true guitar master he was anytime he made music. Rock in Peace EVH
Was blessed to have eddies music since I was 13. Hard to believe that is genius is no longer with us. How can so much talent and greatness just disappear into the ether forever? Rip evh. You will always be loved and missed by so many people.
Man, it just sounds like he's havin' a blast.
He was ,that’s why he was always smiling
It's the originality that made Eddie stand out. isolate a lot of other tracks and you'll hear a whole lot less going on in a basic Rock track. It wasn't his finger tapping but his rhythmic skills that really made him shine. And he applied that rhythmic sensibility to his solos.
This LEGEND will continue to inspire me long after his passing. ROCK ON IN PEACE! Miss you King Edward. :)
You don't hear many guitarists trying to cover this song because it's just too awesome.
the guitar is not that hard and not at all but the drums are a pain. working on the cover of this. follow up to Panama. start slow.
Wolfie killed this at the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert. It was like Ed was being channeled through Wolfgang's fingers. Of course it was
@@morbidmanmusic Wow you are an expert in guitar and drums. Please post video of the guitar and or drums. I am a drummer and cover hot for teacher, but I am not expert like you. Please show me. Let me know when your video is up.
@@GlenPlumlee-c9r Yes his Son did great but it's a copy. There is nothing like the original, the inventor... the rest who follow are imitations. May be Wolfgang will come up with some original creative style his own.
0:31 sounds like a laser cannon from star wars. Eddie hands down had one of the most searing tones I've ever heard. It's incredible
I find myself playing this daily. To me, it is at least equal to the actual song. It is just what I need in the year of covid. RIP Edward.
Rest In Peace.....one of the best guitarists to walk this planet......and probably my favorite....
Funny how this is the part you listen too throughout the whole song with all parts playing. Although the only time I felt something was missing...it was where Alex had perfect timing beating the drums.
I've been playing guitar since the age of 15....I'm now 40
I remember being super happy whenni finally got the intro to "hey Joe"
Then I heard eddie.... And thought...
This is jimi hendrix 5.0
Who could NOT like this!!...the
pause at the beginning?
Thanks for sharing! I hadn’t
heard “HOT FOR TEACHER
instrumental before!
Eddie you will live forever in
my heart...always have! But I
miss you. I’ll never stop
thinking about you. Hit the
ground running!! God bless
your eternal soul.
~Debbi 💃🏻🎸❤️nuthin’ but
Love for you. I know you are
free to shred in heaven.
My homework was not quite like this
Eddie's riffs will last forever!
I've actually never realized how much swing is involved in evh riffs. They're almost, or maybe even impossible to replicate
I love these isolated tracks!
How did David put lyrics to this? amazing..
Yeah man, how the fuck can you even step into the vocal booth after hearing that guitar 😂 I would just walk home 🤣
A genius in his own right!
Pretty damn sure if he was from the UK he would have been knighted. Love ya Edward, the light will always shine.
The 30 seconds of silence at the beginning of the video sold me on it's authenticity, also the guitar playing as well.
His playing was so accurate and insane... RIP EVH....
The amount of detail and work that went into his playing is incredible! This was a labor of love!
No one else in history seemed happier with a guitar in his hands than Eddie!
The best Baroque - sounding rock guitar intro ever written.
That’s a nice way of putting it. Angus Young also has the baroque elements in his playing, then Eddie goes next level. I see them as a pair.
Glad I got to see Van Halen before Eddie passed away....just saw them once,but it was outstanding
Might be the closest experience to hearing Eddie play and record guitar for that album. Great stuff! Keep 'em coming!
I love this. In the first transition from clean to distortion you can hear him click into his distortion channel on his pedal. Now stuff like that gets chopped out without a second thought.
As much as i miss his playing, i think what i miss the most is the joy on his face when he was playing. Dude had his demons but damn that smile was about as infectious as they come. Rest easy eddie and thanks for sharing what you loved to do with us mortals
My god, how great is this? One of the best songs and solos of all time.
Fantastic. Also made me realize what a powerhouse bass player Michael Anthony is. I can totally feel the difference.
Engineer, from behind the mixing console: “Could you run thru that again, I forgot to hit ‘record’”.
Funny to imagine it!
His rhythm playing was awesome rip eddie
There are a lot of guitarists that get the word "greatest" thrown around with their name... I can't pick a greatest, but Eddie is for sure in my top 15, and probably even into my top 10. Guy was bananas.
Yeah, it's somewhat opinion with greatest lists. I mean mine has EVH at the top, 5 blank spaces, then start listing other guitarists under him lol.
@@sw1tched SAME! lol....
dave freeman Uhhhhhhh
So you agree that he's in the top 15... ?😂😋
AWESOME is absolutely right!!! Thank you for posting this isolated track! As someone who grew up listening to Van Halen, I, like everyone else was always in awe when it came to Eddie’s mastery of the guitar. But after all this time, hearing this isolated track leaves me just as flabbergasted as when I first heard Eruption all those years ago. The man was truly a ‘once in a lifetime phenom’. This track shows it. I feel so fortunate to have lived on this earth when the great EVH lived and performed
Immeasurable talent. You can't teach what Eddie had/has!!
it's so great to hear his fingers and his pick just going to work.
There will never be a guitarist greater than him. An absolute legend who will continue to inspire generations of guitarists to come
Forget about the amazing innovative leads, the second to none tone, the stellar songwriting, and all the genius guitar and amp innovations. We all know him for all that and for great reason. What he doesn’t get enough credit for is being the greatest rhythm guitarist ever and he should. The guy had “the swing” in his bones. To this day I’ve never heard anyone play I’m the One like Eddie does. Eddie was a true savant who’s the sole reason I picked up a guitar as a teenager, and there will never be another like him.
What a riff.. A great master... Like Blackmore, Hendrix, Rory Gallagher and Mark Knopfler
That pick slide in the beginning is from another world! Sounds like he’s igniting a light saber!
I love the slippery notes that flirt with time. Sign of a master musician just like an artist who creates tension and release dont forget about dynamics also grasshopper
The most amazing right hand in the history of musicians. This guy.......
Such fire and conviction ... Alcohol is Bad
Alcohol IS bad...and yet so so good. But bad....and good...and bad..and...lol..sorry, Im drunk
Starts at 0:31 You're welcome
I'm 53 and I'd say in my lifetime that I've heard this song somewhere around 840,386,903 times (just approximating lol) and when I hear these isolated tracks, I ALWAYS hear not one, not two, but several subtle little things that I never heard before. And I spent many, MANY hours in my high school years playing this song on guitar, trying to sound as close to the record as I could.
So who else wondered why it was silent at first, and then slapped themselves in the forehead?
No one
If it weren't Hot For Teacher, maybe. But Alex's drum solo intro is so damn iconic that you can't think of the song without hearing that in your head first.
Only people who didn't have the song permanently etched into their brain 36 years ago. Every beat and lick of Alex's drums were rumbling through that silence
its because this isolated track is from guitar hero, and as an easy way to keep the drum1-4, guitar, bass, vocal, and song tracks in sync they would just have silence in there. doesn't make a difference to what you hear and its easy for the guitar hero developers, if anyone wants to download all of the isolated tracks to this song i can upload it to google drive, just let me know
You expect me to admit that? Psh.
Virtuoso soloist here, tapping icon there - the real magic was in his rhythm playing... unbelievable stuff.
I randomly came across this. As a serious guitar player, I can state this is a phenomenal instrumental! Shug
I am shocked! I didn’t know how uncompressed is his sound, on both clean and driven tones!
Even more respect for him after that
So cool just to listen to even the guitar only.... what a great tune. The FREAKING RIFF MASTER: Eddie Van Halen
It's hard to wrap your head around how perfect that is for one take.
He’s got the best vibrato of all time!!!✌️
We were so lucky to have witnessed the greatness of Eddie Van Halen. R.I.P.
Never going to be another Eddie, ever. Him and Hendrix the 2 most influential guitarists of all time IMO
that SOLO though.....unhumanlike !
The king at the height of his powers!
Listen closely. This is one take including the lead and rhythm guitar. Only Eddie could pull this off! Makes 1984 a great album!
