Lesson
Introduction from Jeff Fiorentino In these "Vh'izing Originals" guitar lessons I want to not only teach you some Van Halen go to techniques, sounds, and arrangements, but I also want you to understand that the VH guitar style can be a creative spring-board and is transferable into any style your want, hopefully your own style of course.. It's not about the Phase 90 or the Flanger, it's about the approach to the fretboard. Van Halen takes a very free spirited approach to music, this allows for a limitless creative process. My hope for these lessons as we embark on this series of original Van Halen influenced materials is that you not only learn some cool riffs and solos to impress your friends with but also you take the creative process I'm going to talk a lot about on the video lessons and in the lesson text and run with it to create your own music. All this being said, please listen to this lesson's song example a few times before diving into the tabs and video lesson so that you can get the absolute most out of this guitar lesson. Enjoy the lesson and as always CRANK IT UP!! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Van Halen Techniques 2 JFRocks Guitar TABs & Lesson Notes Transcribed by: Erica Reese Lesson notes by: Jeff Fiorentino Copyright © 2012-2014 JFRocks.com All rights reserved.

Lesson 1 Man Halen - (Main Theme Riffing) In this lesson segment we'll deal with Van Halen groove riffing and delve into odd time Van Halen in the process. Make note as well that we're incorporating a tap into our riffing, and also other "Tricks", such as palm scrapes for example. See video lesson for detail.
