    My Van Halen Playlist! • Van Halen
    In this Drop Dead Legs guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play this incredible Van Halen classic off of their massively successful 1984 album.
    The tuning is Drop D Tuning. That is, starting from the 6th string, D A D G B E.
    Eddie Van Halen' riffs throughout "Drop Dead Legs" are some of my favorite that he ever wrote. The main riff is played during the verse sections, and it employs a very tricky technique that sounds like he is using a whammy bar, but in fact, he is creating that effect with his frethand fingers. Really ingenious how he puts it together all within a rock solid and laid back groove.
    The other main section of "Drop Dead Legs" moves all over the fretboard while using a number of techniques including some legato based 3 note-per-string licks. It is really fun to play once you get it under your fingers.
    Although I usually cover the solos of the songs that I teach, I have decided not to even try with this one. This solo has many parts that are just un-recreatable. For that reason, I have decided to skip it. :)
    Have fun guys! #dropdeadlegsguitarlesson #vanhalen #guitarcovers

    I really struggled with that main riff you break down at 5:20. I studied in slow motion but couldn't quite get the notes to feel right in real time. Well here's how I solved it. Just put on the song and played it over and over and then it just fell in place maybe the 3rd or 4th time through. Lesson learned is to just go for it, the notes will fall in place with practice. No bypassing that. But I couldn't have done it without Carl getting me started. Good instruction coupled with practice. Thanks Carl!

    Totally agree about the outro solo : un-recreateable , probably by Ed himself, if you were able to ask him. But he could play something just as wild and bad ass as the originally recorded one, naturally.
