You know, without even thinking about it. Your hands have done it so many times that they just play it out of sheer habit.

For me, it's a keyboard instead of a guitar, but I ALWAYS find myself playing the opening riff of "5150."

Either the riff to "Dance The Night Away" or "Mean Street."

Covered both ends of the spectrum on that one. http://216.10.25.192/vhlforum/smilies/wink.gif

Oh yeah, what was I THINKING? http://216.10.25.192/vhlforum/smilies/eek.gif "Humans Being" - What a riff... http://216.10.25.192/vhlforum/smilies/cool.gif

Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love or Dance the Night Away.

Unchained......badly http://216.10.25.192/vhlforum/smilies/eek.gif

"Without You","Hot For Teacher" or "Girl Gone Bad"

Well ain't life grand when you finally hit it, I'm always a sucker for a real good time, woke up in life to find i almost missed it,aint I glad that love is blind


What kind of fashion is this flash infatation. Is all this admiration mutual. Need no lessons in emotional starvation, that look in her eyes is too good to be true

Feel Your Love Tonight, Girl Gone Bad, pieces of various solos...

"Smoke on the water"--Deep Purple

DDUNN DDUNN DDUNN
DDUNN DDUNN DAAAH DOOWW
DDUNN DDUNN DDUNN...

I think we all share a common need to play a little bit (or a lot) of "Unchained" every time we plug in

I even sorta play it on the piano! sacrelige, I know! http://216.10.25.192/vhlforum/smilies/redface.gif

"i still dream big thanx to Van Halen music!" - Eddie_italian
"Rockin' steady in her daddy's car, she got the stereo with the big guitars..."

A lot of times, it's kinda like Ed's extended "316" solo on RHRN - a lot of random tapping, squeals, and dive bombs. THEN, I'm ready to go into the songs. http://216.10.25.192/vhlforum/smilies/biggrin.gif

------------------
RIGHT NOW....The original Van Halen is working together somewhere....

sometimes i go right into feel your love tonight. ya unchained seems to be the winner here...

Either Unchained or Beautiful Girls, depends on my mood

The first song I usually play ?
Panama , that's for sure ... then with the D-tune Unchained for sure ! http://216.10.25.192/vhlforum/smilies/biggrin.gif http://216.10.25.192/vhlforum/smilies/smile.gif http://216.10.25.192/vhlforum/smilies/wink.gif http://216.10.25.192/vhlforum/smilies/eek.gif

Eddie_italian from Italy --- member of the G4

The jump-solo on keyboards...i never get it like it's on the record, though
I lent out an electric guitar from our guitarist for a week, and I kinda figured out how to play the beginning of Romeo Delight and One Way to Rock. I couldn't learn more in a week, had bleeding fingers after it ;)

All I can play is the "Ain't Talkin' Bout Love" and "Runnin' With The Devil" intros and I always mess up on the hammer-on for RWTD...that's a real pain for me. I just started a couple months ago and my guitar teacher gives me so many riffs to work on I can never get to playing just VH. He's got a great taste in music, though. I get everything from VH to new songs like "Kryptonite" in portions on tabs. I'm still having fun, but learning is a pain.

Joe

Unchained intro followed by lots of shredding and tapping.

yeah, joe, i'm experimenting with kryptonite as well. good tune. vh is better though. i'm also trying to perfect the intro to panama, that's a fun one to play.

Eruption http://216.10.25.192/vhlforum/smilies/biggrin.gif yeah right http://216.10.25.192/vhlforum/smilies/rolleyes.gif
Mean Street

For me, whatever it is my first chord is open "A" with this blues riff that can go into whatever mood that I'm in at that time.http://www.vhforums.com/vhlforum/smilies/wink.gif

As far as VH, I think "A" is the intro to Eruption which I tend do do a "3:15" so to speak.

Top 7 songs(favs) that I play?, ...(All these or most do not include the solo in them!)http://www.vhforums.com/vhlforum/smilies/wink.gif

I have never used or incorperated the whammy bar in my style which is kinda weird since I'm a VH freakazoid! LOL ...

Unchained
Panama
Run A Round
Hot For Teacher
DOA
Romeo Delight
Little Dreamer

The first few notes of "Eruption"

It's usually either "Ain't Talkin 'bout Love" or "Mean Street". Occasionally I'll throw a little "Unchained" in there when I'm in a "Dropped D" kind of mood.

------------------
"Way down yonder in Louisville lived a cat named Big, Bad Bill..."

Lately I've been playing Aint Talkin Bout Love.
