today on the channel I'm going to show

00:00:01

you six Van Halen intros that are easy

00:00:03

to play

00:00:04

[Music]

00:00:14

[Applause]

00:00:17

[Music]

00:00:25

hey everybody welcome back to the

00:00:26

channel today we're going to focus on

00:00:28

six awesome Van Halen introductions that

00:00:31

are easy to play I want to focus on six

00:00:33

easy to play introductions so everybody

00:00:35

has an opportunity to get their hands

00:00:38

around the neck of a guitar and play

00:00:40

some cool Van Halen regardless of your

00:00:42

skill level so let's start it off

00:00:45

the first intro we're going to start off

00:00:46

with is DOA which is off of Van Halen II

00:00:49

one of my favorite Van Halen songs and

00:00:52

that lick sounds a little bit like this

00:00:54

[Music]

00:01:18

all right so let's break that down this

00:01:20

lick is in the key of A

00:01:23

I'm tuned somewhere between standard

00:01:27

tuning and E flat Eddie Van Halen love

00:01:30

the tune half a step down for the Van

00:01:32

Halen Roth era stuff actually he tuned

00:01:35

about a quarter of a step down so our

00:01:37

low E this is our low E

00:01:40

between E and E flat

00:01:42

any of that old Van Halen David Lee Roth

00:01:45

stuff is going to be in this tuning

00:01:47

other than like jump okay

00:01:49

so let's take the take a look at the

00:01:52

song in a well first of all it starts

00:01:55

off with a

00:01:58

he hits an a chord on the second fret

00:02:01

and uh he's got his whammy bar in his

00:02:04

hand like this and we're gonna go

00:02:08

we're gonna just dip the bar down just a

00:02:10

little bit so all the strings Go Out Of

00:02:12

Tune

00:02:14

I'm only playing the first three notes

00:02:16

of this a chord which is a e a okay so

00:02:21

we got

00:02:26

little vibrato on it okay and he's in

00:02:29

front of his amplifier it's so loud he

00:02:30

gets feedback so I can't get feedback in

00:02:34

front of my computer monitors here

00:02:36

foreign

00:02:41

slide right so what that he does is

00:02:44

angles the pick sideways or at an angle

00:02:47

and we're going to pick on the low E and

00:02:49

the low a strings

00:02:51

starting with a humbucker up here

00:02:54

and we're going to play this riff I'm

00:02:57

going to take my middle two fingers

00:03:00

and my pointer finger is going to be on

00:03:02

this F sharp so the pointer the middle

00:03:05

two fingers are on the E and the a the

00:03:09

middle two strings

00:03:15

now I'm going to hit this F sharp with

00:03:18

my pointer finger so I'm hitting an a

00:03:20

chord

00:03:22

and then an F sharp

00:03:25

and we're going to go down to the low E

00:03:27

so it goes

00:03:37

okay and there's a little bit of a chug

00:03:40

going in there

00:03:41

[Music]

00:03:47

so what he does in between those notes

00:03:50

[Music]

00:03:58

he's muting the strings and he's going

00:04:01

to hit down once like this

00:04:04

[Music]

00:04:12

okay and then the second part of the

00:04:15

lake he goes

00:04:18

[Music]

00:04:22

it ends the exact same way as it did in

00:04:25

the in the very very beginning so what

00:04:27

I'm going to do is hit an a

00:04:29

and then on the G string on the fourth

00:04:31

fret I'm going to go

00:04:33

so I'm muting the rest of these strings

00:04:35

with my pointer finger so I can rake

00:04:38

into it

00:04:39

[Music]

00:04:41

because I'm breaking down all these

00:04:42

strings as I'm muting it with my pointer

00:04:45

finger and my my ring finger is on the

00:04:47

fourth fret on the G string and I'm

00:04:49

going to bend up half a step

00:04:53

so

00:04:54

like that

00:04:56

and then we're going to go open a

00:05:00

foreign

00:05:03

[Music]

00:05:12

[Music]

00:05:17

whoops let me try again

00:05:20

[Music]

00:05:28

[Music]

00:05:40

and Mikey's just doing the A and the F

00:05:43

sharp to add support to Eddie's part

00:05:46

okay

00:05:47

awesome let's take a look at another Van

00:05:49

Halen lick we're going to stay with some

00:05:51

David Lee Roth stuff for the next couple

00:05:52

licks and I'll show you a couple Hagar

00:05:54

heiress licks Okay so let's talk about

00:05:57

feel your love tonight all right so

00:05:59

we're gonna take a look at this this

00:06:02

song is an e and it sounds like

00:06:08

oh

00:06:11

[Music]

00:06:13

here

00:06:18

[Music]

00:06:28

okay so let's take a look at that what

00:06:30

I'm doing here is I'm doing kind of a

00:06:32

boogie woogie thing a lot of a lot of

00:06:34

Blues players a lot of old Boogie Woogie

00:06:36

stuff you learn sounds like this

00:06:37

[Music]

00:06:54

something like that right so what

00:06:56

Eddie's doing is he's playing off the

00:06:58

major and the minor so on the E chord

00:07:01

he plays a g and he goes up to a G sharp

00:07:05

[Music]

00:07:09

and that's how that lick starts with

00:07:12

this G and the G sharp

00:07:14

but he's in E

00:07:15

[Applause]

00:07:17

and we're going to go right up to this

00:07:21

e major Triad

00:07:24

you're probably thinking how the heck is

00:07:25

that an E major well if this is an E

00:07:28

chord right here

00:07:29

and this note right here

00:07:32

there's your major third

00:07:35

which is which is the G sharp

00:07:39

foreign

00:07:45

like to play major thirds you like to

00:07:48

Break Up chords

00:07:51

so we're gonna basically go down this

00:07:53

riff in thirds

00:07:55

[Music]

00:08:03

so I'm going to show you that part first

00:08:04

then we're going to add in the chugs

00:08:09

those things

00:08:10

which is just chugging on the low E so

00:08:12

this riff comprises of these notes g to

00:08:16

g sharp and then

00:08:17

[Music]

00:08:18

going to be up on the A and the D string

00:08:21

seventh and sixth fret

00:08:22

that's all the strings that we're going

00:08:24

to play

00:08:26

and the nice thing about this chord is

00:08:29

you can play the low E with it too

00:08:31

because it's an E major chord and then

00:08:34

we're going to take that same chord

00:08:35

shape

00:08:37

and move it down two Frets and that's a

00:08:39

D major

00:08:41

and this next shape right here is an a

00:08:45

major with a third on the bass

00:08:48

and it's on the fourth fret on the a

00:08:50

string and the second fret on the D so

00:08:52

it's

00:08:54

and then we're gonna go

00:08:56

[Music]

00:08:58

what that is is the D major here

00:09:02

the a with the major third

00:09:05

and then it's it's a basically it's a

00:09:08

it's a b and an e

00:09:09

a fourth which is an E chord so it's

00:09:13

second fret on the A and the D string so

00:09:15

all together it's

00:09:18

[Music]

00:09:28

when you put the chugs

00:09:31

[Music]

00:09:33

gotta put those little chugs between

00:09:35

each change

00:09:38

two chugs

00:09:41

than the Riff

00:09:45

[Music]

00:09:48

and then he ends that lick when he goes

00:09:50

into the verse

00:09:52

to an a where Dave sings we're getting

00:09:56

funny in the back of my car

00:09:58

and then that's a basically a d over an

00:10:01

a

00:10:06

D inversion

00:10:09

[Music]

00:10:15

one important aspect of this song is the

00:10:17

vibrato also like so

00:10:21

[Music]

00:10:23

you want to overdo it

00:10:26

especially on that first one he's kind

00:10:29

of wiggling his middle finger

00:10:31

which makes this pointer finger move

00:10:34

makes that third sound a little juicier

00:10:38

[Music]

00:10:45

hear that

00:10:50

subtle things like that make make a cool

00:10:53

cool riff

00:10:56

cooler

00:11:00

okay so I gotta add this next riff in

00:11:03

here which most of you'll probably fast

00:11:06

forward but ain't talking about love

00:11:08

[Music]

00:11:18

so a minor to G right

00:11:21

and there's an F in the middle

00:11:24

f g

00:11:28

rest

00:11:30

[Music]

00:11:33

so what I'm doing there I'm palm muting

00:11:35

the whole thing so one thing you want to

00:11:36

get used to doing is holding this a

00:11:38

minor position and going

00:11:42

[Music]

00:11:49

those are the first four notes

00:11:52

which is the low a the E on the D string

00:11:57

and then C

00:12:01

a

00:12:03

so the first four are

00:12:06

then open e and we're gonna do this F

00:12:11

so

00:12:15

that that second part is

00:12:18

open E then

00:12:23

arpeggiate down that F major chord and

00:12:25

then we're gonna go

00:12:27

ring finger and Pinky on the G and the D

00:12:30

here

00:12:32

we're going to strum down

00:12:35

and then do this lick

00:12:37

[Music]

00:12:38

which is c b c a

00:12:42

I'm gonna put a little vibrato on there

00:12:45

too

00:12:46

just like we didn't feel your love

00:12:47

tonight

00:12:49

so that lick without the palm muting

00:12:51

sounds like

00:12:52

[Music]

00:12:54

[Applause]

00:12:58

like

00:12:59

foreign

00:13:04

and then the chorus

00:13:09

which is a minor twice

00:13:13

there's Reverb on the sound a little bit

00:13:15

of delay to give it the echo

00:13:19

you can put a little in between each one

00:13:26

riff

00:13:29

[Music]

00:13:33

and what I'm doing there is B string

00:13:38

which is three five eight ten

00:13:42

foreign

00:13:45

[Music]

00:13:46

you can play the open E with that as

00:13:48

well [Applause]

00:13:49

[Music]

00:13:56

now Palm muted it sounds like

00:14:00

[Music]

00:14:02

we take the Palm mute off on the

00:14:05

and what I'm doing is I'm resting my

00:14:07

palm I'm a humbucker

00:14:09

just enough where you can hear the note

00:14:11

ring through

00:14:15

it's great for all kinds of you know

00:14:17

metal and rock

00:14:18

[Laughter]

00:14:22

[Music]

00:14:24

especially Van Halen stuff so that riff

00:14:26

that I showed you we're just going to

00:14:28

Palm mute

00:14:31

[Music]

00:14:34

in slow motion

00:14:39

[Music]

00:14:46

up to speed

00:14:47

[Music]

00:14:57

on the record Eddie throws a flanger on

00:14:59

that

00:15:01

[Music]

00:15:06

one on here

00:15:09

[Music]

00:15:13

cool all right so there's ain't talking

00:15:16

about love hope that made sense

00:15:18

riff number four we're going to talk

00:15:20

about Best of Both Worlds

00:15:29

[Music]

00:15:36

[Music]

00:15:40

all right cool and I'm going to show you

00:15:42

the [Music]

00:15:51

I'll show you that too so the beginning

00:15:53

this is like playing Highway to Hell

00:15:54

mixed with uh celebrate by cooling the

00:15:57

gang so

00:15:59

what I'm doing there is I'm taking a d

00:16:01

chord and I'm putting the F sharp right

00:16:03

there okay this is kind of like the AC

00:16:05

DC cord man

00:16:07

and I'm going to slide that up to a g

00:16:10

like this I'm going to leave this middle

00:16:12

finger here and slide up to this G

00:16:15

[Music]

00:16:16

then do that again but one time

00:16:21

to an A and it does it pretty much the

00:16:26

same way just shorter

00:16:29

[Music]

00:16:34

then the song goes into

00:16:40

so what I'm doing there is a g a d and

00:16:45

an a

00:16:46

with an a pedal tone

00:16:49

so once again this beginning is this D

00:16:52

with the F sharp

00:16:54

to a g

00:16:58

a

00:17:03

now if you're wondering what he does on

00:17:05

that turn around you're on the verses he

00:17:07

goes [Applause]

00:17:12

[Music]

00:17:16

so what I did there was

00:17:19

I'm going from a b to a c to a d chord

00:17:24

so

00:17:32

[Music]

00:17:34

the way I'm doing that is

00:17:37

I don't know if this is why he does it

00:17:39

but it makes sense to me I've got my

00:17:41

finger on the my middle finger on the B

00:17:46

now I'm playing the D like this

00:17:49

[Music]

00:17:57

which is the end right there

00:18:02

foreign

00:18:04

[Music]

00:18:06

to get it nice and clean

00:18:10

he did he'd like to roll back on the

00:18:11

volume and make that Distortion come

00:18:14

down to a nice clean tone kind of gritty

00:18:17

still has a lot of Headroom in the amp

00:18:19

the amp still sounds big and warm

00:18:21

[Music]

00:18:30

so what I'm doing there is this G toward

00:18:33

shape which is five four three on the

00:18:36

dgb stream with a low a on the bass

00:18:40

that's the pedal tone

00:18:42

and I'm taking my pick put it in between

00:18:45

my fingers like this and I'm plucking

00:18:48

the notes with my

00:18:50

my three fingers pointer middle and ring

00:18:53

and my thumb is on the a string

00:18:57

like that

00:18:59

and then this chord down here is a d

00:19:02

with an F sharp on the bass

00:19:07

so you got to learn how to switch

00:19:08

between these and then go to an A

00:19:14

and then you're just going to do this

00:19:16

chord [Music]

00:19:18

which is like an a dominant seven

00:19:22

sus2 chord

00:19:24

something like that

00:19:28

[Music]

00:19:32

[Applause]

00:19:33

[Music]

00:19:36

cool so there's Best of Both Worlds hope

00:19:39

I'm going slow enough and this is making

00:19:40

sense so comment below let me know if I

00:19:43

need to

00:19:44

slow down a little bit or speed up in

00:19:46

these lessons black and blue is the next

00:19:48

one I want to show you black and blue is

00:19:50

an e

00:19:52

and what we're going to do is we're

00:19:53

going to take this this is basically a

00:19:57

broken up E chord we're going to do

00:19:58

these things

00:20:00

octaves so we're on I'm on the um low a

00:20:05

string second fret and the g string on

00:20:08

the fourth so this is these are the two

00:20:10

notes we're playing and the beauty of

00:20:13

this intro is we're going to take this

00:20:14

octave

00:20:15

we're going to go from two up to four to

00:20:19

five with our pointer finger and our

00:20:21

pinky is just going to follow along and

00:20:23

stay one fret away from everything right

00:20:25

it's going to follow his friend up the

00:20:29

fretboard and then we're gonna add this

00:20:31

High e

00:20:33

with it okay

00:20:35

we're gonna play the octave and then go

00:20:38

do this so it sounds like

00:20:39

[Music]

00:20:43

so slide up

00:20:45

got a lot of gain on it

00:20:49

[Music]

00:20:51

that's the high e and the B so we go

00:20:54

[Music]

00:20:56

down a step

00:20:59

let me start by playing you this lick I

00:21:01

forgot to play in the beginning

00:21:04

foreign

00:21:06

[Music] [Applause]

00:21:11

[Music]

00:21:12

[Applause]

00:21:15

[Music]

00:21:34

foreign

00:21:35

[Music]

00:21:43

cool so that's the main lick I'm going

00:21:45

to show you so back to what we started

00:21:47

with

00:21:49

and then High e and B

00:21:52

go down a fret

00:21:55

and then go

00:21:57

and what I did on this is I I made the

00:22:01

cord so this is an E chord so what I did

00:22:04

was play it like this I fleshed it out I

00:22:07

played the low E

00:22:09

like an E chord with my pinky right

00:22:12

there so we it sounds like this

00:22:16

[Music]

00:22:20

then go

00:22:23

which is low e to a g a little bit of a

00:22:26

Bend

00:22:27

back to the low E

00:22:30

[Music]

00:22:43

then he goes to an a

00:22:47

like this

00:22:49

then it kicks in

00:22:54

what I'm doing there is I'm chugging

00:22:57

on the low E so we go the same riff

00:23:04

I'm playing that E chord

00:23:05

[Music]

00:23:20

foreign

00:23:23

there is an E chord without the major

00:23:26

third in rock and roll you got to leave

00:23:29

the thirds out of your chords most of

00:23:31

the time because it gives the singer and

00:23:34

the instrumentalist to decide if they

00:23:35

want to do a minor pentatonic or a major

00:23:42

[Music]

00:23:51

in actuality so far

00:23:53

three of these intros I've showed you

00:23:55

already have showed you Eddie dabbling

00:23:58

with major and minor a lot especially

00:24:21

off of for unlawful carnal knowledge and

00:24:23

00:24:26

[Music]

00:24:28

[Applause]

00:24:29

[Music]

00:24:34

laughs

00:24:49

we're going to be playing uh the B

00:24:52

string on the fifth fret and we're going

00:24:55

to be playing an open E with it so it's

00:24:58

a Unison note right I'm gonna be going

00:25:01

[Music]

00:25:02

00:25:04

which we're going to take this fifth

00:25:06

fret down to the fourth and back to the

00:25:08

fifth [Music]

00:25:10

and then go down to the second

00:25:15

same thing

00:25:16

both strings open

00:25:21

and then go b a e

00:25:26

like that okay this e is very similar to

00:25:30

black and blue but we're gonna we're

00:25:33

gonna add this e up here okay

00:25:35

foreign

00:25:36

00:25:45

the last time they do that they go

00:25:46

[Applause]

00:25:49

[Music]

00:25:52

that's before they go into the verse a

00:25:57

rake up

00:25:59

[Music]

00:26:05

and you're probably wondering how you're

00:26:08

00:26:11

be playing this like

00:26:13

got a little bit of my hand on the

00:26:28

you gotta slide into it you can slide in

00:26:30

you can slide in from the fourth the

00:26:33

third the second just depends on

00:26:35

whatever you're doing

00:26:36

[Music]

00:26:37

I think I kind of take it from the

00:26:39

around the Third

00:26:48

I kind of attacked those chords like

00:26:50

percussively

00:26:52

so in between each one

00:26:54

I rest my hands on the strings

00:26:58

[Music]

00:26:59

okay that helps you with feedback if

00:27:00

you're allowed on stage and it makes the

Description:

In this video I demonstrate how to play 6 Van Halen intro licks that are suitable for all skill levels and that are a lot of fun tor rock out on! The intros are DOA (Dead Or Alive), Aint Talking' 'Bout Love, Feel Your Love Tonight, Best Of Both Worlds and Top Of The World. I showcased these licks because I felt they were good for beginners all the way up to seasoned players that just want to jam on some Van Halen. I included 3 songs from the David Lee Roth era and 3 from the Sammy Hagar era. Regardless, Eddie Van Halen came up with some great guitar parts no matter who was singing! I hope you enjoy the video. Please suubscribe!
