Hey everyone! Happy Friday!!!

So stoked to share this one with you all. The other day at the gym, I was checking out the Gene Simmons-produced Van Halen demos from 1976, and I couldn't believe the riffs I was hearing! Theres some incredible stuff on these unused songs that NEEDS to be talked about, and that's what we're doing today!!

Snag those TABs and play the home game!

And stay tuned for the special bonus video featuring the details on how I got this guitar tone... there's one little detail that makes a BIG difference!

Cool riffs and you figure them out so quickly.

Greg Rudnicki

Great idea for a video.

Richard Crowther

Great video Ben! Really enjoyed this!

Dan Conley

Awesome. Those early demos are cool. Especially listening to them now (like you mentioned) and hearing riffs and lyrics that later went on to be something else.

Richard Beardsley

Brilliant lesson Ben , thank you.,what about the tune We Die Young ?, cool riff .

Nick Castelluccio

She's the woman is an awesome cut from the demo. it features the breakdown that would later resurface in Meanstreet... one of the best breakdowns ever recorded in heavy rock music...ever!
