@jordanrussell-howard9491 15 күн бұрын

@@leaveitorsinkit242 I think the main reason most struggle with the main riff of this song is just down to having limited experience with swing rhythms. Ed and Al grew up on a lot of jazz and music that's swung, and inherited it in their music. It is quite unusual for a hard rock band to "swing". Today, most young guitarists starting out on the instrument, that want to play hard rock and heavy metal, will mostly learn songs with fairly "straight" rhythms... because that's most of classic rock and heavy metal. They don't encounter many songs with swing rhythms, because it's not common for these genres... so when they go to learn a song like 'I'm The One' they make it sound like a typical metal riff! They then quickly give up, claiming it's "impossible to swing like Ed" which I think is a bit silly. It's not that they can't do it, it's more down to their limited experience with "swung" rhythms. All you have to do is want it... time and patience will get you the rest of the way there...

@jordanrussell-howard9491 2 ай бұрын

Watched this video with headphones, and nice touch Danilo putting the guitar in the left channel and the reverb for the guitar in the right channel like Van Halen I album! About Edward's timing, everybody has their own internal rhythmic meter, and most are able to copy it when learning from most of the greats, but Edward's was so unique to him and virtually impossible to nail because of how he felt the beat. No different than someone like Phil Rudd's drumming with AC/DC. No one can pull back on a beat like Rudd. Many try and get close but that beat feel is so unique to Rudd, it's impossible to nail exactly, Like Edward's beat feel.

I think EVH is the only rock guitarist who could release an album of guitar riffs and isolated guitar tracks only and the album go number one. The guy was a certified axe-monster!

It should be a rule for all guitarists to listen to the isolated track of I'm the one if they make excuses and think about punching in the lines to compensate for mistakes. It's one take and he is playing this crazy impossible rhythm with fills and two technical solos that move all over the fretboard and there are almost no mistakes or string noise.

I've had the original MXR 90 Phase Shifter ever since the 70's. It's fantatic. I had it tuned up once and the tech said, "well I'll be keeping that one" (!) Sorry pal. They switched the original orange for black so you have a choice. I'll take the original, thanks.

that was the first van Halen song I tried to learn. I gave up and went to runaround instead.

As much as I would like to agree I cannot. Eds toughest song is without a doubt Hang Em High. He throws the Kitchen sink at that song. It showcases every technique he ever pioneered in one song. Listen and you will see. And the swing? Off the charts.

I'm not a guitar player but I enjoyed this video and I love EVH and Van Halen! Thoroughly enjoyed this sounded a lot like the original!❤

Had to come back and say I would love to hear you try and play some of Joe's more amazing solos.

'hang em high' is way harder than both of those to play precisely like EVH 😎

Joe Satriani teached Steve Vai how to play guitar, Joe Satriani taught Kirk Hammet as well

The Pedals sound Fantastic!!! Both songs are monsters created by the best Guitarist Ever. RIP Eddie Van Halen

Joe might be referring to the most difficult to learn by ear back in the 80's when he was figuring out what Eddie was doing. Does that Selector switch in the Pup cavity do anything?
