Thanks for this, man. This is one of those riffs I've been putting off how to actually play for years, and tonight, you taught me how to play it the right way confidently. Teaching through a camera is tough, and you did a great job.

All these dudes saying tune your guitar probably don't even realize your tuned down half a step, like you said you were! Sounds in tune to me! And sounds awesome!

[dalealanbryant]

This guy's good. He's efficient; not hurried, and not too slow. He doesn't spend - an eternity - describing a given thing. 👍

Thank You for posting all these lessons and for all your time and effort involved! It is appreciated!

Great job at accenting those certain lil parts like the thumb and mid finger on 2nd n 3rd fret of E string to help get right timing for those learning the lick, the way you teach those parts by breaking them down seperate is great, i been trying to get this song right and your way of teaching it nailed it for me awesome job

[peterworam]

This is an excellent lesson. Very good job, top to bottom. Not only can you play, you have the heart of a teacher.

[barryhicks]

VERY well done! You have a gift for playing AND teaching.

[robschannel]

Not one of these jokers rippin this guy has a video uploaded-figures. Nice lesson dude.

[jacksonmarshallkramer]

The playing is precise and crystal clear. Nicely done.

[jperryfan]

Great job Totally illustrates not only Ed's songwriting ability but also and most importantly that Rythym guitar is more important than lead

[johnvanbortle]

You are an awesome teacher lots of attention to detail!!

[samuelw]

very good lesson...not a lot of wasted time talking, just the lesson, which is what i wanted. Some guys on here are just so in love with themselves and their voice that so much time is wasted on nothing. Way to go my friend...keep 'em coming!

[philcowdall]

Great lesson, esp the bit on the harmonics/whammy bar dives. There are loads of good EVH guitar lessons out there on how to play the main riffs in songs but you take the time to teach us how to do all the little embellishments which, lets face it, we all wanna do and is a integral part of the EVH sound! so cheers man, have subscribed and can't wait to check out more of your vids! Happy New Year from Wales, UK!

[johnbohlinger]

Man, you nailed this. Awesome work. I've been off for years. Thank you.

[brentholladay]

You are a great teacher, thanks for the wonderful very precise easy to follow lesson. Most channels, the teachers skip over crucial points for beginners, to where we have to look up the tab. Thanks,
I Just subscribed!

[zombywoof]

I know what a guitar and strings are. Past that I'm lost. Lol
I like your teaching style. Nice and slow. That's what I would need if I ever took up guitar.
