    I love these how to videos. Sometimes I watch Cameron do these crazy Van Halen tricks and I wonder how he does it. Its so satisfying to finally learn how to do it. Great videos keep them coming!

    That stretchy one you did, way back in the mid 2000s i got a hold of the largo 82 bootleg and saw him do something similar after the somebody get me a doctor solo. I literally didnt know what he was doing exactly so I just did my own thing since at that time i was at least somewhat familiar with that huge stretch. I still dont think i have it exact but it sounds close enough to what he does
    thanks for sharing this stuff, it’s definitely inspiring to me since i dont play as often as i once did

  • @KingGrio
    @KingGrio Před 27 dny +1

    That lick you showcased reminds me of a similar lick of Joe Satriani.
    You'll hear it on Summer Song.
    In the middle section he tremolo picks the G string and walks up the string and jumps to play a stretchy G pentatonic lick on the high E.
    After that he plays some dramatic double stops, and there the lick I want you to hear happens.
    It's a really fast pentatonic lick with the blue note thrown in there.
    I think both that lick and the Eddie lick you played are nice for mixing up your playing.

  • @carltone
    @carltone Před 4 měsíci

    I still find it hard to believe how advanced and outstanding Ed was a musician and guitarist . Some of the licks seem simple ish ( once you know how) but .. they did not exist before Ed brought them to life IMO. Great video thanks for posting you have the soul

  • @PeterLichOfficial
    @PeterLichOfficial Před rokem +9

    The lick at 3:18 is very similar to what Dimebag does on Throes of Rejection solo (3m13s) off the Far Beyond Driven album. Obviously, heavily inspired by Eddies diminished pattern you've shown here!

    • @Afurthyclays

      Hats off to you, good sir. This is a very cool lesson, but I knew right away when I heard it, only because that riff puzzled me for weeks, when I was trying to figure it out back in the 90s. 😂

    • @Afurthyclays
      @Afurthyclays Před rokem +1

      Eddie also does something remotely similar with his solo on "The Full Bug" from Diver Down.
      I trust you'll know it when you hear it. 😉

    • @ermonski
      @ermonski Před rokem +1

      You can hear that pattern in a ton of Dimebag's solos (but with different notes) like in Cowboys From Hell.

    I picked up my guitar the other day just for shits and giggles with an attitude of fuck it let's see what happens and well I found out that I still suck. The amount of time Cameron has spent perfecting his guitar playing is a testament to dedication at an early age. I'm currently 61. I don't think I have that kind of time (being an adult sucks), so I just watch and enjoy at .25 speed to try and figure it out. Love this guy.

  • @MetalheadNation
    @MetalheadNation Před 5 měsíci

    I’m pretty sure the stretchy one is influenced by Allan Holdsworth, one of Eddie’s favorite guitarists. He is also one of the greatest guitarists of all time, like Eddie, but incredibly under appreciated. Eddie took inspiration from some awesome Allan licks and transformed them into his own unique lines that are absolutely some of my favorites in the VH discography

  • @emartin787
    @emartin787 Před 5 měsíci

    Ed used to call his unconventional runs, "Falling down the stairs and landing on my feet." There was stuff in the middle that made no sense theoretically, but it worked, then he'd end where it was cool. Let's not kid ourselves.... it was ALL cool! Play guitar, and have FUN!

    • @CameronCooper
      @CameronCooper  Před 5 měsíci +1

      That for me was one of the reasons why Ed was so cool! He played with such confidence that the music theory which so many people treat as a rule book just didn't matter.

    This is funny because I actually wrote this lick myself. Note for note, using the throw shit & fuck it method myself lmfao, & I over-play it to this day even. When I heard the lick here, I was like... wait a minute... but it's just an obvious pattern imho.

    Yo Cam', it's a Floyd, is it a pain to tune it down so low, without instability?

    • @CameronCooper
      @CameronCooper  Před rokem +1

      What tuning are you looking to drop to? If it's a top mounted Floyd it's a lot easier to manage, floating bridges require more work that a tech should do, which involves changing spring tension etc
