    How many here play?

    I"ve been to www.evh.com where alot of eddie fan guitarists seem to gather.

    Who here in the Army plays guitar? Let's have a pow-wow.

    I'm an old-school Eddie purist. I hate everything after 5150, and gave up on what I learned from 5150 to further pursue the old-school stuff. When other eddie fan-guitarist friends of mine were learning eddie's latest "licks" from the samhagar era and thinking they were cool i was thinking..."those idiots, that's not impressive, he already did the good stuff"

    Bassist here, so CVH is pretty much an open E string. Ocassionally we get a surprise but let's face it...CVH is about DLR with EdWad playing guitar.

Give 'er a shot. Fuck a round a bit.

    I would guess that at least 80% of male hard rock fans have tried to be musicians at one point or another predominately with a guitar.

    A lot seem to be keen for while when they find out how easy basic tapping is, then give up when they find out how hard everything else is and either play bass or stop.

    The rest are drummers...

    I play trombone, coronet, and accordion. So, if we ever do a big band/polka tribute, I'm in.

    Good point though. I enjoy playing and learning as I go, but Im not sure if I'll ever be good enough to write music or creatively play past the CVH stage of the game. It helps to keep things fresh too.. upgrade your amps, add some effects buy a Slammer like I just did. I know, cheap by most standards, but compared to what I was playing on... Sheesh.

    I can still play ATBL, RWTD, YRGM, DTNA, And the cradle will Rock, (Oh)Pretty Woman, Parts of Cathedral, Spanish Fly, and Eruption, 316, BOBW, Black and Blue and Crappo Wabo.

    I don't really solo much anymore, I just "noodle." LOL!!!

    I can still do the classic "Horsie" noise and his "elephant" though. I know a ton of Ed's tricks but I just don't have the time anymore.

    Hahaha...

    I'm back to playing daily, and I think, better than ever...

    Sometimes to warm up, I will play along with Outta Love Again, but then it's on to my own material...

    That song pumps me up when I jam to it cranked up...

    Sometimes I play it as exact as I can, and other times I improvise over it...

    Fun stuff...

    I've got an old Danelectro piece of shit that works ok when plugged into my old Silvertone amp that's not a piece of shit.

    Chords and nothing more...
    The amp gets really loud..I kept trying to play this old "John Law" riff one night forever....

    Later on I was like, "hey baby, I think I fucked my hearing up bigtime".

    John Law will do that. I need to upgrade my amp without spending too much. Anyone have a suggestion? I browsed at the Cube 60's on Ebay...

    Ya, 5150 is the most interesting riff....summer nights tho......ugh (a bit sheepy hehe) Get Up! was my fav off that album.......very hard to cop it without that special guitar he had i forget what it was called....the funky tremolo guitar.
    OU812 was the hagar era album that really turned me off to the newer eddie stuff........that's when I knew things would never be the same........when a shit song like Black n Blue could be their first release and get constant non-stop fucking torturous hellish air-play. Don't know how far it went on the charts but man......that was my first realization that the music industry cramms shit down people's throats and brainwashes them into thinking a shit song can be number 1.......truly they treat the public like sheep.
    Classic Van Halen was the last, best hard rock there ever will be. They defined 80's rock, all other rock in the 80's and even into some of the 90's were attempts at copying Dave and the crew. They were ALL Dave wanna-be's!

    Uh oh... I like the opening to Black n Blue...I dont like the song per say, but I like playing the intro. But yeah, Ed's guitar seemed mashed or distorted from OU812 and on...
