Mr Van Halen helped children with life saving surgeries , he was unselfish person who devoted a-lot of free time uplifting others . His music was full of energy that uplifted the world ! God Speed Superstar EVH

Rest in peace Eddie Van Halen. Most musicians become a legend after they die, but you became a legend when you first brought your innovations into the world. Thank you for everything. You will never be forgotten. Please can anyone tell me what song is it that he's playing at 0:37

Eddie's playing always puts a smile on my face

Setlist: 0:00 - 0:18 Hot for Teacher-1984 0:22 - 0:36 Hang 'Em High - Diver Down 0:36 - 1:10 Women in Love - Van Halen II 1:10 - 1:50 Hear about it later - Fair Warning 1:51 - 2:41 Unchained - Fair Warning 2:41 - 3:21 Light Up the Sky - Van Halen II 3:21 - 3:53 Dance the Night Away - Van Halen II

Thank goodness he got sober - he sounds incredible again even at this age

His voice is nothing like I expected...I dunno. I thought EVH would sound more like a surfer, instead, he sounds like a NY City taxi driver from the old days or a pizza maker from little Italy :-)

He holds his pick wrong. That's surely going to stunt his development.

I wish there are more videos like this, with multiple angles of EVH playing his guitar. We love you and will never forget you Eddie. Thank you for everything you gave us and inspired us to be.

To anyone who got this recommended 20 years from now, Eddie Van Halen to was the greatest to ever play the guitar and he always has and always will he my favorite guitarist. Rest in peace Ed 🙏🏻🎸

Idk why KZfaq keeps putting this in my recommendations, but I watch it every time

Greatest guitarist of rock n roll

I saw Van Halen in 1984, and to this day, has been one of the greatest concerts I've ever attended...and as aways, Eddie is first and foremost, a "tinkerer", and God Bless Him in his continuing endeavors!! "Those who stop chasing their tones, will never progress"...

I grew up in the 90's and early 20's, but this stuff was the only stuff worth listening too.

One of the greatest of all time, period! Keep on rocking' Eddie.

You'll be missed but you'll live forever with the incredible music you created. RIP Eddie and thank you!

This is just a mere glimpse into the plethora of epic, mega, rock riffs that EVH has come up with and duly poured out over us all across the years. The riff master general, and a musical genius. Amen.

nevermind the amp, where can I get a pair of those sneakers:)

Glad to see Eddie keeping up with new technologies.

Thank goodness for individuals like Eddie. Makes the world a more pleasurable experience.

I just can't believe the tone and clarity he got on the tap harmonics during the intro to Women In Love on the album. It just can't be replicated. He can't even do it as clearly in studio with all this great gear.

I highly recommend that EVH guitar to anyone considering one, have one right here, they are absolutely amazing!!!

he should take up the guitar full time . who knows , he could have a career in music .

When I switch from channel 2 to channel 3 it goes from CBS to NBC.

Man.... Look how Eddie's thumb curves right into the pick and connects with his pointer finger.... even the way he holds a pick is a beautiful work of art!

In other words, this one goes to 11.

That feel. 40 years later, ... untouched.

WOW how cool to hear Ed play the intro to "Hang Em High" that intro picking part is hard as hell, you gotta be quick and precise, typical EVH!

He made any singer better because of his guitar playing.

This guy has a shot at making it big. VH...rock legends!!

Have my eyes just betrayed me!?!? In all of my life watching Eddie play he has always held his pick between his thumb and middle finger. At 3:14 he switches to standard grip and uses hybrid, or chicken picking plucking with his middle finger for that one lick. I learn something new everyday.

Wow..its amazing how he stills glides around that neck not miss a note...absolute domain of a guitar...for me..the greatest

Eddie is why i started playing to begin with his ingenious approach and style will echo through all time

Rest In Peace Eddie. A huge chunk of the music world has died today.

Hang Em High would sound better with less gain, it was choppy because the gain was too high. Ed's classic sound was basically what he has said in lots of interviews -- it's a clean amp cranked to the limit with the correct speakers.

Eddie is a rock LEGEND who broke much ground for many that came after him! One of the all-time great MASTERS!

Eddie is inspiration! I saw him open up for black sabbath in the 70’s.VH totally shit the crowd down and got everyone to be converted ! In my mind the most revolutionary guitar player ever! He resurrected rock . Your playing is like an adrenaline shot to the brain! Ps give kudos to Wolfy! As a bass player I was impressed when I saw him

just hearing him play makes me so happy great guitarist

You seem to still love playing... How about sharing that love with us again by releasing some new music?!

A wonderful performance. Very great!😉👍✨👏👏👏👏 It is transmitted to my heart!

been a fan since I was 16 years old when 1984 came out!!!

Eddie always wanted to meet you. The Greatest Living Guitarist in the World

Eddie could play a dumpster and make it sound beautiful!

That is why we need Eddie Van Halen, and that is why we need a triumphant video.... EXCELLENT!

Nice plug for your new amp, you will always be the king. Voice Sounds like a cab driver I had in NY a few years back.

I'm always amazed by how he holds the pick ( between the thumb and middle finger )

'Hear about it later' at 1:11, bytches! My fave VH song

As much as EVH was a musician, the world also lost a technician, and that will be equally hard to replicate. His constant tinkering with his gear lead to a lot of innovations and techniques that the current crop of players take for granted. His constant chase for the perfect sound made all players better.

Always Complimented.Never copied.never duplicated.never another.Eddie Van Halen.

Eddie is the most important guitarist of my lifetime!

lovely, but nothing is better than that Marshall Plexi on the Debut Album,

I miss you more as time goes on Eddie, not less.

Couldn't tell you how many videos of him playing that I've watched, and paused constantly, to figure out how he was doing certain things..... But I CAN tell you that this is the first time, in 35 years, that I've seen how much he chokes up on his pick!!!!! I friggin LOVE the tone of the EVH IIIs!!!!

Want.Hes got the resonance all the way up ;)

NUMBER 1. EDDIE

Haven't heard him sound this good in decades.

Reading these old comments from months or years ago makes me want to go back to that short time ago where Eddie was still alive and kicking. What a loss.

His voice is like George Carlin i swear!

This lad will be famous one day

RIP eddie,he changed rock n roll forever,he knew what he was doing when he made Frankenstein,he was a tone chaser,an innovator,he was my biggest influence in grabbing a guitar(besides george lynch)

I like everything I saw on this video, everything!

But can he play Smoke on the Water?

would be awsome to see more of this..Eddie just jamming alone. would love to go see him.but since im sick it's hard

So glad someone had the foresight to hook Eddie up to film him playing so intimately. Great footage. Miss ya man! #MRChristopherTV

Great video! That's awesome!

Back when I was born in 1996, I grew up listening to Van Halen!

Why does his sound of the last several years always sound like it's recorded direct?

Sooooo many epic riffs in his library!

Eddie is still the guitar god after all these years. Rock on my man.

I really liked the tone of the Ernie Ball guitar and Peavey 5150 amp back in the 90s. The guitar sound on the F.U.C.K album did not come out "bright"(if that's the right word to say), seemed a bit muddled when mixed with the bass, drums and vocals. Maybe where he switched to Ernie Ball(new guitar for him then) and also the Peavey 5150 being new, just made it more of an experiment and somewhat a trial, butholy smokes did that tour for the F.U.C.K album sound great. The tone here is ok, it's Eddie, but I miss the past tones since I grew up with it...both the DLR and Sammy years

does it go to 11?

amazing juicy play. rich and full of groove.

There's maybe 10 Van Halen songs I like out of their whole catalogue but I could watch Eddie play guitar all day

But does it go to 11?

The tiny Dutch kid knows a thing or two …

great as always Eddie

So cool seeing Eddie's POV camera

Hands down the master of guitar, forever and always..

this demo guy pretty well maybe some day he will play in band

Will always be one of the best of his time.

I'm glad to see that Ed is keeping his jones for tones well fed. One of my early mentors, a Mr. Foster told me, "Everyone one of us has a muse and that muse has a creativity craving that demands to be fed if we are to receive the muse's inspiration in return." I reckon for Ed, it's realizing on the PC board the components and traces that allow his ears to hear what he already hears in his head and seeks from the without from his ears.

Yeah, I always thought your problem was lack of gain.

Hard to believe he really DOES hold the pick with is middle finger.

Such a great tone

This man is a genius. He had surgery on his tongue because of cancer thus he sounds a bit different. Some people made fun of him because of his lisp but I think they just didn't understand what he's gone through. He is one of the greatest if not the greatest guitarists in my life time. I grew up with the music of Van Halen. Whenever I felt depressed or just low I throw on some Van Halen and I feel happy again. Eddie is just a happy heart even with all his struggles. One more thing we both had the same doctor for his hip replacement and my knee replacements. Dr. Moreland. Lifesaver much like Eddie. Thanks Eddie for your years of dedication. You are a great man. I wish I could buy one of your left handed guitars but I can't afford one. Peace, broMark

channel 2 and channel 3 is 2 and chanel 3 go back into channel 2 and 2 and 3 are the same as channel 3 also 2 is three and .....wait who's on second

I THINK THEIR SHOULD BE MORE CHROME ON THOSE AMPS.....

Tks 4all! Riff in peace!

The music we take for granted

Does it go to eleven?

The title should be : Eddie Van Halen promotes his gear cause there's more talking than playing....

What a legend! Truly amazing.

I love his converse

It scares me to think when he is gone, so will be everything else to live on in the future, cause without edward ,who will we turn too?.

All I know is there are 3 before and after guitar players. There is before and after Chuck Berry.........before and after Jimmy Hendrix........and before and after EVH. Anyone who disputes this just likes to argue. Say what you want about the details.......

Yep he in the top 5 and always will be

Love hearing Dance the Night Away.

I know nobody cares, but I got the 1,000th like and I feel kinda lucky

kinda hard to sell the sound of your amp when you're playing through a pedal board that's worth more than my life :/

A true genius, gone too soon...RIP you will not be forgotten.

I love that Eddie’s not a big guy with big long fingers. Just regular size dude with monster skills!!
