Post your EVH playing

What's Hot
Danny1969Danny1969 Frets: 10356

Thought it might be nice to post some of those Eddie moments from gigs and home playing / recording I know people on here have. This is my attempt at Spanish Fly, a piece I spent quite a while learning while we were all in lockdown before the summer. This is probably the hardest thing I have ever learnt as some of it is just so hard to stretch on an acoustic guitar some of the picking is pretty fast for a non shredder like me. It's far from perfect but this is probably as close as I would get 



So what have we all got ?

    Not only EVH playing, but EVH dancin’ too!! Well, not quite. On both counts.

    Yeah, back then, maybe 10 years ago we used to do a fair bit of VH, now we've all gone John Mayer and softly overdriven fenders :) ... That vid was taken in my local pub which is a real muso pub that has live music every Friday and Sat so I was quite chuffed I got it reasonably right

    Great job of the solo Viz ... one thing that used to hold me back learning his stuff was thinking about the key and staying in it before I realised more often than not he used the same pattern across the strings and simply started and ended in the right key. Like that last lick you did on the solo

    Yeah he was the Rachmaninov of guitar. Rachmaninov wrote totally pianistically; EVH wrote guitaristically - the notes just naturally fall under the fingers. Yup. Playing the correct notes isn’t the problem with VH’s music. It’s playing them correctly!

    Lovely Spanish Fly there old chap!

  • I posted this a while back on a thread about playing Beat It without a whammy bar. Normally I'd use a whammy bar.



    It's not a competition.

    Gave this a go a year or so back. The sound quality is awful but I'm sure you'll agree the lighting is excellent
