Whats the HARDEST Van Halen riff?!?! Let's talk about it! I've tried my hand at the legendary swing of I'm the One, the wild greasy bends of Drop Dead Legs, the slapped madness of Mean Street, and many other classic Eddie riffs, but the intro to Hang 'Em High from Diver Down remains untouchable to me. The picking, the groove, the SPEED.... its all too much! But i refuse to let a good riff get me down, so in today's video, i'm gonna bring you all along for my quest to conquer this intro! We're gonna talk technique, muting, picking, and end with a revelation about this riff that certifies that NONE of us are ever going to play it right. Trust me, you wanna see this... its INSANE. Eddie was inhuman.
I'm using my Ibanez RG550 with Fishman Fluence pickups into my Kemper Profiler, which is using the Top Jimi Brown Sound Profiles. They sound amazing!!!
