Can we just acknowledge for a minute how badass of a rhythm player Eddie was. For all his lead chops, his groove was unmatched.

Thanks for revisiting this Marty. Love when you discuss the tones the artists use too.

Magic. Thanks for showing us. Great tone as well, you seemed to have really nailed it.

Marty you do an awesome job. EVH is and will always be my MVP. When God handed out raw guitar talent Eddie got in line 5 times. R.I.P. EVH

That was freakin awesome, I would have never figured out by ear like that.those chords and harmonics. Thank you. Have to go back to using head phones again to hear things. I always try to play all the nuances

No disrespect at all, but for the first time I didn't feel like a complete idiot cause I struggle so hard to master any of your content after you made a small mistake it really hit home. Not only do you carefully mimic a master and but also giving us tips on how we can also mimic some of the hardest content to get right. Thanks for all you do!

You never fail to disappoint Marty - this song has the outro solo from hell!

That “kinda drunk swagger” makes us fall in love with Eddie’s rhythm.

Hi Marty, one of my favorites and yours. I betcha used to play this live all the time. I got up at 12:30 pm and plugged in and saw your video. I bet my neighbors aren't too happy, I turned it down, lol. Peace 🕊️.

Thanks a bunch Marty! You make it look easy enough that even a dope like me might half-ass pull it off.
P.S. I'm pretty solid on mowers and such if you need some help from Nawth Kerliner.
