instagram @BenEllerGuitars skype lessons? BenEllerGuitars@ hey kids! On weekend wankshop 199, you’re gonna sit down with Uncle Ben here and get yourself a complete lesson on how Eddie Van Halen REALLY plays the intro to Drop Dead Legs off of Van Halen’s classic 1984 record! You’ll possibly be as shocked as i was to learn there is NO tremolo bar trickery to be found in this riff! I thought forever he was using the whammy on those bends. Tune your guitar to drop D tuning and play along! In this lesson you’ll get some tone tips, and a complete note for note lesson on how to play this dope riff. At the end we will also talk about where the heck the downbeat is in that intro. It might sound free time, but its not!
