Those VH tones you’re producing are insanely good. And your handwritten, step-by-step tablature gets a lot of the anxiety out of the way for your viewers. You are a one-man Guitar World magazine.
Really nice lesson!!! You make it look so easy, and you include all the little details. Very cool, thank you for posting this and taking the time to do it!
Very true. Plus Eddie's lead playing in the Hagar years became so slippery and chromatic. The bending and nuances. Eddie just makes it sound easy. His "voice" on guitar was truly unique.
please help,there is a song by van halen where u hear someone says take one and then it goes into a great guitar riff,does anybody know what song i mean
Thanks Marty I hope you're not going anywhere because there was a dude that was teaching Leonard Skynyrd guitar stuff from all of the guitarist from Lynyrd Skynyrd. the guy is a master at it and he left TH-cam to go teach golf,🙃 doesn't make sense to me, I think maybe someone approached him and paid him off to leave TH-cam. maybe Ronnie's wife?😂 anything's possible, he was a great teacher and I was learning all kinds of stuff from him not anymore. I found you you're a great teacher and I want to learn this stuff. And I can't believe that I am, being 63 years old and disabled i have old injuries to my forearm and hand and still do it. I cut a tendon in my right-hand when I was in my 20s and injured my left forarm really bad had surgery but it doesn't seem to be keeping me from playing guitar. I hope you're not going anywhere I can't afford to take lessons any other way.injurys are not affecting me, I'm not getting any issues from scarred tissue or any that s*** or nerves every thing it's fine I'm fine. And I'm learning an you're teaching me and it's great love you man God bless you keep them coming.😎 I think I might have told you ive been playing drums since I was 14 and those injuries don't affect my drumming either thank god
Thanks! Glad to help. For TH-cam I run a fractal ax8 in stereo into pro tools. I use a Friedman BE model and IR's. Add stereo delay and reverb in pro tools during mix.
I was always such a militant Roth era fan, yet "Black & Blue," for some reason, just slays me. I love the riff, his off the cuff approach in the fills & solo, and the tone is perfect. Really, really love that song since '88.
Beginner question here. When you click on a pedal on does it override your amp settings? I know when it's off your sound comes from the settings on your amp. Basically does all the tone come from the pedal while engaged?
I always run high gain on my amp and just roll back on the volume to clean up. You can use a distortion pedal to do that but I find that an amp with a high gain setting sounds fuller when rolled back for a cleaner tone. I don't like overdrive pedals. I just like a warm and mid range high gain amp setting. (Brown sound as Eddie called it)
@@joebob344 if you have a clean amp a distortion pedal will do that yes. It will make the amp have distortion when on. Whatever setting the amp is on before you engage the distortion pedal will be there when you turn off the pedal. I just use the volume knob in my guitar to control all that since my amp has a high gain setting for distortion I like.
I mean I'm a beginner guitar player and am actually learning how to play eruption🤔😀 and ain't talk about love and the intro to dreams that's got my hands full for now, but thank you very much Marty.😎
Hey man! I run a stereo delay. Left side about 250-300 ms. Right side 500-600 ms. Just depends on my mood. I run it usually with about 25% feedback and 10-15% mix. Unless I really want it wet then I go about 20-25% mix.
Lesson speed was perfect for me,but then I'm not exactly a beginner. Love your vids and your playing quality. Your tastes are so in line with mine. Subscribed, and thank you from the UK.
That's great to hear man. Thanks so much for the support. I really appreciate it. Doing the lessons and interacting with everyone is a lot of fun and rewarding. 😎🎵
Thanks so much man! I appreciate it. I have tweaked my tone so much over the years, it's nice to hear positive comments and have the support. Thanks for watching man!
Dude... you are the MAN!! Thank you for all that you do. If I had money, I would send you some. Also, can I come live at your house? heehee =VH= FOREVER!!
Thanks for the support and watching dude. I am more than happy to help and it makes me happy to know people get something positive from the content! 😎☮️
Nice Marty! I wish I would've had someone showing me songs 40+ years ago! Back then, you did what we couldn't to figure out songs! Lol 😊 thanks Marty ps how's Skipper?
I know what you mean man! Lol. Glad to help. Skipper is doing much better. He's back at work this week and recovering well. Still a ways to go but he's back working (thankfully work at home). He moved near Orlando so he's in sunny Florida. I'm gonna try and get down there in the Spring and catch up with him.
I saved this video and do a couple each day I just got a kramer with a bar it has been awhile since I've had one 2017 I had to sale my gear that day SUCKED I've always had a guitar since I was 14 and Monday I'll be 59 so it's never too late to ROCK or learn new songs on your guitar COOL 😎 video thanks and have a good day ROCK ON 🎸
Here’s one for the suggestion box. Would you please make a playlist of all Van Halen lessons? And you might as well make playlists categorizing all your past content. I want to go through the lessons without going through everyone else in my search. Thank you
Hi Marty, what a great idea for future guitarists to get their Van Halen feet wet. So many of Eddie's songs are tough to play. I needed some help on Summer nights which most of it is practice, practice and more practice. Peace ☮️
Glad to help man! I wanted provide some stuff everyone could get their hands around this weekend or later down the road. Sometimes I think the way Eddie approached the guitar is the complicated part. His feel and aggression and ability to make it sound so good! That's one of the biggest "tricks" of these amazing players. It's the personality behind the notes! 😎🎵🎵☮️
Marty I have a request: (I know you can’t answer everything that’s ok I’m just throwing it out there because you’re the only one that I know that can do this) The song “You and Your Blues”. The guitar part can’t be heard, like a TON of Ed’s music, the commercial version doesn’t do it Justice. I listen to a lot of VH covers to actually hear what Ed is feeling. And it’s incredible! You don’t hear the beauty, intricacies and fun of the music on the radio! I can’t read music I only feel it. Plus I’m a drummer. 😳 Your channel here is fantastic for that, and much more! But if you could play the chorus on You and Your Blues, I think it would be awesome! (The part where Dave sings “your bad mood’s permanent…”) What is the guitar doing there? It feels happy! I must know! Lol I’ve been trying to isolate the guitar but they have copyright on THAT album only, so a program like Moises doesn’t work. (Dammit Al !!) Thanks either way, great frikin’ channel!! 👍
I would slightly change the view from Camara alittle upwards to see your fingers on the strings better. Just a suggestion from someone who probably doesn't understand yet the terminology of guitar talk.
You're welcome! I use a fractal ax8 for TH-cam stuff. I record in stereo with pro tools. Friedman BE setting and Friedman IR's. I add delay and reverb in post just for more control. 😎🥂
Thanks as always Marty. I've been bumbling through most of these for years but of course not correctly (except Aint Talking I guess). I'll get these down.
Thank you! Yeh, I like to go see those guys when I'm in the area. I thought that Wonderwall marathon sounded fun so they handed me a Taylor and I let it rip. 4.5 hours later I took a free hat and shirt and went to eat dinner. Can't believe that it went in for almost 8 hours! Lol. Baxter and the gang are good guys. Great shop.
That's pretty cool man. I went to the Guinness world book of records at the half shell on Charles River back in 94 I think. Ben Orr was there playing the drums, I did get to meet him. and the guys that do dirty water love that dirty water. I forget the name of the band, everybody brought a guitar and it was the most guitars playing one song in 1 time for a Guinness world book record thing. I got a stand up cardboard silhouette of Ed and gave it to my daughter it's a shame but she lost it. Good times. There is a video on TH-cam I'm actually in a piece of it standing there watching on the corner of the stage right after meeting Ben.
I've had Some really good luck, I met Rodger Daltrey and John Entwistle i was only 13 at fresh pond in Cambridge Massachusetts. I saw Heart at the half shell on Charles River back in 77 don't remember the exact date but it was a free concert I met John Butcher, almost got into a after-party J.Giel. that's a story for another time. maybe a couple more but I can't think of it right now.
Dude I can’t get enough…..I’m gonna try to watch ‘‘em all and rock with you brother, you da man Marty. Sitting with my buddy showing him your excellence…..
Very cool-nice pieces to learn-the genius of eddie is unequaled. He wrote all this killer rock music-you guitar players know what I mean. Thanks for sharing how to
Thanks Geoff! For TH-cam (and simplicity) I run a Fractal AX8 in stereo into Pro Tools. I have a Friedman BE patch I have tweaked just a little (eq and gain) and use 2 Friedman IR's I have loaded in the Fractal. It makes it sound huge when I run in stereo. I add the reverb and delay in pro tools just so I can mix it later (more or less) if I decide to change my mind once I'm done shooting the video.
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker excellent sounds. I REALLY need to get pro tools...I have a bunch of Neural DSP amps that run through my monitors and sound glorious as well...otherwise for the time being I'm (stuck) running my HX FX through my SLO. (I know, woah is me)...I'm a big fan of F U C K and Balance tones.
@@GeoffSweet logic will work just as good and it's a better option I think. Take a look at that. Less expensive. I have a full version of pro tools 11 from a few years ago. I think now pro tools does subscription pricing. But logic is not. It's a great option anyways.
Eddie is the reason I became obsessed with guitar and began playing. I have always been afraid to try his stuff because there is so much magic that he adds to every song in between riffs, etc…thinking I would never do it justice. Your approach as a teacher is awesome…I recently purchased the Frankenstein replica that you are playing here and I am now motivated to learn as many riffs as possible. Including ain’t talking about love! thank you!
Marty, I had pretty much stayed away from VH licks, but I am in hard now. I do want to hear the tones from the PS Ibanez . I saw VH on their first tour with Sabbath, in around ‘78 in Niagara Falls. At the end of the set, EVH left his guitar against the amp wide open , feedbacking , and left the stage. It seemed disrespectful to me as an 18 year old , especially to sabbath. His tone and licks are cool, Everything is derivative, but he adds his own unique flavor, which you capture.
Man glad to hear you are working on some of the VH now. It's a fun rabbit hole to go down man! I posted a video of the Ibanez. It's pretty bad ass man. I love it. And it feels great!! I really appreciate the support and also for the kind words man. 😎☮️

Thanks for the compliment man, I appreciate it. I try hard to lay stuff out basic and simple so folks can get past roadblocks and get to jammin'!! 😎

Marty what's your signal chain for this video? The tone is absolutely spot on Van Halen
Thanks for breaking these great licks down Marty..can’t believe ‘Ain’t talking bout love’ was released in 1978! Thanks so much.
You're welcome Jeremy. I am happy to help. Makes it all worth while to know people benefit from it and learn. Thanks man.

Non guitarist like to think that Van Hagar Era songs aren't as difficult as the early stuff. Yeah try playing Summer nights correctly.
Very true. Plus Eddie's lead playing in the Hagar years became so slippery and chromatic. The bending and nuances. Eddie just makes it sound easy. His "voice" on guitar was truly unique.

Very informative info and your playing is spot on.
That tone is just awesome!
These are great but I feel like my playing has hit a wall lately. Just started playing in December of last year.
I suggest to start playing leads and improvising over some jam tracks. Find some funk tracks in em or G Maj at about 90-110 beats per minute.
