So it's time to learn some EVH. 3 good ones to start with?

[Heritage Softail]

I have been a disciple of classic rock, riff rock, and blues. Never really into EVH much. Rush/Zep/blues was it.

I am ready to burn some time on learning some VH.

What are a few good songs that cover his signature licks.

I will not be getting the EVH tennis shoes to play better...

 

[dpeterson]

start at the top... VH1, on fire, little dreamer, all of it.

 

[drewiv]

I would have to say 'Unchained' should be on the list. I think that riff is EVH.

 

[rupe]

Runnin' with the Devil is a great starting point...killer dynamic riffs and simple solo.
Dance the Night Away is another cool riff and a great intro to his tapped harmonics.
Hot for Teacher is a great overall workout that showcases both cool licks/solos and his awesome feel for rhythm.

 

[Gjeven]

Panama is a great song, and it's easy to play.

 

[lester]

I'm the One, Mean Streets and Eruption. Throw in those solos from One Foot Out the Door as a bonus.

I would go with:

Panama
Dance The Night Away and
Runnin' With The Devil

 

[Aristocat]

Feel Your Love Tonight
Little Dreamer (great solo and chord structure)
Women In Love (Tapping is tricky, but the verse and chorus structure is easy enough)

In a simple rhyme, secrets, so this is love

 

[Leotis]

I would say start with the first note of VHI and end with the last note of 1984.

 

[paulyc]

Spanish Fly is a BITCH . That long ascending run.

 

[flash6969]

I would go with:

Panama
Dance The Night Away and
Runnin' With The Devil

Dance the night away is deceptively easy - I say start with this one!

I'm going to say "I'm The One" because I recently figured that one out.
