at 10:00 he's using delay with really wet repeat/echo for the slapback effect .. and he's using his volume knob (vol. swells) and hitting the notes with just his left hand fingers. They're major chords (1-5-1-3 patterns) every 2 frets (whole tone scale) the song's called Cathedral👍👊

Watch closely kids, see that damn cigarette? If not for that he'd still be playing music with his son. Amazing how many haven't heard or seen this before.

“Patent number 4656917 was granted to Eddie Van Halen in 1987 for a flip-out support device that attaches to the back of the electric guitar or other stringed instrument. This contraption allows the musician to use a tapping technique by playing the guitar in a manner similar to the piano with the face of the guitar facing upward instead of forward. The device gave Van Halen the freedom to create new sounds and techniques that catapulted his band’s success. Eddie Van Halen also holds patent number 388117 for a guitar peghead, a tool that’s designed to help an instrument’s strings hold tension.”

The "twisting" wrist was unique to him. I've seen only a couple guys do it since then. One being Jason Hook who used to be in 5 finger death punch. The other thing where you went "what was that?", was something he did all the time. You hammer on and pull off on one string, and then drag your palm lightly over the strings at the body from bridge to neck or even back and forth. Doing that creates crazy harmonics. Once I learned how to do it, it has been in my arsenal for years.

After years of interviews and investigation I finally realized with made Eddie so amazing. He was self taught so he never had a guitar lesson to pigeon hole his guitar playing. He discovered things by trial and error. He created his own style because he didn't have any particular style that he was ever taught. There will never be another Eddie Van Halen. He and his brothers relationship was so strong that now that Eddie is dead Alex doesn't have any desire to play music again and he is selling all of his drum equipment because he says playing without his brother just is no longer enjoyable so he just Simi quit!! Now that is brotherly love!!!!!

Eddie was also an inventor and has 3 US patents... Your question around 9:44 about a pedal; well not a pedal at all. One of his inventions was a platform to hold the guitar sideways so back at 9:00, he flips it up and watch him reach behind the body and there are switches that change the pickups entirely. The wide black belt around his waist held that platform.

@setonhillstudios Ай бұрын

Wow! Such a Legend! 🔥

@ClaytonMacleod Ай бұрын

@tonynascar3 That platform you’re talking about is not on this guitar. He stopped using that long before this tour. I don’t know what you’re seeing, but it isn’t that. That isn’t there. He’s just holding the body up like that for a few seconds with his right hand while he plucks stuff with his left hand. And he’s not flicking any switches on the back of the guitar, because there are no switches anywhere on this guitar. It has nothing but a volume knob and one pickup. He’s just plucking the Floyd Rose springs on the back of the guitar. He spent have a cover plate installed over them. To answer his question correctly, the effect in use at this time is just a delay with a relatively long delay time, and just a single repeat. It is set to match the duration of the eighth notes he’s predominantly playing in this section, so when he plays a following note, the preceding note he played is having its single repeat sound at the same time. First line below is what he plays, and the second line is the echo. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 -1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 Edit: to clarify, with the echo sounding what we hear are eighth notes, but they’re playing in between the fourth notes that he’s playing. The cadence of what we hear matches my numbers shown. Play a note, silence, play a note, silence. And the echo starts with silence, and echo, silence, and echo. And the playing silence and echo silence are opposite each other, and the sounding notes are opposite each other. So playing four notes alternating with silence and four silence/echo pairings results in us hearing eight eighth notes. There are quite a few songs out there by various bands that use this same trick.

7:02 “What was that?” He’s just sliding the heel of his palm on his right hand lightly along the strings while doing very strong pull-offs with his left hand, the same three descending notes over and over, and he gets different harmonics as the right hand slides further along the strings. He does a hammer-on on the 3rd fret, does a pull-off to the 2nd fret, and a pull-off to the open string, over and over. Getting harmonics this way you really need to do the hammer-on and pull-offs harder than you normally would because of how much your right hand palm heel inhibits the strings.

@steveskull Ай бұрын

Yes arpeggios tapping at the end. You tap any note 12 frets from where you are fretting a note and you will get the natural harmonic. So at the end he was holding an E major chord and then tapped each note 12 frets from where he was fretting the notes in the chord. Except for Low E, open B amd open High E were open so he tapped on the 12th fret for those.

7:07 that was a palm muted slide harmonic - is the best description I can give that. I had 'Live Without A Net' on VHS back when it came out. The first time I heard "Cathedral," I could've sworn it was a keyboard. 12:26 the beginning riff of 'Mean Street' Eddie was constantly chasing the perfect tone. Fun fact: Eddie didn't use distortion pedals at all - in fact he rarely used any effects at all. For the most part, he acquired his signature sound using a mix of a flanger, phaser and a chorus. However, in 1978 on their self-titled debut album his pedalboard included these: • MXR Phase 90 • MXR 117 Flanger • MXR 6 Band EQ • Maestro Echoplex • Univox EC-80A Tape Echo • Remote Switches for the Echoplex and Univox

@@ClaytonMacleod You can clearly hear the wash of the phase in the live without a net solo. The rate is set at or close to zero and the mix if I had to guess is at around 20-25%. The only thing factual in your statement is there are no distortion or fuzz pedals. In that sense his gain stage and distortion is solely set by the amp. He also used a wet/dry/wet rig so his dry signal probably was just guitar and amp. The wet channels carried the effects chain and were blended in to the whole signal. There are other live videos of the 5150 tour recorded by fans and depending on where they were in relation to the stage the effects are more pronounced because of the wet/dry/wet set up. So yeah I know what a phaser sounds like.

That wasn't an effects pedal. Eddie loved to figure out sounds with just his guitar and amp. I was fortunate enough to see him do this live multiple times.

@ClaytonMacleod Ай бұрын

Yes, it was. He uses a delay for the Cathedral portion of the solo.

The Soft, Opening Ballad song is titled "316", it's a lullaby he wrote and would play for his SON, Wolfgang, whose Birthday is 3/16. The Actual version was Longer but this performance has been Edited!

I've seen Yngve Malmstein put a cigarette at the end of his guitar before to show that he was playing in real time.

Great video. Eddie is not using any pedal effects throughout his solo .This is him playing his guitar and hooked up straight to the amps Eddie was a tone chaser. In the video you will see him using the volume knob to play Cathedral . His does not use any distortion pedals either. I have an EVH Wolgang Special.I am not claiming to be as good as him, but i know what his does on the guitar.Miss him a lot

@ClaytonMacleod Ай бұрын

Nope, he uses a delay during the Cathedral portion. But nothing in the other sections.

This wasn't so much a guitar solo as it was Eddie saying check out all this cool stuff that I can do with my guitar.

If the world ever needs to put forward a solo to defeat someone in a head to head contest I’m putting up this one by EVH! Seriously, I’ve seen dozens of solos from all the so-called greats, Page, Hendrix, Holdsworth, Rhodes, Vai, Satch, et all but NO ONE can get close to the bluesy technical excellence, tone, passion and precision that Edward Van Halen brings. The guy was a MARVEL!

I wondered before how much those guitar picks would be worth at auction if you could prove it's the one he threw off the stage during this concert He throws several of them into the crowd and grabbed another one.

Awesome reaction dude 😎🤟🏼 , from 1978 to 1984 Is the 💎DIAMOND💎 🔥DAVID LEE ROTH🔥 era , from 1985 to 1996 is the 🔥SAMMY HAGAR🔥era me personally I prefer Diamond Dave not to say that the Van Hagar era wasn't good , But Van Halen when they hit the scene they reset the bar very high on live performances Dave as a lead vocals front man Eddie has a guitar player backup vocals Alex as the drummer and Michael is the bass player backup vocals they took no prisoners but I will say this Sammy Hagar was already famous before he joined Van Halen but I'll tell you a song you ought to check out and it's one of Sammy Hagar's old tunes THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO ROCK it's a live video that Van Halen does live you must check it out and you'll see what I mean about Sammy Hagar he not only could sing he could play a mean guitar but anyway ✌🏼 out
