Unit 6
Getting The Tone
Chris takes you through all the guitars, amps and pedals we used to get an accurate Eddie Van Halen tone. Yes, tone is generally in the fingers, but there is only so much you can do without some of these key bits of gear!
Welcome to the Eddie Van Halen Player Study! As guitarists, when we think of finger tapping, we think of Eddie Van Halen! He was a true pioneer of rock finger tapping and a true master of the style. In this course we will be taking you through a finger tapping masterclass as well as analysing all the other techniques and tricks that EVH uses in his playing

Eddie Van Halen transformed the way electric guitar can be played!

We go the extra mile to ensure that you can integrate these cool ideas into your own improvisation in the Eddie's Trick Bag section. This includes a wide variety of harmonics, bluesy licks and quick pentatonic playing. We will be applying all these techniques into two awesome EVH style solos, as well a cool Van Halen rhythm track. As with all our player studies, by the end of the course you will have a deeper understanding of how to apply the EVH style into your own playing.
