Sign up for my GL365 Academy to finally understand the guitar, develop a great ear for music, pro level technique and much more! Personalized support from me!

In this Drop Dead Legs guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play this incredible Van Halen classic off of their massively successful 1984 album.

The tuning is Drop D Tuning. That is, starting from the 6th string, D A D G B E.

Eddie Van Halen' riffs throughout "Drop Dead Legs" are some of my favorite that he ever wrote. The main riff is played during the verse sections, and it employs a very tricky technique that sounds like he is using a whammy bar, but in fact, he is creating that effect with his frethand fingers. Really ingenious how he puts it together all within a rock solid and laid back groove.

The other main section of "Drop Dead Legs" moves all over the fretboard while using a number of techniques including some legato based 3 note-per-string licks. It is really fun to play once you get it under your fingers.

Although I usually cover the solos of the songs that I teach, I have decided not to even try with this one. This solo has many parts that are just un-recreatable. For that reason, I have decided to skip it. :)

Have fun guys! #dropdeadlegsguitarlesson #vanhalen #guitarcovers

You bring luck to my life with your wonderful lessons! I have been playing this for about seven hours the last two days. Start learning it yesterday. Remember that I tried it ten years ago and gave up - now I am really playing it. It is such a cool riff, and I have always loved the song back in my youth! As I said, you bring dreams come true with your great lessons! Dreams of playing such a cool riff comes true❤️❤️❤️

May I remind everybody that 25 years ago we had to badger a guitarist friend, hire a teacher or fuck around all day week in and week out with book tabs and learning by ear from the fuckin' CD, this is priceless one-stop jamming man...

Carl Brown, you rock dude. Thanks for all the lessons. You are so prolific, you have lessons for all the best tunes. Really appreciate all your effort. I let the commercials play all the way through, hope that helps with YouTube’s new, messed up monetization policies. Keep rockin dude. Peace.
