What I was wondering is if I got the "BROWN SOUND" right? or Close?

This is a 5150 patch on my GT-8. I think it's pretty close... oh yeah and this song rocks too... Still learning it though.
This is only three days of messing with this song.

A trick EVH used was to add miniscule pitchshifting to fatten up the sound. Use the PS in the GT8 and set one slightly flat and the other slightly sharp. Don't overdo it or it'll sound weird and out of tune. Good playing btw, maybe try to find a backing for it with drums and bass?

Thanks guys.

Arjen I was looking at that patch, I have two that are EVH patches, one is the 5150 the other is an "Eruption" patch. The latter I know has the PS engaged.

It was weird, that song all of a sudden came into my head and I looked it up in my Guitar Pro Library and sure enough it was there... That's not the weird part though. What's weird is I don't remember hearing that song for a long long time. <Shrug>.

I'll look for a BT and the original, I know have a CD here somewhere and keep practicing. Hell I may even get to pull of a little Eddie in the next week or so.... :shock: :shock:

I would've never 'thunk' I could do that when I started playing guitar...... WOOT!!!! :)

Sounds real good. If you want I can send you a decent backing track that I have. If you want the original, I can shoot that your way as well. Just let me know! :) Also, here is a pretty decent tab in case anyone is interested...I think there were a few little mistakes, but it seems to work pretty well: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/v/van_halen/aint_talkin_bout_love_tab.htm

Falcon1 = Dagwood?

It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.
