BUT...there is something weird that happens..and it's not all that uncommon....some musicians who abuse substances really ARE better BEFORE they quit. They seem to have something to say while they are using that is lost when they quit. The loss of that "thing" is what makes it seem like they rocked while on drugs but suck while sober. It is very strange.
darrvid said:I don't even know what you mean by the 'hammer on thing' other than tapping, but certainly you realize dive bombs were apart of Hendrix's playing well before EVH was around right? Not to say EVH isn't inventive (cause he is) but there's plenty of guitarists out there who design guitars/amps and do all sorts of unique setups.

Not quite. Hammer ons are when you use a fret hand finger to hit or 'hammer' the note to make it sound without using a pick. Tapping is using a pick finger to accomplish this. Tapped harmonics is the other technique you are referring to and they can be used at any harmonic interval on the fingerboard, not just octaves.capnkid said:A lot of people think that "Hammer on's" are tapping.
Hammer on's are what eddie did in eruption usually two or 3 frets above his left hand with his right hand. (If your right handed)
Tapping is accomplished when you hit a harmonic with your right hand 12 frets above the note you are holding with your left hand. (If your right handed) you can hear this in "Dance the Night away" and the intro to "Women in Love".

Anyone know why Alex didn't show up? Ed had his excuse.
Thought it was really big of Michael and Sammy to show up accept and honor Edward in his absence. I thought they handled it like a couple of real class acts. In spite of all the crap the band has been through.

gibson59neck said:When they came out? That song was on the last actual VH album, before they got Sammy and turned into a beer commercial band. Their first three albums were the best, to me. And most of the guys I know that like em like em for those, too. When Ed started going with keys, he made a big mistake. Just listen to "Right Now" - it's awful, watered down, "acceptable to the parents" junk. Oh well.
Nah, I hear ya. All of us change perspectives as we grow older. How many times can we hear the same songs and still feel that electricity we did the first time? Personally, there's a lot of classic rock that makes me really mad, because it was never that good but they play it and play it and play it, like it still NEEDS to be heard. (The Who and The Doors are two bands I never liked or understood, but they are given GOD status because of when they came out.)dragonworks said:whatever, I didn't and still don't pay any attention to them for the reasons mentioned. There are a lot of bands I used to listen to that just don't do it for me anymore cause there music is for drug crazed sex starved teenagers. Zep and Floyd being two of them. I saw Floyd 3 times when I was younger, one of my faves, saw Zep at the show they recorded the song remains the same. Today if they were to be played on the radio station I was listening to at the moment I would just change the station.
capnkid said:You're close, but no cigar. Hammer ons are when you use a fret hand finger to hammer the note, when you include your right hand, it's called a right handed hammer on.
Tapping is what I mentioned above.
