PUSH COMES TO SHOVE (cover)

In memory of one of the very greatest guitarists and songwriters... Eddie Van Halen...

After I posted my cover Eruption, I was going through Van Halen’s catalogue and Fair Warning was always one of my favourite VH albums. It features songs like Mean Street, Dirty Movies (I love That song!), Unchained, Hear about it later, So this is Love?, Sinner’s Swing, so many classic rockers. But there is one quite peculiar song there too, which contains in my opinion one of Eddie’s very best guitar solos: Push Comes to Shove.

What strikes me here is the great and really special songwriting. Killer sections and Dave singing at his best. Many influences, it has that seventies vibe, reggae, funk and a bit of fusion. For me, Eddie steals the show here for coming up with that solo section and those most peculiar chords on rhythm guitar that gives this song such a strange feel. Eddie chose the most unique notes, that basically according to music theory wouldn’t fit in. But it creates such a tension and unique feel. That paired with his playing style, picking very hard and always with passion and maximum intensity. Great, great work.

I really sat down with all the instrumentation, all the parts, not using any tabs, all by ear, so I might’ve missed a few things here, nor do I claim to come close to Van Halen’s original. This is to celebrate Eddie, his life and legacy, so much I owe to Eddie. He is the one that made my early years so much fun and he’s the reason I play guitar... Rest In Peace Eddie... here’s to you!

-Dan

A little cool quote from a Dutch writer Nico Dijkshoorn:
"Eddie van Halen was a fantastic person and an alien guitarist, but he is to blame for many things. Boys of 14 who, in anticipation of their first flax mustache, practiced for months on the chords with which you could play Imagine by John Lennon, they suddenly had a problem after Eddie van Halen: how the fuck did you get that high-pitched screaming sound, as if three floors higher a baby fell to the floor?

Eddie has set the bar too high. Before Eddie you could get away with pushing up some strings and pulling a complicated guitar face, but because of his juggling in Eruption and his solo in Michael Jackson's Beat It, millions of boys and girls stopped playing the guitar and then started filling courses in the neighborhood supermarket."

THE RUSH OF THE RACE AND THE CALM AFTER | SHORT TALES PART VI

This vivid and lively piece for three acoustic guitars is made as a continuation of my Short Tales Series. As the title implies wild flurries of notes are followed up by the guitars in sequence and in unison, chasing , each challenging the other. Twists and turns follow into happy, mysterious, elated, restless and melancholic passages, always in movement. I find great joy in coming up with unexpected harmonies that can come from many different styles. In this sense this series doesn’t follow any strict style or form. Parts, especially the lead guitar are improvised. The ending has a little surprise so don’t leave too soon... Wait for it! ;)

I play my Flamenco Negro guitar strung with a new type of carbon strings for acoustic guitar by Knobloch ACTIVES CX carbon medium tension recommended by flamenco meastro Antonio Rey.

I hope you will enjoy this sixth Short Tale and as always I really enjoy your likes, comments and shares.

Lyrics:

The illness progresses
The cure is to accept it and move on
What used to be molasses
Turning my capillaries to stone

No amount of cough drops 
Will fix how choked up 
I am over you

My heart is sore
You push for more
I'm barely pulling through

Inmóvil me quedo quieto y me pudro
Ya que tiene mas sentido que esperar un milagro

The cavities and ulcers decorate my body
Inside out, my temples throbbing with persistent ache
You know too damn well from you there is no remedy
I wilt away and leave the sorrows in my wake

Inmóvil me quedo quieto y me pudro
Ya que tiene mas sentido que esperar un milagro

The illness progresses
Pathology suggests it's there to stay
I wear no rosy glasses
But still I'm thankful for another day

No amount of cough drops 
Will fix how choked up 
I am over you

My heart is sore
Tears hit the floor
I'm barely pulling through

Inmóvil me quedo quieto y me pudro
Ya que tiene mas sentido que esperar un milagro

Inmóvil me quedo quieto y me pudro
Ya que tiene mas sentido que esperar un milagro
