Even when challenged with writing 'simple' music, Eddie still made it sound amazing.

There's a lot more going on in this riff than meets the eye.

The Echoplex before the amp.

The Flanger before the amp.

The muted open A string resonating underneath the other notes, creating an ominous drone, almost like a modern synth line.

The palm muting itself, which is so much easier to achieve if you use Eddie's middle finger pick grip.

While Eddie picked this with a combo of down and up strokes, I find all downs is easier for making each note thump.

It's a work of art, and it's so typical of EVH's rhythm playing: full of nuance, subtlety, expression and swing.

Get this tone and many others included in my Shred Like Ed course ????????????
