I noticed a few other weird things about the file missing some sound effects too. I re-exported the file and have uploaded it to the site. The corrections should be sorted now! Sorry for the confusion. Best, DZ
I'm only 1/2 way through the latest Nuno episode but had to write this.That discussion of Push Comes to Shove with you and Nuno is amazing. It has always been one of my favorite solos of his and it was great to hear you two greats agreeing. Funny enough, the part that you didn't discuss (the run after the harmonics that begin the solo) was the part that always blew me away. (he does it in the full bug too). That part doesn't get enough love but wow the detail you went into on the other parts and the rhythm made me appreciate it so much more.
Seriously, any true EVH fan would pay 5-10 times what you are charging for this series. Brilliant
Loved episodes 6&7! Runnin' With The Dweezil is my favorite podcast series ever! It's informative, hilarious... surprising. You're creating possibly THE definitive analysis of the greatest rock guitarist of all time. Thank for all the extras which are well worth the wait. I'm in no hurry for this to end, so another vote for taking your time so we can all savor the flavor.
Hey Dweezil. It’s come up a few times in the podcast: the “tinkle” noise at the beginning of Runnin’ With the Devil. I’ve always seen it described and transcribed as raking the strings behind the nut. Doing that never sounded right but I figured it was different guitars or some other variable. Recently I happened to rake the strings on a Gibson between the Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar and there it was! Just like the song. Normally I wouldn’t make a public announcement over something so trivial, but this is the level of detail I’ve really enjoyed on these podcasts and though I’d share mine. Keep up the great work; it is appreciated
Eddie used the Ibanez Destroyer to record “Runnin’ With The Devil’ and it is indeed a rake behind the Tune-O-Matic bridge. Interestingly, he does it THROUGHOUT the recording, not just in the intro. This occurs in many instances when he is holding the D triad at the 7th fret of the D, G and B strings. You can hear it if you listen carefully to the isolated track.
I demonstrate this in a clip I made with my own 1976 Ibanez Destroyer which is tuned to the correct tuning offset that Eddie used on the album:
Thanks very much! It blew my mind when the soloed tracks came out and you could really hear the extra “behind the bridge rakes” DURING the song in addition to the well known one that kicks off the tune. Now I can’t un-hear it, even when I listen to the finished album version!
On a related note, I’m not playing the riff quite right in this clip because I’m not getting the quick pick scrape into the riff. I know you have mentioned how Ed showed you that quick pick scrape part when he showed you how to play the whole riff on that fateful day...can you describe or demonstrate how to perform that pick scrape in combination with the standard left hand slide? I recall you mentioning that he showed you how he held the pick for this part as well. Of all the work I’ve done on transcribing Ed over the last 30 plus years, I STILL struggle with that one little pick slide and integrating it properly into the riff!
Hey Dweez don't worry about getting behind with your schedule i'm sure it bothers you but you'll get it. This program of interviews you've put together is just freaking unheard of and i would pay twice what i gave you to listen to all these guitar hero's talk about Eddie and what his guitar/musical wizardry did for us all. You need a hard drive? You need a computer? Whatever? Just let me know and i'll fix you up! Anyhow hang in there your amazing and we love you, best of luck.
What I've listened to so far, is pure gold magic. I don't have any musician folk in my life that I can talk about things Edward, and how much he inspired my life as a musician. I feel like I'm sitting in a room with my buds, just rapping about Eddie. Sometimes going "Yeah right!!!???" or "Wow! I never heard that!". Thank you Dweezil, you are making history here. I love you man!!!!!
I know you're all chomping at the bit waiting for part 2 and I appreciate your patience. While I was pushing hard to get it done I ended up getting sick and had to take some time off to rest. I'm just as anxious as all of you to get it finished and delivered for you to enjoy. As soon as I can I will post it, just have to get past this sore throat and fever. Best, DZ
Hi, Dweezil, hope you feel better soon! I just wanted to express my appreciation for this podcast. Not only are they very insightful, but they’ve given me huge inspiration in learning more Van Halen riffs, licks, and solos! Thanks again for all your hard work! This is truly a gift!!
Get some rest. Although I know the “downtime” will probably have your head spinning with even more creative ideas you’ll be wanting to execute! Lol. You’ve clearly been getting inspired making these podcasts into little audio movies. I’m digging it and we are all benefiting from it. Hope you feel better. Stay safe.
You have access to the first six because that's all that's been released thus far. Dweezil had some computer problems in December and has been working on catching up the best he can. So, just chill while the fantastic content keeps rolling.
It's true, the episodes are still in production so only 6 have been released so far. Thanks for your patience and I'm glad you're enjoying the podcast so far. Part 2 of the Nuno Bettencourt episode is shaping up to be a landmark for all things concerning Fair Warning.
Honestly, I can't say enough just how great this podcast has been thus far!! Along with Eddie's passing, it's inspired me to finally learn the guitar after all these years. I tried to learn to play at age eleven, learned some basics but didn't stick with it out of frustration. I wanted to be as great as Eddie, Nuno and you, Dweezil!! I became a singer instead but always regretted not sticking with it. It's never too late I guess and I owe it to that youth within me! btw the Confessions record was and will always be a special record to me, still such a fun listen!! Lastly, what advice would you give a 43 year old aspiring guitarist? Thanks for this podcast and the influence, Dweezil!
Hi , try clicking on your picture icon at the top right of the screen - next to the shopping cart - this should open up your profile and on the left hand side when you scroll down you should see where you can update your image / edit data etc.... . Hope this helps ?
Dweezil when your done with the whole EVH series, you and Blues need to do a weekly podcast! It could be on anything, gear talk, classic albums, recording, touring, ect. You and Blues are so fun to listen to and it comes off very natural. It is easy to hear that you both enjoying hanging out with each other and have a great relationship along with some awesome stories. I laughed so hard on the paper bag story. And yeah I would pay for weekly podcast of Dweezil & Blues!
I'm looking into it.
I am hearing parts repeated in episode 7, specifically the discussion about "So this is love" Anyone else getting this ?
Loved the episode, especially that they share my love for the solo in "Push comes to Shove" Eddie at the top of his game musically
I noticed a few other weird things about the file missing some sound effects too. I re-exported the file and have uploaded it to the site. The corrections should be sorted now! Sorry for the confusion. Best, DZ
I did too. Seemed like a whole 10min or so section repeated then moved on.
This episode 7 is excellent. Great insight. On an unrelated note, has Nuno said when that new Extreme album will finally come out???!

Hi Dweezil,
I’m loving the podcast!
Hey, have you thought about doing an episode with Phil X (Bon Jovi, The Drills)?
He’s a HUGE EVH fan.
Cheers!

Take care and wish you a speedy recovery... Loving the podcast so far - amazing stuff!
Get well soon.
Hope you feel bette Dweezil. Vitamin D, C and zinc....
Thanks Mark! Working indoors all time gives you "studio tan" and proper vitamin D from the sun is definitely something I could use.
Feel Better Dweezil! Thank you for doing all that you are doing - absolutely love all of these podcasts and all of your hard work!
Hi Dweezil, hope you’re doing well. When is the 2nd part of Nuno’s podcast being released?
I love these!!! However, I bought the 5150 bundle but only have access to the first 6 episodes, how do I get the rest?

Rich.B - Thanks! I did try that several times on my desktop but nothing. Just tried it using my iPhone and success
